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 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 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$30;2;FALSE)
Then simply drag the formula down. It will match the first column from both worksheets, then paste the corresponding data from column B in worksheet1 to column E in worksheet 2. You'll have to edit "Worksheet1" to match the name of the acctual worksheet, and the number 30 to match the number of rows in worksheet 1.
i would like to create an extra column in sheet one which displays a character (for example G) after it finds the matching values from sheet 2.below are two screen shots i have taken for all your conveniences.
please note,in sheet 1 i have marked two rows with identical bs_cd 6374 which matches the bs_cd 6374 in sheet 2 also.what i want is to have a character G in sheet 1 under column G.
thanks in advance
Insert into the cell G2 this formula and drag it down:
=IF(VLOOKUP(B2;Sheet2!$A$2:$A$100;1;FALSE)=0;"";"G")
Change $A$2:$A$100 to your range in sheet2
I have two sets of data that need to be collated, the first has a list of questions (workbook 1), the second Workbook where those same questions are spread out over 5 sheets with ID numbers associated with them. I need a macro that will take a value from workbook 1, search for it in the entire workbook 2 and then locate its ID value and then copy this value into the first workbook.
I've tried numerous codes but I can't get anything near working, the closest I came was using a index, match function but that only does one column, whereas i need approximately 15 columns (I.e the whole worksheet)
Any help would be great!
I'm assuming your Excel workbooks are structured something like the following (based on your description).
Workbook 1
Sheet 1
A1 "What is the answer to life and all its questions?"
A2 "Who is the creator of Linux?"
A3 "What is your favorite text editor?"
Workbook 2
Sheet 1
A1 "What is the answer to life and all its questions?" B1 103401
A2 "Who is the creator of Linux" B2 104113
Sheet 2
A1 "What is your favorite text editor" B1 101031
We can take the index values from column B of workbook 2 (corresponding to our questions in column A of workbook 1) and copy these to column B of workbook 1. I'll provide a solution of how you could easily do this with cell formulas.
Workbook 1
Sheet 1
A1 "What is ..." B1 =Index([workbook2.xlsx]Sheet1!$B$1:$B$100$,
Match(A1, [workbook2.xlsx]Sheet1!$A$1:$A$100,0))
A2 "Who is ..." B2 =Index([workbook2.xlsx]Sheet1!$B$1:$B$100$,
Match(A2, [workbook2.xlsx]Sheet1!A$1:$A$100,0))
...
You could do the same thing in column C for Sheet 2 of workbook 2
Workbook 1
Sheet 1
A1 "What is ..." C1 =Index([workbook2.xlsx]Sheet2!$B$1:$B$100$,
Match(A1, [workbook2.xlsx]Sheet2!$A$1:$A$100,0))
A2 "Who is ..." C2 =Index([workbook2.xlsx]Sheet2!$B$1:$B$100$,
Match(A2, [workbook2.xlsx]Sheet2!A$1:$A$100,0))
...
Then one of the columns B-E would contain the ID number and the rest of the columns would contain N/A. Note that I only search the first 100 rows of the first 5 sheets of workbook 2.
I am working on Excel report in which I need to pass a link which can take me to a cell referenced.
In below example, I have two sheets on same workbook. Now if I click on cell "A1" on Sheet:1, then it should take me to cell "E1" on Sheet:2.
I know by paste special I can pass hyperlink, but tricky part is data on Sheet:2 is dynamic so I can't go that route.
After looking on Google, I have found out multiple things, so I clubbed them together but it is throwing error "Reference is not valid".
Here is the formula that I've used on cell "A1" on Sheet:1:
=HYPERLINK("[Sample.xlsx]Sheet:2!(ADDRESS(MATCH(""ABC"",BEFORE,0),MATCH(""ABC"",BEFORE,0),1))","ABC")
Here BEFORE is a name range that covers A1 to E1.
Sheet:1
a b c d e
1. abc
Sheet:2
a b c d e
1. x x x x abc
Appreciate your inputs.
=HYPERLINK("[Sample.xlsx]'Sheet2'!" & ADDRESS(1,MATCH("abc",BEFORE,0)),"ABC")
If your sheet name might have spaces then make sure to add the single quotes around the name.
