Need help with INDEX lookup
Almost perfect.
So, we're making progress!
Is there a way to include a similar lookup when I'm, receiving the #N/A
error?
In other words, you want to do the same thing but this time return the data
from col A where col L = #N/A. This one is actually easier since it's just a
single condition to deal with.
Array entered:
=INDEX($A$2:$A$100,SMALL(IF(ISNA($L$2:$L$100),ROW( A$2:A$100)),ROWS(A$1:A1))-ROW(A$2)+1)
when I change the index array below to lookup
on another sheet does every array reference
need the 'sheetname'! added or just in a strategic
spot or too
Technically, if all the data was on a different sheet you need to include
the sheet name in "spots". For example, using the above formula with the
data on Sheet1:
=INDEX(Sheet1!$A$2:$A$100,SMALL(IF(ISNA(Sheet1!$L$ 2:$L$100),ROW(A$2:A$100)),ROWS(A$1:A1))-ROW(A$2)+1)
You'll notice I didn't include the sheet name in any of the ROW functions.
In both the ROW and ROWS functions the sheet name is irrelavent as to how
these functions work. **However**, including the sheet name doesn't hurt
anything and makes it easier to understand what the formula is doing.
=INDEX(Sheet1!$A$2:$A$100,SMALL(IF(ISNA(Sheet1!$L$ 2:$L$100),ROW(Sheet1!A$2:A$100)),ROWS(A$1:A1))-ROW(Sheet1!A$2)+1)

Almost perfect. 2 more questions: Is there a way to include a similar
lookup
when I'm, receiving the #N/A error? (If not I'll do it manually, but its a
31
sheet workbook). Also, when I change the index array below to lookup on
another sheet does every array reference need the 'sheetname'! added or
just
in a strategic spot or too.

Ok, this should work...
Array entered** :
=INDEX($A$2:$A$100,SMALL(IF(ISTEXT($L$2:$L$100),IF (($L$2:$L$100<"")*($L$2:$L$100<"Resolved"),ROW(A $2:A$100))),ROWS(A$1:A1))-ROW(A$2)+1)
** array formulas need to be entered using the key combination of
CTRL,SHIFT,ENTER (not just ENTER). Hold down both the CTRL key and the
SHIFT
key then hit ENTER.

Sorry, I'm a bit confused. Column L
uses:=IF(AND($G2<"Resolved",$C2="SAP-SECURITY"),VLOOKUP($A2,'25'!$A$2:$J$100,7,0),"")
Current results include "In Progress", "Resolved", "On Hold", blank or
the
issue #N/A.
Another column has (entered as an array):=INDEX($A$2:$A$100,
SMALL(AND(IF(($L$2:$L$100<""),( $L$2:$L$100<"Resolved")),
ROW($A$2:$A$100)),ROW(1:1))) However, the #N/A causes the whole thing
to
return as #NA.
When I entered:=IF(ISNA(MATCH($A2,'25'!$A$2:$A$100,0)),"N o
Match",IF(AND($G2<"Resolved",$C2="SAP-SVC
DESK"),VLOOKUP($A2,'25'!$A$2:$J$100,7,0),"")) I received way too many
"No
Match" values.
Do I change my Index formula to contain the three variables?
($G2<"Resolved",$C2="SAP-SECURITY",$N2="No Match") Or is there an
easier
way
I'm missing because I really don't speak Excel very well? :)

We'll get this sorted out sooner or later! <g
The "no match" of the lookup is a separate condition from
$G4<"Resolved"
and $C4="SAP-SECURITY".
You can do this for the "no match":
=IF(ISNA(MATCH($A4,'25'!$A$2:$A$100,0)),"No Match",.........
The rest of the formula would be:
...IF(AND($G4<"Resolved",$C4="SAP-SECURITY"),VLOOKUP($A4,'25'!$A$2:$J$100,7,0),*what
should go here*))
*what should go here* = what result do you want if/when
$G4<"Resolved"
and
$C4="SAP-SECURITY" if FALSE?

I appreciate you helping me with this. The problem is, that when
there
is
no
match in the look up it gives me a blank cell. The error is actuall
preferable as it lets me know there's no match since thats part of
what
we're
tracking.

Try changing that formula to:
=IF(AND($G4<"Resolved",$C4="SAP-SECURITY",ISNUMBER(MATCH($A4,'25'!$A$2:$A$100,0))) ,VLOOKUP($A4,'25'!$A$2:$J$100,7,0),"")

I'm not sure how to tell if column A is brought in as text or
number,
is
there a way to be sure? Is it just formating the cells? It looks
like a
number. I have no problem with it being text as it won't be used
in
any
calculations. I'm using 2003 SP2. Over the weekend I thought to
use
an
extra
column with: =IF(AND($L$2:$L$100<"", $L$2:$L$100<"Resolved"),
"Yes",""),
then just changing the previous formula to look for the yes, but
it
too
is
returning #N/A when that is in in the lookup cell...

What type of data does the VLOOKUP return? Is it text, numeric
or
could
it
be either? What version of Excel are you using?

Col L uses the following formula:
=IF(AND($G4<"Resolved",$C4="SAP-SECURITY"),VLOOKUP($A4,'25'!$A$2:$J$100,7,0),"")
From what I can tell, when the # being looked up on the next
worksheet
isn't
there, it returns the #N/A error. Which was fine until the
INDEX
formula
wouldn't work. When I tried putting ISNA in there, I received
a
blank -
which
I don't want. Any suggestions?

I still get #N/A.
Column L is the result of a VLOOKUP
Are there any #N/A errors already in col L?
If so, you need to fix them.

Thank you, but I still get #N/A. I copied the formula
exactly.
was I
supposed
to make some customizations?

Don't forget: array entered!

This formula works, but of course it only gives the
first
instance:
=INDEX($A$2:$A$100,MATCH(1,($L$2:$L$100<"")*($L$2 :$L$100<"Resolved"),0)).
So I tried created this formula as an array:
=INDEX($A$2:$A$100, SMALL(AND(IF(($L$2:$L$100<""),(
$L$2:$L$100<"Resolved")), ROW($A$2:$A$100)),ROW(1:1)))
I receive #N/A. Any suggestions on how to fix the
formula?
Column
A
has
the
information I'd like returned if the conditions are met
in
column
L.
Column L
is the result of a VLOOKUP you all helped me with
previously.
Eventually
I'll
evolve the formula to do the look up from another
worksheet.
Is
this
enough
information or do you need more?
Thank in advance.
