I cannot find a way to do this, is it possible (with excel functions or VBS)?
For example, these would be the initial values:
Number
Value
101
234
102
324
103
345
104
325
105
437
106
443
107
806
108
476
109
538
110
546
And after taking the three highest numbers, this would be the output:
Number
Value
107
806
110
546
109
538
The data is constantly updating, so that might cause some issues.
You can use FILTER in combination with LARGE function to achieve this:
Columns A and B represent sample data. Cell D2 can contain this formula:
=FILTER($A$2:$B$9,$B$2:$B$9>=LARGE($B$2:$B$9,3))
If data is constantly updating, better to have an Excel Table (I named TB_NumVal), so the range index get automatically updated.
In cell: J2:
=SORT(FILTER(SORT(TB_NumVal,2), (ROW(TB_NumVal[Number])-1)
> ROWS(TB_NumVal[Number])-3),2,-1)
Here is the output:
Explanation
We sort the data, then since we start on row 2 (row 1 is the header) we substract 1. So
ROW(TB_NumVal[Number])-1
will provide the row number starting from one.
ROWS(TB_NumVal[Number])
is the total number of rows, in our case 10.
Using a filter condition like this:
(ROW(TB_NumVal[Number])-1) > ROWS(TB_NumVal[Number])-3)
ensures only the last three row will be selected, then finally sorted the filtered result by value in descending order to match the result of the screenshot of the question.

I have 2 massive columns filled with studentids
Column 1(SID) has 110,000 rows
Column 2(SID2) has 100,000 rows
How do I make a check of column 1 = column 2 or vice versa and then finally place it all in one field!
Current Results
SID SID2
45 45
142 142
237 218
238 441
410 410
440 442
452 237
452
Final Expected output
SID SID2 Check
45 45
142 142
237 218
238 441 238,441
410 410
440 442 440
452 237
452
238,441,440
As you can see, all the ids that dont match should be placed in one field so I can easily spot them rathen than looking though 100,000 rows
Looks like SolarMike answered assuming that the test is A2=B2, but I think you're asking if A2=[Anything in Column B] and if B2=[Anything in Column A]. Here's how I'd test that:
Column C:
=IFERROR(IF(MATCH(A2,B:B,0)>1,"",A2),A2)
Column D:
=IFERROR(IF(MATCH(B2,A:A,0)>1,"",B2),B2)
Column E (very crude, but effective):
=IF(AND(C2="",D2=""),"",CONCATENATE(C2,",",D2,","))
Now, your real problem is getting it all into one single cell. The only way I know how to do this is to use Concatenate, but it requires you to select EACH CELL individually.
=CONCATENATE(E2,E3,E4,E5,E6,E7,E8,E9,E10)
For 10000 rows, that doesn't seem feasible. Also, that output isn't very flexible, but I digress.
If you want to concatenate everything together in one cell, you have two options.
A) Use the VBA code here (it's pretty simple, this seems like a viable option): Concatenate Excel Ranges with VBA
B) Hope that you have Office 365 with TEXTJOIN() See Support article here.
You could use match() with iferror() and if():
=IF(IFERROR(MATCH(A1,B1,)>0,0),"ok",A1)
see:
To get both fields back use:
=IF(IFERROR(MATCH(A1,B1,)>0,0),"ok",A1)&" , "&IF(IFERROR(MATCH(A1,B1,)>0,0),"ok",B1)
I am trying to count the number of values within a cell, in Excel. So far I have found plenty of ways to count the number of characters, regardless of whether they're a space, number, or letter. However, I would like to count the number of values in a list or a cell, like so:
Let's say in cell A1 I have the following sequence of values:
38 39 101 102 114 115 116 117 118 119 120 121 122 123 124 125
I would like for the cell to return 16, indicating that there are sixteen values in the cell.
Is there an easy way to do this with Excel?
If you have a known delimiter (what breaks up the values) and you don't have to test your data for whether it's a value or non-value then...
=LEN(A1)-LEN(SUBSTITUTE(A1,"[Your delimiter here]",""))+1

I'm trying to find a formula or a macro anything that will result in the column on the far right (101, 102, 103, etc). My current formula take Col 1 and Col 3 and combines them. The challenge is that when Col 1 is the same but the 2nd column switches I need to keep counting up.
I have tried finds, index(match,match), search, max above. I can't find the right combinations of (Excel functions, haven't tried a macro yet since I'm not quite sure how to get what I want) function to make this work please help. If extra columns are needed that's find I just can't change the first four columns.
With the following data layout:
You can use following formula in E2and drag down:
=100*A2+IF(A2<>A1,1,MOD(E1,100)+(C2<>C1))
If you don't have column headers, use your formula in E1.
Put your data in columns A, B, C, D.
Put number "101" in cell E1.
Put this formula in cell E2: =IF(AND(A2=A1;C2<>C1);E1+1;E1) and drag it down.
Hi I need to round up the numbers (last 2 digits, no decimal) based on following conditions:
If from 0 to 64 should be 49
If from 65 – 89 set at 79
If from 90 – 129 set at 99
If from 130 – 164 set at 149
If from 165 – 189 set at 179
If from 190 – 229 set at 199
and so on until 989
Then:
If value is from 989 – 1099 set at 999
If value is from from 1100 – 1249 set at 1199
If value is from from 1250 – 1349 set at 1299
If value is from from 1350 – 1449 set at 1399
and so on until 5000
I would appreciate some info and help how to get a formula to work for this.
Thanks

This is not really a rounding problem but more a conversion problem. because there seems to be no pattern to your number groups I don't think it is therefore something you can calculate and therefore you will have to do a lookup.
If you want to do it all in one formula you could use and array inside of a vlookup like the partial example below:
=VLOOKUP(C1,{0,49;65,79;90,99;130,149;165,179},2,TRUE)
Otherwise do it as a normal vlookup. All you need is a two column table table, the first column contains the lower bound of you ranges and the second column contains the value that you want it to be. The important thing is that the vlookup has the final parameter of true, this makes the vlookup find the nearest match.
I have a set of data with over 1000 entries.
I can filter these using the auto filter.
At the bottom, I then have some simple formulas, for example AVERAGE() and QUARTILE().
What I would like to achieve is that when I filter the data, the results from AVERAGE should change, so they should only take into account the visible data.
I've been searching google and here, but can't seem to find anything like this, other than using "subtotal", but that's not for the formulas I want to use.
Is this possible?
Thanks,
Use SUBTOTAL
Function_num Function_num Function
(incl hidden) (ignores hidden)
1 101 AVERAGE
2 102 COUNT
3 103 COUNTA
4 104 MAX
5 105 MIN
6 106 PRODUCT
7 107 STDEV
8 108 STDEVP
9 109 SUM
10 110 VAR
11 111 VARP
So you could use :
=SUBTOTAL(101, yourRange)
I think you should use a pivot table.
