I have a workbook that contains two sheets "Sign-In" and "Sign-Out". I have Last Name, First Name, ID, Date, and Time on each. I am trying to figure out the best way to compare the two sheets so that I can combine the data to tally hours worked each day.
I have tried to combine the ID and Date into one field and then run a INDEX | MATCH on between the sheets. I am comparing the two thinking that if the person signed in on a specific day then they should have a sign out on the same day. It is close but contains gaps that it says are N/A but that I can look at and see are true. So I am thinking that my hypothesis is wrong and I am not returning what I think I should be returning.
A:Timestamp B:LastName C:FirstName D:ID E:Blank F:Date G:Time H:Blank I:Comparison Data J:INDEX|MATCH Formula
My INDEX | MATCH formula looks like this:
=INDEX('Sign-Out'!G2:G1265,MATCH(I2,'Sign-Out'!I2:I1265,0))
I am not sure what I need to do here to get the results I am looking for in my table. Any help is appreciated...

Expected outcome is to have sign-in times match up to sign-out times on the same day. There are holes in the data but I expected that all data that can match will match.
Using your provided sample workbook, you don't need a Comparison column at all, so can get rid of that entirely. I would make column H on your "Sign-In" sheet a "Time-Out" column, and then use this formula in cell H2 and copy down:
=IF(COUNTIFS('Sign-Out'!D:D,D2,'Sign-Out'!F:F,F2)=0,"No Sign-Out Time",MOD(SUMIFS('Sign-Out'!A:A,'Sign-Out'!D:D,D2,'Sign-Out'!F:F,F2),1))
Make sure to format the cells as Time [$-409]h:mm AM/PM;# so that they display the results properly.

this is my first time asking a question here, but I have two formulas that I'm not really sure why they aren't working.
The first issue I'm having is with this formula:
=MAX(IF(C46:C51<80,B46:B51))
Any reason that this formula returns #VALUE! I'm supposed to find the max value of data in column B so long as the data in column C is less than 80.
Then I'm having issues with VLOOKUP on two questions, that are related I have a large dataset on a separate worksheet. I need to VLOOKUP someone's name to find a value associated with that name. The problem is that their name comes up multiple times. The formula I have for it so far is:
=VLOOKUP('PDR DATA'!E80,'PDR DATA'!A4:V119,15,FALSE)
Where 'PDR DATA'!E80 is the first instance of the person's name appearing. However, using FALSE with VLOOKUP returns #N/A, but if I use TRUE it returns the very last value from column 15 even though the name is different from what I'm searching for. I'm lost here and don't know where to turn.
=MAX(IF(C46:C51<80,B46:B51,C46:C51)) works for me. (Please ensure B46:B51 & C46:C51 has integer values)
=VLOOKUP(cell you want to lookup for, cells where you want to lookup(maybe more than one column), which column you want to fetch from (number), rangelookup) try to understand the syntax and give your inputs
ex: If I have a existing data with Name and id in sheet2, need that id in sheet1 by using the name then I will use =VLOOKUP(L2,Sheet2!A2:B5,2,TRUE)
L2 is the sheet1 name, then I have selected both columns(A,B) and rows in sheet2, then column number is 2.
I have an Excel sheet with over 1,500 rows of data. Each row tracks an employees start and stop time for a specific task and order number. I want to add up the total time for each person and/or location.
I tried VLOOKUP to try and do this, but it just returns an error. For example, if I want to look for Karen's total work time, I would do something like VLOOKUP(Karen,F:F,9,TRUE). What I get in return is an #REF!. I suspect this has to do with there being something like 100 rows that are related to Karen's work and the VLOOKUP isn't going to add all the values found together.
What I want is for the output, in one cell, to show the total time. I figured I might have to do something were it finds all of Karen's times and dumps them into a new column, and from there, I can sum them all up into a single cell to get the total time.
Example of Excel document
Like BigBen said in his comment, you should use SUMIFS to achieve that, along with a new column like you figured out.
I made a simple sheet in Google Sheets to exemplify it (functions used are the same in Excel).
Here's the link to it, and below is an image of it's contents:
I have two lists, the first is a set of users. The second list contains different encounter dates for these users.
I need to identify the date that is within 10 days of the "Renew Date" [Column C], but not before. With Member 1 this would be row 3 1/8/2017. With Member 2 this would be row 6, 1/21/2017.
Now using a VLOOKUP which the user before me who managed this spreadsheet obviously isn't viable as it's simply going to pickup the first date that has a matching Member ID. Is there a way to do this in Excel at all?
I have included a link to a sample file and a screenshoit of the sample data.

To avoid the slowness and complexities of array formulas, you can try with SUMIFS but the problem is that if you have more than one match, it will add them, not return the first match. The sum will look like an aberration. Will work however if you are guaranateed that you have only one match in the data.
An alternative is also to use AVERAGEIFS, which, in case of multiple matches, will give you their average and it will look like a valid date and a good result. Enter this formula in D2 and fill down the column:
D2:
=AVERAGEIFS(G:G,F:F,A2,G:G,">="&C2,G:G,"<="&C2+10)
and don't forget to format column D as Date.
Try this
=SUMPRODUCT($G$2:$G$7,--($F$2:$F$7=A2),--($G$2:$G$7<=C2+10),--($G$2:$G$7>C2))
Format the result as date. See screenshot (my system uses DMY order)
Don't use whole column references with this formula. It will slow down the workbook.
I have been working on a solution to this problem for a few hours now and I am basically no where except knowing that I don't know how to do it...So here goes.
I want to take the original data that I have in Excel that have 'code#s' for each 'category#'. With those 'code#s', I can look up the 'category#' name.
This has been so challenging because there are a varying number of categories for every 'title#'.
I have tried printing the 'category#' name next to 'title#', but it is seemingly impossible because Excel goes through every row in the original data and gives a True, False or #N/A instead of selecting and printing only the true statements without copying down a thousand rows. I want it to go through all the possibilities and only select the categories based on the criteria that they have the same 'title#' and their lookup code matches somewhere in the lookup table.
Thanks if you can offer any sort of help.
Here are some of the formulas I have tried:
IF(AND($M$5=TOP_TREND_CONTRIBUTORS!$W$2:$W$253,MATCH(TOP_TREND_CONTRIBUTORS!$A$2:$A$253,'Category Lookup'!$D$3:$D$30,0)<>"#N/A"),TOP_TREND_CONTRIBUTORS!$A$2:$A$253,FALSE)
....where M5, W:W is the 'title#', A:A is the code for the lookup-in that part I am trying to say that they are valid if the code registers in the lookup table and the 'title#s' are equal. The last part I am trying to get it to print the 'code#s' that are valid. But that only works when I drag the formula down all the rows.
Maybe I'm missing something, but I just tried to get from your original data and lookup table to the final result. I used VLOOKUP to put categories next to titles and then used pivot table to present the data in the way you wanted (after changing some settings of pivot table and fields). Is that what you need? (some words are in Polish, it doesn't matter).
I'm stuck on an Excel problem and am hoping someone can assist. I read through 10-15 topics that are similar, but I wasn't able to get anything to work. Here is where I'm at...
I have a large data set containing columns for Year, Name, Total 1, Total 2 (and 20+ other columns). The same names appear in multiple rows based on the yearly totals. On a separate sheet, I have another data set containing Name and would like to pull the data from sheet one into columns as shown below.
I have done this in the past using only one year as the initial data set with the following formula:
=INDEX(DATARANGE,MATCH([#Name],DATARANGE[Name],0),MATCH("Total 1",DATARANGE[#Headers],0))
The problem I am having is the result of adding multiple years of data to my 1st data set. Is there a way to match the row based on name and year and then return the results of the appropriate column?
=SUM(($A$2:$A$9=B$16)*($B$2:$B$9=$A17)*($C$2:$C$9))
Enter above in cell B14 as an array formula or below as standard
=SUMPRODUCT(($A$2:$A$9=B$16)*($B$2:$B$9=$A17)*($C$2:$C$9))
You can do the same for total 2 just replace Cs with Ds
And then drag right and down.
Change the first MATCH function to something like this:
=MATCH(1,INDEX(([#Name]=DATARANGE[Name])*([#Year]=DATARANGE[Year]),0),0)
so as part of your whole formula that would be this
=INDEX(DATARANGE,MATCH(1,INDEX(([#Name]=DATARANGE[Name])*([#Year]=DATARANGE[Year]),0),0)
,MATCH("Total 1",DATARANGE[#Headers],0))
Another way you can use for returning numbers only (as here) is like this: (with cell refs for simplicity).
=SUMPRODUCT((A2:A9=2013)*(B2:B9="name x")*(C1:D1="Total 1"),C2:D9)
If the presented data to be indexed is a table then
This
=MATCH(1,INDEX(([#Name]=DATARANGE[Name])*([#Year]=DATARANGE[Year]),0),0)
should be corrected to a proper structured reference of
#[Name]
Also since this is an array formula it may not work with structured references at all. You'd be better served with regular cell references. Also if it is not a table only cell references will work.
