Vlookup to find one range status with two references

[Sathish G]

Hi experts,

I need your help to match the training completed and not competed formula with below criteria.

Formula expectation:-

* Finding A column names by choosing Training 4288,6599,9075 in sheet2 reference where we have names are trainings.

Sheet1

Sheet2

you could use a countifs(), rather than lookup
what do you want in the cells
using an IF

=countifs(Sheet2!$A$1:$A$1000, $A2,Sheet2!$c$1:$C$1000, B$1)
now if that finds a record , it will return 1 or more
if not then zero 0

so you could add an if

=IF(countifs(Sheet2!$A$1:$A$1000, $A2,Sheet2!$C$1:$C$1000, B$1)>0, "Training Complete', "No Training")
copy across and down
change 1000 rows to whatever the likely maximum will be

I suggest that you update your Account details (or click your user name at the top right of the forum) so helpers always know what Excel version(s) & platform(s) you are using as the best solution often varies by version. (Don’t forget to scroll down & ‘Save’)

thanks a lot!!! working for me

 

[etaf]

glad its worked out , good idea to update your profile for the version you are using, that would help for solutions

 

[Sathish G]

=IF(countifs(Sheet2!$A$1:$A$1000, $A2,Sheet2!$C$1:$C$1000, B$1)>0, "Training Complete', "No Training") Is it possible to highlight "No Training" as Red color? with this formula?

 

[etaf]

yes ,
in conditional formatting
use
countifs(Sheet2!$A$1:$A$1000, $A2,Sheet2!$C$1:$C$1000, B$1)=0

for 2007, 2010 , 2013 , 2016 , 2019 or 365 Subscription excel version
Conditional Formatting

Highlight applicable range >>
B2:D5 - Change, reduce or extend the rows to meet your data range of rows

Home Tab >> Styles >> Conditional Formatting
New Rule >> Use a formula to determine which cells to format
Edit the Rule Description: Format values where this formula is true:
countifs(Sheet2!$A$1:$A$1000, $A2,Sheet2!$C$1:$C$1000, B$1)=0

Format [Number, Font, Border, Fill] - choose fill red
choose the format you would like to apply when the condition is true
OK >> OK

Note: Images are difficult to see , and also requires that I input all the data myself, which means I may make an error, which is very time consuming, and from my point of view less likely to get a response, if a complicated spreadsheet. Plus we cannot see any of the formulas used.

Therefore -

A SMALL sample spreadsheet, around 10-20 rows, would help a lot here, with all sensitive data removed, and expected results mocked up and manually entered, with a few notes of explanation.

This will possibly enable a quicker and more accurate solution for you.

MrExcel has a tool called “XL2BB” that lets you post samples of your data and will allow us to copy/paste your sample data into our Excel spreadsheets, saving a lot of time.

You can also test to see if it works ok, in the "Test Here" forum.

OR if you cannot get XL2BB to work, or have restrictions on your PC

then put the sample spreadsheet onto a share

I only tend to goto OneDrive, Dropbox or google docs , as I'm never certain of other random share sites and possible virus.
