I'm setting up an excel file for the operators. They will scan the Barcode from the product and it will populate in one of the column of the excel sheet.
I have tried using LOOKUP formula in excel but it doesn't seem to be working right.
COL A : Data from Database
COL B : Data from Scanner
COL C: Row number
Find the value of Column B in Col A and populate the Row no. in Column C.
=LOOKUP(B5,A:A,ROW(A:A))
I have used this formula in every cell of the column C.
The row number don't populate accurately.
=MATCH(B5,A:A,0) should give you the rownumber. And if you wish to obtain the cell's address: =ADDRESS(MATCH(B5,A:A,0),1,4,1)
If you are using combined cells then you definiately want to use absolute ranges like =MATCH(B5,$A$5:$A$10,0)
Search B column in A column and get row back. You could use:
Note:
Do not forget to use IFNA in case of B does not included in A.
In my opinion there is no need to target whole range.
=IFNA(MATCH(B1,$A$1:$A$6,0)+ROW($A$1:$A$6)-1,"")

I am looking to find a way to fill a whole column with the same output, "Yes", based on the number of cells in the adjacent column.
For example, if there's data in A2:A10, I would like B2:B10 to be filled with "Yes". If more data is added to column A, I'd like column B to automatically update / spill the "Yes" into additional rows within B based on the number of entries added to column A.
I'm aware that I can do an =IF(ISBLANK()) statement for each row, but I am trying to reduce the number of formulas. I'd like to try and do this with a single formula within the top row of column B that spills down.
The value in column A can change, I'm only trying to check the number of non-blank values.
I'm using Excel / Office 365.
This is a generic solution for column A containing mixed datatypes:
=REPT("Yes",A2:INDEX(A:A,MAX(IFNA(MATCH(IF({0;1},"Ω",77^77),A:A),0)))<>"")
I have found VLOOKUP and it does not seem to match all of the criteria I need to perform.
The following is what has stopped me at this time. I would appreciate any assistance.
in excel, I need to match a value from a specific cell in spreadsheet A, column B, with a range of values in spreadsheet B, column C. Then in the row that the value in spreadsheet B is found, I need to obtain the value for the cell in column P and copy it into spreadsheet A column N.
Thank you,
While VLOOKUP has its uses I would always recommend using the INDEX function instead as you are not limited by using the leftmost column.
I think the type of formula you are looking for is (to be put in column N of spreadsheet A):
=INDEX('[Spreadsheet B]Sheet1'!P:P,MATCH(B1,'[Spreadsheet B]Sheet1'!C:C,0))
This would match the specific cell of B1 in Spreadsheet A with a value in column C in Spreadsheet B and then give provide the value in column P of the corresponding row. Obviously you should change out 'Spreadsheet B' with the name of your workbook and 'Sheet1' for the name of the worksheet in Spreadsheet B.
I'm a very new in Excel 2010! Well, I have a book with 3 column (A,B,C). A contains Id(1,2,3...100), B contains the reference numbers (any unique integer numbers) and C - with empty cells. So, I want to get in C column something like that (http://localhost/img/.jpg) I meant I want to get an autocomplete text column C with the data from column B in the 100 cells range
Could you please explain how I can do that?
P.S. I start the range count from a second cell because first cell contains a text-header data.
This should join everything perfectly.
=C2&B2&".jpg"
Copy the formula down the column and it will auto-fill for the rest.
Would really appreciate some help. Pretty basic problem. In column A I have SSN's, Column B I also have SSN's and in column C I have dates associated with the SSN's in Column B. The problem the 2 different SSN's columns don't match and I need them too. Problem 2: The dates in column C need to stay associated with the same socials in column b.
This is fairly simple.
Either in a new sheet or in separate columns from your original data, create create a column that represents the same column as A or the original SSN's, this can easily be done with a simple reference formula =A1 and autofilled down. You can do the same for the second column that is a copy of the first SSN.
For the third column just use a simple INDEXand MATCHformula like this:
=INDEX(C:C,MATCH(E1,B:B,0))
This formula I have the new data in Columns E-G with this formula in column G.
What this formula is doing is looking for the value of E1 within column B (looking for the value of the first SSN within the span of the column B). It will then grab the date value from column C associated with the found value in B. This will not work if multiple of the same SSN's are found within column B.
Note: You have to set the formatting of the formula cell as a Date
I have a spreadsheet with multiple columns with a few thousand rows and I would like to find the cells that are common across all columns. Is there a function that I can use to check if a cell value exists in a set of cells/column?
To find out if a value exist in all columns but in any row you can put this equation in the next open column and drag down:
=AND(MATCH(A1,B:B,0),MATCH(A1,C:C,0))
This assumes you have data in column A, B & C and the equation is in column D. now you can sort on column D for unique values.
Depending on your data type you might get an error. If that is the case try this:
=AND(IFERROR(MATCH(A1,B:B,0),FALSE),IFERROR(MATCH(A1,C:C,0),FALSE))
