VLOOKUP & Lists (range Called List That Has 3 Columns Of Data)
May 20, 2009
I have a range called List that has 3 columns of data:
Corporate Human Resources Services PMA
Corporate Procurement Director
Ops Central Customer Services Lost Property Office
Ops Travel Information Travel Info Call Ctr
Ops Travel Information Centres Travel Info Centres
I have 3 columns on the entry sheet called Business Unit (Col A), Department(Col B) and Sub-Department (Col C). I want to limit the choice in column B to based on the selection in Column A in the form of a drop-down list e.g choosing Corporate gives a list of Human Resources Services; Procurement.
I am using the list option for field validation and the following formula in cell B2: =INDIRECT(VLOOKUP(A2,List,2,0)). I'm not sure what I'm doing wrong as I don't get a list of options just a blank cell. Do I need to use a different formula other than VLOOKUP..?

I need to consolidate these two lists of data into one list.
First set is just a basic list of individuals with their data.
Second set is multiple entries for those same individuals. Each entry shows a subscription to a programme. The final single sheet should have one row per individual which shows all of the programmes they are subscribed to.
See attached, example sheet.
The real list is 3000 IDs, so need some kind of formula to do this.

I have a question regarding the data validation lists. What i have is 4 different lists
Department
Assays
Instrument
Manufacturer
What I want to do is...once a user chooses a department, he gets a list of assays done in the chosen dept. and also a list of instrument used by the dept and a list of manufacturers
I used the examples shown here
http://www.contextures.com/xlDataVal13.html
http://www.contextures.com/xlDataVal02.html
and was able to succeed in creating dependent lists to some extent...I am attaching whatever I have able to accomplish so far, which is able to pull up the assay list based on the dept. ...but am confused as to how to get the Instrument and Manufacturer list at the same time .....please choose 'Chem 2" from the dept list to see what I have managed to do so far

I have on a sheet:
4 data validation lists that contain the exact same values.
would like to have:
One validation list box that is dependant on all 4 vd lists.
I posted a thread on dv and came to the conclusion that it is not possible to use INDIRECT() as it only allows for one cell reference and not four.
Is there another way to do this?
Glove Man, I tried your suggestion but couldn't get it work.

I have a list of data that is currently separated into 5 different columns with a heading. Each item in the list is given a score 1, 2, 3, 4 or N, which is then placed into the appropriate column for that score.
What I want to do is to place the data in another sheet in the same workbook in a single column list separated by the labels from the columns in the first sheet, without any blank rows.
I am sure it would be easier if I could show you the spreadsheet and the result I want to achieve but I cannot see here how I can. I tried to copy and paste, but it only pasted as text.

Is there a simple way via VBA to alter the layout of data from a mixed up two column list into multiple headed lists on another worksheet (within the same workbook)?
The attachment should better demonstrate what I mean. Sheet1 has example data of how it is and Sheet2 shows how I would like it.
The data will be dynamic in the sense the numbers of unique values in column A will change (only increase, never decrease), as will the number of unique values in column B.

if there was a way to automatically add each student to a class list as their information is inputted. What i mean is, after input Sally Student in the main enrollment list she would automatically go to the class list for the class she has chosen.
I have attached a sample workbook with my desired results. Basically what i want to do is make this easier for those in charge to get the class lists from the main list without having to copy and past all the time.
The class lists are in the tabs in the workbook.

My Table has a data validation list in one row of a table. And different formulas in different rows.
The Table is expanded only into columns. Which means, there will be no new rows...only columns will be added.
If we enter text into the header cell in a new column, the whole new column gets formatted, but the list and formulas do not auto fill into new columns.
Of course an easy way is to copy and paste a column...but is there a way to auto fill lists and formulas into columns of the table? Similar to how the rows get autofilled?

I have data that resembles (I have also attached an example workbook as well if that is easier)
Column A.................Column B................Column C..................Column D.............Column E................Column F
Year.......................Quarter...................Month..................Product-Code...........[data A]................[data B]
2013.........................Q1.........................Jan........................SD-21...................13%......................0.05%
2013.........................Q2..........................Apr........................NV-12...................7%.......................6%
etc
I am hoping to have, on another sheet, a series of dependent drop boxes- Year, Quarter, Month, SKU- which after selecting then displays 'dataA' & 'dataB'.
So you could select- List 1: 2013 ----> List 2: Q1 ----> List 3: Jan ----> SD-21.................and then 13% and 0.05% are displayed.
The data will be continuously added to and so needs to be based on a dynamic data range.
I know that a pivot table is the perfect way to do this, however my bosses have requested that I do not use that format so it is easy for all staff to access.
So I think I need to construct some sort of dashboard sheet, I have experimented with OFFSET from other posts, but so far have had no joy.

I need to make a VLOOKUP in a sheet which I do not own or control the layout of. Therefore I cannot add any columns in the source to assist me in my lookup.
My VLOOKUP needs to look at two values/columns since the value in one column is not a unique identifier. This is easy in the value I want to lookup but not so easy in the lookup range in the source sheet. Ideally I would like to write my formula something like this:
=VLOOKUP(A2&B2;CONCATENATE('[OtherWorkbook.xlsx]Sheet1'!$M$2:$M$9;'[OtherWorkbook.xlsx]Sheet1'!$N$2:$N$9);2;FALSE)

I wanted to lookup value A5, and return all columns in the range A1:D5, I could use the formula =vlookup(A5,$A$1:$D$5,2,false) and copy this formula 3 times changing the third parameter 2, to 3 , 4 and 5. i.e 4 VLOOKUP formulas.
I could, instead, convert the VLOOKUP into an array and enter it CSE i.e =vlookup(A5,$A$1:$D$5,{2,3,4,5},false). This returns the right answer but "appears" to have only used 1 VLOOKUP.
What if this was extended to say 26 columns so instead of "hard coding" the array constants I used =vlookup(A5,$A$1:$D$5,COLUMN(B:AA),false). Is this better than 26 indivisual VLOOKUP's in term of speed?

I'm creating a spreadsheet to keep track of my costs of production in an online game. Within the game there are a range of spawned resources that appear for only a short time before being unobtainable these resources have specific types that is shared between multiple spawns of the resource but each resource spawn has a unique name.
My first worksheet lists all the resources and their various qualities and the later worksheets are meant to allow me to choose from a list resources matching the requirements of the item I'm looking to craft. The example i have shown in the second picture requires Tatooinian Fiberplast and Lokian Wild Wheat to craft so in the Chosen Resource column I would like to have a drop down list allowing me to select the named resource type i would like to use - for Tatooinian Fiberplast the only thing on the list should be Omnitwixi and for the Wild Wheat it should show Fizi and Krad

I have a workbook that has worksheeets for every day of the month. The data in the worksheet consists of columns (employee #, name, clock in/out times, and break penalty).
What I am trying to do is create another worksheet that searches all the other worksheets for a "yes" in the "break penalty" column and then create a list of all the employees that received a break penalty for the entire month. I would like this to be able to auto populate throughout the month as data is entered and not have to use a filter every time I want to compile this list.

I need to run a vlookup to find some data. But I have a lot of data about 600,000 lines. Currently this list is spread over several columns (as the limit is something like 50000). How can I make my reference range access multiple columns?

All I am doing is setting up a Data Validation list of say 10 items then in another cell I am trying to use VLookup to pull the corresponding information required for the data selected in the list selection cell but I keep getting "N/A"?
Am I right in thinking that you can't VLookup from a Data Validation list? If not how do I get round this?

I am trying to create a data wall without using filters and manual drag drop
I have a sheet with 1000 sets of data such as below in 2 columns Name and Score
Name score
Fred 101
Barney 104
Wilma 110
Betty 94
Dino 96
Pebbles 112
Bam Bam 120
What I would like to do is sort the data into another worksheet with score as rows in a range and an automated way to list the names under the columns as names such as below (each range is a different) (not displaying correctly below bu names are stacked under the score ranges they correlate to)
95 - 99 100 - 104 105-109 110-114 115-119 120
Betty Fred Wilma Bam Bam
Dino Barney Pebbles
Is there an easy way to do this using formulae or other? Tried pivot table and it got a bit messy with the only way of doing it being names and data as columns with multiple repeated data.

I'm having difficulties using vlookup to compare two columns of TEXT data. My goal is find out how many of items in the "Eligible Serial Numbers" list have been ordered for destruction. The items listed for destruction are listed in the "Serial Numbers (destroyed).
Whenever I put in a VLOOKUP, I get a serial number that doesn't make sense to me. For example, if I want to find out if "362351581" from the Eligible List appears on the destroyed list. What do you suggest?
Code:
Destroyed? (i.e. Vlookup formula in this column)
Eligible Serial Numbers
Serial Numbers (destroyed)
362351581
362351581

I essentially want a worksheet level function equivalent to the following VBA function. When I try to use this function and copy it down 155,000 rows it takes far too long.
The function should check a second worksheet for both Prod Code and Client Number and where it finds both it should return the price of that product code specific to the client.
Function ClientPrice(x, y)
'x = Prod Code
'y = Client Number

I have one column dedicated for the drop down list defined as 'Service_Level'. My second Columns is defined as 'Starter 1' which contains options that are included w/ the service level. My third column is defined as 'Starter2' which details the options that are in 'Starter1'. What I want to do is is have someone select from the 'Service_Level' drop down menu and then have it display Starter 1 and Starter2 data. I'm familar with Data validation and Vlookup, but I haven't been able to pull this off yet.
Another problem I've been running into is: since I have spaced in my first columns the drop down menu reflects this as well. Is there any way to filter the spaces for the drop down menu, yet keep them in the source field?
One other thing I should clairfy is that I want to be able to select 'starter, preferred, or extreme and have it reflect just the stats for those fields.

I have already have my lists created.... Problem... in Cells A17:A62 I need
the list of employees names to display down the column by selecting the
number value in Cell A13...(A13 being a four digit crew code)... Each
employee has a four digit crew number associated with them.... so far I have
Cell G10 as a drop down list to select the crew name, which puts the crew
four digit number in A13. So now I need Cells A17:A62 to display the
employee names down the column by using the value in A13... does that make
sense?

I have two separate columns of text and want to identify similarities/matches. vlookup false is good for exact matches but vlookup true is too approximate - is there a way to hone vlookup true to match first 4 or 5 text characters rather than just the first? If vlookup no good for this what is best function for identifying approximate matches in two separate text lists?

I have a workbook with two sheets
sheet1(Invoices) is the master and sheet2 (GR) contains information that i need to put onto sheet1.
I need a formula that will allow me to lookup sheet2 based on the criteria from 3 columns on sheet1... (PO no, Part No, Qty)
At the moment I am using 3 different vlookups to achieve what I need
If there are records on sheet2 which matches sheet1 then I would like to have the word MATCH if there is a match and CHECK if there is not?

I have a list of names that I'm looking up, and I want to list the data relevant to each name in a seperate place using a VLOOKUP ,(maybe theres a better way to do it) but some of the names appear more than once, resulting in an error.
I have on the first sheet, Name, Customer, Amount and Variance.
On the seperate sheet (in the same workbook) I have then name with 4 VLOOKUPS underneath, trying to extract the data Customer, Amount and Variance. But, I get errors in all of them.
Is there anyway I can List all the data relevant to each name using a Lookup function or is there another formula I should be using?

i have been looking around here and it seems like my problem is similar to many's regarding the vlookup function. to me, what i'm trying to do sounds simple enough, but it can't get it to work. i have a table that has three columns, Item Number, Item Description, and Amount.
Each item has it's own number, a corresponding item description, and ammount (obviously), but there are some repeats. What I want to do it input the Item Description, and have one field automatically pull up the Item number, and the next field, pull up the price. I am using a drop-down list for the Item Descriptions utilizing data validation. here is formula that i have been trying to use that is not working: =VLOOKUP(B2,Sheet1!$A$2:$C$18,1,FALSE). i have attached a trial worksheet that i am using to work things out on.

I have a list of rules on how to group account numbers. An example is below. I have a very long list of full account numbers (no wildcards). There are roughly 75 rules on how to group the over 40,000 accounts. I want to use the vlookup to determine what group each full account number (always 11 characters) would belong to? It seems that the vlookup isn't treating the ?'s as wildcards. I can use the full account number rules with the wildcards in the cell in the sumif function though.
So ultimately I would like to have my list of account numbers like 40000000000 and 40000000001 know that they belong in group 1 based on the rule table below.
Full Account Number
Account
Subaccount
