Hi JA,

I'm glad for your attitude to help in Excel forums. I have a problem where I have to segregate some information based on its contents.

Air - 1 Train - 2 Bus - 3

I have cells containing various words from which I have to search the above three words in their respective columns and write their corresponding values in the same row. I have tried using the FIND and SEARCH functions, but have not succeeded. Please provide me with information at my email address "vijay_adwade@rediffmail.com".

How can we calculate the time spent by an employee, in case the company gives double payment for overtime? The working hours are "8 hours" per day, and more than 8 hours means overtime hours. How could we calculate on a monthly basis, supposing an employee takes some leaves as well in Excel? Try to extend your supposition to address every doubt for calculating overtime hours for an employee in Excel. Thank you.

Hi JA,

This is a good initiative, and Excel must be the second most commonly used (if not the most) MS Office application by HR and many other professionals. Thus, I would second Jaipreet's request to kindly upload the same on Cite HR so everyone can benefit.

Thanks and regards,

Nipun

Solution

Insert the Match formula in the third argument of the VLookup formula.

Step 1: Define 2 names
1. Select Row 1, press Ctrl+F3, type the name Row1 in the Names in workbook field, and click OK.
2. Select the data table by pressing Ctrl+*. Then press Ctrl+F3, enter Data in the Names in workbook field, and click OK.

Step 2: Enter the Match formula
1. Open an adjacent worksheet, and select cell A1.
2. In cell A1, type 4/1/2001.
3. In cell B1, enter the formula =MATCH(A1, Row1, 0). (Be careful to enter the value 0 in the third argument to specify the search for an exact value.)
4. Results of calculation: 7.

Step 3: Enter the Vlookup formula
1. Enter the account number 201 into cell A2.
2. Enter the formula =VLOOKUP(A2, Data, B1) in cell B2. In the third argument of the VLookup formula, select a cell which contains the Match formula.
3. Calculation results: 7,981.

Step 4: Combine the formulas
1. In the formula bar (Match formula) of cell B1, select the formula without the = sign, press Ctrl+C, and click the Cancel sign (from the left of the formula in the formula bar). Select cell B2, and in the formula bar, select the address B1.
2. Press Ctrl+V and press Enter.
3. The final result is a nested formula:
=VLOOKUP(A2, Data, MATCH(A1, Row 1, 0))

Your company doesn't sound very enjoyable. Can you elaborate on your request? Are you merely asking for a timer to tell you how long Excel has been opened? What if the user reboots the PC, what do you want then? What if the user goes on a break but leaves Excel open?
