I have two tables in excel.
In table 1, one column contains a list of order numbers. This is done the format of XXXX-YYYY where X is an integer and Y is a letter. For example 3485-XTIP
Table 2 also has an order number column but this time it's in the format XXXX-YYYY (ZZ) where Z is the initials of the customer who made the order. Example: 3485-XTIP (KN)
How can I use a VLookUp to search for the order number in Table 2 but only using the XXXX-YYYY part? I tried using TRUE for an approximate search but it still failed for some reason.
This is what I have
=VLOOKUP("I3",'Table2 '!A:B,2,FALSE)
I am open to any alternatives other than VLookup for this situation.
Note that there are hundreds of order numbers and entering the strings manually will take forever.
You can use * as wildcard and add it at the end of the order number so that your VLOOKUP will match any order plus any other characters that come after it:
=VLOOKUP(I3&"*", 'Table2 '!A:B, 2, 0)
* will match anything after the order number.
Note: 0 and False have the same behaviour here.

I'm trying to write a python script that finds unique values (names) and reports the frequency of their occurrence, making use of Pandas library. There's a total of around 90 unique names, which I've anonymised in the head of the dataframe pasted below.
,1,2,3,4,5
0,monday09-01-2022,tuesday10-01-2022,wednesday11-01-2022,thursday12-01-2022,friday13-01-2022

I'm trying to drop any row (the full row) that contains the regex expression "^monday.*", intending to indicate the word "monday" followed by any other number of random characters. I want to drop/deselect any cell/value within that row.
To achieve this goal, I've tried using the line of code below (and many other approaches I found on SO).
df = df[df[1].str.contains("^monday.*", case = True, regex=True) == False]
To clarify, I'm trying to search values of column "1" for the value "^.monday.*" and then deselecting the rows and all values in that row that match the regex expression. I've succesfully removed "monday09-01-2022" and "tuesday10-01-2022" etc.. but I'm also losing random names that are not in the matching rows.
Any help would be very much appreciated! Thank you!
I'm trying to compare two columns ("Shows") from different tables and showing which one has the greater number ("Rating") associated with it in another table.
Ignore the operation column above as part of the solution that I'm trying to get, it's just to illustrate for you what I'm trying to compare.
Important note: If the names are duplicated. Compare the matching pair in their corresponding order. (1st with 1st, 2nd with 2nd, 3rd with 3rd etc..) illustrated in the table below:
Thanks
You can try the following in cell F3 for an array solution that spills the entire result at once:
=LET(sA, A3:A6, rA, B3:B6, sB, C3:C6, rB, D3:D6, CNTS, LAMBDA(x,
LET(seq, SEQUENCE(ROWS(x)), MAP(seq, LAMBDA(s,ROWS(FILTER(x,(x=INDEX(x,s))
*(seq<=s))))))), cntsA, CNTS(sA), cntsB, CNTS(sB), eval, MAP(sA, rA, cntsA,
LAMBDA(s,r,c,IF(r > FILTER(rB, (sB=s) * (cntsB=c)), "Table 1", "Table 2"))),
HSTACK(sA, eval))
Here is the output:
Explanation
The main idea is to count repeated show values. We use a user LAMBDA function CNTS, to avoid repetition of the same formula twice. Once we have the counts (cntsA, contsB), we use MAP to iterate over Table 1 elements with the counts and look for specific show and counts to compare with Table 2 columns. The FILTER function will return always a single value (based on sample data). Finally, we prepare the output as expected using HSTACK.
Try-
=IF(INDEX(FILTER($B$3:$B$6,$A$3:$A$6=G3),COUNTIFS($G$3:$G3,G3))>INDEX(FILTER($E$3:$E$6,$D$3:$D$6=G3),COUNTIFS($G$3:$G3,G3)),"Table-1","Table-2")
I have a set of batch numbers in a sheet which are alphanumeric code as follows
sdc234
fgh345
ght587
jki876
The alphabets of the batch number represent a product code. For example
sdc = 20499999
fgh = 45999999
ght = 67999992
jki = 56700000
The above relation is in another sheets.
I want to match product code with batch number directly. How do i lookup a product code based on this partial info ?
You can sort your second table in an alphabetical order and use VLOOKUP with TRUE (approximate match) as your third argument.
Assuming the second table is in column A and B:
D E
sdc234 =VLOOKUP(D1,A:B,2,TRUE)
fgh345 =VLOOKUP(D2,A:B,2,TRUE)
ght587 =VLOOKUP(D3,A:B,2,TRUE)
jki876 =VLOOKUP(D4,A:B,2,TRUE)
The output is as below:
D E
sdc234 20499999
fgh345 45999999
ght587 67999992
jki876 56700000
EDIT:
Assuming your product code is always 3 letters, you can use the LEFT function to get the first 3 letters and then use that as the lookup value. This way you can use the exact match as your third argument:
sdc234 =VLOOKUP(LEFT(D1,3),A:B,2,FALSE)
fgh345 =VLOOKUP(LEFT(D2,3),A:B,2,FALSE)
ght587 =VLOOKUP(LEFT(D3,3),A:B,2,FALSE)
jki876 =VLOOKUP(LEFT(D4,3),A:B,2,FALSE)
Credits to Mladen Savic's comment for making me think of this solution.
This question relates to the Schematiq add-in for Microsoft Excel.
Using =tbl.Lookup(table, columnsToSearch, valuesToFind, resultColumn, [defaultValue]) the values in the valuesToFind column have a consistent 3 characters to the left and then varying characters after (e.g. 908-123456 or 908-321654 - i.e. 908 is always consistent)
How can I tell the function to lookup the value based on the first 3 characters only? The expected answer should be the sum of the results of the above, i.e. 500 + 300 = 800
tbl.Lookup() works by looking for an exact match - this helps ensure it's fast but in this case it means you need an extra step to calculate a column of lookup values, something like this:
A2: =tbl.CalculateColumn(A1, "code", "x => LEFT(x, 3)", "startOfCode")
This will give you a new column that you can use for the columnsToSearch argument, however tbl.Lookup() also looks for just one match - it doesn't know how to combine values together if there is more than one matching row in the table, so I think you also need one more step to group your table by the first 3 chars of the code, like this:
A3: =tbl.Group(A2, "startOfCode", "amount")
Because tbl.Group() adds values together by default, this will give you a table with a row for each distinct value of startOfCode and the subtotal of amount for each of those values. Finally, you can do the lookup exactly as you requested, which for your input table will return 800:
A4: =tbl.Lookup(A3, "startOfCode", "908", "amount")
I need to be able to search my whole table for a row that matches multiple criteria. We use a program that outputs data in the form of a .csv file. It has rows that separate sets of data, each of these headers don't have any columns that are unique in of them self but if i searched the table for multiple values i should be able to pinpoint each header row. I know i can use Application.WorksheetFunction.Match to return a row on a single criteria but i need to search on two three or four criteria.
In pseudo-code it would be something like this:
Return row number were column A = bill & column B = Woods & column C = some other data
We need to work with arrays:
There are 2 kinds of arrays:
numeric {1,0,1,1,1,0,0,1}
boolean {TRUE,FALSE,TRUE,TRUE,TRUE,FALSE,FALSE,TRUE}
to convert between them we can use:
MATCH function
MATCH(1,{1,0,1,1,1,0,0,1},0) -> will result {TRUE,FALSE,TRUE,TRUE,TRUE,FALSE,FALSE,TRUE}
simple multiplication
{TRUE,FALSE,TRUE,TRUE,TRUE,FALSE,FALSE,TRUE}*{TRUE,FALSE,TRUE,TRUE,TRUE,FALSE,FALSE,TRUE} -> will result {1,0,1,1,1,0,0,1}
you can can check an array in the match function, entering it like in the picture below, be warned that MATCH function WILL TREAT AN ARRAY AS AN "OR" FUNCTION (one match will result in true
ie:
MATCH(1,{1,0,1,1,1,0,0,1},0)=TRUE
, YOU MUST CTR+SHIFT+ENTER !!! FOR IT TO GIVE AN ARRAY BACK!!!
in the example below i show that i want to sum the hours of all the employees except the admin per case
we have 2 options, the long simple way, the complicated fast way:
long simple way
D2=SUMPRODUCT(C2:C9,(A2=A2:A9)*("admin"<>B2:B9)) <<- SUMPRODUCT makes a multiplication
basically A1={2,3,11,3,2,4,5,6}*{0,1,1,0,0,0,0,0} (IT MUST BE A NUMERIC ARRAY TO THE RIGHT IN SUMPRODUCT!!!)
ie: A1=2*0+3*1+11*1+3*0+2*0+4*0+5*0+6*0
this causes a problem because if you drag the cell to autocomplete the rest of the cells, it will edit the lower and higher values of
ie: D9=SUMPRODUCT(C9:C16,(A9=A9:A16)*("admin"<>B9:B16)), which is out of bounds
same as the above if you have a table and want to view the results in a diferent order
the fast complicated way
D3=SUMPRODUCT(INDIRECT("c2:c9"),(A3=INDIRECT("a2:a9"))*("admin"<>INDIRECT("b2:b9")))
it's the same, except that INDIRECT was used on the cells that we want not be modified when autocompleting or table reorderings
be warned that INDIRECT sometimes give VOLATILE ERROR,i recommend not using it on a single cell or using it only once in an array
f* c* i cant post pictures :(
table is:
case emplyee hours totalHoursPerCaseWithoutAdmin
1 admin 2 14
1 him 3 14
1 her 11 14
2 him 3 5
2 her 2 5
3 you 4 10
3 admin 5 10
3 her 6 10
and for the functions to check the arrays, open the insert function button (it looks like and fx) then doubleclick MATCH and then if you enter inside the Lookup_array a value like
A2=A2:A9 for our example it will give {TRUE,TRUE,TRUE,FALSE,FALSE,FALSE,FALSE,FALSE} that is because only the first 3 lines are from case=1
Something like this?
Assuming that you data in in A1:C20
I am looking for "Bill" in A, "Woods" in B and "some other data" in C
Change as applicable
=IF(INDEX(A1:A20,MATCH("Bill",A1:A20,0),1)="Bill",IF(INDEX(B1:B20,MATCH("Woods",B1:B20,0),1)="Woods",IF(INDEX(C1:C20,MATCH("some other data",C1:C20,0),1)="some other data",MATCH("Bill",A1:A20,0),"Not Found")))
SNAPSHOT
I would use this array* formula (for three criteria):
=MATCH(1,((Range1=Criterion1)*(Range2=Criterion2)*(Range3=Criterion3)),0)
*commit with Ctrl+Shift+Enter
