VLOOKUP Using Text Lookup Field Beginning With Zero?
Mar 13, 2014
Having difficulty with a VLOOKUP that uses a text lookup field beginning with 0. For all the other numbers formatted as text I use this function:
[Code].....
For the one that begins with a 0 I have to use this function:
[Code] .....
This is a problem for me, because I need to be able to copy the top function to all of my sheets without having to edit the ones where the lookup field begins with 0. I could alter my VBA to specifically search for those cases and adjust, but that seems unneccesary.
More info - The beginning column of the Table Array (i.e. the lookup field I'm searching for) is a function of another cell; both cells are formatted as text. Here is the function:
[Code] ....
I have to put a single quote in front of the lookup field, so that "064" is not displayed as "64" even if the cell is formatted as text. I have another instance where I am looking up "'791" and it works fine with the first VLOOKUP above. Even if I remove the single quote this will work. However, once there is a leading zero the function no longer works and I must use the second VLOOKUP listed above.
Example below of the data I have. I need to convert dates into DD.MM.YY (8 chars) for SAP. I receive spreadsheets where the date is dd/mm/yy and I use the replace to convert the "/" to ".", then format this column as TEXT. My problem is some of these sheets have hundreds of records and rather than individually scroll through and look for data that requires the "0", is there a way to insert this. I can custom format that it looks as it has the zero, but it is not in the true data.
1.10.12 data should be 01.10.12 11.10.12 this is correct 3.11.12 data should be 03.11.12 3.06.12 data should be 03.06.12 etc
I'm trying to create a lookup formula where it matches the beginning of words and returns the value of a cell I choose. This is my layout. In Workbook1 in column E I have a list of medicine names which i'm putting in from personal medical lists. These names are not "complete", i.e. they aren't the exact names of the medicines. In workbook 2, I have a sheet with the exact names and corresponding codes of the medicines. I want to return the code of the medicine. The beginning of the names of the medicines are the same, so I want to lookup the the X first letters of the medicines I write in manually (Workbook1 column E) and find it in Workbook 2 column B and return value of Workbook2 column A for that medicine (on the same row).
I have a macro that imports a report. If the Charge Type in column A is BTOREPLX, I need to prefill the field next to it in column B with the text "REPLX", e.g. "REPLXCDROM". I've attached an example of the report.
I have a column which contains a series of alphanumeric characters some start with the alpha characters and others end with them.
As an example ABS1234, 1234ABS, 12k34AB needs to be ABS1234, ABS1234, AB12k34. The number of alpha characters at the end will be a minimum of 2 and a maximum of 3. Is there some way that I can move the Alpha characters, at the end, so that they are always at the beginning of the string?
My cells have up to 14 spaces If a cell as 1 or 2 characters -I want to add 6 spaces in front of text. If a cell as 3 or 4 characters-I want to add 5 spaces in front of text. If a cell as 5 or 6 characters-I want to add 4 spaces in front of text. If a cell as 7 or 8 characters-I want to add 3 spaces in front of text. If a cell as 9 or 10 characters-I want to add 2 spaces in front of text. If a cell as 11 or 12 characters-I want to add 1 spaces in front of text.
I have a simple code that should insert the text at the beginning of the text file (the text file already has some text in it). When i use the following code, it just appends the line to the end of the text. I need it to append it to the start of the text file.
Code:
Private Sub CommandButton1_Click() Dim file As String lastrow = Range("D65536").End(xlUp).Row - 4 file = "C:Users11126923Desktop est.txt" Open file For Append As #1 f = "hi test3" Print #1, f Close End Sub
Some code below which I have inherited, basically its looping through one column of data and removing the text at the beginning before the hyphen eg. '123 - data text' to 'data text'.
HTML Code: 'Remove everything before the hyphen in the activity column Dim SearchStr Dim CharOffset As Variant Range("c7").Select
Excel offers many ways to use a key to lookup a value (VLookup, Index/Match, DGet, and the rest). What's the fastest way to perform a lookup of a small table of, say, 30 rows of key-value pairs? Theoretically, it would be most efficient to use a branch table (also known as a jump table). See the wikipedia article for branch tables: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Branch_table. Does Excel/VBA have a way to create a branch table for such lookups?
I want to create a formula that I can place in D1 that looks at the table below and finds the last instance of the number 1 and returns the value of 600,000.
Im tryinig to set up a time sheet and need to have a barcode number that is scanned replaced with a name. Is there a way to look up the barcode scanned into a field (such as C3) and have that barcode number be replaced by a name?
I am looking for formulas for cells B21 and B22 that will return the value from column A corresponding to the occurence of the highest/lowest value of Index compared to cell B:19, that is, the most recent Index data.
This seems to be an excellent candidate for LOOKUP as the data in Column A are unique and sorted.
Then, we have cells B:25 and B:28. On what "Week Ending" did the Min/Max value occurred?
Bonus Question, if Excel encounters more than 1 value that satisfies the formula, what happens?

I need to sum the Time field, if the Temp Zone is = F. My problem is, as shown on the sheet, there are multiple days. As well, I need to pull the information for the totals (looking at 6 days worth of info) into another worksheet where the names (first column) are not in the same order, as some of the names are on this sheet, and some are not. I had a massively large vlookup statement, but of course, it's rather large and doesn't copy over well (when changing the days, it looses the last couple of lookups) ......
1. First worksheet is the Data worksheet. It is a matrix of threats vs sections. Each threat has a few initiators. Eg. Threat - Fatigue Initiators - stress, tension, failure.
2. There is a separate worksheet for each section (E1, E2...) 3. In these section worksheets, the information of threats and initiators is displayed.
4. Problem: I would like to setup a vlookup for each the initiator field for each threat in the E1, E2 etc worksheets such that, all the initiators that have a yes in the data worksheet are displayed against the respective threats.
I have already added the developer tab to excel, but under insert the last three options under Form controls (Text Field, Combo List - Edit, Combo Drop-Down) are shaded out.
I played an online simulation game a few months back that was driven by Excel. In the simulation game interface were screens and on these screens, the players of the game could enter values into boxes on the screen. When the user pressed Enter, it would update the simulation game with your choice and if you wanted, could immediately type in a different value and press enter.
My point is, like in a normal Excel spreadsheet, when you press enter, it goes to the next cell below. In this game, the (whatever it's called... active cell?) would stay in one cell when Enter was pressed.
Is this a text field? I've looked all over on how to put a text field in a specific cell. I've went to Developer tab and on the Insert the Text Field (Form Control) is unable to be selected so I guess my question is, how do I add a Text field to a cell if it's possible? Very similar to a Search box. When I enter alphanumeric characters in the text field (cell) and press enter, it activates a button which runs my macro.
I am working on making a time sheet log that will have employee name, 7 rows for days of the week and a row for total hours worked. each cell will either be blank in that row because employee has not worked that day or it will have numerical hours and the place the employee worked. We have many different job sites so text is subject to change. For example Monday employee 1 worked 8 hours at MRCR, so cell would state 8 MRCR Tuesday did not work so left blank. Wednesday worked 8 hours at CCR so will be 8 CCR. Thursday worked 8 hours at CU. so 8 CU in cell. Friday Saturday and Sunday left blank. How do i add create a formula that would be standard formula for each week for employee that would add numbers and omit text as well as ignore blank cells from week to week as the employee schedule changes.
As the subject states I am having trouble pulling in a text field from a database. I need to pull it based on 2 criteria (date and workcenter). I tried using a nested MATCH function with the INDEX function, but with no success. The problem is that there will be multiple rows in the database that meet both of the date and workcenter criteria.
Nevertheless, the data in the column I am trying to retrieve is consistent and would add value if it could be pulled into a cell via a formula.
If the index/match formula operated like a VLOOKUP and would pull the data in the first match found I would be good to go.
I am trying to display text in the value field within a pivot table. I do not want a count or any number to display. What I am basically trying to create is a weekly schedule for nurses, with the dates on the top and times along the side, with "call type" and client as the text data to display with the value field.
I have attached an excel file with all the data on Sheet 1 and my attempt at a pivot table on Sheet 2. Perhaps there is some way to write a macro to display the data in a similar fashion, without using a pivot table?
I am looking for a solution to split text from numbers.I have found a couple examples on the web but I cannot get the examples to work with the correct syntax to function.
Sample cells. The string could be any integer or floating point number with text. (The text is always after the number.)
I need excluding text from a cell and come out with a random number up to 3 numbers. Please see the attached image;
If you notice in column D there is text and a number that starts with a decimal, for example on the first row is .437 the next row is .215 next row is .63 etc... Is there a way to come out with a random number mixing it up to 3 digits and output those number on column "E"? Im only interested in filtering and coming out with the random number i mentioned .437 .215 .63 etc... not the +/-.010in.
There is no right or wrong number, i just need to come out with random number using up to 3 numbers up.
Maybe for .437 three numbers up could be .440 for the next row .215 maybe a number up .216..etc..
Hope there is a way to do this, my excel file is too long to type a number manually.
So i have a raw data dump that I need to put in a spacific reporting fashion. Excel pivot tables seems to almost do the trick. The problem is the information that I need to drop in the "data" field is text (peoples usernames) and when I drop it in I get numbers instead of names, and when I drill down on the number then I get the exact format I need but only for that line... Any ideas? I am using Excel 2000
If pivot tables will not work does anybody know of another was to get raw data in a mapping type of spreadsheet?
