Excel IF A1 exist in column B, then C = D - excel

I have an issue.
In excel I need If value from A column exit in column B, then I need to take value from C from same row as B and put it same row as A. I can do it manually but it is a lot of work for me. Maybe someone have formula, because what I was able to find it was only return true or false. Maybe someone know other tool to do it.

In D1 enter:
=VLOOKUP(A1,B:C,2,FALSE)
An error message will appear in D1 if the value can't be found. To avoid the error message use:
=IFERROR(VLOOKUP(A1,B:C,2,FALSE),"")
instead.

Picking a Option from a cell by a value in ms excel

i'm looking for a formula where i can copy text from A to D option according to the option text in Ans column. see the attachment for more information.
if the Ans column has value B than value from option B should print in AnsText Column and so on.
Try any of following formulas.
=INDEX(B4:E4,MATCH(F4,B3:E3,0))
=XLOOKUP(F4,B3:E3,B4:E4)
=FILTER(B4:E4,B3:E3=F4)
=HLOOKUP(F4,B3:E4,2,FALSE)
If A, B, C and D are always going to be in alphabetical order, then the lookup function will work best.
=LOOKUP(E2,A1:D1,A2:D2)
If not, the the HLOOKUP will need to be used
=HLOOKUP(E2,A1:D2,2,FALSE)

Excel Vlookup Formula Troubleshooting

I'm goofing a bit on the syntax here.
But in most basic terms, if sheet 'CT', column B has a corresponding lookup value in column B of sheet 'CT WKSHT' AND column K of 'CT WKSHT' is N/A (this cell is a formula that will not always have a value) then I want to populate a 1 else a 0.
The formula below is sort of conceptually what I'm trying to do, but I'm not doing this right clearly.
Please help if you can, as I get stuck when I think about getting vlookups to have additional conditions on them.
=IFERROR(VLOOKUP(CT!B4,'CT WKSHT'!B8:K8,10,FALSE),1,"")
Why are you even working with VLookup()? If I read your formula, it reads like:
Look for a value in column B and if you find it, return the value of column K.
If the lookup did not work, then show 1
If the lookup did work, then show and empty string
Why do you want to return value of column K if you overwrite it with an empty string anyway?
I would advise you the following formula:
=IFERROR(VLOOKUP(CT!B4,'CT WKSHT'!B8:K8,10,FALSE),1)
Is this better?
Also, you are looking for that value just on row 8, why not for the whole range:
=IFERROR(VLOOKUP(CT!B4,'CT WKSHT'!B:K,10,FALSE),1
This should do it. It combines a normal IF statement with ISERROR. ISERROR simply returns True or False depending on the result of the VLOOKUP.
=IF(ISERROR(VLOOKUP(DCTM!B4,'DCTM WKSHT'!B:K,10,FALSE)),1,0)

Excel find first blank cell

I am trying to find a value in a excel column which corresponds with the first empty value from another column and down one. So if D is the empty row then I want G
For example
A B C
D E
G H I
J K L
Would print G since the third column is where we are searching for the first null which is at line 2.
I tried =MIN(IF(A1:A4="", ROW(A1:C4))) which gets the right row but when I enter it in an index function it just gets me A if there is a null in the column.
I Have also tried =IFERROR(INDEX(A1:A4,1/MAX(INDEX((LEN(A1:D4)=0)/ROW(A1:D4),))),"No null")
Which worked but didn't work if you have multiple empty cells in a column
Based on the clarification that the OP wants the subsequent row returned (not the one with the empty cell), another way to derive what QHarr showed but without the use of an array formula would be something like this:
=INDIRECT("A"&INDEX(MAX((C1:C4="")*ROW(C1:C4))+1,1))
or
=INDEX(A1:A4,INDEX(MAX((C1:C4="")*ROW(C1:C4))+1,1))
If you don't know the last row, you could replace the ranges with a formula that determines the last row of data using an indirect cell reference like this:
=INDIRECT("A"&INDEX(MAX((INDIRECT("C1:C"&INDEX(MAX((A:A<>"")*(ROW(A:A))),1))="")*ROW(INDIRECT("C1:C"&INDEX(MAX((A:A<>"")*(ROW(A:A))),1))))+1,1))
or
=INDEX(INDIRECT("A1:A"&INDEX(MAX((A:A<>"")*(ROW(A:A))),1)),INDEX(MAX((INDIRECT("C1:C"&INDEX(MAX((A:A<>"")*(ROW(A:A))),1))="")*ROW(INDIRECT("C1:C"&INDEX(MAX((A:A<>"")*(ROW(A:A))),1))))+1,1))
I hope this helps.
I am still not sure that we are answering the correct question.
My understanding is that =MIN(IF(A1:A4="", ROW(A1:C4))) which you indicate returns the correct row doesn't do anything like what I thought you were asking for. I am not sure that I understand what you were trying to achieve.
Likewise, when I use:
=IFERROR(INDEX(A1:A4,1/MAX(INDEX((LEN(A1:D4)=0)/ROW(A1:D4),))),"No null")
I get "A"
Are you looking for the first column of the row after the row with a blank in the third column or are you looking for the first column of a row with any empty cell (including the first one) or something else?
I would do the following array formula:
=INDEX(A1:A4,MIN(IF(C1:C4="",ROW(C1:C4)))+1)
Entered with Ctrl + Shift + Enter

Excel help - Rearranging Columns

So I need some help with excel.
What I have is in Black and what I need is in Red.
I have been able to rearrange column B to match column A and have it output in E but I need it to take the values in column C and D with it. This is what I have been using in column E:
=IF(ISNA(VLOOKUP(A1,$B:$B,1,FALSE)), "Missing", A1)
Can someone please help me figure out how to bring columns C and D with column B and populate them in F and G.
Any help is much appreciated! Thanks!!
You were pretty close - Since this is a dynamic range, I would suggest using the OFFSET() function from a specific location in your spreadsheet.
So, here's the formula you could paste into cell E1 and drag across / down to get the result you want:
=IFERROR(OFFSET($A$1,MATCH($A1,$B:$B,0)-1,COLUMN(A1)),"Missing")
Basically, what you're saying is:
If I get an error in matching the value I want, print Missing:
=IFERROR(MATCH($A1,$B:$B,0),"Missing")
Move a set number of rows from cell A1 based on where the numbers match with column A:
OFFSET($A$1,MATCH($A1,$B:$B,0)-1 ...
As I drag to the right, keep referencing the next column:
OFFSET($A$1,..., column(A1))
Hope that helps explain it.

EXCEL How do I ignore a cell if a cell has a value

I have a row that will have weekly values entered. Column B has the initial value, and E has the calculation; as I add values to C, D and so on, I want the calculation to skip the previous columns value when the next column gets a value.
B1-C1=E1 BUT when a value is added to D1, E1 would update to B1-D1=E1
Sorry for the horrible description. This is probably answered somewhere on this site but I am not sure what terms to search.
Many thanks!
you can use an if statement. I am not 100% sure of your problem but something like this might be helpful.
if(A1, A1, 0)
So for your example provided.
=B1-if(D1, D1, C1)
This says if there is a value in D1 use D1 else use C1. This works in this example, because if
D1 is empty or 0 you will use the other cell. This may change for any given problem.
Use this if function in E1:
=IF(D1>0,B1-D1,IF(C1>0,B1-C1,B1))
Then enter a value in B1, then C1 then D1 to see the results.
According to your question, you only have room for two entries after the default B1 value. This statement will handle that.
If you need more fields, nest more if functions. But if's can only be nested 7 deep, so you can only have an initial value in B1 and 7 more cells, C1 to I1 with your formula in J1
If you actual data is as simple as your sample data you could just use:
=IF(LEN(D2)>0, B2-D2,B2-C2)
You could also use:
=IF(ISBLANK(D2), B2-C2, B2-D2)
if you prefer but Len is a little shorter and I believe the ISBLANK() function has flaws, If you have a formula in D2 that has a calculation and you set the result to "" then it will pick up as false. It depends on your needs.
I would do the following.
In E1 paste the following:
=A1-INDEX(B1:D1,1,COUNT(B1:D1))
The count formula will tell how many values are present in the range of B:D column. This will be used to catch the last column with an index formula which will be deducted form A1.
One thing is very important! The values from A to D has to be written in sequence, if one column is missing than the calculation will be false.
Hope I could help!
