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 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?
I need "my sheet" to populate (columns A,B,&C) with some source data; however, I need the lookup to reference both retailer# and color (columns D&E) and return other information such as description, color description, etc...
Q1: In the range for the lookup I'm performing, the column with the possible match is the 2nd column. I've tested my function with this range, but it fails (range is $A$x:$K$x, with possible matches residing in column B). If I change the range so the 1st column has the desired data ($B$x:$K$x), it works. Can I modify the function to search using the 2nd column so I don't have to rearrange the columns in my worksheet?
Q2: Can I return an entire rold of data? If yes, how? I only know how to return one cell.
The issue I am having is that the value isn't an exact match so it is returning line 3 with a value of 315 rather than line 1 and a value of 313. What am I doing wrong?
I am trying to use a VLookup to pull a value out of a range and return my intended data. See attached spreadsheet. The data I'm pulling from is in the top chart. The bottom chart, in the factor column, is where I want the data to pull to. Ex) If the "Months of Development" column in the bottom chart =13, I want it to pull the factor value from the top chart where the month is 13. The problem is that the top chart has a range of values in the "Month Range" column of 13 - 24. I don't know how to get the VLookup to recognize this and pull the same factor into the chart below whether the value is 13 or 24. Maybe VLookup isn't the best option here.
I have a large table in the final tab of my excel book. This table contains data such as Company name, contact details, etc but also a date which I must contact them on (this is nothing sinister, just a curtsy call following a job ).
The problem I am having is that I am running a vlookup on the first tab on a cell referring to todays date. This only brings shows one record which is the first occurrence of this date. This isn't very useful to me
The problems I need solving are:
I would like to be able to vlookup a range of dates (i.e. 7 days before or after todays date) - how do it do this?
I would also like to be able to return multiple results (i.e. if there is more than one company within that date range I would like them to show).
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:
I have a column (B) of randomly generated numbers 1-14, and am using this formula range to sort in descending order and return the relevant value from column (c).
=VLOOKUP(LARGE(B3:B20,1),B3:C20,2,) to =VLOOKUP(LARGE(B3:B20,14),B3:C20,2,)
Works great, except when a number is duplicated, (E.G. 14,13,13,12,11,10,10,9,8 etc). It then returns the first value from(C) repeated, and not the value from the second and subsequent duplicated reference numbers.
I need to know how to read all the criteria1 brought by the autofilter (in the dropdown box) from one column one by one and then print the table. Is that possible? I've read that it's hard but never read how to do that.
I am trying to return a cell address range based on values in different columns. Attached is an example.
In Column A1 I have "Range" and below that a set of numbers from 1 to 31.
In Column B1 the name "Test" is used as an identifier, below that are the letters "a" though to "e". Once the letter "e" is reached the identifier "Test" is moved to column C "C6" and the alphabet continues from "f" down to "j". This process is repeated through the rest of the alphabet and the identifier moved to the next column after every 5th letter.
What I want to do is as follows:-
I would like to know the cell addresses of all instances of "test" from Column A numbers 6 throught to 24. The result should be C7:C12, D14:18 & D20:24. The results should ignore all instances of the identifier "test" and only return the cells which contain the letters of the alphabet.
I have tried using Vlookup which works well if the letters are all in the same column and I have incorporated the Address and Match formulas to return the range if all the alphabets are in the same column, but I do not know how to do this if the identifier "test" and letters move to a differnt column.
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 have is 3 sheets in the same excel document. Sheet 1 is the mater sheet, which is a compilation of sheets 2 and 3, however the sheet layouts are different.
The sheets consist of a list of names and details. Sheet 1 has all the names in the list, however sheet 2 and 3 only have partial lists that are in a different order from the original list. The details listed next to the names in sheets 2 and 3 are different and hence a straight forward row copy and paste will not work.
What i need is to write a vba script that can take the name from the master list, search sheets 2 and 3 for the name and lookup the variables placed in next to the name, then update the master sheet accordingly, then continue to the next name on the master sheet and do the update again, and so on until all is updated. I have already thought about using lookup functions in excel however there is 1000 names on the list and around 60 details so it would be messy.
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?
PROBLEM: B10 (see below) is a Vlookup and it is preventing C1 to return the name of the agency: AIB or MOODY - Instead I get TRUE or FALSE, No use to me.
I'm trying to use the VLOOKUP function to return value from a row below.
I have a large list of numbers (sheet Data) for the entire year with 8 different items per week, and I need to create a list for each week with group of 8 unique items as shown on "Week 21" sheet (I did it manually by copy and paste, highlights are just for the example, don't need to be at the original file). After the first 8th rows, it should start over until it gets to the last value on sheet "Week 21".
Basically, Column B on sheet "Week 21" should be statics, and once I change value on column A it should return values as in the example automatically.
I am trying to use vlookup to locate a cell in another work book. The identifier is in the same workbook as the vlookup formula however the table and column to look within is in another. The identifier will also show up in the other work book where the table resides.
I have this formula "=VLOOKUP(B5,$F$254:$G$258,2,FALSE)" I want it to return a "0" when cell B5 is not populated. How could I do that? Right now it returns "#N/A" and messes up my math down the sheet..
Been working on this problem for a while, I need to have a vlookup (or other function) return locations based off of a concatenate (for unique identifiers). Only issue is that the concatenate formula creates doubles which returns the same location for each vlookup. I have attached an example file.
I have 2 columns of data: Column A is basically postcodes, but just the 1st part and Column B is a #2. If somewhere else on the sheet I type in the postcode IE. SW19 it will show besides it in my lookup the number 2. However if I type in a postcode that is not listed in Column A, I'd like to to return the value 1. I cannot figure this out. My code is:
I'm using VLOOKUP to search for results in another worksheet. What I need is 0 returned if the search fails. Currently I'm getting #N/A and that's causing my other formulas to fail.
I have a formula that needs to return blanks as blank and 0s as 0. The vlookup formula will return blanks as 0, or I can make it return a blank whenever it is zero (below), but some cells may have a 0 record that need to return 0s, not blank.
Right now I am missing a few records that are entered as "0". I have:
i have a customer work book for outstanding orders of which there are hunderds of rows with there name order number and the items that are outstanding
when i have progressed all my purchased orders i take all the items and run it throught my work book using vlookup to return who wanted what items if any
but what if there are more then one customer wanting the same item how can i get vlookup to know that and return the next match
i'm still very new at excel so can someone please help me
attached is a small test of my work book
if you see item 3182Y/1.0/BLK you can see it is wanted by both a.f switchgear and amg
I don't even know if using the IF statement is the right function, but anyway. I am using VLOOKUP to complete a supply list, but of course if the supply name isn't on the first spreadsheet then the result is NA. Instead I want it to return 0.
Is it possible to write a vlookup that will return a value of Yes if the value is true and a value of No if the value is false?
I have data in column A on sheet 1 so the lookup value starts in cell A2 and the table array is on sheet 2 in columns A and B so the column index is 2.
