Excelchat Expert

Excelchat Expert
17/10/2017 - 03:41
Does this look right?
User

Ok thanks.. will that work if the value under date is an actual date, and item is just mixed text and number? eg. Apple 10.. and under amount would be $20.16 ?
User

See, if you look at the code, TABLE 2 line 2, it still says YES even though A,B,C does not exist anymore in TABLE 1
Excelchat Expert
17/10/2017 - 03:45

let me take a diff approach for the formula..
User
17/10/2017 - 03:49
Ok :)
Excelchat Expert
17/10/2017 - 03:52
can we add an additional column to table 1?
User
17/10/2017 - 03:53
Is it required for the code to work/
User
17/10/2017 - 03:53
?*
Excelchat Expert
17/10/2017 - 03:54
the solution i'm trying would require an additional dummy column
User
17/10/2017 - 03:54
Ok that's fine
Excelchat Expert
17/10/2017 - 03:55
let me update this.. google sheet.. and we will see if this works..
Excelchat Expert
17/10/2017 - 03:56
I've added a formula driven dummy column E
Excelchat Expert
17/10/2017 - 03:57
and the output is captured on L
Excelchat Expert
17/10/2017 - 03:57
let me know if this solves the problem..
User

I guess table 1 would look clean if it doesn't have the Dummy column. I'm sure it's possible to move Dummy column to Table 2 but the data is still coming from table 1?
Excelchat Expert
17/10/2017 - 04:00
yes we can move the dummy column to table 2.. and tweak the formula
User
17/10/2017 - 04:00
Also, I'm assuming there's no way for excel code to match three different cells that are in in the same row, but searches under multiple cells?
User
17/10/2017 - 04:01
You can't use CONCENTRATE inside the formula that checks/matches Table 2 with Table 1? It has to be a separate cell in order for the formula to work?
Excelchat Expert
17/10/2017 - 04:01
excel can selectively look for data in multiple cells.. but to have that in the same sequence would not be possible
Excelchat Expert
17/10/2017 - 04:02
when you are checking in table-1.. you cannot use concatenate aganst and array..
User
17/10/2017 - 04:03
Ok gotcha Thank you
Excelchat Expert
17/10/2017 - 04:03
no probs,..
User
17/10/2017 - 04:03
I will review the formula and make it work with my excel sheet
User
17/10/2017 - 04:03
