Another multiple criteria/column question
snobordr <snobordr.2ahmco_1152128410.442[ at ]excelforum-nospam.com> 05.07.2006 19:36:07
Ok, first post and pretty much a new user to Excel. I have two sheets that I am working with, trying to recall data from one to the other that meets criteria. In a nutshell:

Sheet 1 contains a column of unique values (col A), cols C,D, and E are where I want to insert the formula to find data on Sheet 2.

Sheet 2 contains 4 columns, A contains multiple occurrences of each value (from Sheet1, column A), each with its own timestamp in column D.

On Sheet1, in column C, I want to find a value on Sheet2 in column A and return the timestamp in column D. I know I can use VLOOKUP for this.

=VLOOKUP(B2,'Sheet2'!,A:A,4)

WHat I need to do is:

For Sheet1, column C:
Find the value (on Sheet2) with a timestamp in between minute 00 and minute 19

For Sheet1, column D:
Find the value on Sheet2 with a timestamp between minute 20 and minute 39

For Sheet1, column E:
Find the value on Sheet2 with a timestamp between minute 40 and minute 59



Ok, it may not even make sense, but as I said, learning Excel here so a lot of this is completely foreign to me. -- snobordr ------------------------------------------------------------------------ snobordr's Profile: http://www.excelforum.com/member.php?action=getinfo&userid=36075 View this thread: http://www.excelforum.com/showthread.php?threadid=558617

=INDEX(Sheet2!$D$2:$D$20,MATCH(1,(Sheet1!$A2=Sheet2!$A$2:$A$20)*
(MINUTE(Sheet2!$D$2:$D$20)>=0)*(MINUTE(Sheet2!$D$2:$D$20)<20),0))

=INDEX(Sheet2!$D$2:$D$20,MATCH(1,(Sheet1!$A2=Sheet2!$A$2:$A$20)*
(MINUTE(Sheet2!$D$2:$D$20)>=20)*(MINUTE(Sheet2!$D$2:$D$20)<40),0))

=INDEX(Sheet2!$D$2:$D$20,MATCH(1,(Sheet1!$A2=Sheet2!$A$2:$A$20)*
(MINUTE(Sheet2!$D$2:$D$20)>=40)*(MINUTE(Sheet2!$D$2:$D$20)<=60),0))

which are array formulae, it should be committed with Ctrl-Shift-Enter, not
just Enter.

Ok, thanks for the help and I get the concept now. What I don't get are the results that I should from using these formula. The column I am referencing for the time filter is retrieved from a MS SQL database and comes in their datetime format. The minute ><= functionality is not working correctly and I am wondering if this is due to the format from SQL.

Thanks again. ;) -- snobordr ------------------------------------------------------------------------ snobordr's Profile: http://www.excelforum.com/member.php?action=getinfo&userid=36075 View this thread: http://www.excelforum.com/showthread.php?threadid=558617
