VLOOKUP - If Table Array Is Blank Need It To Return Blank?
Mar 27, 2014
I am creating a tracking spreadsheet where i can toggle between months (attached). It returns data properly when I select January or February from the yellow highlighted dropdown list. However, when i choose March, it returns 1/0/1900 because no data has been entered for March (table array) on the AAAG tab. How do I write the formula to return a blank cell on the summary sheet when no information has been entered into the table array yet?
is there anyway to have a vlookup formula display a blank cell instead of #N/A if the value it was looking for is not found. For example the first spreadsheet contains the persons name say Bob, the 2nd spreadsheet that the vlookup formula is searching does not contain the name Bob right now excel shows #N/A but what I want it to show is a blank cell. I've tried conditional formating to just white out the text if #N/A appears but can't seem to get that to work.
I have a Vlookup, it returns a number, and when it doesn't find a match it returns N/A, and when it does return a match and the return value cell is blank, it returns 0. Is there any way I can have this so when it doesn't find a match, it returns a blank cell, and when it finds a match and there is no value in the return cell, it returns a blank cell as well, rather than 0?
If the value in T14 is in the lookup range, I get the expected value returned. If the value exceeds the vlaues in the lookup range (e.g. I enter "E"), I get the last value in the range (4). How do I get it to return a blank cell if the entry in T14 is not found?
I'm using this formula (thanks to dafan & HalfAce [url] =IF(VLOOKUP($A177,$A$736:$C$787,3,FALSE)=0,"",VLOOKUP($A177,$A$736:$I$787,3,FALSE)) to return the value located in the 3rd column of the range when the value in the 1st column of the range matches the data in A177.
However, there isn't a match for the data in A178 in the range, so the formula returns "#N/A". I would like the cell containing the formula to remain blank in those instances.
The below piece of code carries out a vlookup on a defined cells value and produces a result in sheet one, however if the column index number in sheet 2 (Database) is empty the result 00/01/1900 is produced.
I'm not sure how to say leave the result blank if the column index number is blank.
Assume you have a rectangular range. Say A1:M18. There are values in some random cells (any number of cells) within the range. The rest of cells are blank. In cell M19 (ie cell below the bottom right corner of the range), I need a excel function that returns the nearest (ie physical location) non blank cell value. I have searched the internet for weeks. The closest formula is the following (see below) but it is flawed as it returns zero if there are values in rows below the row of the nearest cell with non blank...and also zero if there is value in a column greater than the column of the nearest cell with non blank.
Closest formula so far: INDEX(A1:M18,LARGE(IF(ISBLANK(A1:M18),"",ROW(A1:M18)),1)-ROW(A1:M18)+1,LARGE(IF(ISBLANK(A1:M18),"",COLUMN(A1:M18)),1)-COLUMN(A1:M18)+1).
And the function should be relative not absolute as the range can be extended..but the location of the formula remain same relative to the array size. (ie. always at below the right bottom cell).
NOTE: Ignore the special case where two non blank cells are the nearest. That will not happen.
I'm looking for a formula to search for a value in the SECOND (instead of first) column of a table array and return a value in the same row from FIRST (instead of the same or another) column in the table array. Formula would be searching for the unique production order number in the column B and return production line id from the column A.
A1 production line_id B1 poduction_order_number
A2 L1 A3 L2 A4 L1
B2 505212 B3 504234 B4 505663
I was trying vlookup(504234;B2:A4;2;0) to make formula go search from right columns to the left but then excel is switching the search table to A2:B4 and gives #N/D! One remark-there is no possibility to switch these 2 columns to simplify. I have to leave them as they are.
in one column of my spreadsheet and it is returning the correct concatenation for the appropriate lines. However, I wish to have the column's cells return an answer of blank (" ") if B15, B16... etc is blank. In other words, at the moment, a correct answer would read something like '1810sd0000' C10 and B15 used, while an incorrect answer would still display '1810', but I want it to be a blank cell.
Hi, I desperately need help with a pivot-table and can't find anyone else who's ever had this problem...I have a very large healthcare data table which for simplicity I will describe as follows. In essence the first two columns respectively are (A) location and (B) month. Let's say the third column (C) is the number of cases of the disease kidpox treated in each health centre during that month. The fourth column (D) is the total number of cases of everything treated during that month in each clinic. The fifth column (E) is the proportion of cases of this disease over all consultations for each health centre and month, and the formula in E2 is .....
Using one spreadsheet with three date columns and two columns counting days.
If there is a value in Resolution date, then Column N is blank If there is no value in Submit date and Resolution date, then Column N is blank If there is no value in Resolution date, and there is a value in Submit date, subtract Submit date from todays date to show how many days it has been pending approval
Created on = J4 Submitted on = K4 Resolution Date = L4 Days to Approve = M4 I've got that formula =IF(L4="","",L4-K4) Days Pending Approval= N4 (cell with formula)
If Resoultion Date L4 has a value, return blank If Submit on K4 and Resoultion date L4 are blank, return blank If Resolution date L4 is blank, and Submit on K4 has a value, subtract Todays date from Submit on K4 to show Days Pending Approval

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$3,INDIRECT("ATTRIBUTION_FACTSET"&"!M"&U1&":P"&V1),2,FALSE) The idea being that U1 and V1 would be numbers that can change so in this case U1 would equal 60 and V1 would equal 73
This vlookup is giving me #N/A and no matter how I modify it I cannot get it to work.
How to get the one with value in an array that contain both blank and value in a cell?
I got a formula that's retrieving the type of an item that matches the number and name as shown:
The only problem is that some type might be blank.When Excel is returning the information, it would only show the first one in the array.How do I tell it only return the one with actual info?
Data sheet: Number Name Type
In this case it will return {" ", "B", "B", " "}.
But because the cell can only show one value, it will only show " " (blank) as the final return value.Is there anyway to tell it to return "B" as final value? Right now, what I did is to sort the Type column to show non-blank first.
Am currently working on a sheet (Attached), which is attempting to take data input in a sheet (PnL tab), and work them into manageable data on the Frontsheet, via the seperate F&O and Equities tabs.
Now, in the Equities section of the frontsheet, my array formula to pull through the data from the Equities sheet is bringing up an erroneous blank line, despite the forumal being told to ignore blanks.
As far as I can tell, this is referencing formulated tabs, and how to stop this from happening.
I read the my worksheet data into an array. I want to select only row that satisfy certain conditions. But I get blank rows for those that don't satisfy the conditions.
I have the following array formula that works. I am trying to modify it so that on cells where there is no data, the value which appears (#NUM) changes to a "Blank". I am stuck on how to do it.
The array formula is: =INDEX($C$2:$C$26,SMALL(IF($B$2:$B$26=$B$32,ROW($B$2:$B$26)-ROW($B$2)+1),ROWS($C$32:C32)))
I have spreadsheet that displays many blank cells. I would like all the information from this sheet (example below) displaying on another spreadsheet but without the blank cells.
On the example below I've shown how I want my sheet3 to look. (Cells B19:I22) The sheet where I want to remove the blanks is Sheet2 B2:AE367
Is this possible using array formulas or macro?

I want to select multiple rows in a very huge spreadsheet. But, when I use this code, I receive an error: Runtime error 1004, Method ' Range' of Object '_global' failed. What is wrong? Or maybe there is other better way to select automatically empty rows in a spreadsheet?

I have a formula that references another worksheet. Using the VLOOKUP function, it works great, except if the data on the other worksheet has a blank cell, it then returns a 0 (zero). Within the formula below, cell E10 is my "unique key" and is the only raw data within this spreadsheet. All other cells are strictly formulas. This formula I am using below works perfectly if there is complete data, but that is not always the case. =IF($E10="","",IF($E10="~ None ~","",VLOOKUP($E10,Projects!$F$3:$T$226,5,FALSE)))
Shortened for example; I have created a drop down list with gas, groceries and travel as the categories. column a is labeled expenses and formatted as currency. column b is labeled category with the drop down list in each cell.
column d contains each item, gas, groceries and travel on separate rows. column e will contain the total for each item in column d using "sumifs formula".
If there are no travel expenses, instead of returning $0.00 I want the cell to be blank. I know how to do this in a simple sum function but sumifs are sumthin else. I have tried using <> for not equal to and everything else I can think of and I usually get a VALUE error. how do I get it to be blank instead of $0.00???
I am using the "IF" formula to pull in data into a forms section. I then save the forms section as a CSV file.
When the IF statement returns the "false" value, it is looking to pull over a "blank" cell. When that happems, a "0" pulls over. I tried to put a "" in the blank cell, but while the output of the formulaa looks "Blank" when I convert the tab to CSV, the output is a quote mark ". I need the formula to display a real BLANK cell or something that acts like a blank cell
I finished mty project which shows how to return the value of the first non-blank cell in an array. That's great, but I now need to find the next value, and so on. In the example, I'd need to get "BBB" to come out of the formula.
My list has other blanks inserted throughout the array, so it would more closely resemble:
I'm trying to do several things. I have 6 columns (A:F) with column headers and 12 rows of data and not every cell has a number as its content. Some cells are blank. I have attached my file.
Using Row 2 as my example: 1.) I want to return the contents of the FIRST non-blank cell in the range (A2:F2) in cell I2. 2.) If I2 is not blank, then I want to return the column header (text) which corresponds to the resulting number content of cell I2. 3.) I want to return the contents of NEXT non-blank cell in A2:F2 in cell K2. 4.) If K2 is not blank, then return the column header (text) which corresponds to the resulting number of K2.
I will then repeat the 3rd & 4th scenarios in columns L thru S.
What I’m trying to do is place all non-blank data up in the first-foremost columns (H thru S) as I possibly can so I can use the data from these new columns (H thru S) as my merge fields in a Word document.
