I have data
in A1 = ADGSTSJDUDKDKFHDHFGFGDHAPPPPSODIDFKLFK
in B1 = GDHAPPP
I need to show a number of characters (=LEN(B1)) in C1 if data in B1 matches to A1
so in this case I expect C1 will show 7
1. i am comparing text
2. i have >100 countries, and with vlookup i have to type every single one, and this is what i want to escape (mb i need to refer to an array, or string, or no idea)
3. mb a solution could be sth with index, or match, i just tried it, copying some similar formula from www, but it didn't match the countries, and return the value respective for that country.
E.g. I have China in col1 (1st file), #employees 10 in col2 (1st file), and China in Col 1 in 2nd file. So, a formula should match China & China from both files, and return 10 as number of employees.
I'm trying to match the data in a column from one excel file with another column of data from a separate excel file. If there is a positive match, I would like it to return a cell data on the same row in the following column on the first excel file. I understand that this can be done with vlookup but because the data in separate excel file contains commas and thus I can't get a true match.
To visualize what i'm trying to illustrate, i'll breakdown into steps.
I would like to match the data below in excel file 1 to excel file 2.
Excel file 1
83883
89342
83603
84445
434961
Excel file 2
83883
89342, 541879
83603
522354, 84445
83985, 434961
Lets imagine that there is another column of data next to the list of data in excel file 2. If there is a positive match between excel file 1 to excel file 2, i would like to return cell next to the data in excel file 2 on the same row.. to the cell next to the data in excel file 1.
This is difficult as I have a column with few thousands of such data.
I have data in 1 column that I want to match data in the second column. If it matches a value in the second column I would like it to return the value from a row in the third column.
View 9 Replies View RelatedI found a use for the “Looping Through Workbooks” code (recommended by Dave in my last thread - thanks Dave).
I have a number of small files in "C:Files" that I’d like to loop through and find a match with data from a Master (in another folder) workbook as follows.
1. Match columns ”C” of each of the files with column ”H” of the Master.
2. For each matching cells, insert data from column “I” of the Master (“ Date” field) to into col “D” for each row of the individual files (about 300 rows)
3. Save & Close the workbook and loop to the next one in that folder
All that's needed here is code to search, match & paste, to insert into Dave's "Looping Through Files" code.
I have two columns with team abbreviations, one simply says whether they are AL or NL the other is the result of a search with multiple occurrences of the team name. I need to match the long list with the short and put the column header AL or NL in the adjacent cell.

Trying to grasp the concept of using these 3 functions to search for and return values from a data sheet.
The attached spread sheet has performance data for a group of employees.
What I need to do is find a particular employee then return a value for one of the category's.
For instance, I need to find "10TE03 ANGIE HOLLIS" Parts Usage on color or cell C10 in the attached sample.
Sometimes new category's are added to column A adding to the number of rows so a simple offset is not reliable.
Once I get that working, I then need to use a named range to total and average different data points for groups of employees by teams.
Maybe Offset-Index-Match is not even the way to go here?
See attached file, "Rate Sample Index-Match Formula".
I need a formula to return the value at the cross section of two (2) lookup values that match. This formula will be input into column D under, "RATE" on the 1st tab, "TEST FILE".
In the 1st tab, "TEST FILE" there are a series of columns as follows;
A = Service
B = From
C = To
D = Rate
In the 2nd tab, "RATES" there is a series of rates with drivers From (green) & To (blue)
The formula needs to do the following;
1. Lookup the "From" value in column B on tab, "TEST FILE" and match to column B2:B59 on tab, "RATES" both highlighted in green
2. Then Lookup the "To" value in column C on tab, "TEST FILE" and match to row C1:BH1 on tab, "RATES" both highlighted in blue
3. Then return the value at the cross section of the match "From" (point 1 above) & "To" (point 2 above) in range C2:BH59
For Example;
The rate From SYD To CBR = 0.33. I have highlighted this in yellow on both tabs to show where the formula needs to lookup the data to return the answer.
Additionally, if we were to add service as an additional lookup match how would this work?

What im trying to do is match columns A & B from AUDIT Sheet to Columns A & B in MASTER sheet. If they match then pull columns C, D & E from MASTER into AUDIT.
I have two sheets of data , sheet A and Sheet B.
Sheet B contains a column called "Name" and for each name, and for each name there are corresponding numbers. In sheet A, I have a "list of interest" in column A. What i want to do look through the data in sheetB to find a match from the list of interest and return the corresponding letters, located in column A.
I have filled out the first two rows of results that should be returned as an example.
One idea i had was to put a vlookup formula in each column result 1 to result 6 so i can catch all 6 "Serves" columns from column B, but there may be duplicates in the serve columns and vlookup only reports the first match.
I have 2 workbooks in Excel 2010, each contain just 1 sheet. (see attached) I need to compare on sheet 1, cell D1 and column A:A (this column will be much longer), with the data in columns C:C & A:A on sheet 2, if a corresponding match is found, the data contained in column D on the same row on sheet 2 is written to the cell with the matching data in sheet 1.
My attempt is in cell D2 on sheet1.
I have a tab that has 2 columns of data and I want to be able to return a value in column A if my data matches column B. If column B has the text TRUETRUE, I want to bring back the corresponding data in Column A. How do I return all the data in Column A for all the TRUETRUEs in column B? I can only get the first instance of TRUETRUE.

I am looking for a method that:
return the column B value of sheet 1, if Column A value in sheet 2 can be is available in Column A in sheet 1.
How might I write a formula that does this;
Find a match to the contents of cell A1 in the range C1:C20 and return the value of the cell directly to its right (column D)
The short version:
(69.1*SQRT(((Shops!$X$2:$X$341-C3)^2)+0.06*((Shops!$Y$2:$Y$341-D3)^2))<=25))) evaluates out to series of 340 True and Falses. I need to be able to pull the nth True, and then somehow index that against AH2:341.
I'm working with a record of 53,000 entries with latitudes and longitudes and I need to cross compare them with 341 locations in the United States.
I've already done some of the heavy lifting, which supported narrow an initial list of 85,000 records to at least recognize which records where within any of the 341 points. (Less arrays makes my computer happy.)
This formula gives me the count of locations each entry is within one of the 341:
=SUM(IF(69.1*SQRT(((Shops!$X$2:$X$341-C3)^2)+0.06*((Shops!$Y$2:$Y$341-D3)^2))<=25,1,0)) {CSE} & copied down 53k times
The actual return range is AH2:AH341 for the location number.
Now, I need to be able to list each of the 341 they are close to. The max count is 17, so I'll only need to list out 17 columns.
Maybe something like =LOOKUP(1,1/(69.1*SQRT(((Shops!$X$2:$X$341-C3)^2)+0.06*((Shops!$Y$2:$Y$341-D3)^2))<=25))),$AH$2:$AH$341)
but this only returns the first match. How do I return the 2nd, 3rd, 4th, etc?
Because of the sensitive nature of my data, we can use a much simpler array which I'll adapt; I'm mostly trying to understand the logic or formula that should be used.

So this formula picks up the first Consulting Fees after the Central Division. The problem is it is going to pick it up under the West Division. So, how would I modify the formula so that if the row number is also less than Central Division Net Profit (A15), it is zero. (no offset or indirect)

I have 2 rows of data and want excel to find the number of times that a number appears in the first row and then return the value of a cell in the same column but in the second row of data. I need it to repeat this until all matches in row one, and their corresponding number in row 2 have been found and then add all the results from row 2 together to give a single numerical answer. I have tried the ' lookup' function but this only returns the first number that matches the criteria and does not continue to find the remaining matches.
View 7 Replies View RelatedI'd like to match value in column A and column B of spreadsheet1 with columns A and column B of spreadsheet2 to return column C from spreadsheet2.
Essentially what I need to do is pull value from a following function: if A = B and C = D then Jessica (corresponding value)
I am using Index and Match functions but am running into problems because A of spreadsheet1 has 2 different matches in spreadsheet2.
I am trying to compare a single cell's Value in 1 worksheet to try to find a match in another column (or a range of cells). If I find a match I want the result to be a 1 and if it is not found then a 0.
Is this the Lookup function?
I am trying to match data from 2 independent sets, formatted slightly differently so not sure which function would work best for me. From the attached file, I am trying to match the date and time stamp (in cell A1) with that from the other data (in this example in cell E1) and return the data (from cell F1) to cell C1. So basically any date and time stamp before 04/03/09 04:00 will return a value of 44 (this value should appear, therefore in cells C1 - C30)
View 2 Replies View RelatedI am very competent using the index match formula and have incorporated this into many spreadsheets to auto-fill for avoiding input errors. The objective I am attempting now is to retrieve from a list of 2800 entries the smallest return on an index match formula.
From the data below if my Index Match formula uses C1 to index and match my return is always a7 (-12.7) the first in the list, where my desire is a return of a19 (-14.11). To complex this problem I often have duplicate amounts that need to be listed when they fall into my parameters. I have figured that the Small function allows me to assign first smallest, second smallest, and so forth.
I prefer not to use vlookup for simplicity and error avoidance issues.
