I want to vlookup a cell's value from multiple files, how to go about vlookup a directory (about 2000 files)?
* The cell's entry name is the same as the file's name saved in the directory.
* I do not know marco
I have used the 'VLOOKUP' function many times with success (eventually), but this time I might not be able to do what I want.
So, my question is this: using VLOOKUP, can I lookup 2 or more different table arrays in the 1 formula?
What I have is a member database of 140,000 , they all have a unique member ID number (eg. APL098829) and the program that contains these members has them broken down into 300+ .csv files (eg. APL_001.csv, APL_002, APL_003, etc)
When they come to an event their card is scanned. The members in my area are usually around the same numbers (ie. APL_097, APL_098). So this is why I would like to search these 2 database for their member ID and Return their name.
Not sure if this makes sense, after all it's 0150am here and I think I have nodded off a couple of times writing this.
I've 2 excel files open. The first with my data, and a second with a huge range. I need to work with a macro that used vlookup to get a value from the second file in the first.
My code:
VB:
Sub mysub()
Dim i As Integer
Dim y As Integer
Dim match As String
Dim no_match As Integer
Dim rng As Range
'Set rng = Workbooks("wb2").Worksheets("Sheet1").Range("$A$1:$B$2704")

I have a spreadsheet (Need Data.xls) that needs to be filled out with a couple columns of data.
This data lays within 338 spreadsheets which have many items and may only have 2, or 3, or 50 that belong on my Need Data.xls spreadsheet.
I have a tab in Need Data.xls named "DIR" which has a list of 336 excel files that need to vlookup'd into.(not a separate file) They're all setup with this format:
How to determine the correct formula for this requirement?
Assuming I have 2 individual excel files and an index excel file (in reality, there are more than hundreds of file). For index excel, once the user enter part number (eg. 1 or 2), the excel will look for the part number excel file and determine vlookup function.
The only problem I have here is I can not make the index file automatically add the part number shown on most left column into the required formula (replace the part number file section).
I tried use the indirect function but this require each file to be opened, which is not possible for actual use. I am looking for a function that can work in closed worksheet.

I have created a Macro that lists and creates links of all the Excel Documents in a Directory (500+). I would like to extract from each of those files data from a single cell on a certain sheet. (The sheet and cell are the same in each of these files). The code I have written opens each of these files, copies the data and pastes the value in the column next to each sheet. This is a very time consuming task because of the shear volume. I feel that there is a better way to do this, I'm just not seeing it. If you could come up with a way to create this as a reference that would be great too instead of having to rebuild the entire list if the data changes. Here is the code I have written.
Sub Test2()
' Select cell A1, *first line of data*.
Range("A1").Select
' Set Do loop to stop when an empty cell is reached.
Do Until IsEmpty(ActiveCell)
Selection.Hyperlinks(1).Follow NewWindow:=False, AddHistory:=True
Sheets("Contact Information").Activate
ActiveSheet.Range("B8").Select
Selection.Copy
ActiveWindow.Close
ActiveCell.Offset(0, 1).Select
PasteSpecial zlPasteValues
ActiveCell.Offset(1, -1).Select
Loop
End Sub
how I can loop through folders to select files starting with a certain word and copy all of them to a different folder and rename them. The folder structure is given below
Company 1(parent folder)
North South East(sub folder) West(sub folder)
Jan Feb Mar.... Dec Jan Feb Mar.... Dec Jan Feb Mar.... Dec Jan Feb Mar.... Dec
In the above structure, the files are present inside each folders Jan, feb...Dec under the regions North, South East n west. note that I have to select files starting with "Sales" and copy them into a new folder(say results) and rename copied files as Sales1.xls, Sales2.xls etc. (Files are not present in the folder company1, north, south, east and east.)
I have a excel file that I enter information into. I have code that saves the files to a certain folder with the name, date, and time stamp for the file name. At the end of the day I might have 3 to 15 excel files I have created that day and I would like to take information from certain cells (examle: L3, B6, B7, B8, G8, and so on) and create a txt file with all of the information in it.
Example:
12/20/2007
Your Name
123 Somewhere St.
Here, OH 45111
Home Visit
12/20/2007
Someone Else
345 Anywhere St.
There, OH 45211

I have situation which needs expert advice. I have about 22 Excel files of different branches with similar data. I have to link some calculated cells from each of these files into one file to show the consolidated data. There are about 18 calculated cells in each file, so linking each one is practically impossible.

I would like to know how to open multiple excel files from a folder based on the information based in cells down a certain column until the last cell.
I thought it might be something like this but it isn't: ....
I have about 100 Excel files in one folder that need to be saved as text files. They can keep the same name, but simply need to be converted to text files. I'd like to use VBA for this and I can't find examples that do exactly that...or ones that my limited knowledge can handle.
Excel files exist in C:Source and ALL of them should be saved as text files in C:Destination. Maybe there is an easier way, but I thought for sure there was a routine I could use.
I have two columns one of which has filenames and the other having values. I need to creating a macro that takes each value from a cell outputs it into a text file and then saves it with the filename of the cell next to the value. I'll need it to go down the columns and create separate text files for each.

View 11 Replies View RelatedI tried searching for a solution to my formula problem in this forum regarding vlookup and saw similar formula e.i returning multiple values but it doesn't cater with what I need.
Vlook is returning only the first value but what I need is to return all the multiple return values in 1 cell. I've attached a sample worksheet for reference.
OK for example if i hae this list of data:
Invoice number Order number
111 560
112 561
112 562
113 563
What i need to do is a vlookup from the above table to return the following:
Invoice Number Order number
111 560
112 561, 562
113 563
Traditionally the vookup will return the first value it can match. I can return multiple values on different lines using an array formula but this is not useful.
In the example below I have table array A1:B8. Lookup criteria in cell A11 and want to return MULTIPLE values from column B in cell B11.
I would prefer to not use VBA if possible

I am trying to get one cell to look at different sheets. if the first sheet doesn't have a value, than look in the next sheet. current formula is
=IF(ISNA(VLOOKUP(Q2,'sheet2'!$D$2:$K$1807,7,FALSE)),"",VLOOKUP(Q2,sheet2'!$D$2:$K$1807,7,FALSE))
I am having cell return blank if no value is found. it is currently looking only at one sheet.
I don't want it to combine the values like this formula does.
=(VLOOKUP(Q2,'sheet3'!$D$2:$K$200,7,FALSE)&","&VLOOKUP(Q24,'sheet2'!$D$2:$K$1807,7,FALSE)) #.###,##.##
sheet 1 is where the cell I am writing the formula is in, and I want to look in sheet 2, 3, and possible 4 for a value, I want to only have the greatest value show between the sheets. is this possible.
I am using excel2007.

View 9 Replies View RelatedWhat I need is a script or formula with returns multiple results and puts them into one cell.
The Excel is used as a Project Managment Work Sheet for Resources, working on different Projects and their dedicated hours
The raw data table looks like this:
Column A: Project Name (=AllProjectsLists)
Column E: Resource Name (=MasterDataResources)
Column P: values from 0 to 8 (hours)
First I need to check per row the Resource Name. If the Resource Name is a match, than I need to check if in column P the value is bigger than 0. The result goes into a different sheet per row, one result per Resource, but the multiple results should be shown in one cell.
So the result should be something like:
Resource name "Thomas" .... Projects working on: "Project 1, Project 5, Project 13, ..." (in one cell)
Resource name "Mary" .... Projects working on: "Project 3, Project 9, Project 13, ..." (in one cell)
I tried with this one, but it only returns one vale per cell:
=SMALL(IF(E$9=MasterDataResources; ROW(MasterDataResources)-ROW($A$2)+1), ROW(1:1))
=INDEX(AllProjectsLists; SMALL(IF(E$9=MasterDataResources; ROW(MasterDataResources)-ROW($A$2)+1); ROW(1:1)))
I built an Excel Macro to pull information from my schedule and compile it within another Worksheet. The Macro below searches for an instance of "Unavailable" and then populates my Data Worksheet with the WeekDays (ie: M-W-F or ALL Week), the Details (ie: Vacation or Training) and the Name of the employee. I struggled with a way to populate my employee name as "unavailable" isn't always offset by the same amount of characters to employee name (as it is with WeekDays and Details). Instead, I collected the row in which "Unavailable" was found.
I used the Vlookup function to populate the number of Absences and it worked swell.
=VLOOKUP(C2,O:P,2,FALSE)
C2 is populated with Weekdays (ie: ALL week or M-W-F)
O contains a list of possible day combinations
P contains the number of days
I hoped to use a similar function to populate my employee names. This didn't work well a 'tall.

I am trying to vlookup multiple value and return multiple values in one cell
I am trying to write a Macro that will do the following.
1. Using a new workbook
2. Open a file in a in a directory. Then
3. Run a vlookup using the opened file as the filename in the vlookup
4. Paste the results of the vlookup into the original file next to the file name.
5. Close the file and open the next one in the folder.
The folder contains about 2k files that it needs to loop through. I found a macro on this site created by Ravishankar and attempted to add to it. Not going so well.
I am making a report with product usages for a given week. There is a file for each week.
At the moment I am using vlookup function and manualy change path to source file every week.
=VLOOKUP($A$1,'A:FilingDataMatrix 2012Production Matrix[Production Matrix 2012-Week15.xlsm]Mon - Ingredients'!$E:$F,2,FALSE)
Now I would like to avoid the part with manual changing. Instead I would like to have an ability to take the file path from separate cell.
I'm trying to create a macro that will find the parent folder of the active workbook, zip all files within that workbook, then email that zipped file to a distribution list that is located in a separate file within the same drive. ideally, afterwards it would also delete the zip file that had just been created. The vlookup would reference a stationary cell within each of the files i use (same tab name and cell location) 'Summary'!B2
This is the vlookup i was trying to use:
=VLookup(B2, "shared drive location[Distribution Lists.xlsx]Distribution Lists'!$B:$E", 3, False)
I'm trying to compare two very large files to find some that are in one AND also in the other. I'm using =VLOOKUP(C2,Parts2!C:D,1,FALSE) and my results are #N/A for all of them. I have formatted both columns as 'General' because there can be letters and numbers in the serial number, I have also tried formatting as text to no avail. I have confirmed no preceding or trailing spaces or other special characters.
I am however, able to locate values in both documents using Ctrl F. I'm totally puzzled because I've always been able to figure out what's causing my Vlookup issues when I have them but this time I'm not able to.
I have six files that are formatted the same(fld1-1.xlsx, fld1-2.xlsx...). Each file contains an I.D. number (random 25 digit number) in column A and a note (1-9) in column B. The only thing that changes between files is the note column. I want to pull from these six files into a master file. When all six files are combined the note column in the master file is complete, there are no duplicates. Because a blank vlookup returns a zero, could I use an IF formula. Something like IF VLOOKUP FROM data01(ISNUMBER(0), then vlookup in file data02. IF VLOOKUP FROM data02(ISNUMBER(0), then vlookup in file data03.

and that leads to my second question...each of these files contain vlookups to 2012 data...which is contained in the a file with 2012 in the file name. I need to replace source data file (i.e. 2012 Index) with the new file containing the 2013 data (i.e 2013 Index). Is there a way to replace that source data across 85 or so files using some time of mass find and repalce? All the cell references remain the same
