  1. I am quite poor on excel and can do simple VLookups. I need to do one that I think should in corporate an If function but do not know how. I need it to Vlookup a selection of codes and return the rate from column 2. However for 1 code I need it to go to one list for the answer, for all other codes I need it to go to another list for the answer. e.g I have 10 carrier codes 9 of the codes have a fixed rate - easy but one of the codes has a different rate for every item. So for the 9 with a fixed rate easy however how do I tell it that if code is this odd one go lookup on this list but if not go lookup on that list? I have played around for days trying to work it out. hope that this makes sense

  2. Hi Alireza,
    for post 54. you can use the following array formula without sorting your first column:
    =max(if(b2:b15=e2,c2:c15))
    use CSE.
    Good luck.

  3. Dear all am looking for some help

    I have a cell with code in it and than a seperated sheet whit the same codes and some devided lanes exp
    cell M17 = TYO
    in sheet 2 I have a range A24 untill B 39 were TYO is mentioned 4 times in A and the in B there is TYO+ each time a different explanation

  4. Hi - I have a table with 3 columns: Course Name, Credits and Category
    IE
    100W 3 GE
    117a 4 GE
    17a 3 Comp
    56 3 Surveys

    I have a worksheet with the following columns: Instructor, Course Name, Total Credits

    Cindy Miller 17a 3
    Shannon Baer 17a 3
    Bill Jones 56 3

    I created a lookup table to calculate the total credits based on the selected course name and looking at the credits associated with same in the table.

    This works fine.

    Now I want to determine the quantity of courses for each Category.

    So in the example of Cindy, Shannon and Bill it would look like this:

    Category # of Courses
    Comp 2 (since course 17a is a category Comp and Shannon and Cindy are teaching)
    Surveys 1 (since course 56 is a category Survey and Bill is teaching)

    Can't wrap my head around how to get the count of courses offered by category.

    thanks for your help

  6. I have two spresdsheets - one having a customer name in column A and product name in column d and another spreadsheet having net price for the same criteria. The net price are different for same product for diffferent customers. I am trying to bring the net price to the first spreadsheet. What is the formula to use? Thanks

  7. Great help to me as a novice. Is there anyway you could assist with the following problem;
    In a cell I have a date which can be changed eg, Aug 2015, Sep 2015, Oct 2015 etc. This in essence represents the sheet name containing the main look up table.Is there a variant of the the vlookup formula below that:
    Updates the formula with the date (sheet tab name) based on the selection in the date cell?
    EXAMPLE: If Sep 2015 selected in date cell, then return the formula ,=VLOOKUP(A6,'SEP 2015'!$B$5:$L$287,7,FALSE).
    If Oct 2015 selected in date cell, then return the formula,=VLOOKUP(A6,'OCT 2015'!$B$5:$L$287,7,FALSE).
    Any help would be greatly appreciated thanks!

  8. I have two tables Main table and Vlookup table. Vlookup table as "place_table". Vlookup table has three sheets of seperated places sheet1 as Mumbai, sheet2 as Delhi, sheet3 as Chandigarh.In main table I am using vlookup formulas seperately =vlookup(b2 ,[place_table.xlsx]Mumabai!1:1048576,2,0), =vlookup(b2 ,[place_table.xlsx]Delhi!1:1048576,2,0), =vlookup(b2 ,[place_table.xlsx]Chandigarh!1:1048576,2,0). In main table I have seperate columb which shows places Mumbai, Delhi and Chandigarh. How can I use this columb to applying only one formulas to all

    for one formula for all three sheets.

  9. Hi again:)

    After a night thinking about the problem above I have answered my own question.

    To increment the "-20" I placed the following in an unused cell on row 20, (in my case this cell is in a column that is normally hidden).

    "=row()"

    this shows the row number & updates every time a row is added above it.

    I named this cell "row_increment"

    Then I adjusted the code above:-
    ),ROW()-20)),"Error")}

    to read:-

    ),ROW()-row_increment)),"Error")}

    So every time I add a new row ABOVE row 20 [=row()] automatically updated the -20 to -21, -22 etc
    My table no longer looses the top row

    I hope this makes sense to others.

  10. Hi

    I've copied and modified your example above for finding duplicate values.
    my code:
    '{=IFERROR(INDEX(expedite_report!$H$8:$H$32000,SMALL(IF($B$21=expedite_report!$A:$A,ROW(expedite_report!$H$8:$H$32000)-14,""),ROW()-20)),"Error")}

    This works very well thank you :)

    I have an issue tho'
    The worksheet is growing all the time with new rows being added which then impacts "ROW()-20". The $B$21 increments as new rows are added but the "-20" does not & I'm loosing results off the top of the array.

    How can I modify this code such that the "-20" increments when a new row or rows are added?

  11. I am trying to create a forumala which will allow me to do the following:

    eg. if the figure in A2 IS the greatest column A then it is 10 and if its 2nd Greatest it is 9 etc.

  12. If you send me some advanced excel formulas, I will be greatful....

    1. Hi SUBHAM,

      You can download a workbook with formula examples discussed in this article here.

      1. Thank you so mush its really helpful

  13. Hi, i have a table with thee sheets with numerous addresses on each sheet. I want to search each of the three sheets and only return the value if the address appears on all three sheets. How do I do this?

  14. This is wonderful, I have found this and one other article very helpful. One question, if you have a moment, can you refer me to an article similar to this but where the second look-up term is actually a range? For Names: John, Fred, Mark and Number of Items are either 0-10, 11-20, 21and greater.

    So basically, one would select John, and enter a number, say 19, and the returning would would be Red or if one A1=Fred, B1=25 - looking for a formula that would return the result of Warm - based on the example table below.
    Thanks!
    0-10 | 11-20 | 21 and up
    John Bronze |Red | Hot
    Fred Silver |Orange | Warm
    Mark Gold |Green | Cole

  15. Hello

    I would like to use the formula "How to do two-way lookup in Excel" and instead of getting the value at the intersection i would like to just paint or fill the cell with a color.

    Any help would be appreciated.

  16. see sample spreadsheet

    A B C
    item product cost
    9501 orange 3.5
    9502 apple 4.5
    9503 pear 6.0

  17. How can I combine two VLookup formulas together, for example the formula I am using is =if(A1=","",VLOOKUP(A1,PRODUCTS,3,FALSE)&IF(A1=","",VLOOKUP(A1,PRODUCTS,2,FALSE))) in return I am getting two answers when I only want one answer not both, if I enter criteria 3 I want to get criteria 3 and if I enter criteria 2 I want to get criteria 2 not both at the same time like I am getting now.
    item product cost
    9501

  18. Hi,

    Thank you for your very useful posts and I hope you can help with a problem I have:

    I have a cell (C6) which contains text based on a vlookup formula. I want another cell (G6) to return either "True" or "False" based on the text in C6. In G6 I have 'IF(C6="Air Cooled","True","False") but this doesn't work. If I just type "Air Cooled" into C6 then it's fine, G6 returns "True".

    Can you please tell me if there is a way around this?

    Thank you.

    1. Hi Anne,

      Your formula is correct and it should work both for values typed manually and returned by other formulas, and it works just fine in my test sheet. An immediate reason for the formula not working that comes to mind is that the value returned by your Vlookup formula has some slight difference in spelling, or a double space between words, leading or trailing space, etc.

  19. Hi, I was wondering if you could help me please?

    I am trying to do a two way VLOOKUP , I have sales invoice numbers and purchase invoice numbers as the initial look up cells, I then want to search for these invoices in two other worksheets, I then would like to column next to the invoice number on the other sheets to appear. I have this at the moment but I does not appear to work,

    =IF(ISNA(VLOOKUP(D39,'Purchase Ledger Control'!B13:B33,2,0)),"",IF(VLOOKUP(D39,'Purchase Ledger Control'!B13:B33,2,0)="",""&IF(ISNA(VLOOKUP(E39,'Sales Ledger Control'!B13:B30,2,0)),"",IF(VLOOKUP(E39,'Sales Ledger Control'!B13:B30,2,0)="",""))))

    Thanks for your help in advance.

  20. how i should proceed for more than two cloumn lookup criteria.

  21. I want 0 inspite of #N/A when ever vlookup comes up with no value (& there is also actually not any value against that respective reference).Can you kindly tell me how can I get that. I used If(iserror also but it brings "Blank" cell when there is #N/A but our requirement is 0.

    Help is greatly appreciated

    1. Hi Assad,

      You can use the IFNA function with 0 in the second argument, like this:
      =IFNA(VLOOKUP(), 0)

      If you want the formula to bring 0 instead of any errors, not only #N/A, then use the IFERROR function:
      =IFERROR(VLOOKUP(), 0)

  22. Hello,
    Can you explain how to get all Duplicate values in a lookup range, looking up values in a different worksheet(of the same workbook)?

  23. Hi!

    This was very helpful.
    If i want the multiple results to be displayed in columns how will i do it with this?

    {=IFERROR(INDEX($C$2:$C$16,SMALL(IF($F$2=B2:B16,ROW(C2:C16)-1,""),ROW()-3)),"")}

    Thank you!

  24. Thanks for the great post. Nevertheless, I have been presented a problem to interpolate in a given lookup "string" which is concatenated a "value" . As an example :

    The string here would represent the pipe name, value is the pipe number, value2 represents the depth and value 3 is the x-coordinate.
    --String Value Value2 Value 3
    Pipe 1 200 50
    Pipe 1 210 60
    Pipe 2 200 45
    Pipe 2 250 60
    Pipe 3 150 50
    Pipe 3 200 55

    I'd like to create a lookup function which I can not only identify but interpolate the x-coordinate (value 3) at a given pipe depth (value 2) and pipe identification (String and value) .

    Naturally I have tried to use combined "helper" (=Pipe&3&150) but unfortunately excel treats this a string but not values. This can only work if I provide the exact depth which would return the exact coordinate value on the table.

    Any advice, my respected excel gurus?

    1. Izwan,

      For us to be able to assist you better, please send your sample workbook with the source data and expected result to support@ablebits.com. I am sorry, at the moment it is not very clear why you need interpolation.

  25. I am trying to use Vlookup in pulling out the grades from a transmutation table. Column A is the lookup value and column B is the equivalent grade. The values in A begin with 0 and increments of 0.01 while column B begins with 60. When this formula is used: =VLOOKUP(T4,Sheet2!$A$1:$B$10000,2,FALSE) the returning value is #N/A.

    Thank you for your help.

  26. Hi, I have been trying to figure this out for some time now so I hope you can help - I have 2 seperate spreadsheets that I need to combine into a sales forecast.

    Basically, I have 2 tabs in my sales and stock forecast -

    1st sheet has product SKUs in stock, and quantity
    2nd sheet has product SKUs and sales in units, not £

    I paste into the stock sheet from an external source, and also the sales from a different source - hence the seperation. The SKUs in stock may not always match the SKU sales, so I need to first match the SKUs, to save trolling through a large number of them, and then transfer over the sold units.

    eg:

    SKUs in stock
    tshirt 2
    bottle 4
    shorts 2
    cap 3

    SKU sales
    tshirt 1
    bottle 2
    cap 1

    So, I think, I need to match tshirt, bottle and cap in the forecast sheet and then match over the sales for each so I can then forecast the next stock.

    I hope this makes sense?!

    Many thanks in advance

  27. Dear all, I want data in below given foramt kindly help me

  28. I have 2 reports; one of previous report and one of current report.
    In the current report, I run vlookup against the previous report for dates to identify new entries and old entries. After which, I run true false to identify whether the dates of the previous report match/differs with the dates of the current report.
    The purpose is to check what are the new entries and also to check if there are date changes from the previous entries.
    The challenge is I create two columns, one for vlookup, one for true false.
    Is there anyway to combine both formulas and have just one column?

  29. Hi, seek help on below.

    Item1 1.05 A
    Item1 2.50 B
    Item1 7.85 C

    I need a formula to match both below:
    -item
    -price that could different by +/-0.50

    Example, if I lookup :
    a. Item1, 2.00 - Return B
    b. Item 1, 5.00 - Error

    Would really appreciate any help or just throw in any ideas as brainstorm. Thanks

  30. Team, i need code for below:

  31. Hi..super work and brilliant ideas. I have a problem in excel that I hope you may be able to help me with. I have a worksheet in which I want to find multiple values that correspond to a merge cell. My worksheet contains Buses 1-4 (A4:A11), each bus in 2 merged cells (for example Bus 1 in merged cells (A4:A5) and each bus has 2 routes (R1 & R2) and 3 stops (S1, S2, S3)in each route in the morning (AM), afternoon (PM), and night (HS). I want vlookup to find the times each bus in waits in each stop for each route at the three different periods (AM, PM, HS). Seems complex by I dried a hundred times to solve it..no way. Any suggestions? I can provide you with a screen snapshot of my excel sheet, or upload it if that helps. Thanks a million
    Samer

  32. Thanks
    info helped me a lot

  33. how many types of vlookup exist?

  35. =VLOOKUP(G2,Table2[[Vendor Name]:[Vendor code2]],2,0) in need to some example this formulas i try to previous work based but i couldn't completed so kingly updated this

  36. Hello Svetlana, I want to create a formula that allows me to firstly find a matching code, then to find a matching date then once both of those items are found to populate the cell with the figure (this figure would be in the cell below the date) see below for example.

    Example 1 (I want to create the formula in the #REF cell under the 24,000):
    29820 Basket 31/03/2015 06/04/2015
    SOH 24,000
    Total OPENING SOH 24,000 #REF! #REF! #REF!
    Demand #REF! #N/A #N/A #N/A
    Projected Closing Stock #REF! #REF! #REF! #REF!

    Example 2 (this data is on a separate worksheet within the same spreadsheet):

    31/03/2015 1/04/2015 8/07/2014 19/08/2014
    29820 Basket 21760 27200 27200 21760 59840 27200 27200

    So ultimately I want to be able to firstly find the code 29820 in the worksheet, then if the date in the worksheet matches the same date in the main worksheet to populate that cell with the number below the date?

    Is this at all possible?

    Thanks,

  37. How to assign same value to a cell using dependent list?
    For(your)example: how can I assign/populate same list for two values(fruits) say 'Mango' and 'Apricot' dynamically without duplicating the list
    values?
    Please let me know.

  38. thank you for your detail explanation
    but i'm working with price table for the same product has more than one price ( from different supplier) i would like to be the output is the lowest price below

    pipe material pipe size pipe type pipe price pipe supplier
    pvc 100 sch40 62$ aapco
    pvc 150 sch40 72$ aapco
    pvc 200 sch40 82$ aapco
    pvc 100 sch40 55$ amis
    so i need the out if the pipe material is pvc and size is 100 and type is sch40 the lowest price (55)?
    can you help me please

  39. Svetlana,

    Thank you so much for this very helpful post. I'm trying to use the array formula for duplicate values in a range.

    =INDEX('Cert II Unit Selector'!$B$30:$B$39,SMALL(IF('Cert II Unit Selector'!K30:K39="Y",ROW('Cert II Unit Selector'!B30:B39)-1,""),ROW()-3))

    I keep getting a #Value error. Essentially, a "Y" is placed next to different selections out of many(say 16 out of 50), and i'd like the title of those labelled "Y" to be copied down row by row onto another worksheet.

    Your formula seems to be the best option for this (I'm VBA shy) but I can't get it to work? Am I doing something wrong?

  40. Hi Svetlana,
    Your tutorials and instructions are fantastic! I am under the impression that the function/formula I am trying to create is not possible in Excel and I am at my wits end. Here is the basic gist:

    Column A contains various vendors
    Column B contains various account types

    I would like to have it so that each cell in an entire sheet will provide the results of each criteria (all of the data is text)

    Column A header is ingredient 1
    Column B header is add 2

    Column A2: Eggs
    Column B2: Bacon
    therefore.....
    Column C2: Delicious

    Column A3: Yogurt
    Column B3: Cheese
    therefore.....
    Column C3: Gross

    Column A4: Banana
    Column B4: Peanut Butter
    therefore.....
    Column C4: Healthy

    I am happy to send over a sample spreadsheet I have that I've been playing with. The report I use typically has 200-300 rows of data. Currently this analysis is done manually and takes DAYS. Thank you!

  41. Saved me hours of formula testing and frustration.

    Productivity
    Staff A =VLOOKUP("Staff A",Actuals,MATCH(05-Jan-15,Actuals,0),FALSE)

    AHT
    Staff A
    Staff B
    Staff C

    The formula seem doesn't work. May you assist?

    Thanks,

    1. Instead of using lookup formula you can use Sumproduct function...

      As per your info suppose you want to see the performance of Staff A for 5th Jan 2015...

      So as per your column format the formula would be

      Productivity

      =SUMPRODUCT(--(TEXT($A$2:$A$11,"d-mmm-yy")="5-Jan-15")*($B$2:$B$11="Staff A")*($C$2:$C$11))

      % Agent Occupancy

      =SUMPRODUCT(--(TEXT($A$2:$A$11,"d-mmm-yy")="5-Jan-15")*($B$2:$B$11="Staff A")*($D$2:$D$11))

      AHT

      =SUMPRODUCT(--(TEXT($A$2:$A$11,"d-mmm-yy")="5-Jan-15")*($B$2:$B$11="Staff A")*($E$2:$E$11))

  45. Hi,

    I have a series of data.

    Category No. EBT 53,483
    1 Computed expected tax 18,719
    2 State taxes, net of federal effect 469
    3 "Indefinitely invested earnings of
    foreign subsidiaries" -4,744
    4 Research and development credit, net -88
    11 Domestic production activities deduction -495
    11 Other 112
    Provision for income taxes 13,973

    I need vlookup to find the categories 11, add both the ocrresponsing numbers (i.e. -495 and 112) and present it in the cell.

    Can i do this. I tried =SUM(VLOOKUP(lookup value, lookup range, {2,3}, FALSE)) but it doesnt work as the numbers are 1 blow the other.

    Its urgent... can some1 plz help.

    Thx

    1. you can use the sumproduct formula...Suppose Column A contains Category number and columns B contains the corresponding number ...so to find the added value for category 11 you can use the below one...

      =Sumproduct((A2:A12=11)*(B2:B12))

      Please check and confirm...

  46. imagine there are several numbers from 1 to N, and each number can be repeated n times. each number has a specific price. by entering a number from 1 to N How is it possible to get the lowest price from the data table. for example :

    Numbers Price
    1 300
    3 400
    7 700
    8 650
    6 300
    5 200
    1 150
    3 400
    7 210
    7 340

    Now by entering 7 we want to find the lowest price which is 210.
    how is it possible?? please help me . thank you in advance.

    1. Hi Alireza..

      If you can sort the data by ascending order then I guess it would be possible by below method..

      Suppose You have column from B2 to B11 the number from 1 to N and its corresponding column (C) contains the specific prices..Then sort the data from largest to smallest at column C then by Column B..After that use the below array formula ..

      =(INDEX($C$2:$C$11,SMALL(IF(7=$B$2:$B$11,ROW($C$2:$C$11)-1,""),1)))

      Please do not forget to press Cntl+Shift+enter after putting the formula..

      Please let me know if it is working or not... In the mean time I will be looking for another method...

      1. Thank you so much for your swift answer. I will try it and I will let you know.
