I am looking for a vlookup formula that returns multiple matches using two lookup values. I am currently trying to use the concatenate method, but I haven't quite figured it out. The table needs to return all of the multiple matches not just one. Currently, its only returning the last match.
For example, lets say I have a list of multiple city and states. The cities differ but the states remain the same obviously. I want to return the number of people in the each city.
City State #OfPeople
Albany NY 10
Orlando FL 5
Tampa FL 3
Seattle WA 1
Queens NY 8
So I concatenated the city and state column.
Join City State #OfPeople
Albany-NY Albany NY 10
Orlando-FL Orlando FL 5
Tampa-FL Tampa FL 3
Seattle-WA Seattle WA 1
Queens-NY Queens NY 8
The purpose of this is to create an updated log of people in each city has time progresses. I want to have a grand total amount of people in each column. (I know this requires another formula. I'm just focused on returning multiple matches for now). However, I don't want to overwrite the existing data. Hopefully, I explained this well. This is just an example of a larger project I'm working on. I need to be able to build on this list. That's why its important that I be able to return matches multiple times.
Join City State #OfPeople Total
Albany-NY Albany NY 10 10
Orlando-FL Orlando FL 5 15
Tampa-FL Tampa FL 3 18
Seattle-WA Seattle WA 1 19
Queens-NY Queens NY 8 27
Any help would be greatly appreciated!
Considering you're trying to get some grand totals based on multiple criteria, I would suggest using SUMIFS() / COUNTIFS() functions, rather than focusing on searching matching row itself.
However, if you need multiple criteria look up, for some reason, I believe INDEX() + MATCH() combination can perfectly do the job.
The table needs to return all of the multiple matches not just one.
Currently, its only returning the last match
You'll need to use SUMIFS() if there are multiple records for the same city/state combo in your people lookup.
=SUMIFS (sum_range, range1, criteria1, [range2], [criteria2], ...)
Let's assume that you have a cities tab and a people tab. Let's assume you have ten cities that you want to return the total amount of people from.
Cities Tab definition
City range: 'Cities'!A$1:A$10
State range: 'Cities'!B$1:B$10
People Tab definition
City range: 'People'!A$1:A$100
State range: 'People'!B$1:B$100
#OfPeople range: 'People'!C$1:C$100
Drop this formula in the first row of your cities tab, drag down the entire range of cities.
=SUMIFS('People'!C$1:C$100, 'Cities'!A$1, People'!A$1:A$100, 'Cities'!B$1, 'People'!B$1:B$100)

I have an Excel sheet with the below data.
There are 10,000 Data rows.
9000 are of "USA" & 1000 are of "Other" country.
I want to evenly distribute the data so that when I have 9 "USA" followed by 1 "Other" data distributed throughout.
Name
Country
Alice
USA
Brook
Other
Cathy
USA
David
USA
Esther
Other
Freddy
USA
Galin
USA
Henry
Other
Indigo
USA
Jenny
USA
Kalin
Other
Linda
USA
How do I accomplish this using manual & excel VBA? Appreciate both solutions. Thanks
This can be achieved with a formula if you have the newest version of Excel.
Try something like (adapt ranges and what you are filtering on as necessary):
=LET(x, FILTER($B$1:$C$12, $C$1:$C$12="a"),
y, FILTER($B$1:$C$12, $C$1:$C$12="b"),
z, ROW(D1:D12), myrows, MAX(z),
ratio, MAX((COUNTA(x)/2)/(COUNTA(y)/2), (COUNTA(y)/2)/(COUNTA(x)/2))+1,
IF(MOD(z,ratio)<>0,
INDEX(x, IF(MOD(SEQUENCE(myrows),ratio)=0, 0, SEQUENCE(myrows)-CEILING(ROW(G1:G12)/ratio-1,1)), SEQUENCE(1,2)),
INDEX(y, IF(MOD(SEQUENCE(myrows),ratio)<>0,0,SEQUENCE(myrows)/ratio), SEQUENCE(1,2))))
For example:
The trick is to create the "correct" sequence for each result; for the first array you want to skip every nth row (in your case 10), and having the nth+1 row not default to n+1, but n, while in the second array you want to skip every row that isn't a some multiple of n, and have the nth rows count sequentially.
A caveat-- as is, I don't believe the formula will work with repetition other than 1, i.e. if you want to do something like 8 rows followed by 2 rows, this won't work.
This works even with older Excel versions:
If this is your data:
Add a Sort column with the following formula in C2 and pull it down:
=IF(B2="USA",COUNTIF($B$2:B2,"USA")+INT((COUNTIF($B$2:B2,"USA")-1)/ROUNDUP(COUNTIF(B:B,"USA")/(COUNTA(B:B)-COUNTIF(B:B,"USA")),0)),COUNTIF($B$2:B2,"Other")*(ROUNDUP(COUNTIF(B:B,"USA")/(COUNTA(B:B)-COUNTIF(B:B,"USA")),0)+1))
Then sort by this column C and USA and Other are evenly spread:
I have the following table:
A
B
C
1
Match
Goals scored
Goals lost
2
Turkey - Italy
3
1
3
Turkey - Wales
1
2
4
Switzerland - Turkey
and I would like to count the number of matches that was won by Turkey.
Lets assume cell Z1 to contain "Turkey"
and
lets pay attention to the matches where "Turkey" is at the beginning of cells in A ("Turkey - ...")
I considered 2 ways:
=SUMPRODUCT(--(A2:A4=Z1&" -*"),--(B2:B4>C2:C4))
=COUNTIFS(A2:A4,Z1&" -*",B2:B4,">"&C2:C4)
In the first solution, it is not possible to use a range as 4th argument (">"&C2:C4)
However, in the second one, I can not use wildcard ("*"), because it is not allowed in sumproduct function.
How to solve this problem?
I will add that I don't want to write B2+B3+C4, because there is too much data in the whole table (and teams could be changed in the future).
First of all, you should use 2 Columns for the match.
I have a table of shipping prices per number of units and by country. I'd like to have the total shipping cost appear on my order form once the number of bottles and country have been filled in elsewhere on the order form. Any ideas for what formula would do this?
Here's a small part of my table:
1 2 3 4 5 6
France €12.60 €14.40 €17.40 €19.44 €21.36 €23.40
Belgium €20.40 €26.40 €31.20 €36.60 €42.00 €46.80
Germany €20.40 €26.40 €31.20 €36.60 €42.00 €46.80
So for the client shipping to Germany that selects 5 units, how do I get €42.00 to appear in the shipping cost cell?
Thank you
INDEX with two MATCH's.
=INDEX(A1:G4,MATCH("Germany",$A$1:$A$4,0),MATCH(5,$A$1:$G$1,0))
Here is another approach...
Suppose your data is in range A1:G4 including headers,
Put your look up criteria in range A6:B7, and use the following formula to return the desired cost:
=DGET(A1:G4,""&B7&"",A6:A7)
OK, I have two columns in excel that contain city names. I need a rank of how many times a relationship between two cities occurs. For example, the ranking for the data below should be as follows. #1 is Austin to Dallas with 3 occurrences. #2 is Chicago to Boston with 2 occurrences. #3 is Chicago to New York with 1 occurrence.
sample data set
You can use a =COUNTIFS statement to check specific cities.
For example:
Row 1 = Headers
Column A = Origin City
Column B = Destination City
Data in your table should be in A2:B7
You can use:
=COUNTIFS($A$2:$A$7,"Austin",$B$2:$B$7,"Dallas")
=COUNTIFS($A$2:$A$7,"Chicago",$B$2:$B$7,"Boston")
=COUNTIFS($A$2:$A$7,"Chicago",$B$2:$B$7,"New York")
The scenario I'm facing is that in my company we have mixed naming conventions for servers and workstations like:
COUNTRYCODE-WORKSTATION1
WORKSTATION10-COUNTRYCODE
COUNTRY-SERVER1
SERVER1-COUNTRYCODE
So sometimes I may find names like: BR-WK1 or SRV42-US.
I need to create a PivotTable to extract the amount of events per country so I need to come up with a Lookup function that looks at the first two characters in a cell and if it finds a country code it returns the country code in a country column for that row. If it does not find a country code, it looks at the first two characters on the right, and so on. Country code list will be available in another sheet.
IF(LEFT(CELL,CHARNUMBER){COUNTRY LIST}) then (CELLCOUNTRY == {MATCH COUNTY}))
ELSE(RIGHT(CELL,CHARNUMBER){COUNTRY LIST} then (CELLCOUNTRY == {MATCH COUNTRY}))
Excel:
COUNTRY MACHINE NAME EVENT DATE TIME
BR BR-WK1 Critical type 1 08/01/2015 01:15
US SRV42-US Critical type 2 08/01/2015 01:15
BR WK100-BR Warning type 8 08/01/2015 01:15
US US-SRV420 Critical type 1 08/01/2015 01:15
Pivot table:
Row Labels Count of EVENT
BR 2
US 2
Grand Total 4
