I am trying to use vlookup function with web query data and some of the data has embeded characters I can not see and vlookup does not work (can not match even though numbers appear to be the same). I have attached a test file with the data and formula and a detailed explanation.
Found this ....
I am not able to open any excel file which comes as attachment with mail.It shows the message "file is corrupt ".
However , once it is open from other computer, I can view the same in LAN system.
Report 1 is downloaded from SAP into Excel and Report 2 is downloaded from AS400 into Excel.
Report1 contain 3 columns as follows:
Column A - Invoice #
Column B - Invoice date
Column C - Invoice Amt
Report2 contain 5 columns as follows:
Column A - Invoice #
Column B - Ship Date
Column C - Check #
Column D - Amt Paid
Column E - Payment date
I tried to use the Vlookup function in Report 1 Column D to lookup the matching Invoice # in report 2 and bring in the corresponding Amt paid. It did not work and I assume that this is because of the formats in the downloaded files. I did try to change formats for the columns involved but this did not work. This function works fine if both files were setup in Excel, however in these downloaded files even though saved as excel workbooks, something prevents this function from working. I do know for a fact that the same invoice number does show up in both these files but the vlookup does not pull up the required Amt paid from Report 2.
I often download data from various web sites - this is data that is displayed on a web page in tabular format, and often consists of hundreds of lines. I typcally Select All, then Copy, then go to a blank spreadsheet and Paste. After a bit of reformatting, I'm usually in good shape. The problem is, that sometimes the contents of a cell might have been "5-2" (without the quotes), and it comes through on Excel as "May 2". Without proofing each cell, I can't just make the assumption that the original was "5-2" - it might have been "5-2-10" (but not a date).
The normal Paste Special options are not available when I do this, so I can't paste them in as values. I have tried formatting the worksheet at text prior to doing the copy but that does not work.
when i download the data to excel it is downloaded in some format i cannot use.
View 6 Replies View RelatedI have a Macro that Formats specific data downloaded to an excel spreadsheet everyday and I have also got a macro that will 'Save As'.
I am trying to merge the 2 within Visual Basic but am unable to word it correctly and get it to run without errors...
Here is the end of the first Macro:

.AddIndent = False
.IndentLevel = 0
.ShrinkToFit = False..........
I have a problem with text to columns with data downloaded from our website. The address field is coming through with the whole address in a single cell with multiple rows. I have tried the following but all I get is the first row in the first colimn and the rest of the data:
Text to Columns, Delimited, Other and ALT-0010
Text to Columns, Delimited, Other and ALT-010
Text to Columns, Delimited, Other and ctrl-j
I have even created a macro to replace the hard returns with commas and then use comma as a delimiter but that still does the same.
I have attached a file with two of the records (1 tab for the original data and one with the commas)
Finally, I have tried this in both 2003 & 2010 and get the same issue in both.

I'm trying to download an Excel file from the internet and then extract data out of it. The problem is that I don't get any errors, yet the file downloaded is only 1kb in size. The extraction bit works, but the file is empty. The actual file is size 350KB.

The government was just kind enough to send me some data I asked for in the form of a spreadsheet. Came in a Yahoo email. Document was blahblah.xls
I downloaded it.
Clicked and Excel opened it without any error messages.
What I see is one white bar in the spreadsheet section. It has three sections where you would have three columns.
On the left it says F279, which I take to be the cell address.
Then to the right of that there's a sort of elongated blue button with 'fx' written on it and a dot at the left end that I can use to grasp it and slide it left and right.
To the right of that it says 6169, which is the content of some cell.
Hover over a couple of these things and it says 'name box' and 'formula bar' at different times (sometimes I can't get it to do it.)
There's data there. I can't do it now but somehow the first time I opened it I was able to scroll one or the other column (i.e. one at a time only) up and down and see there was content there.
Is this thing fixable or should I get back to them and ask for a rerun? I would delete this is I could but it doesn't seem to offer that choice.
Did a 'print preview' and after that it came up in normal view. Well, nearly, it was down at the bottom of the screen but I was able to drag it up and now I've got it.

I'm trying to do a Vlookup on a file that gets automatically downloaded to the computer from a website. The data is in lots of different data sets, like so:
Loans to countries
Mar
Apr
May
Jun
Loans to banks
Mar
Apr
May
Jun
Every month a new row of data gets added to each table, meaning the start and end cells of the array also shift each time.
See attached file. A colleague is downloading rows of data from a website which contains a number field Excel is currently treating as Text after being pasted in. My spreadsheet includes just a sample of the many rows of data however as you can see the VALUE function refuses to convert these text values to numbers. How these might be converted and why the VALUE function refuses to work in this case?
