Cross-Referencing numbers. Need help please
Hi
Hope someone can help. I have two sets of numbers that I would like to cross reference with each other. They are parcel numbers. The first column is the old style. The second column holds the new style. I would like to create a form that if you input one or the other of the values it's counter part would show up. An example below: 1559-F-1 PT SW 65-4-120-053-0510 1559-F-2 PT SW 65-4-120-053-0520 1560-F-1 E 1/2 65-4-120-054-0101 1560-F-1 PT SE 65-4-120-054-0120 1560-F-1 PT SE 65-4-120-054-0130 1560-F-2-A LOT 65-4-120-054-0200 1560-F-2-B LOT 65-4-120-054-0210 1560-F-3 PT SE 65-4-120-054-0220 1560-F PT SE 1/ 65-4-120-054-0230 1562-F PT SE 1/ 65-4-120-054-0410 Say if I entered the old parcel number of the first row as "1559-F-1" I would like it's equivalent "65-4-120-053-0510" to show up. Or switch it around and type in the new parcel number of "65-4-120-053-0510" and the old number of "1559-F-1" should appear. There are also three basic numbers that I will be using. 65-4-120-XXX-XXXX 66-4-120-XXX-XXXX 67-4-120-XXX-XXXX Is there a way to just type in the "X" values and not have to use the whole number or even need to type the dashes but yet still have then show up. I have never used this site before and I may be asking for way to much. If so please just ignore my request. I thought this would or should be fairly simple and volunteered to do it, but now find myself scratching my head after several hours at the attempt. Thanks in advance for any help. Mike |

I forgot to mention that I am using MS Excel 2002. I also have MS Access if
this problem would be better solved there. "Mike" wrote in message ... Hi Hope someone can help. I have two sets of numbers that I would like to cross reference with each other.

Hi!
Where does one number end and the other begin? 1559-F-1 PT SW 65-4-120-053-0510 the old parcel number of the first row as "1559-F-1" the new parcel number of "65-4-120-053-0510" Where is "PT SW" ? Is it part of the old style number? Part of the new style number? Biff "Mike" wrote in message ... Hi Hope someone can help.

Sorry, I had them separated but when I posted they ran together for some
reason. The correct second column of numbers would be in the below sequence with 13 numbers. 65-4-120-053-0510 The first column would be the preceding numbers in front such as 1559-F-1 PT SW. These could very in length but the 2nd column is consistant with the 13 numbers and dashes. "Biff" wrote in message ... Hi!

Just a little more clarification. Their are over 5000 entries in each of
the two columns. Below is the same samples with underscores to show where one column ends and the other begins. I would be more than happy to send the whole excel file if that would help.

Hi!
OK, to answer your basic request: Assume you enter either the new style or old style ID number in cell A1. The range of the ID numbers is A3:B5000. Enter this formula in cell B1: =IF(ISNA(VLOOKUP(A1,A3:B5000,2,0)),INDEX(A3:A5000, MATCH(A1,B3:B5000,0)),VLOOKUP(A1,A3:B5000,2,0)) Biff "Mike" wrote in message ... Just a little more clarification.

Is it part of the old style number? Part of the new style number? Biff "Mike" wrote in message ... Hi Hope someone can help. I have two sets of numbers that I would like to cross reference with each other. They are parcel numbers. The first column is the old style. The second column holds the new style. I would like to create a form that if you input one or the other of the values it's counter part would show up. An example below: 1559-F-1 PT SW 65-4-120-053-0510 1559-F-2 PT SW 65-4-120-053-0520 1560-F-1 E 1/2 65-4-120-054-0101 1560-F-1 PT SE 65-4-120-054-0120 1560-F-1 PT SE 65-4-120-054-0130 1560-F-2-A LOT 65-4-120-054-0200 1560-F-2-B LOT 65-4-120-054-0210 1560-F-3 PT SE 65-4-120-054-0220 1560-F PT SE 1/ 65-4-120-054-0230 1562-F PT SE 1/ 65-4-120-054-0410 Say if I entered the old parcel number of the first row as "1559-F-1" I would like it's equivalent "65-4-120-053-0510" to show up.

There are also three basic numbers that I will be using. 65-4-120-XXX-XXXX 66-4-120-XXX-XXXX 67-4-120-XXX-XXXX Is there a way to just type in the "X" values and not have to use the whole number or even need to type the dashes but yet still have then show up.

Biff's equation is nice.
for the second part of your question for the three basic numbers would there be duplicates in the XXX-XXXX portion? if no, you could type in XXX-XXXX and change Biff's equation to =IF(ISNA(VLOOKUP(A1,A3:B5000,2,0)),INDEX(A3:A5000, MATCH(A1,B3:B5000,0)),index(B3:B5000,match("*"&A1, A3:A5000,0)) to get rid of the last Hyphen you could enter "XXXXXXX" and change the equation to =IF(ISNA(VLOOKUP(A1,A3:B5000,2,0)),INDEX(A3:A5000, MATCH(A1,B3:B5000,0)),index(B3:B5000,match("*"&Lef tA1,3)&"-"&right(A1,4),A3:A5000,0)) If there are duplicates the equation is more complex but you could enter YXXXXXXX where Y is the 5 6 or 7 and further change the formula to =IF(ISNA(VLOOKUP(A1,A3:B5000,2,0)),INDEX(A3:A5000, MATCH(A1,B3:B5000,0)),index(B3:B5000,match("6"&lef t(A1,1)&"-4-120-"&mid(A1,2,3)&"-"&right(A1,4),A3:A5000,0)) neddless to say try them out on a copy of your file.

Can't believe all the great help I'm getting here. My first experience with
a newsgroup and I can't say enough good about it. I won't get a chance to try this out till late this eve, but will sure do so then. Thanks. I'll let you know what happens. "bj" wrote in message ...

Sorry, I think my brain is fried. Can't seem to make any of these work.
Here is what I have now. I changed some of the numbers in the formula to actual cell ranges that are being used. I may have messed it up. I am inputting numbers into cell A1. A text explaination in cell B1 A text explaination in cell A2 and the below formula into cell B2. My range of column numbers start in cell A3 with 65-4-120-011-0101 Column B3 starts with 8-F ALL THAT PT Here is the formula that I am trying. I've checked it over several times but that doesn't mean anything. This is the formula you suggested as: " to get rid of the last Hyphen you could enter "XXXXXXX" and change the equation to" =IF(ISNA(VLOOKUP(A1,A3:B5949,2,0)),INDEX(A3:A5949, MATCH(A1,B3:B5949,0)),INDEX(B3:B5949,MATCH("*"&Lef tA1,3)&"-"&right(A1,4),A3:A5949,0)) As before I can't thank you enough. If you would rather not deal with this it's OK because the other fix from Biff will work fine. I don't want to wear out my welcome here. I think this forum will be an invaluable help for me. Below are the actual numbers used in columns A and B for the first 20 rows. Mike Column A 65-4-120-011-0101 65-4-120-011-0105 65-4-120-011-0120 65-4-120-011-0205 65-4-120-011-0210 65-4-120-011-0300 65-4-120-011-0310 65-4-120-011-0320 65-4-120-011-0330 65-4-120-011-0340 65-4-120-011-0350 65-4-120-011-0360 65-4-120-011-0370 65-4-120-011-0380 65-4-120-011-0390 65-4-120-011-0400 65-4-120-011-0410 65-4-120-011-0420 65-4-120-011-0430 65-4-120-011-0440 Column B 8-F ALL THAT PT 8-F PT OF NE 1 3-F-1 PT NE 1/4 3-F W 1/2 NE 1/ 3-F CSM #2106 D 9-F-1 PT E 1/2 9-F-3-P PT E 1/ 9-F-3-D PT NE 1 9-F-3-E PT NE 1 9-F-3-H PT E 1/ 9-F-3-O PT E 1/ 9-F-3-N PT E 1/ 9-F-2 PT NE 1/4 9-F-3-M PT NE 1 9-F-3-L PT NE 1 9-F-3-K PT NE 1 9-F-3-J PT NE 1 9-F-3-Q PT NE 1 9-F-3-G PT E 1/ 9-F-3-B PT NE 1 "Mike" wrote in message ...
