Match a Path Vlookup - excel

I have tow table which looks like this:
Table B:
+-----------+--------------------+----------+
| DocNumber | URL | Type |
+-----------+--------------------+----------+
| HTZ12 | http://google.com | URL |
| HT45 | www.halloworld.com | Car |
| ZT1245 | Test | Building |
+-----------+--------------------+----------+
Table A:
+-----------+------------------+
| DocNumber | URL |
+-----------+------------------+
| HTZ12 | http://google. |
| HT45 | www.halloworld.c |
| ZT1245 | Test |
+-----------+------------------+
Both tables are in the same excel sheet I would like to do a vlookup from tabel A to B via the DocNuber and get the Type from Tabel B
=VLOOKUP(J2;Old_Internal_library!A:L;1;0)
in J2 is the DocNumber from Tabel A
That is image of tabel A (going via Document Number J)
Table B where I want to get the Turbocharger Type in column D

Your current code is looking up the data in the leftmost column in your range of Old_Internal_library!A:L and returning the data in the first column in the range. The 1 in your formula represents which column (relative to your range) you are returning data from.
So for example, if you are looking up the 'Type', which looks to be in the 3rd column in your range, you will need to change your formula to:
=VLOOKUP(J2;Old_Internal_library!A:L;3;0)
EDIT:
As the lookup value is in Column E of Table B and the value you'd like to return is in Column D you will need to use an INDEX/MATCH function. Try:
=INDEX(Old_Internal_library!D:D;MATCH(J2;Old_Internal_library!E:E;0))

Match column value with substring from reference table in Excel

I have a reference table on sheet1
| A | B |
|---------------|----------|
| dog | 10 |
|---------------|----------|
| cat | 20 |
|---------------|----------|
I then have a list with values on sheet 2
| D | E |
|-------------------|----------|
| wild dog 2 | |
|-------------------|----------|
| strange cat Willy | |
|-------------------|----------|
I would like E to contain the value of B from the reference table, using the first substring match
I tried with VLOOKUP and INDEX ( MATCH ..) but this is not getting me anywhere. Help or pointers appreciated.
With your current sample data following formula will work. But don't know how is your actual data.
=INDEX($B$1:$B$10,MATCH(TRIM(MID(SUBSTITUTE(D1," ", REPT(" ",100)),100,100)),$A$1:$A$10,0))
I ended up using the formula from Harun24HR and simplifying it.
=(INDEX($B$1:$B$10;MATCH(1;COUNTIF(D1;"*" & $B$1:$B$10 & "*");0));

Vlookup doesnt read mixture of Alphabet and Numbers eg: 1T902462K01

i have a table as below and i wanted to compare result using Vlookup.
A | B | C
-------------------------
1 | ID | Name | Lot
-------------------------
2 | 70100 | Krenn | VF849062
-------------------------
3 | 70101 | Georg | VE803354
-------------------------
4 | 70102 | Mohd | VE803354
However =VLOOKUP(C2,A1:C4,1,FALSE) will result #N/A
Any advise?

Try the Index/Match suggested in the comments. It goes like this:
=index(A1:A4,match(F1,C1:C4,0))
in words: find the value of F1 in the range C1 to C4 and return the value from column A for the same row.
Your Vlookup formula references C2, which does not make sense if column C is the column where you perform the lookup.

Excel function, exclude dates in chart data source

I am forming a chart from sheet A. Sheet B contains all my data.
I want to exclude a specified date(s).
Sample data:
+---+----------+--------------+--------------+-------------+-------------+-------------+
| | A | B | C | D | E | F |
+---+----------+--------------+--------------+-------------+-------------+-------------+
| 1 | Date | 29/03/2017 | 30/03/2017 | 31/03/2017 | 03/04/2017 | 04/04/2017 |
| 2 | Number 1 | -594590.4649 | -636666.4504 | 795637.1614 | 842563.4322 | 496463.9301 |
| 3 | Number 2 | 2189587.44 | 1301681.418 | 2080839.353 | 1945335.214 | 2421728.123 |
+---+----------+--------------+--------------+-------------+-------------+-------------+
The final output would be me excluding 30/03/2017 , and keeping the rest in my data selected for my chart.
the issue is that I want to maybe exclude a date in the middle of my selected range. But since this may be a hassle to input a long formula each time into my data selected. I would like to see if there is any formula/function to eliminate a specified date/column. Perhaps manually enter the column you want to exclude in a formula.
My current range is something like =Graph!$AB$5:$KA$7 But is there a function to exclude one of these columns?
I can manually select which dates with Ctrl but seems tedious.

Excel: get the value of third column on the behalf of second column

i am not much familiar with excel formulas and i am trying to get the value of third column on the behalf of second column.
Example:
|---------------------------------------------------------|
| A B C D E |
|-----|----------|----------|--------------|--------------|
|Sr.No| Bar Code | Cat Id | Org BarCode | Org Category |
|---------------------------------------------------------|
| 1 | 89457898 | | 85214784 | 2 |
| 2 | 87414714 | | 63247458 | 3 |
| 3 | 85214784 | | 89457898 | 4 |
| 4 | 63247458 | | ---- | --- |
-----------------------------------------------------------
i just want to update column C by column E on the behalf of column D and B
can any one please tell me the formula, how i can do this?
Use VLOOKUP. Enter the following formula into cell C1 and then copy it down the C column:
=VLOOKUP(B1, D$1:E$4, 2, FALSE)
To cover more than 4 rows, then just update the formula accordingly. If you want to display a certain placeholder value if a value in column B be not found, then you wrap the call to VLOOKUP as follows:
=IFNA(VLOOKUP(B1, D$1:E$4, 2, FALSE), "Not found")

SUM of multiple VLOOKUP

It seems like a simple problem, but I do not manage to solve it. I have the following tables:
Values
| Key | Value |
|-----|-------|
| A | 1 |
| B | 2 |
| C | 3 |
Results
| Foo | Bar |
|-----|-----|
| A | B |
| C | B |
| A | A |
| B | C |
| ... | ... |
What I am looking for is a final row in the Results table that looks for the key in the Values table, takes its value and sums all the keys in a column (i.e. FOO and BAR). The final result would be:
| Foo | Bar |
|-----|-----|
| A | B |
| C | B |
| A | A |
| B | C |
|-----|-----|
| 7 | 8 |
I have been trying with different VLOOKUP, INDEX and MATCH functions, but still I am not able. Any ideas?
I asume you want a solution without extra columns. Then you are into Array formulas (a.k.a CSE or ControlShiftEnter functions).
Combination of {=SUM(VLOOKUP(...))} doesn't work, but combination of {=SUM(SUMIF(...))} does:
in A12 enter =SUM(SUMIF($A$1:$A$3;A7:A10;$B$1:$B$3)) and save with Ctrl+Shift+Enter. You then can copy this to B12.
Problem is you will need to change the Array function every time you add values to the list A7:B10 (or you initially make the range sufficiently large) ... this would speak more for extra =VLOOKUP() columns as suggested by CustomX.
I'm not sure of other solutions, but you could solve this by using an extra 2 columns, E and F for example.
Enter this in column E: =VLOOKUP(C2;$A$1:$B$3;2;0)
Enter this in column F: =VLOOKUP(D2;$A$1:$B$3;2;0)
Pull the formulas down and add a SUM at the bottom of column C and D to calculate columns E and F.
Extra: These are the columns I used for your examples.
Key = column A
Value = column B
Foo = column C
Bar = column D
