I would like to match the values of Column B and D in Sheet 2 , compare Column D & Column E and return the value of Column E in Sheet1-Column B. I used the formulas below and it is not working. The problem is most of Column A values in Sheet 1 and Sheet 2 are different. So I need to match both Column A. I will enter this formula in Sheet 1 Column B.
How can i change the formula? Help me
=INDEX(Sheet2!$E:$E; AND(MATCH(Sheet1!$A2; Sheet2!$A:$A; 0);MATCH(Sheet2!$B2; Sheet2!$D:$D; 0)))
=INDEX(Sheet2!$E:$E; MATCH(Sheet2!$B2; Sheet2!$D:$D; 0))
In B2 of sheet1 you could put the following:
=VLOOKUP(VLOOKUP(A2,Sheet2!A:B,2,FALSE),Sheet2!D:E,2,FALSE)
The inner lookup =VLOOKUP(A2,Sheet2!A:B,2,FALSE) returns the code e.g. A
and then the outer lookup =VLOOKUP(innerlookupvalue,Sheet2!D:E,2,FALSE), uses this value to do a lookup against the range containing the content values.
You can drag this down for as many rows as you have values. You will need to decide how to handle values that are not found.
What may be a problem is when you say "The problem is most of Column A values in Sheet 1 and Sheet 2 are different", you will get #N/A returned as you can't lookup a non-match. As i said above, you would need to determine how to handle this.

Excel Formula (non VBA preferred)
Column B has duplicates and only 1 row has value in Column A for each set of duplicates in column B.
Need to return "something"/True/False/wtvr in column C to identify there is a value in A and B anywhere for the duplicate values in column B, leaving items without something in Column A blank.
Pretty easy using COUNTIFS:
=IF(COUNTIFS(B:B,B2,A:A,"<>")>0,"something","")
If column A contains a formula that returns a null string (""), something like:
=IF(SUMPRODUCT((B$2:B$18=B2)*(LEN(A$2:A$18)>0))>0,"something","")
where B$2:B$18 and A$2:A$18 represent the ranges with data.
I have two sheets containing various columns in which two columns contains document number and prices. Now I want to match cell K3 (a document number ) of Sheet 1 within column D (all document numbers) of Sheet 2. If match exists, then i want the corresponding price mentioned in Column V to be returned.
This is the formula I've tried:
=VLOOKUP(K3,'Sheet1 (2)'!D2:D896,22,FALSE)
The VLOOKUP documentation is helpful here, especially points 2 and 3 which correspond to parts 2 and 3 of the formula.
The range where the lookup value is located. Remember that the lookup value should always be in the first column in the range for VLOOKUP to work correctly. For example, if your lookup value is in cell C2 then your range should start with C.
The column number in the range that contains the return value. For example, if you specify B2: D11 as the range, you should count B as the first column, C as the second, and so on.
So change the second D to V in your lookup range, and change the column to 19 instead of 22 - D is the 1st column, E the second and so on till V, the 19th column of the lookup range.
=VLOOKUP(K3,'Sheet1 (2)'!D2:V896,19,FALSE)
if VLOOKUP is not your thing, consider INDEX/MATCH.
=INDEX('Sheet1 (2)'!V:V,MATCH(K3,'Sheet1 (2)'!D:D,0))
=VLOOKUP(K3,Sheet1!D3:E8,2,FALSE)
In formula second last argument is the column number of values.
I have a excel file with 2 work sheets. They look like this:
Sheet 1:
Sheet 2:
I want to look up the value of column A (sheet1) when matched with column A (sheet 2) copy the value of column B (sheet 2) to column B (sheet 1).
I know I have to use vlookup but I really have no idea where to start with this.
An example of the result:
VLOOKUP works by taking a square range of data, looking at the first column of that data for a match you specify, and then returning the value of that row a given number of columns to the right. For example, in your case, it would look as follows [for B2 in sheet1, copied down]:
=VLOOKUP(A2,'Sheet2'!A:B, 2, FALSE)
This takes the value from cell A2, then looks at column A on sheet2. If it finds a match, it returns the value on the 2nd column of the table [ie: column B]. If there is no match, it will return #N/A. The FALSE means that it doesn't assume your data is sorted [if it is, you can use VLOOKUP to take a 'next best' value if there is no match.
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)
I have a spreadsheet with multiple columns with a few thousand rows and I would like to find the cells that are common across all columns. Is there a function that I can use to check if a cell value exists in a set of cells/column?
To find out if a value exist in all columns but in any row you can put this equation in the next open column and drag down:
=AND(MATCH(A1,B:B,0),MATCH(A1,C:C,0))
This assumes you have data in column A, B & C and the equation is in column D. now you can sort on column D for unique values.
Depending on your data type you might get an error. If that is the case try this:
=AND(IFERROR(MATCH(A1,B:B,0),FALSE),IFERROR(MATCH(A1,C:C,0),FALSE))
