I use Vlookup all the time but this is one has be stumped. On the attached spreadsheet I trying to lookup the description on sheet 2 (lookup data) and return it to description on sheet 1 (orig data). I have the both fields formatted as text so I'm not sure why it's not returning the value?

VLOOKUP will only work to a set limit number of text characters in a cell. So I can search for the value "*orange*" if the cells contain a reasonable amount of text, but as soon as this exceeds some limit, it returns BLANK. I've also tried using INDEX/MATCH with same problem. Is there a workaround or alternative function?
For example:
This will work and return the text in cell A2
A2: The quick brown fox jumps over the lazy dog. Orange. The quick brown fox jumps over the lazy dog. The quick brown fox jumps over the lazy dog
This will return BLANK
A2: The quick brown fox jumps over the lazy dog. Orange. The quick brown fox jumps over the lazy dog. The quick brown fox jumps over the lazy dog. The quick brown fox jumps over the lazy dog. The quick brown fox jumps over the lazy dog. The quick brown fox jumps over the lazy dog. The quick brown fox jumps over the lazy dog. The quick brown fox jumps over the lazy dog. The quick brown fox jumps over the lazy dog. The quick brown fox jumps over the lazy dog. The quick brown fox jumps over the lazy dog
How would I compare two text fields (old and new) and change the font in the 3rd column (Difference)?
For example:
Old: I can not figure 3 things out.
New: I can't figure 2 things out.
Difference: can not can't figure 3 2 things out.
I have 3 sheets ("zip", "report", "ches") in a workbook
I want "ches" column A to be filled with data from "report" column D if there is a match of "zip" cell A12 from "report" column S
I keep getting the error
"unable to get the Vlookup property of the WorksheetFunction class"
Private Sub Worksheet_Change(ByVal Target As Range)
Dim myRange As Range
Dim myRange1 As Range
Set myRange = ActiveWorkbook.Worksheets("report").Range("A1:S65536")
Set myRange1 = ActiveWorkbook.Worksheets("ches").Range("a65536").End(xlUp).Offset(1, 0)
myRange1.Value = Application.WorksheetFunction.VLookup(ActiveWorkbook.Worksheets("zip").Range("a12"), myRange, 4)
End Sub
I have a vlookup that returns an #N/A error due to the table array originally being formatted as text. The data is simply a two or three digit number.
I have tried everything I can think of to get the table array to equal the lookup value.
I formated cell to number. I tried tab delimated/finish. I tried typing a 1 in a different cell and doing a paste special then multiply. I tried copying to a different worksheet. I just cannot get it to work.
I'm using an Excel spreadsheet as a database (mostly text based), so that in columns 1 and 2 are names and in column 3 is notes. I'm keeping all the columns single height (ie: not wrapping text). Where there is nothing in column 4 onwards, the text from column 3 displays across the subsequent blank fields.
View 2 Replies View RelatedHow would I group and count the occurences of specific words in a text field? This is my first step in trying to develop a scoring method based on our notes.
If the sentences above were in the text field, I'd expect the words "a" and "in" to come back with a count of two while all other words would come back with a count of 1.
I would like to create a very simple Excel file that makes the following:
If I enter 2 in a field I want that 2 replaced with "07.15-19.00" and also a 1 entered to the field next to it. If I enter a 4 I want the 4 replaced with 00:00-08:00 and the number 8 entered in the field next to it.

I have a file from PubMed with a bunch of citations in it, which often go above 10,000. There are fields that mean certain things and I would like to be able to import the text file into Excel and parse certain fields into columns.
The text file looks like this:
PMID- 19782657
OWN - NLM
STAT- In-Process
DA - 20091109
IS - 1872-6240 (Electronic)
VI - 1303 .......
I have a space delimited text file with 3 columns. The 3rd column is a string which may or may not have spaces in it.
How do I import the text file so that I end up with 3 columns in Excel and still have the entire 3rd string from each line?
I have the following formula that has ceased to work in excel. I don't think there are any errors in it so I'm unsure as to why the link no longer works. Neither of the files I'm using has moved location on the server.
=IF(H7>0,(I7*H7)+((I7*H7/100)*VLOOKUP(B7,'T:FILEFILEFILE'!$B:$E,4,FALSE))+0.25,0)
I'm not sure if this makes much of a difference but people opening the file use various versions of Microsoft Office.
I have 3 worksheets for 3 separate managers, each sheet has a column which uses a COUNTBLANK function to work out the number of days off an employee has had off in the last two weeks:
Now the formula works perfectly on each worksheet, however I also have a master worksheet (which is identically set out and formatted to the 3 manager sheets) which uses a vlookup formula to pull the data from all 3 worksheets into one at the beginning of the workbook.
The problem I've come across is that the COUNTBLANK formula doesn't work on the master worksheet - I think this has something to do with the vlookup formula entered into the cells which I consider to be blank, but excel doesn't?
I've tried using a separate vlookup formula to pull the data from the 3 managers worksheets and this does work unless an employee appears on more than one managers' sheet - then the data from both worksheets is added together.....
Is there another function I could use to display the information I need to?
The vlookup formula is only partly working on the attached sheet, but I cant find an explanation as to why it can look up some criteria but not others.
View 3 Replies View RelatedI have a spreadsheet with members details in and I've added a few columns showing:
Col Q: Paid 2008 (blank if No, 1 if Yes)
Col R: Show Paid Yes or No (shows a Yes or a No)
Col S: Date Joined (only entered if new and joined during 2008)
Col Z: Subs owing from 2008 (if existing members and owe last yr's subs)
Col AA: Subs to Pay in 2009 (a standard £35 or pro rata if joined during 2008)
Col AB: Pro Rata (if they joined other than at the beginning of 2008)
Col AC: EA Sub? (based on a yes/no column, to add £5 if yes)
Col AD: Total to Pay for 2009
So the formulae (or data entered) for the above columns are as follows:
Col Q: Paid 2008 - blank if no, 1 if Yes
Col R: Show Paid Yes or No - =IF(Q2=1,"Yes","No")
Col S: Date Joined - a date entered in format d/m/yy
Col Z: Subs owing from 2008 - =IF(R2="no", 35,0)....I want a default 35 in here
Col AA: Subs to Pay in 2009 - =IF(S2="",35,"Pro Rata")....says that if there is no date which indicates they are an existing member, they will pay the standard 35, otherwise they'll be paying a pro rata fee...................
Problem:
It all works fine until a certain row (27 actually) - then I get a VALUE! error which points to the Date Joined field. Now I've tested that value against the vlookup table and it returns the correct data, so why doesn't it do it in my spreadsheet????? I've tried changing the formats on the cells; clearing all data; entering a different date, but from that row in the spreadsheet down to the last row, it simply won't work! I've looked at each formula in each cell on the rows where it is working and the rows where it isn't and I can't see anything different.
What else can I look for? It is SO frustrating as it does what I need it to to do but only for a third of the spreadsheet!!!!
I have a column of numbers I want to look up, and a column of results to the right I want to spit out.
So I have the vlookup formula in column G, H a copy of that, except it's showing the formula instead of result. Same thing with I and J. So you can see the actual formula.
I've manually found the first two numbers and colored them red and green... but I can't seem to get the formula to work.. As you can see, it's only able to find the negative numbers, but not any of the positive numbers.
I tried to test the cells if they are equal or not, and they seem to be equal!
embedding the following
(VLOOKUP(A2,[svdlsa08_2007mast.xls]Sheet1!$A$2:$U$3869,1,FALSE)
in the following statement:
=IF(((VLOOKUP(A2,[svdlsa08_2007mast.xls]Sheet1!$A$2:$U$3869,1,FALSE))-A2=0),(VLOOKUP(C2,[svdlsa08_2007mast.xls]Sheet1!$C$2:$U$3869,17,FALSE)),"No Match")
The IF statement is designed to check a different value in the source spreadsheet against one in the destination sheet which should always match for the desired values, but this doesn't seem to make any difference to what is being returned - I'm still getting the first match instead of the appropriate one.
Is there a better way to force the VLOOKUP to return the value from the correct match and not just the first one?
I wanted to replace Array(Array(1,1),Array… in TextToColumns.

I'm trying to compare two very large files to find some that are in one AND also in the other. I'm using =VLOOKUP(C2,Parts2!C:D,1,FALSE) and my results are #N/A for all of them. I have formatted both columns as 'General' because there can be letters and numbers in the serial number, I have also tried formatting as text to no avail. I have confirmed no preceding or trailing spaces or other special characters.
I am however, able to locate values in both documents using Ctrl F. I'm totally puzzled because I've always been able to figure out what's causing my Vlookup issues when I have them but this time I'm not able to.
I am trying to get this tricky formula to work with vlookup and if error. The problem is that excel will not recognize the formula when I try to drag it down, but instead repeats the same numbers over again. I've tried some combinations using vlookup, rows, and if error, but it doesn't seem to work. So I'm trying to drag down the formula from g3:g99, to reference either cells b8:99, or whichever value I enter into f1, on down to b99.
View 4 Replies View RelatedI am trying to use a =vlookup(and( type formula. Excel accepted my syntax, but the formula is not working. Here are the details:
=VLOOKUP(AND(E2,O2),'[SOURCE DATA FOR PROFILES.xlsx]Sheet1'!$B:$G,6,FALSE)
The values from cell E2 and O2 are both present on a row in the SOURCE DATA spreadsheet, and column 6 is the last column in my table (both values appear before column 6, but not next to each other).
The formula returns #N/A. Under those circumstances, shouldn't it return the value of column 6 on the row where those two values are present together?
Do the columns containing the values have to be next to each other in the table for this to work? Does the data type matter (one is a number, the other a street address)? The value to be returned is a number.
I am trying to create a single cell formula that returns the min value of an array returned from a vlookup function. This is part of a more complex solution that I am trying to implement, but I think I have narrowed my problem down to this issue, so I have created a very simple example to demonstrate.
Cells A1 to B5 contain a lookup table:
table.tableizer-table {border: 1px solid #CCC; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12px;} .tableizer-table td {padding: 4px; margin: 3px; border: 1px solid #ccc;}
.tableizer-table th {background-color: #104E8B; color: #FFF; font-weight: bold;}
LetterNumber D4 C3 B2 A1
Cells A7 to C8 contain the input values:
table.tableizer-table {border: 1px solid #CCC; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12px;} .tableizer-table td {padding: 4px; margin: 3px; border: 1px solid #ccc;}
.tableizer-table th {background-color: #104E8B; color: #FFF; font-weight: bold;}..................
I am trying to build a list of account numbers based on conditions in a spreadsheet. Every account number will look like: XXXXXX-XXX-XXX, depending on if there is a 'Y' in both fields...see attached. I am desperate to get this done and have hit a complete road block.
View 2 Replies View RelatedI have used the advanced filter option in excel 2010 to display all the unique occurences of a list of names (column B) and then used the count function =COUNTIF(A$2:A$21,B2) to count the occurences of each name (column C).
However, excel did not manage to take into account the last 3 entries in column A (mir-23). I assume this is because it is a mixture of text and numeric values. How can I include this information in the grouping and counting?

I am trying to link the data from one cell to another. My destination cell has the formula
[=IF('Request Form'!A39="","",'Request Form'!A39)].
Which works great for values in the reference cell that do not contain carriage returns, which is possible. The problem I am running into is that if the reference cell contains a carriage return the destination cell just ignores it and crams the lines together for display purposes. Is there a way/formula I can use to force excel to display 'exactly' as entered, in cell returns and all?
I'm creating a restaurant rota spreadsheet and I need to calculate the hours for each waiter, which is easy enough. But I've got to include stand-by shifts and cover shifts into the rota for the staff and I'd like the formula to ignore the "standby" text, etc in its calculations. I know you can use the =IF(... function, but that only works with one value. As well, the standby shifts will change from shift to shift and week to week, so I need one formula that might encompass all these needs... if there is one!!
An example of my rota for you to see:
MONDAY TUESDAY WEDNESDAY THURSDAY FRIDAY SATURDAY SUNDAY
Total hours for week START FINISH START FINISH START FINISH START FINISH START FINISH START FINISH START FINISH
10:00 17:00
10:00 17:00 12:00 16:00
Lunch Hrs/Wk 18:00 #VALUE! 19:00 24:00
standby standby 19:00 24:00 standby standby o2 Cover o2 Cover
Dinner Hrs/Wk #VALUE!
Trying to count the number of fields that meet a criteria base in 3 different columns. Worked on this for few hours but still keep hitting the wall of no right answer. I have attached an example sheet.
Trying to find the Number of fields that are not blank in the range of B9:B28 and have no date (are blank) in range(C9:C28) and have a number that is < 7 in range (D9:D28).
I have a sheet set up with names. I have 2 other sheets with spouses and
children that belong to the first sheet. I want to insert a formula that
will look up the correct spouse (based on a member number) and put in it the
column. Same with the children. I tried the vlookup function, but it did
not return the correct result.
