VLookup Function That Searches For Two Variables?
Dec 9, 2013
I need to figure out a vlookup function that searches for two variables and return an answer. such as the example attached;
vlookup -- 12253 & 605.34 (if these are matching then) 131001

I would like to ask recommendations whether to use DSum or Vlookup, in order to do multiple search.
We receive a flat file on a daily basis, which contains four (4) columns. They are Group, Team, Taskname, and Number_of_Employees. The first three columns have text properties and the last one has number property. We copy this sheet into our workbook. There are more than 1,000 rows. I name this tab, "TotalWorkersbyTask".
Each group (first column) has its own tab. We try our best to name each tab to match the name of the first column.
We would like to find the unique value, in order to put the correct Number_Of_Employees into the correct column on each sheet. However, the relationship per column is many to many, which makes it more difficult.
For example,
Group,Team, TaskName, Number_of_Employees
12GR, Robert, Analyze raw data, 2.5
12OV, Tim, Analyze raw data, 1.25
12OV, Bob, Prepare reports, .85
16CJ, Jim, Prepare reports, .50
1008, Mary, Analyze raw data, .25
............
Each tab, such as 12GR, will have the task name on the line "Analyze raw Data" which matches the information "TotalWorkersbyTask" tab.
The problem is, if I do a Vlookup for Taskname only, only the first value of 2.5 will return in to the Number_of_Employees column.
For the tab of group 12GR, the logic supposes to be -> if the group is 12GR, and the name of the task equal to the one appeared in "TotalWorkersbyTask", return me the value of 2.5 in the specific row. With the same logic, on the tab 12OV, the same task name should return me the value of 1.25 as well.
As you see from the example, line 2 and line 3 are the tasks in the same tab, from the flat file received.
Then, this formula can be copied and populated into other rows and other sheets as well.
*********************
Questions:
1. Is there anyway to write the formula to gather the required information? My thought was using the Vlookup. However, it can see only one column.
2. Do I need to rename all the tabs to match the name of the first column received from flat file in order to make it more efficient? (In the present, there are some tabs that match the name, such as 12OV, and some tabs are something like ->Engineering, Research, etc.)

Can a Function give two or more output variables. e.g.
Sub a()
x = 5
result = Y(x)
End Sub
Function Y (x As Integer) As Integer
Dim B
B = ... * x
Y = ... * B
this will give back Y as a result. But if I want to get 2 or more output variables (let's say I need to get also B into sub) from one function, how should I do that?
I need this because function works with large matrix and I want to extract some values appeared in between.

vlookup with 3 different variables, for example cells k4 k5 and k6 can be changed to give different variables. Is it possible to have a vlookup function in cell k9 which returns the correct % when the 3 variables are chosen. example, blue boat 48 would return %value of 21%

I need to be able to do a look up in 9 different table arrays using 9 different ranges.
I have attached a worksheet to help explain. My problem is that I can't have 9 IF statements in one formula.
I am not sure how to make this smaller or work.

I'm having trouble with my logic again :/
AREA
Tp std
Tp
30
5
So I want the Tp in the 3rd column to show the result:
IF AREA is less than or equal to 20, Tp=Tp std / 2
IF AREA is between 20 and 40, Tp=(((AREA-20)/(40-20))*(Tp std/2))+(Tp std/2)
IF AREA is 40 or greater Tp = Tp std
But as one equation
I have just been struggling with the range part.

I have and Indirect function that works.... I need to modify it to include a cell address reference, but this requires the use of a Vlookup function to find the address ....
I have this formula: but it does not work
I'm not sure how to include the VLOOKUP function in my argument to
[/quote][/code]=INDIRECT(CELL("contents",B3)&"!&Address(VLOOKUP(B16,'1'!B:AE,match(RAY_ANALY!D2,'1'!B2:AE2,0),0)")

This was a snap in Lotus. Unfortunately, the VLOOKUP and HLOOKUP formulas don't translate to Excel on conversion. I need to estimate the weight of reinforcing steel in concrete based on 7 different sizes of rebar and spacing of the bar between 1" and 24".
I have created a matrix(lookup table) with the bar spacing listed in decimal equivilents in feet on the top row.Inthe row below, I have numbered the columns from 1 to 24. the next row is blank. Along the left side of the matrix, I have listed the bar sizes 3 thru 10. Within the table I have listed all the bar weights/SF of concrete. IE if the slab has 1 mat of #5 rebar spaced 6" oc. If you look in row 7, under column 6, the weight of weight of the bar in that sf of concrete is found. In the part of the worksheet where the caculations are performed set up as follows:.....

I am trying to use VB to vlookup between to workbooks
1. Make active workbook WBK1
2. Make workbook being open WBK2
3. Copy and Paste between WBK1 and WBK2
4. Have a vlookup in WBK1 and bring in the values from WBK2
5. Close WKB2
6. Copy, Paste, and transpose values in wkb1 within wkb1
The script works fine until it reaches the vlookup step. I have used the vlookup by itself without the copy and paste code successfully but when I combine the two it provides me with the error 9. Subscript out of range.

I wrote my function as it is shown below:
Function MyFunction1(r, n, xrange, yrange)
If r <= n Then
For i = 1 To 5
MyFunction1 = MyFunction1 + xrange(i)
Next
Else
For i = 1 To 5
MyFunction1 = MyFunction1 + xrange(i) * yrange(i)
Next
End If
End Function
This is just a very basic idea of what I need to do, so it might not make sense why I am doing it, but I am just trying to test that the function works. Anyhow, the thing is that it works with something like this when I input it in a cell in a worksheet: =MyFunction1(RAND(),0.5,{5,6,7,8,9},{10,20,40,50,100})
However, if I try to define the range or set {5,6,7,8,9} with other cells, it does not work. so for example if I try the following:............

I am trying to make the "A4:A" portion of this line of code generic so it can work in multiple different files. I have defined a variable FirstGridRow that will take care of the '4' but I need to find a way to splice it all together. Essentially I am stuck trying to tack on the ":A". The first piece shows where I am coming from and the second is where I am trying to go to.

I am using VB to insert a function into a cell on an excell worksheet. The relative references work fine. For the absolute reference, I want to use a named range (LowTotal). If I simply put the name into the function, then I just get the name as text in the function. The second insert formula is were the named range is intended to go. Here is the code so far...
I need to know how to use the varriable name in the .formulaR1C1, so that VB knows it is a variable and not just text....

I am having a hard time getting my match functions to work with letters and numbers in the same range. I am also trying to figure out a way to have the ranges switch if there is an error. because the data is in multiple columns. It is hard to explain so I have attached a sample workbook.

I have a worksheet that has 6 columns of numerical data that all column
datasets are referenced together for each row. So for example the data
in row 5 in all colums is related.
Column C through F have 4 numbers that refer to the data in the first 2
columns. These are also ordered by row.
I need to look in column A for 0.00, and column B for 3.14 Both of
these must be in the same row or I need the closest value. When these
values are found in columns A & B, return the values from the same row
in Columns C through F.

I have quite a number of 4th degree polynomials and attempting to extract the variables from every equation. I used the formula below (from another thread);
=LOOKUP(99^99,--("0"&MID(A1,MIN(SEARCH({0,1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9},A1&"0 123456789")),ROW($1:$10000))))
but it only extracts the first variable.
4th degree polynomial function: f(x) = ax^4 + bx^3 + cx^2 + dx + e
Example of one of the equations: Y = -42.4276 + 319.989 X - 809.094 X^2 + 942.247 X ^3 - 397.587 X^4
I'll like to have the final result like below (Based on the Example equation above)
edcba-42.4276319.989-809.094942.247-397.587

let me start by saying that I know an example workbook would be useful here, but the part I'm struggling with is the [managementroster.xlsm] file, and there is A. no way I can release it to the internets and B. its so huge/complicated I couldn't even begin to reproduce a portion of it, scrubbed of data, and hope to maintain its functionality in a meaningful manner.
[Code]....
This formula checks a staff number on this spreadsheet, and then goes and looks at the staff number on the roster. Once found, it returns that staff members roster, but changes any manager codes in the MRC list to Mgr, and changes all other roster codes to Free.
I now need this formula, before altering roster codes to Mgr or Free, to only return codes that are a match for another table (or after really. I don't particularly care, so long as only codes are shown that match data from another table). I think an index/match function would do the trick, but this forumula is already at the edge of my excel ability, nesting another function within it is completey beyond me. The relevant cells for the index/match function would be:
This first Match function targets the column. $E3 is the date required, $BA$1:$DN$1 is the range the dates are entered in
Match: Lookup value = $E3
Lookup array = '[ManagementRoster.xlsm]Vacancies!'$BA$1:$DN$1
match type = 0
This second Match function targets the row. $A$4 is the department name, $B$434:$B$452 is the range where all departments are entered
Match: Lookup value = $A$4
Lookup Array = '[ManagementRoster.xlsm]Vacancies!'$B$434:$B$452
match type = 0
Index: array = $BA$434:$DN$452
So I think my final function is
[Code] .....
But I have absolutely NO idea where it would fit within my first formula, or how to code it so that my original formula only reproduces results that are found in both sheets, or anything.

I would like to use a varible Cell for the following forumula:
ActiveCell.Formula = "= ROUND(PIExpDat(""TimeEq('""&Cells(RowNdxG,4)&F$2,F$3,F$4,F$5,0,)/3600,1)"
I have underlined the variable. This is not working but is rather showing up as a string value Cells(RowNdxG, 4).

Problem is Findstring finds cells that contain "SS1" AND "SS1 EXT". These are separate grades.
I need Findstring to only find SS1. Using xlWhole doesn't work for me, as the cells also contain other data. For example: " SS1 48 /"
CODE:
FindString = "SS1"
Findstring1 = "SS1 EXT"
With Sheets("Sheet1").Range(Rng4)
Set Rng = .Find(What:=FindString, _

To summarize - Columns B through E are current MLB Players who I am trying to compare with the data in Columns G though J. My goal is to both use index and match to find the following in Column L: A comparable player name using the criteria of having an exact match for both position and age, but the closest approximation match between Columns E and J.
I have deleted a significant amount of player data to be able to upload the document on this site.
I am trying to find a way to combined exact and approximate matches in one single formula, but have been unsuccessful thus far.

I love Excel and love learning new things to do in it to create some amazing number-crunching techniques. I have created a workbook with multiple worksheets [one for every month in the year]. I searched this amazing forum and succesfully implemented the search box macro to find and copy the found data on a separate worksheet.
My question is that the macro I found in the this post Creating a Search Box in Excel only searches for the data in one worksheet. How do I tell it to search for the inputted data in all worksheets?
Here is the first part of the macro. I was trying to fiddle around with the strDataShtNm but to no avail.
Code:
Sub myFind()
'Standard module code, like: Module1.
'Find my data and list found rows in report!
Dim rngData As Object
Dim strDataShtNm$, strReportShtNm$, strMySearch$, strMyCell$
Dim lngLstDatCol&, lngLstDatRow&, lngReportLstRow&, lngMyFoundCnt&
On Error GoTo myEnd
'*******************************************************************************
strDataShtNm = "Sheet2" 'This is the name of the sheet that has the data!
strReportShtNm = "Sheet1" 'This is the name of the report to sheet!

I have data created by a program where it gives me a column "Code" with different text categories (in this case names of people). One person appears multiple times in this column as it track each time they register a statistic for the sporting event. The statistics are text fields registered under the column Labels
So I have two columns titled "Codes" and "Labels"
I need to extrapolate from this data a count of times each statistic happens for a specific player.
Example:
Code: Labels:
John FGA
John FGM
Joe FGA
Joe OREB
Zach TO
What I need is broken down by player with counts of each category FGA, FGM, OREB ect specific for each player creating a box score for the event.

Is it possible to do multiple file searches in one macro? Or does the data get stored in such a way that they'd conflict? First I want to search a folder for other folders. Then I want to search each folder for a certain type of file and then run a macro that does a whole bunch of things to each file. Including saving the file as a different format in a folder with a similar but different name. Currently I have everything written except the loop that will go through each folder. I was kind of hoping to use a 2nd file search to do so.

I've been trying to get power query to search a list of parcel numbers on an assessor site: [URL]. The problem I'm getting, every time you put in a different parcel number, you get the same URL for the results. I want to extract just a few pieces of information for each parcel search, but I can't initiate a search through excel. I'm thinking the problem is in the Data source settings. How can just get it to show me the assessors page results for a single parcel search in excel?
