I have 2 columns in my spreadsheet, both contains some numbers, column A has list of all numbers, and column B has some of the numbers from column A, now i want to highlight those numbers in column A, which are in column B here's my scenario:
Column A Column B
20301316 20322063
20302140 20322451
20307329 20326125
20307557 20334858
20314386 20371898
20314840 30368489
20322451 30384472
20326125 30384510
20334858 30384531
20371898 30384661
Here
20322451
20326125
20334858
20371898
should get highlighted. i used vlookup for this but for some reason it's highlighting all the numbers, here's the formula i used inside Conditional Formatting: (considering column A has values between A1:A10 and B has B1:B10)
=NOT(ISNA(VLOOKUP(B1, A1:B10, 1, 0)))
Could anyone please help me with proper formula.
Vlookup returns a value. In this context it is not the best formula to use, especially if you use it to return the value that you are looking up.
MATCH() is a much better fit for this scenario.
=MATCH(A1,$B$1:$B$10,0)
No fuffing around with ISNA() or wrapping in NOT() required. If it's a match it returns a number and will get formatted. If it's not a match, it won't get formatted.
It looks like you got the formula a bit backwards as it's looking in column A for values from column B. Try this instead:
=NOT(ISNA(VLOOKUP(A1,$B$1:$B$10,1,FALSE)))
Also, note that I made the lookup range an absolute reference by adding dollar signs.
Really though, I'd prefer a COUNTIF formula for this, just because I think it's more obvious:
=COUNTIF($B$1:$B$10,A1)>0

I would like to return the sum of all values that are directly below a look up value "Pre173RB" in a single column.
First I used index and match but this is limited to only finding the first value "8".
=INDEX(B:B,MATCH(E1,B:B,0)+1,1)
I then attempted to incorporate the above formula into the repeating sequence below. The formula returned the first value in the column "30". The desired return is "18".
=INDEX(B:B, SMALL(IF(ISNUMBER(MATCH(E$1,B:B,0)+1), MATCH(ROW(B:B), ROW(B:B)), ""),ROWS(A$1:A1)))
I've attempted to use sumif in the above formula as well but errors return.
Any assistance is appreciated. I am probably complicating the formula.
=SUMIFS(B2:B26,B1:B25,E1)
Note that the sum range is offset one row versus the condition range.
I got an issue with Xlookup formula for the lookup array & return array. As the 1st one I need to manually select the range for lookup and return array, I try to use Xlookup with multiple criteria to match with the keyword instead of only matching one criteria. However, the result was appear to be different. Please help how to adjust the formula to remove the manual selecting range. Thank you.
G column is text
AE column is number
J column is text
Z column is number
W column is date
=XLOOKUP(AE3,工作表2!$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 am trying to do a summation of rows with certain dynamic conditions. I have rows like:
A can be only one value, K can have multiple OR-values. In the end M is to be summed.
I have tried to use SUMPRODUCT() which works for column A but not for K. What I am looking for is something like:
=SUMPRODUCT(--(!$A$2:$A$20000="AA")*--(!$K$2:$K$20000="AA" OR "BB")*$M$2:$M$20000)
I know I can do ="AA" and then ="BB" but I need "AA" and "BB" to be dynamic based on other cells. And the number of arguments is different. I tried {"AA";"BB"} but I know this will not work as the match then needs to be in the same row.
Can it at all be achieved?
Thanks a lot!
=SUMPRODUCT(($A$2:$A$20000="AA")*(($K$2:$K$20000="AA")+($K$2:$K$20000="BB"))*$M$2:$M$20000)
Note that:
Since you are multiplying/adding arrays, there's no need to include the double unary's
I don't know why you have a ! in your example formula.
To return an OR array of TRUE;FALSE, we add.
Your comments still do not provide a clear explanation of what you are making dynamic.
But to create a dynamic OR for column K, including testing for column A and summing column M, you can do the following:
For column K, let us assume that your possible OR's are entered separately in the range F2:F10
=SUMPRODUCT(MMULT(--($K$2:$K$20000=TRANSPOSE($F$2:$F$10)),--(ROW($F$2:$F$10)>0))*($A$2:$A$20000="AAA")*$M$2:$M$20000)
The matrix multiplication will produce a single column of 19,999 entries which will be a 1 for matches of any of the OR's and 0 if it does not match.
See How to do a row-wise sum in an array formula in Excel?
for information about the MMULT function in this application.
In the above formula, "blanks" in the OR range (F2:F10) will also match blank entries in column K. So it is conceivable that if there is a blank in K and F and a AAA in col A and a value in column M that a wrong result might be returned.
To avoid that possibility, we can use a dynamic formula to size column F where we are entering our OR values:
=INDEX($F$2:$F$10,1):INDEX($F$2:$F$10,COUNTA($F$2:$F$10))
will return only the values in col F that are not blank (assuming no blanks within the column)
So:
=SUMPRODUCT(MMULT(--($K$2:$K$20000=TRANSPOSE(INDEX($F$2:$F$10,1):INDEX($F$2:$F$10,COUNTA($F$2:$F$10)))),--(ROW(INDEX($F$2:$F$10,1):INDEX($F$2:$F$10,COUNTA($F$2:$F$10)))>0))*($A$2:$A$20000="AAA")*$M$2:$M$20000)
Given this data:
the last formula will return a value of 5 (sum of M2,M3,M7)
Use SUMIFS with SUMPRODUCT wrapper:
=SUMPRODUCT(SUMIFS($M$2:$M$20000,$A$2:$A$20000,"AA",$K$2:$K$20000,{"AA","BB"}))
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 need to assign a status to a row based on a VLOOKUP query between two worksheets. The problem is that the identifier is not always unique. However, the identifier + a date value should be unique. I wanted to use:
=VLOOKUP(A3&H3,'OtherSheet'!D:E,1,FALSE)
with A3 being the identifier and H3 being the corresponding date. D in the other sheet is the identifier and E is the date column. However, I keep getting #N/A.
Does this mean that there are no matches with the "identifier+date" or is Excel looking for "identifier+date" in either column D or E? If the latter is true, how can I let Excel concatenate D and E when matching to the search pattern?
There's work around without using CTRL+Shift+Enter.
Use this formula that will match A3 in D column of othersheet and H3 with the date in column E of the othersheet.
=INDEX(OtherSheet!F:F,MATCH(1,INDEX((OtherSheet!D:D=A3)*(OtherSheet!E:E=H3),),0))
The formula will return data from F column of OtherSheet.
You can modify the range OtherSheet!F:F as appropriate.
That formula is looking to find A3 concatenated with H3 (identifier&date) in OtherSheet ColumnD that contains only identifiers, so will inevitably fail. Yes, Excel is looking for “identifier+date” in column D.
Excel will happily concatenate A3 with H3 ‘on the fly’ (within a formula) but will not so happily concatenate OtherSheet ColumnD and ColumnE values in the same way. The conventional solution, because usually simplest in a case like this, is to prepare for the VLOOKUP by adding a helper column that concatenates the D and E values while preserving these in the same row as the value sought.
Because VLOOKUP will only look to the right this is usually a column that is added to the left of the value being searched for, so say either in C or by insertion of a column immediately to the right of C. However, since you are only checking a single column the location is not critical. You might add this (in OtherSheet) as ColumnZ, with a formula such as:
=D2&E2
copied down to suit*. Again because you are only checking a single column it does not matter which row such a formula is placed in.
However, because only checking whether A3&H3 exists in OtherSheet a simple alternative may be to apply COUNTIFS:
=COUNTIFS(OtherSheet!D:D,A3,OtherSheet!E:E,H3)
Any result other than 0 from this should indicate that the combination being tested for exists in OtherSheet – without need for a helper column.
* Depending on the format of your identifiers it is possible that concatenation may introduce ambiguity. For example ID90 concatenated with 11/1/15 may not be distinguishable from ID901 concatenated with 1/1/15, so it may be advisable if taking this approach to introduce a delimiter, in both the VLOOKUP formula (say A3&"|"&H3 rather than just A3&H3) and therefore also in the helper column, say =D2&"|"&E2.
You likely would want to use Index/Match instead. Vlookup is tricky when it comes to searches for multiple things. Here's the way you would use Index/Match:
Without knowing how your spreadsheet is set up, here's how you could do it:
If I understand correctly, you want to use A3 to find the match in OtherSheet!D, and H3's match in OtherSheet!E. Index match is perfect for this. Instead of vLookup, use
=Index(OtherSheet!D:D&","&Text(OtherSheet!E:E,"mm-dd-yyyy"),Match(A3&H3,OtherSheet!D&OtherSheet!E,0)), and enter with CTRL+SHIFT+ENTER.
What the Index() will return is the concatenated Identifier and Date, separated with a comma. If, though, you have a table like this:
That index/match formula will return "Batman". The index to return is the named range G2:G5. You're looking for a match on A1 (the Identifier) and B1 (the Date), then you're searching for (in the order you just put) the Identifier to be in the range E2:E5, and the Date to be in F2:F5. When there's a match for both, it returns the name in G2:G5.
Here's a link to a site on using Index/Match, and another and its advantages over vlookup.
