Excel 2010 , MATCH / transfer of data from master to smaller fil

Hi guys ,

Next Q for you ..... Scenario is to transpose certain columns of a master file data (tab 2) into a smaller consolidated table (tab 1)

A subset of data below , but this is 1500+ rows of data

the ? denotes the match up I need to do (Positive or negative to <tab 2>)

So TAB 1 'Merged Sheet'

Column A H I J K

Code Branch 4 Branch 4 Branch 6 Branch 6
Previous Rate Previous Rate
DR ? ? ? ?
CE ? ? ? ?
31 ? ? ? ?
32 ? ? ? ?
J6 ? ? ? ?

Tab 2 'Master Branch'

The is the master data that needs to be lifted and matched where applicable to the above from columns G & L (1578 rows)

Column G L
Branch Code
4 DR
6 DR
6 CE
4 J6

So in the example above Code DR should populate across all instances of branch 4 & 6 (Columns H-K) , whereas code CE should populate just against Branch 6 (Columns J-K) .

As I say , this is just a subset , the branches go right out to branch 31 , and the 'codes' have 1578 permutations . But I think by doing the small subset above , I can then build out the rest of the formula across the remainder of the large table in TAB 1 .

tks in advance as always .

RE: Excel 2010 , MATCH / transfer of data from master to smaller

Hi Stephen,

Thank you for your question. Would it be at all possible to email us a sample spreadsheet containing an extract of the data? That would simply give us a better understanding of the layout and we can also then make sure the formulas work properly.

Please email a sample to forum@stl-training.co.uk

Kind regards
Marius Barnard


 

Excel tip:

Change the Print button so it brings up the Print dialogue box

If you want to bring up the Print dialogue box to check your print settings when you hit the Print button, do the following:

1. Right-click on the toolbar that displays the Print button.

2. Select Customise.

3. Click on the Print button on the toolbar to select it, then hold the left mouse button down and drag the button towards the screen below. The button should come off the toolbar.

4. In the Customise dialogue box on your screen, select the Commands tab.

5. Select File from the Categories list, and then locate the Print... icon (looks like the normal Print button, but the word Print has three dots following it).

6. Click on the Print... icon to select it, then use your left mouse to drag and drop the icon onto the toolbar at the top of the screen.

7. Close the Customise dialogue box.
