In the example above, I would like to do a vlookup in column C that matches the digits in column A to those in column F, with the output being the corresponding value in column G. I believe it involves the left function but not sure how to really use it here.
I am attempting to lookup two values, 32 and 686 w/ this formula-
=IF(ISNA(VLOOKUP(O3,Table!R:S,2,0)),"",VLOOKUP(O3,Table!R:S,2,0))
It fails to deliver the values. It works on normal text. Can this be altered to accomodate?
I have a list of patient records in one sheet - looks something like this - pin number in one column and respective dates each in a column:
pinfudate rtenddate
285423/01/20021/02/2002
41314/08/199818/08/1998
554322/12/200530/12/2005

678024/06/199912/07/1999
678026/05/199926/05/1999
I want to do a VLookup from another sheet to but the problem is that where a patient had 2 or more procedures as in the case of pin # 6704 and 6780 above - I would have a second or third set of columns along side each other to show the different procedures.
I have a list of thousands of SKU numbers. Most of these numbers look like this: 5212345. However I have a group of products whose numbers look like this: 0123456. As you can see my problem the SKU numbers start with a 0.
In my spreadsheet the user is going to be typing in the SKU number and that will be used to return other information regarding that SKU. Is it possible to design a vlookup function to be used with both types of SKU's or do I need to come up with something creative regarding the SKU's that start with 0's.
I am using a lookup formula to look up data associated with part numbers. The part numbers are formated as text (in both tables) since many of them have leading zeros and if formated as a number, the zero drops off.
I find that sometimes the lookup does not work but if I go into the cell and retype the number, it will works. I have also tried recreating the number using the text formula and that works on nuumbers that don't include a dash. I don't understand what's happening to the data and want to know how to reformat it so the lookup will work.
I have a very large database (42455 lines) which has three columns. The column A is a shipment number which is a combination of numbers and letters, column B is a ship date, column C is a dollar value for each shipment. This range (A2:C42455) is named SHIPMENTS. I have a second database right next to it that contains warranty information. Column D has the shipment number, Column E has the date the warranty call came in. These last two columns have only 2788 lines.
I'm using VLOOKUP in column F to match Ship dates with Warranty Call dates. The formula is:
=VLOOKUP(D2,SHIPMENTS,2,False)
and was dragged down all 2788 lines.
Out of the 2788 lines it did not find dates for 301 of them. Some of those 301 have Shipment numbers that are only numbers (no letters). As a test I copied one of the "unfound and all numbers" shipment numbers and did a control+F for all of column A and it found it. Clearly VLOOKUP is missing some of the Shipment numbers. I made sure that the Shipment number in column A matches the number in column D by cancelling out of the Find window and clicking on the found cell. Then I made sure there are no stray spaces tacked onto the end of the number and there were none. I hit enter.
At this point excel starts calculating again and when I go back up to the VLOOKUP (In column F) it has now found the data I've asked it for originally. I've not changed any of the values of either cell...All I've done is use Control+F to manually find the Shipment number in SHIPMENTS and then verified that there were no spaces in the found cell by clicking on it and using the arrow keys. Once that was done I hit enter.
Somehow this sequence of actions allows VLOOKUP to now find the cell.
I tried to show pictures according to numbers code in my list on the sheet 2, during the xploring of web i saw some examples with vlookup and data validation functions.
View 5 Replies View RelatedI think I need a macro to do this. Can I use vlookup function for a range of number? lets say I have number 1001 to 1005. i want to combine the result. any other way other than using this formula
=vlookup(1001,table,2,false)+vlookup(1002,table,2,false)+vlookup(1003,table,2,false)+vlookup(1004,ta ble,2,false)+vlookup(1005,table,2,false)
Is there possibility to define a function that works like say =clookup(numlow,numhigh,table,2,false)?
I have a hierarchy of system requirements where the hierarchy is represented in "ID" (Column A) by a structure such as:
1: Parent
1.1: Child of 1
1.1.1: Child of 1.1 and Grand-child of 1
etc., you get the picture. My hierarchy is 5 deep at most, there are no spaces, just numbers and periods.
I have to "massage" the spreadsheet to relate the requirements based on their "Name" (Column B) rather than through their "ID" (Column A).
So I created "Parent ID" (Column C) that calculates the ID of the Parent or "0" if there's no Parent.
Now, I need to lookup the value of "Name" for that "Parent ID" and put it in "Parent Name" (Column D).
The formula I have come up with is "=VLOOKUP((C2),$A1:$B1000,2,FALSE)"
As you see in the attached spreadsheet, the only time this works is when the "Parent ID" contains at least two periods, otherwise I get a "#N/A" result.
VLookups can be used to change letters into numbers, is it possible to turn numbers into letters?
i.e
A-7 =vlookup(A,table1,2,1)
7-A =????
I have a column of numbers I want to look up, and a column of results to the right I want to spit out.
So I have the vlookup formula in column G, H a copy of that, except it's showing the formula instead of result. Same thing with I and J. So you can see the actual formula.
I've manually found the first two numbers and colored them red and green... but I can't seem to get the formula to work.. As you can see, it's only able to find the negative numbers, but not any of the positive numbers.
I tried to test the cells if they are equal or not, and they seem to be equal!
I've 2 worksheets, Summary and Sales. I need to get the total sales figure from the "Sales" worksheet onto the Summary worksheet. Sales data are pasted onto the worksheet monthly. Tried using vlookup but problem is, the column containing the total sales figure may vary and I need to update the vlookup formula. Another problem is that sometimes the Total sales (the lookup value) is not in the first column. Tried using the Index and Match combo but cannot get it to work. I've attached a simple mock up to hopefully illustrate my case better. I believe the experts in this forum should find this rather easy!

I'm using the vlookup function to pull numbers off an array. Is there a way that I can get the vlookup function to pick the smallest number greater than or equal to my Look_up value. If not is there a function that can do that?

I have never use vlookup before, nor have I ever used excel other than for data entry. What is the easiest and most efficient way to do this?
I searched this site and seen vlookup mentioned for this type of automatic data entry. There may be another way or method I am not aware of.
I built an Excel Macro to pull information from my schedule and compile it within another Worksheet. The Macro below searches for an instance of "Unavailable" and then populates my Data Worksheet with the WeekDays (ie: M-W-F or ALL Week), the Details (ie: Vacation or Training) and the Name of the employee. I struggled with a way to populate my employee name as "unavailable" isn't always offset by the same amount of characters to employee name (as it is with WeekDays and Details). Instead, I collected the row in which "Unavailable" was found.
I used the Vlookup function to populate the number of Absences and it worked swell.
=VLOOKUP(C2,O:P,2,FALSE)
C2 is populated with Weekdays (ie: ALL week or M-W-F)
O contains a list of possible day combinations
P contains the number of days
I hoped to use a similar function to populate my employee names. This didn't work well a 'tall.

=VLOOKUP(LARGE(B3:B20,1),B3:C20,2,) to =VLOOKUP(LARGE(B3:B20,14),B3:C20,2,)
Works great, except when a number is duplicated, (E.G. 14,13,13,12,11,10,10,9,8 etc). It then returns the first value from(C) repeated, and not the value from the second and subsequent duplicated reference numbers.
I have the following working great, but would like to see it refine a little, as the data vlookup is 6 digits, but i only needs the last 4 digits is enough for me to work, my question is how do i go about adding that to the following function i have implemented and working fine.
=IF(ISERROR(VLOOKUP(B4,' cmfs01home$peter[tracker data 4-25-14-a.xlsx]ControlSheet'!$B$2:$F$301,4,FALSE)),"",VLOOKUP(B4,' cmfs01home$peter[tracker data 4-25-14-a.xlsx]ControlSheet'!$B$2:$F$301,4,FALSE)
I have a Vlookup which I want to modify so that it can become dynamic as the table array part of the vlookup will change.
So the basic vlookup is as follows:
=VLOOKUP($R$3,ATTRIBUTION_FACTSET!$M$60:$P$73,2,0)
but the data I am looking for wont always be in the range M60:P73.
So I tried to make it dynamic by doing the following:
=VLOOKUP($R$3,INDIRECT("ATTRIBUTION_FACTSET"&"!M"&U1&":P"&V1),2,FALSE)
The idea being that U1 and V1 would be numbers that can change so in this case U1 would equal 60 and V1 would equal 73
This vlookup is giving me #N/A and no matter how I modify it I cannot get it to work.

View 4 Replies View RelatedI’m trying to develop a workbook which holds monthly data on loan information. It tracks the interest and balance on the loan. I want the first page to have a table displaying the interest payments for every individual tab. When I was brainstorming the idea, I was considering a sort of Vlookup function to find the tab the account is on and then a further function, possibly another vlookup which connects the month to that month’s interest payment. Can anyone help me figure this out?
The attached spreadsheet is obviously simplified, there are well over 30 tabs. But I would like it to, ideally, search the account number column, search the workbook for that account number, and then when on that page use the month at the top of the first page and retrieve the interest payment and put it back in the cell. It’d also be great if the formula can be transferred between workbooks. I’m not sure if that makes sense; basically if I were to copy that worksheet into the next months book, I would like that the formula read those tabs instead of becoming obsolete due to references from the first workbook.

View 5 Replies View RelatedI have a spreadsheet (Need Data.xls) that needs to be filled out with a couple columns of data.
This data lays within 338 spreadsheets which have many items and may only have 2, or 3, or 50 that belong on my Need Data.xls spreadsheet.
I have a tab in Need Data.xls named "DIR" which has a list of 336 excel files that need to vlookup'd into.(not a separate file) They're all setup with this format:
I'm going to be using a spreadsheet to keep track of where different people are at. So if Person 1 is in Room 3, I will stick a 3 in the box next to their name and then can look at the spreadsheet whenever I need and see what room they are in. When I'm deciding what room to put a person in, though, I need to be able to quickly glance at a list of Room #'s and see what one's are still available. So I have a bank of Room #'s in the spreadsheet....1,2,3, etc.
What I'd like, is some way to set this up so that when I put, for example, "3" in the cell next to "Person 1" the spreadsheet automatically removes "3" from the bank of available Room #'s and when I delete the "3" because the person has left, it adds "3" back to the bank of available Rooms.
I have a mass of data which look something like this:
table removed
and I require the ranges of reference numbers to be listed in a column one above the other, which requires inserting new rows. I also need the date & description columns copied down into the newly inserted rows.
So basically for example I would want the top row to now read:
table removed
and then apply the same procedure to the other ranges below this.
