I have a worksheet that is utilizing a VLookup to pull some values from another worksheet based on a composite number. I have checked the numbers for their format, length, and value (dangling spaces, etc.). I still cannot get this VLOOKUP to work correctly. I have attached the file.
Column H on the Cost Report sheet holds the formula in question. It concatenates the values in Columns C,D,E,&F to create a composite number to look for in Column B of the Original Estimate sheet. It is supposed to pull the $ value from Column D of that range.
I have tried everything. I passed the composite number into TEXT, --(Double Unary), INT, tested for both #'s length with LEN and have converted the formatting between text and numbers.
Concatenated cells. My issue is how do i search through a sheet with cell values that have been concatenated?
Lets take an example:
I would like to search for a string call sales in sheet1 which would display all the employees and schedules for that department (do note that employees can be part of not just one department). but my cell formatting is as follows:
Sheet 2, Column 1 Employee name
E.g. Row 2 Employee1
Sheet 2, Column 2 Department (cells concatenated)
E.g. Row 2 Sales, Marketing (Concatenated Cell)
Sheet 2, Column 3 Work schedule
E.g. Row 2 8 AM to 5 PM
So when you search for sales, it will display employee1 and work schedule.
I need "my sheet" to populate (columns A,B,&C) with some source data; however, I need the lookup to reference both retailer# and color (columns D&E) and return other information such as description, color description, etc...
I need to return a value from a cell in Column H, but with a row number that varies with each entry.
I repeat this formula every 5 rows or so. But the cells referenced on another spreadsheet are only one row apart. Because of this discrepance, when I copy my highly developed cluster of formulas, they only reference every 5th entry on the other sheet. What I've been doing is manually altering long, complicated formulas by hand. I can't do a replace function because every once in awhile it'll find an extra instance of the digit I'm replacing and mess up parts of the formula I don't want changed. I could avoid this tedious, time-consuming work-around if I could make a formula that would do something like this:
=Display Value from in column H: (row number per cell B1)
And cell B1 would include the number 3789.
So the returned result is the value from cell H:3789
Essentially, sheet b is a list of 900 people I need to mail to. Sheet a has 3000 rows of people, many of whom don't need the mailing. It has mailing addresses that we need in sheet b.
We have two worksheets, sheet a and sheet b
compare sheet b, column c (email addresses) to sheet a, column x, (email addresses). If they match, move sheet a, columns d, e, f, g, and h to sheet b.
Effectively I need to concatenate two columns in Sheet1, and then vlookup each concatenated value from Sheet1 in another concatenated column in Sheet2 and return the value from the next column
Now that is quite straight forward, but I am new to coding, and I was wondering if there was a way of doing it that doesn't involve having the concatenated values written to a column as a formula. Ideally what I would like it to do is put the concatenated value of Sheet1 together as a variable (I think thats what you call them) and then look up that variable in Sheet2 without Sheet2 creating a concatenated column too.
I'm of the understanding that this might be slower than writing the columns, but there is a reason for my madness.
Let me know what you think, or if i'm barking. Any suggested reading would also be handy, I don't like to bug you guys for the full code straight out.
I have some data with recurring key values and differing values in the second column, I need to produce a unique list of key values with the second values concatenated together.(See below)
The data can be 10 rows to 5000 and I can have anything from 5 to 150 sheets (Separate data sets), a macro would go a long way to keeping me sane.
Sample data Required Output A | B Z 1| 10 | a 10,a,b,c 2| 10 | b 11,a 3| 10 | c 12,a,b 4| 11 | a 5| 12 | a 6| 12 | b
Is it possible to write a vlookup that will return a value of Yes if the value is true and a value of No if the value is false?
I have data in column A on sheet 1 so the lookup value starts in cell A2 and the table array is on sheet 2 in columns A and B so the column index is 2.
When I use my vlookup function and hit enter, the no value shows up and I can still see the function syntax that I wrote in the cell. Here's a sample of what my sheet looks like:
Number Name Hazard Number 2
[Code]...
I need to know the value in the 'number 3' column is for the 'number' column. For example, I need '1302-76-7' inputted in a column adjacent to one of the first three columns. Another example: I need 'na - 07' inputted in the same row that has a 'number' of '1073'. This is how I want it to look:
Number Name Hazard Number3
[Code]...
When I type in the vlookup formula listed above, nothing happens. This is exactly how it looks in my spreadsheet, even when I click another cell or hit enter. Is my syntax wrong or have I just missed something?
I have two workbooks which are data dumps from another program. Say I have WO #, Task #, and Cost in workbook1 and WO #, Task # in workbook2. I need to compare the WO# in workbook2 with WO# in workbook1 if it matches I need to compare the Task # in workbook2 with the Task# in workbook1 (but it must compare the same row in which the WO # match was found) then it must return the cost from workbook1 to workbook2 ( again the cost must come from the same row in which the WO and Task match were found in).
This could be a VBA code or even a formula that does not matter.
I have a list of countries in column A, there are duplicates in this list. In column B are numbers corresponding to the country.
A B IRELAND 1221 GERMANY 2341 USA 3443 IRELAND 2231
Ireland could be in the list and have up to 20 different values beside it in column B
On a separate sheet i have a drop down list of all the countries. I am looking for a vlookup or something similar to return a list of all the numbers beside IRELAND when Ireland is selected in the drop down list.
I had been trying a vlookup but this looks at the list and stops at the first "IRELAND" it finds and just returns the value beside the first "IRELAND"
I have a workbook with 2 sheets. The sheet called 'data' contains all purchasers names (which do get repeated), the item they bought and 3 item costs, all in range A1:E15. The 'lookup' sheet allows the user to enter a purchasers name in cell B1, then I want all the items that purchaser bought listed with the corresponding item costs. I've attached a sample spreadsheet.
I'm having trouble getting my payroll data to combine. I've been using VLOOKUP to look up employees by their Personel Number (Column A) and return their name (column B), Cost Center (Column C), the Fund that they are paid from (Column D) and the Amount they are paid (Column E). The problem is that some employees are being paid out of 2 or more funds and VLOOKUP is only returning the fund that appears first, leaving out the other portion of their pay and thus making my grand total quite far off. How can I get Excel to return all the entries for a particular Personel Number? There are more than 16000 employees, so this is no small spreadsheet.
I've been trying to research vlookup to see how I can use it or something like it to return multiple value for a dynamic chart I'm trying to build. I've found several paged to give examples but I can not seem to figure it out with my sheet b/c the examples differ from mine I have a financial spreadsheet with several categories and I want to make a chart for all my utilities. i need a array formula (i think) that will search for (example) My salary, my wife's salary and other income and extract those values in the next column (Credit (+)) to build a chart... (i will use this same concept to make other charts as well.) The Categories column is F and the values will need to be extracted for the chart are in G. doesnt matter where they are extracted to but for the sake of being speific ill say starting P50.
I have charts that I have to update at work, and I want to make it as fast of a process as possible. Here is an example of what I want to do.
I want to put the letter B in cell 1, then the number 23 in cell 2. I then want to concatenate those two strings, which I can do. I end up with cell 3 which says B23. I then want cell 4 to to be the value of cell B23. If the B23 in cell 3 changes to C11, I want cell 4 to be the value of cell C11.
I would use an IF(x,x,x), but I want to to take into account the fact that it could be any cell on the whole sheet which would be one hell of a nested IF statement.
I'm trying to use vlookup to return multiple values for the same unique identifier. I've read a couple of examples within the forums, but I haven't been able to find anything I understand. I have employee ID's and these ID's have specific access associated with their ID's and each access is listed within a different row. Within a new spreadsheet I removed all duplicates of the employee ID so now I no longer have a one to one match between spreadsheets, so I would like to create a vlookup that will list all access associated with each employee ID. I have attached a sample of the data sheet I am working with.
I am attempting to graph data based on work down in specific work centers to track efficiency. I can download all items that were finished for a certain time frame (yesterday, last month, last year, etc.), but the data only shows up as the item, quantity, and the date of closure. I take that info and copy and paste it to the close out tab of the other work book, where it references another sheet to pull in the time required to complete the task, and the work center that did the work. My problem is when an item has multiple work centers on the same item and then taking that info into a pivot table to graph. This can be done manually, but I was hoping I could create a way to only have to copy and paste the data and have it return the work done.
I have included a shortened version of what I am trying to do, eventually there will be 25000+ items on the data tab, but if I can get this to work, then i assume I can extrapolate.
I tried searching for a solution to my formula problem in this forum regarding vlookup and saw similar formula e.i returning multiple values but it doesn't cater with what I need.
Vlook is returning only the first value but what I need is to return all the multiple return values in 1 cell. I've attached a sample worksheet for reference.
Traditionally the vookup will return the first value it can match. I can return multiple values on different lines using an array formula but this is not useful.
In the example below I have table array A1:B8. Lookup criteria in cell A11 and want to return MULTIPLE values from column B in cell B11.
I have an excel sheet with multiple columns. In one column I have X's and in another I have a limit. I need to look down the stuff column, find every X, match each X to its corresponding limit and then compare all the limits and return only the smallest limit found. I.e if I was looking down the stuff column I would find 4,6,8,8,3 and thus I would return 3 as my value. I am very new to working with excel formulas,
