Using Vlookup Or Similar Function To Find Missing Values Compared To Base Values
Apr 30, 2014
I am trying to find some missing values compared to 6 base values. For instance, I have a sheet with some names translated to another language, I am trying to find the languages some names have not been translated too.
For example, if I have six languages, Arabic, Japanese, Russian, Chinese-Simplified, Chinese- Traditional, and Korean to compare too, I want to find any names that are not translated in certain languages.
Sample:
John Japanese
John Chinese - Simplified
John Korean
Martin Arabic
Martin Chinese - Simplified
Martin Russian
Ramon Arabic
Ramon Russian
Sam Arabic
Sam Chinese- Traditional

I would like to sum the values of a range using something similar to vlookup. The problem with using vlookup is that vlookup returns only the first instance. I have multiple values therefore vlookup would not work. I have 2 variables which is causing my frustration. I have added an example to explain. On the column where it says "correct answer" is where the formula should go. I displayed what the formula should produce so that it explains what I want as the output. The "static column" which contains variables 1 and 2 doesn't change.
The two variables it needs to search for is shown in the variable 1 and variable 2 columns. And the lookup range is on the left.
So basically it needs to match the two variables in the range and then grab the sum of ALL quantities where the two variables match . quantity amount is found on the leftmost column.
Is this possible. sumif works but only with 1 variable.
LOOKUP RANGE
formula column
static column
static column
formula column
static column
static column
quantity
variable 1
variable 2
correct answer
variable 1
variable 2

I have x coordinates in column 1 with coresponding y coordinates in column 2. From my data of x,y coordinates I want to find points with similar y values. In my data I have defined groups of numbers, i.e. I have a set of numbers with y values around 30 (+-10), then a new group with y values around 60 (+-10), and so on... Sometimes the groups are not totaly separeted, there could be a few points with y values between 30 and 60. These points can be grouped with the closest group of coordinates (30 or 60). Each group of x,y coordinates could be copypasted in the columns to the right (columns 3 and up).
So what I want to do is find a group of coordinates. This group will have at least 40 individual points +-10 from a group mean. The coordinates need to be sorted out from the data and put in seperate columns.

I have two list of names, mostly duplicates. List in column B has about 30 more names than the list in Column A and I need to identify which names are in column B that are not in column A. Names are in exact same format since they were pulled from the same data base.

I have a list of products and would like to find what are the missing products which aren't ordered yet from the customer.
As the example: let's assume numbers from 1 to 9.
And I have some numbers, like this: 2, 4, 6, 7. What is the formula which can copy automatically the missing one into one cell?
See the attachment : howtodothis.xls
I know, how to copy multiple cell into one cell (like A4&", "&", "A5 etc), but how to find the missing numbers?

I am trying to pull cell values similar to a SUMIF function (SUMIF(range,criteria,sum_range)). For example, in A1 I use a data list created from data elsewhere on the spreadsheet. In the data I created elsewhere, there are 2 columns being used. The 1st column is the information that is being used to create the list and the second column contains specific values (number or text). In the dropdown menu I select an available value (text or number) . When I have selected that value I would like cell A2 to show what the cell directly to the right of it shows from the data I have elsewhere in the spreadsheet as mentioned. I have tried the SUMIF function however it seems to exclude certain values (number or text) and I am not sure what else to use.

I would like to find the value from Sheet2 Column1 in sheet1 Column1 and return value from Sheet1 Column2 and Column3 into Sheet2 Column2 and Column3
And if it doesn't find anything just return Not Found
The problem that a Vlookup is not working for me is because I want it to be the exact text from sheet2 column1 but in sheet1 column 1 it should not be exact as it might have some extra text as seen in the illustration above

This problem has come up fairly frequently lately, and I'm not sure how to fix it, or if this is by design...but in Excel 2003 I can't seem to do a "Find and Replace" based on the value of a cell. I can do a find, based on cell value, but the moment I change to the replace tab, the "values" and "comments" are missing from the "look in" dropdown.
I've only noticed this when I'm trying to replace on a filtered list, so I'm not sure if that is part of the issue.
Perhaps an alternative way of arriving at the same goal. Basically I have a worksheet with a number of filtered columns. They are filtered just right, using custom filtering, and so I do not want to undo the filters. In some columns I have formulas that are returning #VALUE! errors. I'd like to replace all of these cells with NA.

I am using the VLOOKUP function to get the exact corresponding value in one particular column. But I need to have two different value in two different columns. Here is an example.
I have attached the excel sheet as well.
Actually I do send the data to my different colleagues and they do send me back with the responses in two different column of D and E corresponding to the "ID" specified in column "B". Which I do need to MAP individually. But I want Excel to map the value of that "ID" (column B) to the corresponding responses in Column D and E with formula.
VLOOKUP generally gives corresponding value to either column D or E but i want both at a time to save time.

Column A includes a name
Column B includes an age
Column C states a division (this is the column that contains the Vlookup function)
Column G is where I have to put a range of ages (for instance, x=<0,>3)
Column H is where the division name is.
The idea behind this exercise is to use the Vlookup function in column C to reference column G, and return a value in column H. Here a copy of my formula in column C: =VLOOKUP(B3,$G$3:$H$12,2,TRUE). For instance, if Mike (A) is 16 (B) then he would be in the Midget division (C). C is calculated by comparing column B to G, then returning a value in column H. For some odd reason, I can't get column G to reference an age range, such as 1-5 years old.

Is it possible to use the worksheet function Vlookup on subtotal values? If so what is the formula? The problem that I am trying to solve is as follows. I have a sheet (1) listing part numbers that are not moving at a particular depot. On another sheet (2) there are details of sales relating to the non-moving part numbers at 6 other depots, I have added subtotals. Currently I am switching between worksheets to see if I can transfer stock. I would like to id on sheet 1 the total number of sales at other depots, then I can see what part numbers may be transferrable without a great deal of manual intervention.

I have run into serious trouble with a file I am working on. I have 12,000 companies (roughly), and each of them appears in an Excel file multiple times (some 1 time, other 18 times) with a few parameters. The big file (about 90,000 entries) is sorted so it looks like below:
I will illustrate for 2 companies:
Company A 0 200
Company A 0 0
Company B 300 400
Company B 0 50
I need for every company to do a countif for each column on condition
that the value is larger than 0.
In this case I would end up with:
Company A 0 200
Company A 0 0
Countif result 0 1
Company B 300 400
Company B 0 50
Countif result 1 2
However, I need to extend this to the whole 90,000 entries and 12,000 companies and this cannot be done manually. I thought about vlookup but that returns the first entry only, and I have multiple.

I have some value sorted numerically (according to ID column) but there are some missing values. In a new column (Desired value column), I would like to return the values (according to ID column) and add missing values (according to Order column) as zero.

This is probably easier than I'm making it on myself. I would like a formula that would find the value in D2 of the current sheet on a sheet named 6-19 in D:D, then take the value from L:L in that row and subtract it from L2 of the current sheet.

I have a column using Vlookup to find values that I want to SUM.
Some of the look up values produce a #N/A and result in a total sum of #N/A.
How do I get the SUM of a column of numbers when all of the cell values are not in fact numbers.

I have a very complicated vlookup problem, at least for me. What I want to do is to find values from different firms in different years, by just changing the name of the firm in the formula. This is probably difficult to understand, but please refer to the excel sheet added.

I need to to highlight keywords within a block of text (string). I don't need to necessarily return a value with the VLOOKUP. I just need to compare keyword list in Column B to the Text in Cell A1. If the word from the list appears in the text, I need it to be highlighted for every instance.
EXAMPLE
Text String (A1)
Welcome to Jake's Car Accessories website. We have all of your car accessory needs including car covers, truck covers, custom car grills and other car accessories.
Keyword List (Column B)
car accessory
car covers
truck covers
car accessories
I think VLOOKUP only works on lists.

I want to find sum of all 4 returned values (Sales!BL5, Sales!BM5, Grants!X5, Deferred Pymts!X5
Column References:
Cell AD2 (AMOUNT TOTAL PYMTS)
Cell AC2 (TOTAL NO. OF ORDERS)
Cell Range B5:B4833 on multiple pages (CUSTOMER NAME)
Cell Range AJ5:AJ4833 on multiple pages (CUSTOMER NAME)
Formula:
In Cell AD2 of CustomerData! Sheet:
If AC2 is not blank, then
look for match between A2 and Sales!B5:B4833, return the value in Sales!BL5, and
look for match between A2 and Sales!AJ5:AJ4833, return the value in Sales!BM5, and
look for match between A2 and Grants!B5:B4833, return the value Grants!X5, and
look for match between A2 and Deferred Pymts!B5:B4833, return the value Deferred Pymts!X5
Hope this does not confuse, but if John Doe is listed in AC2 I want to find the sum of his total payments if his name is listed as a customer in Sheets Sales, Grants, and Deferred Pymts. The Sales! sheet is divided into AM and PM pricing which explains why Sales! has Column B and Column AJ for Customer Names.

I would like to copy values corresponding to a unique identifier from one sheet to another, using the vlookup function. The problem is that after a certain cell the values are given as N/A even though they are present in the sheet I want to copy them from.

I've been using a Index and Match Functions to locate values,
What I'm trying to do is as follows:
Column A contains x values and Column B contains another value
A length is entered at the top of the worksheet, when the x value is greater than half the length the values will be mirrored about the centre point.
To do this i'm doing x-(length/2) to give the corresponding value of x on the other side of the length
I can do the If functions etc to sort all this out, but the match function isnt working, see attached, it isn't finding values which are in the list, when i use 0 for exact match, i've tried using 1 but it still isn't finding the correct values.

I'm trying to create a formula that would check if there are similar values in a row. How should I do this? There are 20 values in a row, and they should all be different (true). If similar values are found, it should give a warning or highlight the two or more cells.

I've search several posts and can't figure this out. Have sheet1 with facility number (A) and Description (B), monthly budgets (C-N) and yearly total at O. Each facility has 400+ GL so the only formula that has come close to working is this one: =INDEX('sheet1'!$O$1:$O$7695,MATCH(1,('sheet1'!$A$1:$A$7695=$D8)*('sheet1'!$B$1:$B$7695=G$5),0))
Basically "O" is the yearly number I want, "A" is the facility number and "B" is the Description (which is text). After searching several posts this one returned a result on the first facility, but returned NA on the rest. Also tried CONCENATE function with A&B in sheet1 which are equal to D10&G5 in sheet2. It returned the wrong information, I was looking for "1506Net Sales" and it returned for "1506Net Income".

two formulas for one data set. The data is attached in the spreadsheet: "Product IDs". The data is a set of Master Product IDs (parent) and the Linked to them Products (children). I need to create a relationship between unique parents (Master Product IDs) and their children (Linked Products)
I need to create two formulas:
1. From the Data Set table, need to vlookup the unique value in column A (Master Product ID) and return comma delimited (concatenated) corresponding values from column B (Linked Products). So, the result will be as shown in Table 2.
2. From the Data Set table, need to vlookup the unique (de-duplicated) parent/children relationship in column A (Master Product ID) and return comma delimited (concatenated) corresponding values from column B (Linked Products). There are total 3 parent/children relationships in Table 1. So, the result will be as shown in Table 3.

I am facing a problem importing Excel data into a finicky graphics program. This program can't accept strings and numbers in the same column. Hence, strings such as #NA, or Excel's standard "" can't be used where there are missing values, as the entire column is then ignored.
But, I would like to provision for future data below the rows that currently exist.
Let's say I am trying to read data from Sheet1 of a workbook. The rows in Sheet1 contain formulas referencing other sheets (e.g. Sheet2!C1-Sheet2!C2). So, if Sheet2 doesn't have data in a certain row, Excel would show 0 in the formula on Sheet1. That would mess up my graph. If I use any other string or "" using a If statement for missing data, then the graphics program doesn't work.
Is there any way say, using dynamic ranges or similar, to populate blank cells in Sheet1 as data arrive in Sheet2, without a pre-existing formula being present in these Sheet1 cells? I can imagine that VBA macros will easily do this (e.g. the thread on Autofill below). But, is this possible without having to trigger a macro as and when additional data arrive?

I have a Macro 'Timenow' to give current time in a Cell of MS Excel, but then it changes all Cell values of sheet where the macro was used.
Sub Timenow()
'
' Timenow Macro
' Keyboard Shortcut: Ctrl+b
ActiveCell.FormulaR1C1 = "=NOW()"
Selection.NumberFormat = "h:mm"
Range("F5").Select
End Sub
Even assigning value to variable does not work:
Sub Timenow()
' Timenow Macro
' Keyboard Shortcut: Ctrl+b
Dim TN As String
TN = Format("=now()", "h:mm")
ActiveCell.Value = TN
End Sub
how to restrict the macro to change the value of current/active cell only without effecting other cell values?

I have a list of records that for which I cannot find values for. Essentially I have a dataset that I need to match to other information but for some records this 'other information' is missing.
1. I have a list of records with missing information
2. I have a folder with a large amount of sub-directories
3. I have many DBF files inside of these sub-directories with X columns and x rows
4. Somewhere within some row of some column is a value that links to my list of records
5. I need to search for my value in, say, A2 and return the file name and directory in which it lies
6. It can be text or number
is this clear?
