I am using VLOOKUP to match Account names in two tables.
If the names are made up of letters or letters+numbers the names match.
If the account names are purely numbers the names do not match.
All names are formatted as text.
I have tried using TRIM, numbers still do not match.
i want to do a vlookup but the column i'm looking up is text instead of a number? i tried it and it doesn't work or is there some limitation with the character being only 16 max
example
column a

1. Look at the "Days so far" section
2. Ignore cell C1
3. All the other cells in that row are shaded blue. Look at these.
4. Look at the "Volunteer" row - all the cells in that row are shaded blue. Look at these.
5. Wherever a name - any name - appears in the "Volunteer" row, 1 is added to the previous number in the "Days so far" section and the result is displayed in cell from the "Days so far" row above that Volunteer's name.
6. For example, we begin in C1 with a count of 12 days so far - this was manually entered
7. In cell H5, we see Henry has volunteered 1 day. The total no. of days so far should now be 12+1. Therefore, the number in H1 should be 13.
8. In cell G47, we see Joseph has volunteered 1 day. The total number of days volunteered BEFORE Joseph volunteered is 15 (see cell D43). But now, with Joseph volunteering 1 day, the total no. of days so far should now be 15+1. Therefore, the number in G43 should be 16.
9. what formula l must put in the "Days so far" row (excluding cell C1, which is manually input) to give me the "should be" results predicted in that row? I'm guessing it will be a formula which looks at each row fragment of the "Days so far" row, row by row, right up to the previous cell in that row, all within one formula.
P.S. I just want to leave the "Days so far" row blank, for any columns where there are no volunteers in the "Volunteer" row, so please don't give a formula which inserts zero for days with no volunteer, and then sums the cumulative total.
I know vlookup can find specific text in a column when the formula resides on the same sheet. But for my actual application (a 15 page price list) I was attempting to use vlookup on sheet 2 and have it find specific text on sheet 1. Note that sheet 1 will be having additional rows added through out the table over time, so vlookup cannot use a specific cell location.
My attached example can simulate the problem by sorting the table by name (A-Z).

Hello,
What I am trying to do is
Search the number written at ColumnB in ColumnA and if found write YES to column C
if not write No
I need to to highlight keywords within a block of text (string). I don't need to necessarily return a value with the VLOOKUP. I just need to compare keyword list in Column B to the Text in Cell A1. If the word from the list appears in the text, I need it to be highlighted for every instance.

I think VLOOKUP only works on lists.
If I use Vlookup to find something when:
Lookup Value is formatted as General and
Lookup Array is formatted as Text
Excel will find the thing I'm looking for.

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
My problem is that my VLOOKUP formula will not return any data when it doesn't like the format of the data it's looking up.
Example: I have a spreadsheet that displays revenues earned by assets.Every month I export a table of data from an accounting software program with (a) asset numbers, (b) invoice date, and (c) monthly revenues.Then I copy the data into Tab 2 of my spreadsheet.On Tab 1 of the spreadsheet there is a table that lists Assets 100 through 120. Column A has all the asset numbers.Each month it varies as to which assets earned revenue and which one's did not. Usually between 10 and 15 assets earn revenue in any given month and about 5 do not earn revenue.On Tab 1 there is a column with VLOOKUP formulas that looks up the asset number in column A of Tab 1 and points to Tab 2 where the data that was exported from the accounting software program is located.Let's say that in July 2012 that Asset 1001 earned $35,000.On certain months, the VLOOKUP formula looks over to tab 2 and "returns" the $35,000 revenue with no problem.On other months, it will not return anything, apparently it does not like the formatting and does not "recognize" the asset number.
I am trying to reference a Name of a place from an order number. To illustrate, University Park, IL can have an order # of 6598641373. The only thing is, all I need to reference is the first four digits, 6598. The other worksheet does not have city and state names, they only have the order #s.

The CTRL+F function only works on cells. Does something similar exist for text boxes? Or can this be made in a macro?
I am trying to return the value (date) of a construction schedule by searching for a specific construction activity ID number. Is there a method I can use which incorporates a text search so that as the schedule grows (cell locations shift down) the lookup function still follows the unique activity ID?

I have a list of English game results with the score and the soccers of the game.
E.g. : [Steinsson 34, Davies 41, Elmander 46; Fuller 91]
As you can see in the excel, what Im trying to do is to find the time i.e which is the numbers in the field and display them seperately onto the cells beside. So what i need is to Find and extract these numbers 34,41,46,91 and paste them just beside cell on the list.
I can use formula but i can only display 1 number, so i think this might require a VBA script.Thanks in advance guys..
I've got a problem which I'd like to do without using VBA if possible. I have 2 rows, one with text and one with numbers. I need to go through all the text, find the text that matches and add the number in that row.
That's very poorly explained so I've given an example below:
text 1 20
text 1 10
text 2 10
text 1 20
text 2 10
I need the formula to do this:
text 1 50
text 2 20
I am having trouble getting my IF statement to test if the cell contains the text "sale" return "X" if not "Y". I need it to search through the text string in that cell and find a certain word, and if it finds that word, retrn a value. I am really having difficulty with is what symbol or function do I use for the logical test? (i.e. =, <>, MATCH, INDEX?)
View 4 Replies View RelatedI've used the below, for example in Column E, the actual data starts in row 4, so I can't use the full E:E syntax:
=IF(ISERROR(INDEX(Data!E$4:E$65000,MATCH(9.99999999999999E+307,Data!E$4:E$65000))),
INDEX(Data!E$4:E$65000,MATCH("z",Data!E$4:E$65000)),
INDEX(Data!E$4:E$65000,MATCH(9.99999999999999E+307,Data!E$4:E$65000)))
The above basically checks for a number, and if fails (there could be #N/A, #DIV/0!, text, or Number-stored-as-text in any cell here), it checks for text. (the 65000 is arbitrary; we will never have more than a few thousand rows)
However this is not reliable--the main problem seems to be number-stored-as-text. And it's not possible for me to do the Paste-Special Multiply *1 trick to convert the numbers because this data is dynamically generated from a database--the user would have to do that every time the sheet opens.
Is there not some formula that simply says: "Give me the last non-blank cell after row 4 in column E, regardless of what type of data"? (Excel 2007)
I have a spreadsheet with a couple of hundred rows on each tab that looks like this: A1: #1 PENROSE TIJUANA MAMA PCH 2620039190 665794 12.00 CT 1 Front 1 1 1. The only constant is the 10 digit number followed by the 6 digit number in the middle and I want to use it to parse the text string. I want the output to be everything prior to the 10 digit number in A1, the 10 digit number in B1, the 6 digit number in c1 and everything else in D1 and so on through the rows.
View 4 Replies View Relatedwhat I am trying to do but I'll give it my best shot with examples.
A1 = date
B1 = drivefolder[A1.xls]sheetname'!cell
to update these values via a form in this sheet. I can find the correct row to be edited by entering a value from column A and B. The problem is if I want display the values of that row first and then change it. If I want to change row 10 data how can I bring back the value in ROW 3 AND THE COLUMN VALUE? The next step would be to do the actual update if I want to change ROW 10 to "Ooi" and a sales value of 200?
This is what I have done so far:
Dim myRows As Integer
With Sheets("Mrt")
'Retrieve history information for row
For myRows = 4 To 49
If comboxDay.Text = Range("A" & myRows).Value And textboxdescription.Text = Range("B" & myRows).Value Then
textboxbedrag.Text = Range("C" & myRows).Value
chkBTW_Ja.Value = Range("D" & myRows).Value
txtNota.Text = Range("S" & myRows).Value
End If
Next
End With

I have 2 columns of data
column A = weeks (A2:A50) i.e. P1W1, P1W2, P1W3....P12W4 etc
column B = headcount (B2:B50) i.e. 5, 7, 5...10 etc
Essentially my criteria is "looking for last week and give me headcount" i.e. my lookup criteria is P7W5 ....however if P7W5 has no data, i want the lookup to go up or offset to the row above (it may be one to 4 rows above)....
I am using VLOOKUP to find the size of a cam to be installed in a tablet press, based on the product code it will be running.
The array has two columns: (W) Product Code, (X) Cam Size.
Array: W4:X437
The user selects the Product Code from a drop-down list in cell E5.
The resulting Cam Size is displayed in cell E7. The VLOOKUP works fine.
=IFERROR(VLOOKUP(E5,W4:X437,2,FALSE),"")
Occasionally, the cam size has to be updated. The user would then select a new cam size from a drop-down list in cell E9.
I have a "Update Cam Size" command button.
What I need to happen is for the value in E9 to replace the value in the array that is displayed in E7. Obviously, I have to know the location of the cell in the array, but I can't figure that part out. I've tried ADDRESS and MATCH functions, but it comes back with "#N/A" Value not available error.
=ADDRESS(MATCH(E7,W4:X437,0),2)
When I use VLOOKUP formula within a VBA routine ex:
For LoopCounter = 1 to LastRow
With Worksheets("0MATERIAL")
.Cells(RowCounter, 5).FormulaR1C1 = "VLOOKUP(RC[-2],'0MAT_UNIT'!R1C1:R65520C12,4,FALSE)"
End With
RowCounter = RowCounter + 1
Next LoopCounter
How can I find out what row or cell address that the VLOOKUP found the data? The above code works perfectly but the problem is I need data from that same row in columns 4-11. I replicated the .Cells line above and made each one a VLOOKUP (for column 4, 5, 6, etc...) but this kills the performance. I have around 32,000 rows in sheet 0MATERIAL and around 50,000 rows within sheet 0MAT_UNIT
For example
Name Address Phone # zip
Danielle 4561
Danielle 9852
Danielle 22
Danielle 69
Joe 895
Joe 28
John 9821
John 1114
John 698
Say I did a search for Joe. I want to report back all the addresses in which he resided but there's no way to tell how many rows of data each person has. Joe has 2 rows, Danielle has 4 rows and John has three. How do I report back all the relevant rows?
I have a column C with different text in cells (item's title). Column D - relevant description for each of the items. 100+ rows.
Now, unfortunately, often a spreadsheet with items is updated with many new items. So I get a new spreadsheet with old and new items mixed. I need, somehow, to import descriptions of the old items (Column D of the old spreadsheet) to the new spreadsheet from old spreadsheet. So I want excel to look for old items in column A of the new spreadsheet and, once found, insert a description in the column B from old spreadsheet.

I am doing a vlookup on a cell range where the value I'm trying to lookup (a date) exists, but it's not an actual number in the cell...it's a reference to another cell with that value (somewhere completely different).
So, I'm trying to vlookup(date(1/1/2011),A1:A12,2,false) to get the B column value.
A B
1/1/2011 #
2/1/2011 #
...
12/1/2011 #
However, the A column is not the actual date. It is a reference to another cell somewhere completely different that has the actual date 1/1/2011.
When I do a vlookup trying to find 1/1/2011, it can't see it there unless I overwrite the reference in A1 (for instance) with the actual date.
Can I do a vlookup and keep my cell references?
I am trying to do a vlookup and am having soem issues. I have data like this in the cell i am using as the reference: "60030 - COLUMBUS, OH". The first column of the range I am searching would have "60030" in it. What i need to know is how do I get the vlookup to just reference the first 5 digits in the reference cell? As you can see by the formula below, I set the logical value to true hoping that it would find the closest value, but it did not work. =VLOOKUP(A7,sdoalign,3,TRUE)
View 2 Replies View RelatedI was wondering if there would be a way to use vlookup and still be able to type text in the same cell. For example, if the vlookup gives me a result of 123. I want it to also pull from a different cell that I've typed in 321. So the resulting cell would show 321-123 or 321 123. I have attached a sample sheet. On sheet two where the 3 items are, I want it to display 321-123 for item 1, 321-234 for item 2, and 321-345 for item 3. The 321 would be dependant on what I type into B1 on the first sheet.
View 2 Replies View RelatedI am trying to run a VLOOKUP that allows me to reference all text (which can vary in length) in a cell up to the first '' from the right of the string. Also note that the master table of data being retrieved from is in another workbook. For example:
TestSalesDealsPlans - I just want to reference Plans (5 characters up until but not include '')
TestSalesDealsOrder Management - I just want to reference Order Management which obviously has more characters than the above example 'Plans' (16 characters up until but not include '')
I am fairly certain I will need to nest several functions such as RIGHT, VLOOKUP, MATCH, INDEX, etc but just not sure the most effective way to go about this.
I do have a price list for my inventory for each product code (only letters)
E.g. productA 100

I need to get the corresponding price for each cell.
