VLOOKUP help required
I am not sure whether to use nested VLOOKUPs or MATCH/INDEX and VLOOKUP to implement what I’m trying to do. On the main worksheet I have populated the Project Category using VLOOKUP based on the project lifecycle entered by the user. =VLOOKUP(H4,Category,2,FALSE) – this works fine and is using Lookup table 1. On the main worksheet, the user will enter in a score for each of the Project Elements (ranging from 1- unacceptable to 5-excellent). What I need to do is – based on the Category, apply the appropriate Weighting factor to the Project Element Scores (lookup table 3) and output that value into another column (called Project Element Weighted Score). Lookup table 1: Lifecycle Category 1-Investigation 1-Conceive 2-Definition 2-Design 3-Implementation 3-Build 4-Production 3-Build 5-Frozen 4-Manage 6-Phase out Started 4-Manage 7-Phased out 4-Manage Lookup table 2: Category Project Elements Score Output value weighting 1-Conceive Personnel 5 5 1 1-Conceive Personnel 4 4 1-Conceive Personnel 3 3 1-Conceive Personnel 2 2 1-Conceive Personnel 1 1 1-Conceive R&D 5 5 5 1-Conceive R&D 4 4 1-Conceive R&D 3 3 1-Conceive R&D 2 2 1-Conceive R&D 1 1 1-Conceive Infrastructure 5 5 2 I have in the weighted score field on the main spreadsheet and a VLOOKUP formula that was working prior to introducing the Weighting by Category concept. I can’t figure out how to include a lookup to to get the category and the corresponding weighting factor and use the correct weighting factor to apply to the score. I hope I’ve been clear enough - I cannot send my spreadsheet as it has c
Can you use AND / OR in an INDEX MATCH
Hi I have am array formula that looks like this: =INDEX('Rebate report'!A:A,MATCH(1,('Rebate report'!A:A=A2)*('Rebate report'!B:B=B2)*('Rebate report'!C:C=C2),0),1) which works. I want to add in an OR function for the name in column A. I will add this name in Column T. In other words the match is correct if column A or T match A2 and COL B=B2 and COL C=C2 also match the criteria I tried using the + to add T criteria but gave me a 0 =INDEX('Rebate report'!A:A,MATCH(1,('Rebate report'!A:A=A2)*('Rebate report'!B:B=B2)*('Rebate report'!C:C=C2)+('Rebate report'!A:A=T2),0),1) Thanks for the help!Extra and "double" double quotes when using carriage return in formulas
Hi, all. I am attempting to copy Excel cell contents in a text file (for further use later). However, when copying and pasting cells with formulas that contain both quotes ("") and carriage returns (either CHAR(13) or "Alt+Enter"), the result contains "extra" quotes at odd places. For example, if formula is =[@Type] & [@[Callout Pipe 1]] (with no carriage returns), the result is (after pasting into Notepad): SDMH12" CPP N IE= 320.8 Just as desired. However, we need a carriage return after "SDMH" (from column [@Type]), so if we simply add a carriage return (again, either CHAR(13) or "Alt+Enter") with this formula =[@Type] & CHAR(13) & [@[Callout Pipe 1]], pasting it in Notepad results in: "SDMH 12"" CPP N IE= 320.8" As can be seen, the return carriage worked, but my text now has three extra double quotes that weren't meant to be there. Could anyone help me solve this problem? Thanks in advance, Edgar
pre-1900 dates
I can find no help on how to tell Excel to properly format and calculate dates before 1900. I want to calculate age at death and have birth and death dates in columns. But Excel does not recognize March 30, 1894. It calls is YYYY = 3794. And subtracting death date from birth date returns "#VALUE!" How do I use the DATE(YYYY,MM,DD) function or format March 30, 1894 so Excel will understand and I can have it calculate the age at death correctly? TIA. Also I've seen #1 shown in Excel Help in different posts as BOTH Dec 31, 1899 AND as Jan 1, 1900. Which is it?
Excel Table Appears to Automatically Expand but drop down list doesn't update
I used Excel 2013. I created a drop-down list that is based on an Excel Table via the Data Validation button on the Data ribbon. If I add or delete a row from the middle of the table, my associated drop-downs are updated automatically. However, if I insert a row of data at the very top or bottom of the list (range), even though the table appears to have expanded, the drop-down list does not update automatically. The Auto Correct options "Include new rows and columns in table" and "Fill formulas in tables to create calculated columns" are checked. None of the sheets on my workbook are protected.
