VLOOKUP Wont Work If The Cell Contains A Formula

Mar 27, 2009

I have a VLOOKUP formula, so when the cell above (C5) has a value, it returns the value from a defined list. Simple so far and it works great when I manually input the value in the cell (C5).

The problem occurs when I change C5 to contain an AVERAGE formula? Any ideas why it will only work when there is a plain old value in there, but not a formula?

This is the VLOOKUP formula I'm using:

Using Formula With Cell Reference To Work In VLOOKUP Function

Jan 30, 2014

I have problem with a spreadsheet that I am trying to create.

I have a large sheet of data which is dumped in from another program. This contains our deliveries and orders etc.

Now for planning purposes, I would like to see how much of each item I have on order.

I can use VLOOKUP, but that will only give me the amount for the first order it encounters. But not the 3rd, 4th etc. I could use SUMIF but I need the dates as well. After doing some searching I think I have found a way of doing this: I can get the first easier enough:

=VLOOKUP(D$11,'purchase order'!$A$1:$K$6000,5,FALSE), this gives the first order than the another =VLOOKUP(D11,'purchase order'!$A$1:$K$6000,11,FALSE) for its date.

For the second column to check any other orders I thought I could find the cell referance for the first SEARCH: which is

A108: ="A"&MATCH(D11,'purchase order'!A:A,0).

Is there any way of using this Reference to start a new VLOOKUP. So the Lookup Range starts at this reference?? To make things harder it is on another sheet.

Does VLOOKUP Not Work If Too Many Characters In Cell

Sep 25, 2007

I have a VLOOKUP formula that works when searching some cells but not others when both cases should work.

Q: Does VLOOKUP have a certain maximum amount of characters it can search? If a cell contains more than this amount of characters will VLOOKUP not work?

This is what seems to be happening on my spreadsheet. The VLOOKUPS that refer to the cells with more than the average amount of characters seem to fail. The same happens with INDEX.

Excel 2003 :: VLookup Doesn't Work But Cell Seem To Be The Same

Oct 16, 2013

I am having difficulty with a Vlookup in Excel 2003. Basically I have converted both fields to Text using the text function =TEXT(A2,"0") and have tried matching the values but just get an #N/A error and I have also converted both back to number format but still get the #N/A error....when I do a "=" operator function it returns a FALSE value but I cannot see why as both cell are just 4 or 5 digit number.

VLookup Work With Multiple Numbers Within A Single Cell

Aug 15, 2009

I built an Excel Macro to pull information from my schedule and compile it within another Worksheet. The Macro below searches for an instance of "Unavailable" and then populates my Data Worksheet with the WeekDays (ie: M-W-F or ALL Week), the Details (ie: Vacation or Training) and the Name of the employee. I struggled with a way to populate my employee name as "unavailable" isn't always offset by the same amount of characters to employee name (as it is with WeekDays and Details). Instead, I collected the row in which "Unavailable" was found.

I used the Vlookup function to populate the number of Absences and it worked swell.

=VLOOKUP(C2,O:P,2,FALSE)

C2 is populated with Weekdays (ie: ALL week or M-W-F)
O contains a list of possible day combinations
P contains the number of days

I hoped to use a similar function to populate my employee names. This didn't work well a 'tall.

=VLOOKUP(A2,L:M,2,FALSE)....................

Work Out A Formula For My Spreadsheet Which I Use To Work Out Cutting Lists For Timber Frames

Jan 11, 2009

i need to work out a formula for my spreadsheet which I use to work out cutting lists for timber frames. I need it to work out if the width of a job is for eg 2400mm i need to work out how many timber studs I need so the space between each stud is between 400mm and 500mm and this will need to work for a range of different sizes of frames. I have it written at the moment and it just devides the width by 400 and gives me a amount of studs but it would work much better if it could space them between 400 & 500.

IF Formula Only Work If Particular Cell Is Less Than 50

Aug 7, 2014

See the attached workbook.

Please edit the formula in column B so that it only gives a BINGO if the adjacent cell in column G is less than 51.

So cell M16 should not be a BINGO because cell G16 is not less than 51.

Vlookup Formula In VBA - Object Error (input A Formula Into A Cell)

I'm having some trouble trying to get excel to input a formula into a cell. I'm still a novice at VBA right now, so I don't think my problem will be too much of a brain buster.

Vlookup That Pulls Data From Another Work Sheet

i have created a Vlookup that pulls data from another work sheet, it all works fine apart from this one thing....

On a work sheet i have a lot of hyperlinks that work fine, but as soon as they get pulled over using a Vlookup, the name of the hyperlink comes accross for example "link 1" but you can not click on it to take you to the link like you can on the original one.

VLookup To Work For Multiple Ranges On Different Sheets

Feb 23, 2012

Code:
Private Sub Worksheet_SelectionChange(ByVal Target As Range)
If Intersect(ActiveCell, Sheet8.Range("C16:Y1000")) Is Nothing Then Exit Sub
Dim rw As Integer
Dim arw As Integer
rw = 16

[Code] .....

As you can see, my code is located in the sheet8 worksheet object. Now, I have a few questions about this. Because I am located in the sheet8 worksheet object does that mean my code can only work in sheet8, i.e., the following won't work because I am in a Sheet8 worksheet object?

Sheet10.Range("B12) = ..... ....... .....

This is not returning a value in Sheet10? My question is how do I make my code return a value in Sheet10?

Text Or Number Formatting For VLOOKUP To Work?

Aug 4, 2012

My problem is that my VLOOKUP formula will not return any data when it doesn't like the format of the data it's looking up.

Example: I have a spreadsheet that displays revenues earned by assets.Every month I export a table of data from an accounting software program with (a) asset numbers, (b) invoice date, and (c) monthly revenues.Then I copy the data into Tab 2 of my spreadsheet.On Tab 1 of the spreadsheet there is a table that lists Assets 100 through 120. Column A has all the asset numbers.Each month it varies as to which assets earned revenue and which one's did not. Usually between 10 and 15 assets earn revenue in any given month and about 5 do not earn revenue.On Tab 1 there is a column with VLOOKUP formulas that looks up the asset number in column A of Tab 1 and points to Tab 2 where the data that was exported from the accounting software program is located.Let's say that in July 2012 that Asset 1001 earned $35,000.On certain months, the VLOOKUP formula looks over to tab 2 and "returns" the $35,000 revenue with no problem.On other months, it will not return anything, apparently it does not like the formatting and does not "recognize" the asset number.

Data Validation With Nested IF Statements Or VLOOKUP Does Not Work

Jun 12, 2009

Excel spreadsheet will contain a form that will consist of drop down boxes (data validation). Each drop down box will define the data that can be selected in the next drop down box.

The way I initially went about it, is creating nested IF statements. However, we all know there is a limit of 7 nested IF statements. I have 10! So below formula does not work:
=if(B5=1,F5:I5, if(B5=2, F6:I6, if(B5=3, F7:H7, if(B5=4, F8:J8, if(B5=5, F9:H9, if(B5=6,F10:G10, if(B5=7,F11:H11, if(B5=8,F12:H12, if(B5=9, F13:I13, if(B5=10, F14:K14))))))))))

I tried other workarounds such as CONCATENATE, or & signs. No luck. VLOOKUP does not work also, because there are multiple columns in col_index_num. Anything else I try gives me this message:
“The List Source must be a delimited list, or a reference to a single row or column”

What should really happen is this:
User selects value in first list box. Second list box shows values associated wih the value from the first drop down only.

IF(VLOOKUP) Formula That Also Copies Cell Background Color To Target Cell

Jul 4, 2014

I am currently using this Formula to Search a table on sheet 2 (Tabelle2) and copy the date in the relevent cell (Cells) into the correct cell on Sheet 1 (Master Sheet).

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

Used in cells E10:AZ30 and E33:AZ46

This works perfectly and is the formula behind all relevent cells in Sheet 1.

I would like to keep this but to add that it also copies the background color of the cell in Sheet 2 to the cell in sheet 1.

If i can Bring this Formula into VBA and add the color changing part, It must only work on the cells listed above..

VLOOKUP And Formula In Same Cell?

Mar 14, 2012

Currently I am using a VLOOKUP to return a value, and I am trying to apply a calculation formula to the returned value. Below are both the VLOOKUP formula, and the calculation formula. Each of the formulas works well while in separate cells, however am I able to combine the two formulas into one cell?

Formula1.
=VLOOKUP($G20,'P&L FEED'!$C$2:$K$100,2,FALSE)

Formula2.
=($D20/$I20)*(-$H20)

So first I am using the VLOOKUP to return a value from a range, and that returned value I want to apply the second formula to.

Is it possible to join both formulas into one cell? IF so, how?

VLookup Formula That Will Search For Value One Cell To The Right

Sep 29, 2011

I get new worksheets on a regular basis which are of the same format (same columns with headers) and I have to perform both vlookups and sumifs on them. Their are about 12 different tabs I perform the vlookup on based a vendor name in A2 and its corresponding tab. I am tired of typing the same thing over and over again.

What I'd like to write is a Control Panel with all the equations so I can just copy/paste them in when I get a new sheet.

How can I write a vlookup which would search for the value which is one cell to the right of where I put the formula in?

Similar to:
=vlookup(current cell over one, 'vendor1sheet'!A:C,3,0).

I would then want to copy it down the worksheet. Currently type in column E everytime I get a new sheet:
=VLOOKUP(F2,'Vendor1'!A:C,3,0)

The catch

Column A has the vendor name, there are about 12 vendors, each with a different tab with related data which I am searching through.

Ultimately, I'd like to have an equation that would do the vlookup (and sumif) as described above and also use the vendor name in column A to look on a particular tab.

Something like:
=vlookup(one cell to the right,'VendorTabFromVendorNameInColumnA'!A:C,3,0)

I was going to use nested if statements on a control panel sheet with a column for the vendor name and a column for the vlookupformula and than paste a single formula all the way down column E:

In column E, every row:
If(A2=vendor1, 'controlpanel'!vendor1equation), if(A2=vendor2, 'controlpanel'!vendor2equation), etc.

Again, the vlookups would all check for one cell to the right of where this nested if statement was (located in column E, looking in F).

How To Use VLOOKUP For Cell Value Which Is Derived By Formula

Mar 6, 2014

I'm wanting to lookup the content of a cell, which is a string, "Name", resulting from a formula within that cell.

For example the first code is referencing the cell output from the second formula.

Code:
=VLOOKUP(N2,RandomTab!$A$2:$E$60,5,FALSE)

where N2 is

Code:
=UPPER(VLOOKUP(B2,OtherTab!$A$1:$H$68,8,FALSE))

presently it, the first VLOOKUP, returns #N/A

Vlookup In Cell With Formula Returns #n/a

VLOOKUP Where Reference MATCH Cell Has A Formula Behind It

Jan 11, 2014

I am trying to create a lookup formula where the cell value to match has a formula behind it.

For example: =INDEX(AR7:AR371,MATCH(G28,AE7:AE371,0))

The trouble I'm having is that the value in G28 is derived from a formula and the Index Match formula then gives a #N/A result. If I change the value in G28 (a date) manually, so directly enter a date, the Index Match formula works ok.

Is there any way of getting the Index Match formula to work, or Vlookup would also do although that at the moment that has the same problem with G28 having a formula behind it.
