  • Re: syntax for performing 2 VLOOKUP funcitions in 1 Cell

    Felix I hope I have understood. (My testing had your Product ID (lookup value) in A1 and the Sampling Point Table in A4:C50 on the same sheet. (Just change these to suit)) I came up with this, which tests first if the Product ID exists at all using the AND function and ISERROR, if that returns TRUE I...

  • Avoiding errors when using VLOOKUP on a series of spreadsheet values.

    I have several spreadsheets which rollup to a higher level, summary sheet. Each sheet has a column of names and columns for each month with hours for each name for that month. I need these three spreadsheets to rollup the hours for each person to the summary level spreadsheet. I currently use VLOOKUP...

  • Re: Can I subtract one list from a second list?

    You simply need to use a VLOOKUP against the data in the original list (remember names may not be unique so you may need to join a few fields together to be more certain). If your names are in A1:A9000 on Sheet1 and your 2000 new customers on sheet2 in the same book, A1:A2000 then in B1 on the first...

  • 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...
