VLOOKUP Across Multiple Columns?
Dec 16, 2012
I have a list of names I need to look up against another list. My problem is that the second list has a mixed formatting of Firstname Lastname and Lastname Firstname. What I did so far is create a second column that reverses the first and last names in the column.
Table1:
A
B
1
Name
Name (reversed)
2
John Smith
Smith John
3
Jackson Laura
Laura Jackson
4
Maxwell Ted
Ted Maxwell
5
Chris Hansen
Hansen Chris
Table2:
A
B
1
Name
Currently employed?
2
John Smith
=IF(ISNA(VLOOKUP([A1; Table1!A:A;1;FALSE));"NO"; "YES")

The VLOOKUP formula works great but I need it to look for a matching name across Table1:A:B not just Table1:A:A. How would I do this?

Certification and Training tracking.xlsx
I want to create a certification only list on a separate tab of training that has been completed where a certification has been issued (as indicated by a "Y" in the "Certification?" column on the training tracking tab) and then populate from some of the fields vs. all of the fields.
What I have now, only pulls the first occurence, not all occurences. I saw that I could have identified the multiple columns that needed to be populated, but it didn't work either, so I'm fine putting a separate vlookup in each column.

I've used VLOOKUP based on matching one column and returning one result. No problem. Now I need to return one result based on 3 columns matching.
Assume this range of columns is named: TravelDays
Origin...Location...ShipVia...TravelDays
33778...420...UPS...3
33778...425...UPS...1
33778...440...UPS...3
33778...443...UPS...3
33778...446...UPS...2
33778...447...UPS...3
33778...449...UPS...5
33778...475...UPS...3
What I'm trying to accomplish is if these columns match:
i2=Lookup!TravelDays,1
E2=Lookup!TravelDays,2
N2=Lookup!TravelDays,3
My result should be: Lookup!TravelDays,4

i am trying to get a VLOOKUP to work over a number of different columns. An example the problem:
Sheet1
A B
1 10
2 20
3 30
4 40
5 50
Sheet1 is the sheet i want to lookup the values and i want to place the results into column B
Sheet2
A B C
1 10 40 50
2 20
3 30
Sheet2 contains all the infromation that i want to look for to make the comparison.
I know that the expression used for the VLOOKUP is:
Code:
VLOOKUP(lookup_value,table_array,col_index_num,range_lookup)
The issue i have is "col_index_num" as i want to look over multipule columns. I have been using this expression:
Code:
=VLOOKUP(A2,Sheet2!$A$1:$J$20000,1,FALSE)
How do i change the "col_index_num" to look over all 3 columns and not just the 1st, 2nd, or 3rd?

Basically, I have an array of data (let's say A2:D20). I then want to do a VLOOKUP across the columns A:D, and return the corresponding value in column G, if VLOOKUP can find a particular value from column F, say.
So, I need a VLOOKUP function written in G2, that finds the value E2 in EITHER A2,B2,C2 or D2 (and return what is in E2, say).
I first thought I could CONCATENATE the strings in A2, B2, C2 and D2 and use some sort of VLOOKUP that finds a string within another string.

I have two separate worksheets, and I am trying to create a Vlookup or Index and Match formula. Here is the example:
Sheet 1
Cell A1= Employee ID: 123-D.
Sheet2
Vlookup A1 from Sheet 1, and match the first five characters to Column A, Column I and Column P. If a match, return name (e.g. John Doe) in Sheet 1, cell B1.

I have a spreadsheet with twenty columns. Column A has an item number (say "Clutch"), and the remainder of the columns have values. However, there only be one column in the range B:T which will have a value on the same row as "Clutch" (say "Black" in column "N").
How I can I return "Black" using a vlookup or should I be using something else?

creating an equation that could essentially vlookup off multiple columns.
I get a report once a week with a list of employee ID numbers. I have a separate spreadsheet with employee names, ID 1, ID 2, ID 3, ID 4, in columns A,B,C,D,E , respectively.
I am trying to put a forumla in the report where it will take the employee ID number and reference it to my separate spreadsheet and give me back a name if it matches any of the 4 IDs that pertain to that employee.
I've tried index/match but I believe match only looks at one column.

I have an XLS sheet filled with every zip code in the US... the zips are in multiple columns adjacent to columns with the corresponding county names.
Unfortunately, the there are up to EIGHTEEN columns of zip codes in each row describing the counties... not one zip per row. I'm assuming this was done to save space.
In another sheet, I have list of client zip codes and need to VLOOKUP the corresponding county from the first sheet. I'm certain I'm not using VLOOKUP right...I'm getting #N/A every time.
Is this because it's only checking the first column of zip codes? I need it to check all 18 columns of course... there are no repeated zips.
How do I do this without rebuilding the full zip database page?

I'm looking to simply find a function that allows me to lookup a certain value in a table of data and return the value in a specific column. So if I looked up the current date, 6/27/2011, it would return the week it is in (26). I dont want to be limited to just the monday column however, as the dates I will be throughout the entire week. Is there an easy way to do this in excel 2007?

What formula should I use so that it will find the match with a 6-column table (with every other column containing the 'reference' items, so I can't use vlookup)
So that it will return the value next to the match
(instead of returning gibberish, will return a number instead)
Solved
Okay had that table setup that way because I needed separate tables ("linked" comboboxes")
So I just altered it so that the vlookup range changes dependent on the value of combobox 1.

I am using Windows xp and Excel 2007. I'm creating a user form and have a vlookup formula that goes to a table and looks up calories and sodium based on the text entered by the user. My problem is that I want to be able to populate the 3 columns with information and then sum the values that are returned to the Calories and Sodium columns. Is that possible with Vlookup?
=IF(ISNA(VLOOKUP(F8&G8&H8,Food!A:E,4,FALSE)),0,VLOOKUP(F8&G8&H8,Food!A:E,4,FALSE))

I am trying to create a formula which looks in 1 cell to determine 'IF' it states either "BUTT CUT" or "DIE CUT" and then does a VLOOKUP in a table array for each which ever column relates to asnwer to 'IF statement.
This is as far as I have got but even this won't work:
=IF(I15="BUTT CUT",=VLOOKUP(J15,V13:Z22,2,FALSE))

I'm new here and I saw that many people actually have excellent knowledge in excel.
Well, I'm trying to use vlookup on my sheet, but the data I have comes with the code and your score his side.
In a standard vlookup would be: = vlookup (value, range, 2, false).
This is the problem, I would like that when he could not find the value in column A or B, were to column C or D and so on.

I have a spreadsheet with 10 columns which are for tags for products. Some columns are filled in for 10 products and some are not. For instance, product 1 has 7 tags while product 2 has only 2 tags and so on. Now what I am looking to do is combine all the tags for each product with a "," inbetween each one. The problem is if I just use a simple =A2&","&B2&","&C2 etc formula is that if there are only 2 tags then I get 8 ","s. I also tried it with an IF statement but by the time I was done nesting items I became cross eyed and said there has to be an easier way to do this.
I have create a spreadsheet with the data and the result that I typed into the "result" column.

Example:................
The key point is that I have over 400 columns grouped in three, offset by one row down for each (this is due to a different formula I have working). Each column is 60 numbers long (not including empty cells above data). I want to copy all of these columns into a single set of three columns on another sheet (Sheet2). (These will be the fifth, sixth, and seventh columns, E, F, and G. If it would be simpler, I could simply copy the third of each set of columns on Sheet1 (C, F, I) to column G of Sheet2. Then there would be a total of 144 columns being copied (60 numbers per column).) All of this copying has to be values-only as the original columns consist of formulas referencing outside cells. Sheet2 should look like this:.............

I found this code on Ozgrid to sort all columns of a worksheet that were continuous with no gaps or spaces that works well:
Sub CopyToA()
Do While ActiveCell <> ""
Range(ActiveCell, ActiveCell.End(xlDown)).Cut Destination:=Range("a65535").End(xlUp).Offset(1, 0)
ActiveCell.Offset(0, 1).Select
Loop
End Sub
However, I've tried to manipulate the code myself to 1) find all columns that aren't empty then 2) sort each column individually (WITHOUT expanding the sort to other columns) and 3) combining all the numbers into one seperate column. There are many posts concerning sorting but not one that addressed this particular situation.
