VLOOKUP - Pulling Wrong Data

Jan 8, 2007

I have a VLOOKUP, which uses a named range called Department. The first column is sorted in asending order. The department numbers are 4 digits, formatted numeric. The department numbers are in order up to Department #19000, then they jump to 50000 series. Here's the problem, the 20000 department seris is in the master database, and the lookup is returning the data relating to Department #19000, instead of NA.

Vlookup Returning The Wrong Data?

Jul 10, 2014

I am working on a form to pull employee identifiers such as employee ID, store number as well as sales performance.

A sample of the spreadsheet I am trying to pull data from is attached. Some employees the formula pulls the right data and some it does not...

Vlookup: Pulls The Wrong Data Until A Correct One Occurs

Jul 13, 2009

I am having problems with the function vlookup. I attached an excel file of my problem. It seems to pull the correct lookup, then it pulls the wrong data until a correct one occurs. My excel attachment should make more since of my problem. It will also pull data that is invalid. For example, the name "S5" is not a in my original data so it should not be able to find that?? Sorry, this is hard to explain - let me know if the file is not clear enough.

Macro For Spotting Text From One List To Another Then Pulling In Data With Vlookup?

Jun 3, 2014

I have a list of active accounts with its relevant data on one sheet, then I have a list of closed/inactive accounts that will be updated periodically by different users. I would like to run a query for the accounts on the closed list to pull in relevant data from the active list,if any, or maybe just highlight the closed accounts on the active list to ensure that the closed accounts aren't active again. Is that possible with a macro? Should it just be a vlookup? The accounts list is going to be a very big file and I am trying to find a solution that won't take up too much time to run.

VLOOKUP Returning Wrong Value?

Jul 3, 2013

I am trying to use the Vlookup function to return State name based on the corresponding state code.

I have the list of State along with the Codes in adjacent sheet, arranged in ascending order. I am using the Vlookup function to list the State name based on the State code.

Vlookup function: Vlookup(A4,Sheet2.A2:B51,1)

This function returns me a wrong value. It gives "Arkansas" for the state code "AZ", when it should be Arkansas.

Also, if I add "FALSE" as a 4th argument, it returns "#N/A".

VLOOKUP Returning Wrong Value

Dec 14, 2006

I have this formula that returns a grade mark for a specific score in a test:

=VLOOKUP(D4,'Grade scale'!$A$34:$B$42,2)

using these values in the lookup table:

Low scoreGrade
0.0% U
25.0% G
35.0% F
45.3% E
55.3% D
65.5% C
72.0% B
78.0% A
85.0% A*

The problem comes where the Grade is A or A* as the Vlookup table can't differentiate the two. Anyone know how to modify the formula so that A and A* are seen as distinct values?

VLookup - Pulling Last Two Characters Of A Cell

Apr 7, 2014

In one spot I have a formula that is pulling the last two characters of a cell (right,xx,2).

It results in a number. I am trying to that number in a vlookup

(=VLOOKUP(C2,data!$C$1:$D$6,2,FALSE))

But it appears not to recongize the number (c2), because I am getting #N/A for a result, even though the number is on my vlookup range.

Prevent Entering In Wrong Data

Aug 6, 2008

[code]...

Above is what I hav already, I was thinking it would help if each card had an additional field added that told you if the contents were valid. This could also say empty if all fields were blank. This field could for example use an if statement to check that you have entered a VS, a start date a project name. It could also check that if you have entered a completion date you also enter review loops. This could be in large red text so it is obvious to someone completing a card that they have not yet filled in all necessary data.

Wrong Data Type Supplied To UDF Error

Aug 31, 2007

My colleague and I are writing a udf which uses a "match/ index" combination to return a value to a cell from a named range in another sheet. The cell returns returns the error "value used in the formula is of the wrong data type". When we break down the code into a function which refers directly to the relevant cells, and a sub which returns the value in a message box, it works correctly: here's the code for the function and test sub:

VB Code Bringing New Data In Onto The Wrong Blank Rows

Jan 19, 2009

Im having some problems with the following VB code

It does import all my data but if I have 4 files for it to import to the 3 different tabs the following happens:
on tab A the first 3 files all come in fine but the 4th file comes in on row 103 instead of the next blank row which would be 22
on tab B the first 2 files come in fine but the 3rd and 4th come in starting on row 94 instead of first blank row which would be 13
on tab C the first 1 file comes in fine but the 2nd 3rd and 4th files come in starting on row 88 instead of 7.

I'd be more then happy to email my spreadsheet to someone as its quite hard to explain whats going on!
I know its probabally a daft mistake I've made in the code if someone could just point out what I've done wrong so I can try to resolve it.

Private Sub ImportData_Click()

'Imports and processes the raw FILE data into the Workbook
'Define a as the current FILE file reference cell,
Dim a As Range
'Define minTime and maxTime as the min and max task periodicity should be processed.
Dim minTime As Long, maxTime As Long

Wrong Data Type Error In Simple Array Formula

Jun 30, 2013

I am trying to use FIND and an array formula to find the position of text in a range of cells (A2 and A3 in the example) which could be one of a number of options (C1:D1 here). But the array formula throws up the following error: "A value used in the formula is of the wrong data type". The simplest illustration of the problem is as follows. The formula in B2 is

Code:
{=FIND(($C$1:$D$1),A2)}
and $C$1:$D$1 contain REF and ATM respectively. [/CODE]
REF
ATM
203047 05AUG 08.55 OKEHAMPTON ATM
#VALUE!
CO-OP GROUP 380611 REF 191 7553375222 BCC
22

We see that B2 has a #VALUE! error - wrong data type. But for some reason B3 is ok returning 22!

Pulling Data From A Tab

Jun 10, 2009

i want it to change the Header in E1 to the name of that price level and have the prices change according to that price level. The price level prices are currently being pulled from another tab through vlookups which lookups up the part numbers. My method only works with 1 price level right now and have no clue how to approach it with more then one price level. Also these part numbers will change positions and locations and are not permanent hence why i thought to use a vlookup.

Is there a way macro wise ( preferably through a formula ) that i can have Column E prices change according to the Price Level Entered.

Pulling Data From Dates?

Aug 6, 2014

In the little chart on the left, I have the customer name, when their story is due, and when it was completed. On the right, I want to show how many words per hour my journalist is averaging for each week. What I'd like to do in cells J2 through J5 is to have a formula that pulls out the total number of words written for all projects that occurred during that time frame. I can't seem to figure out the formula, though. I was thinking that I needed an array formula starting with ifferror and calling from the row functions, but I can't seem to get it to work out right.

Here's my sample sheet: sample data journalists.xlsx

I need to extract each set of Data to another worksheet. The problem is that it will be anywhere from 1 row each to 10 rows each. In each instance, there is a blank between the two sets of Data. I've looked at ISBLANK, LOOKUP, SEARCH, etc. but nothing I've tried has worked out.

Pulling Data From Website When Url Changes

Feb 8, 2008

I have written a macro to pull in data from a website each day. However the macro falls over because the end of the url changes slightly each day as the website provider updates the information. Unfortunately there does not appear to be a logical pattern to the number change in the url and so I don’t think I can pre-empt what the change will be. The path through the website remains the same, but the url changes as a new csv document replaces the old one. Is there any way of writing the macro so that it opens/picks up the current url rather than a fixed url?

VBA- Pulling Data From Website

Aug 24, 2008

I went through the thread http://www.mrexcel.com/forum/showthread.php?t=302438. I have similar problem of pulling the data from http://www.nseindia.com/ site. Could you please help me?

The navigation to the page required is as below.

http://www.nseindia.com/ > Equity > Historical Data > Security-wise data >

eg. NSE Symbol: RPL, Series: ALL, From date: 01-01-2008, To date: 01-05-2008.

After clicking on the 'Get Results' button it navigates to the page with tables. At the end it says "Download file in csv format". upon clicking this a csv file opens. (http://www.nseindia.com/content/equi...-2008RPLXN.csv)

I need this page to be opened in Excel sheet. How should I go ahead?
(Basically I need historical stock data csv files of various stocks)

Even though a simple web query opens the page, it do not work if the parameters (stock name, date) are changed.

I found that the last resulting page in csv is using a "REFERRAL URL". Could this be a problem? How to get around?

I know little bit of VBA and can further work to pass variables.

Pulling Data From Multiple Data Tabs?

Aug 30, 2012

I have a spreadsheet with multiple data tabs feeding a few summary tabs.

For this question I will deal with one summary tab and two data tabs, one data tab for sales and one data tab for service. On the summary tab, I want to look at vehicles sold during a certain time period-(looking to the sales tab). For each of the records in the sales tab that match the date range, I need to count the repair order activity on the service tab. The key between the summary and sales tab is the sales date, and the key between the sales and service tabs is the vehicle serial number.

I currently have multiple columns on the sales tab to perform the counts from the service tab, thus allowing me to pull the information to the summary tab. Problem is that the spreadsheet has over 2 million calculating cells and tends to take excessive amounts of time to recalc.
