VLOOKUP gives incorrect/unexpected results

HI guys

I used to think I had this spreadsheet thing down pat, but I find myself place after midnight with a VLOOKUP problem struggle! I really hope that you can show me the error of my ways...

I'm a convert from Excel so I can be taken in a mind control thing. I built a fairly large things relating of worksheet to do a lot of hobbies. I give it to the people who do the same kind of thing I do. It calculates the SOAP making tips, but I just found out that he gets things wrong - that is potentially dangerous.

I have a version simplified that what is happening in the picture above. In the F2 cell I: VLOOKUP (E2, values: results, 2, the search by proximity-match).

Now, I expect the numbers look down column B to find the value in cell E2 (1.90) and return the corresponding value of the C column (19.0). However, it does not. Instead, it provides the value of the cell above as if it could not find a match.

I tried every setting I can think of nothing doesn't. I put all the cells in the table above to a number to 2 decimal places. I even changed the exact match and close match but that just made things worse.

I know it's going to be something that will make me to get started me, but I need to fix no will not hurt. Any help gratefully received.

Cheers, Grant

PS I think I should mention that I do this on an iPad 2 air which is a bit new for me. And I just noticed I have write in figures for Mac. I'm sorry for that but I think that the versions are supposed to have the same capabilities?

I suspect that you use calculated values, rather than hand is entered in your "Search values" column, and even if you have formatted the column to display two decimal places, due to approximations that occur when doing calculations decimal on a computer using binary mathematics, the actual values using the VLOOKUP function differ slightly as many additional decimals on any line. If you wrap each calculation in a function to change the actual value with 2 decimal places, if the cell contains exactly what your put poster in the form, you will get the desired result.

  • Round off to infinity gives an unexpected result in my VI-

    In the file attached, the resultant expected after round to-Infinity is 10, but what gives LabVIEW is 9.  Anyone know why?

    I divided by 0,166 10 1.66 and rounding to-infinity must give 10.  But LabVIEW give 9.

    In the digital representation of rounding error is the problem. The thing to remember is this decimal floating representations are approximations, while the real result of the calculation is 10, you can't really represent 10 exactly as a floating point number. While the indicator can say 10, internal representation of the answer is something like 9.999999999999999 - which is very, very close to 10, but when you go to turn it still gets rounded down.

    This isn't a problem with LV, it is inherent in the floating point representations.

  • Problem with pantone and 'effect of mix' gives 'of unexpected results.

    Hey!

    This is the case:
    Im working on one design racing car and I need a pantone mix to match a graphic film 3 m.
    I have a graphic film that will apply to the front of the car. This film of 3 m spesific equality / match pantone 165 C.
    The other half of the car is supposed to have a printed film applied. on this impression, I have a mix (complex, cannot be used in this case degraded form) from a dark place
    CMYK color and ending in Pantone 165 C. The result of the printing is not as I want it to be. Smooth smoothing on the screen has turned into something and is not quite usable.

    My question is that is can not turn the spot pantone to process, because then I will not have control over the outcome of the printer. The people of said production if they print in CMYK the result will not be 165 C.
    I need the Pantone to be printed in Pantone 165C to match the packaging film.

    I did some testprints and it seems to be an issue between illustrator and printer.

    Is it possible to solve this problem and still have total control of color?

    Greatfull for any help in this matter!

    Too everyone. Thanks for all the good advice and to comment on it.
    The solution for me was simply to send the file to the production elsewhere.

  • sdo_cs. Transform gives incorrect results...

    Hi all

    I try to convert the projection Ordnance Survey coordinates WGS84, British National Grid. When the conversion comes out all points are approximately 100 metres west northwest. The native srid is 81989 (BGSO) and I am trying to convert 8307 or 4326, all two wgs84 lat/long and give the same results.

    Is it possible the problem lies in the conversion between a Cartesian and spherical coordinate system?

    Here is the code:

    Select sdo_cs.transform (SDO_GEOMETRY (2001, 81989, SDO_POINT (367597, 80975, NULL), NULL, NULL), 8307) twice;

    which translates into:

    MDSYS. SDO_GEOMETRY (2001,8307, MDSYS. SDO_POINT_TYPE(-2.45816262176897,50.6276801063492,null), NULL, null)

    However, the returned coordinates must be:

    -2.45950270 / / 50.62750125

    All comments appreciated! Thank you.

    Yes, 10g did not have reference parameters required in the definition.

    If you're on 10 gr 2 (for example, 10.2.0.4), you can update your SRID, with the following script (if you're on 10gR 1, please let me know, first of all).

    (You can change the WKTEXT back the same way, if you cut and paste the current value of WKTEXT into a text backup file). Usually, we do not suggest to change the existing definitions, but rather to create new variants of these definitions. In this case, however, you simply change the definition of 10g in the definition of 11g, which is fine.

  • I have an Airport Express, which gives an unexpected error message when you try to connect to an existing network of WEP.  Any ideas.  Tried the factory returned. He was knocked offline when someone dug into the telco cables.

    I have an Airport Express, which gives an unexpected error message when you try to connect to a router WEP (Verizon) existing iOS9.3.2

    It flashes orange, but can not be reconnected to the router or to the title of the Setup Assistant or Airport utility.  Is there a way to reconnect to WIFI or should I bite the bullet and connect via Cat5e and be done with it.  My VPN works much better without AirPort Express connected.

    Sorry, but there is no WEP settings AirPort Utility on the iPhone or iPad, or any Mac version of AirPort Utility which was used for the last 4 years or so.

    If you have an older Mac still running AirPort 5.x utility or a PC with the AirPort for Windows utility installed on the device, the WEP settings that could be used to get the Express to connect to a WEP network there.

    As you know, WEP has not been secured for a number of years, and there are any number of free utilities available on the Internet, which is crack a WEP network in a few seconds. Thus, all those who want to be on your network will not have problems to do very quickly.

    But it's your call.

  • DAQmxReadAnalogF64 gives unexpected results with 9239 of Ni - DAQmx

    Hi all

    I use a NI 9239 with a laser sensor, and I would like to acquire some pressure readings of the probe which measures the height. It works very well with Ni Max, but not in C + c++ / MFC app I am developing. I get something that looks like amplidied noise:
    1 reading scale doesn't seem fair (pressure readings I get from range - 2E9 to 2E9)
    2 changes in what the sensor is supposed to measure does not appear in my measurements at all, there is nothing other than the noise (as if I were acquires bad chain - this I double checked)
    I would like to get the same result as in Ni Max, but may not know what wrong with my code (below).

    Thanks for your help,

    Ben

    DAQmx Configure Code
    DAQmxErrChk (DAQmxCreateTask ("LaserReading", & taskHandle));

    TRACE("%d\n",data[i]);
    }

  • Unflattening table FXP gives incorrect results

    Hello

    I am trying to send data from my RIO to PC via Ethernet.

    To do this, I'm flattening of data (a table of numbers FXP) string on the RIO.

    On the PC, I'm unflattening data, but get different results.

    No idea what is the problem?

    Attached files:

    Voltages.VI - code PC

    DMARead - code on RIO.

    Thanks in advance!

    Kyle

    Hi Kyle,.

    Thank you for your post and welcome to the forums of NOR.

    The first suggestion I'd make is, data FXP you go around, you made sure the lengths of words and whole numbers are the same on both sides? If they are different, you expect the data to be different.

    Thank you

  • Count (*) using partitioned index gives incorrect results

    I have a table partitioned by hash with 4 index the.

    When I run this query result is 13649:

    ORDER BY point;

    When I run this query result is 13648:

    SELECT COUNT (*)

    WHERE store = 6010;

    I rebuild all indexes, but the results are the same. Can anyone point to a bug or something that can explain this?

    I dropped and recreated the indices and values are correct now. Reconstruction did not work.

    Thanks for all the help.

  • PL/SQL procedure in another scheme gives unexpected result call

    I have a SQL Script that does this:
    Conn pnr / < password of user pnr >;
    Set serveroutput on;
    exec vms.disable_all_fk_constraints;
    SELECT the owner, constraint_name, status FROM user_constraints WHERE constraint_type = 'R ';

    and the disable_all_fk_constraints procedure, which is owned by the user 'vms' is defined as:
    create or replace
    procedure disable_all_fk_constraints is
    v_sql VARCHAR2 (4000);
    Start
    dbms_output.put_line ('disable all referential integrity constraints.');
    for rec in (SELECT table_name, constraint_name FROM user_constraints WHERE constraint_type = 'R') loop
    dbms_output.put_line ('Disabling constraint' | rec.constraint_name |) 'from ' | Rec.table_name | '.');

    execute immediate (v_sql);
    end loop;
    end;

    When I run the script SQL, the call to vms.disable_all_fk_constraints disables the FK forced in the schema "vms", while I wanted to disable the FK constraints in schema "pnr" (the applicant of the procedure). I know I could do this job by copying disable_all_fk_constraints to the 'pnr' schema procedure and calling it as "+ exec disable_all_fk_constraints; +"inside, the SQL script but I want to avoid having to duplicate the PL/SQL procedure in each schema that uses it.

    What can I do?

    Create the procedure with AUTHID CURRENT_USER, like this:

    create or replace
    procedure disable_all_fk_constraints
    AUTHID  CURRENT_USER               -- Added
    is
        v_sql VARCHAR2(4000);
    begin
        ...
    

    With AUTHID DEFINE (which is the default), everything that happens inside the stored procedure goes as if the Owers of procedure was done, except that the USER function returns always the name of the actual user.

  • Unexpected results after calculation

    Hello.

    I have 3 databases of production which have worked successfully until Thursday.

    FARM sales for the whole company per month.

    EB2. Sale of a specific division a week.

    EB3. Sale of a specific division and top ranges, per day.

    Thursday.

    The problem is that after calculation of EB3, the totals I see in the validation reports are incorrect when compared with the totals in the EB1.

    The whole story is the display of incorrect results, not only the data for the current month, which is that I charge per day.  I'm doing an incremental loading of the current and previous month only.

    I took a backup and loaded in the EB3 and performed the calculation... once again the totals were incorrect.

    Friday

    When I compare the validation reports, totals in EB3 were as expected when checking against the EB1.

    I did nothing for the outline, the backup is the same.

    EB1 and EB2 were ok.

    Saturday (today)

    When I see the validation report today I noticed that EB3 has the same behavior; incorrect results.

    And EB2 also contains unexpected values after calculation.

    Have you encountered this problem before?  Is there something specific I should review to determine and solve this problem?

    Log files reflect not any message "error" or "fail".

    Any comment is welcome.

    Kind regards

    JC

    Difficult to clarify the question without knowing what actually do the calculations. Just a suggesiton wild as you see error every day replacing when you see good results just make a backup of contour and then use the problematic day contour compare to compare 2 contours. May be there are some jobs that you are not aware of the evolution of the sketch, thus destabilizing the whole of the data!

  • How to stop the address bar to give me search results?

    Then just update my firefox. When I type something into the address bar, first of all I give myself a symbol magnifying glass with "suggestions" of what I might be typing. I already have firefox to see the only my bookmarks or Favorites in the address bar, so I don't know why I make suggestions. For example, a bookmark I begins with the letter E, so as soon as I start typing the letter E, the magnifying glass symbol appears and I get a result for ebay. All I want is to type the full address in me or for firefox suggest to my favorites, nothing else.

    This is not the default. If you disable or remove Swag Bucks, this behavior goes away? Disable or remove modules

  • Why the division operator give me different results in different screws?

    Hi all

    I'm quite the LabVIEW newbie, so please forgive me if it's elementary.  I have a signal that I'm acquisition.  The signal is fairly low amplitude (.01-0,1 V).  During each acquisition, I share the values of the sample defined by another few (0.047) using the division operator.  I see inconsistent results and I am puzzled as to why.

    In ex1, which I built from scratch for this post, everything works as expected.  I can confirm with the debugger that every reading of the sample overall is well divided and the average, max and waveform graph look like I expect.

    When I use a similar construction in my real application, however, the division often results in the INF file, and when I look with the debugger I see after fracture of the values of the signal... just don't make sense to me (x 2).

    I thought I must be missing something in the real application associated with split and merge multiple signals, so I ripped out everything except the Division (ex3).  Although this code looks a lot like the ex1 works well, the product always division infs and strange results.

    These three examples receive the same signal.  My best guess is at this point that the built-from-scratch example is force double passes to the operator of division "the right way" and that the examples of dysfunction are force double in a different way, incorrect.  I tried to delete and re-create the signal path in the examples of dysfunction without result.  My problem is that I don't know enough about the LabVIEW data types to find out how to impose the appropriate constraint.

    Can someone point me in the right direction for a solution?  I would be very happy to help.

    Your first image divides your signal of 0.047. Your second and third images are 0.047 dividing your signal. Reverse your son in fracture on image 2 and 3 knots, and I think you should be ok.

  • Incorrect aggregate results with a total of 11.1.1.7.140527 report-oriented

    We are moving to OBIEE from version 11.1.1.6.0 to version 11.1.1.7.140527.  We noticed that some of the aggregated results are incorrect in the new version.  If we edit the columns of measure in the analysis to disable the State of total aggregation based on the report on the measure columns, then we get the correct results.

    Is this a bug in the new version?  We did not have this problem in 11.1.1.6.0.  Based on the report totals are enabled by default, so we need for our users to disable this function for each column as they add and for each measure on the existing analysis column to ensure correct results.  This is not feasible.

    Is there a way to manage it globally in the repository or with some setting overall so the total report-oriented are not on by default?

    Thank you

    Travis

    The problem turned out to be an incorrect sort on our ODBC data source type.  He has been to sort based on hexadecimal values rather than sorting based on the ID of the language.  Database SORT_ORDER_LOCALE in the repository functionality has made the English-United States, so he expected the data extracted from the database to sort based on the English of the United States.  When the data has been sorted by hexadecimal values, numbers have been sorted after characters.  This caused a problem when a dimension column had some values beginning with numbers and others from alpha characters, and the BI server would assemble multiple result sets.  The rows with values of dimension from numbers were missing data in some columns.  We turned off totals based on the report, the physical SQL has been changed so the Server BI had no need to assemble result sets.  That mask the problem, but was not the solution.

    Hi cardel,

    I think that you can achieve your goal if you build a dimension of the array STAT form, you can create a table Alias in the physical layer and then to join the table of facts (external to the left). In this way, I think that you can solve your problem.

    Let me know.

    Kind regards
