How can I lookup when match has more than one value?
I am using LOOKUP functions to retrieve info from a list. Some of the lookup
values have more than one match in the list. Is there a function that allows me to retrieve multiple elements for one lookup value, or at least a function that tells me there are duplicate matches? |
Answer: How can I lookup when match has more than one value?
Yes, there is a function that can help you with this. Instead of using the LOOKUP function, you can use the INDEX and MATCH functions together to retrieve multiple elements for one lookup value.
Here are the steps to do this:
This formula will return an array of values that match the lookup value. If there are no matches, it will return an error message. If you just want to know if there are duplicate matches, you can use the COUNTIF function. Here are the steps to do this:
This formula will return the number of times the lookup value appears in the range. If it returns a number greater than 1, it means there are duplicate matches. |

=IF( CountIf(a1:a10,"Joe")<1, CountIf(a1:a10,"Joe"),
LookUp(..etc...) ) will give you the count if there are more or fewer than one. Otherwise, it performs the lookup. - David On Jul 23, 9:12 pm, bonot1 wrote: I am using LOOKUP functions to retrieve info from a list. Some of the lookup values have more than one match in the list.

Is the data sorted so that the lookup_values are grouped together or is the
data random? Is the data to be returned text or numeric? -- Biff Microsoft Excel MVP "bonot1" wrote in message ... I am using LOOKUP functions to retrieve info from a list.

This is helpful and I will think on this, but in my case nearly all of the
CountIfs will be greater than 1. To use your example, I may have 10 instances of "Joe" in my list; the lookup against "Joe" might return "abc" or "cde". Most Joe, Pam, etc. have only one value "abc" as their match, but some Joe, Pam, etc. have both "abc" and "cde". I need a way to know that.

Data is in random order, and the data to be returned is text.

Here's one way:
Assume data in A2:B20. You want to extract data from column B that corresponds to a lookup_value. D2 = lookup_value Array entered** : =IF(ROWS($1:1)<=COUNTIF(A$2:A$20,D$2),INDEX(B$2:B$ 20,SMALL(IF(A$2:A$20=D$2,ROW(B$2:B$20)-MIN(ROW(B$2:B$20))+1),ROWS($1:1))),"") Copy down until you get blanks. ** array formulas need to be entered using the key combination of CTRL,SHIFT,ENTER (not just ENTER) -- Biff Microsoft Excel MVP "bonot1" wrote in message ...

Thanks. I am working with your suggestion, but I am not sure if I expressed
my problem clearly. Using your example, in A2:A20 there would be say three different values "abc", "cde", and "efg". When I lookup in B2:B20, there is a "123" for every "abc", a "345" for every "cde"; VLOOKUP works fine for these. However, rows with "efg" in column A sometimes have "789" in column B and sometimes have "567". What I need is to 1) be made aware that "efg" has two different matches in column B, and 2) know what the values of those two matches are. This is what I would like to automate. "T.

Well, then all you need to do is test for the presence of those 2 values
that correspond to "efg". I have a feeling that your sample data is "fake" so any formula I suggest might not work on your real data since the formula is based on your explanation. Anyhow, try this: =IF(COUNTIF(A$2:A$20,"efg"),IF(AND(COUNTIF(B$2:B$2 0,567),COUNTIF(B$2:B$20,789)),INDEX({567,789},ROWS ($1:1)),IF(ROWS($1:1)=1,VLOOKUP("efg",A$2:B$20,2,0 ),"")),"") Copy to a total of 2 cells. -- Biff Microsoft Excel MVP "bonot1" wrote in message ...

Hi I have a huge list of data that has items and each item has different
specifications. For example: 36134008 R AA Z34116-1 36153004 R AA Z33021-1 34377007 P AA Z28031-1 34377007 P ZZ 5313312 34377007 P ZZ 4758766 36321027 P AA Z00000-1 36321027 P AA Z30918-1 36416003 P AA X32118-1 36421026 P ZZ 2394200 What I want to do is use a vlookup(34377007,$A$1:$B$8,4,FALSE) The output that this vlookup will give me would be "Z28031-1" but in some cases I want the information of the second row"5313312" or maybe the third"4758766". I have seen that there is explanations, and formulas that give you all the info like this: 34377007 Z28031-1 5313312 4758766 But for the purpose of what i am doing I do not need all the values I just need one of them. for example: Same vlookup, but I want the formula to give me the info from the second row when it found the first value that match the vlookup I do not know if exist a formula that makes this vlookup(34377007,$A$1:$B$8,4(row2),FALSE) =€œ5313312€ 36134008 R AA Z34116-1 36153004 R AA Z33021-1 34377007 P AA Z28031-1 34377007 P ZZ 5313312 34377007 P ZZ 4758766 36321027 P AA Z00000-1 36321027 P AA Z30918-1 36416003 P AA X32118-1 36421026 P ZZ 2394200 Same vlookup, but I want the formula to give me the info from the third row when it found the first value that match the vlookup.

last question, if im going to add additional condition, ill just use this formula, right? =INDEX(Data!C1:Data!C5,MATCH(1,(Data!A1:Data!A5=E1 )*(Data!B1:Data!B5=F1)*(????????????),0)) is it correct?

i still dont understand the 1 and the 0?...
MATCH(1,(A1:A5=E1)*(B1:B5=F1),0) The 1 is the lookup_value and the 0 means we want to find an exact match of the lookup_value. Based on the sample I posted... (A1:A5=E1)*(B1:B5=F1) When both conditions are TRUE the result will be 1. (Bob=Sue)*(x=a) = 0 (Sue=Sue)*(x=a) = 0 (Bob=Sue)*(z=a) = 0 (Sue=Sue)*(a=a) = 1 (Tom=Sue)*(h=a) = 0 This array of 1s and 0s make up the lookup_array. MATCH(1,{0;0;0;1;0},0) The result of MATCH is 4 and is passed to the INDEX function meaning we want the 4th element of the indexed range C1:C5. =INDEX(C1:C5,4) =INDEX({"AA";"BB";"CC";"GG";"FF"},4) GG is the 4th element of the indexed range so the result of the formula is GG E1 = Sue F1 = a =INDEX(C1:C5,MATCH(1,(A1:A5=E1)*(B1:B5=F1),0)) =GG -- Biff Microsoft Excel MVP "Hijosdelongi" wrote in message ...

So I can help can you advise re the following:
1) Is there a fixed number of values you want to display, or does it vary? 2) How would you want them displayed? in a column? in a row?

Hi Valko,
I have something similar and I am just used to vlookup for one single value to compare two columns so I get value in column2 returned. Now I do have two columns plus a condition and three columns, and I would like to get the value in column3 returned. example: ID name shs test results ID name shs 1234 Timo 13 D2 1225 Timo 20 1225 Timo 20 D3 1234 Timo 10 I thought vlookup can help if (A2+A3) match (E2+F2), then return the value in column G. Result: Cell D2 should get value "10" (G3) and Cell D3 should get the value "20" (G2). Thank you so much in advance. Regards, Timo "T.

How can I lookup when match has more than one value?
Hi,
I have a similar question on return sum of multiple vlookup values. Please see the following array. Item Date Amount a 1-Sep 10 b 1-Sep 15 c 1-Sep 20 a 2-Sep 16 c 2-Sep 21 d 2-Sep 30 a 3-Sep 18 b 3-Sep 25 I want the function return the sum of values which 'Item' = 'a'. I used =sum(vlookup(a, a2:c9, 3, false)) and it only returned the first value 10. I expected to get (10+16+18) = 44. How can I achieve this result? Thanks. |

I had similar issue and surfed this website to find the solution but then I
trued used SumIF and it worked for me. For you it shoould be sumif(A1:A8, a, C1:C8). Hope it works for you as well. Good luck.
