I am trying to get values from other column, based on some logic, crossed logic, but I didn't get any result with the only thing I know: IF or VLOOKUP.
The table is in this way:
So basically there are groups divided by blank row, and in column D I want to add the value from column B, but according with other letter that the one from the row ( C is from Credit, D is from Debtor). So in first D5 I have C on the same row in A5, so I need to take value from D, which is 2, according to B6.
So sorry if this question is too easy or stupid, but I don't know much about excel formulas, other that the basic one.
I'd say the fastest way with formula takes two columns. The first one (let's say column C) will use this formula to define the blocks:
=IF(A5="",C4+1,IFERROR(C4+0,0))
It's meant for cell C5.
The second column will give back the actual result:
=SUMIFS(B:B,A:A,IF(A5="C","D",IF(A5="D","C","")),C:C,C5)
It's meant for cell D5.
Place them accordingly and drag them down to cover your list.
Then again: if you are looking just for the number and not for its sum (and therefore assuming all numbers are equal for each letter in each block), just use this one in cell D5 instead of the previous one:
=SUMIFS(B:B,A:A,IF(A5="C","D",IF(A5="D","C","")),C:C,C5)/COUNTIFS(A:A,IF(A5="C","D",IF(A5="D","C","")),C:C,C5)
Now if you were to use only IF and VLOOKUP functions, a possible solution could be this one:
A
B
C
D
E
F
G

I would like a cell to return the name in column A that has the Largest Number in Column B. And if there are similar numbers, go to the next column and determine which is highest, and if that is tied go to the next column and so on.
Any help would be appreciated.
We can de-conflict ties.In E1 enter:
=B1 + C1/(10*MAX(C:C))+D1/(100*MAX(D:D))
and copy down. Then in another cell enter:
=INDEX(A:A,MATCH(MAX(E:E),E:E,0))
EDIT#1
This is only good for 3 columns of numbers, but it is very easy to add additional de-confliction terms if necessary:
=B1 + C1/(10*MAX(C:C))+D1/(100*MAX(D:D))+E1/(1000*MAX(E:E))
For an expandable number of rows/columns, use a helper row with the same number of columns as number columns in your data. The formulas below reference the following image (the data are in A1:G7):
B9-->=MAX(B1:B7)
C9 (fill over the remaining columns to G9)-->
=MAX(IF(MMULT(--($B1:B7=$B9:B9),--(ROW(INDIRECT("1:"&COLUMNS($B9:B9)))>0))=COLUMNS($B9:B9),C1:C7))
The following formula will give the answer (shown in A9 above):
=INDEX(A1:A7,MATCH(TRUE,(MMULT(--($B1:G7=$B9:G9),--(ROW(INDIRECT("1:"&COLUMNS($B9:G9)))>0))=COLUMNS($B9:G9)),0))
UPDATE WITH ALTERNATIVE METHOD
Using a helper column instead, again referencing the image below (the data are in A1:G7):
I1 (fill down to I7)-->
=SUM(--(MMULT(SIGN(B1:G1-$B$1:$G$7)*2^(COLUMN(G1)-COLUMN(A1:F1)),--(ROW(INDIRECT("1:"&COLUMNS(B1:G1)))>0))>0))
The following formula will give the answer (shown in J1 above):
=INDEX(A1:A7,MATCH(MAX(I1:I7),I1:I7,))
As a bonus, notice that the helper column corresponds to the order that you would get from sorting the data by each column left-to-right. In other words, you could use the helper column to perform a formula-based multi-column sort on strictly numeric data. For the last image, entering the following array formula into a range with the same dimensions as A1:G7 gives a descending sort on columns B through G:
=IF(A1:A7=A1:A7,INDEX(A1:G7,MATCH(ROW(A7)-ROW(A1:A7),I1:I7,0),))
I'm a total Excel nub and can't find the answer I'm looking for. Must be easy peasy, but since I'm not into Excel I also don't know what to look for. Sorry if I'm having my question wrong.
I have output in Excel like this:
A 1
A 2
A 3
A 4
B 1
B 2
B 3
B 4
B 5
B 6
and I want it like this:
A 1 2 3 4
B 1 2 3 4 5 6
this question is quite complex in a way.
let me explain it more in detail:
as you see above, we have two columns A and B, you have text strings in column A , these text strings could be repeated. As you see in the example, there are 4 As, 5 Bs, 3 Cs 1 D and 3 Es. In column B each one of these strings have different corresponding values. For example, text strings B in column A has five corresponding values in column B, namely 11, 12, 13, 14, 15, and 16.
Now we want a list of UNIQUE values from column A, and lets say, we put this list in column C and then for each of these unique values in column C we want to list their corresponding cells in column B and put them HORIZONTALLY in front of each of these unique text strings in column C.
For this you need two kinds of formulas:
Formula 1 to calculate the list of the unique values in column A :
this goes in C2:(leave C1 empty)
=IFERROR(INDEX($A$1:$A$999;MATCH(0;FREQUENCY(IF(EXACT($A$1:$A$999;TRANSPOSE($C$1:C1));MATCH(ROW($A$1:$A$999);ROW($A$1:$A$999)); ""); MATCH(ROW($A$1:$A$999);ROW($A$1:$A$999))); 0)); "")
this is an array formula, so press ctrl+shift+enter to calculate the formula, and drag and fill down as many as you want in column C.
*Formula 2 to find and list horizontally the values from column B *
=IFERROR(INDEX($B$1:$B$999;SMALL(IF($C2=$A$1:$A$999;ROW($A$1:$A$999)-ROW($A$1)+1);COLUMN(A$1)));"")
this is an array formula, so press ctrl+shift+enter to calculate the formula, put this in D2 and drag and fill down until the last cell of column C. then select D2 to D6 and drag and fill horizontally. You should get all of the corresponding cells in front of each unique item.
P.S. adjust the formulas to meet your regional settings by replacing ; with , I suppose.
Finally here is the link to an example sheet downloadable from here .
This is very generic but hopefully will help.
Highlight the cells that you want to transpose to.
Type the equation..."=TRANSPOSE(B1:B4)" (edit as necessary).
While the cells are still highlighted, press "ctrl+shift+enter". (brackets should appear around the equation)
Finish editing the cells.

I'm not all that with excel and this is driving me nuts. I have a table with 3 columns A B C.
A has up to 150 names.
B has their chosen number from 0-9.
C has 5 random numbers entered from 0-9.
After the numbers have been entered in C, I need to find who in A has a match to the numbers in C and how many times.
I.E:
Bill 7
Mary 4
in C-- 2 7 5 4 4
Results need to show (could be on another sheet):
Bill 1
Mary 2
have spent hours googling, but either can't find help, or I'm too stupid to see it.
You can use COUNTIF to do that.
You can copy/paste to get the name list to the other sheet first.
Then, use:
=COUNTIF(Sheet1!C:C, VLOOKUP(A1, Sheet1!A:B, 2, 0)))
Or if you are able to copy both columns A and B into Sheet2,
=COUNTIF(Sheet1!C:C, B1)
Then copy/paste as values and last delete column B.
If it can be done on the same sheet, you can consider:
=COUNTIF($C$1:$C$5, B1)
I am trying to compare two columns in excel, A and B. Column A contains a complete list of customer numbers. Column B contains an incomplete list of the same customer numbers. So if a customer number is in A, but not in B then output that number to column C.
I'd use the MATCH function in combination with ISNA.
If I have the following table
A B C
1 4
2 3
3 1
4 7
5 2 5
6 6
7
I put in column 'A' the full customer list, and in column B is a random ordered partial list. I then put the function in C1 (and the rest of column C):
=IF(ISNA(MATCH(A1,B:B,0)),A1, "")
Now I see the values '5' and '6' only in column C, because those are the only two numbers that don't appear in column B.
In Cel C1 =IF(ISERROR(VLOOKUP(A1,$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.)
