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.

It might be the most silly question in planet. how can I merge two cell values vertically in a repeated manner. as like this:
Column A and B has 400+ cells therefore it is impossible to do what I want to achieve manually.
Note: I want to merge B into A.
You can create a simple loop in VBA that runs through each cell in the data range then adds it to the output column
Sub Merge()
Dim data As Range
Dim cell As Range
Dim output As Range
Dim i As Integer
Set data = Range("A2:B4")
Set output = Range("D2")
i = 0
For Each cell In data
output.Offset(i, 0) = cell
i = i + 1
Next
End Sub
You can use the INDEX function to refer to each cell. If data is in A2:B4, this formula works in any column but must start in row 2 and can then be filled down:
=INDEX($A$2:$B$4,ROW()/2,MOD(ROW(),2)+1)
The formula uses the current row as a counter. On every even row it gets a value from the first column of data and on every odd row it gets a value from the second column of data. After every 2 rows it gets values from the next row of data.
I have pivot table pulling data from a query from a proprietary database system we use at work. I'm trying to figure out a way to move certain parts of the pivot table to a different sheet where it wouldn't exist as a pivot table there. My problem I'm running into is that the table changes the number of columns and rows depending upon the types and amounts of things that we shipped that shift, so I can't have it simply have my new table equal the cell values in the pivot table.
This is an example of the pivot data having fewer columns and rows based on what occurred that shift at work.
The reason why I would like this in a regular table as opposed to a pivot table is because there's other calculations I'd like to put into the table that extend beyond a pivot table's capabilities (ex. have the user id be displayed as their name, and have a weighted system based off of what the driver moves, but I suppose that's irrelevant.)
I've been poking around the internet, and it seems that the majority of answers to this issue deal with static tables. Any help would be appreciated!
Let's assume you want the cell to have the value from "BEER Total" for "M307577". Then this would be the formula you put in the cell:
=VLOOKUP("M307577",A5:Z100,MATCH("BEER Total",A5:Z5,0),FALSE)
"A5:Z100" would be the whole pivot table and "A5:Z5" would be the first row containing variables.
As you mentioned you are not familiar with VBA, I would suggest this approach:
Use the first column and first row of the second sheet as a reference. Refer to all the variables from the pivot table there (refer to the cell containing IDs and Variables, and pull the formula to the last row for IDs and last column for variables (or a reasonable range as last column and row would not be sufficient)). This will leave you with zeros, empty cells from the pivot table sheet, but will have all the names that you need.
Then refer to those cells and use the aforementioned formula (instead of names, use the cells that you just created).
Whenever the pivot table updates, those cells will be updated as well and you will see the values for the corresponding ID and Variable.
I think you want the GETPIVOTDATA function. Determine what your logic will look like and click on the appropriate combination of cells. Excel will automatically setup the GETPIVOTDATA function appropriately for you.

Also, if the last used columns and last used rows are changing, you will probably need a Macro to help you with your task.
Sub LastRowInOneColumn()
'Find the last used row in a Column: column A in this example
Dim LastRow As Long
With ActiveSheet
LastRow = .Cells(.Rows.Count, "A").End(xlUp).Row
End With
MsgBox LastRow
End Sub
Sub LastColumnInOneRow()
'Find the last used column in a Row: row 1 in this example
Dim LastCol As Integer
With ActiveSheet
LastCol = .Cells(1, .Columns.Count).End(xlToLeft).Column
End With
MsgBox LastCol
End Sub
You can use a combination of functions to help you get the last used cell in a specific range.

From there, I think you can figure out your next steps.

Right now I have a really long table in a Word doc which I populated from an Excel worksheet. It has 6 columns and I'm trying to code something in Word VBA that will go through all the rows in the table and delete the entire row if the cell in the first column DOES NOT start with an equal sign ("=").
For example, I'm only trying to keep the rows that has texts like,
"=1+S -03F7", "=1+M -06M1", etc. etc.
How would I code this? I can't give the code anything specific to look for since the parts after the equal sign will be different for every row.
So this wouldn't work, right?:
If Not ActiveDocument.Tables(83).Columns(1).Range.Text = "=" Then
EntireRow.Select
Selection.Delete
I guess I should reference to cells in column 1, not the column itself... Also, it doesn't work because it's only looking for things with just the equal sign... And I don't know how I can get it to select the row if it find the cell without the equal sign. I don't know how to match by case in the cell of the first column.
You can loop through the rows in the table using the Rows property. You can then find the first cell in that Row using the Cells property. You can then check just the first character of the Range:
Sub DeleteUnwantedRows()
Dim t As Table
Dim r As Row
Set t = ActiveDocument.Tables(1)
For Each r In t.Rows
If r.Cells(1).Range.Characters(1) <> "=" Then r.Delete
Next r
End Sub
I have a sheet with just order numbers and another with order numbers and all of the data associated with those order numbers. I want to match the order numbers and transfer all of the available data into the other sheet. I've been trying to use loops and VLOOKUP but I'm having problems (plus I have 116 columns I want to transfer data from so my vlookup expression doesn't look very nice). Any advice would be appreciated!
this is what I have so far and I'm getting an object error.
I don't think it's the right way to go about it in general though.
Dim LookUpRange As Range
Dim row As Range
Set LookUpRange = Worksheets("batches").Range("B4:B1384")
Set row = Worksheets("batches").Range("C:DL")
For Each row In LookUpRange
row.Select
Selection.FormulaArray ="=VLOOKUP(RC[-1],OrderLvl!RC[-1]:R[1380]C[113],{2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9,10,11,12,13,14,15,16,17,18,19,20,21,22,23,24,25,26,27,28,29,30,31,32,33,34,35,36,37,38,39,40,41,42,43,44,45,46,47,48,49,50,51,52,53,54,55,56,57,58,59,60,61,62,63,64,65,67,68,69,70,71,72,73,74,75,76,77,78,79,80,81,82,83,84,85,86,87,88,89,90,91,92,93,94,95,96,97,98,99,100,101,102,103,104,105,106,207,108,109,110,111,112,113,114,115},FALSE)"
Next row
End Sub
Please consider this VBA script to resolve your inquiry:
Sub LookupOuput()
Dim OrderNumberColumn As Range
Set OrderNumberColumn = Worksheets("batches").Range("B2:B1384")
Dim LookUpRange As Range
Set LookUpRange = Worksheets("OrderLvl").Range("C:DL")
Dim cell As Range
Dim FindResult As Range
For Each cell In OrderNumberColumn
If Not cell.Value2 = Empty Then
Set FindResult = LookUpRange.Find(what:=cell.Value2)
If Not FindResult Is Nothing Then
cell.Range("A1:DJ1").Value2 = LookUpRange.Rows(FindResult.row).Value2
End If
End If
Next cell
End Sub
Basically searches for each Order Number in the first sheet on the second sheet. This outputs (if search term exists) the cell that that string is found which we later refer to its row number to output the whole row to the first sheet. Cheers,
A regular VLOOKUP may be able to give you what you need, if you use a small trick...
Insert a row above the data table, and put sequential numbers in
each cell of that row. (ie, A1 = 1, B1 = 2, C1 = 3, etc...)
Do the same thing on your blank table.
Assuming that your first order number is in cell A2, put the following formula into B2: =VLOOKUP($A2,[other sheet name]!$A$1:$DZ$5000,B$1,0)
Drag this formula across all 116 columns, then down all however many rows you've got.
You'll need to adjust the ranges, obviously, but make sure that your lookup array starts in column A. (or alternatively, that your numbers start in the same column as the first column in your array.) Adding the numbers along the top allows you to change what column of the array you're referencing, just by dragging the cell formula.
