I want to ask if there's a way/formula/vba to return multiple values when using vlookup? For example, I vlookup a data and when that data has multiple values to return, it will return the other values. Thanks.
For something as generic as this, just use Google.

Return MULTIPLE corresponding values for ONE Lookup Value
The Excel VLOOKUP Function searches for a value (ie. Lookup_value) in the first column of a table array and returns a value in the same row from another column in the table array. In case of multiple occurrences of the Lookup value, the function searches the first occurrence of the Lookup value, and returns the corresponding value in the same row from another column.
In case you want to return multiple corresponding values, for the one Lookup value which has multiple occurrences, we show how it can be done using INDEX, SMALL, IF & ROW excel functions, as follows.
Consider the table array ("A2:B8"), in which you want to lookup the value "Apples" in column A which has multiple occurrences, and return all corresponding values in column B.
Enter the lookup value "Apples" in cell A11. In cell B11, enter below formula, as an array formula (CTRL+SHIFT+ENTER), and copy it downward in the same column B, in 7 rows (ie. number of times as the number of records in the table array "A2:B8". Multiple corresponding values (of the lookup value "Apples") will get copied vertically, starting from cell B11 till B17. Refer Table 1.
=INDEX($B$2:$B$8, SMALL(IF($A$11=$A$2:$A$8, ROW($A$2:$A$8)-ROW($A$2)+1), ROW(1:1)))

Is there a way to find the row of a cell containing certain value in a named range (Table)?
I have a table named "Table1" from C4 to D10.. I want to return the row number of a cell in column c that contains the value "CCC".. This value is found at the third row (C6).. So I want the code to return the number "3" which means the third row in the table "Table1" and not the number "6" that means it's found in cell "C6".
Thank you in advance.
Edit:
I missed the part about "relative to the table" but that's even easier...
Here's one that will work:
=MATCH("CCC",Table1,0)
or, referring to the cell range instead of the table directly:
=MATCH("CCC",C4:C10,0)
Original Answer:
If you want to know the row number of the first cell in Column C that contains CCC, you could use the MATCH function, either in a worksheet formula, or in VBA.
On the worksheet:
=MATCH("CCC",C:C,0)
or, in VBA:
WorksheetFunction.Match("CCC",Range("C:C"),0)
The fact that it's in a table is irrelevant since you've identified the column.
Incidentally, I can think of at least half a dozen other ways to get the same data just as easily.
Here's one that refers to the table directly:
=ROW(INDEX(Table1,MATCH("CCC",Table1,0)))
...and more variations:
=MATCH("CCC",C4:C10,0)-1+ROW(C4)
or
=MATCH("CCC",Table1,0)-1+ROW(Table1)
Note that a big difference between MATCH and VLOOKUP is that MATCH returns a range object, whereas VLOOKUP only returns the value of the matched cell, and therefore isn't suitable for a task like this.

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:
Example file So I have two sheets that each have lists of part numbers, plant where they come from and two columns on costs. What I need to do is scan them and if Sheet A and Sheet B both have a row with matching part numbers and the plant they come from, then A's two cost values are updated to match B's costs.
The next step is then to highlight all cells in Sheet A that are not on Sheet B and highlight all cells in Sheet B that were copied to Sheet A. I think this last part can be done at the same time the cell is being copied I'm just not sure how to do any of this.
This is a formula method.
Because you will not be changing all the values and I assume you want to keep those that do not have a match, then in an empty column next to the figures on sheet 1 put the following formula:
=IFERROR(INDEX(Sheet2!F$3:F$7,MATCH(1,INDEX((Sheet2!$D$3:$D$7=$A3)*(Sheet2!$B$3:$B$7=$C3),),0)),G3)
Then copy over one column and down the the end of the data.
The INDEX((Sheet2!$D$3:$D$7=$A3)*(Sheet2!$B$3:$B$7=$C3),) will create an array of 0 and 1's the same size as the data reference on sheet 2. In this instance it will create a 1 dimensional array that is 5 objects.
The position of these objects of 0 and 1 are relative to the rows. So for the first formula the return array will be {0,1,0,0,0} because only the second row of the data matches both the plant and the part number.
The MATCH(1,INDEX(...),0) then finds the first object in that array that is 1 and returns the relative position, in this case 2 as it is the second in the array.
The Outer INDEX(Sheet2!F$3:F$7,...) then returns the value in the range Sheet2!F$3:F$7 whose relative position is equal to the 2 passed from the MATCH(). So Sheet2!F4.
If no MATCH is found then the whole thing will throw a #N/A error so we capture that error with IFERROR(...,G3) and tell the formula to return the value in column G instead.
This will give you all the proper values:
Then you can copy and paste just the values back to the original spots and hide the columns with the formulas:
Sheet2 for reference:
If you want vba to do the last part of copy and past and hiding then use the macro recorder and then clean up the code.
I have a file with 3 columns. Column A contains 300,000 rows, with about 200 separate IDs, all duplicated at least 1,000 times. Column B contains the date for each of the rows. Column C contains the values that I need to extract.
Each of the 200 IDs in Col A can have multiple values (e.g. ID 1234 might have dates 1/1/2001, 1/3/2001, 1/2/2015, etc). Similarly, each date on Col B will have multiple IDs (e.g. 1/2/15 might have IDs of 1234, 1874, 1930, 6043, etc).
In a nutshell, I need to check the values in Col A and Col B to find the relevant ID in Col A and the maximum value in Col B, and return the value in the relevant cell in Col C.
I've looked at Index/Match examples, but they don't seem to be suitable. Is there any suggestions on a macro I could run, that would accomplish what is needed.
Use this array formula:
=INDEX($C$1:$C$300000,MATCH(1,IF(($A$1:$A$300000="1234")*($B$1:$B$300000=MAX(IF($A$1:$A$300000="1234",$B$1:$B$300000))),1,0),0))
Being an array formula it must be confirmed with Ctrl-Shift-Enter instead of Enter when exiting edit mode.
Change the "1234" to a reference cell with the appropriate ID.
You can accomplish this using array formulas. To start, you can retrieve the maximum date in column B when column A is 1234 using the below formula. Keep in mind that you have to use Ctrl-Shift-Enter when you finish typing an array formula.
{=MAX(IF($A$2:$A$24=1234,$B$2:$B$24))}
Note that you will need to change the ranges to include all of your data, rather than my test data on rows 2-24.
Now that you have a formula to retrieve the max date, you can put that inside an index/match and, again using Ctrl-Shift-Enter, use the below array formula to retrieve the value in column C for a row matching 1234 and the maximum date.
{=INDEX($C$2:$C$24,MATCH(1234&MAX(IF($A$2:$A$24=1234,$B$2:$B$24)),$A$2:$A$24&$B$2:$B$24,0))}
I have a row that only one cell within that row will contain a number value (which could be any number).
On another sheet I need a formula which will find if the number from the row and return me that number value?
Something like that would give you the first number found in column A.
=INDEX(A:A,MATCH(TRUE,INDEX(ISNUMBER(A:A),0),0))
It scans the column until it finds a number and writes it down in the cell.
