I have two lists in Excel, one with the columns Code, Company, Email and Invoice (sheet 1) and another list with the columns Code, Company and Invoice (sheet 2).
Now, how can I create a new list that only contains rows where the value in the column Code in sheet 1 is identical to the value in the column Invoice in sheet 2?
EDIT: OK, so I used MATCH in Sheet1 as suggested like this:
=MATCH(A3,Sheet2!D:D,0)
However this only returns the row number when there is a match. But I need to return a specific cell value in Sheet2 for every row where there is a match. How can I do that?
Not sure I get exactly but I suppose you want to import from sheet2 to sheet1 some columns where there's match sheet1/code = sheet2/invoice. You can try this formula in Sheet1 E3 then copy/paste it in all cells that you want to import:
=IFERROR(INDEX(Sheet2!E:E, MATCH($A3,Sheet2!$D:$D,0)), "")

I have a large Excel data file, with data from two different sheets. I want to be able to match the partner_identifier values from SO Sheet 2 to the values in BB Sheet 1. For the rows in BB Sheet 1 that do match, I want to bring the entire row into a new sheet.
I need help coming up with a formula for this. I've tried VLOOKUP and IF variations, but I think I need a more complex formula. I can't do an =IF('SO Sheet 2'!D3='BB Sheet 1'!D3) because the matching values could be in different rows.
Right now, I have (and I know this is off because it returned "No" for every row, even the ones with a matching value) :
=IF(D3='SO Sheet 2'!D3:D16,'BB Sheet 1'!D3,"No")
Any insight would be greatly appreciated!
If you are using latest version of excel (Excel for Microsoft 365) - you can use XLOOKUP or FILTER formula.
Example:
= FILTER('SO Sheet 2'!A3:D16, 'SO Sheet 2'!D3:D16=D3)
Check here for details about these formulas: XLOOKUP, FILTER
You can achieve the result in 2 steps. in Sheet "BB sheet 1", you need to add a column E with XLOOKUP formula to find the matching identifier in "SO sheet 2"
=XLOOKUP(D2,'SO Sheet 2'!$A$2:$A$14,'SO Sheet 2'!$A$2:$A$14,"No")
The above will list all the matching identifier and put "No" wherever if couldn't match the identifier.
Then all you got to do is , in a new sheet, enter the formula in cell A1
=FILTER('BB sheet 1'!A:D,'BB sheet 1'!E:E<>"No")
My goal is to enter in column E on sheet 2 whether or not the customer used the discount code "BUNDLE3".
I would like to look at the order number in sheet 2 represented by column A then look at Column A in sheet 1 (where my orders data is) and if they match, then look at column M(discount code column in sheet 1) and if Column M has the text "BUNDLE3" then return Yes, if not return No.
The formula I was using is the one below, where orders_export_1 is sheet 1. It doesn't work because its not looking at the order numbers at all.
=IF(ISNUMBER(SEARCH("BUNDLE3",orders_export_1!M2)), "Yes", "No")
Please refer to image links for more clarity.
sheet 2, where I am trying to use an excel function in order to find out if an order (represented by column A) used the discount code "BUNDLE3"
sheet 1, This is my orders data. Sometimes orders take up multiple rows since they are listing the products customers have purchased.
In Sheet2, E2, put this formula and drag down:
=IF(COUNTIFS(orders_export_1!$A$2:$A$100,A2,orders_export_1!$M$2:$M$100,"BUNDLE3"),"Yes","No")
Adjust the range on orders_export_1 as needed.
I have a list of items on Sheet 1 with the names of each item in column A and then further information in the subsequent 5 columns.
On Sheet 2, in each of the cells of column A, I have set it so that I can pick any item from a dropdown list using data validation. I want the subsequent cells in the row to automatically assume the value of the respective cells in Sheet 1.
So if in Sheet 2, Cell A1 I select Item 3 (which is in Cell A3 on Sheet one), I want Cell B1 on Sheet 2 to have the same value as Cell B3 on Sheet 1.
I could get the result I wanted by using =IF($A3='Sheet1'!A3,'Sheet1'!B3,) and then adding each possible item but that seems really long winded and would require adding to the formula every time I added an item.
Any idea if there is a way of doing this? Sorry if my explanation is a bit confusing. My excel knowledge is not great!!
Thanks in advance
Use the Vlookup function
Next to your data validation cell, enter (assuming the first sheet called Sheet1):
=Vlookup(a1,Sheet1!a:f,2,0)
This will return the data that match for the 2nd column. For the 3rd use:
=Vlookup(a1,Sheet1!a:f,3,0)
And so on..
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)
I am trying to write a Visual Basic code for an Excel worksheet.
I have data in Sheet 2 and would like to retrieve values from Sheet 2 and return them to a cell in Sheet 1.
First I need to search in Sheet 2, Column A for the string "TOTAL OR". Once that value is found, I then need to search Sheet 2, Column B for the value that matches "TOTAL OR" in the same row. Once that vaule is found, I need to return it to a cell in Sheet 1.
The data is updated monthly and the number of rows is variable, therefore I cannot use a simple Excel formula based on a specific row. There is also multiple worksheets that I need to reference to return data to Sheet 1, i.e. retrieve values from Sheet 3 and return to Sheet 1, retrieve values from Sheet 4 and return to Sheet 1, etc.
You can use the vlookup formula in sheet1.
Here is an example regarding your example of sheet1 and sheet2 using the text "TOTAL OR":
=VLOOKUP("TOTAL OR",Sheet2!A:B,2,FALSE)
Now in regards to:
The data is updated monthly and the number of rows is variable,
therefore I cannot use a simple Excel formula based on a specific row.
There is also multiple worksheets that I need to reference to return
data to Sheet 1, i.e. retrieve values from Sheet 3 and return to Sheet
1, retrieve values from Sheet 4 and return to Sheet 1, etc.
I do not see this as an issue with VLOOKUP
If I misunderstood you and VLOOKUP cannot work let me know.
