Here's an example table:
'Sheet one'
Column A: Name of Fruits
Column B: Quantity Ordered
Column C: Price
'Sheet two'
Column A: Name of Fruits
Column B: Quantity Ordered
How do I return the price value that matches from Sheet1 Column C to Sheet2 Column C (new column)?
I am following this formula but it doesn't provide me the correct matching price:
=INDEX('Sheet one'!B:B, MATCH('Sheet two'!C2, A:A,0))
Your lookup key consists of two columns. You have two options:
create a helper column where you concatenate the two column values, then use that for the lookup
dynamically combine the lookup value and lookup columns. This will be slow if you use whole columns, so keep it to only the rows with data.
=index(Sheet1!C1:C10,match(Sheet2!A1&Sheet2!B1,index(Sheet1!A1:A10&Sheet1!B1:B10,0),0))
If I'm reading your formula correctly, it looks like your index is returning Column B, which is quantity ordered.
=INDEX(*column to return*)MATCH(*value to check*, *column to search for value*, *search type*))
You can see 6 different possibilities HERE (and below) depending on what you're trying to do. Copy the sheet to make edits.
Standard
Index/Match:=INDEX(Sheet1!$C$2:$C,MATCH(A3,Sheet1!$A$2:$A,FALSE))
Google Sheets Query (1 Column Return/1 Match Key):
=QUERY(Sheet1!$A$2:$D,"Select C where A='"&D3&"'",0)
Index/Match/Multiply:=INDEX(Sheet1!$C$2:$C,MATCH(A3,Sheet1!$A$2:$A,FALSE))*H3
Google Sheets Query (2 Column Return/1 Match Key): =QUERY(Sheet1!$A$2:$D,"Select B, C where A='"&K3&"'",0)
Index/Match with Multiple Match Keys:
=ARRAYFORMULA(INDEX(Sheet1!$C$2:$C,MATCH(1,(O3=Sheet1!$A$2:$A)*(P3=Sheet1!$B$2:$B),0)))
See HERE for use with Excel.
Google Sheets Query (1 Column Return/2 Match Keys): =QUERY(Sheet1!$A$2:$D,"Select C where A='"&S3&"' and B like '"&T3&"' ",0)

I have simple problem, but I've not be able to get an answer from searching. I require a column to calculate the number of the nth occurrence of a value. It's best explained in this picture
I require a method to calculate column B.
I'd be very grateful for any help.
Are you looking to merely provide a count of the distinct entries of column A in column B? Or merely add a formula to come up with the table in your link?
If the latter, then the formula to write in cell B2 is:
=COUNTIF(A$2:A2,A2)
then copy/paste it down column B. Note - if your data is both a Date and Time, but the cell is formatted to only display a date, you may not get the results you want. You'd need to interject a new column with a "floor" calculation to round the date/time value to a date (Excel date times are decimal, with integer part dictating the date, and remaining 0.0 -> 1.0 dictating the time of day)
If you just want to derive a table of the counts of distinct entries in column A, then a pivot table will do this for you - simple add a pivot table to cover the data in column A, then select column A into the rows category, and then also drag it into the values category, ensuring the field is set to "Count of". You should then have a table with the distinct entries in your data set in one column, and the count of their occurrences in the other column.
You can use the COUNTIF worksheet function, with a relative address.
Eg. In cell B2, enter this formula:
=COUNTIF(A$2:A2,A2)
And then fill-down.
Use the following formula to generate the required series:
=COUNTIF($A$1:A1,A1) and strech(copy) it in all the cells
This will generate result like this:
A 1 COUNTIF($A$1:A1,A1)
A 2 COUNTIF($A$1:A2,A2)
C 1 COUNTIF($A$1:A3,A3)
C 2 COUNTIF($A$1:A4,A4)
B 1 COUNTIF($A$1:A5,A5)
B 2 COUNTIF($A$1:A6,A6)
A 3 COUNTIF($A$1:A7,A7)
C 3 COUNTIF($A$1:A8,A8)
D 1 COUNTIF($A$1:A9,A9)
D 2 COUNTIF($A$1:A10,A10)
D 3 COUNTIF($A$1:A11,A11)
D 4 COUNTIF($A$1:A12,A12)
I have an Excel file with (for example) 4 columns and I want to search column A for a value mentioned in column C and show in column D all the results that were found in column B separated by a ; and a space.
I got this partly working with the following formula:
=IF(C3<>"";TEXTJOIN("; ";TRUE;IF(($A$2:$A$6=$C2);$B$2:$B$6;""));"")
The thing is, this formula doesn't show any results when the search criteria is not 100% matching.
The following doesn't work:
=IF(C2<>"";TEXTJOIN("; ";TRUE;IF(($A$2:$A$6=("*"&$C2));$B$2:$B$6;""));"")
Perhaps:
=IF(C2<>"";TEXTJOIN("; ";TRUE;IF(ISNUMBER(SEARCH($C2;$A$2:$A$6));$B$2:$B$6;""));"")

I have two Tables, Table 1 Column A is a rolling date column. Table 2 consists of four columns of differing "Trigger Dates". Table 2, Column 1 contains an Annual trigger, ie occurs once a year. Table 2 Column 2 contains Bi-Annual Triggers, and occurs twice yearly. Table 2 Column 3 contains Monthly Triggers, "12 dates" and Table 2 Column 4 contains Weekly Triggers, "52 dates".
Ok, so what I'm looking for is to a formula that will return the date trigger, where Table 1 Column 1 matches a condition (Annually, Bi-Annually, Monthly, Weekly) selected in a cell "we'll say F1, outside of any ranges that may be created.
Example: If Table 1 Col 2 = "01/02/2013" and I select "Weekly" in F1, the formula will look in the weekly Column in Table 2 to determine if "01/02/2013" exists.
I've allocated a named range to each column in Table 2
I've allocated a named range to the condition in F1 which is a drop down list
Any suggestions?
You might try:
=IFERROR(VLOOKUP(B2,INDIRECT(CHAR(72+MATCH(F$1,$I$1:$L$1,0))&":"&CHAR(72+MATCH(F$1,$I$1:$L$1,0))),1,0),"")
Ok, so supposing your Range Name is in F1, your formula to find the match would look as follows:
=If(IsError(Match(LookupVal,Indirect(F1),0)),"No Match", "Match")
...Something along those lines
Hope this helps point you in the right direction.
INDIRECT and VLOOKUP will be your friends here.
I constructed Table2 just as you had described, with the Annual,Bi-annual,Monthly,Weekly labels for the columns in the table - this will avoid having to keep named ranges up to date, as it's looking directly at the table in the formula
For the function, I then used VLOOKUP to find the date, in the column referenced by F1.
Column Reference: INDIRECT("Table2["&$F$1&"]")
Find Value: VLOOKUP([#Col2],INDIRECT("Table2["&$F$1&"]"),1,FALSE) (looking at column 1 in the return values, as I don't really care what value is returned.
This will return the date if found, and an error if not. I can then wrap the result in the IF(ISERROR( so I can return Yes or No if the date is found.
This produces the entire formula of
=IF(ISERROR(VLOOKUP([#Col2],INDIRECT("Table2["&$F$1&"]"),1,FALSE)),"No","Yes")
for the next column in Table1, so that when I change the value in F1, it will look for that column name in Table2, and let me know if it is found.
I have two sheets, Sheet1 and Sheet2. Sheet1 has a list of company names in column A, Revenue in column B and a unique number identifier in column D (also seen as "unique #forAAA in Sheet2). In Sheet2, I pulled a list from Hoovers, and the format comes up something like below (so this format should not be changed).
Column A B C D
Company Name Place Type of Comp Revenue
1 AAA US HQ 10.0 M
2 unique #forAAA
3 BBB India Branch 5.0 M
4 unique #forBBB
What I'd like to do is match the unique number for each company between Sheet1 and Sheet2 and then put the revenue # from Sheet2 into column B of Sheet1 which corresponds to the correct #. I'm pretty lost here, so any help or ideas would be great. Thanks for your help!
Because the unique identifier is on a different row than the result to be returned, you can use a variation using INDEX and MATCH:
=INDEX(Sheet2!D:D, MATCH(D2, Sheet2!A:A, 0)-1)
INDEX will return the value within range Sheet2!D:D on row MATCH(D2, Sheet2!A:A, 0)-1.
MATCH(D2, Sheet2!A:A, 0) will give you the row number where the unique ID is found, then -1 to get the row number of the revenue amount.
EDIT: As per comment, to remove the M, you can use this:
=TRIM(SUBSTITUTE(INDEX(Sheet2!D:D, MATCH(D2, Sheet2!A:A, 0)-1),"M",""))
I would put the unique value in a column inserted before A (would be the new column A) instead of putting it below each row. Then, in the other sheet I'd put the VLOOKUP like this:
=VLOOKUP(D2,Sheet2!A:E,5,0)
That should return the value in column E (column D before the column insertion, i.e. revenue for the unique company identifier).
Note that the third argument in the vlookup function is the number of the column you want to be retrieved, so the range defined in the second argument (Sheet2!A:E) should contain that column.
