I'm trying to Query some data in my spreadsheet, returning a manufacturer based on product code. We code our products with a three digit suffix that corresponds to different customers. I know the codes but people viewing the sheet may not.
Right now, I'm trying to split the suffix from the product and perform the wuery in the same formula.
I can do this in two steps, splitting the suffix from the code and querying just the suffix, but I want to know if I can do this all in one code. My current formula returns the data I want but it does not fill the entire range of the sheet. I would rather have this happen automatically as the workbook will be dynamic.
My current formula is:
=QUERY(CxSeries,"select B where C CONTAINS '"&right(Code,3)&"' ")
https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/190kom4q0XOJP4UdLTJpZf5tuJCQTflcuokRp_FJ4pBc/edit?usp=sharing
I'm not sure if query is the right way to go about this, but I'd prefer to stick to that (just because i honestly can't wrap my head around ArrayForumlas).
Thank you,
Clear all formulas you have in column C and enter in C7
=ArrayFormula(vlookup(regexextract(D7:D16,"-(\d+)$")+0, {Sheet5!C6:C,Sheet5!B6:B}, 2, 0))

I´m trying to wirte a code and need some help.
I´ve managed to write parts of it using many sources around the web, but got to a point where I can´t find something to use as model or maybe find the right function.
I have an excel workbook with 2 worksheets, on the first one I have data from income and payments. With the code below I´ve managed to sort out the payments by eliminating blank cells from a range on "Plan1" and then copied to the other worsheet - "Plan2"
On Plan2 I get the following results:
Now, as you may see most of the codes are ending in "01".
What I need is:
After selecting column C; - done
Get all the values and search for them on Plan1, but removing the trailing "01" from them (since they vary in length) before search and then color the results on Plan1.
Advices please.
EDIT: I need to ignore the lines that do not end on "01". The full column will be selected.
I'm trying to make some code that takes data from a table and compares it with data in another table.
I have two tables. The first one contains all my customers, the second is a kind of Excel database which contains the names of customers and amount of sold goods.
I was trying to find out the way for making a message box that would show which customer from table 2 is missing in table 1 after pressing a command button.
I tried to do something in VBA, but I'm not too skilled to make that.
Until you get your VBA to the point where you can add it to your question, perhaps an array formula¹ will suffice.
In G2 as an array formula¹,
=IFERROR(INDEX(A$2:INDEX(A:A, MATCH("zzz",A:A )), MATCH(0, IFERROR(MATCH(A$2:INDEX(A:A, MATCH("zzz",A:A )),D:D, 0), COUNTIF(G1:G$1, A$2:INDEX(A:A, MATCH("zzz",A:A )))), 0)), "")
Fill down as necessary to catch all missing customer entries.
¹ Array formulas need to be finalized with Ctrl+Shift+Enter↵. If entered correctly, Excel with wrap the formula in braces (e.g. { and }). You do not type the braces in yourself. Once entered into the first cell correctly, they can be filled or copied down or right just like any other formula. Try and reduce your full-column references to ranges more closely representing the extents of your actual data. Array formulas chew up calculation cycles logarithmically so it is good practise to narrow the referenced ranges to a minimum. See Guidelines and examples of array formulas for more information.
The best way I can explain my problem is by showing a few screenshots.
I need to turn data like this:
[
Into something that displays like this:
After Data
There are multiple part numbers in the file, and I need the macro to take all the data from a matching part number and transform the data into what is displayed in the second image. All the part numbers are grouped with their data together, so it wouldn't need to run the loop through the top every single time, but adding to the entries with each new piece of data. Something also needs to be done for the years as well, because the way the data is presented, is in a range of years, and I need an entry for each year in that range.
Additional Information:
I am using this data for prep for category data for a BigCommerce site, that is working with a year/make/model plugin on the site, to create a vehicle lookup system. Thus in order for the user to look up their vehicle accurately the categories need to be listed the way they are in the second picture, which needs to be the result of the macro.
I thank anyone who takes the time to look into this, it will cut down the time I spend doing this manually by a huge amount.
You can do this with a formula (without actual VBA):
In cell F2 write: ="YMM/"&C2&"/"&D2&"/"&E2&";"
In cell F3 write: =F2&"YMM/"&C3&"/"&D3&"/"&E3&";"
drag down the formula in F3 until the last row.
The last row will contain the entire string of all vehicles.
I just noticed you may have duplicate values. You can use the built in Remove Duplicates feature to remove those before using the above technique.
There could be quite a simple solution to this, but I am trying to find the number of times a unique variant (i.e. non-duplicates) of a string appears in a column. However this string is only part of the text contained in a cell, and not the entire cell. To illustrate:
EuropeSpainMadrid
EuropeSpainBarcelona
AsiaChinaShanghai
AsiaJapanTokyo
EuropeEnglandLondon
EuropeSpainMadrid
I would like to find how many unique instances there are of a string that contains "EuropeSpain". So using this example, I would find that a variant of "EuropeSpain" appears only twice (given that the second instance of "EuropeSpainMadrid" is a duplicate).
A solution to this is to use pivots to summarise the data and remove duplicated; however given that my underlying dataset changes often this would require manual adjustments and corrections. I would therefore like to avoid adding any intermediate steps (i.e. PivotTables, other data sets etc) between my data and the counts.
UPDATE: I now understand to use wildcards to solve the first part of my question (counting the occurrences of "EuropeSpain"), however I am not yet clear on the second part of my question (how to find the number of unique occurrences).
Is there a formula or VBA code that could do this?
Using wildcards:
=COUNTIF(A1:A6,"="&"*"&C1&"*")
For without VBA but with some versatility, I suggest with Text in ColumnA (labelled), ColumnB labelled Flag and EuropeSpain in C1:
=FIND(C$1,A2)
in B2 copied down.
Then pivot A:B with Flag for FILTERS (and 1 selected), Text for ROWS and Count of Text for Sigma VALUES.
Apply Distinct Values if required (and available!), alternatively a formula of the kind:
=MATCH("Grand Total",E:E)-4
would count uniques.
I have a Worksheet with 10 columns and data range from A1:J55. Col A has the invoice # and rest of the columns have other demographic data. Goal is to type the invoice number on a cell and display all the rows matching the invoice number from col A.
Besides auto filter function, the only thing comes to my mind is VBA. Please advice what is the best way to get the data. Thanks for your help in advance.
Alright, I'm pretty proud of this one. Again avoiding VBA, this one uses the volatile formula OFFSET to keep moving its VLOOKUP search down the table until it's found all matches. Just make sure you paste enough rows of the formula that if there are many matches, there's room for all of them to appear. If you put a border around your match area then it would be clear if you ever ran out of room and needed to copy down the formula some more.
Again, in the main section, it's just a single formula (using index):
=IFERROR(INDEX($A$1:$J$200,$M3,MATCH(N$2,$A$1:$J$1,0)),"")
This gets to be so simple because the hard work of the lookup is done by an initial column which looks up the next row that matches the invoice number. It has the formula:
=IFERROR(MATCH($L$2,OFFSET($A$1:$A$200,M2,0),0)+M2," ")
Here is the working example that goes with those formulas:
Let me know if you need any further description of how it works, but it mostly uses the same rules as above so that it's robust in copying and moving around.
I've uploaded the Excel file so you can play with it, but everything you need to reproduce this feature should be in this solution.

A popular solution to this problem is a simple VLookup. Lookup the invoice the user types in on the table A1:J55, and then return an adjascent column's data.
Here's an example of it working:
The formula in the highlighted cell is:
=VLOOKUP($L3,$A:$J,MATCH(N$2,$1:$1,0),FALSE)
What's nice about this formula is you only need to type it once and then you can copy it across and it'll automatically pick out the correct column of the table (that's the match part). The rest is very simple:
The first part says lookup value $L3 (the invoice number typed in),
The second part says look it up in range $A:$J (which is where your table is located). I've shown how you can select the entire columns $A:$J so that you can add and remove data without worrying about adjustin the range in your lookups. (Excel takes care of optimizing the formula so that unused cells aren't checked)
The third part picks the column from which the resulting data will be drawn once a matching row is found.
The FALSE part is an indication that the invoice number must match exactly (no approximate matching allowed)
The $ signs ensure that fixed ranges like the location of your source table ($A:$J) and your lookup value ($L3) don't get automatically changed as you copy the formula across for multiple columns.
The formula is pretty easy to adapt if you want to move around your table and the area where you do your lookup. Here's an example:
Bonus
If you want to add a little spiff, you can add a dropdown to the Invoice # field so that the user gets auto-completion and the option to browse existing values like so:
