  • Re: VLOOKUP Function

    Sherrie Ann VLOOKUP will go from top to bottom and then when it finds a match it will take the value from x number of columns to the right. (Signified by the offset attribute). Therefore if you are sure that the match you want to find is the first from the top, that is the value that is returned. VLOOKUP...

  • Cleaning up OCR'd addresses with Search Function (or VBA)

    I have a spreadsheet of addresses that was scanned using OCR. The scanner did an acceptable job of text recognition, however due to additional Title's (i.e. MD, PhD, RN, etc) the columns in excel became wildly unmanageable. I need to extract Telephone, Fax and E-mail from a long list of contacts...

  • To Vlookup or Not - that is the question.

    This ties a little to zfraile's post on faster lookups but most definatlely applies ONLY to unsorted lists. In this environment specifying a sorted list is not an option. A lot of our workbooks use Vlookups extensivley but the recalculation times are starting to suffer. So I started combining MATCH...

  • Faster Lookups

    Lately I've been coming across situations where I need to join one or more fields from a large dataset to another large dataset. The obvious answer is a vlookup. However, the speed of the vlookup drops dramatically the larger the datasets, which makes sense, a 100,000 row dataset being matched against...

  • Re: if / then formulas (conditional?)

    Or for completeness if you have Excel 2007 use the built-in IFERROR function =IFERROR(VLOOKUP(A1,Sheet2$A$1:$B$250,2,FALSE),"")

  • Re: if / then formulas (conditional?)

    Floodzone As you have so many conditions I would use a separate table and a Vlookup formula, so image you have a table on Sheet2 covering A1:B250, with the values 1-250 in A1:A250 and the associated 'arbitrary values' in B1:B250, then on sheet1 in B1 type =VLOOKUP(A1,Sheet2!$A$1:$B$250,2,FALSE...

  • Re: Mr Smith=phone number (xxx) xxx-xxxx AND email xxx@yyy.com when Mr Smith appears 5 times in a spreadsheet

    I suspect I'm being thick here, but are you simply looking for a VLOOKUP? Just enter in B1 =VLOOKUP(A1,$D$1:$F$14,2,FALSE) and just change the ,2, to ,3, for the other column of longitudes and copy down. As I say, probably not want you want at all

  • Re: Formula

    Durban I'm not too sure I understand, is the cell that you want the result in random??? Let me try and explain my understanding. If you want to produce say an invoice on sheet2 from a list of parts on sheet1 for example then build your table of parts and prices on sheet1 (Part# in column A, Price...

  • Re: Formula

    Durban In Excel 2007 you can use more than 7 IF statements, but this will get ugly if you have too many criteria, something like =IF(A1="A",Holy Cow","") This says if A1 is "A" then put Holy Cow, or else leave the cell blank "". If you need multiple criteria...
