could someone please tell me whats wrong with my =VLOOKUP(E3;E:E; 2;0) - function?
In German it is the following: =SVERWEIS(E3;E:E; 2;0)
I never used the VLOOKUP - function before so I just try to make it work somehow. Unfortunately it does not get the reference right, although I compare numbers with numbers in the same workbook. I also tried =SVERWEIS(E3;E:E; 2;1) but it didn't work either.
Thank's a lot!
Greetings!
You have the number 2 for the column where the values are located, but your range is only 1 column. If the value you want to return is in column E then the number 2 should be a 1. But if the value you want to return is in column F, then you need to change the range to include column F

I am now looking for a solution to this problem for hours and loosing my mind.
I want to go through a list and check if the text in cell D equals one in range $N$2:$N$90. If yes it should return 1, else 0.
How am I able to check this?
Thanks in advance!
Try
=if(iferror(match(D1,$N$2:$N$90,0),0)>0,1,0)
Then drag down for all the cells in column D you want to check
This is just an example as the cells don't match:
E53 has the working function, F53 shows the function.
=VLOOKUP(A2,C2:C238,2,FALSE) I have attached an image of my excel file and the 2 columns to be compared . I have written this formula but its throwing error.Thanks IN advance for helping
You're trying to reference the 2nd column in a table range that only has 1 column
Try using:
=VLOOKUP(A2,C2:C238,1,FALSE)
You might also want to make the range constant so use
=VLOOKUP(A2,$C$2:$C$238,1,FALSE)
Or if the column you're trying to return is column D then you'll need to use
=VLOOKUP(A2,C2:D238,2,FALSE)
I presume you want to check if there is a match. Use the MATCH function instead.
If you are simply trying to determine if the value of A2 exists in C2 then all you need to do is change your formula to the following:
=vlookup(A2, $C$2:$C$238,1,FALSE)
This formula will return the value of A2 if there is a match and #N/A if there is no match. If you want to make it look a little nicer you can use the following:
=if(iserror(vlookup(A2, $C$2:$C$238,1,FALSE))=FALSE,"Match exists","No match exists")
This basically just gives you the option to change the result value by changing the text within the quotes.
I need help with creating sum formula on Excel sheet.
I need on excel show sum formula without specific rows. In these rows for example is word "W" or something other way. And I need show sum for example:
=SUM(A1:A5) ........ without if column E have = "W"
I tried checkbox solution, but I finding other better solution:
Please can you help me, how can I do it?
EDIT :
i also posting you my excel sheet what i tried from your solution, but not working:
example of excel sheet
You are looking for something like =SUMPRODUCT(--(NOT(E1:E5="W")),A1:A5). Sumproduct multiplies everything in one column with everything in another, and sums the results. -- converts a boolean statement into a 1 or a 0.
So, with this formula, you would be multiplying each item in column A with either a 1 or a 0. Obviously, things multiplied by zero do not have any effect on the final sum :)
You could use SUMIF formula to only sum column A if the column E has a value of W like below:
=SUMIF(E:E,"w",A:A)
Good Afternoon,
I am trying to use and HLOOKUP to INDEX a variable column in a date/dollars report. Please look at my data and the formulas I have written.
The goal is to have a date in Q6 that will return the person's $'s spent in that month.
Here is the data and formulas I am using...
Fixed Value of Column to return "1-Dec-16" (Q6)
Row to Return "Billy" (Q8)
HLOOKUP(Q6,B1:O1,1) = 1-Dec-16
INDEX(M:M,MATCH(Q8,A:A,FALSE),1) = 12
Combining them (replacing the specific M:M callout) gives me a REF error
INDEX(HLOOKUP(Q6,B1:O1,1),MATCH(Q8,A:A,FALSE),1) = #REF!
Can anyone explain why this error is occurring or perhaps help me tweak the code to get the formula working. I appreciate any assistance.
It's because the HLOOKUP just gives a single value, but you need a whole column to go in the first part of the INDEX statement.
You could get the column by using index-match on the two-dimensional array A:O
INDEX(A:O,,MATCH(Q6,1:1,0))
and then use this in another index-match
=INDEX(INDEX(A:O,,MATCH(Q6,1:1,0)),MATCH(Q8,A:A,0))
but I think it's easier to find the row and column with MATCH statements and use just one INDEX to find the cell you want:-
=INDEX(A:O,MATCH(Q8,A:A,0),MATCH(Q6,1:1,0))
I have the following VLOOKUP in a cell on sheet1.
=VLOOKUP(I2,Sheet2!B:C,2)
I assumed that this would attempt to return the corresponding value in column C on sheet 2 if it found a value in column B on sheet 2 that matched the value in I2 in sheet 1.
This doesn't seem to work though. Any ideas where I'm going wrong?
Think you need to add the 4th parameter - range_lookup. I always set this to FALSE.
i.e. =VLOOKUP(I2,Sheet2!B:C,2,FALSE)
With my Excel 2003 it is working, when I replace the "," by ";". Are there versions out there that exepts "," as divider between the parameters?
This is working for me:
=VLOOKUP(I2;Sheet2!B:C;2)
If you want to have only exact matches then you should use
=VLOOKUP(I2;Sheet2!B:C;2;FALSE)
