问题
There are a lot of posts that relate, but I haven't found one quite like this. I am currently going through excel to help out in speeding up a process a little more. The excel file has two spreadsheets. One is data the second is the summary. On the data spreadsheet, I have the first column as names, and the next 7 columns with data values (Not all filled).
Name Data1 Data2 Data3 Country Address
VA 123 456 621 USA ExampleSt.
MD 123 France 123Street
DC 621 Korea 999Avenue
UseCol Value
Data2 456
Data3 621
Data1 000
My question is, I am given the value "621" (which can appear in multiple columns, but won't appear in ). I am given which set it should be in "data1, data2, data3...". How would I go about finding the name with that information? No VBA, only through excel.
I got stopped here with this code.
=INDEX(A1:D4,MATCH('621',*What do I put here*,0)
For that middle section, the reason why it is a problem is because I'm given which data column to use in another spreadsheet.
EDIT
So, I have followed what Tim Williams has said about using the offset. However, now I have a second column I am trying to get to. So the code that I used to get the Name is as follows
=IFERROR(INDEX(A2:A4,MATCH(B7,OFFSET(A2:A4,0,MATCH(A7,B1:D1,0)),0,1),"ERROR")
What changes do I have to make to the OFFSET portion to now look for the Country, or the Address cell? I believe the only part I need to change is that inner "MATCH" function. Should I do MATCH(A7,B1:D1,0)+3 to get to Country column? Thank you.
回答1:
This worked for me as long as each number can only appear once per column.
EDIT: for getting the matching value from other columns you only need to adjust the first part of the formula.
回答2:
The parameter you are missing is your lookup range in which you are trying to find the row that contains 621. Simply reference the desired column range, or create a named range and reference that.
WITH A GIVEN RANGE
I created a named range for the NAME column called "NAMERANGE".
I created a named range for the DATA1 column called "DATA1RANGE".
Using this formula I can retrieve the name if any of the row containing the given value in the given column range:
=INDEX(NAMERANGE,MATCH(621,DATA1RANGE,0))
Replace the value, and Data Range as needed.
WITH A DYNAMIC RANGE
If you need to dynamically choose the data range, you can use the INDIRECT() function to generate a reference to your desired lookup column. For example, in R1C1 style references, to get the DATA3 column, you would use the following formula:
=INDIRECT("C"&4&")
So in R1C1 style, given that you want to search in the 2nd data column (which is the third column of the spreadsheet), your formula could be:
=INDEX(NAMERANGE,MATCH(621,INDIRECT("C"&3),0))
