How To VLOOKUP With Prefix

Dec 12, 2013

G1 = will be one of these 12 choices: 01 January or 02 February or 03 March...or 12 December
K2 = Date I performed the task
D2 = Name of Inspector

I usually manually input on G2 the name of the report.

Example:
G1 = 12 December
K2 = 12/05/2013
D2 = Chris Mart

Therefore, I need to manually input on D2 = 13-12-MARTCL

Where....

MARTCL comes from a table where I have all the inspectors and their corresponding username.

That table is O2:P63. O1= Title of row (Username), P1 = Title of row (Name of inspector)

13 = year extracted from 12/05/2013
12 = Month of inspection (which can be extracted from G1 or K2)

How do I use cell reference AND VLOOKUP to create 13-12-MARTCL on G2?

Vlookup Based On Prefix

Feb 11, 2009

I have a table like below
A B
1 x1234 value
2 y1234 value

If I want to look for all values that start with "x", is there a way to do it within a vlookup formula? Something like: vlookup("x*", A1:B2, 2, False). I know there's other ways to do this, but I want it all contained in one formula instead of splitting the A column using LEFT(A1, 1).

Ignore Value In VLookup

May 5, 2014

I have a huge data set that simplified looks like the one below.

I would like to write a vlookup formula that ignores vlookup-value="need manual input", "", and "N/A", and instead continue to find the next lookup value that is not equal to "". if no match at all or only match to "" or "need manual input" I want the output to be "need manual input"

So, in worksheet 1 cell B1 i want to generate value 73530C10 (lookup-table cannot be sorted)

Worksheet 1

A

1
Bob

2
John

[Code] ..........

VLookup To Ignore Certain Data

Mar 1, 2006

Can I get VLookup to ignore certain data.

My situation is this,
Sheet 1 has
ColumnA Column B
Name Job#
Bob 1234
Bob 1235
Bob 1236

On Sheet 2 I have a combo box so I can pick any name from column A on sheet
one, then I want to use Vlookup, or whatever will work, to show me the Job
numbers that a selected person has worked on. So when I pick "bob" from my
combo box in A1, B1:B3 would display 1234, 1235, 1236.

Replace One Prefix With Another Prefix

Jan 23, 2010

UDC 01_001 template black.jpgBatch 01_385 template white.jpg
UDC 01_001 template blue.jpgBatch 01_385 template blue.jpg
UDC 01_001 template grey.jpgBatch 01_385 template grey.jpg
UDC 01_001 template pink.jpgBatch 01_385 template pink.jpg
UDC 01_001 template white.jpgBatch 01_385 template black.jpg

I have 100s of urls with prefix as the left column. I need to rename them to the right column format. UDC 01_001 will take number Batch 01_385, UDC 01_002 will use Batch 01_386 and so on.

I cant figure out how to do this in one quick macro instead of replace function.

VLOOKUP With INDIRECT (become Dynamic As The Table Array Part Of The Vlookup Will Change)

Aug 18, 2009

I have a Vlookup which I want to modify so that it can become dynamic as the table array part of the vlookup will change.

So the basic vlookup is as follows:
=VLOOKUP($R$3,ATTRIBUTION_FACTSET!$M$60:$P$73,2,0)
but the data I am looking for wont always be in the range M60:P73.

So I tried to make it dynamic by doing the following:
=VLOOKUP($R$3,INDIRECT("ATTRIBUTION_FACTSET"&"!M"&U1&":P"&V1),2,FALSE)
The idea being that U1 and V1 would be numbers that can change so in this case U1 would equal 60 and V1 would equal 73

This vlookup is giving me #N/A and no matter how I modify it I cannot get it to work.

Ignore Duplicate, Ignore Then Paste

Jun 26, 2007

I have in column D starting D9, I have numbers starting at 1, and may finish at 100. But there could be duplicates, 1,2,3,3,4,5,6,6,7,7,8,9,10,10,11,12,13,.........

I would like to only copy the range D9 to H (End of column D), ignoring all the duplicate numbers, to another sheet.

So on the second sheet, it would be 1,2,3,4,5,6...... with the data copied from E,F,G and H.

Data Table Is Pasted In For VLookUp - Not Have To Redo Table Name Each Time

Jun 2, 2013

I created a lookup table that works quite well. It even has if statements in the LookUp Formula. However, I have to update the table it pulls the information from each day. I wind up recreating the range each time because the table always has more rows each time. Is there a way I could just paste the table in each day and not have to change the range? The columns never change.

Lookup Up Entire Table Not Just Column In Table Like Vlookup Does

Jun 5, 2014

I'm trying to see if you can look up multi columns for a number and when it finds it return back to one column and return that data?

I am trying to sort out territories for a state I work on; the territories are divided up by zip codes.

i.e.
A B C D

territory 1 12345 54321 11222
territory 2 22222 33333
territory 3 44444 55555

and what I want is to say put a formula in cell B3 on Sheet 1 pointing to cell C3 that has zip code 33333. I want it to then take that and look in Sheet 2 and search A1:D3 and when it finds 33333, return "territory 2" back to cell B3 on Sheet 1.

Lookup Table In VBA Rather Than VLookup Table?

Nov 23, 2011

I get a file every day that contains online orders for a client. They have made the state and country fields on the order form free text, so sometimes the State field has CA, sometimes California, sometimes even Cal or Cali. Oregon may be represented as OR, Oregon, or Ore (and one time even Orygon.)

The country field may have US, USA, United States and sometimes United States of America.

Well, they need this data imported to their system with the states fully spelled out: Oregon, California. And the country spelled out as well: United States, Canada.

Right now I have a lookup tables worksheet that I just have a macro run a vlookup on. But I'd like to know if there is a way I could just put it all in the code, without the external tables.

i.e. some code that, in English, would basically say, "If the value of any cell in column K is among these values, replace it with those values, otherwise just leave it as it is". Could I do that while containing the two sets of values right in the code rather than on a worksheet?

I really just want to replace the standard abbreviated state/country codes with the full text, and if the value does contain Cali or Ore, let them manually make the change. Hopefully that will finally nudge them to just make the online order form utilize a drop-down list of states and countries, rather than free text.

Add A Text Prefix

Oct 25, 2008

I have a colummn of data (text data). For my purposes I would need to add a prefix text to every single cell contained in that column; for instance, if I have a cell with a text "hellohowareyou" ,

I would need to change it by adding to it a constant prefixation text "es_ES@" so that the final result would be displayed like "es_ES@hellohowareyou" , and so on for the rest of the cells under the same column.

VBA - File Prefix Only?

Jan 3, 2009

Say I have a workbook called test1.xls, where the number 1 at the end of the file name is variable. Tomorrow that character could be 2 so the file would become test2.xls etc (or could even be a letter for what it matters).

Is there a way in Visual Basic to recognize that the final character is not fixed but can get different values each time? Or in other words to recognize that the file starts with "test", and that whatever follows that prefix is not relevant?

For example....

If ActiveWorkbook.name = "'test*.xls" Then...

where * (star) could be any character.

As a Windows analogy, I am thinking of the * (star) character when one searches a certain directory for, say, Excel files (*.xls etc). Obviously, in VBE that doesn't work, and the star is just a character like any other.

Trying To Use IF Statement For Prefix Only

Jul 1, 2006

I’m making a database to forklifts. Most used code I have found from this forum. I haven’t found a way how to copy existing formulas on summary sheet so that sheet name is also changed in formula. I attached also my workbook, but it’s not in English language but in Estonian. I hope that isn’t problem.

If pressed button on summary sheet (“Pealeht”) then existing blank sheet are copied and renamed. On userform1 is textbox3 which value added to summary sheet, also combobox4 value added to summary sheet. Now I want that if pressed commandButton1 on userform1 then all formulas what exist on summary sheet from F6 to CW6 are also copied to next row and in formula sheet name changed. My second question is what to write that if new sheet created then it goes always to end of existing sheets. Right now I’m using code what copies new sheet after blank sheet but it’s not satisfying me.

Filtering In Dropdowns With A Prefix

Feb 20, 2010

I'm not a novice but this might be something simple I didn't realize. I am creating a quoting sheet for a steel fab company. I have created dopdowns for the different materials and sizes but the dropdown is way too big. I need to have a column that helps me filter the dropdown more so I don't have to scroll through litterally hundreds of steels to find the one I need. The good news is that most steels have prefixes that make them easier to filter.

For example:

L-3x3x1/2
L-2x2-1/2x1/4

C6@8.2#
C8@11.5#

W12@16.0#
W21@44.0#

What I'm looking for is a way to have a dropdown that has all of the prefixes (L, C, MC, W, PL, etc) in it and when I select one of them the next column (the actual description of the steel as shown above) will only give me the specific steels for that steel shape (L,C,W,etc)

Currently I'm putting one row of say the MC shapes and one row of the C shapes and one row of the L shapes then copying them as needed. It's a lot of work and you can easily make a mistake.

Removing 1- Prefix In Phone #'s

Apr 9, 2009

I read the thread below on how to utilize the Subsitute function to remove periods and thought about being able to use it for this. However, I have some phone #'s in my list that contain multiple 1- scenarios in them because the area code or 3-digit prefix sometimes include a 1- also. How do I make the formula only look at the 1- for long distance and not any other 1- found in the phone #? I want to remove all of the 1- for long distance because we are trying to use a new autodialer that is pre-programmed with the 1-.

Delete Worksheets With Specified Prefix

Nov 7, 2009

I have several excel workbooks with many worksheets (over 500 in some). Around a third of these worksheets are named "Exp1", "Exp2", "Exp3", etc.

I would like a macro that will delete all worksheets that do not have names starting with the letters "Exp". I do not want any confirmation dialogue, and as the workbooks vary in size, I would like it to finish when there are no sheets left (except the Exp ones of course).

for a small online database I have a column that lists nationalities:

French
Spanish

I need to add a prefix to all nationalities, for example:

Insert Prefix Based On Cell Value?

Jun 3, 2014

I have lists of numbers in column A. Based on the number in the cell, I would like to insert RO_ or RP_ before the number. I currently have two buttons for this, one named RO and the other RP and have simply recorded a macro of what I wish to do. However, instead of inserting RO_ or RP_ before the number the macro replaces the hole lot with "RP_10" or "RO_10" as this was the cell i recorded the macro on. How do I make it so it just inserts the Prefix rather than replace the contents of the cell.

Currently my code for one of the buttons is as follows;

Adding Zeros To The Prefix Or Certain Numbers

Mar 2, 2009

Im basicaly pulling a report wherein the details will have a column as number.

It basicaly should be a three digit number. The tool will have the information as below.

VNO005016017008019020021

But when im pulling out the report into excel, the zeros in the prefix goes away and the report looks like the below

VNO516178192021

I just checked the tools previllages and it seems that we cannot do anyting in pulling the data as it is in the tool.

So wht im trying to do is to save the report in a folder where i have placed a validation sheet which will have references of the parent report.

So when i open the report the reference will pull up the data and in here i would like to add a validation which will add "0" in the prefix if VNO is a 2 digit number or "00" if the VNO is a one digit number.
