Ignoring certain data

[Guest]

Hello,

How do you get excel to ignore certain data when reading a cell?

I want to use VLOOKUP to match a cell reading "NP001" with "N001"

Or even better I want to use it in a SumProduct Formula:

=SUMPRODUCT((A1:A10="N001")*(B1:B10=--"02/06/06");C1:C10)

Thanks,
P

Hi Ross,

maybe this is good for you:

=SUMPRODUCT((SUBSTITUTE(A1:A10,"P","")="N001")*(B1:B10=--"02/06/06");C1:C10)

Thank you that does work to an extent, however my cell keeps returning #VALUE
as it is text I am trying to return not numbers, any suggestions on a way
round this?

Thanks,
Ross

But in your first post you said you want to use SUMPRODUCT.. This function
is used to make calculation, so need almost 1 range with numbers... If you
have only text, we have to change... Try to post an example of the way you
would use VLOOKUP...

(I'm not sure of names of menues, option and commands, because
translating from the Italian version of Excel...)

Thanks,

Maybe you can add a first column in which you can concatenate the code and
the date and then use a VLOOKUP funcition like this:

=VLOOKUP(A2&A3,A58,4,FALSE)

where in A2 you put the code (S59) and in A3 the date (1/4/2006 00:00) you
want to search for.

Adjust the references.
