I am trying to compare current and history data to find out if number field is matching.
Currently, there are columns A through AM. However, the combination of S, T, U columns makes a unique row.
So I want to compare that combination to sheet2(history data) to find out if column Z is matching to the current value, and return "pass" if matching to the history data, and "review" if is not matching to history data. Is there any way to write this formula in Excel? I've tried to make a unique field by creating formula like this s2&t2&u2 both in history and current data, but vlookup does not work on this. Is there any way to make this process work?
Thank you
You can use this array formula at any cell of row 2 of sheet 1, then copy/paste along the column to check each of the rows.
=IF(ISNUMBER(MATCH(1,
(Sheet2!$S$2:$S$1000=S2)*
(Sheet2!$T$2:$T$1000=T2)*
(Sheet2!$U$2:$U$1000=U2)*
(Sheet2!$Z$2:$Z$1000=Z2),
0)), "pass","review") Ctrl+Shift+Enter
Remember, this is an array formula, edit it then type Ctrl+Shift+Enter otherwise it won't work.

I want to find which user is "P" given a date in data below.
I've tried retrieving the row number of the given date using "=MATCH(A5,$A$4:$A$5,0)"
and also the column number of "P", using "=MATCH("P",B5:G5,0)"
I'm unsure how to bring them together to get the desired output.
Thanks for any help.
Nested INDEX/MATCH
=IFNA(INDEX($B$1:$G$1,1,MATCH($J2,INDEX($B$2:$G$3,MATCH($I2,$A$2:$A$3,0),0),0)),"")
Insert a new column H where H4 has a formula of =INDEX(B$3:G$3,MATCH("P",B4:G4,0).
Then your second table's second column formula can be =INDEX(H$4:H$5, MATCH(yourDateCellHere, A$4:A$5,0)) because a lot of the heavy lifting is already done in the first table.
Then, if you wish, hide your new column H.
I got an issue with Xlookup formula for the lookup array & return array. As the 1st one I need to manually select the range for lookup and return array, I try to use Xlookup with multiple criteria to match with the keyword instead of only matching one criteria. However, the result was appear to be different. Please help how to adjust the formula to remove the manual selecting range. Thank you.
G column is text
AE column is number
J column is text
Z column is number
W column is date
=XLOOKUP(AE3,工作表2!$Z$2:$Z$6,工作表2!$W$2:$W$6,,1)
=XLOOKUP($G3&$AE3,工作表2!$J:$J&工作表2!$Z:$Z,工作表2!$W:$W,,1)
Your sheet names showing in Chinese may be confusing some people.
I'm not aware of any syntax in Excel that allows you to concatenate columns as part of an array definition. It would be great if we could do this. The only way I know to do this is with another column and then use that for your array. You could add $J2&$Z2 to another column and then use that. If you added that to column H your xlookup() would be:
=xlookup($G3&$AE3, $H2:$H6, $W2:$W6,,1)
Here's how it looks. I showed the xlookup() functions in F9 and F10 (right aligned) and the results in G9 and G10.
I was not sure how to really create the question...
But the problem I am having is this: I have a list (in rows) that relate to a regulatory document, and after trying to create some sort of for loop or elaborate VLookUp/Index formula, I'm requesting help.
For example:
Now I want to use the rows to find the corresponding section in the document. I've already extracted and formatted the compliance document so it is in excel format.
So what I really need is this: a formula or VBA script that can
1. take the compliance number (for example 1A-1 which exist in Cell A3) and go find a cell (in single column D) that has JUST 1A-1, not 1A-1.1, not 1A-1.1.2, etc. and return it to the adjacent cell to 1A-1, for example.
Many thanks ahead of time... I am so lost!! :/
VLOOKUP vs INDEX/MATCH
You can do the 'lookup' two ways (that I'm aware of):
Using VLOOKUP:
The B3 cell contains your formula
=IF(ISERROR(VLOOKUP(A3,C:D,2,FALSE)),"",VLOOKUP(A3,C:D,2,FALSE))
where 'FALSE' is indicating there has to be an exact match and the data doesn't have to be sorted.
Using INDEX with MATCH:
The F3 cell contains the Index/Match formula
=IF(ISERROR(MATCH(A3,C:C,0)),"",INDEX(D:D,MATCH(A3,C:C,0)))
where '0' is indicating there has to be an exact match and the data doesn't have to be sorted.
INDEX/MATCH preferable!?
The MATCH function finds the position (row number if whole column is used) of the found match. This way (there's another) of using the INDEX function uses exactly this found match to return a cell's value in that position (row) in ANY specified column range (column). So they are the ideal combination.
With the VLOOKUP function you have to additionally specify the column index (range_lookup) of a range which could get complicated when the columns aren't adjacent as in this case. Most importantly, the function doesn't work if the lookup data is to the right of the match data.
VLOOKUP NOT WORKING! INDEX/MATCH STILL WORKING!
try this formula
The formula in cells
B2: =INDEX(E:E,MATCH(A2,F:F,0))
C2: =INDEX(G:G,MATCH(A2,F:F,0))
MATCH(A2,F:F,0) is finding Cell A2 in column F (0 means it will find
exact match) and will return the first row number when it would find that
INDEX(E:E,MATCH(A2,F:F,0)) will return contents of column E where row number is returned by the Match formula
I have an excel document with two sheets, data and edu-plan. The sheet data has the following information:
The sheet edu-plan looks like this:
My question is: how do i create an excel formula that checks if the target group on the specific row in edu-plan! has the course name in question on the same row as the target group in sheet data!, i.e. if Sales and Sales course is on the same row in the sheet data!?
In reality, the data sheet as a couple of hundred rows and will change over time, so i am trying to develop a formula that i can apply easily on all rows/columns in edu-plan!.
The desired result in edu-plan would look like this:
A pivot table might be a good way to go.
If you would like to do it by formula, then you can just use a COUNTIFS
=IF(COUNTIFS(data!$A$2:$A$10,$A2,data!$B$2:$B$10,B$1),"X","")
A possible way to solve your issue with an array formula:
Write in B2 of sheet edu-plan
{=IFERROR(IF(MATCH('edu-plan'!$A2&'edu-plan'!B$1,data!$A$2:$A$6&data!$B$2:$B$6,0)>0,"x",""),"")}
Since it is an array formula, you need to hit shift + ctr + enter.
Here is the formula broken down:
MATCH('edu-plan'!$A2&'edu-plan'!B$1,data!$A$2:$A$6&data!$B$2:$B$6,0)
checks whether the combination of row header and column header is in the data table. MATCH returns the index of the found combination. Since we are not interested in the location, we only ask IF(MATCH > 0, "x", "") to write an "x" if a match was found. If MATCH finds nothing, it returns an error, which is why we add an IFERROR(VALUE, "") around the construct.
We have 11 columns (Columns B through L) of codes that I need to select based on a VLOOKUP from another sheet. IF ANY of the column values are "HI" or "EXT", I need to keep the record, if ALL of the column values are "M" I can exclude it. Column A is my LOOKUP list.
Right now the best I can come up with is 11 nested =IF(VLOOKUP(...) statements to set an inclusion flag, but if there's a way to SUM a TRUE/FALSE flag based on equality to the value "M" across all 11 columns...I've not had success finding that.
Any ideas?
This can be solved in two steps:
For columns B-L, the formula needs to be your VLookup formula (which you didn't put here) and ="M" at the end of it, which will result in a binary true/false value.
Then, in column M, simply do a logical AND using the AND function across B-L for each row e.g. =AND(B1:L1)
Another option, if you wish to keep the display format the same, is to do an array formula.
Enter =IF(AND(B1:L1="M"), "KEEP", "EXCLUDE"), then press CTRL+SHIFT+ENTER and it will add curly braces to it, meaning it calculates an array value. The resulting formula in the cell will be {=IF(AND(B1:L1="M"), "KEEP", "EXCLUDE")}. I tested, and it appeared to work as expected.
