Let's say i have the below list of Whole numbers in Column A. If you observe the list of numbers, you will see that number "5" and 6 is missing.
A
3
2
4
1
7
8
what I want to achieve is to place (sort) the numbers on the column such that each cell value will take its position according to excel row numbering. which means:
I should have something like this
1
2
3
4
7
If it's as simple as stated, this should work.
In column B, say:
=IF(COUNTIF(A:A,ROW())>0,ROW(),"")
Note: It does not account for duplicates, or anything complicated really.
Further Note: To clarify, all this does is check if the row that the formula is in, is in column A. If it is, then it returns the current row.

I have 7 columns to choose from and I need to pick 4 of those columns and generate a total for each row. I also need every combination of 4, which means I'll have 35 new columns with the totals for each of those combinations showing in each row. I need the code for this and if it can be done only using Excel. Here is an image of the columns and the grayed ones are the 7 columns I'm talking about. My knowledge of Excel is very limited. There are over 1,500 rows if that matters.
multi step approach that is going to use some helper rows. there may be a more elegant formula that will do this, and much slicker options in VBA, but this is a formula only approach.
Step 1 - Generate List of Column Combination
To generate the list 4 helper rows will need to be insert at the top of your data. either above or below you header row. These 4 rows will represent the column number you are going to pick. To keep the math simpler for me I just assumed the 1 for the first column and 7 for the last column. those numbers will get converted to later to account for column in between in your spreadsheet. For the sake of this example The first combination sum will occur in column AO and the first helper row will be row 1. The first combination will be hard coded and it will seed the pattern for the remainder of column combinations. Enter the following values in the corresponding cells:
AO1 = 1
AO2 = 2
AO3 = 3
AO4 = 4
In the adjacent column a formula will be placed and copied to the right. It will automatically augment the bottom value by 1 until it hits its maximum value at which point the value in the row above will increase by 1 and the the value of the current will be 1 more than the cell above. This will produce a pattern that covers all 35 combinations by the time column BW is reached. Place the formulas below in the appropriate cell and copy to the right:
AP1
=IF(AO2=5,AO1+1,AO1)
AP2
=IF(AO2=5,AP1+1,IF(AO3=6,AO2+1,AO2))
AP3
=IF(AO3=6,AP2+1,IF(AO4=7,AO3+1,AO3))
AP4
=IF(AO4=7,AP3+1,AO4+1)
Step2 - Sum The Appropriate Columns
I was hoping to use a some sort of array type operation to read through the column reference numbers above, but I could not get my head around it. Since it was just 4 entries to worry about I simply added each reference manually in a SUM function. Now the important thing to note is that we will be using the INDEX function over the 13 columns that cover the range of your columns so to convert the index number we figured out above, to something that will work to grab every second row, the number that was calculated will be multiplied by 2 and then 1 will be subtracted. That means 1,2,3,4 for the first column combination becomes 1,3,5,7. You can see this in the following formula. Place the following formula in the appropriate cell and copy down and to the right as needed.
AO5
=INDEX($AB5:$AN5,AO$1*2-1)+INDEX($AB5:$AN5,AO$2*2-1)+INDEX($AB5:$AN5,AO$3*2-1)+INDEX($AB5:$AN5,AO$4*2-1)
pay careful attention to the $ which will lock row or column reference and prevent them from changing as the formula is copied.
Now you may need to adjust the cell references to match your sheet.
I have
Year 1 2 3 4 5 6
I'm trying to make it so that each year number 1-6 is equal to another number value i.e. Year 1 is equal to 5. Year 2 is equal to 6.
You will not be able to store one value in a cell and use a different value for calculation. However you may do this calculation with the help of a lookup from another table,
Assuming you have the years in Column A and the corresponding mappings are in Column E and F, you can use the below formula in Column B,
=INDEX(E:F,MATCH(A1,E:E,0),2) * 2
This formula lookups the value in A1 in the table E:F and returns the corresponding Column F element. That is finally multiplied with the 2 to show your result. Instead of just using just A1 for multiplying by 2, you should be using INDEX(E:F,MATCH(A1,E:E,0),2). Hope this helps.
In Excel, I am trying to make a cell based of the values contained in two other cells.
I need Cells X and Y to have data based on Cells L and #, like so....
X Y L 1 2 3 4 5 6
A 6 1 1 6;1 6;1 7;1 7;2 7;2 8;1
B 7 2 4 6;1 6;1 7;1 7;2 7;2 8;1
So row A, has columns X and Y filled based of the values in the number columns. The specific number needed is what is filled in in column L.
I am not sure the best way to phrase this question. If my example doesn't make sense, I can try to clarify or provide more examples.
I have no idea if this can be done with fancy formulas or with a VBA macro or two. I am an excel noob.
If I've understood your question correctly you can do this with a combination of Left/Right, Index and search.
In my example images, the user inputs their value in column D, and then columns B and C use the formulea
=LEFT(INDEX($F2:$K2,1,$D2),(SEARCH(";",INDEX($F2:$K2,1,$D2))-1))
=RIGHT(INDEX($F2:$K2,1,$D2),(SEARCH(";",INDEX($F2:$K2,1,$D2))-1))
respectively
Here, the Index function returns the correct column to look at (i.e. the value chosen by the user, the Search function finds the position of the semi-colon, and the left/right functions return the values either side of the semi-colon.
Working a step higher then COUNTIFS, I appose a challenge to write a formula without VBA code. The basic data is combined from 1000s of rows with:
Column A: rows with values from 1 to 3
Column B: rows with values from 1 to 250.
For this purpose lets say, we are looking at all cells of value "1" in column A, that suit value "5" in column B. To find all matches, we'd use COUNTIFS command.
1 1
2 5
1 5
1 7
1 10
3 45
2 12
1 2
2 1
=COUNTIFS(A1:A9;1;B1:B9;5)
The answer here is 1.
Next thing, the "5" in column B belongs to a group, e.g. group from 1 to 9. What would the best way be, to count all the matches in this example, so that for all "1"'s in column A, we'd have to find all matches with values from 1 to 9 in column B?! In the upper example that would result in "4". The obvious solution is with a series of IF commands, but that's unefficient and it easy to make a mistake, that get's easily overseen.
=COUNTIFS(A1:A9;1;B1:B9;"<="&9)
Works only as the upper limit. If I give the third criteria range and condition as ">="&1 it does not work - returns 0.
Gasper
Where the data is in A1:B9, using a lookup table in D1:E10 with letters A-J in column D and numbers 0 to 9 in column E and the following formula in B11 referencing letters entered in A11 and A12:
=COUNTIFS(A1:A9,1,B1:B9,">="&VLOOKUP(A11,$D$1:$E$10,2,FALSE),B1:B9,"<="&VLOOKUP(A12,$D$1:$E$10,2,FALSE))
works, changing the letters in A11 and A12 gives the correct count according to what they correspond to in the looku in D1:E10.
When you say give third criteria range do you mean:
=COUNTIFS(A1:A9;1;B1:B9;"<="&9,B1:B9;">=1")
If so then try:
=COUNTIFS(A1:A9;1;B1:B9;AND("<="&9,;">=1"))
ie have two conditional ranges with the second range having both conditions combined with AND()
Maybe what you want(ed) is:
=COUNTIFS(A:A;1;B:B;">=1";B:B;"<=9")
Almost there. I noticed that three criteria ranges and conditions work only if I use "=" sign in a condition. As soon as I use
=COUNTIFS(A1:A9;1;B1:B9;"<="&9,B1:B9;">=1")
it returns 0. My goal is to eventualy replace the number in a condition with a VLOOKUP command, so the final equation should be smth like
=COUNTIFS(A1:A9;1;B1:B9;"<="&VLOOKUP(...),B1:B9;">=VLOOKUP(...)")
But the "<" and ">" signs mess with this. Still looking for a solution.
This is my entire line, if it offers any further indication. The AND() commands is at the end - and it still results in 0
=COUNTIFS(INDIRECT(CONCATENATE("baza!$";SUBSTITUTE(ADDRESS(1;MATCH("card_type_id";baza!$A$1:$AAA$1;0);4);"1";"");"$2:$";SUBSTITUTE(ADDRESS(1;MATCH("card_type_id";baza!$A$1:$AAA$1;0);4);"1";"");"$15000"));IF(C6="računska";1;0);INDIRECT(CONCATENATE("baza!$";SUBSTITUTE(ADDRESS(1;MATCH(IF($C$4="CC_SI_klasifikacija";"building_classification_id";0);baza!$A$1:$AAA$1;0);4);"1";"");"$2:$";SUBSTITUTE(ADDRESS(1;MATCH(IF($C$4="CC_SI_klasifikacija";"building_classification_id";0);baza!$A$1:$AAA$1;0);4);"1";"");"$15000"));AND("<="&VLOOKUP($C$5;$K$203:$N$223;4;FALSE);">="&VLOOKUP($C$5;$K$203:$N$223;3;FALSE)))
I am trying to compare two columns in excel, A and B. Column A contains a complete list of customer numbers. Column B contains an incomplete list of the same customer numbers. So if a customer number is in A, but not in B then output that number to column C.
I'd use the MATCH function in combination with ISNA.
If I have the following table
A B C
1 4
2 3
3 1
4 7
5 2 5
6 6
7
I put in column 'A' the full customer list, and in column B is a random ordered partial list. I then put the function in C1 (and the rest of column C):
=IF(ISNA(MATCH(A1,B:B,0)),A1, "")
Now I see the values '5' and '6' only in column C, because those are the only two numbers that don't appear in column B.
In Cel C1 =IF(ISERROR(VLOOKUP(A1,$B$1:$B$10,1,FALSE)),A1,"")
Adjust for row counts and fill down against column A.
I think you're looking for something like this:
=IF(ISERROR(MATCH(A1,B1,0)),A1,"")
Propegate that formula along your new column and it'll reprint the populated Column A when Column B is a no match.

(I believe I read the original question wrong, and am going on the assumption that column A and B are already sorted where the values will line up.)
