Looking Up Value In Table (multiple; Unique Id; Columns For No Vlookup)
Mar 30, 2009
What formula should I use so that it will find the match with a 6-column table (with every other column containing the 'reference' items, so I can't use vlookup)
So that it will return the value next to the match
(instead of returning gibberish, will return a number instead)
Solved
Okay had that table setup that way because I needed separate tables ("linked" comboboxes")
So I just altered it so that the vlookup range changes dependent on the value of combobox 1.
Im just going to start with the tables that will help show what i am trying to do...
TABLE 1 File #Dateid 215? 211? 27? 26?
TABLE 2 File #StartStopid 29131 214162 2183
Ok so say i have these two tables...i want to be able to look at the file # of line 1 in table 1, go to table 2 and return the id where the date from table 1 is between the start and stop in table 2. ie...in that example it should return id "2".
Vlookup a table, to another table that has multiple values.
E.g.
Table GPASP002
Look up table - need to return second coloum but not the first value, all the values? GPASP002 KZASP100 GPASP002 KZASP500 GPASP002 KZASP600 GPASP002 KZASP501 GPASP002 KZASP502 GPASP002 KZASP601
I have multiple columns with names (lets say columns A, B, and C). I want to place only the unique names in column E. Is there a formula to do this? Each column does not contain all the names and each has names that are not in any of the other columns.
I need to list only the unique values in a range found in multiple columns. Some cells are blank. I need to list all the unique values in numeric and/or alphanumeric order in another column within the same worksheet. I would prefer non-array formulas, if possible. See the attached file.
In the attached table, I have 5 columns and 5 rows of values in the range B2:F6. The unique values, in order, are 0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5. This looks simple and can be done manually if the file is small but I have 150 columns and 150 rows, thus the need for automation.
I need a UDF to make live easier. I have a huge excel file and I need a final function (I suppose a UDF) that lists all values from a range spanning over multiple columns and rows. I would not really like a macro, since it does not update when certain values are changed.
It's part of a bigger functionality, but I need this one, really bad, since it spans over 6000 rows as the search range, and 7000 as the search values. In short: I got to list all the unique values. They are in specific cells on worksheet 1 (A1:C5 and A25:C31) and should be listed on worksheet2 starting in field A2. As 'simple' as that. Nothing more, nothing less, just list all unique values of a certain range, which I specify. If it can not be done, by selecting the two fields separately, it's no problem at all to list all values in eg A1:C6000. Do note that some of the cells will be blank, and I don't need blanks. I only need the actual data sets. I added a sample excel file, that shows a representation of the data. I can not upload the actual file, since it's way too big (60 MB). So a sample file should give you the idea.
Three sheets: Data 1: some value lists multiple columns Data 2: some value lists, again multiple columns Desired result: the result as it should be listed. example.xls. zip
I want to create a certification only list on a separate tab of training that has been completed where a certification has been issued (as indicated by a "Y" in the "Certification?" column on the training tracking tab) and then populate from some of the fields vs. all of the fields.
What I have now, only pulls the first occurence, not all occurences. I saw that I could have identified the multiple columns that needed to be populated, but it didn't work either, so I'm fine putting a separate vlookup in each column.
I have a table with 6 columns (A to F) and multiple rows each, with cells containing words. Taking the words in any one cell from each of the columns in order from A to F will form a complete sentence each time. I need a solution to display all unique possible combinations in column G.
The number of rows is different for each column. A successful result in column G has to include cells from all columns (A to F).
I searched this forum and found a few analogous questions/solutions, but nothing close enough for me to apply to my case. I tried using a concatenation formula, but I have to manually edit the formula in each cell to get all unique combinations (and that would mean thousands of times). If I just drag the formula down it will increment all cell rows instead of one cell's row at a time.
Here's an example : all possible unique combinations.jpg
I have a lookup table which needs to be able to retrieve data from columns as well as rows and not sure if this is possible.
My data is set up with an ID number, financial year and data across the columns e.g
ID F/Y Apples Pears 9999 2004/5 5 4 9999 2005/6 7 8 9881 2003/4 5 3
My lookup table will have the ID number field which will be manually entered to lookup the information on the data sheet. e.g
ID 9999 FY Apples Pears 2004/5 5 4 2005/6 7 8
I can't work out a way to get excel to only give me the number of apples and pears for that year for that ID number. Not all ID numbers will have the same number of financial years so I may need to use VBA.
I am trying to compare multiple column in a worksheet to find common component in all the columns and what is unique to a particular column only. And list the results/finding in adj column. What i am trying to accomplish is something as below.
I'm trying to get a more manageable formula for totaling multiple values in one box using Vlookup. For clarification this is what I mean:
On spreadsheet A, I have this table: [IMG][/IMG]
The value in B2 is the name of the item I am making and the items below are the components required to manufacture said item. In order to build them, I need so many (Column E) and I have indexed my remaining values simply by doing =E3-H3. To build each component requires minerals which are listed on a seperate sheet (Sheet B) as such:
[IMG][/IMG]
The only Value in the above table I am truly interested in is "Current" (E Column).
Back on SheetA, I have a second table which adds all of the component minerals up for a grand total of the minerals required to make the item in B2 as such: [IMG][/IMG]
Now, this is my issue: The code for N3 is incredibly unwieldy:
I set this up to look at a specific value and if it was >0, it would multiply that value times whatever value it found on SheetB ("Component Materials"). The size of this formula makes this difficult to migrate to further items, so I would like to reduce the complexity of the formula.
I 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 have a question dealing with a variable column and cell reference I'm using. To make it simple here's what I have done. On the FRUIT tab I have the following table in location BU132 - BV161
Name Column Apples A Pears B Corn 'VEGGIE'!A Peas 'VEGGIE'!B
I'm using the following formula to get the location of a cell on both the FRUIT and VEGGIE tab that has the value.
{where CH61-CH100 contains fruits or vegetables and where CN61 is a table that has the column reference which goes from 1 to 40)
This formula works great as long as the item is on the FRUIT tab. I can just drag the formula down the entire column and get my values for all the FRUITS listed in CH61-CH100. But, it doesn't work for any items in CH which are on the VEGGIE Tab. What syntax do I need to use in the cell next to Corn and Peas above to get this to work right?
I've used VLOOKUP based on matching one column and returning one result. No problem. Now I need to return one result based on 3 columns matching.
Assume this range of columns is named: TravelDays Origin...Location...ShipVia...TravelDays 33778...420...UPS...3 33778...425...UPS...1 33778...440...UPS...3 33778...443...UPS...3 33778...446...UPS...2 33778...447...UPS...3 33778...449...UPS...5 33778...475...UPS...3
What I'm trying to accomplish is if these columns match: i2=Lookup!TravelDays,1 E2=Lookup!TravelDays,2 N2=Lookup!TravelDays,3
I have a list of names I need to look up against another list. My problem is that the second list has a mixed formatting of Firstname Lastname and Lastname Firstname. What I did so far is create a second column that reverses the first and last names in the column.
Table1:
A B
1 Name Name (reversed)
2 John Smith Smith John
3 Jackson Laura Laura Jackson
4 Maxwell Ted Ted Maxwell
5 Chris Hansen Hansen Chris
Table2:
A B
1 Name Currently employed?
2 John Smith =IF(ISNA(VLOOKUP([A1; Table1!A:A;1;FALSE));"NO"; "YES")
3 Laura Jackson
4 Ted Maxwell
5 Chris Hansen
The VLOOKUP formula works great but I need it to look for a matching name across Table1:A:B not just Table1:A:A. How would I do this?
Basically, I have an array of data (let's say A2:D20). I then want to do a VLOOKUP across the columns A:D, and return the corresponding value in column G, if VLOOKUP can find a particular value from column F, say.
So, I need a VLOOKUP function written in G2, that finds the value E2 in EITHER A2,B2,C2 or D2 (and return what is in E2, say).
I first thought I could CONCATENATE the strings in A2, B2, C2 and D2 and use some sort of VLOOKUP that finds a string within another string.
I have two separate worksheets, and I am trying to create a Vlookup or Index and Match formula. Here is the example:
Sheet 1 Cell A1= Employee ID: 123-D.
Sheet2 Vlookup A1 from Sheet 1, and match the first five characters to Column A, Column I and Column P. If a match, return name (e.g. John Doe) in Sheet 1, cell B1.
I have a spreadsheet with twenty columns. Column A has an item number (say "Clutch"), and the remainder of the columns have values. However, there only be one column in the range B:T which will have a value on the same row as "Clutch" (say "Black" in column "N").
How I can I return "Black" using a vlookup or should I be using something else?
I have two columns of data each with repeats. I want to be able to look up the third column of data and then list the multiple results attaching to the first two columns.
I have attached a dummy spreadsheet of what I am trying to achieve.
i have the following table, i want my Vlookup not only get the description from Column K but to get column K , L , M City and Country as well and put them in Columns D for Description, E for City and F for Country. would this be possible with Vlookup formula or any other formula?
creating an equation that could essentially vlookup off multiple columns.
I get a report once a week with a list of employee ID numbers. I have a separate spreadsheet with employee names, ID 1, ID 2, ID 3, ID 4, in columns A,B,C,D,E , respectively.
I am trying to put a forumla in the report where it will take the employee ID number and reference it to my separate spreadsheet and give me back a name if it matches any of the 4 IDs that pertain to that employee.
I've tried index/match but I believe match only looks at one column.
I have an XLS sheet filled with every zip code in the US... the zips are in multiple columns adjacent to columns with the corresponding county names.
Unfortunately, the there are up to EIGHTEEN columns of zip codes in each row describing the counties... not one zip per row. I'm assuming this was done to save space.
In another sheet, I have list of client zip codes and need to VLOOKUP the corresponding county from the first sheet. I'm certain I'm not using VLOOKUP right...I'm getting #N/A every time.
Is this because it's only checking the first column of zip codes? I need it to check all 18 columns of course... there are no repeated zips.
How do I do this without rebuilding the full zip database page?
I have attached a file with an example of what i am looking for. The data in columns A and B are my original Data. There are multiple instances of e-mail address on the left but I need to bring in each data horizontally. I would like a formula to enter into E2:J6 to pull the information in.
Say in L4 on form test i want to look for the value of A4 in Drill data range a2 to z1000 and retun a concatenated string of something like "sav 407 : 08-may to 11-may"
I'm looking to simply find a function that allows me to lookup a certain value in a table of data and return the value in a specific column. So if I looked up the current date, 6/27/2011, it would return the week it is in (26). I dont want to be limited to just the monday column however, as the dates I will be throughout the entire week. Is there an easy way to do this in excel 2007?
