Using Excel 2003 SP2. The formula =vlookup("apple",table,2,false) would return the data in the second column of the array named "table" for the FIRST INSTANCE it comes across for the word "apple." Is there a formula to have it return data for the LAST INSTANCE? This is one where I say to myself "Self, there has got to be a way to do this," but I just can't figure out what it might be.
View 4 RepliesColumn A contains numbers that repeat themselves. in column B codes are assigned to each number. numbers in column A may have multiple codes in column B. but are unique for each instance the same number may appear in column A.
what i'm trying to do is.
have the numbers in column A show only once and then have the codes for the corresponding codes appear each in seperate columns rather than all in one.
I have data on two separate tabs. Data in columns A of both tabs potentially match. I am trying to identify and pull the value in column C of the second tab where the values in columns A match and the first instance where the value in column B on the second tab is less than the value in column B of the first tab. The values in both columns B are dates.
column A first tab = column A second tab
column B first tab < column B second tab (first instance of less than)
pull value from column C on second tab to appropriate row of column C on first tab.
I need a formula in Column E to find the results for Column E or subtract A2 from C3, C3 from D3, A4 from C3, B5 from D5 and A6 from D6 .
table.tableizer-table {
border: 1px solid #CCC; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif
font-size: 12px;
}
.tableizer-table td {
padding: 4px;
margin: 3px;
border: 1px solid #ccc;
[Code]....
I have the following
Private Sub test2()
Dim c As Range, t As Long
With Worksheets(3)
.Unprotect
Set c = Range("AO10", cells(Rows.Count, "AO").End(xlUp))
t = Application.WorksheetFunction.Max((Application.WorksheetFunction. CountIf(c, ">=.01") * 2), 0)
Sheets("Template").Range("D3").value = t
'Range("D3") = t
End With
End Sub
The code is suppose to get the value of >= 1 percent from AO10 then go down the column until it finds the second instance and then add that number to the tile.
Thanks for any help in advance.
Have a great Friday all! : D

I am trying to create a formula that will search a row left to right for the first instance of zero and return the corresponding column label. I had this working for a smaller table using a couple of hidden columns with nested ifs however the new data set is approximately 25 columns wide and it will get very messy using the same approach. See attached sample with desired results.
View 2 Replies View RelatedI need a simple formula which does the following: I have a column of numbers, and I want to find the first instance which is equal or greater than a specific number. For example,
Column A
23
41
67
89
51
21
If the specific value is 55 the formula needs to return: 67
if the specific value is 10 the formula needs to return: 23

View 4 Replies View Relatedhow to close the instance of excel created by my VBS script.
I run the script to open a workbook run a macro within the workbook and save it. I'd like to also close the workbook and the instance of excel.
If I close the workbook within the end of my macro I get an unknown run time error from my script. If I elect to just save the file and close it within the end of script, the workbook closes but the instance of EXCEL.EXE is still running in task manager.
This is an export from a shopping cart. Each row is an individual SKU that was ordered. So if John Doe orders 4 items on the same order, I've got 4 rows with most of the data being the same. I want to sum my "Grand Total" column, but only take one instance when the Order-ID is repeated.
Now the sample data: ...
I have a list of text cells in column A, the list is a dynamic one that changes depending on the property selected in a cell of another sheet.
Example data... Column A is Block Name, Column B is Room Number.
---------A----------------B-------
1--Main Building-------001
2--Block A--------------001
3--Block A--------------002
4--Main Building-------002
5--Block B--------------001
6--Block A--------------003
7--Main Building-------002a
8--BSS House----------BSS
9--Main Building-------003
What I need is for a formula that lists one example of each instance included in Column A.
As per the example data above, the expected results when dragging down from C1 through to C9 would be:
---------A----------------B--------------C--------
1--Main Building-------001-------Main Building
2--Block A--------------001-------Block A
3--Block A--------------002-------Block B
4--Main Building-------002-------BSS House
5--Block B--------------001-------
6--Block A--------------003-------
7--Main Building-------002a-------
8--BSS House----------BSS-------
9--Main Building-------003-------
I know I could use a pivot table to do this but as I need this to be dynamic, and also to be used with Excel on an iPad Air, I can't as it doesn't support pivot tables or VB to automatically refresh it.
I want to find top 2 performer in cell A17 & A17 in my attached sheet. Column B2:B13 changes everyday, so the name of performer changes accordingly. But today my top 2 performers achieved same but my formula is giving the same name.
Is there anyway to find out the other name i.e Ahmmed Shawkat Hossain here instead of Khan Md. Abdul alim again?

Im having trouble switching between windows that are open in separate instances of excel.
I used to be able to switch easily between these workbooks when they were both being being run in the same instance of excel.
But since having to change it so the workbooks are opened in seperate instances, i cannot get it to work, the code just fails when it trys to activate the first window.
I currently have the below code:
Code:
Sub CloseAndSave()
Application.EnableEvents = True
'//Activate InfoHub workbook and put a tick in the checkbox.
Workbooks("403 InfoHub.xls").Activate
Sheets("HOME PAGE").ToggleButton1.Value = True
[Code]..
Is there anyway to do this?
I am in the process of designing an inventory like spreadsheet with prices.

Is this possible?
View 9 Replies View RelatedI need a Macro that will find every instance of 0 within a workbook and then replace that value with an average of the values in the two cells above it and the two cells below it?
I am working on an application for a monthly sports tournament that I run. There are three workbooks to this application: the Administration workbook, the Bracket workbook, and the Leaderboard workbook. I currently have a dual monitor setup (extended, not clone) with my laptop in front of me and a large TV on the wall for the players to see.
In order for the players to see the bracket and the leaderboard, I open excel, then I open the Bracket.xlsm workbook, then the Leaderboard.xlsm workbook, and I drag those to the TV. I then open another instance of excel on my laptop, and open the Administration workbook. This stays on my laptop and the players cannot see it.
Here's what I want it to do:
In less words, the administration workbook controls the other two workbooks. Every time a player reports a win/loss, I enter that into the Administration workbook, and that needs to update both the bracket and the leaderboard, so the players can see it on the TV. So, basically, all the data is in the administration workbook, and the other two serve as displays for that data in a format the players can understand.
Here's my problem:
When I run a macro that is supposed to update the other two workbooks, I get an error: "Runtime Error '9': Subscript out of range." I believe this is because of the seperate instances of Excel. Since Bracket and Leaderboard are in a different instance than Administration, it can't 'see' those other two workbooks. Below is the part of the code that deals with these three workbooks: ....
I have a very very long weekly table of, say, sales regions, items sold, revenue, profitability, etc.
(Very long here means 120,000 rows, and in Excel 2007 - please don't hold this against me! )
Let's assume Row 1 and Column A are for headers. So Column B is Sales Region and Column C is Item Name. The first Sales Region, beginning in B2, let's call it "America", will repeat (B3, B4....) until the Item Names are done for that region. Then the next Region starts, "Australia", and the list of Items starts again, etc.
Not all the Items will be sold in every Region each week, and even some Regions may disappear from the table one week only to reappear a few weeks down the road. The table is Sorted alphabetically, though, first by Region, then by Item.
One way to VLOOKUP week over week information from last week's report onto this week's report is to concatenate both weeks' Region and Item information (=B2&C2) seperately, and VLOOKUP by that. This returns only combinations of Region/Item that occured in the current week, and with ISERROR, 0 for combinations that occured this week, but not last week. As far as what it returns, this is fine for our purposes but with several pieces of information to VLOOKUP (#, revenue, profit, etc.) and 120,000 rows, it takes forever. Literally over an hour to copy down the week over week parts.
I had the idea that maybe it would be faster if I could define individual VLOOKUP ranges for each Region, and then look up Item within that range. These ranges would vary in placement in the table and in numbers of rows each week, as the number of Items sold in each Region waxes and wanes, hence "dynamic ranges" - I hope I've used that term correctly.
Is there an effective, efficient way to return the row numbers of the first and last instances of a given Region, and use that range for the Item VLOOKUP?
I need to highlight all the duplicate IP-addresses in my sheet except the first one.
What I did:
I chose the range (F column) -> Conditional formatting -> Highlight cell rules -> Duplicate Values. It highlighted all the duplicate values so i googled how to highlight the duplicate values except the first one so I came across a formula =COUNTIF($F$2:$F2, F2)>1
So I added the formula and now it does not highlight the first duplicate but only the second and not the third and fourth and so on.
What am I doing wrong?
Edit: I have sorted them in order and in one IP-address I have 6 duplicates but it highlights only the last one when I want it to highlight all of them except the first one.
I'm trying to convert variable length strings which are being copied from a display and loaded into an array.
I have it working fine for the majority of the data, which comes in looking like "*ABC@US" or "*AABC@US"
However, some of the data looks a bit different, particularly lacking the @ symbol. So what I end up with is
"*ABC US*ABC US*ABC US"
What I need to get to is just "ABC US" FYI the US part can be 1-5 characters.
SO... I need a way to truncate anything after the second instance of the asterisk. Haven't been able to get it to work using various trim, mid, len, left, right, etc functions.
In the last couple of weeks my copy of Excel 2010 has started acting strange. Now when I double click an xls or xlsx file in Windows Explorer, it tries to open a new instance of Excel, whic means that it tries to reopen Personal.xlsm and Personal.xlsb, and finds they are already open, so it gives me an error message. Previously it perfectly happily opened the document in another window in the same instance, which is presumably much more memory efficient quite apart from the file locking problem mentioned. How do I get it back to the way it was before? Is this another of MS's famous overnight downgrades?
View 2 Replies View Related-I've been trying to get an answer to this problem for some time and I would like to try again from a different approach.
I may have 5 workbooks open in 5 different Instances of Excel. The number of files open varies. When the below Function is called, it checks to see if the file, trying to be opened, is already open or not.
Currently, if the file is already open, a mesage is displayed stating that it is open and the user has to search through tabs looking for the file so that it can be displayed.
What I want to do in place of a message, is activate the file that is already open and display it. No message necessary.
I have tried "Application.Activate" and can not make it work.
I have a spreadsheet which I am trying to put in a macro to add a new page (below the current page in the same worksheet) so that users who are unfamilair with Excel can simply do this.
I have got the macro to copy the cells I want and can get it to paste but the issue is I don't always want it to paste in the same place. The current document is 1 page long but it may need to be up to 10 pages long. I am trying to get it to find the last instance of the word "COMMENTS" and then paste the copied info 3 rows below that.
I want to use VBA code so that if cells within a column for instance, column I, is selected it warns the user 'Check you have used the correct column'.

I am running Excel 2010. I have two separate instances of Excel running. I select data and copy it, and then paste it into the other excel spreadsheet in a separate instance. The clipboard data DOES NOT paste the desired data, instead it pastes the item most recently copied in the separate Excel instance that I am trying to paste into. It's as if the excel instance has it's own clipboard, and is unable to use the same clipboard the other Excel instance is using. Copy and paste functions / clipboard seems to working perfectly outside of the Excel program.
