Vlookup using 2 columns to reference another
(2 answers)
Closed 6 months ago.
assume I have the following set of data :
ID CAT VAL
a a 4
b a 94
c b 5
d b 94
e c 2
f c 3
In Excel 2019 Pro get the maximum VAL of CAT=b using MAXIF(VAL,CAT=b) and I get 94. Now I want to get the ID of the corresponding value (i.e. ID=d), but I cannot use INDEX+MATCH since the maximum of CAT=a is also 94 and then I get ID=b which is not what I want.
How to get around that??
Thanks, many of them.
if you have Excel 365 you can use this formula:
=INDEX(SORT(FILTER(A2:C7,B2:B7="b"),3,-1),1,1)
It first filters all CAT = B rows.
Sorts them by column VAL Descending --> the highest VAL-row is at the top
Then returns via INDEX the first column of the first row.

I have dataset containing list of checks numbers.
Check
111
111
111
222
222
I am trying to have a new column in my dataset which would give me 1st, 2nd, ....nth instance for every check. The output would like something as below,
Check
Instance
111
1
111
2
111
3
222
1
222
2
To create a rolling count for a specific instance that appears in a range of cells, you can use the COUNTIF function with an expanding range.
=COUNTIF(A$2:A2,A2)
Given 2 named tables in Excel 2013 (or higher):
tblInvoice
ID InvRef Total
1 I/123 45
2 I/234 8
tblDeliveries
ID InvRef Amt
1 I/123 10
2 I/123 15
3 I/123 20
4 I/234 5
5 I/234 3
How can we get the tblInvoice[Total] to compute automatically using an Excel formula? i.e. in pseudocode:
tblDeliveries[Total] = SUM(tblDeliveries[Amt] WHERE MATCH InvRef)
I have tried this Excel formula in tblInvoice[InvTotal] but it is returning an incorrect value:
=SUMPRODUCT(SUMIF(tblDeliveries[InvRef],[InvRef],tblDeliveries[Amt]))
Also tried swapping the first and second parameters. Produces a different amount, but still incorrect:
=SUMPRODUCT(SUMIF([InvRef],tblDeliveries[InvRef],tblDeliveries[Amt]))
If relevant, it is assumed that there is a 1:N relationship from tblInvoice[InvRef]:tblDeliveries[InvRef] and that tblInvoice[InvRef] is UNIQUE.
The syntax is incorrect for what you require.
=SUMPRODUCT(SUMIF(tblDeliveries[InvRef],[#InvRef],tblDeliveries[Amt]))
The # is the crucial difference.

I have an excel worksheet with something like below. The desired output are as shown in column G and the last row, which concatenates all the values in columns/rows and gives the value of the resultant expression.
It's actually some kind of a puzzle where the aim is to replace some numbers with operators such that the values in G matches with a specified value. I am replicating the same in excel from a paper version.
A B C D E F G
3 3 33
4 1 + 2 43
4 0 + 5 6 4 604
7 3 2 / 1 2 61
3 7 2 7 3727
3 0 30
47 4033 304 0.4 2617 42
I have tried the following formula:
="="&A2&B2&C2&D2&E2&F2
However it gives the result in text format instead of 43, which I expected:
=41+2
Is there any way to give the final output as 43.
I developed (recorded and modified) a macro which simply copies the above result, paste it as values in Column H and then run 'text to columns' on the column H which gives me the desired output exactly as expected. However, I still can't figure out how to do the same with the row.
Is there any way to achieve the above with a formula only?
I want to avoid using macros as the undo functionality is lost but suggestions are welcome.
You could create a UDF that uses Application.Evaluate to evaluate the text string into a value. Then your formula would just need =Eval(A2&B2&C2&D2&E2&F2)
Function Eval(txt As String)
Eval = Application.Evaluate(txt)
End Function
I have an excel spreadsheet with a list of values, column A contains the grading, column B contains the number of occurrences:
A | B
---------------
Grading | Count
1 | 1
2 | 1
3 | 2
4 | 3
5 | 5
I would like to find the average grading based on the count but to do this I need to build a list based on these values, I.E. the above chart should translate into:
=AVERAGE(1,2,3,3,4,4,4,5,5,5,5,5).
I have managed to come to a solution through a very convoluted method of creating a new table, using IF and COUNTIF to print out an array and then AVERAGE the entire range but this is time consuming to repeat and I'm sure there is much simpler way of doing this.
If I'm not mistaken, you can just take the sum of product of columns A and B, then divide by the sum of the Count column:
=SUMPRODUCT(A2:A6, B2:B6) / SUM(B2:B6)
Note that using your hand written expanded formula yielded the same results:
=AVERAGE(1,2,3,3,4,4,4,5,5,5,5,5)
I have a table with first column as primary key. Ex:
id value1 value2
1 10 5
2 2 3
3 12 5
..
I also have a second list of id's I want to select, which can have repeated ids. Ex:
selectId
1
2
2
2
5
10
..
How can I "merge" the two tables (something like INNER JOIN) to obtain:
id value1 value2
1 10 5
2 2 3
2 2 3
2 2 3
5 99 99
10 22 22
..
I tried using 'Microsoft Query' from Data > Extern Data to join the two tables. The problem is that it seems it cannot handle tables with more than 256 columns.
Thanks
UPDATE:
Thanks, VLOOKUP works as intended.
However one problem is that if the row was found but that corresponding column was blank, this function returns 0 (where I expected it to return an empty cell), and since zero is a valid value, I have no way to differentiate between the two (blank and zero)?
Any help is appreciated..
If this is Excel -like the title says- just use vlookups.
Not very relational, but that's the Excel way.
Using the VLOOKUP function would get you the data in the layout you require.
If you are using Tables in Excel 2007, the formula would look like this based on the example below.
in cell B8
=VLOOKUP([selectId],Table1,2,FALSE)
in cell C8
=VLOOKUP([selectId],Table1,3,FALSE)

It is not clear where you store your data, but it looks like you have this problem, described on Microsoft site:
