Vlookup - Referencing Sheet Index
Dec 4, 2009
I am trying to find out whether it is possible to reference to a sheet index number, instead of sheet name, in a VLOOKUP formula.
For instance, normally I would write:
VLOOKUP(A1,'ExampleSheet'!A1:B10,2,False)
(I hope got the translation to English language Excel correct)
Let's say that the sheet index of Examplesheet is 2 (at least it is 2 the way VBA sees it).
Is there a way I could reference sheet number 2 in the VLOOKUP formula, instead of its name? My sheet names vary, but the formula should look in the same area, regardless of name.

I've attached a sheet with the problem.
I have one sheet which summarises the status of documents in another sheet. I'm using INDEX and MATCH to return the correct Document title and info. But I need to offset/countif/INDEX MATCH again or something to get to reference the latest revision status of the document.

I'm trying to hone a quoting tool to generate an amount based on a given range and minimum charges for specified subsects of the range. If you reference the attachment I'm trying to calculate a charge in cell K15 based on values in B9 and C10 referencing the table I8:R9. What I cant figure out is how to create a minimum charge of 50 for J8:P9 (points A-G) and a charge of 95 for Q8:R9 (points H-I).

I have a challenge with Vlookups!
I have one workbook called Ratecards, which contains various tabs which are named based on a client code. e.g. ABC02
I then have another workbook which has employees in column B and the client code in C3.
The current Vlookup is =VLOOKUP(B8,'[ratecards.xlsx]ABC02'!$A$5:$N$168,4,false) which works fine for one client.
I want to substitute the ABC02 in the vlookup for cell ref C3, as the contents of C3 is variable and I want it to tell the sheet which ratecard to refer to.

I'm working on a spreadsheet for a gaming community. This sheet is used by more than 3000+ players and growing. It has to be updated roughly twice a week for new inventory items, which can range from 1 to 3 new items weekly.
To make it easier on new and existing members, I want to create a way to make updates with the spreadsheet easier and to allow players an easier way of updating the spreadsheet rather than re-entering all the data over and over again twice a week.
So, I started to use VLOOK in some formulas to look at the data and pull the corresponding information. However, this same information is used throughout the sheet and referencing this information has brought about #VALUE errors that I cannot seem to figure out how to get around.
I've included a copy of the spreadsheet to download and review in hopes of finding a solution.
Here's what this speadsheet is doing:
MyInventory is where the players will enter all their items, with some being drop-down selections and manual entry.
The LookupedInventory worksheet is where the VLOOKUP (columns C,G,J,Q,etc.) formula is used to look up entries in the MyInventory worksheet and pull their values over to the LookupedInventory worksheet.
Now these values from the LookupedInventory will be carried over into two other worksheets, InventoryTableAttack and InventoryTableDefense. These two worksheets are where my #VALUE errors are appearing. If the cell referenced is empty, the #VALUE error appears. However, if the cell references a number, the rest of the formulas tied to to this cell reference work. However, since there are errors, the rest of the worksheet cannot function until I fix all the #VALUE errors.
So, what I'm seeking is to see where my issue is and what I need to do to fix it.
If I need to take a different approach to this, please let me know what that is and how to go about doing it.
I've even thought about a macros that copies and paste all the current data from an older spreadsheet to the new one, but I'm not that good at macros. If I can stay away from macros, that would be good, but if not, then I'll have to dig in my heels and start leaning.

I am trying to use the vlookup function but the range of reference has that little green triangle in the corner and if I f2 each cell that triangle goes away and the vlookup function works great. Do you know what is going on here? And also, a quick way to convert all the cells with the green triangle to be without the triangle in a whole range? I don't want to have to go to each cell individually and f2. I've attached an example worksheet for reference to what I am describing. vlookup format.xlsx

I am trying to get my formula to reference directly to the right of the look up value but it keeps returning the diagonal value that is located to the right and up one cell.

I have this table
.......A.....B.....C....D
1.....I......a.....d.....g
2.....II.....b.....e.....h
3.....III....c.....f......i
As you can see, the number I has a,d,and g, II has b,e,and h, and III has c, f, and i
I want to make formula that if I make the input g it would return I, f would return III, and c would return III, and so on
I want to make four formulas by using VLOOKUP, INDEX, MATCH, INDEX&MATCH separately.

So my issue this time is that I have a bunch of columns that correspond to a month. If the user wants to view data from that month column then they have to link to that cell specifically (the worksheet being used is different than the one in which the month columns are)
My goal was to create a single cell in which the user typed in a month abbreviation such as jan, feb, mar.. so on and so forth. From there they correspond to a vlookup table which tells you which month is in what column (because that part never changes) so jan is in column c and feb is in column d... continuing until december is in column n. So the vlookup corresponds to the table and that works fine, type jan into the cell and the vlookup returns c. So i think this will work.
My problem is that in the cell I am typing this in I want it to be a part of a whole cell reference such as c5 or d7 where the 5 or 7 is a constant (I have that part down) however the reference is to another sheet. So in sheet 2 I want to reference sheet 1 i.e.
Formula: [Code].....
<-- is the desired return.
Right now (in sheet 2) I have
Formula: [Select Code] .....
Which returns the desired d5 but as text and not referencing sheet one. I tried
Formula: [Code]....
But this makes the vlookup malfunction (i think it starts looking in sheet 1 for the month cell but it is not and can not be there.
SO how do i force a vlookup to turn into a cell reference, and how do i make that cell reference come from a different worksheet without causing the vlookup to malfunction.

I have tried the Vlookup formula, and also the index/match formules but I can't get my desired outcome. As you can see the setup is fairly simple. For turnover I want to lookup the values based on Period AND profit center This last bit is my problem, how to define a double criterium.
The idea is to choose the wanted latest estimate (cell B1) and that for turnover, discount etc the values are based on 2 criteria (periode and profit center)
I have also added the desired outcome to clarify my question.

I have a worksheet that has numerical data in A1:A22. In E1:E61 I have set values in numerical order and in F1:F61 I have a letter or letters that correspond to E1:61.
I am trying to write a formula in B1 that will look at the value in A1 and then match it up in E1:E61 and then return the corresponding letter in F1:F61.
e.g: in A1 i have an INDEX and MATCH formula

I tried with the VLookup, and HLookup and neither one worked for me. I have a reference table with all the data, and then input sheet where I want to bring this data by using one of the excel function. ie. When I enter office name on the top of the input page, I would like the Tax ID # in cell C3 to fill in using the excel function from the data on the reference tab. Same with cell C14 & C15. see attached for an example.

I think I need to combine functions to allow me to automate data entry from a table from another worksheet. If the Name entered in column A on Exp Breakdown matches a name in column A of Salary Breakdown I cannot seem to write a function to scan the table in Salary breakdown and lookup the percentage that person is paid from a specific program number. I have attached a sample worksheet to hopefully make it easier to understand.

I have data on two separate tabs. Data in columns A of both tabs potentially match. I am trying to identify and pull the value in column C of the second tab where the values in columns A match and the first instance where the value in column B on the second tab is less than the value in column B of the first tab. The values in both columns B are dates.
column A first tab = column A second tab
column B first tab < column B second tab (first instance of less than)
pull value from column C on second tab to appropriate row of column C on first tab.

I have two worksheets that I am hoping to use to generate one report in excel. Sheet1 contains the following information for my entire work center:
Benefitor Account Dollar Value Document #
Sheet2 contains a list of Benefitors that are relevant to only me.
I want to pull the information from Sheet1 where the benefitors on Sheet1 match the benefitors listed on Sheet2 into Sheet3.

I have a tab that has Employee Name in one column and the benefit they chose in another column. The employee name is repeated a number of times since they have chosen more than one benefit.
I am trying to create a new tab where the employee name in is the first column (only once) and each benefit is listed in separate columns along the top. I want to put an "x" in the column for the benefit the employee has chosen.
Is there a way to say "look for this employee, see if this benefit is what they chose, and if it is, put an "x", if not, leave blank"?

I have 8 sheets, named cpt1 to cpt8 in vba.
Now i need to loop through these 8 sheets, storing the same range of each sheet into a matrix. I have the following
dim test () as variant
For i = 1 to 8
(1) test = sheets(i).Range("b2:u21")
(2) test = cpt1.Range("b2:u21")
next i
Now (1) doesn't work, but (2) does. However i do not know how to reference the cpt1 sheet name using the for loop (ie "cpt" & i) Can anyone help me with getting this to work?

Attached example file has data with which I need to do the following;
On the tab "part list" I put in the part number in column F. Column C should then be populated automatically by looking up column F in the tab "Lookup" and showing the value found in column B of that tab.
The difficulty with this is, is that when the part number in column F starts with "DN", the lookup value should end with "FD/A" and when the part number in column F starts with "Z", the lookup value should end with "TY/A".
This last part I can't get it to work. I've tried vlookup with a index/match function inside, but it won't work somehow...

I don't want VB code but a worksheet formula.
I have a table full of names and cars sold. The table tracks the person's progress. It is like a diary. It's a simplied version of the DB I am currently working with.
Is it possible to do the following things? I have basically 2 types of questions.
1)When was the last red car sold?
2)When was a car sold irrespective of color?
The answer to each question will be put in separate columns.
I have only included January but I will do this for the entire year of 2010 and also I will do this for all of the names in my database. I think there are about 300.
When was the last time ANDY sold a RED car?
The answer should be 1/12/2010
The answer will be put in ROW A COLUMN I
When was the last time ANDY sold a car irrespective of color?
The answer should be 1/12/2010
The answer will be put in ROW A COLUMN J
When was the last time BILL sold a RED car?
The answer should be 1/10/2010.
The answer will be put in ROW B COLUMN I
When was the last time BILL sold a car irrespective of color
The answer should be 1/11/2010
The answer will be put in ROW B COLUMN J

I have the following arrangement
PVCu_Woodgrain_DoorF190210300#REF!
PVCu _woodgrain_Door is a drop down list that selects from a number of named ranges.
The Cell that shows (F1) and is called DOORSTYLE with 6 choices F1, F2 ... F6 (I cannot change these to numeric only values)
300 is the 2 previous cells added together. It is called DRSZ1 and will match a numeric value in the named array.
My formula cell with the issue has this formula;
=INDEX(INDIRECT(ARRAYDR1),MATCH(DOORSTYLE,INDEX(INDIRECT(ARRAYDR1),0,1)),MATCH(DRSZ1,INDEX(INDIRECT(ARRAYDR1),1,0)))
I know MATCH(DOORSTYLE,INDEX etc. should be a VLOOKUP to find F1 in the named array, but I just cannot get it right.

I have a spreadsheet with two sheets in it.
Sheet 1 = sheet with formulas/functions for data analysis
Sheet 2 = sheet with table
I am trying to reference a column in the table on sheet 2 from sheet 1. Specifically, I am trying to set up Data Validation that will create a list of unique values from a column in the table. I tried:
[Code] ......
There is a space in the header name of the column. but I was unable to get the validation to work even with columns that have just a single word name.
I also tried:
[Code] .....
and that did not work either.

I need assistance referencing cells in other sheets. I have a summary tab which I would have each refenced sheet listed (named for the activity being billed). In a separate cell in the summary tab, I want to bring back the value of the total amount billed for that activity. The total value is in the same cell of each sheet, as all invoice tabs needing to be referenced are identical in layout.
There is one hitch to this, the sheets referenced have not yet been created (that would be too too easy), and the activity list in the summary sheet has place holder names that will change when the activity being billed is defined (hence prompting the biller to create the sheet to be referenced).
