I am trying to modify an already existing Excel file for a client. Here is the deal. They have the following Excel sheet with these columns (the picture is a simplified version of course to make it clear to you):1
If a student has completed their Bachelor they get a 1 in the Bachelor Done column, if not they get a 0. Now what they want is to check if at least one person per city has completed their Bachelor and display this in a new table with two columns (First column with the city name and second column with a Note of Yes or No).
For example let's take Lisbon. It has 2 students, George and Helen. In this case George has not completed his bachelor yet (0) but Helen has (1). In that case, Lisbon qualifies and should get a Note of YES in the new table.
Is there any way to implement this in Excel via an IF or a VLOOKUP function? I tried, but my Excel knowledge is quite limited. They also do not want to change the format of the file, as lots of people are already working with this and they are familiar with. Best case scenario could probably be the addition of extra columns.
My question is if there is a way to find for every city the highest Bachelor Done number and based on that to have a Yes or No output. The numbers for Bachelor will always be 1 or 0. So if a city has 1 and 0, 1 should be taken and display yes. If there is a city with 3 people and only zeros, No should be displayed.
If you need any clarification, please let me know.
First copy and paste all your distinct City names into a column, then remove duplicates (data... remove duplicates). In my case, I did that in column F. Then in column G, input a formula such as this:
=IF(MAXIFS(C:C,A:A,F2) = 1, "YES", "NO")

I have no programming experience, yet I am in a desperate need for a help. I am managing a large restaurant/catering company where i once a month have to make an inventory of more than 1.000 products. I have an excell sheets, that are devided into a categories, for example for the kitchen, there is Fruits And Vegetables, Dairy, Frozen, Fresh Meat etc.
It is really hard, to go around using a laptop and do the inventory of more than a 1.000 items manually, so i was thinking, since I actually have a barcode scanner, if there is a possibility to just go around, and scan the products, after scanning a products barcode, excell would take me to the row of the products that corresponds to the scanned barcode.
Right now, if i scan the barcode with a scanner while in excell, it will just add the scanned value to what ever field i am in currently. so the scanner works, all i need is to capture that scan, compare it to the all barcodes that are associated with products, so it could take me to the QTY field of that particular product.
For example, if i scan a Star Anis product with barcode 23135165, the excell should find that product, which is as per picture in field B6, and than take me to the field F6, which is where the quantity should be entered.
\So, in short, i scan a product that is in a dry storage, the excell finds a product within 6 different sheets via corresponding barcode, and takes me to the field where i can enter the quantity of that product :)
This would save me hours and hours of work :)
can this be done? Thank you :)
This is the picture of one of the sheets that i use when making and inventory.
I'm working on a charging matrix where project managers can input time to the top three contracts in each category based on a week to week basis. Right now I have a pivot table with the categories (Production, Spares, Development) with multiple contracts that were charged that week. I manually select the top three from each category and copy into a table where I have formulas creating charge numbers for the project managers to use.
The question is, is there a way I can automate selecting the top 3 contracts from each category based on number of hours for that specific week?
Pivot Table & Charging Matrix
You can use LARGE() to get the top 3 (large(data,1) etc)
Then use index() and match() to get the contract names.
I have made a simple example here, but it will not deal with duplicate results in the hours if they are in the top 3...
There are solutions to that already posted.
If I understand you correctly, you want to automate the process of finding the top 3 contracts under each category and then create the charge number based on the results.
You can do so by creating a new pivot table as demonstrated below, put the Category Name and Contract Name in the Rows field, and put the Hours in the Values field, then right click anywhere within the Row Labels column of the pivot table, go to Filter -> Top 10... -> enter 3 in the second field, then you should have the top three contracts for each category.
P.s. You can choose to sort the hours from largest to smallest, and choose NOT to show the subtotals for each category.
Once you have the list, you can enter your formula (I presume you used a formula) in corresponding cells in column H (as in my example) to create the desired charge number.
I have a pretty tall order here everyone,
I'm trying to make a rotating sanitation list for the remainder of the year for 3 teams.
I want the sheet to auto assign team members job areas (Rooms;columns B,C,D) based on the days of the week the work.
Members of Team 1 can only be assigned any Room Mon-Fri
Members of Team 4 can only be assigned any Room Sat-Tues and are the preferred team for Sundays
Members of Team 5 can only be assigned any Room Wed-Sat and are the preferred team for Saturdays
Each day in column A will have 3 (columns B-D) different employee ID's in each area(Room)
I want the sheet to keep everyone evenly spread out in terms of occurrences and for everyone to work all 3 sets of rooms.
As an added challenge, i would like to be able to add or subtract employee ID's to and from each team and have the sheet auto adjust.
I have a formula in column B that shows what I am trying to do, but it was from another person's work and I having trouble adapting it to my needs. Basically columns B,C,& D need the formulas.
This is the formula in Cell B3 and I just copied it down
=IF(OR(WEEKDAY($A2)=1,WEEKDAY($A2)=7),IFERROR(INDEX(Team1,MOD(MATCH(OFFSET(B2,IF(WEEKDAY($A2)=5,-5,-5),0),Team1,0),$U$2)+1),$G$2),IFERROR(INDEX(Team1,MOD(MATCH(OFFSET(B2,IF(WEEKDAY($A2)=2,-3,-1),0),Team1,0),$U$2)+1),$G$1))
The teams are set up in 3 separate columns using named ranges. I am not sure how to type the above formula to include all three teams and also get the formula to use Team 4 on only Saturday-Tuesday, Team 5 on only Wednesday-Saturday and Team 1 only on Monday-Friday.
I really wish I could upload this sheet for everyone to take a look at.
Thanks for any help I can get on this!
Answered from another forum and works perfect..no need for VBA
This proposal makes a few changes to the arrangement of the Team's
tables. This proposal also adds a helper column (E) which may be moved
and/or hidden for aesthetic purposes and is populated using:
=IF(WEEKDAY(A2,16)=1,IF(COUNTIFS(E$1:E1,4)<
COUNTIFS(E$1:E1,5),4,5),IF(WEEKDAY(A2,16)=2,IF(COUNTIFS(E$1:E1,5)<
COUNTIFS(E$1:E1,4),5,4),IF(WEEKDAY(A2,16)<=4,IF(COUNTIFS(E$1:E1,4)<
COUNTIFS(E$1:E1,1),4,1),IF(COUNTIFS(E$1:E1,5)<
COUNTIFS(E$1:E1,1),5,1))))
The room 4 column is populated using:
=INDEX(H$5:L$22,IF(MOD(COUNTIFS(E$2:E2,E2)+2*(COUNTIFS(E$2:E2,E2)-1),COUNTIFS(I$5:M$22,E2))=0,COUNTIFS(I$5:M$22,E2),MOD(COUNTIFS(E$2:E2,E2)+2*(COUNTIFS(E$2:E2,E2)-1),COUNTIFS(I$5:M$22,E2))),IF(E2=1,1,IF(E2=4,3,5)))
The room 5&6 column is populated using:
=INDEX(H$5:L$22,IF(MOD(COUNTIFS(E$2:E2,E2)+2*(COUNTIFS(E$2:E2,E2)-1),COUNTIFS(I$5:M$22,E2))=0,0,MOD(COUNTIFS(E$2:E2,E2)+2*(COUNTIFS(E$2:E2,E2)-1),COUNTIFS(I$5:M$22,E2)))+1,IF(E2=1,1,IF(E2=4,3,5)))
The room 7&8 column is populated using:
=INDEX(H$5:L$22,IF(MOD(COUNTIFS(E$2:E2,E2)+2*(COUNTIFS(E$2:E2,E2)-1),COUNTIFS(I$5:M$22,E2))=COUNTIFS(I$5:M$22,E2)-1,1,IF(MOD(COUNTIFS(E$2:E2,E2)+2*(COUNTIFS(E$2:E2,E2)-1),COUNTIFS(I$5:M$22,E2))=0,0,MOD(COUNTIFS(E$2:E2,E2)+2*(COUNTIFS(E$2:E2,E2)-1),COUNTIFS(I$5:M$22,E2)))+2),IF(E2=1,1,IF(E2=4,3,5)))
I am creating a sheet for my taxes. I have columns such as equipment, leases,payroll, etc and another two columns which are 'bank out' and 'credit out'. So say I buy $100 worth of equipment and payed $200 for a lease and used my credit card for this transaction I want the 'credit out' to sum these up so it would display $300. But another time I might buy $50 worth of equipment but use my bank card out so now I would want my 'bank out' to sum to $50. I am using to show this example to show that my purchases are not always the same because sometimes I use credit or sometimes I use my bank account. My idea is when I am entering in my information to type I type in anything into either bank out or credit out and then have an if statement which checks if the cell is empty and if it is leave it blank, but whichever one of them is not empty to have the sum. So either bank out or credit out will always have a value and one will not. I have tried many different statements such as
if(a2="","",sum(c2:s2))
where a2 is the credit out and c2-s2 are all the sums of my purchases but I get a circular reference warning and the same happens for my bank out when I type in a similar equation). The purpose of this is sometimes in one row I might make a purchase using 10 or more different categories and I just want the total to be correct and avoid human mistake.
Although this isn't what you asked for, the easiest solution to achieve what you're looking to do would be to insert in a new column called "Transaction Type".
Then, if Transaction Type = "Bank", have the bank column populate and if Transaction Type = "Credit" have the Credit column populate.
This can then easily be accomplished by both columns referencing that other cell and it's just a simple "If" statement from that point forth... Your way has the problem that each cell is referencing another cell that references back to itself, therefore causing a circular reference.
Hope this makes sense / does the trick for you....
