Dragging Down Formula With Vlookup And Iferror Not Working?
Mar 26, 2014
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.
look at the tab "Publisher sumif summary" and at the "Q" column. There is already a formula in place which returns a number from column B in the "Publisher Control Sheet".
If you look at Column B in the "publisher control sheet", you can see that for some of the companies in column A there is no number. Instead, there is a number in Column C where there is no number for column B.
The problem at the moment is that I don't know how to get the data from Column C factored into the equation, which I will describe below
Essentially, i need the formula in the Q column of the "Publisher sumif summary" to return "((Column M number (impressions) /1000)* Column C number) with the column C number coming from the "Publisher control sheet" tab. It needs to only do this where there is no number in column B, and how to add this function!
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.
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.
This vlookup has been in this workbook for years. All of a sudden any of the cells that have formulas won't work without placing the cursor after the formula in the bar and hitting enter.
Is it possible to write a formula that skips x number of cells and have the formula autoincrement as usual. For an examples lets say I want to skip 3 cells and I have entered in the cells listed:
A1= "1" A2= "2" A3= "3"
Then I type in the simple formula in the cell B1= "=A1"
and then drag down but it skips 3 cells so then
B5= "=A2"
B9= "=A3"
If it didn't skip then B1= "=A1" B2= "=A2" B3= "=A3"
this is just an example as I will be writing more complex formulas and need some thing that I can write into the formula so that it skips.
i have a sheet with alot of data, its a contacts list. colum A is Company name, B contact name, C address, D postcode. One row = one contact. On the next sheet i want to have on column with each contact set out as if it wer on an envelope, so i did the formula:............
if i select all of this space and try to drap the formula down the next cell fills with =sheet1!A11......I want it to say =sheet1!A3. If i cant drag it down then I am going to have to manually write this formula 100000000000 times.....anyoning.
This is dragging the formula to the end of the report. My dilemma is that this was captured with the macro recorder. Is there a way to change "S2702" with whatever row Column S ends with? Meaning this formula will be used on different sized reports so the numbers will vary. I just need a direct statement to compensate however large the report is.
I have obviously hit a combination of keys that has turned this function off. I can no longer drag and fill cells with a formula, it will only copy the original text/value into adjacent cells. How can I fix this??
I am having issues with this sheet. i am trying to get this formula to stick, when i drag down or across. its not holding the formula true to the first column. i am unsure of what this is called or else i would be using more specific words.
If I need to replicate a formula in some cells, I usually drag it down or sideways. Is there any easier way to do this? I have large numbers of cells into which to drag the formula. Can I specify which cell range the formula is applicable to (i.e. A1:A10,000 or something) instead of dragging? If so how?
Let's say I have a value in B2, and a formula in C2. If I drag the formula from C2 all the way down to C20 (spreading it 18 times), the formula wants the value in B2, B3, B4, etc.. down to B20. How do I drag a formula, but have it always reference B2?
Im working on a financial forecast in ecxel and I'm trying to drag a formula from left to right, while referencing horizontal cells from a different tab:
Specifically, I have created a "loan schedule" which shows 12 monthly interest payments starting in cell B46 and ending in cell B57.
In a separate tab labelled "Balance Sheet", I would like to show the first interest payment ('loan schedule'!B46) in cell C28. Next, I would like to select the cell and drag it to the right so that the remaining 11 interest payments will be transferred into D29, E29, F29 etc. Unfortunately,the spreadsheet doesn't reference to the vertically listed interest payments from the loan schedule but instead references the cell to the right of the interest payment. Using "$" seems to be of no support.
The formula works fine, but when I drag it to the next column c3:c39 stays the same. How do I get that reference to change when I drag the formula over multiple columns.
I am using the formula below to sum across several worksheets, and the formula I am using works fine, but when I copy the formula across to other cells, I can't figure out how to have it update my cell range:
I have a workbook with multiple sheets interacting with one another. On one of them the user is prompted to make lists of expenses in multiple columns. The column labels are in row one, and row two has the sums of all the cells below. I have every sheet in the workbook protected, so that only the cells that need to be modified are unlocked. The problem is that the user can drag cells around and change the range of the functions in row two (locked cells).
For example, A2 has the function =sum(A3:A100). But if the user drags the values in A3:A5 to A6:A8, the formula in A2 changes to =sum(A6:A100). Is there anyway that I can allow the user to drag cells (this could be a useful feature), but keep the formulas in the second row fixed?
I am trying to work out a method which will allow me to drag the forumula which is in cell B13 from B13:B17, and have in increase the date serial number by one for each row by which it descends.
In other words I want to drag the formula down to, say B14, and have it increase the date serial to = that which is in cell A14.
[the obvious benefit of being able to do this is that I don't have to manually adjust the date serial in each cell on each new row]
appending excel sheet number in a formula. Here is the example.
In an excel book, I have sheets 1 to 50. In each sheet i have a standard format to enter the details. And in one sheet I want to keep some summary with required cells. I made a table by applying formula, for example in cell A1 i kept formula ='9'!$D$9. In this '9' refers sheet9. In the similar way i want to capture the data from all sheets.
Is there any formula to append the Sheet number automatically (like dragging the shell) intead changing sheet number manually. because it is wasting so much time.
I've got a long formula here. If the resulting expression is equal to "0-0" I want it to go blank as if it was an error, and if it isn't, I want it to show the resulting expression as normal.
I'm trying to use the iferror function in VBA and the whole code is not executing, as the syntax error is being noticed first, and not allowing the whole code to execute. What I want to happen is if the vlookup returns an error, the cell value should be "*". The code is:
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.
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
