Find a word containing in a lookup using VLOOKUP


You can do a sort of fuzzy match with VLOOKUP. If you aren‘t sure if your lookup table will contain Red, Red Masala, or Red Masala Pvt, you can use =VLOOKUP("Red*",Table,2,False), and Excel will find the first item in the lookup table that starts with Red.

Pivot table for Each item in Report Filter - Hidden Feature

The pivot table below shows products across the top and customers down the side. The pivot table is sorted so the largest customers are at the top. The Sales Rep field is in the report filter. If you open the Rep dropdown, you can filter the data to any one sales rep. This is a great way to create a report for each sales rep. Each report summarizes the revenue from a particular salesperson‘s customers, with the biggest customers at the top. And you get to see the split between the various products. The Excel team has hidden a feature called Show Report Filter Pages. Select any pivot table that has a field in the report filter. Go to the Analyze tab (or the Options tab in Excel 2007/2010).

Excel asks which field you want to use. Select the one you want (in this case the only one available) and click OK. Over the next few...

Turn Data Sideways

Someone built this lookup table sideways, stretching across C1:N2. I realize that I could use HLOOKUP instead of VLOOKUP, but I prefer to turn the data back to a vertical orientation. Copy C1:N2. Right-click in A4 and choose the Transpose option under the Paste Options. Transpose is the fancy Excel word for “turn the data sideways.” I transpose a lot. But I use  Alt+E ,  S ,  E ,  Enter  to transpose instead of the right-click. There is a problem, though. Transpose is a one-time snapshot of the data. What if you have formulas in the horizontal data? Is there a way to transpose with a formula? The first way is a bit bizarre. If you are trying to transpose 12 horizontal cells, you need to select 12 vertical cells in a single selection. Start typing a formula such as  =TRANSPOSE(C2:N2)  in the active cell but do not press Enter. Instead, hold down  Ctrl+Shift  and then press  Enter . This puts a single array formula in the selected cells. T...
