VLOOKUP Grab The One That Is Listed First
Sep 11, 2008
I do have one issue I need to work on with a VLOOKUP formula.
I have a list of cities and counties that the VLOOKUP goes and looks at to pull information from.
The problem is that when there is a city and county with the same name (Example: Boulder and Boulder County) VLOOKUP always seems to jsut grab the one that is listed first in the list.
When you use the city name of Boulder, VLOOKUP always retruns the information for Boulder County.
Here is my forumula:
=VLOOKUP(qtProjAddress3,'City Mileage and Tax Rates'!A2:C518,2)
Is there something I can add to this formula that will allow it to return the proper city or county when the names are similar?

I have created an image of what i want and hopefully this will explain better.
This is very hard but it is something really important for the company i work for and have an idea on how its done but not enough knowledge to implement yet.

Im looking to have excel grab the sheet name from the cell rather than manually clicking on the sheet each time. I have attached an example. I would like the formula in cells B5:7 and C5:7 to reference A5:7 rather than the specific sheet as seen in cell B5 --> =b!A1. I assume it will look something along the lines of ='(A5)'!A1, but that doesn't seem to work?

I have two documents with very similar information. Some rows are duplicates. However, there is one column of information missing from the 1st spreadsheet. Let's call them Sheet1 and Sheet2.
How do I tell Excel:
In Sheet1, IF A2 matches any field in Sheet 2, column A
Then: copy the data from the same row, in a different column (Sheet1 A3) and put it into a specific corresponding cell (Sheet2 A3)
Basically I'm trying to grab a product ID from sheet2 and put it in the matching cell, for that specific product. I have all teh product IDs in column A in sheet 2. The product IDs field in Sheet 1 is blank. I need to populate it with teh correct information from Sheet 2. But there are many moreproducts in sheet 2 than in sheet 1, so I can't just sort and do a copy paste. It needs to think "if the product exists in sheet 2, grab the info from sheet 2 and put it into sheet 1 for that product id."

I would like to automate this process that I'm doing currently through the "Text to Columns" function.
Basically I have various cells that contain many worlds such as:
FRESH LUNETTE SOLEIL REES 1'S
INFOKUS SOLEIL LECTURE LUNETTES 1'S
KENSIE LUNETTE SOLEIL ELEORA 1'S
KENSIE LUNETTE SOLEIL ELIZABETH 1'S
KENSIE LUNETTE SOLEIL JAMES 1'S
KENSIE LUNETTE SOLEIL VESPER 1'S
KIDS LUNETTE SOLEIL HOUSTEN 1'S
KIDS LUNETTE SOLEIL MINNIE 1'S
My goal is to separate the first world from the rest of the words in one cell.
Since all of the words are seperated by space, I use the the "Text to Columns" function and separate the words, so that I can get the first word into one column. The rest of the words have to be merged again through "Concatenate".
What I'm looking for is a VBA code or Excel function that can identify the first world (which vary in character lengths) and put it into one column.

Is it possible to have a spreadsheet that when opened grabs data from every file with "*invoice" in the title in folder 2009 and all its sub directories and puts them into a list in the opened file?
The data needed is to be from sheet1, cells B16, C18, G18 from all the files
and i would like B16 put into A2, C18 into B2 and G18 into C2
Then the next sheets data B16 to A3, C18 B3 and G18 to C3 etc etc until all files with invoice in the title have been added.
B16 is a name
C18 is an address and
G18 is a postcode
This means there can be no duplicates so if opened twice there will only ever be 1 of the same address and postcode.

Dim iStartBook As Long, iNewBook As Long
iStartBook = ActiveWindow.Index
ActiveWindow.NewWindow
iNewBook = ActiveWindow.Index
I'm trying to grab the "2" that .NewWindow generates. The above gives 1 both times, despite the obvious 2 in the caption after you run it. So what property works? What does .Index mean here?

I've set a range as DD14 to G014, then using a For Next Loop asked the program to cycle through each cell in the range. Upon findng a populated cell, it stores several bits of data from that cell (already done) and then move up one cell to record the cell value (time) and again move one cell up to record the date.
Now I did get this to work using a clunky bit of code that used activecell.offset to move the focus up the two columns and a While .... Wend loop - but using a set range and cycling through each cell it does not appear to be possible - or am I wrong?
Set MyRange(1) = Range("D14:ER14")
Set MyRange(2) = Range("D23:GN23")
For MyCounter = 1 To 2
For Each Cell In MyRange(MyCounter)
If Cell.Value = "" Then Goto Skip_Cell
MyCell = Cell.Address
MyPosition = InStr(1, Cell.Value, ",")
If MyPosition = 0 And Len(Cell.Value) >= 3 Then
Tool_Number = Left(Cell.Value, 3).....................

I have one worksheet with four columns of data. Column A is a well name, RA-0001, column B is the measured depth of the well from 0 feet to however far down it goes, anywhere from 4000 to 15000 feet, column C is the inclination of the well, column D is the Azimuth.
I have 500 wells from RA-0001 to RA_0500 or so all in this one worksheet, all the wells have varying Measured Depths associated to their well name. I need to create a macro that can separate the wells and either put them in a new worksheet for each well, ie. a worksheet named RA-0001, RA-0002, ..... ect. OR, and this would be nicer, a macro that can actually save all these individual wells as (Formatted Text (Space Delimited)) files with the associated well name.
Here is an example of what it looks like. The columns do not have a subject line to state what information is in each column because I dont need it in that format.
RA-0001
0
0.00
0.00
RA-0001
100
0.91
5.56
[Code] .......
Even just knowing how to create a simple macro that would take all the data from each well so I could manually copy and save them as new files.

I need in XL for a macro to run, open my word file, copy the entire thing and then paste it back in XL.
So leaving it general, Word.doc and Excel.xlsx
It's all because my company's POS system will only export to Word but everything we do is in XL.

How to grab data from a table providing it fulfills two chained conditions without using a concatenated key. For example:
I have this table and I want to get the combination Name + Color. :
A
B
C
1
John
White
2
John
Red
[Code] ........
The database is something like:
A
B
C
D
1
John
Red
3254.30
[Code] ......
I ended up using VLOOKUP() and a concatenated key like Name&Color but it slow down the sheet significantly as I have many records and also does not seem the most elegan solution. I tryied using OFFSET() nested with MATCH()but couldn't get it. Also tried something with ARRAY FORMULAS but I am not very proficient at them.

I am creating a billing sheet that has a column where charges are coded (to determine what they are for) and I want a "Grand Total" for everything followed by a breakdown "Total" for things with the same code. Is there a way to set SUM code to grab all numbers next to codes?? (EX. Column A is Billing Code, column B is Cost in $$; I want a total at the bottom that takes the different amounts in column B based on the various information/codes from column A).

I am trying to make up a workbook for a friend for their daily food intake. The formulas were working fine but she was hoping to be able to just enter the food and have the rest of the information automatically entered.
I was having no problem with it using a vlookup formula for the foods and a data validation drop down menu but when it comes to the final formula I am getting a #VALUE! error in that column unless there is a food listed.
I have attached to workbook. If you notice in the Sunday Tab I have the problem but Monday is fine since I have not added the vlookup formula. Is there a way to have it not show anything like in Monday when there is nothing entered?

i know by the formula =combin(49,6) how many combination of 6 numbers there are from a available 49 numbers (13983816).
how do i manage to get all combinations listed in a excel spreadsheet? I would want the numbers in individual cells. For example, Row 1 would show 6 numbers individually from A1 - F1.
I do realise that excel does not have enough rows to do this so may have to continue on other sheets.

I need a macro to find for example
Bigg, Kelly
Bigg, Kelly
Bigg, Kelly (find the last name listed in the column) then move over (0,2) and copy - paste into a different spreadsheet.
Where I am mainly stuck is it locating the last name listed in the file - if the name is listed multiple times.

I have a spreadsheet which is used for tracking work items for a team of people. On one sheet I have a column of dates and rows of named 'tasks' against them. I need to identify the first and last dates at which a 'task' is listed.
My spreadsheet is attached.
On sheet2 K2 I want to see the first / earliest date where 'Fish' occurs on sheet1
On sheet2 L2 I want to see the last / latest date where 'Fish' occurs on sheet1
I have tried using SUMPRODUCT MAX / MIN but I got myself in a muddle!!

I am looking to create a formula to get the initials of a name, where the the last name is listed first, followed by a comma.
Now, the names could be full names or initials.
So, it could be something like: Smith, John R - result would be JRSSmith, John Robert - result would be JRSSmith, John Robert Michael - result would be JRMS There were similar formulas that I found here, but these only got the last letter of the last name - in this case the following formulas would have resulted (with the above examples) in: JTS or the last example with Michael, JLS.
=UPPER(MID(A1,FIND(" ",SUBSTITUTE(A1," ",REPT(" ",2)))+1,1)&RIGHT(A1)&LEFT(A1))
=UPPER(MID(A1,FIND(" ",A1)+1,1)&RIGHT(A1)&LEFT(A1))
Note: While I am using Excel 2010, there could be users that are still using 2003.

The current method I'm using to get the results I need in Excel are a bit manual and excessive. is a simple all in one formula for what I'm trying to do,
The data is 3 rows. We can also assume the data is in the first three columns starting from A1.
698
885
499
As you can see in the above set from 0 through 9, the numbers that are not listed are 0,1,2,3,7
And As you can see the numbers that are listed are 4,5,6,8,9.
How do I find and show which numbers from 0 - 9 are not in the set.
How do I show the number that are listed in the set Example:
Note: the special characters aren't needed.
698 4,5,6,8,9 --- 0,1,2,3,7
885
499
Note the the evaluation is for every three rows. So the three rows in the example are from a table with 150 rows. Each row begins a new evaluation for the next three.....Example:
698 and the following two starts the next set
885 and the following two starts the next set
499 and the following two starts the next set
and so on ......

I have a project I need to get done, and I've done most of it. But, there are a few things in VBA I'm unfamiliar with, and I was wondering if I could send you the file so you could take a look at it, and see if you're able to do it. This involves VBA. Honestly shouldn't be too too difficult, but something beyond what I can do. I have the specifications listed already, and I am ready to send it to you. Anyone feel comfortable taking a look at it?

I am attempting to create a macro that will loop through a range, each cell of which contains a worksheet name which needs to be activated in turn. My limited knowledge says that either of the two techniques below should work, but they do not.
Sub SelectSheet()
For i = 2 To 50
Sheets(Range(("J" & i))).Select
Next
End Sub
OR
Sub SelectSheetv2()
For i = 2 To 50
Sheets((Cells(i, 10))).Select
Next
End Sub

I have a Combobox with it's 'RowSource' set to two columns x 1500 rows on a spreadsheet. The Combobox is set to 'fmMatchEntryComplete'. When the user types in invalid text I get an "Invalid Value Property" error. I would like to validate the Combobox so that the user cannot type text other than available in the list, or not allow for the focus to be taken away away unless the item is a match to the list. At present due to the interaction of other controls on the userform, the only way to clear the error is by pressing the 'Escape key'. I have a button designed to reset the 'RowSource' of the Combobox but even after adding a 'MouseMove' event to this button with code
Application.SendKeys "{ESC}"
