How to VLOOKUP an Excel Table in another Excel sheet - excel

I am trying to VLOOKUP a value in an Excel Table and get the value from another Excel Table in another sheet.
the first table is called PRODUCTS and the second one is called PRODUCT DETAILS
In PRODUCTS I have:
GTIN-13 | SKU | NAME | PRICE
In PRODUCT DETAILS I have:
GTIN-13 | SKU | NAME | GW | NW
From PRODUCT DETAILS I am trying to Vlookup SKU from PRODUCTS and get the GTIN-13 value into PRODUCT DETAILS
GTIN-13 (PRODUCT DETAILS): =VLOOKUP([#SKU],PRODUCTS,1,)
But formula return #N/A.
I can't understand where I am mistaken

In PRODUCTS table, move SKU column to the leftmost of the table. So column order will be as below:
SKU | GTIN-13 | NAME | PRICE
In PRODUCT DETAILS table, use the below formula:
=VLOOKUP([#SKU],PRODUCTS,2,FALSE)
In this VLOOKUP formula, the number 2 indicates that you are trying to fetch the value from 2nd column (i.e. GTIN-13 is the 2nd col in PRODUCTS) when there is a match on SKU in the first column (VLOOKUP always tries to match values in the first column of your search range) in PRODUCTS.
Hope that helps!

VLOOKUP only works when the common column in both the table is on the left side of the desired values column.
You can just change the SKU column position to the left of GTIN-13 column and your formula will work fine.
Now if you don't want to tamper with the data tables and want more powerful lookup function, then you can use INDEX & MATCH functions.
INDEX takes 3 values - INDEX(Table, Row, Column)
MATCH takes 3 values - MATCH(Cell, Column, [-1, 0, 1]) ---- Here 0 is used to find the exact match
Now if you combine the both functions you can replace the Row of INDEX with the MATCH function.
It will be like this - INDEX(Table, MATCH(Cell, Column, 0), Column)
My formula in the sheet is INDEX(I:J, MATCH(D2, J:J, 0), 1)
Here I have used 1 as the Column of INDEX because I wanted the values of GTIN-13.

Loop through all matched values in EXCEL

I have 2 tables, A and B
table B has columns, department and name
And table A has several fields, in particular the names of the employers that work for the Sales Department.
I need to create a new column in table A that checks if a name has been added in table B. The logic is if(name is matched to the names column of table B and the department= sales, then put 'OK', if not put 'NO'). The match function is fine, I am having trouble checking the value of the cell to the left of the column name i table B to check the department associated with the name. Can anyone help me? The tables are:
Table A
Name | New Column
Table B
Department | Name
I have come up with a way of using INDEX(MATCH()) to get the value of the cell next to the matched one. The issue is that a name for example can be repeated many times thoguh out table B. I need excel to look through all the matched names and check the value of the cell to the left until the value of the cell to the left = "Sales"
Table A
Name | New Column
New Column Formula
=If(iserror(Vlookup(Table A Name&"Sales",Table B DepAndName,1,0)),"No","Ok")
Table B
Department | Name | DepAndName
DepAndName Formula
=Name&Department

Microsoft Excel: Using Lookup with another sheet

At work I have a list of products with a unique product code and the manufacturers name.
In a separate document I have a list of products we have in the shop floor, as well as our custom name for that product.
I want to populate the manufacturers spreadsheet with our product name by performing some form of lookup.
I've merged the two Excel spreadsheets to that I have one document, 2 sheets.
Product code format is ABC1234.
ManSheet
ID | Manufacturer Name | Our Name
ABC1234 | Jolly | Jilly
OurSheet
ID | Our Name
ABC1234 | **=VLOOKUP(A1,'ManSheet'!A:A,2,FALSE)**
Could someone please help me with the formula.
VLOOKUP
First things first, you put the VLOOKUP on the sheet you wish to bring back the data to.
VLOOKUP syntax:
=VLOOKUP(Cell you wish to search,
range of cells you wish want to check,
Column on range with the value that you want to return,
Exact/Approximate match)
So on your "ManSheet" add another column:
ID | Manufacturer Name | Our Name | LookedUp Column
ABC1234 | Jolly | Jilly | =VLOOKUP(A2, Sheet2!A:B, 1, FALSE)
So your lookup should be something along the lines of this, you can then drag this cell down to populate the rows below and do a mass vlookup:
=VLOOKUP(A4, ManSheet!A:B, 2, FALSE)

Excel: Search within column and then search within the respective row

I have a table, let's call it Table 1, with a column identifier, ID, and for each ID (i.e. row) there are various respective dates.
In another sheet, there is a monthly calendar but also with a column having the ID.
I would like to have a function that would first read through the first column to determine which is the proper row from Table 1. After doing this it would check whether in this month there is any corresponding date from Table 1 for this particular ID (i.e. row).
Your help is much appreciated.
For this you can use the index,match,match way.
If you haven't used it yet,I will shortly explain.
The index function works as follows:
=index(A1:E10, 2, 5)
'Returns the value in the second row and the fifth column of the range "A1:E10" so the value of "E2"
The match function works as follows:
=match("Hello",A1:E1, 0)
'returns the index at which it found the value "Hello" e.g C1 has the value "Hello" it will return 3. The third paramter "0" says you want an EXACT match
Lets say your table is in range A1:D10 first row is header and first column IDS.
ID | Value1 | Value2 | Value 3
1 | ....
2 | ....
..
Now you want to find the entry at "Value1" with ID = 3
=index(A1:D10, match("Value1",B1:D1, 0), match(3, A1:A10, 0))

Need assistance with Excel 2010 filtered cells query

I am trying to create a summary sheet that details the amount of a certain product number found in a separate tab. The inventory tab has around 50k records that are filtered by certain manager names.
I need to search by the first four numbers on the inventory tab to match column A on the summary sheet.
Example: The summary sheet may list the model type as 1234, but the inventory sheet lists it as 123463AW3234.
| Model | Codename | Marketing | Quantity |
|-------|----------|-----------|----------|
| 1234  | CN 1     | MN 1    | 1        |
| 1234  | CN 1     | MN 1      | 12       |
| 1234  | CN 1     | MN 1      | 13       |
I would add a formula into column D cells (quantity) that takes the text from cells within column A (model type) searches that through the inventory tab, and lists the quantity of that model type.
This is the formula I have so far, but it detects all cells with 1234 anywhere in the test. I need to edit it where it will only search for the first four numbers taken from column A.
=SUMPRODUCT(SUBTOTAL(103,OFFSET('Development-Asset list'!G2:G33080,ROW('Development-Asset list'!G2:G33080)-MIN(ROW('Development-Asset list'!G2:G33080)),,1)),ISNUMBER(SEARCH(B5,'Development-Asset list'!G2:G33080))+0)
Column G is a seperate tab and contains the full 10 digit product number. I want to pull the data from the model cell (A1) and use it to count the number of products in the sep tab G row.
These rows are filtered which is why I am using SUMPRODUCT. So column G has product numbers like 1234abcde and I want to pull data from A1 (1234) and search column G for matches, but only the first four characters.
Any help would be appreciated!
How about:
=SumIfS(ColumnToSum, ColumnToSearch, Left(A2,4))
Check out the Sumifs function that allows you to set multiple search criteria. Notice that the item I searched for in the third argument is the left 4 characters of the search cell.
how about a simple solution like this:
=SUMIF($G$2:$G$999;A2&"*";$H$2:$H$999)
it sums up the data in column H, if G starts with the four digits of A.

Excel: Create Custom Sheet 2 Based on Data in Sheet 1

I have two sheets in a spreadsheet. Each sheet has a first column with common values (however they are not sorted the same and they are not all there in each sheet).
What I'm trying to do, if possible, is put a formula in sheet 2, where, if column 1 is a match for sheet 1, copies selective data from certain columns in that same row in sheet 1, to certain columns in sheet 2.
Example:
Sheet 1 has a heading setup and sample data row like this:
Title | Day of Week | First | Last
Supervisor | Wednesday | Mike | Jones
Sheet 2 has a heading setup and sample data row like this:
Title | Surname | Weekday
Supervisor | (empty cell) | (empty cell)
After running the mystery formula I'm looking for, placed in the 2 empty cells above, sheet 2 should match on the Supervisor key in sheet 1 and copy in data I have specified into each column, such as:
Title | Surname | Weekday
Supervisor | Jones | Wednesday
(In this case I have told it to map the "day of week" column to weekday, and map the "last" column to "surname").
I hope this is easy/possible??? Help???
VBA is not necessary. You can use a simple VLOOKUP:
=VLOOKUP(cell to look-up,
range where you want to look up the values (first column *must* contain the keys to look-up) including all columns that you want to retrieve,
the position of the column to be retrieved relative to the first column specified in argument 2,
0 (specifies you want an exact match))
For example:
=VLOOKUP(A1, Sheet1!$A$1:$D$150, 2, 0) ' Retrieves the 2nd column matching criteria in A1
Please notice, however, that you need your keys to be unique. Matching information based on the title seems a bit odd since it is likely there will be more than one person assigned to a certain role. For example, there may be more than 1 supervisor.
Use INDEX and MATCH (better than VLOOKUP).
I suggest renaming your headers so they match on both sheet.
Sheet 1 should be :
Title | Weekday | First Name | Surname
In sheet 2, cell B2 type in
=INDEX(Sheet1!$A:$D,match($A2,Sheet1!$A:$A,0),match(B$2,Sheet1!$1:$1,0))
You can drag and drop it in column C as well, it will work since you are using two MATCH functions with the cells properly anchored.
