Hi, I am totally new to Excel VBA. Firstly, I want to copy the data when the condition is met(copy data with reference to 144)
Secondly, compare the cells, if it is IT Operations(Table1) to IT Operations(Table2) then copy the price(money) to column F. If the variable is no there then leave blank.
This can be done with formulas. Here is one way of thinking about filling column F, with the prices for the matching items in column E, by matching the number given in the last row in E (144 Total); which i shall assume is E10 in this case.
Total formula in F1 which you then drag down is:
=IFERROR(IFERROR(VLOOKUP(E1,INDIRECT(CELL("address",OFFSET($H$1,MATCH(1*LEFT($E$10,FIND(" ",TRIM($E$10),1)-1),$G:$G,0)-1,,1,1))&":"&CELL("address",OFFSET($I$1,MATCH($E$10,$G:$G,0)-1,,1,1))),2,FALSE),VLOOKUP(E1,G:I,3,FALSE)),"")
In steps:
Extract the number of interest e.g. 144, and get rid of any trailing/leading whitespace using:
LEFT($E$10,FIND(" ",TRIM($E$10),1)-1)
Find which row this value is in as this will be the first row of the lookup range for this number. *1 converts text to a number.
MATCH(1*LEFT($E$10,FIND(" ",TRIM($E$10),1)-1),$G:$G,0)
This gives row 9.
We can use something simpler to find the last row of the range, which holds 144 Total
MATCH($E$10,$G:$G,0)
This gives row 15. So we know the data lies between rows 9 and 15 for 144.
We can turn this into a range to use in a VLOOKUP with INDIRECT and OFFSET.
=CELL("address",OFFSET($G$1,MATCH(1*LEFT($E$10,FIND(" ",TRIM($E$10),1)-1),$G:$G,0)-1,,1,1))&":"&CELL("address",OFFSET($H$1,MATCH($E$10,$G:$G,0)-1,,1,1))
This gives us $G$9:$H$15. Note adjustments of -1, to put OFFSET back in the right row, and that the OFFSET start cells are in different columns to provide the columns required for the VLOOKUP.
So we can now lookup column E values e.g. Enhancement, in our newly defined range which is accessed via INDIRECT:
=VLOOKUP(E1,INDIRECT(CELL("address",OFFSET($H$1,MATCH(1*LEFT($E$10,FIND(" ",TRIM($E$10),1)-1),$G:$G,0)-1,,1,1))&":"&CELL("address",OFFSET($I$1,MATCH($E$10,$G:$G,0)-1,,1,1))),2,FALSE)
This is saying VLOOKUP(E1,$G$9:$H$15,2,FALSE) i.e. get the price column from the range for the item specified in E1.
If this is not found i.e. returns #N/A, we can use this to first check if this is because of the merged cell that holds the 144 Total; where the value is actually in column G not H, and use an IFERROR to say, if not found in $G$9:$H$15 then try for a match using columns G:I and return column 3.
Which with pseudo formula, using priorLookup as placeholder, for the formula described in the steps above, looks like:
IFERROR(priorLookup, VLOOKUP(E1,G:I,3,FALSE))
If this still returns #N/A, we know the value is not present and we should return "". This we can handle this with another IFERROR:
IFERROR(IFERROR(priorLookup, VLOOKUP(E1,G:I,3,FALSE)),"")
So giving us the entire formula stated at the start.
Here it is used in the sheet:
I have been working with a excel file with a lot of data, which is arranged in 2 sheets.
I would like to get data from sheet 1 to sheet 2 with reference to the column headings.
For example:
So if I want to find the sum of function 1 person A with criteria 1, the command have to go and find the heading "sum of function 1" in sheet 1 and choose the data that are only under criteria 1 and sum it up in sheet 2 cell D5. (By using column heading reference instead of cell reference).
The table range is A2 : U80.
Thanks.
First you have to format your data as table (select the data -> Menu Insert -> Table). Then you rename your table, for example Table1. Let's say one of the columns you want to sum on the sheet2 is called ColumnName.
On the sheet 2 you write a formula
=SUM(Table1[ColumnName])
The result will be what you are after.
You should try it by SUMIFS(). Syntax will be
=SUMIFS(AgeRange from sheet1,NameRange Sheet1, Name cell Sheet2, PlaceRangeSh1, Place Cell Sh2)
Tell me if requires further help.
I have an excel sheet which contain dates in one column (Say column A) and some values corresponding to each date in another column (Say column E). I want to fetch the value from the cell at the intersection of today's date (in column A) and it's corresponding value (in column E).
The value fetched should be assigned to a different cell (say R1). The value should automatically update in R1 since we need to fetch based on today's date.
Please provide me a formula for cell R1.
Example:
-----A----------B---------C--------D--------E
5/8/2015-------------------------------------3
6/8/2015-------------------------------------3
7/8/2015-------------------------------------6
8/8/2015-------------------------------------10
9/8/2015-------------------------------------3
10/8/2015------------------------------------12
11/8/2015------------------------------------3
If today is 10/08/2015, then cell R1 should be filled with the value 12.
Tomorrow R1 should be filled with the value 3 automatically.
Thank you.
You should try this formula in your cell R1:
=VLOOKUP(NOW(), A1:E11, 5, TRUE)
One thing is that if needed, you should modify range A1:E11 as you like.
ADDED
If your R1 cell is in other sheet, use this formula:
=VLOOKUP(NOW(), sheetname!A5:E11, 5, TRUE)
Here, also has one point that you should modify sheetname to your data sheet name.
I'm assuming you want to solve this with a formula, so try this formula in cell R1
=INDEX(D:D;MATCH(TODAY();A:A;0))
I'm looking to generate a report to list the number of Cities/Towns that don't meet a certain criteria so on Sheet 2 I have an alphabetical list of all the cities/towns.
I want to do a look up/count if function to state if A2(Sheet 2) can be found anywhere in Column D on Sheet 1 then count it if the date in column L (sheet 1) matches the date in Cell $E$1 (sheet 2) and Column A in Sheet 1 is greater than zero.
I originally done this formula but it is returning an error.
=COUNTIFS(PickData!D:D,Sheet1!A2,PickData!L:L,Sheet1!$E$1,PickData!A:A,PickData!A:A>0)
Is there any other formulas that I'm currently not thinking of? Or is it possible to do this via VBA and it returns the value in to column B either True if it matches or False if it doesn't?
Thanks

The problem with your previous formula is in the final criteria. Update to:
=COUNTIFS(PickData!D:D,Sheet1!A2,PickData!L:L,Sheet1!E2,PickData!A:A,">0")
I have a problem with VBA code. I have a sheet with a lot of data around the cells I want. I need to select data in column F, but the position of the first and last cells between the range is to be selected is changing up and down. I created the non empty cells in row X where there is no data do the LastRow function has any refernece but now I dont know how to select the first row
thx for help
If F1 is empty, this selects the first cell with data in the F column
Worksheets("Sheet1").Range("F1").End(xlDown).Select
If F1 may be non-empty you can add a check to see whether it contains text.
