I want to compare two price lists for different years from a supplier.
I have multiple items (thousands) with multiple different size codes for each and then prices for each item for each size.
I want to combine the two price lists, (I have 1 'Cost' column in Euros and 1 in Sterling 'Our Price' with delivery included for each period). Some items (or particular sizes) are unique to either list. The items which appear in each list I want to compare the prices of (then work out +/- of change, which I'll work into %'s). But I'm falling at the first hurdle!
How do I create a third sheet from the first 2 sheets (I've got both documents as different sheets within the same workbook) with a combined list, showing the prices for one year in one column and the prices for the second year in the next... Obviously items appearing in 1 year I want to only have 1 price for and a blank for the other!
Example of the data.
This is the formula I'm using at the moment =LOOKUP(A2,'2010'!A$2:A$7940,'2010'!B$2:B$7940)
Which is almost working.
For some reason Excel is looking through the other sheet and not finding all the exact matches to the source... Some it does, most it doesn't and it is then taking an average of similar matches?!
LOOKUP only works when the values in the lookup area are sorted in ascending order. You will be better off with using VLOOKUP and setting the last parameter to false:
=VLOOKUP(A2,'2010'!A$2:B$7940,2,false)

I have two sheets of data, one is a list of 4000+ companies and some data about the company (including a CUSIP and an issue date). The other lists stock prices per day for a said list of companies spanning multiple years.
I need to match the CUSIP and the issue date from the first sheet with that of the second and extract a number from sheet 2 where both where a match and put it in sheet one in a colomn next to the other data from that company.
Sheet 1
Sheet 2
I tried =VLOOKUP(E1076&O1076;Sheet1!A:Sheet1!K;11;FALSE) but all this did was give me a #NAME error same for when I tried to do this on the same sheet
I tried =INDEX(W:AP,MATCH(1,(X:X=D5)*(AE:AE=N5),0),42) but that just tells me it isn't a formula to begin with
Combined Sheets
In Column R:
{=INDEX(AG,MATCH(D2&N2, U&AB,0))}
will work for you but will likely be slow (make sure to enter with ctrl+alt+enter)
You can try and mitigate the lag by using defined ranged (e.g. U2:U4000&AB2:AB4000) but since your list is ever growing I'll guess that the lag will come back pretty quick.
To keep things faster, I suggest you use a helper column where you concatenate U and AB. Let's say column AC:
=U2&AB2
(copied all the way down)
You can then use a simple INDEX/MATCH:
=INDEX(=INDEX(AG,MATCH(D2&N2, AC,0))
You could also concatenate D and N to another column and use that column as your lookup value.
My problem is the following:
I have multiple columns i want to make dependent lists of, but i have duplicates in the first 3 columns. I am able to make them dependent, but all the duplicates show up in the dropdown.
For Example:
You can see, the First column has duplicates and so does the second.
This is what i have tried.
Made the Product Category list as a List under Data validation using the uniques only.
Used the Offset, match formula to make the Sub-Product ID as a dependent list on what is selected in the cell before it for Product category.
When i do No. 2, say i chose A1 in the Product category, i end up getting 100,100 in the drop-down. I only want one iteration of 100 to be in the dependent dropdown.
Formula Used: =OFFSET(Second!E5,MATCH(C3,Second!$D$6:$D$282,0),0,COUNTIF(Second!$D$6:$D$282,C3))
Please help.
I have two columns of dates. One list has quarterly reporting dates, one has annual reporting dates, so every year (except in strange situations) there is a quarterly date that matches an annual date. I would like to sort the two columns into one, like they do here, except that I want to keep the duplicates.
So if
List 1
3.31.2010
6.30.2010
9.30.2010
12.31.2011
List 2
12.31.2011
Then the end result would be a list (column in excel) as follows
3.31.2010
6.30.2010
9.30.2010
12.31.2011
12.31.2011
The lists am dealing with are not easily sorted by hand like this example and I understand that a formula can be written successfully do this by doubling every fourth entry; however, I need a formula that can handle when the fiscal year changes and the annual dates stop following the every four quarters rule.
Hi I have a really large data set in Excel (~43,000 rows) where the first two columns indicate the employee ID and name. The following 17 columns indicate monthly sales from Jan 13 - May 14. The problem is the data is pretty disorganized and has repeats of the same employee in different rows (i.e. Employee Mary has different rows each with different data). Is there a quick Excel function that I can use to sum the 17 columns after the employee ID and name if the ID number and name match, essentially grouping and combining the data belonging to one individual employee in one singular row. I think the sumif function might work but I don't know how to make the criteria general enough that Excel will know to go through the entire spreadsheet and find the two matching indicators in each row. I appreciate any input/help!
Sort by ID (which I assume is a unique identifier) then apply Subtotal for each change in ID, to each of the seventeen columns.
I thought I knew where to start with this but sadly I it's been long enough to where I need some assistance. First of all what I am working with is four lists of product data that I need to compare against my own product data.
So for example each of the product lists contain the following data:
Product Category
Product Name
Inventory
Product Price
Each of the lists have at least a thousand records.
What I need is a fifth list that tells me which of the competitors products I don't have on my list.
Last but not least and where this gets trickier is that the inventory contains duplicate records.
Its hard for me even to construct this question as I spend time with it.
What I want though is a list of products that are shared by all of the competitors that I do NOT have on my product list.
If you are familiar with PivotTables perhaps the multiple-consolidation ranges option could be used to suit your needs...
Select the multiple-consolidation ranges option by accessing the PivotTable wizard dialog (Shortcut: Alt+D+P) then enter settings in the dialog similar to below. The data is shown on the same sheet but could equally be stored in different sheets or even closed workbooks.
Rearrange columns and group product names into "Matched" and "Unmatched" as shown. There are several methods to automate the grouping, the simplest is probably to add a count column beside the pivottable and filter on rows where there are 4 items, then you can select visible items in the row field by pressing Alt+; and choose the group option. Rename this group "Matched", then filter for less than 4 items in the count column and rename the group "Unmatched"
Now you can compare all matched product names with your own list using a simple vlookup or otherwise.
