Jan 16, 2014

I have a table (A1:C5)

A1:C1 contain the table headers
A2:C5 contain the data
A6 contains the value I want to search for I use this formula to return the column header of A6 A6=INDEX(A1:C1,SUMPRODUCT((A2:C5=A6)*COLUMN(A2:C5))) Now, if there are duplicate values in A2:C5, this will return more than one column header What I need is a vba code to view a msgbox with all column headers returned in this case

Lookup On Column And Row Header

Feb 9, 2010

I need a formula to lookup and retrieve data from a table of values. Given an EMP-ID in column A of the row that contains the formula and given a column name in row 1 of the column that contains the formula, I need to do a lookup. So, in effect, I am doing a lookup based on two values .. the column header and the row header.

I have attached a small model to illustrate what I need. Cell C-3 in the first worksheet will contain the formula to lookup and retrieve the value in cell C-7 in the second worksheet, based on the values in cell C-1 (column header = “Database Col 2”) and in cell A-3 (row header = “257”) in the first worksheet.

Dynamic Lookup Based On Column Header

Jun 21, 2013

I'm trying to calculate a figure in a report tab that reads off the data tab and looks for a specific column based on the header of that column. My explanation is admittedly poor but I've attached a sample file with an outline of what I'm trying to do which I hope makes things clearer.

Lookup Column Header Based On Cell Value

Aug 11, 2009

I have a spreadsheet an excerpt of which is as follows:

K L M N
1 Doors Security Vehicle Key
2 TRUE FALSE FALSE FALSE
3 FALSE TRUE TRUE FALSE
4 FALSE FALSE FALSE FALSE

Want I want to happen is to return the column header where there for a cell which contains "TRUE" in a blank column. If there isn't a cell with the value "TRUE" then to return "N/A". In the above example in blank column P for Row 2 would be "Doors", Row 3 would be "Security,Vehicle" and Row 4 would be "N/A".

In my actual spreadsheet I have 12 columns (L to W) which have the TRUE or FALSE values.

I know it has something to do with either HLOOKUP, INDEX and MATCH but can't seem to get it right. Any ideas?

Lookup Row & Column Heading To Return Corresponding Header

Nov 18, 2008

I have a list of names and the chores they need to do on a certain day. I need a formula that returns the chore the person needs to do when the date is filled in.

Ex: Sheet2 Col:A has names filled in A2:11 , row B1:J1 has dates that you would input.
formula goes in B2:J11
Sheet1 is the master with all the data the formula would be pulling from.
column A2:A11 has the names , row B1:S1 has the chore that needs to be done.
B2:S11 has the dates already filled in.

Lookup Column Header Value Based On Matching Table Value

May 16, 2013

I'd like a formula that'll return the column header by matching a lookup value with a table in the second sheet.

eg: sheet 1

Name
Cell
Region

John
111-2222

[Code] .......

The formula should match the name in A2, John, with value from the table in sheet 2 and return the correct region, this case North.

Perform A Two Column Lookup That Returns A Value From Another Column?

Feb 1, 2010

I have a table with 3 columns. See below for data (ignore dashes):

COLUMN X-----COLUMN Y-----COLUMN Z
Project 1---------21 Dec 09---------$70
Project 2---------21 Dec 09---------$85
Project 3---------21 Dec 09---------$90
Project 1---------1 Jan 10-----------$85
Project 2---------1 Jan 10-----------$95
Project 3---------1 Jan 10-----------$110

As you can see, COLUMN X contains Project Names, COLUMN Y contains Dates and COLUMN Z contains Monetary Value.

Here is what I need to do: I need a formula/function that will lookup "Project 1" in COLUMN X and find the latest corresponding Date in COLUMN Y (for this example, 1 Jan 10) for Project 1 and then display the corresponding Monetary Value from COLUMN Z (for this example, $85).

I have tried using VLOOKUP, but since the data must be sorted it won't work. I tried using INDEX(MATCH), but can't get it to work. My goal is that the cell will be dynamically updated every time a user inputs updated data for a certain project based on the latest date.

so for example

Header row

Jan Feb Mar Apr May Jun Jul Aug

Data

0 3 0 0 8 0 0 0

the formula would return May in this example as 8 is the las positive value and the column header for that column is 8. There are no blank cells in the data.

Return Column Header If Row Header And Value Is Known

Nov 18, 2011

I've been trying find an appropriate formula to extract the column header from a table in a different sheet if the row header and value in that table is known.

Lookup Function Returns #N/A Or #REF

Apr 23, 2007

Im trying to do a lookup but when I drag the formula down it returns the wrong values and also returns #N/A or #REF (which I think means it's refering to a wrong range and cant find the data???). How can I do a look up function by dragging the formula down a long column of data eg. 65,000 rows in excel, that returns the correct text. I have attached a simple example- see attached.

Vlookup Returns #N/A When Lookup Value Is Not Found

Oct 29, 2008

This formula works perfectly except when worksheet 2 has a code that is not on worksheet 1, then I get the error #N/A. I understand why I get the error, but not how to fix it. Obviously some sort of nesting - but what and how?

What I want on worksheet 2, column I - if there is a code on worksheet 2 but not on worksheet 1 - a return of "N/A"...

Lookup That Returns Multiple Values

Jun 9, 2009

I'm trying to do the next level of a v-lookup. I have a group of data with a text "flag" on certain rows. On my summary worksheet, I'm trying to do a lookup or a nested index function retrun all of the values with the text flag next to it.

I've been playing around with nested formulas and this is where I'm stuck. Here's what I came up with:

=INDEX($D$1:$E$9,(SMALL(IF($D$1:$D$9=$A$1,ROW($D$1:$D$9),ROW(1:1)),ROW(1:1))),2)

This only works for one row and not for the other rows. Maybe I'm going down the wrong path?

Display Message When Lookup Returns #N/A

Nov 21, 2007

I'm trying to generate a message box when a lookup cell returns the #N/A error value.

The lookup formula (=VLOOKUP(O8,Prod_Lookup,6,FALSE)) is in a "helper column" and returns a value of 0 if there is no entry in the lookup source sheet, but returns a value of #N/A if a non-matching date is entered in the active worksheet.

I have the following, but need some help in getting it work correctly. At present, it doesn't trigger the message box to pop up.

Private Sub Worksheet_SelectionChange(ByVal Target As Range)

Dim Prod_Val As Range
Dim note1 As String

Set Prod_Val = Worksheets("C_Data").Range("P8:P7000")

note1 = "Brazer PPM cannot be calculated because the Daily Production Count" & vbLf & _
"has not been entered for this date." & vbLf & vbLf & _
"The Daily Production Count must be entered prior to entering the daily leak data." & vbLf & vbLf & _
"Upon clicking the OK button you will taken to the Production Count sheet to enter the data."

Multiple Criteria Lookup Returns Name

Jan 12, 2008

I'm getting cross-eyed from trying to find the source of the error and not having any success. I've successfully used this approach many times, but for some reason I'm getting an error I can't pin down.

The problem: INDEX-MATCH lookup formula returns # NAME error. Formula: =INDEX(Data,MATCH(H8,Date,0),MATCH($I$7,Line,0),MATCH("FPY",Hdngs,0)). I've done my best to verify the named ranges and cell references are correct and have stepped through the help file on the "potential source of the error", including going to Tools >Options and making sure "Accept Labels in Formulas" is checked, as well as having read a number of other posts.

Lookup Beginning Of Word And Returns The Value Of A Cell I Choose

Mar 3, 2009

I'm trying to create a lookup formula where it matches the beginning of words and returns the value of a cell I choose. This is my layout. In Workbook1 in column E I have a list of medicine names which i'm putting in from personal medical lists. These names are not "complete", i.e. they aren't the exact names of the medicines. In workbook 2, I have a sheet with the exact names and corresponding codes of the medicines. I want to return the code of the medicine. The beginning of the names of the medicines are the same, so I want to lookup the the X first letters of the medicines I write in manually (Workbook1 column E) and find it in Workbook 2 column B and return value of Workbook2 column A for that medicine (on the same row).

Lookup Referencing Closed File Returns Value Error

Aug 13, 2008

I have a file created in Excel 2003 that uses a vlookup to reference another file, also created in Excel 2003. The function returns VALUE when the referenced file is closed. I get the VALUE error whether or not I update links upon opening the file. If I open the source file, the function calculates properly.

Here is the formula when the referenced file is open:

=VLOOKUP(A38,'[June Scorecard confirmation.xls]VPSC Summary'!$C$10:$F$22,4,FALSE)

The full & correct path appears in the formula when the referenced file is closed.

Columns C, D & E in the referenced range contain text, column F contains a Sum. This file is linked to another file, also using lookups. The linked area in this file works without problem, but it is a precedent to the calculation in column F.

Both these files reside on a network in subdirectories of the same logical drive. I am using a laptop that briefly had Excel 2007 installed on it, but was wiped clean before it was issued to me.

Left Lookup In A Range Instead Of A Column

Aug 24, 2009

Here is my spreadsheet

A B C D 1 Matt 5 4 75 2 Joe 25 23 66 3 Ron 31 33 82 4 Jim 22 45 91 5 Steve 99 100 11
I used the large function to find the top 5 greatest numbers. I have them ranked in another area below the first set of numbers.

100
99
91
82
75

I need to find some sort of formula to return the name for the appropriate number. For example, I need the cell immediately to the right of 100 to return Steve; 99 to say Steve; 91 to say Jim. The INDEX/MATCH formulas used for left lookups works only for a column. I would have to set the index/match formula individually for each column to the right of the top 5 numbers, and that defeats the purpose. I might as well just find the numbers and connect the names all by hand.
