Vlookup (matching Phrases For Values)

Jul 5, 2007

I am doing a project where I have two lists, one list is much larger than the other but has more info. I need some of that info for my other list, so I have used vlookup, but it hasn't helped.

The formula that I am using is
=VLOOKUP(B2,[Report.htm]report1183662451726!$A:$B,2,FALSE)

now the value I am searching for is "ANOS" which I know is in the search column, but the answer when I search is #NA. When I take out false the right value will fill in fro "ANOS", but if two words are similar such as "ALLN" and "ALEX" then it will give the same values for both which isn't right.

Add Two Matching Values Using Vlookup

Sep 17, 2009

How can i add a value suppose 10 which is in cell A2, now i use vlookup to search
lookup_value=A2(i.e.10),
Table_array=column c,
Column_index_number=1 and
range_lookup=0

so when vlookup finds the matching value the sum should be 10+10=20
also it should match -10, so that sum will be 0.

Vlookup Of Partial Matching Values

May 6, 2007

I have a worksheet with 2 tabs. Tab 1 has data in two columns, column A contains a part number (6 characters long) and column B contains a value for each part number.

Tab 2 is a sheet with multiple colums of data. I need tab 2 to look at the data in tab 1 and display the value of each part number in a specific column that has corresponding part numbers but are 15 characters in length. The part numbers in tab 1 are the last 6 characters of the part numbers in tab 2.

I have been trying to use vlookup in tab 2 but it won't work because the column of part numbers in tab 2 is a full part number and the part numbers in tab 1 are only a partial part number (last 6 characters of part number in tab 2).

Tab 1 is a worksheet that is created from a Access query of a sql database. I cannot control the abbreviated part number that the query generates.

Tab 2 part numbers (the full 15 character number) also is generated from another access query which I also can't control.

Is there any way I can have tab 2 sheet look at the data in tab 1 and display the values for the part numbers in tab 2.

Highlight Duplicate Phrases In A Column?

Mar 13, 2014

I am unsure if I would even need VBA to do this. I am trying to find a way to highlight all cells in column AO that have duplicate phrases and transfer just the phrase over to column CF. Ex: A cell containing "She didn't listen" and a cell containing "They didn't listen" would highlight and "didn't listen" would move over to Column CF. Would it be possible to do this without specifying the exact phrase?

Find / Count Most Common Phrases In List

Jul 25, 2012

I've found a vb script via Google that displays the most common words in a list followed by a number.

Code:
Sub HTH() Dim vArray As Variant Dim lLoop As Long
Dim rCell As Range With CreateObject("Scripting.Dictionary")
For Each rCell In Range("A1", Cells(Rows.Count, "A").End(xlUp))

[Code] .......

At the moment this results in 1 word followed by a count.

How do I alter this so it shows 2 or 3 words, ultimately showing the most common phrases?

Function: Selected String Contained Certain Phrases

May 13, 2008

I wrote this function to see if a user selected string contained certain phrases. It keeps returning united states so i am guessing its not cycling through the entire list.

Function region2(searchString As String)
Dim result As String
result = "None"
Dim lng() As String
lng = Array("arabic", "belg", "bul", "czech", "dan", "dut", "dutch", "euro", "finnish", "french", "ger", "greek", "greenland", "hebrew", "hung", "iceland", "international", "ital", "nor", "pol", "portu", "russ", "slov", "spanish", "swe", "swi", "turk", "UK", "united kingdom", "states")

Find/Count Most Common Words & Phrases In List

Jun 25, 2008

I am attempting to take a very large list of keywords, and find the most common words and phrases within them. For example, if I had a list that said:

excel formulas
excel spreadsheet formulas
excel help
excel formulas help form
formulas for excel

I would like to come away knowing that "excel" and "formulas" are common words within the list.

Currently, I believe this can be accomplished by doing the following:

1. Break down each line into all of its possible combinations.This would mean that the line with "excel spreadsheet formulas" would return:

excel spreadsheet formulas
excel spreadsheet
spreadsheet formulas
excel
spreadsheet
formulas

2. Once the entire list is broken down into its many parts, use the pivot table feature of excel to determine how common each of the parts is within the entire data set.

So, my questions are these:

1. Do you believe this is the best way to solve my problem? If not, what would be the preferred method?
2. If this is the best method, what function or script would I use to accomplish the first step of breaking down the lines into their individual parts?

I have an output table that looks like the followings:......

There is 1 input for the spreadsheet: What month? Enter 9, 10, 11 etc. I need it to pull from a data sheet that is set up as such:......

So effectively it needs to vlookup the name in column A, (A, B, or C), and then it needs to match that to the column that has the same name as the output table (Crit.1 or Crit.2 and the number of the month above it (10,11,etc). I attached an excel sheet to better demonstrate

Keyword Matching And Multiple VLOOKUP

Dec 6, 2012

I am looking to automatically assign products to a relevant categories on my website and I am working on a spreadsheet. Each category is has a four digit number assigned to it and categories are limited to 3 (Primary, Secondary & Tipperary)

For example:

Computers - 1000 - Desktops - 1100 - Dual Core PC - 1101
Computers - 1000 - Desktops - 1100 - Quad Core PC - 1102

So as you can see you can tell a Dual Core PC is in the Computer & Desktop categories just by looking at the first two digits. The last two digits are the category number. 01, 02, 03 etc.

What I wish to do is associate keywords to the category determine which category that product should be assigned.

Product ID
Product Title
Product Description
Product Spec1
Product Spec2

1
HP Desktop PC
HP Desktop PC's are computers
Intel Dual Core Processor
500GB HDD

2
HP Desktop PC
HP Desktop PC's are computers
Intel Quad Core Processor
1TB HDD

Keywords assigned to category 1101 are Computers, Computer, PC, Desktop, Dual Core.
Keywords assigned to category 1102 are Computers, Computer, PC, Desktop, Quad Core.

And the spreadsheet looks like this:

The script/sum would look at all the cells and match the highest count of keywords to that particular category and populate additional fields called Cat1, Cat2 & Cat3. Therefore the final spreadsheet would look like this:

Product ID
Product Title
Product Description
Product Spec1
Product Spec2
Cat1
Cat2
Cat3

1
HP Desktop PC
HP Desktop PC's are computers
Intel Dual Core Processor
500GB HDD
1000
1100
1101

2
HP Desktop PC
HP Desktop PC's are computers
Intel Quad Core Processor
1TB HDD
1000
1100
1102

How this can be implemented? possibility with the use of VLOOKUP or MATCH commands?

I believe a vlookup would be fine but there's was only 1 value to match but as it's multiples it would need to prioritise based on the number of keywords matched and not just the first match found.

Matching Cell Formats Based On Matching Cell Values

Jan 28, 2010

I have a cell (A1) that contains text.
That text will match a single value in a reference list (i.e. range of cells e.g. Z1:Z26).
When the match occurs (e.g. A1 = Z16), I want the format of the reference cell (fill color, text color) to apply to the cell of interest (A1).
The reference cells are manually formatted.

I know that I could create a long list of conditional format formulas instead of using the reference, but it seems that there must be some way to tell excel: if the cell value contents are equivalent, the formatting should be as well.

Retrieving Values Based On Matching Values On Separate Worksheets

Feb 17, 2010

Is it possible to have a formula where it will retrieve a specific value on one sheet based on matching values? Unfortunately, hlookup wont work as there are several values in the table where the 'lookup_value' is the same.

Example:

On sheet 1 (titled BSRC), I have a table which has a list of values in column 1. On column two I have the 'lookup value' which needs to be matched and all values underneath it to be retrieved from sheet 2 (titled CSRD). The 'lookup_value' range is on row 9 of sheet 2.

I have attached a sample spreadsheet for clarification.

Excel 2010 :: VLookup To Return 2nd Matching Value

Mar 10, 2012

Is is possible to construct a vlookup to identify that there are duplicate values in the Lookup_value and the Table_array and return the second and third values in the Formula result?

In the acutal project the Lookup_values and Table_arrays are in separate worksheets, but I think the example below represents the issue I'm working with.

I'm using Excel 2010

Matching Row Values Together And Adding Corresponding Row Values

Jun 14, 2007

To best explain my problem I will use this example

Dog 2 400
Cat 4 300
Car 1 200
Dog 7 800
Car 8 900

That data is in the top of my worksheet, and I would like to be able to find all the dog values then reference the 2nd and 3rd column and add all the dog values up and then post the totals in a area below like this

dog 9 1200
cat 4 300
car 9 1100

Stipulations
1) there are different amounts of values, there may be 1 dog value or 10 dog values, I would like the program to recognize the dog values and add the corresponding values.
2) dog, cat, car values are not the only values, there may be others like "tree, apple" but are not in use. So only values in the top of the spreadsheet get referenced to the bottom part.........................

Matching Values Between Sheets?

Jan 4, 2012

I'm trying to store a value in ColumnA Row1 Sheet1 in a variable and check to see that value exists in Sheet2. If the value is in Sheet2, I want to copy the information in Row1 Sheet1 and paste it in the row of the matching value in Sheet2. I need to then check the value in ColumnA Row2 Sheet1 and check again for it in Sheet2 and I need to continue to do this until the data ends in Sheet1.

Code:
Dim x As String
Dim y As String
A = 2
B = 2

[Code]...

The above is the code I've been trying to use. It has two flaws:

It won't let me copy into the row of Sheet2 (not a big deal though)The rows get all mismatched and it doesn't actually search ALL the rows in Sheet2 so it misses some of the values that actually DO match (the big issue) I've racked my brain for hours trying to figure it out using the above method and I think I've reached the point where I'm overthinking it way too much. I also found the "Find" method but I couldn't quite teach myself how to use it.
