Is there a way to find data in an array similar to the way match, index or vlookup is used for data in cells of the spreadsheet?
Example, if I have a 2 dimensional array:
1 apple
2 orange
3 pear
4 banana
5 grape
and I want to know if the word "banana" exists in the second column of the array, is there code that would determine if it was in there at all, and is there code that would determine that it was item 4 in that array?
What I'm trying to do is generate a 2D array of values in VBA from data in a spreadsheet. (Array is not pulled from sheet)
What I would like to do next is look at each row or column of the 2D array and find the max value. I've tried using the worksheetfunction.MAX to no avail.
How do i find the length of an array, which has been declared as
VB : Dim abcarray() As Variant
i have a sheet in template i use in preparing bid packages for electrical installations.it relates to locating in a (building) grid the locations of the motor control (mcp) and power panels (cdp).my desire at this point is to find a way to local a unique value (mcp or cdp) in a 2d grid and then return the column and row names from the same grid. eventually this information will populate a table of all the mcp's and cdp's with their locations.
my sticking point appears to be finding a unique value in a 2d table. this value can be anywhere in the table, not just the first column.
i've tried the lookups and index/match. match fails when i extend the lookup_array beyond the first column.
not sure if this is even possible.
Very simple problem. I need the second highest value in an array. Max gives me highest. Min gives me lowest. I need a kind of a MAX2 function.

I am aware that you can use Match to find the position of an entry in an array, and the following code works as expected, returning an index of 4:

I want each string in column A to be searched in the full array. If match is found the corresponding column title (B1 or C1 and so.) and cell address needs to written to a new result columns in AY and AZ. it should work for duplicates as well i.e. the string can be in all the columns of array from B to AG. and all of them needs to be written to result column.

I'd like to know if exist a procedure/ function to find a argument in an array and return the index/address of the argument at the array.
For example, I have a array contaning a list of products. i'd to create a function that finds the index of a particular/list of products, feeded as arguments, and returns the indexes locations.
I'm setting up an Excel (2000) sheet to record the results of a competition at my local photographic society. I'm trying to make it as simple as possible to fill out by the people using it, so have shaded the cells that require the user to put data in. I'll post a screenshot of the sheet, which is named "DPI", to make it easier:
(EDIT) screenshot removed - see attached file in post #3 below instead
I use one row for each member entering the competition. Each member can submit up to three photographs for judging. The names in B5:B30 are tied to the member number in A5:A30, and pulled in with VLOOKUP from a separate sheet containing all the club's members. The names in this example are, obviously, fakes. ;-)
The three blocks are to enter the image titles and associated scores. I have a range called "scores" which is defined as =DPI!$D$5:$D$30,DPI!$G$5:$G$30,DPI!$J$5:$J$30
The rank columns are simply calculated using the RANK function. E.g. the formula in E5 is =IF(ISBLANK(A5),"",RANK(D5,scores,0))
The cells at the top are calculated using the LARGE function upon the defined range "scores" (although they could equally use the SMALL function on the rank columsn instead).
The bit I'm stuck at is what I want it to say along the top. eg: "Leg 1 Winner: 30 is {insert image title} by {insert member name}"
Using the winner as an example, I want to take the winning score shown in D1, find it in the named array "scores", and return the image title to the left of it. Obviously I can't use VLOOKUP as the data is to the left of the lookup value as well as being in multiple columns. I wanted to use OFFSET to return the value of the column to the left, but to do that I need to pick up the reference of the cell containing "30" i.e. the winning score shown in cell D1.
How can I find this cell reference? Or is there a better way? I thought about the old MATCH/INDEX function, but INDEX doesn't seem to work very well with data in non-contiguous arrays as I'd have to specify which block to look in.
Once I can get the image title returned I hopefully sholdn't have any bother extending it to return the member name from a fixed column, but I can't figure out how to get the reference of the cells in the "scores" array that contain the winning scores shown in D1, D2 and D3.
I've defined a string array and would want to use it as a basis for a vlookup. Is it possible to find the elements of the array directly in the worksheet ?So far I've got :

I have an array that is 60x100 (column x row).
I'm trying to search for a value in that array and return the value on the same row, but shifted to the right one column.
Example: If my value is found in D63, I want to return the value in E63.
I've been messing with Index, Match, and Offset, but I can't get anything working.
I am using VLOOKUP with the not_exact_match set to True, however instead of finding the next largest value that is less than value, I want to find a way of returning the next largest value that is greater than value. I have looked at using MATCH and OFFSET to try and increment the returned value by 1.
View 9 Replies View RelatedI am trying to find an item within an array and then VBA could execute code.
Here is an example:
[Code]....
LookupItems =("text", "value", "book") or should I acutally be using Split("text,value,book",",")
For Each sht in ThisWorkbook
If sht.name = array(LookupItems) Then.....execute code
[Code] ....
So basically in this example I want to loop through all the sheet names in the workbook and if any of the names in the arrary are found it will execute the code for those particular sheet names.
I know alternatives are the select case or write an if statement for each value I am looking up or even use an OR for each value to lookup; but I just wanted to see if this method was even possible as it would be less coding.
I have a column array with various cells in that array populated. In every subsequent cell in that array I want a formula that finds the previously populated cell and that value added a cell that is in the same row but two columns to the left.
I have a table with three columns, column 1 is a list of names, column 2 is where I want my result to appear, and column 3 has my array of search values. Column 1 and 2 could have any number of rows with values, but column 3 will have less values. It looks like this if it's working right:
Item List
Result
Search List
[Code].....
What I am trying to do is for each cell in column 1, I want to see if there is a matching value in column 3 - it has to be either an exact match or a partial match (i.e. the string appears somewhere in the values of column 1).
I have been trying to use MATCH like this:
=ISNUMBER(MATCH($A2,$C:$C,0))
but it does not return true unless the match is exact.
way to get these partial string matches to work?
I need to do a vlookup that takes a string from one cell and then tries to find that string (embedded in a larger string) in the table array
Essentially I imagine this involves the FIND function at some point.
Attached is an incredibly simplified example of what I'm looking for.
On one sheet (KPI) I have either the values "x" or "" in the range A84:A89 to mark wheter to use the corresponding project in the range B84:B89. On the sheet X-ref I have the same project names in range T4:Y4 and a corresponding target value in T8:Y8
What I want is the sum (or average) of the marked-projects target-values. The result should end up in KPI!G31.
In other words I want
=sumif(A84:A89;"x";'X-ref'!T4:Y4)
but it doesn't work since the first range is an column-array and the second range is an row-array.
I am working on large sets of data (more than 50,000 rows of data). I have two sets of data. Set 1 and Set 2 (master data) on the same worksheet. Both the sets of data have three columns each. I am using EXCEL 2007. I was able to accomplish step 1 below.. but I am totally lost with step 2 since i have an additional criteria for the "year".
I have attached the excel sheet as well. This is what I am trying to accomplish:
1) I want to find exact matches in set 1 and set 2 and highlight it or do something to show that a match was found. The challenge is the data in set 1 can occur anywhere in set 2.
2) Add to the complication .. my criteria for matching the year is different. If the Set 1 "year" is equal to or greater by 1 yr or greater by 2 yr when compared to Set 2 "year", I want to treat it as a "match".
For example, from the data attached:
Set 1 data in row 4 is: ATLANTIC ABSECON 2004
Set 2 data in row 3 is: ATLANTIC ABSECON 2003
I want to treat these two data as "MATCH" since ATLANTIC matches ATLANTIC, ABSECON matches ABSECON and according to one of my criteria for year, Set 1 "year" is greater by 1 yr than the Set 2 "year".
How would i write VB code that looks for the last row in my data table? I'm a total novice with VB but learning slowly..
View 9 Replies View RelatedOn my example sheet it shows how many cables and how the cable length per job. What i need is for the hour/job column to be populated from the Hours sheet by matching the column and row. e.g 4 cables at 40 metres would give me cell D7 (27.89), as 25 metres would be no good - so rounding up would be required.

This code will put dashes in a set of numbers and there is no certain amount of account numbers that could end up being in column A on any given month.

I have a simple problem and I'm sure someone out there has the simple answer i'm looking for. Here's my problem:
I have a column of cells with data in them (no formulas, just "hand-written" data). I would like to find the last cell in the column that has data, but without using VBA.
I tried to find help, and I thought I might be able to use the LOOKUP formula, but since I never used it before, I kinda hit a wall... is there any other formulas that might do the job? or do I absolutely have to use VBA?
After I find the last cell with data, I will use it in another formula in another cell... nothing too complicated, but I need (if possible) the data in the cell to be returned to the other cell for the other formula.
I am a basic user of Excel.
I have an Excel spreadsheet with data from the last 10 years.
In one column it has date in dddd,mmmm,dd,yyyy format and the second column with data for the dates.

Is there a formula, or other method of finding only these results from the whole speadsheet?
