In Excel, how do I write an equation which will look for a selected value in column A and then see if it exists in column A on another sheet and if it does put yes and no if it does not exist.
I have all the other values I need just need to know if it exists or not and do not want to take the time to do a find on a few thousand values.
Assumptions:
Sheet1 contains the values that you need to check if they exist
Sheet2 contains the list of values where you will check if sheet1 values exist
In both sheets, the list of values are in column A
On Sheet1 cell B1 and copied down:
=IF(COUNTIF(Sheet2!A:A,A1)>0,"Yes","No")

enter image description hereI need to make an auto-fill of values from adjacent cells in table to another non adjacent cells of another table, for example, I need to get the following:
Source values: C7,C8,C9 ...
Destination: G4, G7, G10 ...
Thanx
I'm curious about your use case for this. I also have questions:
Are the source and destination always ordered? Meaning the names appear in the same order in both? Are these both on the same sheet as in your example? Are there always 3 cells per name in the destination?
I can't think of a formula that would give the desired result, but here's an approach I would take.
Make sure your source values and destination are on separate sheets.
Create a helper column in your source value range numbering your rows of data 1...x
Copy cells 1...X and paste them directly below you last row of data two times. So you should see 1...X repeat twice.
Sort your helped column least to greatest - you should now have two empty rows between each row of data.
Copy the column of data you need and paste into your destination. Because of the empty rows it should preserve your spacing.
You can achieve this with VLOOKUP. Use this formula in the Destination table.
=VLOOKUP(G3,Source,2,FALSE)
G3 is the cell in which the name, e.g. "Mike", is written. In your sample this appears to be a merged cell. Note that in merged areas all cell content is always in the first cell. So, if G3:G5 are merged, nothing can be retrieved from G4 or G5 because all content is in G3.
Source is a named range of 3 rows and 2 columns, as per your example. If your source is a true table you can use its name. VLOOKUP requires that the name must be in the first column of the range you specify. You can also specify a hard range, if you don't like using names. In my example the Source range was $A$4:$B$6.
2 is the column in Source from which to return the result.
False specifies that you don't want an approximate match (but an exact one).
Of course, this method works in the direction opposite to your diagram. The formula is in H3 in my test sheet. This is because there are no formulas in Excel that write to cells they don't themselves occupy.
Can someone help me write VBA function to get data from another worksheet using multiple filter?
Data looks something like this.
I want to write a function that extract the A1 or A2 or A3 value based on the dropdown I select. If I select A3 it should pick data from A3 column. My Filter criteria on other columns are Item, id and location. Column for Item, id and location are static. While column for A1, A2, A3 are dynamic. I want to put criteria on Ite, id and location. These are the three criteria and result should be from the fourth column. i.e. either A1 or A2 or A3 based on what I select.
I tried but couldn't figure out. Can someone help me on this, please?
You don't need VBA for this but you do need to make a few preparations. I will show here what I did. There are other ways and you can choose the way you prefer.
I created a table exactly as you posted. Instead of a table you can just create a named range or you can replace the names of either in the formulas with the range's coordinates. I didn't name the table but recommend that you do if you use a table. In my example the table's name is Table1.
Within the table I created a named range comprising the cells D1:F1. I called this range "Data" but any other name will do as well. You may also move the named range entirely elsewhere if you want different captions for the columns for one reason or another. As you will see, the names are insignificant they are used to create the numbers 1, 2 and 3 from the location where they are within the named range Data.
Now I created a validation drop-down referring to a List of =Data. The effect is that I have a drop-down with A1, A2 and A3 in it. I created this drop-down in A10 of a different sheet from the one on which I have Table1.
Now I used the following formulas to extract data from row 2 of the table.
=INDEX(Table1[Item],2)
=INDEX(Table1[Location],2) or =INDEX(Table1,2,3) and
=INDEX(Table1,2,3+MATCH(A10,Data,0))
Observe that every "2" in the above formulas refers to the 2nd row in the named range Table1. I didn't set up a range of that name but that is something Excel threw in when I created the table. However, you would like to pull data from other rows as well.
For that purpose you can use the ROW() function. This function returns the number of the row in which it resides. If it's in row 10 it will return 10, in row 11 it returns 11 etc. It's a counter. Therefore, if you entered my formulas in row 10 you can replace all the "2"s with Row()-8 and as you copy up or down you will get data from different rows, same columns.
=INDEX(Table1[Item],Row()-8)
=INDEX(Table1[Location],Row()-8) or =INDEX(Table1,Row()-8,3) and
=INDEX(Table1,Row()-8,3+MATCH(A10,Data,0))
If your first formula isn't in row 10 you must adjust the number to be deducted according to where your formula was entered.
I have data in two separate excel sheet in single file.
In the first sheet, I have two columns...like this
Sheet1
In the second sheet, I have one of the column which is same as Name in Sheet1. However, it does not have second column where I want to bring the value referring to the sheet 1.
Here is the second sheet.
Here in second column, i.e. Color I want to bring the value from first sheet.
I am using Libreoffice but can use excel as well. Pls suggest how I would do this in excel / libreoffice.
Solution for Excel...
So use sheet one as the reference sheet. Sheet two as the one you want to fill.
In B2 on Sheet 2 enter this formula:
=vlookup(A2,Sheet1!$A$1:B$6$,2,FAlSE)
Then drag down.
This is assuming that your reference in sheet one is in columns A and B and goes from rows 1 to 6.
Hope this helps.
One of the easier ways to do this would be to use VLOOKUP. So this requires 4 inputs:
The value you are searching for
The array you are searching in
The column where the value you want to return is in
"FALSE" to list if you want an exact match between the value you are searching for and the array you are searching in.
So in your example, we will use the worksheet where you only have the Names listed as the worksheet you are putting the formula, so something like this in B2:
=VLOOKUP(A2,sheet2!$A$2:$B$6,2,FALSE)
So this would lookup the value you show in worksheet 1 cell A2.
Then go to workbook 2 and match that value with what is in A2:A6.
Then lookup what is in column 2 for your answer.
And return what is in column 2 only if worksheet 1 cell A2 and something in worksheet 2 range A2:A6 is an exact match.
There are other ways, but for your example, this should be easiest in EXCEL. This only works if the value you are searching for is to the right of the value you are looking up. If you need to go to the left, INDEX/MATCH would be better (but not required here).
Hope this helps!

Is there a way to remove from a dynamically generated range full rows based on whether there are blank cells on a specific column within the data that generates that dynamic range?
For example, from the data shown in below table:
I would need the data in the dynamic range to have only the below highlighted data/rows:
The newly created dynamic range would be used in a pivot table and I would like to it to group the dates (therefore the need to remove the blank rows within the range). Please also note that the original list will be updated regularly and would expand (vertically).
You can use the following:
=IFERROR(INDEX($B$2:$C$9,SMALL(IF($C$2:$C$9<>"",ROW($C$2:$C$9),9999999),ROW(A1))-1,COLUMN(A1)),"")
Array Formula Ctrl+Shift+Enter instead of just Enter and drag it in the same row and down
The formula checks if any value in the row is empty (Name or Birthday) to skip the row and look down it
Small will find the smallest row, Row(A1) will change to Row(A2) when drag it down
Column(A1) to copy the first column will become Column(B1) when you drag in the same row
Change B2:B9, C2:C9 and B2:C9 to correspond your Data(last row) and keep $ for fixed references
I have an Excel spreadsheet, where column A contains 371000 values, and the region D1:RO1048576 contains another set of values.
For each populated cell in column A, I would like to put into column B:
A one if the value in column A exists in the big region
A zero if it does not
How would I go about doing this, either in VBA or an Excel formula? I have tried to use VLOOKUP and INDEX/MATCH without success.
In B1:
=IF(COUNTIF($D$1:$RO$1048576,$A1),1,0)
Then copy down
Edit: Did not put realize that this was the entire column and your local settings:
=IF(COUNTIF($D:$RO;A1);1;0)
