Currently trying to make a formula that will automatically match a model number from one column and sheet, find it in another sheet and pull the second number from said row and sheet back into the others price field. So far I can get it to match find the model in the 2nd sheet and even get the price.. but it keeps coming back with an error after the formula inside of the MATCH tag is complete.
The first sheet with the model number on the left, the price on the right.
The Second sheets layout
And last where it says its erroring out at
My Formula
=INDEX(A:A,MATCH(TRUE,EXACT(A3,New!A:A)*New!C:C,),4,)
As a side note: I'm extremely new to Excel formulas so this might look sloppy and i could be doing it bad. Just trying to make my life easier with these formulas. Any help is appreciated, even if its just leading me in the right direction. Thank you!
use
=INDEX(New!C:C,MATCH(A3,New!A:A,1))
Or VLOOKUP:
=VLOOKUP(A3,New!A:C,3,FALSE)

So honestly I feel really dumb here. I have a very large file that has a lot of blank values where there should have populated a name, and I wanted to use a formula to fill those in. The data that I have is what appears in Columns A and B: A bunch of customer names and corresponding transaction codes (that repeat several times over), but blank spaces in a lot of places where the customer name should be. My attempt to fix this was to try filtering the data to get rid of the blank spaces, and use a VLOOKUP formula off that new table. Any ideas on what I'm doing wrong here? I don't care if it's a VLOOKUP, I just know there's an easier way to fix this that I'm not seeing, but none of the posts I've found fixed my issue...Thanks for any help you can give. Snapshot of Excel Table
Vlookup only performs matching left-to-right: the matching column has to be the first column of the range(D2:D13).
If you have Excel 365, you can use Xlookup:
=XLOOKUP(B7,E$2:E$13,D$2:D$13,,0)
or if not, you can use Index/Match:
=INDEX(D$2:D$13,MATCH(B8,E$2:E$13,0))
It might be more convenient to test for blank cells in column A and fill them in using a separate column if so, eg in C2:
=IF(A2="",XLOOKUP(B2,E$2:E$13,D$2:D$13,,0),A2)
I'm fairly new to excel but have been learning lots. Please go easy on me.
Have 30,000 pieces of data, and constantly filtering this data set. As such, all my formulas constantly need to be updated to the new range (for example, a filter may change my range from B7000:B9000 from B1:B30000). I was able to make it so I can retrieve the row numbers for the first and last visible column.
I was hoping to be able to reference this within my cells to expand my range. What I tried (just as an example),
=INDEX(Helper!D3:Helper!E3),MATCH... (rest of the formula is correct)
In the Helper Spreadsheets for D3 I have
=Concatenate("'Sheet 1'!U"&D2)
Where, D2 is the formula I have used to grab my first visible row. In this case my D2 displays 7000
Is this doable or am I totally approaching this wrong? I've seemed to hit a brick wall and I can't figure out how to get this to work. Thanks again.
EDIT:
I am trying to use index and match on a range of cells to populate a fairly large table. Problem is range keeps changing every time I filter data. So I have 30 iterations of this data I need to get through in an already fairly complex algorithm i'm running. I was hoping to save a few steps by having my formulas auto expand depending on the filter, which would save me lots of headache as right now I have to go through and edit each formula by hand to the range the filter sets.
I thought I had it figured out by getting a way to grab the 1st and last visible column, however now I can't enter those into a reference as a formula for example as in the case above.
There are two sheets (sheet1 & sheet2) in my Excel file, it's like daily work routine (entry date, pickup date, dispatch date). Some details will change as per the work flow and even new entries will appear.
I just need to compare both files if a change occurred in one cell it must have to show entire row of sheet1 (I can't specify exact headline for that all details are too precious and it has more than 100 headlines).
So if there is any formula for that please let me know like
IF+VLOOKUP
please correct below given formula
=If(RECHERCHEV(A2,sheet1!A8:FM264,1,FAUX)=(RECHERCHEV(A2,sheet2!A8:FM257,1,FAUX);"";RECHERCHEV(A2,sheet1!A8:FM264,1,FAUX))
It's the French version.
Try this array formula in cell A1 of sheet3 and drag across and down.
=IF(AND(EXACT(Sheet1!1:1,Sheet2!1:1)),"",Sheet1!A1)
Not really sure what you're looking to do here, and I don't speak french, but it looks like you have an extra parenthesis before your 2nd RECHERCHEV function.
Try this :
=If(RECHERCHEV(A2,sheet1!A8:FM264,1,FAUX)=RECHERCHEV(A2,sheet2!A8:FM257,1,FAUX);"";RECHERCHEV(A2,sheet1!A8:FM264,1,FAUX))
Though I'm not sure why the IF function uses semi-colons, but the RECHERCHEV uses commas, so maybe this:
=If(RECHERCHEV(A2,sheet1!A8:FM264,1,FAUX)=RECHERCHEV(A2,sheet2!A8:FM257,1,FAUX),"",RECHERCHEV(A2,sheet1!A8:FM264,1,FAUX))
Also it seems you want the entire row to update, so I am not sure how this vlookup would work since the arrays start in different rows than the lookup value.
I'm making a basic inventory list for my place of work and want to make it easier for future inputs and changes. So far I have inputted all of the model numbers for our inventory, and I was wondering how I could assign a price to the model number, so that it automatically fills it into the cell two cells right. I'm also working with around 50 model numbers, so it would be a lengthy function.
Example:
B E
778740 125.99
778739 120.99
778740
Is there a way that the second "778740" could be automatically filled in? I'm fairly new to excel and I can't find this problem, although I know it is very simple and exists. Even if some one could link me it that would be very much appreciated. Thank you!
Suppose your headers are in row 1, model numbers in column A and prices in column B. You could use the following formula in cell B3 and drag it on down as far as you need. Then what you fill in in column A matches something above, the cell next to it will automatically populate. And otherwise it stays blank, letting you know it is on you to fill it in (though once you do, the formula will no longer be there, so if you later fill in a match above, the magic is gone).
=iferror(indirect("B" & (1+match(A3,A$2:A2,0))),"")
The match function returns an error if nothing is found, and ifError will handle that by leaving your cell blank. If a match is found, we get the value from the corresponding row in column B.
First time question and I hope it's easier than I'm making this.
Can I use a variable inside a COUNTIF formula?
Currently my formula is:
=COUNTIF($C$2:$C$415,R6)
I would like to have $415 as my variable. I have tried something along the lines of:
D1=415=COUNTIF($C$2:$C$(D1),R6) ..
but obviously get a error.
The reason I need this is column C will constantly be incrementing as I add more rows.
Instead of going into each of my formulas and updated 415 to 416, 417 etc, I would like to just define a Cell that can be my variable, or total rows.
Currently Column C can have blank cells, so I can't have a macro that finds the next empty cell.. but I do however have Column A with a constant populated cell and stops at the last ticket. However Column A is unrelated to the COUNTIF.
UPDATE 1
I'd also like to mention that I'd be using this variable in many formulas in the spreadsheet. Not only COUNTIF's. Also, the COUNTIF contains text.
UPDATE 2
Actually, I figured it out! I am using this formula instead:
=COUNTIF(INDIRECT("C"&D1&":A"&D2),R6)
I'm putting D1=2 and D2=415 and will just update cell D2 with how many rows I have.
I guess I just needed to ask the question thoroughly to fully understand what I wanted!
Thank you in advance for all help, tips and suggestions.
Would "=COUNTIF($C:$C,R6)" do the trick? This will apply COUNTIF to the whole of column C. It's an easy solution, but probably not the most efficient.
I prefer tables for storing data; as new data is added, the table automatically expands and the columns are already labeled (much like Named Ranges). Then you can have =COUNTIF(Table1[Column1],"Criteria"), which will encompass any new rows added to the table automatically. Especially helpful if you have multiple tables in the same column.
