I'm using a formula to lookup names within text and return that name to a separate column if it's found.
The formula is =INDEX($E$1024:$E$1026,MATCH(FALSE,ISERROR(FIND($E$1024:$E$1026,E1010)),0))
I understand index and match functions, but I'm confused regarding the use of FALSE as the lookup value and the iserror(find( usage.
Im trying to create a formula that check to see if the value in H4 equal any value in the vlookup table m4:m48, if so, then Y, if not then N. the following does not work: =IF(ISNA(MATCH(H4,M$4:M$48)),"N","Y")
View 2 Replies View RelatedI need to create a macro that will loop through a list of names on Sheet 1 / Column A, and if that name is listed on Sheet 2 / Column A, then it will set Sheet 1 Column B (for that one name) to "1".
The problem I've run in to is that both the lists change in length each time I have to run this (so no set range).
I've been able to get this to work with two ( nested) loops, where the first loop goes through the Sheet 1 list and the nested Loop looks for the name on Sheet2, but it is extremely slow.
Is there any simple VBA code or formula that I'm missing that could do this? I've tried to do something with the " Find" VBA command, but I can't see how it would apply to this if the list changes in size.
I am looking for a formula to return the column number of the array when a specific text is found, in this case the text is "Yes"
The Array will only ever be 5 cells beside each other in a row
for example, M4:Q4, will be as follows - No No No Yes No
I want a formula to look at these 5 cells and return the number 4 as that is where the "Yes" value is
on one sheet we have a summary of the main list, which includes totals of money recieved, totals of all the different sources (ie, where they heard about us from), the totals of the frequencies they pay (ie, how many donate monthly, quarterly...) ... etc. on the next sheet we have the "main" list of donors, their IDs, amounts, frequency, source ...
the totals on the first sheet are updated manually, but i want to change that as there are a great number of errors.
I am trying to look in B1:B100 for the Cell that matches A1 and C1:C100 for the cell that matches A2 then return the value from D1:D100 that meets the 2 criteria.
View 6 Replies View RelatedI am trying to use a formula similar to VLOOKUP() to look in a table for two values and if both values are found, return another value.
Sheet2 is an example of my output file, sheet one is a generated file. i would like the vlookup formula in sheet 2 cell D2 and down to be something like this,
=VLOOKUP(A2,Sheet1!A:K,10)
But I would like to lookup A2 and B2, and the row that contains both values, return the value in the J column
If lookup doesn't find a match in the first column, can I get it to return an
"ERR" or "0", something that would let me know there was no match? Right now
it returns the value in the second column of the closest value.
I have a list of ID Numbers and Dates. Let's call this "List 1".
I also have a second list "List 2" which also contains a list of ID Numbers and Dates as well as a third column for Rating.
I am trying to extract the Rating for each ID Number from List 2 and display in List 1. The problem is that the Rating can change with time, so List 2 contains several different Date and Rating values for the same ID Number.
What I need to do is lookup the ID Number from List 1 and return from List 2, for that ID Number, the Rating at the closest date prior to the date for that ID Number in List 1. Example below:
List 1
List 2
ID Number
Date
Rating

I need to concatenate varying numbers of cells based on duplicates found in a separate column, but I'm not sure how to approach it. I have 41,000+ rows of data, so I have to find a formula.
Example:
1AB2Denton, PaulFB357D4D3OwensTest, MarcyFB539F934Brennan,
JosephFB539F935Bowser, AmyFB539F936LaRock, ChuckFB667D3B
Based on duplicates in column B, I want to combine the data in column A into one cell. The duplicates in column B could be only 2, or could be 20+.
I need to look up the name in E2 in the list in column A and if it matches then lookup name in F2 in list column b, if it matches then the corresponding number in column C is displayed in column G. If neither names are in the 2 columns the words"Not on lists" is displayed in cell in column G.
The other problem is one name is spelled two different ways I want it to look for both spelling before moving on to looking up the second name.
I started with this formula but I'm getting #N/A or "not on list" when they are on the list. I'm using ranges prod_sum is columns AthruC, Last_name is range BthruC. =IF(AND(VLOOKUP(F4,prod_sum,3,0),VLOOKUP(I4,last_name,2,0)),"not on list")
Having an issue with an array formula.
{IFERROR(INDEX('sheet2'!$A$2:$A$14,SMALL(IF('sheet2'!$C$2:$C$14="X",
ROW('sheet2'!$A$2:$A$14)-ROW('sheet2'!$A$1)),C$2),1),"")}.
Originally I did not need to skip any rows, but now I have to skip certain rows. I've tried using my current array formula and skipping the rows not needed but can't get it to work.
{IFERROR(INDEX('sheet2'!$A$2:$A$5,$A$9:$A$14:SMALL(IF('sheet2'!$C$2:$C$5,$C$9:$C$14="X",
ROW('sheet2'!$A$2:$A$5,$A$9:$A$14)-ROW('sheet2'!$A$1)),C$2),1),"")}.
Can this still be done with an array formula? I need to skip rows 6, 7, 8. Not sure what I'm doing wrong but no names are appearing. Sheet 1 looks like this with "Job Titles" starting in A2 on sheet1.
Job Titles
Dept.
1
2

4
Claims
CSI
Outb Calls
CSI
Notifications
CSI

I tried a new formula in cell C3
:=IFERROR(INDEX(Sheet2!$A$2:$A$14,SMALL(IF(ROW(Sheet2!$C$2:$C$14)=9,
IF(Sheet2!$C$2:$C$14="x",ROW(Sheet2!$A$2:$A$14)-ROW(Sheet2!$A$1)))),C$2),1),"") entered as an array.
I should see the name "C. Pepper" followed by "L. Smith" when I copy the formula to the right into D3, "J. Rast" would be skipped as these are the rows not being picked up, but nothing is showing.
Sheet 2 looks like this with "Staff Name" starting in cell A1:
Staff Name
Mgr
Claims
Outb Calls
Notifications
Evaluator

I have a column of first and last names that sometimes look like this: Smith, Michael D and other times look like this Smith, Michael (no middle initial) I would like to separate them into two separate columns, one for First name and the other for last name. I have no use for the middle initial so that can be ignored.
View 4 Replies View RelatedI currently have the below formula to search for text of interest (A1) within each cell of a column (B6:B30).
=IF(ISERROR(MATCH(A1,$B$6:$B$30,0)),"NO","YES")
The formula works perfectly if there is only a single value in the cells. But not so well when the cell has multiple values separated by a comma.
For example:
Column B
X
Y
Z
T, X, Y, Z
It would return a "Yes" for X, Y, and Z because those are found individually. However, T will appear as a "No", because it is found within a cell that is separated by commas.
i have list in A2:A4 (description) and B2:B4 is the Group of.
now i want B2:B4 fill using E2:G2 (group list which is Animal, transportation and fruit) if one of the key word in E3:G5 found in A2:A4
A2: people like to eat apple
A3: car is very expensive
A4 : dog is human best friend
E2: Animal, F2 : transportation, G2: Fruit
E3:E5 = dog, cat, horse
F3:F5 = train, ship, car
G3:G5 = apple, banana, watermelon
result i want is :
B2 :Fruit,
B3 : transportation
and B4 is animal
I'm trying to create a macro that can lookup values down a list, find that value within another list and copy the adjacent cells.
The values to look for will always be on the same column and the values to look into will always be in the same range or columns but not always in the same row.
For example.
AI:AI contains a list of ID's which will be manually input every day so they might have a different order.
C:AF has all the data to look into. C always being a list of ID values and I want for every ID found on AI:AI to be search for on C:C: and then once a match is found, I need specific adjancent cell values to be copied next to the ID found on AI.
The values that need to be returned are found on columns B,D,F,G,H,I,J,P,AF and they will always display on those columns.
I've been doing this based on vlookup and INDEX/MATCh formulas but I've come across some limitations for something I want to develop further so I'm trying to do this based on VBA.
The formula has to include a range across each row (for each student). The formula has to search for specific text contained in the classnames, and then return the result along the same row.
Below is an example, which I hope saves OK in the thread. If not I'll upload an Excel file:
A B C D Results:-
1 class1 class2 class3 class4 Gg Hi Fr Sp
2 10m/Gg1 10m/Hi2 10m/Fr1 10m/En1 TRUE TRUE TRUE FALSE
3 10n/Hi1 10n/En2 10n/Sp1 10n/Ma1 FALSE TRUE FALSE TRUE
Looking to find 1 of 2 words in a cell in column B and return the word found in the same row in column E. This seemed easy but I am not having any luck.
the cells in column B have several words in them but I am looking for 2 specific words "PLAT" and "ORIG". If the word is not in the cell, it should show a blank cell in column E in the same row, otherwise one of the 2 words should be in that row in column E. A VBA loop would be ideal but a formula that can do it might work as well.
I've been given a spreadsheet that is poorly constructed but I'm not allowed to alter.
The layout is:
Box Name Box Date ID1 ID2 ID3 ....
Where there is not a fixed number of IDs in each box
(There are five different sheets so I'll have some fun concatenating results)
Given a list of IDs I need to return the box name and box date that the ID's file sits in. The spreadsheet has blanks everywhere and the numbers contained in rows are non-consecutive and smaller values can appear later in a column than larger ones.
I think I need some combination of index, offset and maybe sumproduct? TBH, I avoid sumproducts like the plague, preferring to utilise sumifs and dynamic named ranges since this improves clarity so I'm basically a newb at them.
Any skeleton framework that you think would work to return the text values for the LHS where the number could be anywhere? Once I can see a rough example I should be able to get to grips with the logic and wrangle it into the necessary solution.
I have two workbooks used for periodically updating product pricing to wholesale customers, one of which has all the product computation info and the other all the customers and products they buy. There is one main sheet in the product information book that has all the products going down the first column with a code for each item. The headings of many of its columns represent variations in packaging. The combination of product and package variations result in the customer's unique price.
I am seeking to find the intersection of product and packaging using names rather than cell numbers. Right now I am able to use VLOOKUP with the product name and named range from lookup sheet but I seem forced to use the column number rather than column heading name. As there are a lot of columns it's easy to lose track or make mistakes. Column name would be much preferred. We are still using Excel 2000.
Example of current reference:
=VLOOKUP("productname",mainlist,24,0)
I would like to use something other than 24 for the lookup column, like 'packagename' instead. I have reviewed the INDEX and MATCH functions but haven't figured out how to accomplish what I am after. Incidentally, 'mainlist' is a named range in a separate workbook but referencing as shown above has worked without a hitch.
I've been searching the forums for this problem but I can't seem to find any answers. Anyway, this is the problem. See screenshot.
I want to compare A1 for the values in column B, then return the corresponding cell (column C) in column D.
e.g. D1 = 2, D2 = 1, D3 = 4, D4 = 5 and D5 = 3.
Sheet2:
col A = contains the style#
col B = contains the color of the style
col C = contains the size of the style
col D = contains the qty of the style,color, size
Sheet1:
I would like to do the following:
A1 = input the style #
B1 = input the color of that style
C1 = input the size of that style
then D1 should automatically contain the qty of the mentioned style, color, and size.
Cell H1 has a variable string of references for eg
"FI570783AQ3516346EQ3516346FXVB123456"
I want to return the reference beginiing with "FXVA" so it would ignore the rest and only return FXVB123456 - this should always be 10 characters.
Just to add another complication to the mix, there may be 2 "FXVA" references in the string and i want to get both (these can be in the same string so FXVB123456FXEL123456 - but this might not happen regularly.
What I would like to do is if a string e.g. "*12/18/09*" is found in column A, then place "1" in column B. There are many rows that I would like to search. Either a formula or VBA would be fine.
View 6 Replies View RelatedI'm writing some code where I need to know the column in which a specifc text string occurs. Because of the nature of the sheet, the string will only appear in one column, but that could be in almost any column on the worksheet.
For example say the text string is "Year 1", I need to find the column with this string, and then offset down to a predetermined row, or offset over to the appropriate column (something like below).

.Offset(0, x).Select
If List.Selected(0) = True Then

I am trying to automate the account classification of credit card (cc) expenses. The problem is charges to USAirways will always have random numbers after the vendor name on the cc download. I set USAIRWAYS as a Travel Expense and a simple Vlookup will not work.
For example, let's say a data dump in column C of the CC:
cell C2 is USAIRWAYS 037232A49429
CeLL C3:
USAIRWAYS 037282hf39647
Cell C4:
Facebook A8476H4
In column E I have my simple vendor name. Column F as the Vendor Account. For example E1 is USAIRWAYS. F1 is Travel Expense. E2 is FaceBook. F2 is Marketing Expense
In cell D2 & D3 I want to return Travel Expense anytime the formula sees USAirways in cell C2 returning the answer in column F after matching w/ column E. In cell D4 I want to return Marketing Expense.

View 7 Replies View RelatedI have a database of customers that are all sorted by a customer number.
I have a form that has a number of fields that display customer info. When I use a blank of this form and put the customer number in it's correct field, all the other info fields do a vlookup on the customer number in the database file and return the info, such as phone numbers, name, address, etc.
Here's my question;
How can I check for a blank (using ISBLANK, I assume) to check to see if the customer number exists in our database and, if it's NOT blank, operate on it with the following example which is used to return their insurance expiration date.
=IF((VLOOKUP(B9,'[carrier list.xls]Sheet1'!$A$2:$P$1276,3,FALSE))<TODAY(),"EXPIRED",VLOOKUP(B9,'[carrier list.xls]Sheet1'!$A$2:$P$1276,3,FALSE))

I am trying to clean up and simplify my macros by compartmentalizing frequently repeated commands. I like to search for text in column headings and define the cell containing it as a range that I can later use .column or .row commands on, so my macros are a bit more flexible. The code I currently use for this is
Dim XColumn As Range ‘the cell containing the text “X”
Cells.Select
Selection.Find(What:="X", After:=ActiveCell, LookIn:=xlFormulas, _
LookAt:=xlPart, SearchOrder:=xlByRows, SearchDirection:=xlNext, _
MatchCase:=False, SearchFormat:=False).Activate
Set XColumn = ActiveCell
I would like to be able to create a Macro (possibly name FindSetCell()) that will accept arguments and achieve the results of the above code in other macros
I think the command might look something like FindSetCell(“text to be searched for”,”name of newly Defined Range”) But I have not figured out how to code it
