creating a formul

[Guest]

I would like to send the sheet to you however all I have is a list of names
and dollar amounts. This represent earnings that I am tracking. There is
the additional letter as a trailer to some of the names.(this designates
participation in an additional group. The use of clean function does
deletethe letter but the hidden space remains. The use of the trim function
can not correct this situation. I copy the list from the web. If you can
suggest how I might send it to you I will be pleasedto do so. Or any other
suggestions you might have

If you wish, you can send me your sheet, and I'll see what I can figure out.

Cut out cutout from my address.

I have tried to use the suggested formula (=code(mid(a1,5,1,)) and in case
one received 32 as result. when I then go to search replace I have entered
spaces to search and spaces to replace( four blank spaces to search and two
blank spaces to replace.)This does not work and can't figure how else to use
the search replace. Any further help appreciated

I would guess that perhaps the data that's in AX3 doesn't *exactly* match
what's in Column B.

Do you import any of your data?
Are the names "full" names, first, and/or middle and last names, where there
might be a possibilty that the spaces between them might not be a normal
Char(32) space?
Could there be a possibility of leading and/or trailing spaces?

For a test, key a name into Column B.
Enter that same name in *exactly* the same way into AX3, and see if you get
a correct return from your formula.

I tried this formula and get a "not found" also this is how the formula gets
entered. Don't know why. It was entered as below.
=IF(ISNA(MATCH(AX3,[GEO.xls]Sheet2!$B$4:$B$18,0)),"not
found",INDEX([GEO.xls]Sheet2!$Q$4:$Q$18,MATCH(AX3,[GEO.xls]Sheet2!$B$4:$B$18
,0)))
:

Try this in Ay3 of "Miriam":

=IF(ISNA(MATCH(AX3,Geo!$B$4:$B$18,0)),"Not
Found",INDEX(Geo!$K$4:$K$18,MATCH(AX3,Geo!$B$4:$B$18,0)))

You can then *double click* on the "fill handle" in the lower right corner
of AY3, which will *automatically* copy the formula in AY3 down Column AY,
as far as there is data in Column AX.

Thanks for the help. I am confronted with a new scenario which I'll
present
for help.

One worksheet titled geo I have a list of names b4 thru b18 and data in
k4thru k18. I want to transfere the data to worksheet titled miriam after
searching for the exact names. The names of the second worksheet are
column
ax3 thru ax89. Hope this makes sense to you.

First question:

Replace error message with a null ( "" ), which can then be added:

=IF(ISNA(MATCH(A1,'Sheet2'!$A$1:$A$10,0)),"",VLOOKUP(A1,
'Sheet2'!$A$1:$D$10, 4, 0)

I keep saying thanks, your help is outstanding. I would like to ask two
additional questions. ie: When I enter my formula into the cells of
column
A
in a number of cells it returns a value in a few it returns#N/A. There
is
no data in those cases but with the #n?A when I try to add the columns
will
not do so as it cant enter a non digit. I'm using 0 for the last number
in
my formula. How best to get around this.

Also I've copied a table from USA internet. In pasting to worksheet all
the
cells are obliterated and nothing is recognized by excel. The data is
however recognized in (pardon me) lotus. Is there anyway of having my
vlookup formula search 123 in place of a sheet in excel. =vlookup(a1,
sheet2!$A$1:$j$31, 10,0). Hope these questions make sense to someone

:

George,

The 4 is the third parameter of the VLOOKUP function, and tells it to
retrieve the cell in the 4th column of the range being looked up in.
Did
I
say being looked up in? Oh, well.

Thanks for the help. I know I'll fully understand the formula
structure
soon. One question, at end of formula ,4,0 what in fact does the 4
make
reference to?

:

Try this:

=VLOOKUP(A1, 'Sheet2'!$A$1:$D$10, 4, 0)

Thanks for the help. One further question.
In the formul In sheet 2 $A$1:$b$10makes reference to two
adjacent
columns.
If there is a column between so there is data in a and c and none
in
b
the
result return err,the formula in this cell referes to cells that
are
currently emply. How to get around this. ie" if sheet two has
data
in
column
a and column d.

thanks

George,

In B1 of sheet 1:
=VLOOKUP(A1, 'Sheet2'!$A$1:$B$10, 2, FALSE)

Copy down with fill handle to B10.

Trying to create a formula to do the following:
Sheet 1 column A a list of personal names a1-a10

Sheet 2 has list of names a1-a10 and list of dollar amounts
colums
d1-d10

want to search sheet one and if any name from sheet 2 found
on
sheet 1
than
the corresponding dollar amount is entered.

Any help appreciated.

A new question.
I am able to copy data from column of numbers to a corresponding column
using the following basic formula =b11 to represent column b row 11. In the
corresponding column I can drag the first cell data down the column and all
data is transfered. I there a formula to use to data from rows to columns
using the same concept. I am looking to have the column heading change and
the data row remaing the same.

This will copy Row 10, from Column A, to as many columns as you drag down
the formula:
..
=INDEX($10:$10,,ROW(A1))

[Guest]

I have two questions that hope I can get help with.

have lotus worksheet that is read only. I followed instructions from help
menu but get an error message: an error occured applying atributes to the
file, access denied. The file is on a CD, selected it, went to
file,properties and removed the check for read only. Then the error message.

Second question, Have a worksheet with 50 rows. have a second worksheet
with 50 calculations. Want to create a formula that will transfere numbers
at 29 number intervals to each of the 50 rows any and all help appreciated
