VLookup Won't Recognize Text
Feb 12, 2013
I created a lookup helper sheet to do some data cleanup and serve as a key for future use.
The problem I'm having is that things that I am doing a vlookup on won't find the corresponding value in the key table.
So in the original sheet I had "blueberry" in the helper/key sheet I have "blueberry" as well. But I still get the "#N/A" error.
The key values in the helper sheet were all derived from the original by using a pivot then copying those values so there were only unique values over to the helper sheet.
I had them both formatted as general and tried formatting to text as well.

I am working with a friend on their spreadhseet which uses several vlookups in order to pull information cells in one worksheet to another, and also to pull object types from a list with values saved as an array. However, one item in the array consistently does not appear.
I noticed that his array has 4 columns, unsorted, where I would have used 2 (one with the object type, and the second with the value corresponding to that object type) and then sorted them.
The error he gets is "A value is not available to the formula or function", even though the value is in the array.
I have already eliminated formatting, spelling errors, bad formula (it works for the other types), and all I can come back to is the array.
The file is too large to attach, so I am attaching some description of the formulas and the structure of the array.

Supose I have the example in the attach file. If I try to "insert" a new column between cols "D" and "E" the vlookup results must remain the same.

I am continually getting data withthe format YYYY-MM however I cant get excel to recognize this as a date. i simply need a formula that converts the format to anything that excel will recognize as a date so that I can apply some other formulas to it.

I'm trying to figure out a formula to be able to look at a column of txt and if it finds the word total it need to output the number at the column next to it. If the word total isnt in the text then it should leave it blanks (see below). Basically I want a column that pulls only the totals amounts in the column.

I want VBA to take an equation that has been entered into an worksheet cell as text and evaluate it. Here's a very simplified example that shows the concept:
Cell A1 may contain the text: "A * B + C"
I would like to do something on the order of this in VBA:
Sub Test()
Dim A As Integer, B As Integer, C As Integer
A = 2
B = 4
C = 6
MsgBox Evaluate(Workbooks("Book1").Sheets("Sheet1").Range("A1").Value)
End Sub
Obviously, this doesn't work, but I want it to show a result of 14. The actual situation is much more complex, but it all comes down to being able to evaluate the text in a worksheet and recognize the variable names that are in it.

I am working on the monthly duty roster that is attached. I have the cells at the bottom configured to total how many early shifts, late shifts and off days each Trooper has. My problem is that I often need to add text to show what type of leave is being taken, or numbers to correspond to the special notes section numbered 1-24, and so on.
Is there any way to use conditional formatting to do this so that the totals at the bottom still sum correctly? Badge numbers are used to identify each Trooper. I have included them at the top for reference. The reason that I referenced them to total by cell instead of individual badge numbers is that I am attempting to format this so that any badge numbers can be entered at the top. This form will be used by other groups of Troopers if I can get it to work.

Any recommendations on vlookups being able to recognize a value that does exist within a table? It returns an N/A and the formatting is the same for both references.

I am trying to write a macro for excel, deleting columns of #N/A generated in a text file. I'm having a hard time identifying the #N/A in the cell. I've tried
If Cell.Value = "#N/A" and tried if IsError("A1").

I am trying to filter data in one sheet depending on a variable in another. But even though I have the same formatting in both sheets it will not recognize the number. I have tried everything from pasting values, to pasting the same formats in both areas, using the F2 option, but nothing seems to work. My single value is in Sheet1 B2. The rest of the data I'm filtering is in Exceptions2 with the filter criteria residing in column A. I have headers in row 1.
Sub Recall_BT()
Sheets("DataEntry").Unprotect
Sheets("Exceptions2").Visible = True
Dim rr As Range, r1 As Range
Dim r2 As Range
Dim r3 As Range
Dim rCell As Variant
rCell = Sheets("Sheet1").Range("g3")
Dim sh As Worksheet
Dim wsCopyTo As Worksheet
Application.ScreenUpdating = False
Set sh = Worksheets("Exceptions2")
sh.Select
sh.Range("A1").CurrentRegion.AutoFilter Field:=1, Criteria1:=rCell
Set rr = ActiveSheet.AutoFilter.Range
Set rr = rr.Offset(1, 0).Resize(rr.Rows.Count - 1, 1)
On Error Resume Next
Set r1 = rr.SpecialCells(xlVisible)
On Error GoTo 0...................................

I am having trouble creating a formula to help me recognize the 4 cells that I have.
On C1, I need this cell to identify the numbers in E1, F1, G1, and H1.
On E1, F1, G1, H1 each of the cell have a number.
If all the cells (E1,F1,G1,H1) have a digit, does not matter what number it is, than C1 would automatically place "ABCD" and in white.
E1 = A
F1 = B
G1 = C
H1 = D
any time a cell has a digit, then C1 would tell me which of those cells are used with A,B,C, or D.

I realize there are a number of threads on this topic, and I've read through them but have been unable to apply those answers to this problem. I've attached a sample of the worksheet in question. The worksheet is supposed to tell me if messages are supported via a certain Network (BFX).
Column A is the result of a VLOOKUP function, which returns Yes or No if the entry is found, or #N/A if the entry is not found. Column B is my attempt to translate column A into strictly "Yes" and "No", converting an #N/A into a "No". For some reason, the ISNA( function I'm using doesn't seem to work, as highlighted in row 18.

=SUMIF($A$2:$A$9,F2,OFFSET($C$2:$C$9,1,0))
It works great.
The issue is that the information (time) that I import into excel doesn't show as information if there is a zero in front the amount of hours. I can physically see the information but have trouble using it. For instance if I add
(A1) 05:25:25
(A2) 10:25:25
(A3) 02:25:25
If I total/SUM this my total is 10:25:25. It will not recognize anything under 10 with a first digit as a zero. So for me to add this I use:
=SUMPRODUCT(B3:B25+0)
This also works great. Now on to my issue.
I am using the 1st formula to grab data i.e. (A1). It will not recognize that as anything. It comes up as zero. I can't figure out what to add to the 1st formula for it to recognize the info.

The issue: Theres about 300 rows of data arranged in multiple columns. One column has a dollar amount and another column has a code. Data gets entered into the sheet periodically so every new dollar amount needs to be transferred to another sheet by recognizing the right code.
What I want to do: I want excel to recognize the dollar amount and attribute it to the code in the same row. Then sum and transfer that amount to another sheet and if possible add it to an existing amount the in the correct cell.
The final outcome should be that any user of the document can just copy and paste data into one sheet and the document automatically generates the costs in another sheet. And if possible every dollar amount should be linked to a code so a user can just click on the amount and see where it came from and under what code it falls under.

I have created several functions in VBA that operate on arrays created by other functions in VBA, however they don't recognize cell ranges as arrays. For example, the UBound function doesn't work with a range argument within my function.
How can I get my functions to recognize cell ranges as arrays, as well as arrays that I have created directly in VBA?

I have spreadsheet A with 14 columns of data ie Col A to N, in Column I there are file names. Somewhere within the file names is the client code. The file names do not conform to a standard naming convention so the client code is not always in the same position or the same number of characters long. I have a separate spreadsheet (spreadsheet B) that has the list of client codes in column A and the associated business unit code in column B.
I want to be able to find the client code within the file name of spreadsheet A and then add the associated business unit code to column O

I am comparing two years' data, one on top of the other (Rows 1 and 2). For each cell in each row, I am referencing a cell from a different tab. This needs to be done with about 290 data items, so 580 rows.
When I attempt to copy the two rows down, it doesn't go in the correct order (skips a cell reference number). It looks like this:
Excel Forum Q.xlsx
It would save me a lot of time considering each of the 580 rows has about 30 different column with each cell referencing various things.

I am importing from another program into Excel. Anytime I have a time in a column with a 0 in the 2nd hour place it will not add that time in. Example (05:21:32)
A1 10:20:12
A2 05:12:15
A3 10:15:12
Total= 20:35:24
How can I get excel to recognize a time in this format with a zero (05:34:23)?

I haven't figured out a way to do this, but my goal is to (ideally) use a "IF" statement that will recognize the 1st "2" on the list and ignore the repeats
To better explain what i mean by this, attached to this post is a Excel file which clearly describes what I'm looking for

I am trying to take a report that I can run and paste the data into excel. It is basically the same as if I went to a web page, and pasted some data into excel. Technically it pastes everything into 1 cell but I am able to break it up using Text to columns. The problem is that I have been unable to get excel to recognize the data as anything other than text (I.E, numbers and numbers and dates as dates). I've tried formatting cells and removing spaces.

Attached a workbook of what I see. On column A and B there are dates with time on a "m/dd/yyyy hh:mm:ss" format.
Until a while ago excel 2010 would recognize the dates and I was able to find the time difference between the 2 just by typing =B1-A1 (column C)
I think due to a Microsoft update (?) I cannot do it anymore and excel will not recognize the info?

The problem I currently have is all numeric values only are not being recognized on my password column. I have tried changing the cell formats but still problem still there. The program work if an alphanumeric value is declared as password. However if you simply indicate plain numeric values only as password, it returns incorrect values, it like it doesn;t recognize all numeric values. Also how can I make 0000 as a declared password? when I place 0000 on my password column, only one zero value is being displayed instead of four another thing if I happen to place 0123 only 123 is being displayed.
