Is there a way to use the lookup function in reverse? The "lookup vector" on mine has to be descending, that is it it is a column going from high values at the top of the page to lower values at the bottom of the page. When using lookup function in this setup, excel gives me to wrong answer for some reason. If I make the lookup vector ascending, it works, but unfortunately the vector has to be descending in my worksheet.
View 2 Repliesi have tried: =VLOOKUP(TODAY()-7,A2:M2000,3) to return data that corresponds to a date 1 week ago. Unfortunatley, it does not work because my dates in the array are in descending order. The order cannot be changed... is there another function I can use to return the value I am looking for?
View 4 Replies View RelatedI am looking up values L, M, and S from a seperate worksheet based on two factors. age in months, and gender. I have read enough to figure out how to lookup values L,M,S one at a time using a vectorlookup, from one worksheet to another. However, the LMS values being looked up are for females only. I know I must get the gender codes worked in but not sure how to work this in.
I don't know if I need an and If function, to meet the gender (1male, 2 female) or what.
I have = LOOKUP(REPT("z",255),CHOOSE({1,2},"",LOOKUP(C3,{1,2,3},{2,1,0}) )) in cell D3. C3=1 so I expected a result of D3=2. Instead I am getting a blank cell.
View 4 Replies View RelatedI am wondering if there is a way to drag a formula, for instance, down, and each cell that I drag down, it references one cell to the right.
Excel Example.png
I attached a photo -- I understand that this is an overly simplified example, but the idea is that it would reference the row as you drag down the column.
= LOOKUP(L4,' Speed Charts'!A4:A73,'Speed Charts'!B4:B73)
I want to filldown this formula, but the comparison range ( sheet 2, columns A & B, rows 4-73) never changes. how can accomplish this so when i use ctrl-d, only L4 updates (to L5, L6, L7, etc..), but the range remains the same?
by default, filldown tool updates the range to A5:A74, A6:A75, A7:A76, etc
if it helps i'm using this forumla to:
1) take a value (L4)
2) find this value in the first range (somewhere in sheet 2 column A)
3) enter the corresponding value (sheet 2 column b, same row)
Is it possible to set up a lookup function with two lookup values? For example, say I have a list of items such as:
1 A 14
1 B 22
2 C 84
4 D 25
I'd like to have the lookup go to the above table and find the number 1 and the letter B and return 22. I can't seem to visualize how to make this work.
i am setting up registrations for workshops at a conference.
each room holds 75 people.
what i would like to do is put the total room capacity at the bottom of the column and then, each time i put a check mark in the column, have the column total descend to zero so i know when i have to stop accepting registrations for that particular workshop.
is there any formula that would allow me to do this?
Returning Descending Values
I currently use the following to find the max number is a column:
=MAX($P$4:$P$65536). If I wanted to find the second highest, then the third highest, etc.. how would this be written?
In my spreadsheet, one cell in every row has a string that contains the invoice number. I would like to get the invoice number in a cell of it's own. The problem is that different vendors use different lengths of characters for their inv #, so I can't do a one size fits all MID formula.
What would be the best way of getting the invoice number?
I'm new to excel and am attempting to use an IF(AND function that requires the use of two LOOKUP tables for the IF conditions, I have been unable so far to generate the answer I'm looking for.
I have a set of data in two columns, column A which has a series of dates from 1/09/2013 - 30/09/2013 (multiple for each date), and column F which has a series of 4 digit numbers (employee numbers). I also have two columns where I can enter in values for LOOKUP tables, one column for dates (O2:O4) and another for employee numbers (Q2:Q17).
What I am trying to achieve is a True/False answer in a final column for IF A2 = value from column (table) O2:O4, AND F2 = value from column (table) Q2:Q17. For the querry to be true the values in column A and column F must meet both conditions, be from a date in column O2:O4 and also be an employee from column Q2:Q17
=IF(AND(A2=LOOKUP(A2,O2:O4),F2=LOOKUP(F2,Q2:Q17),"Yes","No")
Currently I get a #NA error and I know its due to my formula not being anywhere near correct, as far as I can tell it's a result of the LOOKUP part of the formula I'm attempting to create, as it generates a #NA area when the data does not meet the criteria in the columns (tables), I have attempted to include a ISNA section to the formula to alter the result if the data does not meet the two conditions but when applied to the whole data set it only responds with a False answer even if the data meets both conditions.
I am trying to replicate a payslip from a list of data on a worksheet.
The list of data contains the employee name, location they worked, and number of hours.
Each employee will work at multiple locations throughout the month, perhaps 10 or so.
The payslip must contain each location worked along with the relevant data, in a list so to speak.
What function can I use to pull this in? Of course if it were one location I would use vlookups to pull in data. As this only returns the top match I would then need a different formula to pull in the second location in the cell underneath?
I am trying to use the INDIRECT function to look up values on a range of other worksheets. I have a column of data in col A which is essentially a lot of different worksheet names. On each worksheet I need to use VLOOKUP to find a value.
Easier to show formulas. This is an example of what I want to recreate:
=VLOOKUP(O2, test!B3:C13,2,FALSE)
I want to replace the text "test" with the text in column A. So the first INDIRECT formula looks like this:
=INDIRECT("VLOOKUP(O2, " &A1& "!B3:C13,2,FALSE)")
Which to me looks like it should work but I get a #REF! error. I've tried various permutations, e.g. having the INDIRECT part of the formula located in a different place (next to the "test" text) but run in to similar issues.
I have attached a sample spreadsheet which describes my problem.
In C2 and C3 under the first business coalitions column, I have written in text what I would like to be displayed automatically with a formula. The trouble is that, as you can see, Abbott Laboratories is a member of 3 business coalitions. Therefore, a simple vlookup doesn't work because that would only return 1 result.
I have a workbook with 2 different types of sheet - 1 containing source data and the others 'collecting' data from the source sheet, depending on what the sheet is for.
For example, the data source contains different pets, their names, ages and their owners.
The other sheets are on a one-per-owner basis.
What I would like to do is use a LOOKUP / MATCH function to lookup the owner name typed in cell A1 of the output sheet and match it with the corresponding owner name(s) on the source sheet. I would then like it to return with each pet and append the results on the sheet accordingly - like below:
John Smith (in cell A1)
Pet - Name - Age
-------------------
Dog - Rover - 3
Goldfish - Tom - 1
Gerbil - Chewit - 4
I am trying to perform a lookup (vlookup) function in a cell in excel and wish to have the range as a variable, so that I can adjust which column the lookup function refers to.
View 4 Replies View RelatedI am trying to use lookup function to lookup for data in another table (we call it table A). Unfortunately, whenever the code is not in the table A, Excel will return the data from the previous row.... is there any possible way to prevent this... in another word, if the code does not exist in the table A, I want Excel to return 0 or some other figures.

View 6 Replies View RelatedI want to use the V lookup function to return a value, but rather than returning the value in the same row as the match in the specified column, I want to return the value in the cell below.
Eg.
=VLOOKUP(B397, A$267:H$351, 7, FALSE)
... but rather than returning the value in column 7 on the row that matched with B397, I want the field below.
I have a table of data (say Column1 to Column 5) with multiple rows.
Column 1 to 4 will have the lookup values in multiple rows and Column 5 data should be picked up using vlookup or other lookup function.
I managed to somehow bring all these lookup values in (Column 1 to 4) in a single column in another sheet. I am now trying to use some lookup or other functions to match this single column and pick column 5 data in original sheet. Result i am expecting is lookup value in first column and next to it column 5 value.
It is basically a lookup wherein lookup value is spread over multiple rows and columns and result column is fixed. I tried using vlookup, but lookup value column and column number had to change every time when i moved from column1 to 4.
I am having a bit of a problem creating a formula for this report that I have to update every week. I need to be able to find the room nights and net room revenue values for the specific rate code in the "MATRIX" workbook.
On "CURRENT REPORT," I need D4 to pull up the value on "MATRIX" that equals "Room Nights" in column H and "CONABC" in column J. The same thing needs to happen for F4 but with "Net Room Revenue" in column H. The full report has about 500 of these codes in column J, and I need a formula that I can copy easily and will not be affected if codes are added or removed. This is super last minute - I need to finish this report by tomorrow morning, so take a look at the attachments.

I'm looking for a way to automatically convert a list of values into a matrix.
For example,
A1A11000
A1A2998
A1A3468
A1A4491
A2A1998
[Code] .......
should be converted to
A1A2A3A4
A11000998468491
A29981000464488
A34684641000992
A44914889921000
In this case it could still easily be done manually, but if the matrix has more dimensions it will get harder.
I am running a fairly complex simulation at work and have quite a few different functions in it. For the simulation to work properly, i need to have the Solver add-in and the Analysis ToolPak installed. Everytime that i try and use the simulation on a different computer (or if anyone else tries to run it) the add-ins must be enabled again. Is there a way to set up a macro to enable them when either i open the simulation (first preference) or when a button is pressed (2nd preference).

1) How do make values on x-axis as words? E.g. apples, oranges, etc.
2) Is it possible to have the numbers on x-axis in descending order? If I can figure out 1), I can do this as well, but it would be nice to know if it is possible to have the numbers on x-axis in descending order.
I have 3 Sheets named Paid, Rejected, and Reprocessed.
On the Paid and Rejected sheets I have 2 fields Customer # (Column A), and Amount (Column Q). (The customer # field has many duplicates but the amounts are never duplicates)
On the Reprocessed sheet I have all the rejected items (all fields) and also a field named Reprocessed. I need to use a formula that will check the Paid sheet for any items that have the same Customer # and Amount and return the amount
There are 8,216 rejected items and 45,047 paid items. Some items were originally rejected have been reprocessed and show under paid.
Any thoughts on which formula I should use?
I have a problem with the formula that lookup all values in ascending order and returning all the corresponding values. eg: I was intended to lookup for the value in ascending order under the Total Occurrence and returning all the corresponding value under the Nos Group but encountered the same Nos Group was returned when there is same value appeared under the Total Occurrence.
