Offset Formula Will Not Return Text?
Dec 14, 2013The following formula works very well for me but it will only return a number and not text.
=SUMIF(B4,K4,OFFSET(B4,0,Q4,))

Using ADDRESS And OFFSET To Return A Text Value From Along Row?
Aug 5, 2014I have a formula that basically work, except is really complicated and slows the whole sheet down and then, for some reason, returns a circular referencing error or something. There must be a better way!
So the back story is that I have a spreadsheet that I'm using to track ~1200 employees, including salary, job title and, where I'm having trouble, reporting line.
Column [R] is the Line Manager (direct manager) and Column [S] is Department Head. Columns [T] - [Y] is "Manager", "Manager +1" (manager's manager), "Manager +2" (manager's manager's Manager), etc up to Manager +5.
'Line Manager' is input manually. 'Manager' = 'Line Manager'. Manager+1 to +5 just vlooks up off the same sheet. This part works fine and will update the whole reporting line if you change the manager.
Department head is where I'm having a problem! Essentially what I'm looking for is for the formula to look at the 5 cells to the right (the manager +# columns) and look for 'Mr Boss' and return one cell to the left since department heads report the the boss. There is one exception, its that some immediate reports of Lucy Lawful also are counted as Department Heads. For this purpose I vlooked up this list of exceptions on another sheet. My formula is this (entered as an array):
=IF(ISTEXT(T5),IF(OR(OFFSET(INDIRECT(ADDRESS(MAX((T5:Y5="Mr Boss")*ROW(T5:Y5)),MAX((T5:Y5="Mr Boss")*COLUMN(T5:Y5)),4)),0,-2,1)=Vlookups!H:H),OFFSET(INDIRECT(ADDRESS(MAX((T5:Y5="Mr Boss")*ROW(T5:Y5)),MAX((T5:Y5="Mr Boss")*COLUMN(T5:Y5)),4)),0,-2,1),OFFSET(INDIRECT(ADDRESS(MAX((T5:Y5="Mr Boss")*ROW(T5:Y5)),MAX((T5:Y5="Mr Boss")*COLUMN(T5:Y5)),4)),0,-1,1)),"")
Below is an example file. In my real file the formula works for everyone, not sure why its not working for half the employee now, but probably cos it's a useless formula.

Using OFFSET Function To Return The Value From Another Cell With Row And Column Offset
May 31, 2014I am having some difficulties using a combination of IF and the OFFSET function to display a range of cell values from another column based on a simple condition. The values I need to display at the destination cells should be offset by 8 columns to the right and "X" rows down from the reference column. The value "X" is to be determined via the IF function to check for the row index number.
For example, if Index value "X" = 8, then display the value of B2 in cell I9. IF X = "9", display B2 in cell I10 etc.
I have attached a sample worksheet that provides some examples.

VBA - Find Cell Containing Text And Use An Offset Cell Value In Formula
Feb 13, 2014I'm trying to do a column of individual discount calculations using a discount percentage found in a cell two to the right of a cell containing the text "Total SP:" that is always upwards and to the left of the cell where the formula goes (but could be two rows or could be 20). There are multiple "Total SP:" cells in the sheet - I always want the first one upwards. I have created the following but I get #NAME? where I hope to see the discounted value.
VB:
Dim Discount1 As Double
Discount = Cells.Find(What:="Total SP:", After:=ActiveCell, LookAt:=xlWhole, SearchOrder:=xlByRows, SearchDirection:=xlPrevious, MatchCase:=True).Offset(0, 2)
Range("R9:R" & LastRow).Formula = "=IF(J9>0,$E9*(1-Discount1),0)"
I've just thought, the Cells.Find needs to be redone for each cell where the formula is inserted to ensure it always catches the correct discount and this isn't going to do that - it's going to find it once and always use that single value.
I think this needs a Loop or something and to move the ActiveCell down one after the formula to get it to redo the Cells.Find.
Array Formula To Return Text
Mar 18, 2009I have an Array formula that returns a value from several rows below:
=MAX(IF($P$8:$AQ$8="Today",$P13:$AQ13))
Row 8 contains only text and only one occurrence of the word "Today".
Row 13 has only numbers. The corresponding value directly below the column containing the word "Today" is returned successfully.
I now need a similar formula to return a text entry located in the same column but on the previous row (row 12) directly above the value just returned and this row contains only text entries.
Using the above formula and referencing $P12:$AQ12 returns 0 as expected.

Lookup & Return Offset Value
Oct 30, 2006I have a large array of cells that go from A1 to A2500. In VB, I need to take a given date that resides in a cell, say 1/6/2006 in C2, and look for a match of it within this large array. When the match is found, I need it to look in the column to the right (IE, from A5 to B5) and assign the value there to a Cell (C1).
Could someone provide an example of the code I was use in VB for this? I'm having a lot of trouble with it.

Lookup Across Columns, Return First & Last Value And Offset
Mar 29, 2008I have a data range set up in a step chart formation. This means there is a "Name" to the left and a time line of "values" to the right in quarterly increments (3 months at a time). Row 1 has the first month of each quarter and should be used to find the start date. Row 2 has the last month of each quarter and should be used to find the end date.
I need to find the first value from left to right and return the date directly above it in row 1.
Then....
I need to find the last value in the step chart and return the date directly above it in row 2
Example
Start Date..A...B...C....D...E...F
End Date....U...V...W...X...Y...Z
Value-1...........5...2....7........
Value-1
Start Date: B
End Date: X
Duration: = B - X
The reason i need this information is to create a Gantt Chart.
Formula To Pick Out Text In Middle Of String And Return
Jan 20, 2014I am looking for a formula to remove the text 2.2 from the string Rav4 2.2 D-4d X or 1.33 out of Yaris 1.33 Vvt etc, I have tried using the formula
=IF(P2="","",VLOOKUP("*"&P2&"*",AM$1:AN$25,2,1))
But it just keeps returning #N/A. I have all the variables outlined in cells AM$1:AN$25 hence the reference. I currently have the formula
=IF(P2="","",VLOOKUP(P2&"*",AK$1:AL$25,2,1))
Which is working perfectly @ finding and returning the start of the string but just cannot get the one to find the middle characters.

Return Offset Data/values With Lookup
Aug 1, 2007I have all my data on sheet 2 which contains tables that relate to information on regions, manufacturers, etc so it can be a large amount of tables which will change from month to month depending on a monthly list.
For example, if “Region 1” is in cell B134 – the resulting data I need to pull out will be contained in C138:G232 ...or ”Region 2” which is in B235 – table info is in C239:G333, etc, etc.
On sheet 1, I have a cell (L7) that is populated by another formula. This cell is effectively my lookup to pull out information from sheet2 to populate cells in (sheet1) AE119:AH212 - same sheet as the reference (L7).
I need to look up the reference/resulting value that is in L7 on sheet1, find and match against the values in column B on sheet 2 and then pull in the corresponding table information.
If the value in L7 was not changing at all I could do.. in cell AE119… =OFFSET(sheet2!B134,4,1,1,1) etc etc
... but I am at a loss as to the value in L7 changing and incorporating a lookup… or maybe I am looking at it wrong..?
I have looked up match, offset, index and lookups on the forum and have managed to confuse myself even more. I have even tried taking some of the example formulas and amending with my references but to no avail.
Find Value & Return Contents Of Offset Cell
Sep 3, 2006On Sheet2 I have a table where I want M2 to do the following:
1.) Look at cell A2 where the name "John" is and B2 where the name "smith" is.
2.) Look at sheet1 and look in B2 and C2 for "John" and "smith"
3.) Once it matches the name, place the contents of sheet1, cell I2 into sheet2, cell M2.
So in short, match the name on sheet2 to the name on sheet1 and return the number in I2 to M2 on sheet2.
Maybe combining the persons name in to one column would make it easier?
Find Value & Return Offset Cell Content
Nov 13, 2006I would like to be able to find all cells in row 2 that are "greater than 0". Then I would like to return the coresponding job number in row 4. I need to create a list of each job with the number of hous spent on that job next to it. I may have 30 different jobs but only 5 jobs that have hours for the specific week.
How I attemted to solve this is to create a table that listed all the hours from the largest number in row 2 to the smallest. Then I found the job number corresponding to that number of hours. The problem with this meathod is that if two jobs have the same amount of hours then the first job number is returned for both values that are the same. See attached example.

Lookup & Return Offset Data By Cell Value
Jan 30, 2008The main worksheet in my workbook contains lists of suppliers with unique Vendor Numbers, of which there are approximately 4,500 rows.

The information is a classification system that comprises of 4 columns holding a mixture of numbers and text.
Worksheet 1 has the Vendor Number in Column A and the Classification destination starting in Columns Q, R, S & T.

Return Offset Details For Duplicate Names
Feb 21, 2008I have a list of about 1000 names with 2 columns next to it. The first contains a list of different groups that the names belong to (there are 19 possible groups). The second contains a list of figures ranging between £10,000 and £500,000. I want a formula that will look for a name in the list and, when it finds the name, return the corresponding group and corresponding amount. My problem is that some names are in more than one group and therefore appear in column 1 more than once. I have tried to use the LOOKUP formula [eg looking for the GROUP =LOOKUP(Sheet1!B33, Sheet2!A:A, Sheet2!B:B)] but when a name appears more than once I cant get all the results - for example:
Mr Phil LittleGreen Group35,000
Mr Ed GrantRed Group20,000
Mr Robert SmithOrange Group10,000
Mr Robert SmithRed Group50,000
Mr Robert SmithGreen Group75,000
Mr James MorrisonGreen Group100,000
On my summary page (Sheet1) I would like to type in Mr Robert Smith (into cell Sheet1!B33) and in the rows below (obviously in 9 different cells) have the results appear but I can only ever get Mr Robert SmithGreen Group75,000 as a result. This is my first post so I hope I have obeyed all the rules and this is clear
(FORMULA) Return Largest Time With Nested Countif And Text
Dec 4, 2013I'm logging failed password attempts and need to find the latest time logged for a single user (when user has failed 5 times).
So the 5th attempt, I need that time
So the usual - Application.UserName in the next free cell in a range and time stamp in the next cell.
What I've tried is:
Say log range is A1:B500 and
A=Username, B=Time stamp
In column C I've nested the two together
(this has more code but not required to get this working)
In C1
Code:
=A1&" "&"live"&" "&B1
So this will bring back "Username live 23:12:12". Now, say there is 5 of these (all with different times)
How do I find the latest time for that user?
Code:
IF(COUNTIF("USERNAME LIVE"&"*")=5,[find the latest time in that list",""
Just to wind you up some more, other users name will be logged and muddled up so it's literally -
"Excel - if a user has failed 5 times then give me the time of the 5th attempt"
I've tried a mixture of COUNTIF, MAX, LARGE, TIMEVALUE(...)
Search Value Return Offset To Userform Labels Or Textbox?

Dim lr As Long, i As Long
Dim x As Variant, y As String
Dim Found As Range
x = TextBox1.Value
y = UserForm2.TextBox2

At the moment it is putting in the first test for every month I select and not changing to blank.
Find Yesterdays Date In Range And Return Row Number To Be Used In Offset
Jul 13, 2014I'm writing a macro that will import data from one workbook to another, based on yesterdays date. I have the import functionality working, and I've been playing all afternoon, but I can't find a way to find yesterdays date in a range and use that row number as the row offset value in this line:
Rather than having a set row offset value (in this case, 14) I would like to use the find function to lookup yesterdays date in range "B50:B80" in the worksheet I've designated as "sh1" and return the row number of the cell that has yesterdays date and use this value as the row offset value, replacing the hard coded 14 that is in there currently. The date values in the range are formatted as per Date Format.jpg.
Offset / Index / Match - Using 3 Functions To Search For And Return Values From Data Sheet
Jan 19, 2014Trying 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?
