Morning,
My fault, let me converted to English.
My concern is that I do not know how to connect table_1's category with the table_2's column and then found the correct color
You need to use either the VLOOKUP or HLOOKUP feature when structuring your results table. For instance in cell C3 (color for head/set1) you would type =HLOOKUP(a2,e2:h5,2,FALSE). It will look horizontally in the first row for whatever is in cell A2 (HEAD) and return the value from the 2nd row (RED). Of flip it around to use HLOOKUP.
https://support.office.com/en-us/article/hlookup-function-a3034eec-b719-4ba3-bb65-e1ad662ed95f
Please try this formula, to be entered in row 3 where columns A and B are "category" and "Sets" respectively.
=VLOOKUP(B3,E1:H4,MATCH(A3,E1:H1,0),FALSE)
E1:H4 represents your entire table2 incl captions. You can exclude the caption row - probably better. E1:H4 is the first row of that same range. There is presumed to be only one caption row which is needed, and must be 1 only. If you prefer a neater solution take the data column captions only and adjust the result. Then your formula might look like this.
=VLOOKUP(B2,E2:H4,MATCH(A2,F1:H1,0)+1,FALSE)

How do I find either the cell address or preferably the row and column of the value 119, or any other number in the table below?
The table does not contain row or column titles, only the numbers as shown.
I am looking for a worksheet solution (formula) and not a VBA solution.
An Array Formula
This is an array formula and it has to be entered with control shift enter i.e. hold control shift and then press enter.
=MAX(IF(A1:J34=119,ROW(A1:J34)-ROW(A1)+1))
Remarks:
The value is searched by column i.e. A1, A2, ... B1, B2 ... i.e. if you had another 119 in cell D1 the result would still be 2, and if you had a 119 in cell c1 then the result would be
1.
For a column version just replace ROW with COLUMN:
=MAX(IF(A1:J34=119,COLUMN(A1:J34)-COLUMN(A1)+1))
Well, clunky and you can expand it, but it does work:
Row is separate to column but you could put them together in one cell, does depend on how you want to use the results, but you did not specify that so I have done this...
You could use a choose() function or a lookup table with vlookup() to change the column result to a letter...
Please try:
=MOD((K1-50),34)+1&" | "&1+(INT((K1-50)/34))
where K1 is your selected value.
Returns R | C. (Data in A1:J34 is not required.)
Below is a general purpose answer based on VBasic2008's answer.
I modified the formulas to utilize defined names so that the cell references do not have to be hard coded in the formulas. This way both the data table and row / column formulas can be relocated to anywhere on the spreadsheet. It works for both numerical AND text based data.
I also included the =ADDRESS() function to return the absolute reference of the look up value.
For illustration purposes, a step by step example for Data Set 1 is shown replacing the hard coded cell references with defined names.
The Data Set 2 section is the simplified version just using one defined for each the row and column look up value.
You can download an example spreadsheet here: Look_Up_a_Value_in_a_Table.xls

I'm having an issue with INDEX + MATCH combination:
=INDEX(ALL!$C$1:$I$1,MATCH(TRUE,ALL!C2:I2<>0,0))
At the moment the aforementioned formula does this job to an extent, where if it finds <>0 value in a row it will return header from this specific column. The issue is that the ROW (as above C2:I2) needs to be specified.
I need to vlookup values in the column "A" in sheet "ALL" and based on that, look at corresponding rows between C:I and if the value in that specific row is <>0 then return heading value.
So, in green I would need a formula to pick up numbers from "Data Source" headings, based on value 1 or any value <>0. I'm guessing it all leads somehow to some sort of "vlookup" hybrid.
Any ideas how to combine vlookup in it?
Thanks
If there can only be one '1' per row, I was thinking of this
=SUMIF(INDEX(B:E,MATCH(G2,A:A,0),0),">0",$B$1:$E$1)
Otherwise if there can be more than one '1'
=INDEX($B$1:$E$1,MATCH(TRUE,INDEX(B:E,MATCH(G2,A:A,0),0)>0,0))
to match the first value greater than zero, in this case entered as an array formula.
A simple =SUMIF() formula will do, no other convoluted INDEX() and MATCH() nested formulas required.
Let's presume we have a data-table that starts at B2 and end at
F6, like this:
So now, to comprehend the solution, here's the syntax of SUMIF() formula (Function):
=SUMIF( range, criteria, [sum_range] )
So, what we want to do is:
go over the range of C3:F3 (and each other respective row)
the criteria to when to sum, is when this range contains 1
and we want to sum_range (sum up) fixed array of numbers, so $C$2:$F$2
So the result is (for row 3):
=SUMIF(C3:F3,1,$C$2:$F$2)
and we drag the formula down, producing expected result:
PS: I think this illustrates the point very well, as to why it's important to declare not only what your formula is doing but also, what you're trying to as in whole as there often is a better (easier) way to implement something, that you might not have thought of.
In other words, follow the Minimal, Complete and Verifiable Example
Hi all,
I have this excel where by I need to find the location of the item if they are found in column B.
So In my F column, I tried to write ifelse formula which didnt work.which is
=IF(D2="NULL","NONE",C((D2))).
My idea is if D2 is not null, use the value in D column to find the location in C column. In this example, fish no 4, so it is found, my F column should show the value "C" using the value shown in D column and use it as Row no in C column
I hope you guys get the idea and help me out a newbie in excel. Thanks in advance
=vlookup($D2,$A$2:$C$6,3,0)
you can use that in column F. Place that formula in F2 and copy down.
you could technically use it in column E as well, but you would need to change the 3 to a 2.
you did not say what you wanted to do if the D value was "Null" so I am going to take a stab at the dark and wrap you lookup formula in an if statement that will deal with "Null" or empty cells
=IF(OR($D2="NULL",$D2=""),"",VLOOKUP($D2,$A$2:$C$6,3,0))
That is the alternative formula to place in F2 and copy down.
Use the formula:
=IF(D2<>"NULL",VLOOKUP(D2,A2:C6,3,FALSE),"Value is NULL")
Here is the working example:
Put formula in cell F2 and drag it down.
[edit]to pull proper location column, not just the row #[/edit]
Seems like a job for MATCH+OFFSET
Try this formula in cell F2:
=OFFSET($C$1, MATCH(E2,B:B,0)-1, 0, 1, 1)
Match is used to locate the value in the first argument (ie E2) within the range specified in 2nd argument (ie B:B). I use B:B but you could also use range B2:B30 or whatever more specific range you want. (I prefer the more generic B:B, though :) )
Third paramter "0" just indicates "Exact match".
This function will retun "#N/A" if nothing found.
OFFSET takes the result from MATCH to pick out the Location you want. The first parameter in OFFSET is the rows below (or above if negative) from the base row (in this case $C$1). the next is the column: 0 since we're in the column we want to be in. The last two are the size of the range: 1,1 is a 1x1 cell, so just 1 cell. If we did ...,2,3), that would be 2 rows high and 3 columns wide - or a 6 cell range. We're just after 1 cell here.
I've always preferred MATCH + OFFSET to other options, I just found they held up more robustly to changes in a sheet (ie new rows/columns added). So it's mostly personaly preference over VLOOKUP and INDEX. I honestly have never compared their actual performance, however, I've never had any issues with MATCH+OFFSET running slowly :)
Hi All,
I have a table for employee scores levels (Table D1 to F6), there is points for each level, for example score (4.60) will be in the 3rd level which has (3) points.
I want to write a formula in the column (B) to check in the table an return the point value from the column F, You can see the examples in D2 & D3.
Regards
Adel
What you need is one of the most awesome functions ever invented... VLOOKUP
=VLOOKUP(A2,$D$2:$F$6,3, TRUE)
(Paste in B2 and drag down)
Quick explanation of the arguments.
A2 is the value we're going to be looking up in the table
$D$2:$F$6 is the "table" we're going to be looking up. It's going to search the first column of it (You could have anything you wanted in Column D, VLOOKUP Only looks at the first column).
3 is the column number of our table that contains the answers we want to be looking up, and returning (in this case, F).
TRUE means we want to search ranges, not just exact values. If it was FALSE then we'd only get the numbers we wanted if we entered the precise scores.
Of course, using this method, there isn't any upper bounds to it, a value of say 20 would give us the last row (i.e. 5 points), however, you could fix this easily using an IF statement.
=IF(A2 > $E$6, "N/A", VLOOKUP(A2,$D$2:$F$6,3, TRUE))
This could of course be done a bit neater if you believed you were going to be adding more rows to the table later, but it works for now.
Use the Below formula in cell B2:
=VLOOKUP(A2,$D$2:$F$6,3, TRUE)
Basically my problem is that I have a string in one cell in excel, I then need to see if that string exists in another row (not one cell but the whole row) and if so then print the contents of another cell in the same row but in another column.
I will give a basic example:
Title Answer
Police 15
Ambulance 20
Fire 89
Now I need to scan the title column for, say, "Police" and then populate the cell with the value under Answer (in this case 15).
I cant just say IF(A2="Police";B2;"" as I need the scan the whole of the Title column.
I have tried using IF(COUNTIF(A$2:A$100;"Police"); which scans the contents of A2 to A100 for the string Police, and know how to make it print a constant (just put something after the ;) but cant work out how to make that "constant" a variable that changes depending on the found row. So if the COUNTIF found Police in cell A44 then the answer to my formula would be B44, the same as if it found Police in A62 then my formula should show B62
I hope this makes sense and that someone can help me :)
Note that I am using excel 2010 and need a normal formula as I can not use scripting for this document.
EDIT:
Here is what I have so far, note that the spreadsheet I am using is far more complex than the "simple" example I have in the question...
=IF(ISNUMBER(FIND("RuhrP";F9));LOOKUP(A9;Ruhrpumpen!A$5:A$100;Ruhrpumpen!I$5:I$100);"")
This is showing "RuhrP" in every answer where "RuhrP" is found in F9 and not the answer I want which should be that found in RuhrPumpen!I$5:I$100 where the cell index is the same as that for the A coloum where A9 was found. Again, sorry for the complexity I cant think of any better way to word it.
I note you suggested this formula
=IF(ISNUMBER(FIND("RuhrP";F9));LOOKUP(A9;Ruhrpumpen!A$5:A$100;Ruhrpumpen!I$5:I$100);"")
.....but LOOKUP isn't appropriate here because I assume you want an exact match (LOOKUP won't guarantee that and also data in lookup range has to be sorted), so VLOOKUP or INDEX/MATCH would be better....and you can also use IFERROR to avoid the IF function, i.e
=IFERROR(VLOOKUP(A9;Ruhrpumpen!A$5:Z$100;9;0);"")
Note: VLOOKUP always looks up the lookup value (A9) in the first column of the "table array" and returns a value from the nth column of the "table array" where n is defined by col_index_num, in this case 9
INDEX/MATCH is sometimes more flexible because you can explicitly define the lookup column and the return column (and return column can be to the left of the lookup column which can't be the case in VLOOKUP), so that would look like this:
=IFERROR(INDEX(Ruhrpumpen!I$5:I$100;MATCH(A9;Ruhrpumpen!A$5:A$100;0));"")
INDEX/MATCH also allows you to more easily return multiple values from different columns, e.g. by using $ signs in front of A9 and the lookup range Ruhrpumpen!A$5:A$100, i.e.
=IFERROR(INDEX(Ruhrpumpen!I$5:I$100;MATCH($A9;Ruhrpumpen!$A$5:$A$100;0));"")
this version can be dragged across to get successive values from column I, column J, column K etc.....
Assuming
source data range is A1:B100.
query cell is D1 (here you will input Police or Fire).
result cell is E1
Formula in E1 = VLOOKUP(D1, A1:B100, 2, FALSE)
I figured out such data design:
Main sheet:
Column A: Pump codes (numbers)
Column B: formula showing a corresponding row in sheet 'Ruhrpumpen'
=ROW(Pump_codes)+MATCH(A2;Ruhrpumpen!$I$5:$I$100;0)
Formulae have ";" instead of ",", it should be also German notation. If not, pleace replace.
Column C: formula showing data in 'Ruhrpumpen' column A from a row found by formula in col B
=INDIRECT("Ruhrpumpen!A"&$B2)
Column D: formula showing data in 'Ruhrpumpen' column B from a row found by formula in col B:
=INDIRECT("Ruhrpumpen!B"&$B2)
Sheet 'Ruhrpumpen':
Column A: some data about a certain pump
Column B: some more data
Column I: pump codes. Beginning of the list includes defined name 'Pump_codes' used by the formula in column B of the main sheet.

Guys Its very interesting to know that many of us face the problem of replication of lookup value while using the Vlookup/Index with Match or Hlookup.... If we have duplicate value in a cell we all know, Vlookup will pick up against the first item would be matching in loopkup array....So here is solution for you all...
e.g.
in Column A we have field called company....
Column A Column B Column C
Company_Name Value
Monster 25000
Naukri 30000
WNS 80000
American Express 40000
Bank of America 50000
Alcatel Lucent 35000
Google 75000
Microsoft 60000
Monster 35000
Bank of America 15000
Now if you lookup the above dataset, you would see the duplicity is in Company Name at Row No# 10 & 11. So if you put the vlookup, the data will be picking up which comes first..But if you use the below formula, you can make your lookup value Unique and can pick any data easily without having any dispute or facing any problem
Put the formula in C2.........A2&"_"&COUNTIF(A2:$A$2,A2)..........Result will be Monster_1 for first line item and for row no 10 & 11.....Monster_2, Bank of America_2 respectively....Here you go now you have the unique value so now you can pick any data easily now..
Cheers!!!
