Advanced Lookup Or Sorting
Aug 17, 2007I have a large amount of raw data that I import via a text file into Excel. Here is an example of the data in order for me to illustrate my question.
USD COUPON ENTRY PREVIOUSLY DELAYED
S/N 0243**** dfssdfsdf S 9.37500 07/02/11 USD
REC. 23/07/07 DUE 07/08/07 CPN.AMNT USD 23.437500 Q
NAR. FUNDS RECEIVED
SCA. USD 10860000
-----------------------------------------------------
NET USD 254531.25+ 07/08/07
-----------------------------------------------------
DACE REFERENCE IS *******
On a seperate workbook I have a list of money amounts which I need to find the S/N # for. So if you look above, there is a money amount and a S/N within the raw data. My question is, what can I do to take the money amount from the first workbook and search for that amount in the raw data, then return the S/N number that is within that same area? And do it via a macro or advanced formula so that I can do I many times over?
Keep in mind, even when I delimit the data, it's all in different columns and rows, and never consistently spaced.
Multiple Lookup Values Rows And Columns To Lookup Single Target Column On Right End?
Apr 7, 2014I 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.
Fastest Lookup Method: Use A Key To Lookup A Value (VLookup, Index/Match, DGet, And The Rest)
Mar 26, 2008Excel 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?

Apr 27, 2009I want to be able to lookup if anywhere in a cell contains a word from a list of words, and then provides an output.
Column G:
VAT payment
HMRC payment
Pay VAT
I have a table on the side that shows:
Column Y Column Z
VATHMRC
HMRC HMRC
ie. If anything in column G matches one of the words in Column Y, then output the Column Z. I have use a Vlookup that works for the first two, as VAT is the first thing, but dont know how to make it work if the key word is in the middle of the cell.
LOOKUP / MATCH Function To Lookup The Owner Name Typed In Cell
Jan 2, 2009I 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
Lookup Table (adjust Which Column The Lookup Function Refers To)

Jan 26, 2010I'm making my own gradebook (attached) and one of my sheets will list scores for each student in different assignments. I have one sheet which keeps track of all students and all assignments with other info. I would like to program cells in one sheet (the third in the attached file) to lookup a particular student's grade in a particular assignment. I figured trying a LOOKUP with an AND requirement might work but it keeps returning the message "could not find value".
My formula references the student's name and the assignment from the identifying cells so that it is easy to copy and paste. I wondered if it was this which resulted in the error, but doubt it.
Lookup Function To Lookup For Data In Another Table
Jul 29, 2008I 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.

Nov 28, 2006here is an example....
(this is on a sheet called Summary)
----A--------B --------C------- D
1Names----At Bats----Hits----Batting Average
2Tom-------38--------31------.816
3Derek------19--------14------.737
4Joey-------40--------28------.700
5Chris-------40--------27------.675
6Chuck------37--------24------.649
Using the LARGE function, Excel has created a list based on batting averages(on a separate sheet called Line-up). It looks like this.....
---A----------B
1Names----Averages
2 -----------.737
3 -----------.700
4 -----------.675
5 -----------.816
6 -----------.649
The problem I am having is figuring a way for Excel to also bring the corresponding names (after using the LARGE function to create the line up list).
Lookup Matching Data & Subtract From Another Lookup
Jun 12, 2007I have a very large spreadsheet of customer information(I call it the master spreadsheet). Each row contains only 3 things: Account number, product bought, Price
Later I receive the money from the customer for that product(the pay sheet) that contains the exact same thing in the same order: Account number, Product bought, Price paid.
What I'm trying to do is compare the two spreadsheets so that when i receive the pay sheet of cusomters who have paid with the amount it will deduct it from the master sheet.
So it should compare account numbers when it finds a match then it should subtract the amount paid (column C) from the master spreadheet price column(column C also).
sometimes customers don't pay the right price so it has to be a subtraction so I can see if it was over paied, underpaid etc.
Right now I'm still doing it manually combining the two documents sorting it by account number and checking for matches in column A (account number).
Lookup Table That Will Lookup The Tuition
May 1, 2007I need to place a lookup table in a work book and I'm not sure how to do it.Below is what I specifically need in my workbook.
c. The workbook will need a lookup table that will lookup the tuition, clothing
and entertainment figures depending on the selection of college, and will
ensure that only the colleges on the list are selectable. That is, the
worksheet will not allow the user to enter another college not in the list.
The lookup list must be on a worksheet by itself at the end of the workbook.
Lookup Formula With Two Lookup Values
Nov 12, 2008I 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?

Set Up A Lookup Function With Two Lookup Values?
Apr 18, 2008Is 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.
Lookup Formula: Find The Longitude And Latitude Data From My "lookup" Sheet
Jan 28, 2009In my workbook I have multiple sheets but I'm attaching a very simple workbook to demonstrate what I'm trying to accomplish. In my "Lookup" tab/sheet. I want to have known Latitude and Longitude data that will exist in columns A&B. Columns C & D will have address numbers and Street Name. I would like my lookup formula to find the longitude and latitude data from my "lookup" sheet, when the matching address information is typed in, in my 2009 sheet. I have to keep the street numerics and street name separate on this worksheet as well. I believe I'll need two separate lookup formulas as I need these formulas to start in cell G4 & H4 in my "GeoCoding1" sheet. Is it possible to have four columns of data to be viewed in a lookup formula? I tried this formula in cell G4 (GeoCoding1 sheet)

Lookup Result Of A Lookup

Double Lookup (lookup Variable Row And A Variable Column)
Mar 27, 2009I have a file that I would like to lookup variable row and a variable column. I have tired vlookup and hlookup but these do not work because you have to specify a given column or row versus having that column or row be variable. Is there a way to do this.
Think of a set of times tables. I would like to input 8 and 9 and get 72 as an output. How could I go about doing this?
Or in the attached file, I would like to say A and 15 and get A15.

Sorting MP3 With VBA
Oct 4, 2003I don't understand all of it, but I observed that it works only with mp3 with tag id v1, not v2, anyway I also see another code for tag id v2 given by NateO.
But before entering in detail of what I want, is it possible to edit tag id v1 or even v2, with VBA? Because I want to complete my mp3 informations that are missing, or modify the wrong one, in excel, and then with a macro update my mp3 files...
I've found this code on the forum to get my mp3 informations :
Option Explicit
Public Type mp3Info
Header As String * 3
Title As String * 30
Artist As String * 30
Album As String * 30
Year As String * 4
Comment As String * 30
Genre As Byte
End Type
Sub Getmp3Info()
Dim mp3ID As mp3Info
Dim lngRow As Long, lngFile As Long
Dim lngFileCnt As Long
With Application.FileSearch
.NewSearch
.Filename = "*.MP3"
.LookIn = "H:Daniel" 'Change this to the folder you wish to search
.SearchSubFolders = True........................
Sorting
Jun 21, 2007I have a sheet with fixed number of rows but variable number of columns. I have to sort this sheet on the basis of column A starting A2. i am using the following code
Range("A1", Range("A1").End(xlToRight).End(xlDown)).Select
Selection.Sort Key1:=Range("A2"), Order1:=xlAscending, Header:=xlYes
But it does not sort properly. To illustrate, i have 10 rows, some 4 columns wide and some 5 columns wide. Since the first row is 5 columns wide , all the rows with 5 columns populated get sorted but the rest get left out.
Chronological Sorting
Feb 18, 2007This is an example of what is being worked on:
(There are 500+ more lines like the ones below, in groups of approximately 17 lines per page of information.)
* C.B.A. Bank - 2nd reference to branch near Mike's store. (21/03/1956)
* Berwick exams results. (06/06/1877)
* Berwick exams (09/05/1877)
* Steps taken for erection of Berwick. (11/07/1874)
* Berwick tenders for work at home. (11/07/1877)
* W. was a storekeeper at Berwick. (25/07/1881)
* Berwick Brass. (27/06/1877)
* Commercial erected for son. (27/06/1878)
I need to do the folowing to it:
(not necessarily in the following order)
- Insert into Excel
- Remove brackets
- Sort chronologically
- Copy back into program I am using again, in same chronological order.
The desired outcome is to be able to throw into Excel all the lines and press a button, (possibly the Sort Ascending one) and have a chronological list of all entries.

I want to sort a list of employees and for each employee theres a column with their Lost Business, customer satisfaction, and two more columns. I want to sort all the columns at the same time so that the best employees overall will go to the top of the list and the worst ones will be at the bottom. Whenever I use the sorting feature it does each column independant of the others so everytime I sort a new column it just moves around the last one I sorted.

So in columns, say, G,H,I J,K if there is data in column A then It goes into column g, if not it asks if there is any data in column b and so on. Then for H it does the same but one on. I have attached an example to show what I would like to happen.

Jun 20, 2008I created a data base that had a hyperlink to a plan of the store so we can find parts easy. With a lot of help for people here on this web site, it works very well.
My only problem now is that I sorted my Database by the hyperlink column. It made it easy to do one hyperlink and pull the fill handle down for the rest of the same hyperlink reference.
When I went to resort the database so that the parts were in alphabetical order. The sort worked well except that the hyperlink for lets say cell F87 was not sorted. Example : - F87 hyper link presort had the reference to Rack 10 self B. Post sort it had the reference to Rack 16 shelf C. But when clicked on it still took you to Rack 10 self B.
