excel vlookup multiple rows into one cell - excel

I would like to get the data from several rows from one sheet sheet1 into a single cell on another sheet sheet2 based on a lookup.
For example there is data on one sheet :
sheet1
And I would like to lookup data based on id and return all the concerning rows into one cell like this:
sheet2
Is that possible with an excel formula or is this only solvable with VBA?
Thank you for your help in advance.
I found a vba that came close to a solution but didn't work. I've looked at "index, match" functions "small" functions but could find a solution that puts data into a single cell...
This is the vba code I found that came close to solution:
'Function SingleCellExtract(Lookupvalue As String, LookupRange As Range, ColumnNumber As Integer)
Dim i As Long
Dim Result As String
For i = 1 To LookupRange.Columns(1).Cells.Count
If LookupRange.Cells(i, 1) = Lookupvalue Then
Result = Result & " " & LookupRange.Cells(i, ColumnNumber) & ","
End If
Next i
SingleCellExtract = Left(Result, Len(Result) – 1)
End Function'
the vba threw value or compile errors.. it looks like it only returns values from one vertical column

"Is that possible with an excel formula or is this only solvable with VBA?"
It sure is possible through formula, but you'll have to have access to the TEXTJOIN function:
Formula in H2:
=TEXTJOIN(CHAR(10),TRUE,IF($A$2:$A$11=G2,$B$2:$B$11&", "&$C$2:$C$11&", "&$D$2:$D$11&", "&$E$2:$E$11,""))
Note: It's an array formula and need to be confirmed through CtrlShiftEnter
Drag the formula down and make sure you got textwrap selected on column H.
No access to TEXTJOIN? You can always create your own, for example:
Function TEXTJOIN(rng As Range, id As Long) As String
For Each cl In rng
If cl.Value = id Then
If TEXTJOIN = "" Then
TEXTJOIN = cl.Offset(0, 1) & ", " & cl.Offset(0, 2) & ", " & cl.Offset(0, 3) & ", " & cl.Offset(0, 4)
Else
TEXTJOIN = TEXTJOIN & Chr(10) & cl.Offset(0, 1) & ", " & cl.Offset(0, 2) & ", " & cl.Offset(0, 3) & ", " & cl.Offset(0, 4)
End If
End If
Next cl
End Function
In cell H2 you can call the UDF through =TEXTJOINS($A$2:$A$11,G2) and drag down. Again, make sure textwrapping is checked for the column.
EDIT:
As per OP's comment, this is how I got the data to show correctly:
Select column H and click textwrap + top alignment as shown in this screenshot:
Next, select all cells if result is not correct yet:
Double-click the line between columns and rows to space them to fit the data

Compute countif in column Range & combine if with count if

I have two formulas that I need to transfer to VBA.
On Excel, my formula would be =countif(A$2:A2,A2) so I transferred that using this formula but everything is returning to 1. The rows didn't become dynamic and I want only the values to be displayed.
For a = 2 To lrow
ws.Range("T" & a).Formula = "=CountIf(A$2&"":""&A2)"",""&A2)"
Next a
Next formula that I use in Excel is
=IF(COUNTIF(A:A,A2)>Q2,"Check","Ok")
I tried this formula in VBA:
For i = 2 to lrow
If Countif(ws.Range("A2:A" & lrow), "A2") > ws.Range("Q2:Q", & lrow) Then
ws.Range("T" & i).Value = "Check"
Else
ws.Range("T" & i).Value = "Ok"
End If
Next i
You could populate column T with your first formula with this line of code:
ws.Range("T2:T" & lrow).FormulaR1C1 = "=COUNTIF(R2C[-19]:RC[-19],RC[-19])"
I can't advise on your second formula unless you clarify where you want to write it...

Excel - formula link cells based on another column

I want to use a formula (or a function I'll make in VBA, I prefer a formula) to do the following:
I have text in column A, that I want to link in Column E based on similar cells in column B.
For example: cell B2,B3,B4 equals "A" and I want cell E2 to be the values in column A with a ";" between the values.
I am not sure how to do it using a formula but below VBA method will work.
Press Alt + F11 in the worksheet to open the VBA editor window
In the left pane, Right click sheet1 and Insert module
Copy paste the below method
Use the method MultipleLookupNoRept in the formula
Function MultipleLookupNoRept(Lookupvalue As String, LookupRange As Range,
ColumnNumber As Integer)
Dim i As Long
Dim Result As String
For i = 1 To LookupRange.Columns(1).Cells.Count
If LookupRange.Cells(i, 1) = Lookupvalue Then
For J = 1 To i - 1
If LookupRange.Cells(J, 1) = Lookupvalue Then
If LookupRange.Cells(J, ColumnNumber) = LookupRange.Cells(i, ColumnNumber)
Then
GoTo Skip
End If
End If
Next J
Result = Result & " " & LookupRange.Cells(i, ColumnNumber) & ";"
Skip:
End If
Next i
MultipleLookupNoRept = Left(Result, Len(Result) - 1)
End Function
You can use an array formula for this:
=TEXTJOIN(";",TRUE,IF(B:B=B2,A:A,""))
Enter the formula in the bar in cell E2 and press ctrl+shift+enter to create an array formula.

Adding freshly created formula into new module

I've just created a brand new macro. Took function down below from internet (all credits goes to trumpexcel.com), code down below
Function CONCATENATEMULTIPLE(Ref As Range, Separator As String) As String
Dim Cell As Range
Dim Result As String
For Each Cell In Ref
Result = Result & Cell.Value & Separator
Next Cell
CONCATENATEMULTIPLE = Left(Result, Len(Result) - 1)
End Function
Then I proceed to extract data from various columns and into the one (my table is 20 rows x 10 columns)
Sub conact_data()
Dim i As Integer
For i = 2 To Cells(Rows.Count, "A").End(xlUp).Row
Cells(i, "M").Value = Cells(i, "A").Value & " " & _
Cells(i, "B").Value & " / " & Cells(i, "D").Value & "; "
Next i
End Sub
Thanks to that I've got combined data from column A, B and D, so its 20 rows. All I want to do now is to concatenate data from M2:M21 using CONCATENATEMULTIPLE function therefore I try various approach (I want this huge line in P2 cell) like :
Cells(2, 16).Value = CONCATENATEMULTIPLE (M2:M21, " ")
or
Range("P2") = "CONCATENATEMULTIPLE (M2:M21, " ")"
I don't really know how to apply that
Secondly, I'd like withdraw the Cells(i, "B").Value as percentage. Can I do that in one line like Cells(i, "B").NumberFormat="0.00%".Value (which is not working for me obviously) else I need to copy column B into another column with number format and then combine the new column, properly formatted instead of column B?
Thanks in advance
Percent format: Range("B" & i).NumberFormat = "0.00%"
CONCATENATEMULTIPLE
In VBA, CHR(32) = " "
In Excel, CHAR(32) = " "
With that being said...
'Value
Range("P2").Value = CONCATENATEMULTIPLE(Range("M2:M21"), CHR(32))
'Formula
Range("P2").Formula = "=CONCATENATEMULTIPLE(M2:M21, CHAR(32))"
You should really qualify all of your ranges with a worksheet
Say your workbook has 10 sheets. When you say Range("P2"), how do we (VBE) know what sheet you mean? Objects need to be properly qualified. Sometimes this is not a huge issue, but when you are working across multiple sheets, not qualifying ranges can lead to some unexpected results.
You can qualify with a worksheet a few ways.
Directly: ThisWorkbook.Sheets("Sheet1").Range("P2").Copy
Or use a variable like so
Dim ws as Worksheet: Set ws = ThisWorkbook.Sheets("Sheet1")
ws.Range("P2").Copy
Now there is no room for ambiguity (potential errors) as to the exact location of Range("P2")
First of all, remove your ConcatenateMultiple() code, and instead use Excel worksheet function CONCAT(), which takes a range and a delimiter as parameters.
Here is how you can handle the percentage issue and supply a default for non-numeric items. I've also cleaned up the way you reference your data range.
Sub concat_data()
Dim rngRow As Range, vResult As Variant
Const DEFAULT = 0 'Can also be set to a text value, eg. "Missing"
For Each rngRow In [A2].CurrentRegion.Rows
If IsNumeric(rngRow.Cells(, 4)) Then vResult = rngRow.Cells(, 4) * 100 & "%" Else vResult = DEFAULT
Range("M" & rngRow.Row) = rngRow.Cells(, 1) & rngRow.Cells(, 2) & "/" & vResult & ";"
Next
[M2].End(xlDown).Offset(1).Formula = "=CONCAT(M2:M" & [M2].End(xlDown).Row & ",TRUE,"" "")"
End Sub
I'm not a fan of hard-coding range references, like the [A2] or Range("M"), but will leave that for another time.

Translate a worksheet formula in VBA

Can somebody help me to write this formula in excel VBA?
=IF(ISERROR(VLOOKUP(A3,Temp!$A$3:$A$595,1,FALSE)),A3,"0")
My code is getting stuck with :"syntax error"
Sub checkDuplitems()
Application.ScreenUpdating = False
Const top As Integer = 3
Dim bottom As Long
bottom = Sheets("Temp").Cells(Rows.Count, top).End(xlUp).row
With ThisWorkbook.Sheets("trash").Range("A" & top & ":A" & bottom)
.Formula = "=IF(ISERROR(VLOOKUP(A" & top & ",Temp!$B$" & top & ":$B$" & bottom & _
",1,FALSE)),A" & top & ", & '" 0" & ," '")"
.Value = .Value
.SortSpecial
End With
'Call something...
End Sub
You have a concatenation problem in the second line of the .Formula line.
To emulate the formula you have at the top of your question (which is wrong incidentally because you should be pointing to $B$3:$B$595 or something like that because your look up cell A3 should not be inside the VLOOKUP range).
Try this new .Formula line:-
.Formula = "=IF(ISERROR(VLOOKUP(A" & top & ",Temp!$B$" & top & ":$B$" & bottom & _
",1,FALSE)),A" & top & ", " & "0)"
Are you sure you want to use top as both the starting row in column A and the column to get the bottom row from the Temp worksheet? The important column on the Temp worksheet is column B (i.e. 2) not C (i.e. 3).
If you are putting formula(s) into Trash!A3:A595 that reference Trash!A3:A595 then these are circular references and cannot be resolved under normal conditions. I'll put the formulas into column Z.
If you are operating with Excel 2007 or newer then I would humbly propose this alternate that uses the worksheet's IFERROR function and does not attempt to make text out of the 0 returned value.
Const top As Integer = 3
Dim bottom As Long
bottom = Sheets("Temp").Cells(Rows.Count, "B").End(xlUp).Row '<~~change here
With ThisWorkbook.Sheets("trash")
With .Range("Z" & top, .Cells(Rows.Count, "A").End(xlUp).Offset(0, 25))
.Formula = "=IFERROR(VLOOKUP(A" & top & ", Temp!$B$" & top & ":$B$" & bottom & _
", 1, FALSE), 0)" '<~~ big change here
.Value = .Value
End With
End With
It is also curious as to why the number of rows of formulas in the Trash worksheet must be governed by the number of rows of data in the Temp worksheet. I would have thought that the number of values in column A of the Trash sheet should govern how many formulas go into the Trash worksheet.

Excel VBA code mid function

I have the following string "123 - 456789". What I am trying to do is find a way to only capture the remaining characters after the second space - "456789" - regardless the length of the string.
I have the follow set of code:
For leftLoop = 2 To leftNumberOfCells
Range("A" & iRow) = Split(Range("B" & iRow).Value, " ")
Range("B" & iRow) = Mid("B" & iRow, InStr("B" & iRow, " "), 100)
iRow = iRow + 1
Next leftLoop
The code line "Range("B" & iRow) = Mid("B" & iRow, InStr("B" & iRow, " "), 100)" is what I tried, among other ways (from searching online, but I can't seem to get it to work.
I have two questions:
Does someone know what the correct code should be? and...
Can I reference the cell where the string is located and replace it in that same cell after doing the mid function without having to temporarily put it into another cell and copy and paste it back? For example, my string "123 - 456789" is in cell B2, is there a way to code it so I can reference cell B2 and simultaneous replace the cell B2 with "456789" and not having to place it in another cell then copy and paste it back into B2. I hope you get what i'm asking.
Thanks for you help!
This addresses part 2.
Sub strings()
Dim replace As String
Dim bCell As Range
For leftLoop = 2 To leftNumberOfCells
Set bCell = Range("B" & iRow)
replace = Mid(bCell, InStr(bCell, "-") + 2, 100)
Range("B" & iRow) = replace
iRow = iRow + 1
Next leftLoop
End Sub
Try this:
result = Split(TextToSplit, " ", 3)(2)
Split(TextToSplit, " ", 3) will split the text on spaces, returning a zero-based array. The last argument 3 limits the splitting to 3 portions: before the first space, between the first and second space, and everything else. The (2) at the end of the statement returns the last element of the array.
Hope that helps
