VLOOKUP Sorta Works But Result Is Actually One Cell Up / Or Down?
Jun 12, 2014
I am trying to use a VLOOKUP on a table of manufacturing die cuts of certain sizes.
A formula tells me a number close to the die that is available. The rule is to use the next larger size die cut for the job.
An example of die sizes are:
Die Sizes
108.0
112.7
114.3
117.5
My formula gives me 114.22, therefore, I should use the 114.3 die.
However, the VLOOKUP says 112.7, not the answer I want.
How can I adjust this VLOOKUP to give me the next size down? I am guessing a IF, but I am not the best at writing IF statements.

When I drag my VLOOKUP formula down a column in Excel 2010, the return value copies the formula result from the original VLOOKUP formula result. For example, if the first VLOOKUP returns a value of 0.5, I expect to see 0.5 or 1 in the cell below that one. However, I get 0.5 which is not the expected result for the cell below.
When, I click the fx on the cells below, the expected return values appear in the formula result. After I click OK, the expected formula results updates and now appears in the cell.
I'm not sure what is causing this issue. My computer was updated recently from an old machine to a new one. I have never experienced this issue before.

I have a spreadsheet with a VLOOKUP formula that I have to send to a customer weekly. They are required to type a code in column E of what they invoice, and it pulls the rate into column G based on a rate table I have. The formula is: VLOOKUP(E2,Rates!A:B,2,0)
When I made the spreadsheet, the formula worked perfect. But when they type their codes in and send it back to me, it's messed up. All of the codes they've typed in do pull the correct rate. However, if I try to go to column E and type a different code on top of what they typed (a code that IS IN the rate table), it will tell me: "The value you entered is not valid. The user has restricted values that can be entered into this cell".
If I create a new tab and mimic the exact formula and columns as I am trying to work with, it works perfectly. But for some reason, once they've typed their data into my spreadsheet, something messes up even though the formula is perfect, dragged down, etc. All columns are formatted as text. And the range in the rate table is correct as well. When I try to mimic the formula in the other tab, if I click a cell in column E, there is a drop down list there showing all the available codes from my rate table to choose from. But on the spreadsheet that is messed up has no drop down list on the cells.

some call databases from my internal telemarketing team, which are all on Excel databases. These contain multiple contacts within the same organisation, with no "unique identifier", i.e. there is no information specific to individual records EXCEPT their email address - and unfortunately, not every contact has an email address, which would prevent using VLOOKUP, which is the only function I can use to perform this type of lookup.
I have five separate spreadsheets, plus one master database spreadsheet. I have added five columns to the end of my master database, and I would like to use each column to identify which spreadsheet(s) the individual records appear in - normally this would be possible by using a VLOOKUP in each of the five new columns, selecting a unique identifier, and using the VLOOKUP function for each separate spreasheet. However, without a consistent unique identifier, I do not know another function which would allow me to use multiple identifying info (e.g. "FirstName" + "Surname" + "Company") to perform this task.

I am using VLOOKUP to find the size of a cam to be installed in a tablet press, based on the product code it will be running.
The array has two columns: (W) Product Code, (X) Cam Size.
Array: W4:X437
The user selects the Product Code from a drop-down list in cell E5.
The resulting Cam Size is displayed in cell E7. The VLOOKUP works fine.
=IFERROR(VLOOKUP(E5,W4:X437,2,FALSE),"")
Occasionally, the cam size has to be updated. The user would then select a new cam size from a drop-down list in cell E9.
I have a "Update Cam Size" command button.
What I need to happen is for the value in E9 to replace the value in the array that is displayed in E7. Obviously, I have to know the location of the cell in the array, but I can't figure that part out. I've tried ADDRESS and MATCH functions, but it comes back with "#N/A" Value not available error.
=ADDRESS(MATCH(E7,W4:X437,0),2)

Excel 2000
Really simple data sheet: list of names with homerooms
Lookup table: list of homerooms with teachers. (named "Range")
=VLOOKUP(E2,Range,2)
Some of the cells return the correct name, others #N/A.
As far as I can tell they are all formatted exactly the same; I've tried
several different formatting options. The correct ones stay the same; the no
data ones do not change either.

I have a file I inherited that uses many VLOOKUP formulas. It was written in Excel 2003, and works perfectly there.
However, I just had to install Excel 2007, and when I open this file, all those formulas return #VALUE! errors.
Is there a known issue with VLOOKUPs in 2007 versus 2003?
An example of one of the errored formulas is:
=VLOOKUP($C3,ItemMaster!$A$1:$N$5800,2)
It should be noted that the first row of this range is the column titles, rather than data. But as I said, the formula works fine in 2003.
What's completely bizarre is that if I edit the formula to either of the following, it works fine:
=VLOOKUP($C3,ItemMaster!$A$2:$N$5800,2)
=VLOOKUP($C3,ItemMaster!$A$1:$N$5800,2,FALSE)
Changing the first row of the range to row 2, or adding the FALSE at the end makes it work. But why would it work in 2003 and not in 2007?
This is an *enormous* file, and this is just one example of a *load* of formulas that are returning errors (so far, all seem to be related to VLOOKUPs - at least the ones I've found so far). It's 25MB worth of complicated formulas, with external links to Access databases for the source data, just to give you an idea of the scope. So going through and trying to find and then change every error that might be occurring just because 2007 doesn't like it is going to be a complete disaster. You never find them all. It might be simpler to just downgrade back to 2003!

what I would like to do is view a cell result in my userform with out deleting my formula
It works perfect from the excel side but I just cant get it right from the user form side
Ok so cell D6 contains a vlookup formula. I want the vlookup result to appear in my userform. I can get this to work but it overrides the vlookup formula with the result. This means that when I go to use it again it just shows the same result.This is what I have:
Cell D8 has a Combobox with a list of names to select from
this is the formula in cell D6 =VLOOKUP(D8,B107:I754,2,FALSE) This retrieves the selected customers account number from the combobox. I need my userform to display the account number with out erasing the formulas because I will need to search for more account numbers after.
I have named the textbox in my userform Customeraccountb

I have a problem:
Cell A1 has this formula: =MID(B11;8;3)
with this value: 428
Cell A2 has a lookup-formula =VLOOKUP(A1;Tabell;2)
Result is #N/A
Why??
If I overwright the formula in A1 (the MID-formula) with 428 I get the result I expect.

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.

Below is the data I have.
Say I need to get values from Column C. VLOOKUP'ed values return the first value, but i need it to move on to the next result if the first one = 0.
so I will get
123 - not 0, but 0.22
234 - 0.1
345 - 0.....

I have a formula that I'm trying to utilize VLookup to determine a specific bonus. The issue I'm having is when looking for the closes match, it is returning the value below where it should because it's rounding down. For example, the string I have reads:
=VLOOKUP(S5,'Rep Daily'!A1:B61,2,TRUE)
The value it's defining is 17.7485, so it's returning the bonus for 17.5 instead of 17.75. Even when I use the =Roundup function, it's showing 17.75 in the cell but the actual value of the cell is 17.7485 so VLookup is returning the lower of the two values.

I have put a VLOOKUP in place for a range of cells. Where the referenced cell has no entry it puts #N/A in the sheet. This is causing me further problems, is there a way to get all entries which equal this to leave the cell blank?

Hopefully you will be able to help again. Is it possible to do a vlookup that references data on other tabs within the worksheet so that the result of the formula is in the cell not the formula.
So if my vlookup was =vlookup(a2,$a$1:$b$12,3,0) and the result was john smith i want just john smith in the cell. I know about copy and paste values but i was looking for a more automatic way. One that doesn't need intervention.

Code: =VLOOKUP((LEFT(C4,6)),'Data from 7500'!$B$16:$G$195,6,TRUE)
And it works great, except that the data returned is off by one row. For example, the correct value for the sample name in B107 is located in G107, but the formula returns the value in cell G106. I've tried changing the TRUE to FALSE and that returns #N/A.

My VLOOKUP formula is displaying in the cell instead of the result. The formula is VLOOKUP(A1, income_codes, 2, FALSE) and in the formula editor the result (00017) is calculated correctly.
However the cell displays =VLOOKUP(A1, income_codes, 2, FALSE) instead of the answer 00017.
My view options are not set to display formulas. The codes are formatted as text in the range income_codes as they start with zeros.

I have a formula that calculates a revenue per day by taking total revenue devided by total days, from that I have another cell doing a VLOOKUP on that to find what tier that value falls under almost like a grade book, however I need the division to be rounded up if greater than x.xx5 because when I do the VLOOKUP sometimes it drops the product to the lower tier when I needed it rounded up. example:
=IF(ISERROR(Data!H6/Data!E6),"",(Data!H6/Data!E6))
if the value of those were to actually equal 1.256 I want to be able to have the VLOOKUP return the tier for 1.26 not 1.25

I have a vlookup worksheet like described in this thread: [URL] .... This works perfect. I would like to be able to jump to the vlookup result using a hyperlink.
In the thread worksheet the formula in C2 is like
=VLOOKUP(A2,INDIRECT("'"&INDEX($G$2:$G$9,MATCH(TRUE,COUNTIF(INDIRECT("'"&$G$2:$G$9&"'!C2:C100"),A2)>0;0))&"'!C2:D100"),2,0)
In cell D2 I placed the formula (font: webdings )
=IF(C2="","",HYPERLINK("[Workbook1.xls]"&("Sheet2!"&(ADDRESS(MATCH(C2,Sheet2!$D:$D,),4))),"i"))
(Due to the Dutch Excel I use I replaced ";" to ",")
The link works because I hardcoded "Sheet2" into the formula where the result can be found. But it would be much nicer if I didn't had to put the sheetname into this formula.
Is it possible to use range G2:G8 like in the first formula to achieve this? I guess you have to use INDEX and/or INDIRECT but I barely understand the first formula ...

I have a three or four letter abbreviation of a last name in A1. Column C contains a list of Last Names; column D contains a list of corresponding First Names; and column E contains a formula concantenating the First Names and Last Names from columns C & D.
I have the following formula in B1:
=VLOOKUP(A1,C1:E44,3,1)
I am attempting to match up the three or four letter abbreviation with the concatenated list to return the full name (First and Last) in cell B1, however, I'm not getting the desire result. I keep getting the name in the row just above the name I want.

=IF(VLOOKUP($A177,$A$736:$C$787,3,FALSE)=0,"",VLOOKUP($A177,$A$736:$I$787,3,FALSE))
to return the value located in the 3rd column of the range when the value in the 1st column of the range matches the data in A177.
However, there isn't a match for the data in A178 in the range, so the formula returns "#N/A". I would like the cell containing the formula to remain blank in those instances.
