Hi
use VLOOKUP (multiple) for this. See: http://www.mvps.org/dmcritchie/excel/vlookup.htm -- Regards Frank Kabel Frankfurt, Germany choice wrote: i have a range (a1:g5000) sorted by date, the same date can be used in multiple rows, i need to lookup up a date and have it return all info for each date |

I don't see that either <grin
There are multiple argument lookups, but I think the poster would be more interested in filtering. choice wrote: i have a range (a1:g5000) sorted by date, the same date can be used in multiple rows, i need to lookup up a date and have it return all info for each dateseld be A little bit light on how they want to to the lookup, whether they know the date or have to look it up first. Debra Dalgleish, I think, has some program invoked filter examples on her site. http://www.contextures.com look for filter or filtering. Since the question is skimpy on what is wanted it probably is is not a programming question. So perhaps a simple filter is all that is needed. Auto Filter within... Summarizing Data Examples (an Overview) http://www.mvps.org/dmcritchie/excel...htm#autofilter Also includes information to undo the filter, don't want anyone having to restore a file because how to undo wasn't included. -- --- HTH, David McRitchie, Microsoft MVP - Excel [site changed Nov. 2001] My Excel Pages: http://www.mvps.org/dmcritchie/excel/excel.htm Search Page: http://www.mvps.org/dmcritchie/excel/search.htm "Alan Beban" wrote in message ...

Hi Alan
it was too late for this post I think. What I wanted to say was: I woulds use multiple VLOOKUPs. One for each column, each refering to the same search criteria. and after this just a refernce to get the basic understanding of vLOOKUP :-) -- Regards Frank Kabel Frankfurt, Germany Alan Beban wrote: Frank Kabel wrote: Hi use VLOOKUP (multiple) for this.

i currently have multiple vlookups (about 350000), but there are only about 10 a day that needs to be looked up...so i was wondering if there was a way to use less equations or programming, this worksheet is saved about every 2 minutes...so with all those equations it takes a LOT longer to save

Hi
if you could explain your spreadsheet layout a little bit more there may be alternatives. Honestly I can't think of a situation where I would need 350,000 formulas in an Excel sheet. If an application requires that much lookups Excel is probably not the right tool -- Regards Frank Kabel Frankfurt, Germany choice wrote: i currently have multiple vlookups (about 350000), but there are only about 10 a day that needs to be looked up...so i was wondering if there was a way to use less equations or programming, this worksheet is saved about every 2 minutes...so with all those equations it takes a LOT longer to save |

Hi
but this would create a lot of blank rows? Why not use 'Data - Filter - Advanced Filter' for creating a snapshot on a separate sheet or 'Data - Filter - Autoflilter' to show only the relevant rows. Another approach would be to put this data in a database and create a query for this. You may then import this query in Excel. Also consider using pivot tables for aggregations -- Regards Frank Kabel Frankfurt, Germany choice wrote: column A = date of purchase column b = name of customer column c = phone number ... column GC = discounts the range is from A2:GC(count of transactions) basically now im using =if(a2=today(),b2,"") same equation for column c,d,e...out to GC then that equation goes down about 10000 rows to cover all the possible trasanactions |
