Excel Formula Vlookup issue - excel

I have 2 excel sheets ("sheet 1, sheet 2").
Sheet 1 and Sheet 2 have "product #" in column A and "price" in column C. I'm trying to write a formula that would allow Sheet 1 to lookup on sheet 2 if there is a Product # match In column A and if there is a product # match then to update on Sheet 1 Column C (Price) the product price from sheet 2. If there is no Match of product # from sheet 2 then to leave the price on sheet 1 alone.
I'm using this formula which returns a "0" on an error but I can't figure out how to modify it to leave price alone when there's no product # found.
=IFERROR(VLOOKUP(A2,updated!A:C,3,FALSE),0)
Thanks

The only caveat here is that you need to write this formula in a new column, let's say in D2, because you can't overwrite your original price with the formula.
=IFERROR(VLOOKUP(A2,updated!A:C,3,FALSE),C2)
This says, "if A2 matches a value in Column A of the Updated Sheet, return the price from Column C of the updated sheet, unless there is an error, in which case, use the original price on Sheet 1 (C2).

You want to use INDEX/MATCH for this:
Put the following formula in column C and populate down
=IFERROR(IF(INDEX(Sheet2!B:B,MATCH(A2,Sheet2!A:A,0))=Sheet1!B2,B2,INDEX(Sheet2!B:B,MATCH(A2,Sheet2!A:A,0))),"")
The MATCH will find, the row on Sheet2 with the same Product ID, the INDEX will return the matching price. If it matches the one on Sheet1, the formula returns the value on Sheet1 in column B. If it doesn't it will return the price from Sheet2

Excel: Drop Down Computable Calculations

For my abilities in Excel I believe that has too many facets and I am certain using V/HLookup individually will not achieve the objective.
I have a list of products on Sheet 1, on Sheet 2 I need to make a a simple calculator selecting from the products list.
The products list is one large table with the product part, price, rrp etc which can be filtered by part name.
On Sheet 2 I would like to try the following:
Part Type
Part Name
Price
Wheels
(Column B - Row 2)
row
Exhaust
row
row
Part 3
row
row
Part 4
row
row
I need to make the 'Column B- Row 2' a drop down list of all the parts corresponding to the 'Part Type 'Wheels''.
Assuming you have Excel 365, this can be done using the FILTER and XLOOKUP FUNCTION
Sheet 1 sample Data
Result in Sheet 2
Formula in cell E3
=TRANSPOSE(FILTER(Sheet1!B:B,Sheet1!A:A=Sheet2!A3,""))
Data validation in Cell B3 (dont forget the # symbol in formula)
Formula in Cell C3 for price
=XLOOKUP(A3&B3,Sheet1!A:A&Sheet1!B:B,Sheet1!C:C,"Not Found")

Comparing two columns in two different excel sheets

I have 2 excel sheets (sheet1 and sheet2)
Sheet1 has 10 columns, sheet2 has 20 columns (no:of rows are same )
Sheet2 contains all the columns that sheet1 have
Now, compare 12th column of sheet2 with 7th column of sheet1
This should result in another column names 'Matched?' in any of the sheet (lets say sheet 2)
This 'Matched?' columns should have 500 rows with values 'Yes' if matched (or) 'No' if not matched.
Note: Kindly please start explaining from the scratch about the provided VLOOKUP() function because i don't know about it.
This little formula will do the trick for you:
=IF(COUNTIF(Sheet1!G:G; L2)=0, "No match in Sheet1", "Match in Sheet1")
Where "Sheet1" is the name of the worksheet 1
You could then modify it to (the above formula is to clearly show the logic):
=IF(COUNTIF(Sheet1!G:G; L2)=0, "No", "Yes")
Assume we have Sheet 1:
Sheet 2, we apply our formula in the column V. It check if the word Apple (cell L2 exist anywhere in Sheet 1, column G). We do this for every row.
For next row we want to check if it exist in Sheet1, we apply the formula again, the only difference is that L2 -> L3 i.e. the reference value changes since you are looking at another row.

Excel 2007 matching data

I have an issue in Excel 2007 and i'm not sure how to get my end result.
I have 1 Workbook with 2 sheets.
I've already tried the VLookup, but it returns an #N/A.
First worksheet, Sheet1 has Item #, Description, Size and UPC Code.
Sheet2 has UPC Codes, but it was for inventory, so they scanned the same UPC Code multiple times, so it repeats, some for 20, others only 1.
So I need to "Count" how many times the UPC Code appears in Sheet2. I guess that would be the first step.
Next, I need to match the UPC Codes in Sheet2 to the UPC Codes in Sheet1 along with telling us the Item #, Description, & Size that correlates to that UPC Code.
Sheet1 Column A is Item #, Column B is Description, Column C is Size, Column D is UPC Code.
Sheet2, Column A is UPC Code from the inventory scan.
So my end result will be the Item #, Description, Size, UPC Code, and Qty of the scanned UPC inventory.
Can anyone help with this?
Edit
If I can just get the data from Sheet1 to Sheet2, I can get the count by UPC. So I just need help getting the data from Sheet1 to Sheet2 using Column D in Sheet1 to match it up with Sheet2 column A. I need to copy Sheet1 Column A through Column D to Sheet2 Column B thru E based on the unique identifier in Column A of Sheet2, and Column D of Sheet1. I've tried the VLOOKUP formula: =VLOOKUP(A2,Sheet1!$A$2:$D$40019,1,FALSE) but it returns #N/A but when I try to find the value in Sheet1, I can. When I change the formula to be: =VLOOKUP(A2,Sheet1!$A$2:$D$40019,1,TRUE) it returns 55942 which is an item # in Sheet1 column A but it doesn't match the UPC's. Images are below and above.

search for 2 parameters in column and returning a third column

I am trying to search from inside spreadsheet 1 into spreadsheet 2 for 2 things that must be true and if so, pull back another column row.
I want to search column A for the number 12345 and column B for the string "GBP" but I do not know what row 12345 and "GBP" will occur on. If found (there can only ever be 1 result returned so don't worry about multiple results) I need to return the value in column C.
The thing is - I am finding this tricky. Can you help me please?
Create a column C where each cell to the right of data contains the formula
=IF(AND(A2=12345,B2="GBP"),1,0)
When you have copied that formula into each cell down the entire column, search that column for a "1". The "1" is what you are looking for.
As long as there is 1 row matching the criteria, you can use SUMIFS function to get the value from the matching cell:
assuming A2=12345 and B2="GBP" on the current sheet,
sum all values on Sheet 1 column C where both columns A and B match the specified criteria:
=SUMIFS(Sheet1!C:C,
Sheet1!A:A, A2,
Sheet1!B:B, B2)

Formula - find and copy from sheet 1 to sheet 2

In Excel, I have sheet 1 with column a (ID numbers) and column b (contract numbers), and sheet 2 with column a (ID numbers).
I need to find the ID numbers from sheet 2 in sheet 1, and copy the relevant contract numbers in sheet 2 (in a new column).
Can you please help with the formula?
Sounds like you could use the VLOOKUP formula for this. The VLOOKUP formula will look for a specified value in the left-most column of a table or range, and then returns a value from the same row of a column you specify.
For example, say you have the following on Sheet 1:
You would then use the VLOOKUP formula on Sheet 2 to find the ID in Sheet 1 and return the correlated Contract, like so:
You could use a "vertical lookup" function in your second sheet. Use something like the pseudocode below in the cell you want the information to appear in the second sheet .. where column 2 contains the information "looked up" in sheet one that you want.
=vlookup(-cell reference containing ID in second sheet-,-reference to all of sheet 1-,2,false)
