index / lookup / match / text formula
 

What would you want if two (or more) cells meet your condition.


I think you will need VBA for this as the data will be random i.e. not
sorted ascending or descending order so MATCH (or "LOOKUPS") etc not would
work on "nearest" value searches.

hi there


i am trying to build a formula that will reference the row & column headings
of a cell ref depending on its contents.

for example, lets say ive got a table like this;
A B C D
1 Jan Feb Mar
2 Sales 100 120 155
3 Costs 80 95 120
4 Total 20 35 35


i am looking to put together what i think will be a merge of LookUp, Index,
Match & Text formulas in an unused cell, E5, to say;

search in cells B2:D4, if any value is over 150, return the text of the
column heading then &" "& then the text of the row heading.


in this instance, cell E5 would therefore say "Mar Sales".


i have seen IndexMatch formulas work the other way (i.e. I specific "Mar" &
"Sales" & it returns the values (155), but never this way round


anyone got any ideas? please let me know if you need any more info


cheers

hi Toppers



missed the fact that you had posted two different codes. my previous message
(about it listing rows twice), refers to the macro "Find_Row2COL" which
throws the answers to another sheet.

the macro "Find_Row2COLx" (that puts answers on the same sheet) does not
have the duplication problem but does still list all row results regardless.

hope this clears up any confusion


many thanks

Hi Toppers

The columns side of that works perfectly, but there seems to be a problem
with the row side.


the result brings up Sheet 2 col A listing all of the row headings twice
regardless of whether they are listed as TRUE or FALSE, but it only lists a
column heading in Sheet 2 col B where FALSE is actually found in the data
source. so it ends up looking like this;


A B
1 Row Col
2 Sales
3 Sales
4 Costs
5 Costs Mar
6 Total
7 Total


my vb is not good enough to spot what is working correctly on the column
aspects of the code that needs to be applied to the row aspects so the result
ends up looking like this;

A B
1 Row Col
2
3
4
5 Costs Mar
6
7

once again, really appreciate your help on this

Hi


yeah, really i do want a limitless listing going off down the page of all
those refs that are over 150. i just thought it was easier to start this
thread with just saying one cell returned!


i cant begin to imagine how i would write the code to do something like that?

Hi Toppers

Many thanks for your help on this

The actual data is stored in cells (I46:R62)

The data is all either TRUE or FALSE, i want it fire the cell & row headings
if the data is FALSE

the column headings are in cells (I7:R7)

the row headings are in cells (F46:F62)

where a FALSE is found in the main data i would like the column heading to
be put column T starting at row 50, corresponding row headings to be put in
column U starting at row 50. the list would obviously need to have the
ability to drop down as many rows as there are possible permutations of
references to be fired (about 170, i think, but am only expecting there to be
a couple of FALSE's at any one time!)

i will then CONCATENATE the results of columns T & U in column V to get the
full reference i need

i hope this helps, let me know if you need any more info


cheers
