Vlookup: Search For Value In SECOND Column Of Table Array And Return Value From FIRST
Oct 7, 2008
I'm looking for a formula to search for a value in the SECOND (instead of first) column of a table array and return a value in the same row from FIRST (instead of the same or another) column in the table array. Formula would be searching for the unique production order number in the column B and return production line id from the column A.
A1 production line_id
B1 poduction_order_number
A2 L1
A3 L2
A4 L1
B2 505212
B3 504234
B4 505663
I was trying vlookup(504234;B2:A4;2;0) to make formula go search from right columns to the left but then excel is switching the search table to A2:B4 and gives #N/D!
One remark-there is no possibility to switch these 2 columns to simplify. I have to leave them as they are.

I looked for a way to represent my data in a cleaner way than this but couldn't find any tools....a point in the right direction would be helpful. I guess the old plug-in that converted Excel->HTML isn't available?
Column A is a finished product and B-D are the ingredients to make it however values in Column A are also ingredients (sometimes multiple times). I want a formula that searches for values in Column A within the table B1:D5 and returns an array, if possible, of the finished products where Column A was used.
For example, searching for Sugar would return "Flour, Water". Searching for Water would return "Milk, Eggs" (I'd rather not have Milk listed twice but beggars can't be choosers).

I have an array 20 Rows x 42 Columns, which contains a competition draw.
I need to search this array for a unique value and return whatever the time is in the first column on the same row as the value appears, and enter it into column C in the Womens Times sheet.
I also want to return into column D the court number from row 3.
The reason i want this automated is as teams enter / withdraw we may need to drag the games from court to court to fill gaps, so i want the Womens Times sheet to update accordingly.
I have been messing around with index and match, but cannot quite get it to return what i need.
I have attached an example ... on the sheet "Womens Times" in column A there is a list of game numbers ( #1W etc etc) indicating womens game #1 and so on. The main sheet i am using also has a seperate tab for the mens games, hence the designator of W or M on the end of the game number.

I am creating a tracking spreadsheet where i can toggle between months (attached). It returns data properly when I select January or February from the yellow highlighted dropdown list. However, when i choose March, it returns 1/0/1900 because no data has been entered for March (table array) on the AAAG tab. How do I write the formula to return a blank cell on the summary sheet when no information has been entered into the table array yet?

I have a Vlookup which I want to modify so that it can become dynamic as the table array part of the vlookup will change.
So the basic vlookup is as follows:
=VLOOKUP($R$3,ATTRIBUTION_FACTSET!$M$60:$P$73,2,0)
but the data I am looking for wont always be in the range M60:P73.
So I tried to make it dynamic by doing the following:
=VLOOKUP($R$3,INDIRECT("ATTRIBUTION_FACTSET"&"!M"&U1&":P"&V1),2,FALSE)
The idea being that U1 and V1 would be numbers that can change so in this case U1 would equal 60 and V1 would equal 73
This vlookup is giving me #N/A and no matter how I modify it I cannot get it to work.

I have a formula which I took from another post to return a particular value in a specified cell as follows;
=INDEX(A1:E9,M3+MIN(IF(A1:E9=K3,ROW(A1:E9)-3)),N3+MIN(IF(A1:E9=K3,COLUMN(A1:E9)-1)))
However I don't understand what the -3 and -1 does and I believe it is these entries that are causing the error.

I have a sheet with Names in it. I need to look those names up and find which org they belong to. The problem is the the names have many characters after them, and many names belong to a few orgs, with a the rest belonging to many orgs. (See below)
I have been trying to get a Vlookup to work, but since it can't go left, it won't look up the orgs that don't own at least three names. And I can't get the search to work on the names.
Names:
WSGHG1-8410YFH
WSSMXG-8401B8T
NBSMXG-0310V6R
NBXG-0310V6V

i wish to have a result of the below.
there are random dates in a column say D6:D17 in the format of (10/02/2014), there could only be one date in this column array or there could be several, like:
1/02/2014
12/04/2014
17/06/2014
5/12/2014
i also have an aray below this in cells D19:D30 With the "A" column showing the months Jan to Dec.
i wish to look the array of D6:D17 and populate the below cells corresponding with the months only, see example below. the reason for this is i wish to then turn the cell green with conditional formatting if there is a date in that month fro the original array.
Date10/02/2014
Date10/04/2014
Date10/06/2014
Date10/08/2014
Date10/12/2014

I want to search a data set and return the maximum value based on 3 criteria using (array) formulas.
Say the data set contained the following:
Row 1: column headings (date, name, data 1, data 2, data 3, etc)
Column A: dates
Column B: names
Columns C through G: data
I want to find the maximum value for a given name, in a certain month, and a nominated data column (e.g. data 2). For example:
Month = June
Name = Geoff
Data column = Data 2
Max value = ????
All of the data in the data columns is numeric.

I have one sheet that contains data about products, the product number, the class it belongs to, and many other bits. The data is sorted by product number.
In a second sheet I have a list of classes in column G, I'd like to return a list of product numbers in columns H to wherever is needed.
For example there might be two products in class one, class one is in G1, with the first product number in H1 and the second in H2.

I have a spreadsheet with 51 worksheets - a "Master" worksheet and 50 datasheets (labelled 1-50). Within the "Master" worksheet the first column has numerical values ranging from 1-50.
One of the columns in the "Master" worksheet is a VLOOKUP that is trying to pull data, of which the table array is dependent upon the value in the first column. For example:
If cell A2 has the number 1 the VLOOKUP would be:
=VLOOKUP(E2,'1'!$A:$E,3,0)
If cell A2 had the number 2 the VLOOKUP would be:
=VLOOKUP(E2,'2'!$A:$E,3,0)
If cell A2 had the number 3 the VLOOKUP would be:
=VLOOKUP(E2,'3'!$A:$E,3,0)
etc.
Tried nesting an INDIRECT function with the VLOOKUP but it didn't work.

I am currently using the following formula:
=VLOOKUP($A$3, Sheet1!A:B, 2, 0)
=VLOOKUP($A$3, Sheet1!C:D, 2, 0)
=VLOOKUP($A$3, Sheet1!E:F, 2, 0)
The problem is I am trying to get the table Array portion (A:B , C:D , E:F etc.) to auto fill when I drag it across and it will but not correctly. How to autofill with the pattern that I need?
Currently it would auto fill with D:E , F:G, H:I G:H I:J

I need to be able to do a look up in 9 different table arrays using 9 different ranges.
I have attached a worksheet to help explain. My problem is that I can't have 9 IF statements in one formula.
I am not sure how to make this smaller or work.

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 am trying to build a udf to replicate a vlookup where the table array is in another file.
The scenario is that very often I use store numbers and want to add the associated name quickly without having to open up the reference file and use a vlookup. So I am looking for something like =storename(number)

I would like to make date in the table array (07 July7-02-2006) a variable, but keep getting an #NA with my limited experience. From what I can gather the single quotes are causing the problem?

In a large spreadsheet that receives external data, I have codes (U, N or V) allocated at various times to different rows as shown in sample worksheet attached. Elsewhere in the spreadsheet, I need to display (for later export) these codes along with their respective number in a sorted list. Please review the attached:
In the spreadsheet you'll see a column of codes, the next column is the data reference number, then to the right is three columns, one for each code. As displayed in the sample book attached, each Code column is to display the data reference number (from column 2)that matches that column's code.
What formula can I use to list these numbers in the appropriate columns?

I need to make a vlookup which returns values for many 1000 material numbers. The values is located several other files. My problem is that i dont want to update all vlookups every time the other files (with my values) are getting updated.
e.g.
i want to have en cell A1: FileNameVersion1 and when someone updates the file the only thing i have to do is to change the name in cell A1 to FileNameVersion2.

I have a workbook containing 2 sheets. In the first sheet I have a list of values, let's say that the list contains names:
Worksheet1
Column A
Peter
Paul
In another worksheet I have another column, also containing names:
Worksheet2
Column A
James Harrow
Paul Givens
I wish to perform a vlookup in worksheet2 but cannot use wildcards in the table array :
Vlookup ("*"&ColumnA&"*";Table1[Table or table and column];1;false). What I want should look like the following: ("*"&ColumnA&"*";"*"&Table1[Table or table and column]&"*";1;false)
In this problem, it is not appropriate to query back to front; i.e. vlookup worksheet1 instead of vlookup in worksheet 2.
I have seen an interesting post that uses macros (on this site, I think) but was not able to implement it.

I'm using a vlookup formula, and the thing I'm searching by is a part number. The problem is that in my table array, all the cells for part numbers have that green error flap in every cell, saying "The number in this cell is formatted as text or preceded by an apostrophe."
Some part numbers have letters on the end of them, ie: 12345N. When I go into a particular cell's error drop down menu and choose "Convert to Number," the vlookup will work with this cell. My problem is that the table array is several thousand rows, and I don't know how to fix them all at once.

I have a table that shows a row of dates, a row of campaigns, and then a row of values I need to reference. I need to pull the values for a specific date and corresponding campaign.
For example, I need to pull the value for campaign 'notset' on 6/16/09.
I tried the following, but it would only work on the first and last campaign: ...

Sheet 1 contains:
Item Sheet 2
ABC =vlookup(A2,'Sheet 2'!$A:$B,2,false)
Sheet 2 contains:
Item Data
ABC 2
I'm trying to get the vlookup to return the value "2"
Right now, I'm manually entering the tab name in the vlookup function, even though it's contained in cell B1.
The tabs are contained in the same workbook if that matters. Since this workbook is growing rather quickly, this is a painful process and doesn't feel very scalable. Since I'm using a mac, I need to do this with functions vs. macros. Does anybody know how I can reference a cell for the name of a tab in the vlookup function?
I was thinking I could maybe somehow do this with the INDIRECT function but I'm stumped.

I use VLOOKUP a lot and the simple VLOOKUP I am attempting is a very common exercise for me. That doesn't make me an expert just very familiar with it.
I have a worksheet where column A is a 5 digit reference and I use column A as the lookup value. In a worksheet in another spreadsheet I have a load of data but column A is also a 5 digit reference. I am trying to pull cell content from a single column of data from the second worksheet into the first worksheet when there is a match for the 5 digit reference.
The problem is, using the wizard, the lookup value is entered ok but when I come to highlight the range of cells in the second worksheet nothing appears in the table array line in the wizard.
References in both worksheets are numerical and sorted in numerical ascending order. Both spreadsheets have been saved.
However if I copy the worksheet from the second spreadsheet and simply copy it into a new worksheet in the first and then try referencing it as a table array it works just fine.
For such a simple exercise I always use the wizard as it is so much quicker, but I can't figure out why it won't work the way it usually does.

I'm working on a project in Excel (for a restauraunt) and I basically need to make a formula to work out what an item is, using it's ID number and referencing the certain menu that it is in.
as you can see the table array is defined in cell E3, but i still get a #N/A result, and when I replace the "E3" in the formula with "Deserts" it produces a result.

I am doing a postage calculator to calculate postal rates for posting.
However, I am facing some problems. In the Main Sheet, Postal rates, I need to do something
1) We are divided into Zones - 1 to 4
Can I do a Variable that if I type Zone 1 and it will Vlookup on Zone 1 sheet and if I type Zone 4, it will Vlookup on Zone 4 sheet
2nd problem is that:
The postage needed: When I did a Vlookup, when I key in 55, it will select the wrong price table, if you take a look at the attached spreadsheet, 55g for Zone 4 it came out $2.05 but it should be the following rate which is $2.40.

I have a spreadsheet where there are multiple records for each person. Each subsequent record contains information about one year prior to the one above it. So the first records contains info for 2005, the next 2004 and so on. I have the following formula in a cell in sheet 1: VLOOKUP($A2,'Sheet1 (2)'!$A$1:'Sheet1 (2)'!$DD$8796,11,FALSE)
I want to copy the VLOOKUP formula to the cell next to my original cell and have it begin searching on the first row after the first record and continue for each cell to the right. For example, if the lookup in my first cell (say A1) find the result on row 20, I want the lookup formula in B1 to start with row 21. So the change on the formula above would have to change the $A$1 above to $a$row below the first row found. I have a formula which tells me about the first instance of the vlookup finding the first row with the unique identifier.

I am trying to do a vlookup where the values in the Table_Array have a string appended to them. For example:
I want to look up the string "Example1" and the lookup range is
Example1 - monthly
Example2 - weekly
Example3 - weekly
Example4 - monthly
So essentially I want vlookup to only look at the string before the hyphen. My initial thought was to do something like this: vlookup("Example1", left(A:A, 8), 1, FALSE)
