I need to look up the highest value in a column and then return a name in the same row as the value is found. I been playing with max and offset but they are not working for me.
There a a total of 13 sheets. Sheets 1-12 are named by months i.e. Jan, Feb, Mar, etc.. Each of these sheets contains a max temp for the day. There are cells at the bottom of each of these sheets that return the max, min, and average. The last sheet is an annual summary sheet. It collects info from the other 12 sheets and places them on it. There is a cell on the annual summary sheet that attemps (this is my problem) to determine the max and min temp for the year (easy enough). The problem is that once the sheet determines the max and min temp for the year to determine what day of what month it occurred on.
I have a column of merged cells which contains a number e.g. 396322669097172 and a time e.g. 00:00:00.
I can format this combined cell as a 'general', but think it can be formatted as any type of cell retaining this layout (after combination, prior I had to format both cells as textual), however when it is then not possible to get a maximum value from this column using a pivot table. The max comes back as zero.
I have tried using some freeware to combine the cells and I don't know what it did differently but I was able to order the values using a pivot table afterwards.
index| a| b| c| 0001 |1| 2| 2.22| ( probably it will be much clear to see the attachment)
I need to lookup for the largest number in B2:D2 (in this case 2.22) and return the corresponding header ("C"). I though it would be simple with hlookup() and max() but i can't make it work.
How to lookup for greater than a given particular value in a list of data? Suppose the value to find is in cell C17 & the column to be looked for is F, in the attached sheet. Now the data range is from F8:L27. If the value in C17 is not present in Column L, then the value greater than the specifed value should be searched in Column L. I have tried using VLOOKUP, but cannot find for a range of values.
I have searched your forums and thought I had found a sufficient answer but could not get the vba to work. So any help is greatly appreciated. I am trying to determine a max value from a list then put that value in a cell. Next I want to determine how many times and on what day that max value occured. From there take the value and concatenate them adding a "," between them I have attached an example. I would like the values placed in cells F1 and H1 (the other is a min value and when it occurred)
I was hoping that my formula would give me the count number based on the Maximum time (latest time) and the Name field...My result is a 0 instead of 62 (the correct answer).
Look in Column E and find the MAX value. Once you find the MAX value, (let's say E27) display the date that's in C27. I bet this is really easy but I've been screwing around with it for over a half hour and can't get the correct result.
I have two columns of data. The first column is the 'type' and the second column is the 'value'. I need to find the maximum 'value' for each individual 'type'
The 'types' are not necessarily next to each other and the data cannot be sorted to do so.
Example: type value A 15 B 6 A 21 C 7 B 13
I need to be able to say the MAX for 'A' is 21, the MAX for 'B' is 13 and the MAX for 'C' is 7.
I'm trying to cross-reference three sets of criteria to find my result; however, I can't get the VLOOKUP function to perform correctly for this need. Maybe I'm using the wrong function.
I attached a simple workbook to highlight my challenge. The over-simplified language that I included in the attachment, which highlights my problem, is as follows:
IF: (B5=Sheet2!B4:B12) ---> This line finds the correct row to reference, on the Control sheet. (year(C2)=Control!C3:E3) ---> This line chooses the correct annual column on the Control sheet, for the given month (e.g., use 2014 assumptions for a 2014 month). (month(C2)=Control!E14) ---> This line counts the expense only in the month when the expense recurs (e.g., April 2014, April 2015).
THEN: SUM(Control!C4:E12) ---> This line finds the specific number based on the criteria above.
I'm having serious difficulties with getting together a formula for a little bit complicated lookup.
I have 2 tables. In the first table I have categories in the first column (e.g. red, blue, green), in the second column I have dates (DD.MM.YYYY). And in the third column I would like to get the values from the second table.
In the second table I also have categories in the first column, dates in the second column und values in the third.
I would now like to get the values from the second table that coincide with the categories. And in addition the dates should also be equal to the date in the first table OR the date from the second table should be as close as possible but BEFORE the date in the first table.
Example Table1 Red 07.08.2005 ???
Table 2 Red 18.04.2005 three Blue 11.06.2005 one Red 06.08.2005 four
In this example the value that should be looked up is "four".
See attached a sample from a larger workbook I am working on. What i would like to do is in the Rec tab column G, keep the references from columns L & M as the Table Array and Column Index Number. I have =VLOOKUP(F:F,L:L,M:M,0), I would like to have =VLOOKUP(F:F,whatever tab reference is in column L as table array,whatever number is in column M as index number,0). I have included what I would like the data to look like in coulmn H.
in the above table I need to the sum of WC for each Language code & batch no. eg. for Language "id" & batch 1 I need to get the SUM of WC corresponding to the criteria.
I have a worksheet(Shed) and the range where numbers will be entered are B3:E46. In another sheet(Location) I have a in column A "Shift #", B "Shift Bus #" C "Location". what I am attempting to do is when a bus number is entered into Shed! ie.. b3=900, d15=350 etc.... Location! would lookup ie.900 in the Shed! and match it to Location! (column B) and from there provide the cell ref in column C. So I could then print Location! that would give me in Shift # order where each Bus # the shift is assigned to.
I want to create a series of VLOOKUP commands with different lookup tables whose names are concatenated from two different pieces. Here's what I'm trying to do:
LUTWK01, etc., are named ranges. I have the text "WK01", "WK02", "WK03" stored in other places, and would like to be able to concatenate "LUT" and the particular week (e.g., "WK01"). The formula that I've created, which isn't working is:
VLOOKUP(x,CONCATENATE("LUT",A1),y, false) where cell A1=WK01.
When I pull out just the CONCATENATE portion, it resolves to LUTWK01, but apparently this is not recognized as a range name. Any idea as to how I make the VLOOKUP formula recognize a concatenated range name? Or is there a better way to do this?
I have attached a spreadsheet with a small amount of the data I need to use. This is the distance between customers in kms. I need to be able to have excel look up the cell reference for distance between two customers though they will not always be the same customers every day in the same order.
i just want to use vlookup and hlookup to give me the row and column headings for 30 to 40 sesor at a time.... but i keep getting #n/a whenever the functions meet a table of more than one column! (reduced workbook attached)
it should surely be simple to get this data - but i've struggled to no avail. I thought that having the four separate worksheets was the problem - but i haven't had any look even when i dump the data into a single worksheet!
i basically just want excel to return the cell reference of a sensor number which exists in a table. sometimes a sensor can appear more than once, but its not very common and i could happily work around that by doing the manual search (ctrl f, find all).
any advice would be very much appreciated, i'm struggling and the number of sensors i need to test will increase in the coming months.. please help!
should i even be using vlookup and hlookup? ive tried all the other excel functions, but they don't seem to be useful?
I have encountered some difficulty in modifying a macro I wrote into what I need. I created a macro that searches a column (Column C) for a cell value of, "stop", and then it copies everything above that cell and pastes it onto another sheet. In the sample data set that I was using, "stop" first occurred in cell C541, so the macro copies C1:C540 and pastes it onto another sheet. The problem is that the macro created an absolute reference to C540. What I desire is for the macro to use the 'Find' function to locate the first occurrence of, "stop", offset one cell above that cell, and then reference the active cell (which was positioned by these last two steps) in the range that should be copied. Basically, I'm hoping to have cells C1 through the active cell copied and then pasted onto another sheet.
A 'Days Attended' cell (N8) and a 'Days Absent' cell (O8). N8 needs to count the number of "Present" values there are on another worksheet. The other worksheet has dates across the top and names down the side.
When i use =COUNTIF("Attendance!C9:Z9", "Present"), and the next date comes along the formula changes to =COUNTIF("Attendance!D9:AA9", "Present")
ie. the reference moves a column across - the new date's absent or present is not counted. Using =COUNTIF(INDIRECT("Attendance!C9:Z9"), "Present"). is no good because when i add a new name i need the row reference to move down as a row is inserted. ie. both person's formulas count the same row. So, my question: I need the columns to stay the same - C:Z (leyway for future dates) and the rows to change as i insert or delete people from the system.
I have lets say 12 months of data. I have formulas that reference the latest 6 months. When I insert a new column to input a new month, how can I make the formulas include the new months without manually updating them.
EXAMPLE:
12 months of data exist in cells B3:M3 going from B3(oldest) to M3(newest). Formulas reference latest 6 months of data in cells H3:M3. When a new month hits, I insert a column after column M.I would like the formulas to now reference cells I3:N3 which is now the newest 6 months.
I have a workbook with 1000+ worksheets, all of which have 3-letter names. On a master sheet, I would like to make a query of how many non-empty cells there are on a subsidiary worksheet. This works:
Code: =COUNTA(ABC!A:A) What I'd like to do from time to time is input in column A a varying set of 3-letter worksheet names, say
AAB ABC CDE
And have a formula in column B that converts this to
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.
Excel offers many ways to use a key to lookup a value (VLookup, Index/Match, DGet, and the rest). What's the fastest way to perform a lookup of a small table of, say, 30 rows of key-value pairs? Theoretically, it would be most efficient to use a branch table (also known as a jump table). See the wikipedia article for branch tables: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Branch_table. Does Excel/VBA have a way to create a branch table for such lookups?
