I have two separate worksheets that I would like to search in and then populate a column if two columns represent the same data. I'm having a hard time explaining this so please have patience.
I have worksheet1 with column "A" having text and numbers in it. In the same sheet column "B" has the data that I want to show in worksheet2 if Both Column "A" match in both worksheets.
Example:
Worksheet1
Column A
Text text text (2012-R-0000)
blah blah blah
text text text (2012-R-0001)
Column B
20-204
20-405
40-609
Worksheet2
Column A
2012-R-0000
2012-R-0001
Column E
(empty) I would like the data in Worksheet1 Column B to be placed here.
Thank you in advance for any assistance with my question.
Assuming your worksheet 1 and worksheet 2 datas starts with A1
use the below formula at worksheet 2 in E1
=VLOOKUP("*"&A1&"*",Sheet3!A:B,2,FALSE)
French Formula:
=RECHERCHEV("*"&A1&"*";Sheet3!A:B;2;FALSE)
and drag down
Proof of Work
Use VLookUp in Worksheet 2 like this.
In cell E1 of Worksheet 2 write the following:
=VLOOKUP(A1;Worksheet1!$A$1:$B$30;2;FALSE)
Then simply drag the formula down. It will match the first column from both worksheets, then paste the corresponding data from column B in worksheet1 to column E in worksheet 2. You'll have to edit "Worksheet1" to match the name of the acctual worksheet, and the number 30 to match the number of rows in worksheet 1.

In the example I have a 2 column reference where data in column E is correlated to column F. I need the data in Column F to show up anytime data from Column E is entered in a separate worksheet if possible.
To be clear, is it possible to enter data in Column A of Sheet 1 that pulls the correlated data from column B in reference Sheet 2 and enters it into Column B of Sheet 1?
I tried using a simple function in a single sheet but it obviously doesn't do what I need.
You are after VLOOKUP or INDEX MATCH
Sheet1 b1 and fill down rows
=IFERROR(VLOOKUP(A1,Sheet2!E:F,2,FALSE),TEXT(,))
Or
=IFERROR(INDEX(Sheet2!F:F,MATCH(A1,Sheet2!E:E,0)),TEXT(,))
If you set you data up as tables the formulas will autofill down. Rather than use entire columns you can set to the ranges containing data.
Data:
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 two excel files (file 1 with sheet 1 and file 2 with sheet 2).
Both have inside, in column A all the names (for example in A1: "a", in A2: "b" etc etc), in column B the values of relative lenghts (for example in B1: "2", in B2: "3" etc etc) but the orders of the things in the two sheets are different; so, I would want to say: "if the name in a cell in column A of sheet 1 is the same of the name in a cell in column A of sheet 2, so compare the relative values in column B and write TRUE in column C of one of the sheet (if the values are identical) or FALSE"
for you is possible? could you help me, please?
thanks in advance
If Sheet1 has
a 5
b 6
c 7
d 8
and Sheet2 has
c 3
d 8
a 5
then you can type
=IFERROR(IF(B1=INDIRECT("Sheet2!B"&MATCH(A1,Sheet2!A$1:A$4,0)),"Match Found",""),"")
into cell C1 of Sheet1 and drag the fill handle down and you will get
Match Found
Match Found
in column C of Sheet1. No VBA needed. :)
Note: Since your second sheet is actually in a separate file, you'll want to change Sheet2 to [file2.xlsx]Sheet1 in cell C1.
If you want to avoid INDIRECT function then try the following:
Assuming your Sheet1 of file1 is as follows:
And Sheet2 of another file is like:
Enter the following formula in Cell C1 of `Sheet2' and drag/copy it down as required.
=IFERROR(IF(B1=INDEX([file1.xlsx]Sheet1!$B$1:$B$5,MATCH(A1,[file1.xlsx]Sheet1!$A$1:$A$5,0)),TRUE),FALSE)
I would want to copy the word TRUE, only if I compare the same cell of the two sheets and I find that only a part of the name of that cell is the same ( because in reality in cell there is not only a, b, c but a sentence for example as "Sample 1 SX arrow" and others as "Sample 1 DX arrow") and so I want to put in column C the word TRUE only if not complete name in column A are the same but only part of the sentence ( for ecample only the part "SX arrow"!!!
How can I add this in the loop ?
i would like to create an extra column in sheet one which displays a character (for example G) after it finds the matching values from sheet 2.below are two screen shots i have taken for all your conveniences.
please note,in sheet 1 i have marked two rows with identical bs_cd 6374 which matches the bs_cd 6374 in sheet 2 also.what i want is to have a character G in sheet 1 under column G.
thanks in advance
Insert into the cell G2 this formula and drag it down:
=IF(VLOOKUP(B2;Sheet2!$A$2:$A$100;1;FALSE)=0;"";"G")
Change $A$2:$A$100 to your range in sheet2
The original spreadsheet was from column A to E. I just pasted the numbers in column F from another sheet. My new spreadsheet has 1517 rows and goes from columns A-H. The numbers in column F (row 2 to row 420) are also in column C.
I was able to use the MATCH function of Excel to find the exact position of a number in column C i.e In column C, on which row can I find the numbers that are in column F? For instance, the number "12345678910" in cell F2 can be found in cell C1049,on row 1049. I put those position numbers in a column that I called "index".
Now, the goal is to write a vba code to copy those rows at once. I am trying to extract/copy to another sheet the numbers in column F that are also in column C but I only want columns A to E - from the original sheet. Copy each row number that is in the index column but only the columns A-E. To be clear, "12345678910" is also in cell C1049. "Copy row 1049 from column A-E" and do that for each position number in the index column.
I cannot sort the spreadsheet because the columns A-E are linked. A sort would alter the information. Any help would be appreciated.
A sample of my spreadsheet
Sub filterCopy()
Dim ws1 As Worksheet
Dim ws2 As Worksheet
Set ws1 = Sheet1
Set ws2 = Sheet2
ws1.Range("A1:F1517").AutoFilter 6, "<>"
ws1.Range("A1:F1517").SpecialCells(xlCellTypeVisible).Copy ws2.Range("A1")
End Sub
