VLOOKUP Works In 2K3 And Breaks In 2K7

Oct 30, 2008

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!

VLOOKUP With Multiple Qty Breaks

Mar 17, 2012

I am working on a spreadsheet that has QTY discounts; all based on how much you buy of a certain Part#. The problem is that some Part#s use different QTY breaks. I am using VLOOKUP and I can only get it to show one QTY break level, and I need it to show multiple QTY breaks depending on the Part#.

Posted below is a sample of what I am working with:

QTY Part#
100 3
=IF(OR(B2="",A2=""),"",VLOOKUP(B2,A3:F10,LOOKUP(A2,{0,3;26,4;100,5;500,6}),FALSE))
Part# Description 0-99 100-199 200 +

VLOOKUP Only Works On One Value?

Mar 25, 2014

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.

VLOOKUP Works In Some Cells But Not Others

Apr 13, 2006

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.

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.

VLOOKUP Formula Works But Not If Type In New Data In Cell?

Aug 23, 2013

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.

Page Breaks When Value Changes

Aug 13, 2009

I want some code which will automatically insert a page break every time the data changes in a column. In column B- the data is structured as below;

DOG
<blank cell>
<blank cell>
DOG
<blank cell>
DOG
<blank cell>
<blank cell>
CAT
<blank cell>
CAT
<blank cell>
MOUSE
<blank cell>
MOUSE
MOUSE
<blank cell>

Etc

The code I want would insert the page break every time every time the data changed- but not where there is a blank cell. I hope this makes sense. I realise the blank cells complicate things- the blank cells separating the data cells are there because there is additional;data in columns C,D,E etc

Page Breaks Every Nth Row

Oct 2, 2007

I have a worksheet with 760 names on it. The first row are headers, 2nd row on is the data. I need to break the data up into 25 rows a piece, excluding the headers. I am making rosters, so each roster would have twenty five names per sheet. Of course I know I will have a couple of names left over, but this would help with the bulk.

Loop Breaks At Different Points

Apr 28, 2009

I have a sheet named SymbolList in which I list stock symbols in the first column, and have row headings in the first row. I use the following sub to get stock quotes from yahoo. I developed a loop that works in steps of 200 because yahoo has a limit of 200 stock symbols that can be acquired in each request. The loop should go through the whole list in loops of 200 until the last row or if by mistake there is an empty row. The problem I face is that the loop does not work in a consistent manner, for example if I use 200 as the step limit, the sub skips all loops and only gets the last one, if I use a limit of 100 the sub skips the first loop and then proceeds, it only works well at a limit of 50.

Finds Breaks In The Values

Dec 17, 2007

I have a macro that needs to walk down a list of values and when it finds breaks in the values, it will insert a formula for a calculation. The problem I'm having is getting the code to loop correctly until it finally finds the value "End" when it should stop (when I play around with the code, sometimes I can get it to continue the loop, but it blows past "End" and then it experiences an error because it can't end.

Sheets("Master").Select
Range("B1").Select
ActiveCell.Offset(1, 0).Select
AssetIDStartRange = ActiveCell.Address
X = 0
Do
ActiveCell.Offset(1, 0).Select
X = X + 1
Loop Until ActiveCell.Value ""
SortCriteriaName = ActiveCell.Value
ActiveCell.Offset(-1, 1).Select
ActiveCell.Formula = "=SUMIF($B13:$B5000," & """" & SortCriteriaName & """" & ",$H$13:$H$5000)"
ActiveCell.Offset(0, -1).Select

If ActiveCell.Value "End" Then....................

Filter Out Page Breaks

Apr 25, 2008

I'm importing a text document into excel, and I have these page breaks that start with a c in the leftmost space(no other lines start with a character in the 1st space) and 15 spaces underneath it are page headers. I'm trying to create a macro that scans the entire A column for any "C" in the 1st leftmost space, highlight and delete(move page up) that "c" and the 15 spaces following it. I want the macro to loop until it ends.

So far, this is what I got for selecting C:

Dim c
For Each c In Range("A1:A306").Cells
If Left(activecell.characters.value,1)="C" Then
c.Select

VBA Slows Down And Breaks After Many Iterations

Feb 18, 2010

I have a macro running in Word (and referencing Excel) that is meant to iterate 15,000 times. But, after 100 times, the process slows and stalls.

I have put in a few "DoEvents" and "ActiveDocument.UndoClear" in Word, and I set "Application.EnableEvents = False" in Excel. These settings got me up to 100 iterations (previously the program would stop after even fewer )

Does anyone have any ideas or suggestions? I'm not sure what information you'd need to be informed about the problem, and I don't want to tell you too much! Do please ask if I'm not being clear.

I have attached an example Excel file that shows what I am looking for. I have one sheet with a list of parts in inventory. Each part, we'll call them A-F, has a reorder point and will automatically detect whether or not the B column should say order or not. What I want is a second sheet that will list all the parts that need to be ordered continuosly, without the breaks where parts dont need to be ordered.

Force Page Breaks In Vba?

Mar 19, 2007

want to specify page breaks and set print areas when running a macro. Appears to work sometimes, but then breaks (hard and soft) pop up on their own). Currently using something like this to specify a 2 page wide view...

ActiveSheet.PageSetup.PrintArea = "$A:$Z"
With ActiveSheet.PageSetup
.FitToPagesWide = 2
Set ActiveSheet.VPageBreaks(1).Location = Range("P1")
End With

Can I force breaks to be more absolute (more accurately)?

Index / Match With Breaks In Columns?

Apr 9, 2014

I want to do a simple Index/Match with two collums. it works like this:

=Index(B3:B34,MATCH(A1,O3:O34,0))

But the problem is there are periodic break in those two collums that i dont want included in the function because i dont want to include those rows in any result. so i tried:

Index((B31:B34,B26:B29,B21:B24,B16:B19,B11:B14,B3:B9),MATCH(A1,(O31:O34,O26:O29,O21:O24,O16:O19,O11:O14,O3:O9),0))

and it returns a #N/A

Row Height Specifically For Page Breaks

Nov 20, 2008

I have a spreadsheet that I use for work that I have set the row height specifically for page breaks. I use the top 3 rows on each page as a header with that page info.

If I update it at home, then email it to work, the row height has changed. No real problem, I just go in and adjust the row height. Then if I email it back to home from work, it does the same thing.

It's just this particular sheet that does it. All of the other sheets that I use always keep their row height properties intact when emailing.

VBA Msgbox Syntax & Breaks Between Boxes

Feb 18, 2009

2 questions about msgbox's.

1 - While returning a msgbox, I seem to be unable to find the proper fashion of returning text, an integer or variable, and then more text. I can set the integer first with
msgbox(x) & "text"
Can't seem to get text, integer, then text.

2 - While returning multiple msgbox's, is it possible to make changes on the worksheet after each box? I realize this is in the middle of code which is running, so not sure if that's conceivable or not.
