    - Vlookup? populate 3 columns of data when match a common value, I have a worksheet with 35,000 row accros 10 colums with 1 column of phy-care giver number (text but it think I can convert it to a number) and in a separate table I have 3 columns of a list of 2,000 phy with the same caregiver number. I would like to match to the lareger data sheet with 3 columns of data on the same row containing Division, subspecialty, and name. I think rather that vlookup I would like to make a formula to reference the caregiver# in the larger data set to the same caregiver number of the smaller phy list then if match populate the next 3 colums of division, subspecialty, and name to the larger sheet.

    - SUMIF with Multiple Conditions I'm new to the community here so bare with me if my lingo isn't up to par just yet. I'm in Excel 2003. My workbook has 2 sheets; 'Inventory' and 'Source'. 'Inventory' has: Month SKU# Beginning Inventory Ending Inventory Jan '08 555 50,000 444 35,000 333 40,000 'Source' has: Order Date SKU# Quantity 01/13/08 555 25,000 01/22/08 444 10,000 01/22/08 444 3,000 01/22/08 333 5,000 01/31/2008 555 3,000 02/13/08 555 2,000 02/22/08 333 1,500 I'm needing to provide the 'Ending Inventory' to the "Inventory" worksheet, using the beginning quantity (in 'Inventory'), subtracting the total quantity for each month (In 'Source'), by SKU #. In my terms, the Ending Inventory for Jan '08, for SKU # 555 above would be: Beginning Inventory shows 50,000 If SKU = 555 & Date is between 01/01/2008:01/31/2008 = 28,000 If SKU = 444 & Date is between 01/01/2008:01/31/2008 = 13,000 It's the 'between this date range' that is throwing me off and then coupling it with the SKU #s.

    - How to Sum Time in Hours & Minutes Hi all, I run a dayhome and am trying to make my life easier on myself with my attendance sheet but can't figure out why the formula wont work. I am trying to get the sum of hours and minutes each child is here during a month so I can easily figure out what to charge the parents. The problem I seem to be having is the total is always more than 24 hours so if I use the formula =SUM(D14:D20) the total only comes up as 0:00:00. I believe I read that, that specific formula is only good when the total is less than 24 hours. Hopefully this is making sense, does anyone know how to make this work?

    - Should I use VLOOKUP? IF? INDEX? I have a column in a large spreadsheet called "warehouse". "Warehouse" (A2 thru A7500) can be one of 25 possible names (MOreturns, MOinv, MOjunk, TXreturns, TX2returns, TXjunk, AZreturns, AZ2, etc.). I am inserting a column (B) where I want the warehouse location to populate unless it is a "junk" warehouse, i.e. if A2=MOreturns, B2=MO; if A3=TXreturns, B3=TX; if A4=AZjunk, B4=blank... I tried using INDEX to match a name list but since it's not a 1:1 relationship, I couldn't get it to work and for some reason my nested IF function came back saying one of my values was the wrong data type (I enclosed the text in " " so I'm not sure what the "wrong type" was). Would a VLOOKUP function work best or a nested IF function? Please give an example of the formula. Please be specific. Thanks! Tag: Basic question - how to do an average Tag: 497314

    - HLOOKUP copied across rows with "row index number" changing I have a workbook that I use to keep track of individulas time worked on specific jobs. One sheet per person. On anygiven sheet, I have a list of jobs in Column A and hours worked on these jobs entered in following columns with the "weeks end" date as the column heading. At the end of each month I need to invoice and wanted to see the totals for a selected month. Because of the nesting limits - I could not use the IF function. So here is how I went about it: I created a range off to the far right of my sheet (which will be hidden). Headings are the months - January thru December. Under those months - I sum the columns for the given month relative to the job in column A. I want to see month totals in Column B. B1 contains the drop down list where I choose the month I want to see. Starting in B5, I entered =HLOOKUP($B$1,$BV$2:$CG$65536,4) where 4 is the same row as B5 where I entered the formula. Now I want to copy the formula down the rows with that "4" (row index number) increaseing as I go. Thanks, Tag: Basic question - how to do an average Tag: 497266

    - Making formula too complicated? Here's the format of the columns/cells I'm working with: col X Y Z AA AB | Qualified | Day | NBC | Night | M203 | In the Qualified column it should be either GO or NO GO The other 4 columns are dates when the event occurs I originally didn't have col AB and the formula was: =IF($B12=""."".IF(Y12="NA","NA",IF(COUNT(Y12:AA12)=3,"GO","NO GO") Col B is where the soldier's name is entered so if there no name Col X is left blank. I had no problems with this formula; however, I now added col AB and now have to make a distinction between the two weapon systems. In col I12 there's a selection of weapons (M4/16, M203, and M9). The formula I had for col X was: =IF($B12=""."".(Y12="NA","NA",IF(I12="M4/16",COUNT(Y12:AA12)=3,"GO","NO GO", IF(I12="M203",COUNT(Y12:AB12)=4,"GO","NO GO"))) I get an error with the GO in the first "NO GO" Any suggestions?
