When I did an array match -> ={MATCH(1,(TRIM($a2)=Sheet2!$A$1:$A$2)*(left(b2,5)&"*"=Sheet2!$b$1:$b$2),0)}
gave me an error but when I did an individual match to both John and Sedgw, it works.
Say I have 3 columns of data: A1:C10 and I want to run a Match() function on them all together to see if I get a match any one those cells, say the value of have in X1.
Since, Match only allows a One-Column lookup array.. is there a way to "concatenate" or "append" the 3 columns together within a formula so now I would be looking to Match in an array that is 1 column * 30 rows?
Basically want to convert =Match(X1,A1:C10,0) to =Match(X1,A1:A30,0) without moving around the raw data in the sheet.
And I want to avoid doing an AND or OR formula that uses 3 separate MATCH() for each column.
I have a hunch that the MMULT or MMULT/TRANSPOSE functions are involved, but can't seem to get it right.
Is there anyway to recreate this formula w/o it being an array ?
{=IF(C3="","",IFERROR(INDEX('Master List'!$B$1:$B$2000,MATCH(TRUE,ISNUMBER(SEARCH('Master List'!$A$1:$A$2000,C3)),0)),"ADD TO MASTER"))}
I have the following array formula that identifies the first number in the column I:
=INDEX(I1:I1200,MATCH(TRUE,ISNUMBER(I1:I1200),0))
This formula works fine however I was hoping to expand the range to the entire column. I thought (obviously incorrectly) that the following formula would work:
=INDEX(I:I,MATCH(TRUE,ISNUMBER(I:I),0))
Instead of getting the same result as the first formula, I am getting "#N/A".
Imagine 5 periods of sales, growing by $550 per year, from $250 to $2,250. There is a columnar table with sales in increments of $500 to $2,000 paired with margin percentages.
Using INDEX(MarginColumn,MATCH(Sales,SalesColumn,1)) successfully retrieves the correct margin % for each period where Sales is that year's sales.
So, I tried to construct an array formula in the following way:
{=SalesRow*INDEX(MarginColumn,MATCH(Sales,SalesColumn,1))}
Sales is not changing, so that only the 1st year's margin percentage is being applied to each year's sales. I confirmed this by extending the array to a multi-cell layout.
How can I correct the formula so that the margin percentage is looked up as if it were using each year's sales independently? I know I can just SUM the array once this works, but this is my current road block.
P.S. If you see this answer immediately, how might I multiply the percentages by the sales that increase by $500 and sum the whole expression into one cell?
complex formulas in Excel but managed to work out and create the following formula;
{=IFERROR(INDEX('owssvr(1)'!$AE:$AE,MATCH($A9&AK$1,'owssvr(1)'!$C:$C&'owssvr(1)'!$E:$E,0)),"")}
Basically I want to return a call quality score if the name and week match my criteria.
The above formula works perfectly, however, it is very slow and the sheet takes ages to update.
Is there a quicker and more dynamic way to achieve the same result?
I'm tryig to find a way to index data in an array that meets certain matching criteria. I am looking for an employee's rate on a given day by searching a database that lists the dates that an employee's rate was changed. I was hoping to solve it with a crafty index and match array formula but have been unable to find something that works so far. I have attached a simplified example of what I am trying to do.

I need to find a way to find an array in a tab to use for an index/match function I have.
this is what i would normally use: =index(tab_array,match($a2, tab!$a$1:$a$1000,0),match($B$1,tab!$a$1:$zz$1,0))
This formula would usually work fine when I know that within the tab, the array in which the row match is searching doesn't change. However, that array may change in the future, to say column H, without my knowing as it is a database that gets automatically populated from an upstream system.
Is there a way to search for an array within an index/match?
I am trying to understand how to use index and match in an array formula. Probably easiest to take a look at my example sheet. For some reason, the first result is working, but the others aren't.

I am trying to run an array formula to match two dates on two seperate sheets as close together based on another cell. Below is what I currently have on some made up values. I am entering it as an array and ideally I would like it to run down the cells changing the reference A2 depending on which cell it is then to then enter this into a macro.
The formula I am currently using is:
=INDEX(Trees!B$2:B$75,MATCH(MIN(INDEX(ABS(IF(A2=Trees!A$2:A$75,(Trees!B$2:B$75-B2))),0)),INDEX(ABS(IF(A2=Trees!A$2:A$75,(Trees!B$2:B$75-B2))),0),0))

I have a number of array formulas that refer back to the table in the top left. The array formulas are in Columns I and L, and cells N200, N203, and P203.
Normally when I add a new line to the top left table (usually by clicking on the empty box below the previous final line and typing the date), the table expands by one row and the array formulas all adjust to match, i.e. all the A180/C180s in the formulas become A181/C181s, etc.
However every once in a while (maybe once a month), the arrays simply refuse to update, and I can't figure out why. When they fail, they all fail, it's not hit or miss. You'll see in the attached sheet that though I've added a line to the table (A181) and data to that line, all the arrays still read through A180/C180.
Why this randomly fails to update, and if it's something I'm doing incorrectly?
And that leads to an associated question. In the past when this has failed in this manner, I've laboriously gone through and changed all the cell references manually, in every single individual cell. (After doing it once, the arrays usually magically start auto-expanding again.) I'm certain there is a way to make those formulas refer to a named range, instead of all being manual references, but after spending an hour on it, I keep getting #VALUE errors.
I've been using [URL] ..... and pages like it as a reference without success. Obviously, I would prefer that the formulas auto-update without issue per my first issue above, but in the event that they don't, it'd be really nice to just change the ranges in one location and have that propagate across the sheet.
See attached file, "Rate Sample Index-Match Formula".
I need a formula to return the value at the cross section of two (2) lookup values that match. This formula will be input into column D under, "RATE" on the 1st tab, "TEST FILE".
In the 1st tab, "TEST FILE" there are a series of columns as follows;
A = Service
B = From
C = To
D = Rate
In the 2nd tab, "RATES" there is a series of rates with drivers From (green) & To (blue)
The formula needs to do the following;
1. Lookup the "From" value in column B on tab, "TEST FILE" and match to column B2:B59 on tab, "RATES" both highlighted in green
2. Then Lookup the "To" value in column C on tab, "TEST FILE" and match to row C1:BH1 on tab, "RATES" both highlighted in blue
3. Then return the value at the cross section of the match "From" (point 1 above) & "To" (point 2 above) in range C2:BH59
For Example;
The rate From SYD To CBR = 0.33. I have highlighted this in yellow on both tabs to show where the formula needs to lookup the data to return the answer.
Additionally, if we were to add service as an additional lookup match how would this work?

View 3 Replies View RelatedMy company has several users that access a file (File A) that has a macro in that opens another file on their F drive called TEST.XLS. The code (in File A) to do this is:
Workbooks.Open Filename:="F: est.xls"
Just recently this code has failed for some users but not others. For those where it failed I confirmed that they do indeed have the file located on drive F.
As a test, one of the users where the above code failed ran the macro recorder while opening the file (Test.xls) on their F drive. The recorder produced the following code:
Workbooks.Open Filename:="\companynetsta$jsmith est.xls"
It appears the code is failing because Excel is looking for a UNC path as opposed to a drive letter (F).
I prefer that the code that looks at the Drive letter F be used.
How can I get the following code to workWorkbooks.Open Filename:="F: est.xls" ....for all users that have an F drive?

I figured out exactly what I wanted to do and got it to work in a test excel sheet. However, when integrating it into the actual workbook I wanted, I was unable to get it to work. So, I used the same cell references I need to work in my actual workbook and pasted it all back to the test excel sheet.
So, the test excel sheet has the working formulas up at the top, and a duplicate of what I need to work in the actual cells I need them to work in. Changing the shift start time should group any persons with the same shift togethor. I'm still fairly new, but I think the only portion that could have been changed is the portion that says 1:1.. I figure that is relative to the array so it shouldn't be changed, but not sure what else to do.

I am trying to use FIND and an array formula to find the position of text in a range of cells (A2 and A3 in the example) which could be one of a number of options (C1:D1 here). But the array formula throws up the following error: "A value used in the formula is of the wrong data type". The simplest illustration of the problem is as follows. The formula in B2 is
Code:
{=FIND(($C$1:$D$1),A2)}
and $C$1:$D$1 contain REF and ATM respectively. [/CODE]
REF
ATM
203047 05AUG 08.55 OKEHAMPTON ATM
#VALUE!
CO-OP GROUP 380611 REF 191 7553375222 BCC
22
We see that B2 has a #VALUE! error - wrong data type. But for some reason B3 is ok returning 22!
The short version:
(69.1*SQRT(((Shops!$X$2:$X$341-C3)^2)+0.06*((Shops!$Y$2:$Y$341-D3)^2))<=25))) evaluates out to series of 340 True and Falses. I need to be able to pull the nth True, and then somehow index that against AH2:341.
I'm working with a record of 53,000 entries with latitudes and longitudes and I need to cross compare them with 341 locations in the United States.
I've already done some of the heavy lifting, which supported narrow an initial list of 85,000 records to at least recognize which records where within any of the 341 points. (Less arrays makes my computer happy.)
This formula gives me the count of locations each entry is within one of the 341:
=SUM(IF(69.1*SQRT(((Shops!$X$2:$X$341-C3)^2)+0.06*((Shops!$Y$2:$Y$341-D3)^2))<=25,1,0)) {CSE} & copied down 53k times
The actual return range is AH2:AH341 for the location number.
Now, I need to be able to list each of the 341 they are close to. The max count is 17, so I'll only need to list out 17 columns.
Maybe something like =LOOKUP(1,1/(69.1*SQRT(((Shops!$X$2:$X$341-C3)^2)+0.06*((Shops!$Y$2:$Y$341-D3)^2))<=25))),$AH$2:$AH$341)
but this only returns the first match. How do I return the 2nd, 3rd, 4th, etc?
Because of the sensitive nature of my data, we can use a much simpler array which I'll adapt; I'm mostly trying to understand the logic or formula that should be used.
