List Query
I am trying get a data from the other sheet that matches the required field. But it gives me FALSE result. Can you please help me on this. Thanks in advance. This is my example: =IF(F7='Allowances Summary'!A6:A57,'Allowances Summary'!B6:B57) -- aries0070 ------------------------------------------------------------------------ aries0070's Profile: http://www.excelforum.com/member.php...o&userid=25077 View this thread: http://www.excelforum.com/showthread...hreadid=385937 |
Try instead in say, G7:
=INDEX('Allowances Summary'!$B$6:$B$57,MATCH(F7,'Allowances Summary'!$A$6:$A$57,0)) Copy G7 down to retrieve data for the other values in F8, F9, etc Alternatively, with an error trap to return blanks:"" for unmatched values instead of ugly #N/As, you could put in G7, and copy down: =IF(ISNA(MATCH(F7,'Allowances Summary'!$A$6:$A$57,0)),"",INDEX('Allowances Summary'!$B$6:$B$57,MATCH(F7,'Allowances Summary'!$A$6:$A$57,0))) -- Rgds Max xl 97 --- GMT+8, 1° 22' N 103° 45' E xdemechanik <atyahoo<dotcom ---- "aries0070" wrote in message ...

Thank you guys for your immediate reply, but it gave me a blank that means it didn't found anything matches that I required. For more explanation about my request is: A6:A57 (Is the list of Employee Names) B6:B57 (Is the Employee ID Number) F7 (To enter the Employee ID Number required, then when it matches any number in B6:B57, then the Employee Name appears. Also note that F7 is located to another sheet within that File.) It is like using "Query" in MS Access. -- aries0070 ------------------------------------------------------------------------ aries0070's Profile: http://www.excelforum.com/member.php...o&userid=25077 View this thread: http://www.excelforum.com/showthread...hreadid=385937 |
A6:A57 (Is the list of Employee Names)
B6:B57 (Is the Employee ID Number) F7 (To enter the Employee ID Number required, then when it matches any number in B6:B57, then the Employee Name appears. Also note that F7 is located to another sheet within that File.) Think you've switched the columns A & B around in the descript above, compared to what was inferred in your orig. post <g Try in say, G7 (on the same sheet as the input cell F7), either: =INDEX('Allowances Summary'!$A$6:$A$57,MATCH(F7,'Allowances Summary'!$B$6:$B$57,0)) or, with the error trap: =IF(ISNA(MATCH(F7,'Allowances Summary'!$B$6:$B$57,0)),"",INDEX('Allowances Summary'!$A$6:$A$57,MATCH(F7,'Allowances Summary'!$B$6:$B$57,0))) If you still get no matches where there obviously should be, one guess is that the employee id numbers in: 'Allowances Summary'!$B$6:$B$57 are text numbers while those entered in F7 are real numbers, thus throwing the matching off. Try this to convert: 'Allowances Summary'!$B$6:$B$57 to real numbers. Select any empty cell and copy it. Then select / right-click on the range: 'Allowances Summary'!$B$6:$B$57 and choose Paste Special Check "Add" OK. This operation will convert all the text numbers to real numbers for proper matching. Try the above, let us know how it goes. -- Rgds Max xl 97 --- GMT+8, 1° 22' N 103° 45' E xdemechanik <atyahoo<dotcom ---- "aries0070" wrote in message ...

Maybe I miss something using your formulas, sorry for the inconvenience. But I got it. I used this function. =VLOOKUP(F7,Names,2,FALSE) I just Named the Range A6:B57 to Names. That's all. Thank you for your help and contributions. -- aries0070 ------------------------------------------------------------------------ aries0070's Profile: http://www.excelforum.com/member.php...o&userid=25077 View this thread: http://www.excelforum.com/showthread...hreadid=385937 |
No prob, you're welcome. Glad to hear you got it up.
I didn't suggest VLOOKUP initially as I inferred (wrongly?) from your orig. post that the return col was to the *left* of the lookup col, in which case INDEX(... MATCH(...)) would be an option with the flexibility for the task ... -- Rgds Max xl 97 --- GMT+8, 1° 22' N 103° 45' E xdemechanik <atyahoo<dotcom ---- "aries0070" wrote in message ...
