Here is my problem:
Sheet1 = "Interface". Sheet2 = "Data".
Column C5:C160 in "Data" contains a list of tasks.
Row D4:M4 in "Data" contains a list of position types (jobs), which I have labelled with "job categories" from 1-10. The range D5:M160 contains work-hours for each task and position type.
Values in columns E and F in "Interface" are related to columns C and row 4 in "Data" through data validation.
What I want to do is create an advanced filter that can copy values from D5:M160 in "Data" and paste these in column G in "Interface", if the values in columns E and F "Interface" match the values in column C and row 4 in "Data" respectively, simultaneously.
This means that it should be a macro to copy and paste values with matching multiple criteria (two criteria) from one sheet to another.
I have tried different things, with no success. I have also tried array formulas, vlookup and sumifs with multiple criteria, but none of these seem work.
Any ideas?
I appreciate your help!
The index formula combined with match is built just for this.
Index returns a value from a specified table when you provide a row and column.
Match is used to return the row/column based on criteria.
So on the Interface sheet (assuming your data starts in Row 1) you can place the following formula in G1 and copy it down as needed.
=INDEX(Data!$D$5:$M$160,MATCH(E1,Data!$C$5:$C$160,0),MATCH(F1,Data!$D$4:$M$4,0))

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:
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$7 whose relative position is equal to the 2 passed from the MATCH(). So Sheet2!F4.
If no MATCH is found then the whole thing will throw a #N/A error so we capture that error with IFERROR(...,G3) and tell the formula to return the value in column G instead.
This will give you all the proper values:
Then you can copy and paste just the values back to the original spots and hide the columns with the formulas:
Sheet2 for reference:
If you want vba to do the last part of copy and past and hiding then use the macro recorder and then clean up the code.
Ive never used vlookups i have a spreedsheet not sure if this is the right function. I have two sheets
Sheet 1
first name last name username
Sheet 2
first name last name employee id business unit
I need in column D on sheet 1 to have employee id ive below. Pay no attention to column letters and sheets because i moved to another sheet to try getting this right.
=MATCH(B11,Sheet1!C:C,0)
Any help is much appreciated.
So you realize you have to match both first and last names? There are several ways to accomplish this depending on how many employees you have in sheet 2: a) small list could a two-column search using array formula; b) large list just create another column in both sheets joining last & first names and do a MATCH or VLOOKUP on them.
Since your needs are simple and to illustrate option (b):
Insert a column in both Sheet1 and Sheet2 after the "last name"; you should now have an empty column C in both sheets.
Assuming you have column headers in row one, and thus data starts in row two, set cell C2 in both sheets with function =B2&","&A2, then fill-down that formula on both sheets in all rows.
Set Sheet1 cell E2 to formula =VLOOKUP(Sheet1!C2, Sheet2!$C:$D, 2, False), and fill-down that formula in all rows.
Voila, employee IDs on Sheet1. I do have to say this is so Excel 101. There are all sorts of examples and tutorials on this easily found using even the most trivial Google searches.
I have Sheet 1 with lots of columns, where column A is the list of all customer codes. In sheet 2 I have column A as some selected customer codes. Now based on the selected customer codes in sheet2 I need to extract few columns (H,I,J) from sheet1, paste it into sheet 2 and export the result to a new sheet.
Excel noob here. Hope you understood my query.
Assuming customer codes are unique in column A (i.e., the same code does not appear multiple times) you can do all of this with VLOOKUP function.
No need for VBA. In column B, Sheet 2: =VLOOKUP(A1,Sheet1!A:J,8,False) will return the value corresponding from column H (H being the eighth column of the range A:J).
Likewise do this for column I:
=VLOOKUP(A1,Sheet1!A:J,9,False)
And if you guessed also do this for column J:
=VLOOKUP(A1,Sheet1!A:J,10,False)
In both worksheets I have a key in column A. Not all of the key values are in both worksheets.
For each key value in column A of Worksheet 1, I want to find the corresponding key in worksheet 2 and move the data in column B of worksheet 2 into column B of worksheet 1.
I have never programmed a macro so I am completely lost for writing this code.
There is no need for VBA here, Philip.
Try this formula in cell B1 of Sheet1:
=IFERROR(vlookup(A1,Sheet2!A:B,2,false),"")
If you are on XL 2003, then do this:
=IF(ISERROR(vlookup(A1,Sheet2!A:B,2,false)),"",vlookup(A1,Sheet2!A:B,2,false))
Then drag this formula down for the rest of your data in Column A of Sheet1.
NB - Sheet2 is the assumed name of your Worksheet2, you may need to change to fit your needs.
NB2 - you can lookup vlookup in Excel Help (or online) to better understand what it does
Are you sure you need to use a macro for this? It sounds to me like you are using Excel and a simple VLOOKUP formula would do what you need.
A VLOOKUP looks like this: =VLOOKUP(A1,Sheet2!$A:$B,2,FALSE)
Where A1 is your reference cell (in this case you "key" in column A).
Sheet2!$A:$B is the lookup table (in this case columns A and B from the second sheet).
2 is the column number that you want data from, counting from the left (in this case the second column, column B)
FALSE tells the formula to only return values for exact matches. TRUE returns the closest match in the lookup table.
