VLookup, Return First Word In The Value
Sep 13, 2008
how to modify the below v looup formula so it returns only the first word instead of the whole value
=Vlookup($A7,DATA,13,0)
I am doing a comparison of locations but one sheet has just the Location, the other data is formated as Location-Address
I would just like to return the location as i have an IF formula which checks if both Match and because of this is returning false
Also ii anther part of my work book i am doing a look up on division, at present it is returning the Division name, However i would prefer it to just return the first 3 or 4 Initials of the look up
for example
if the division called err.. Apples Pears Plums Ltd i would like to return APP
if it were Apples Pears Plums Bananas Limited i would like return value to be APPB

Column B has values 1 2 or 3
I don't care about 2 or 3
If Cell B2=1 and cell C2 is blank, return the word "Fix"
If C2 has a value, leave blank
If B2= 2 or 3, leave blank
Then, as I "fix" these guys, it involvse inserting or deleting cells. which seems to screw up the formula

I am in need of a forumula. I am trying to extract one word before a keyword, one word after a keyword, 2 words before a keyword, and 2 words after a keyword.
For example:
The keyword is blue:
birds are blue today - 1 word before=are; 1 word after=today; 2 words before=birds are; 2 words after=today
blue is my favorite color - 1 word before=(null); 1 word after=is; 2 words before=(null); 2 words after=is my
see blue colors in the sky - 1 word before=see; 1 word after=colors; 2 words before=see; 2 words after=colors in

I am drawing a total blank here, lets say I have a column of cells:
A1 ("Word")
A2 ("No")
A3 ("No")
A4 ("Word")
A5 ("Word")
(they all have words in them). How can I return all cells (an array?) that contain a specific word?
=COUNTIF(A1:A5,"Word")
returns: 3
That function is almost perfect, except that returns a number - I need this to return an array of all of those cells that contain the word. Because I have another function to run after that takes in cells and THEN counts how many are a certain color (this one already works) - so it obviously cannot take in a number, it needs a list of cells
So it should return:
A1,A4,A5
But I'm not sure in what format

I have an Excel Worksheet with 80,000 lines on it. The Columns are arranged thus:
Col A
Col B
Col C
Col D
Col E
Col F
Code
Description
Cost
Rate
Mobile
0.13
1234
Australia Mobile
0.12
Not Mobile
[Code] ........
I am looking for an Excel Formula that will look up Australia & Mobile and then return the highest value of the range of cells it finds that meets that criteria and enters that value in the Rate column next to mobile (F3).
Then I just want a variant of the same formula that will look up Australia but exclude Mobile and then return the highest value of the range of cells it finds that meets that criteria and enters that value in the Rate column next to Not mobile (F4).

I have a code which selects a range within my spreadsheet, copies it and then pastes it into word. The only thing I can't work out is how to get it to then return to the Excel Spreadsheet that I have open.
Sub SetPrintcopy()
Dim appWord As Word.Application
Set appWord = New Word.Application
appWord.Visible = True
ActiveSheet.PageSetup.PrintArea = "$A$1:$F$398"
Range("A1:F398").Copy
appWord.Documents.Add.Content.Paste
End Sub

Attached is the mock excel spreadsheet. I want to read "sam" from the lookup column's long text "sam is good" and then write "4" in the next column. Similarly read "white" from the long text "white is tired" and write "1". And so on,,,,, For more criteria, see box highlighted in yellow,,,,I used VLOOKUP but what am able to make it work only when there is one word "sam" in the lookup column. It returns #NA when the text is "sam is good". It should write nothing if none of the criteria is met and should keep doing until the last cell in the lookup column.

I am trying to search text cells to return a word count within a particular row of cells and I am currently using the following formula:
=COUNTIF($D4669:$EI4669,$O$3), where cell o3 contains the word to search and $D4669:$EI4669 the data.
However, this formula misses data that contains characters such as "," etc.

Looking to find 1 of 2 words in a cell in column B and return the word found in the same row in column E. This seemed easy but I am not having any luck.
the cells in column B have several words in them but I am looking for 2 specific words "PLAT" and "ORIG". If the word is not in the cell, it should show a blank cell in column E in the same row, otherwise one of the 2 words should be in that row in column E. A VBA loop would be ideal but a formula that can do it might work as well.

I have an excel program that is supposed to count word instances in a word document. I can't seem to find the right declaration for a word document.
For example to declare a workbook in excel its
Dim wb As Work Book
I've tried
Dim doc As Word.Document
'or
Dim doc As Word.Application
as shown in some of the forum posts, but an error user-type not defined keeps displaying.

I have hundreds of records of customer info and I am trying to categorize the job titles so that I can conduct some analysis with a pivot table. My problem is that there is about 20 different ways and variations of "manager" so Instead of autofiltering for "mrg." "Manager" "marketing manager" ect. and then replacing the text manually and using the enter and fill process (to create some standardization to compare "manager" to "director" to "c-level" to "consultant", etc.) and repeating this process over and over again...
I would like to create a VBA that would search the column "job title" for multiple text strings at once and if the text string was true in the cell then the cell would be replaced by a new text string "Manager". I was thinking a series of if functions within one vba but I am not sure if this is possible.

Rather than explain, it's best to look at my simple example attached. Why am I getting #N/A in cell E6 when I want it to return "one"?

In C1 I have =OR(B10="MOODY",B10="AIB")
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.
Hours Agency
70.00 AIB
80.00 MOODY
40.00

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.

For some reason when i run a vlookup, it is only returning the first lookup value for the whole column. Not sure why this is happening.
See attached example. vlookuperror.xlsx

I have a spreadsheet with 2 tabs.
Tab #1 is a complete list of ALL possible pipelines
Tab #2 is a partial list that will ONLY have a pipeline listed if there was activity for the month
I need a Vlookup on Tab#1 that looks up the activity from Tab#2.
However, when a pipeline is NOT populated on Tab #2, I'm getting "#N/A" on Tab#1.
Instead of seeing #N/A - I need it to say "0" so that I can sum the column total.
I tried to look at Error Types...and found that the error type for #N/A is 7, however - I can't figure out how to make the formula work.

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.

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.

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.

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 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:
=IFERROR(IF(VLOOKUP(O16,'Sheet1'!$A:$Z,8,FALSE)=0,"",VLOOKUP(O16,'Sheet1'!$A:$Z,8,FALSE)),"")

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.

Here is my starting Vlookup Formula I. I need to alter it as I will state after the formula...
Code:
=Vlookup(A2,REPORT!$A$2:$D$10000,4,0)
Instead of returning the data from column D upon the first match I need the smallest available number to be returned. There will be more than one match and they will all have different numbers to return so I need the smallest return from D.
So in "REPORT" there is many duplicates in Columns A but they all have different values in Column D and I need to return the smallest number from Column of all of those duplicates in Column A.
