I want to Vlook a value from a cell in another workbook then before I get the formula result I would like it to concatenate the result with another cell.
I have attached an example
AlEXAMPLE.xls
"Smith B" is text in C1.
My current formula in C3 is a simple reference to a cell in another workbook:
=+'Z:Time Records2007[Smith B.xls]Daily Time'!$C1352
I would the formula to refer to C1 to get the "Smith B" part.
This would allow me to copy the formula to the right and reference different text as it looks at D1, E1, F1, etc.
To say it another way. I want to know if there's a way to make a formula that would result in looking at the file Smith B.xls by inserting a refernce to C1 in it?
=+'Z:Time Records2007["C1".xls]Daily Time'!$C1352
I am trying to do Vlook up but the reference cell indicates formula error even if this has values.
I have to do F2 in every cell to make the Vlookup work. Is there any way to remove this?
two formulas for one data set. The data is attached in the spreadsheet: "Product IDs". The data is a set of Master Product IDs (parent) and the Linked to them Products (children). I need to create a relationship between unique parents (Master Product IDs) and their children (Linked Products)
I need to create two formulas:
1. From the Data Set table, need to vlookup the unique value in column A (Master Product ID) and return comma delimited (concatenated) corresponding values from column B (Linked Products). So, the result will be as shown in Table 2.
2. From the Data Set table, need to vlookup the unique (de-duplicated) parent/children relationship in column A (Master Product ID) and return comma delimited (concatenated) corresponding values from column B (Linked Products). There are total 3 parent/children relationships in Table 1. So, the result will be as shown in Table 3.
Trying to do Vlookup with If but dont know how , I can do the concatenate function and then Vlookup as in Sheet 3 but that is too much of load to deliver in quick time specially i have pull data in dynamic and continuous update.
View 14 Replies View RelatedI would like to Vlookup an association of data in a matrix where not all information is available. e.g:
Vlookup of following data (concatenate):
A1&B1&C1&D1
A2&B2&C2&D2
A3&B3&C3&D3
but in the mapping I would have a wild card (*) in certain columns (not always the same column)
The concatenate would be for exemple:
A1&*&C1&D1
A2&B2&*&D2
*&B3&C3&*
I know it works on the other way around (Vlookup of concatenate with wilrdcards) but I can not have wildcards in my source data.

Trying to get columns 10, 11 & 13 to join so it says "Mr Noddy Bigshoes" (Salutation, Forename & Surname).
I am trying to use a Vlookup and concatenate 3 cells from Sheet B onto one cell in Sheet A. I have managed to get it to work, but the leading Zero's are being dropped. I have formatted the cells on Sheet B using custom format and "00000" but they are not coming through on Sheet A.
Here is the formula I am using
=CONCATENATE(VLOOKUP($L$1,[EFT_Exceptions_20120413.xls]EFT!$A:$BE,10,FALSE))&"-"&(VLOOKUP($L$1,
[EFT_Exceptions_20120413.xls]EFT!$A:$BE,9,FALSE))&"-"&(VLOOKUP($L$1,
[EFT_Exceptions_20120413.xls]EFT!$A:$BE,11,FALSE))
I have drop down fields using a vlookup to grab the corresponding data in a colums next it which is being concatenated into a one big cell. The problem is a set of other columns that I need to pull data from but its dependant to a previous column. In the attachment you see which ever region is selected the following column data is grabbed and the same goe for title. Now when the location is selected the info in its column should be selected that corresponds to the row that the specific title is on. example
if selected: North America>Secretary>Texas
results: A Crazy Mix->;typical,Notepad, pen,square dance
Say in L4 on form test i want to look for the value of A4 in Drill data range a2 to z1000 and retun a concatenated string of something like "sav 407 : 08-may to 11-may"
View 3 Replies View Relatedwhat i am trying to do is use concatenate in a vlookup to search for a resource number and date, then return another column in the array.
the formula looks like:
=VLOOKUP(CONCATENATE(D7,$H$6),Roster_Allocation,7,FALSE)
but only results in NA.
if i search for the resource number only, i get the correct result.
also, the res# and date are concatenated in the table array. could this be related to the way excel is storing the dates (40241?) even though both concatenated fields look the same?
i have also tried adding a new coumn which has the res# and dates concatenated as the lookup value but still all NA.
I have the following formula that works. However, I would like to automatically change a portion of it depending on the cell value. Let's say in cell A1 the user types in "IS 12-19-13" I would like to change the workbook name "IS 12-18-13" in the formula.
=IFERROR(VLOOKUP(BQ17,'[IS 12-18-13.xlsm]Summary'!$B$3:$D$21,3,FALSE),0)
what I am trying to do but I'll give it my best shot with examples.
A1 = date
B1 = drivefolder[A1.xls]sheetname'!cell
The 3 vlookup will be in a single cell for concatenation like :
=vlookup1&"-"&vlookup2&"-"&vlookup3
Problem the are 3 vlookups where it will return names (with format -> Fname, Given Name Middle) and probably blank returns.
I have problem with the replace since there are also spaces between the Fname,Gname and Mname sample name with spaces.
I would like to reference information from another workbook. Instead of writing the Name of the other workbook I would like to reference through a Concatenate formula (e.g. CONCATENATE("Test"&G2&".xls")). I always get an error message. Is there any way I can reference from another workbook by using the Concatenate or any other formula?
View 5 Replies View RelatedI 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

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 am using a Vlookup to pull through information from a worksheet, but I am wanting to vlookup in column a on 12 different worksheets to then pull back corresponding information.
Example
12 worksheets - January through to December.
On each worksheet the first colum is a unique reference number 00001, 00002, etc depending on when we have ordered the goods and each column after that has amount order etc.
In a completely seperate workbook I want to input the unique reference and it to bring back certain information. I have used Vlook up for this, but this only appears to work when searching one worksheet. Is there anyway I can get it to search the whole workbook and bring back the information?
I'm creating a look up function for the staff where you enter in the zip code, and it returns a series of answers (the state the zip code is attached to, the shipping code to use for regular shipping, next day air, and IF it is available for that zip code, the codes to use for Saturday shipping).
My problem is the fact that I'm looking up zipcodes. I have the cells, both the one where you enter in the zipcode to look up AND the entire column of the 29,000+ zipcodes formatted as "zipcode". However the cell where you enter in the zipcode.. it shows the "0" in the cell, but Excel thinks it's four numbers.. it's not recognizing the "0" in the function line. This means Vlookup is trying to find a 4 digit number, and not the 5 digit one I am asking it to, thus I get #N/A as a result for any zip code starting with "0". Every zipcode that starts with 1 or higher looks up just fine.
I have it set as FALSE so it will return the #N/A when you enter in a nonshippable zipcode, or one that doesn't exist.
If I change to TEXT, then it will not look up anything past "0" in the list, so all answers higher that 070xx (new jersey) come back as #N/A
I'd really like to have just 1 look up, not two, one for Zipcodes starting in "0" and one for zipcodes starting with "1-9". Does anyone know what I can do here? I've tried combinations, but am I just missing something? I'd rather not go back and just drop the 0 in the lookup column of the zipcodes to make this work.. I spent hours reformatting this whole column to show right int he first place.
I have a workbook with 2 tabs
The 1st tab has the following info

I have a database containing dates and activities (text) on the speciified dates.
In some cases a date might have more then one activity therefore I need XL to (on a separate sheet?) merge the text.

I have a query and not sure if it can be done.
I did have alook across the search forum and web generally and didnt come up with too much luck only found the following [url]
What i am trying to achieve is the following
I have a list of names which i need to do a Vlookup against
the first part works fine
=VLOOKUP(C2,'[ALL_CFA Sales-IM User Profiles edited 2008_11_09.xls]Sales'!$G$2:$H$516,2,0)
Where i come stuck is that some names will be on another worksheet on the same workbook.
I.e i have done a vlookup against sales profile on the first worksheet, but some names shall be on the next worksheet as their "Job Profiles" will be different
Is there a way to extend the vlookup across multiple worksheets in the same workbook,
No two names will be duplicated across the worksheets (unless by pure chance i.e if there happens to be two Steve Smiths this will be two different people and not one indivdual)
On sheet one, I am trying to match the employees job code for that particular week in cell K2. The vlookup/match is trying to find the particular job code for that employee number for that particular week ending.
Cell A2 (sheet 1, shows their employee #),
Cell J2 (sheet 1) has that particular week ending.
Cell K2 has this formula in sheet 1:
=VLOOKUP(A2,Sheet2!A:C,3,MATCH(J2,Sheet2!$D$1:$D$5,0))
Sheet 2
Column A = employee numbers
Column C = job codes (which I need to appear in cell K2 for sheet 1)
Column D = has the week endings to match against column J in sheet 1
is it possible to use the VLook up function to look at a range of numbers - I.e.
30-40, answer = 15%, I have tried 30-40 also 30,40 but none seem to work?cualte?
Sheet 1

In Sheet 1 there's a Column B with data I'd like to pull using a VLOOK-UP formula. However, I need it too look-up not only the exact number match in Sheet 2, but also the cell directly above it and the cell directly below it. In the sample above if I placed the VLOOK-UP formula in Sheet 2 (at for instance the numbers 23455, 23456, 23457), I'd need it to pull data from Sheet 1, Column B (for the 23456).
I am having problem with vlookup.
Cell 1 contains 134 cell 2 contains account number.
can look up value be in 2 columns? It has to be the exact match for both cell in order to generate the data. Thanks.
what VBA is required to have a combo box in a userform look up data in a different workbook, then populate that data into the drop down list of that combo box for a user to select.
I have managed to successfully create a vlookup for a combo box in a userform that looks up data in a named range in another worksheet within the same workbook and then populate that data into a field in a worksheet within the same workbook. However, I want to change this so the combo box on a userform (in one workbook) will look up data from a named range in a second workbook without opening the second workbook. At the moment, the code I have that will 'submit' the user selected data from the combo box drop down list works.
The code that has worked so far to vlookup data for the combo box from a worksheet within the same workbook is:
Code:
Private Sub UserForm_Initialize()
Dim pName As Range
Dim ws As WorksheetSet ws = Worksheets("vlookupsheet")
For Each pName In ws.Range("ProjectName")
With Me.cboProjectName
.AddItem pName.Value
End WithNext pName
Me.cboProjectName.SetFocus
End Sub
Do I need specify the file path of the second workbook that will contain the data for the combo box as well as the name of the worksheet and named range in that second workbook?

I Want to be able to put in Col A the concatenate results of all equal P/N's from any given list. Or at least select the few cells that i know are duplicates and from that copy the Location to a single Column.

I have 6 columns:
A1 = LastName
B1 = FirstName
C1 = LastName2
D1 = FirstName2
I need to concatenate into 1 cell so it looks like this: FirstName LastName;FirstName2 Last Name2. Now the challenge is that there are many instances where C1 and D1 are blank (don't have values).
So here was my attempt at a formula:
=IF(A1>""&B1>"",CONCATENATE(B1," ",A1))& IF(C1>""&D1>"",CONCATENATE(";"&D1,"",C1),"")
Now this works, but it ALWAYS leaves a semi colon at the end (even when there is no C1 and D1 to concatentate. Thus I put in my IF statement the "".
