I have an excel spreadsheet and in one column (lets call it org numbers) of one sheet i have a list of values. On another tab i have these values scattered between A1:AX281.
I am trying to do a match/lookup/count to ensure the positions i have between A1:AX281 match the values i have in the org numbers sheet. I have searched this for a while now and haven't found something to an exact match. i have tried using certain formulas but i wonder if merged cells and formulas in these cells affect my result?
If you want to know if the cells A1:Ax281 have a matching value in column 1 of sheet one do the following:
On sheet three cell a1 add the following formula:
=Match(Sheet2!A1,Sheet1!$A:$A,0)
Copy the formula from A1 to AX1, then from A1:Ax1 to A281:AX281.
The result will be a heat map with #N/A's in every cell where the value does not match and a number in ever cell that does.
Alternatively, you can enhance the formula to display the matching value or blank by changing the formula to:
=if(isna(Match(Sheet2!A1,Sheet1!$A:$A,0)),"",Sheet2!a1)
If you want to identify the cells on Sheet 1 not found on sheet 2, copy all the values from sheet 2 into a single column in sheet3 then use the match function to look down the single list.

Sheet 1 will be references to individuals based on unique identifiers, such that column A will be their name and column B will have the identifier.
Sheet 2 will be an imported list of all individuals in our data set, such that column A is their name and column B is the identifier.
The goal is to be able to fill cells in Sheet 1 Column A based off of values entered in Sheet 1 Column B, by referring to Sheet 2 Column B., i.e. if the column B values match between sheets, I want the neighboring value in Column A to be copied over.
I'm a novice at this, but I don't think CONCATENATE is what I'm looking for, so the closest I've gotten is:
=IF($B:$B=Sheet2!$B:$B,Sheet2!$A:$A)
which results in a SPILL error, because I think my formula is trying to display multiple reference cells of data in one destination cell, whereas a formula such as
=IF(B3=Sheet2!B3, Sheet2!A3)
returns expected results, but is too limited for my purposes, in that it would be potentially faster to just manually enter the data, at that rate.
Trying to simplify, I'll have a sheet that has say 100 people in it, with identifiers 1 through 100. If I punch in their identifier in a separate sheet, I'm looking for their name to be displayed in a neighboring cell, or at least to have their name returned in the same cell, i.e. I enter "90" in Sheet1A1 or Sheet1B1 and it gives me "John Doe" in A1, which is the value of Sheet2B90 that's associated with the number "90" that is in Sheet2A90.
So VLOOKUP does work with some wrangling, but XLOOKUP was the ultimate solution to what I needed. A formula such as
=XLOOKUP(A13,$A$1:$A$10,$B$1:$C$10,NONE)
Would return data from B1 through B10 and C1 through C10 to elsewhere in the sheet, in this case next to a lookup cell A13 into cells B13 and C13, if the value in A13 appears within the lookup array of A1 through A10. Locking the cells with $ allows the formula to be dragged down a range of lookup cells without Excel incrementing the values of the lookup or return arrays, just the value of the lookup cell.
I have a work sheet in which there are several cells with a specific entry - let's say "A". These are not all in the same rows/columns. After each cell is a date.
I need to count the number of cells containing "A" which also have a specific date in the cell immediately to its right. I've tried combinations of Countifs and Indirect, with no success. How can I achieve this?
This counts the number of times that there is A in column A and 1 in column B
=SUMPRODUCT(($A$1:$A$5="A")*($B$1:$B$5=1))
This outputs in cell D1
Not too difficult.
I have created a sample sheet with 8 rows and 5 columns of data.
See below, the formula in cell C12 counts the number of occurrences where the a cell with a date of October 31, 2017 is directly to the right of a cell that contains the text A.
If you want more info as to how this works, read on:
When searching for cells that contain A, you don't search in the last column of the data (in this case, column E) because it is impossible for a column to the right to have any date in it. This is why a portion of the formula says A1:D8="A" instead of A1:E8="A". This is the same reasoning why we start searching for a date in column B rather than column A in the formula.
You can achieve this with a helper row. Add additional row on top of your Worksheet. In cell "A1" enter formula below.
=COUNTIFS(A2:A2000,"A",B2:B2000,"YourDate")
Drag this formula to the rightmost of where you have data, then simply sum all values returned by formula.
As the title suggests, I have a worksheet (sheet1) that has lots of data that spans columns A-E and with rows that are added daily, What I want to do is on a separate worksheet (sheet2) show the data from the last 5 rows of sheet1.
Providing there is continuous data within column A on Sheet1, you could also use the INDIRECT() and COUNTA() functions.
=INDIRECT("Sheet1!$A$"&COUNTA(Sheet1!$A:$A)-4)
=INDIRECT("Sheet1!$A$"&COUNTA(Sheet1!$A:$A)-3)
=INDIRECT("Sheet1!$A$"&COUNTA(Sheet1!$A:$A)-2)
=INDIRECT("Sheet1!$A$"&COUNTA(Sheet1!$A:$A)-1)
=INDIRECT("Sheet1!$A$"&COUNTA(Sheet1!$A:$A))
You would need to amend the column letter within the INDIRECT function for each column of data which you wish to view on Sheet2.
In an appropriate cell on Sheet2, use this formula,
=INDEX(Sheet1!A:A, MATCH(1E+99, Sheet1!$A:$A)-(ROW(1:1)-1))
Fill right for a total of 5 columns then fill those 5 cells down 5 rows.
That formula will find the last number in a column. This is often the case as the left-most column mat hold an ID number. The same reference point should be used to collect cell values from other columns to avoid the confusion that a rogue blank cell would create.
If all you have are text values then the formula in the first cell would be,
=INDEX(Sheet1!A:A, MATCH("žžž", Sheet1!$A:$A)-(ROW(1:1)-1))
Fill right and down as described above.
I am working on a formula that delivers text from a cell in another sheet, that is to the left of a matched cell. This is as far as I have got.
=LOOKUP(A2,Sheet1!$A$1:$A$46729,Sheet1!$B$2:$B$46729)
In sheet 1 there is a selection of product data. There are product numbers in column A and there needs to be the correct barcode placed in each cell in column B. In sheet 2 there are also product codes in column A and barcodes in column B. However there are significantly more rows of data in Sheet 2.
What is needed is a formula to place in Sheet1!B2 that looks up Sheet1!A2 in Sheet2!A2:A50000. If A2 is matched at e.g. Sheet2!A90, then the result in Sheet1!B2 should be the value in Sheet2!B90. The specific issue I am having is getting the Sheet2!B90 in Sheet1!B2.
You can use Index/Match:
=Index(Sheet2!$B$2:$B$46729,Match(A2,Sheet2!$A$2:$A$46729,0))
Or VLOOKUP:
=VLOOKUP(A2,Sheet2!$A$2:$B$46729,2,false)
The last parameters of the MATCH and VLOOKUP functions respectively are very important as it forces it to search for an exact value and not assume a sorted list. VLOOKUP would no longer work if you reversed columns A and B on Sheet2 because the lookup column has to be the first column in the lookup range.
I have two excel sheets. The one that contains the data "gdsc_en_input_w2" and the other one will contain a selective number of cells from "gdsc_en_input_w2".
I am using the current formula:
=INDEX(gdsc_en_input_w2!$A$1:$YE$13848,MATCH("AKT2",gdsc_en_input_w2!$A$1:$A$13848,0),MATCH($A$3,gdsc_en_input_w2!$A$1:$YE$1,0))
I want to fill an entire column in the second sheet by referencing columns in the "gdsc_en_input_w2" sheet but based on the values stored in the column $A$1:$A$13848. As you can see the second match() matches only $A$3 ...is there a way to fill the required column with the formula with incremental column reference in the second match() function in the formula above. in other words I want to fill in the second cell of the target column the following formula :
=INDEX(gdsc_en_input_w2!$A$1:$YE$13848,MATCH("AKT2",gdsc_en_input_w2!$A$1:$A$13848,0),MATCH($A$4,gdsc_en_input_w2!$A$1:$YE$1,0))
note that the match now has $A$4 instead of $A$3.
Assuming that I am understanding what you are wanting, this formula is going to be in one column where each subsequent row will have a higher number (3,4,5,...) If that is the case, unlock your formula to read:
=INDEX(gdsc_en_input_w2!$A$1:$YE$13848,MATCH("AKT2",gdsc_en_input_w2!$A$1:$A$13848,0),MATCH($A3,gdsc_en_input_w2!$A$1:$YE$1,0)) (I removed the $ in-front of the 3)
Paste that into the whatever your starting cell is, then auto-fill
