so basically add the SIZE and YEARS columns from SET 2 and merge on CLASS onto SET 1. In excel how you can do this? I need to match on CLASS

Define both sets as tables and “left join” in PowerQuery. There you can choose the columns of the resulting table.
https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/power-query/merge-queries-left-outer

If you have Set 1 on the top left of a worksheet "Set1" and Set 2 on the top left of a worksheet "Set2", then you can use the formula
=VLOOKUP(A2;'Set2'!$A$2:$C$4;2;FALSE), where $A$2:$C$4 is the range of Set2, and A2 is the class value from Set1, which is what is used to do the lookup in Set2. The next argument, 2, means to take the second row from Set2, and the FALSE at the end means that you only want exact matches on the CLASS. You can do auto-fill with this formula, and do similar steps for the years. If you look up the help for VLOOKUP within Excel, that should help you to understand how it works.

Your first set of data is essentially your primary set of data that you just want to add attribute columns to. I built this example on Google Sheets which should help explain. Using spill formulas, only a few cells are needed with their own formulas. You can see them as they are highlighted in yellow. When you use in Excel, obviously make sure you change the column references, but this would get you the answer.
Note you have to have SpillRange in Excel for this to work. To test, see if you have the formula =unique()

This solution may work for you if both sets start in the same column. As example in my image, both of them start at column A. You can get all data with a single VLOOKUP formula:
Formula in cell E2 is:
=VLOOKUP($A2;$A$22:$R$25;COLUMN($B22);FALSE)
Notice the mixed references at first and third argument and absolute references in the second one. Third argument is critical, because is the relational position between both sets, that's the reason it's easier if both sets start at same column. If not, you'll need to adjust this argument substracting or adding, depending on the case.
Anyways, with a single formula, you can get any number of columns. The only disavantage of this formula is that you need to manually drag to right until you got all the columns (10, 30 or whatever). You'll notice you are done because the formula will raise an error:
This error means you are trying to get a referenced outside of your column area.

Excel - Multiplier Effect / Loop

I have a situation that for every 6 contracts I sign I am able to sign an additional 1. That also means that for every additional 6 contracts I can sign another contract. This of course goes on for ever.
Contract Additional Additional(2) Total
6 1 0 7
12 2 0 14
18 3 0 21
24 4 0 28
30 5 0 35
36 6 1 43
...
Is there away of doing generating the total without using VBA?
Thanks
Your "Total" column is related to the "Contract" column by:
Total = INT(Contract+(Contract-6)/5)+1
So the formula to fill down would be =INT(A2+(A2-6)/5)+1 if your "Contract" column is column A.
Put this in the first cell and copy down:
=7*ROW($ZZ1)+INT((ROW($ZZ1))/6)

AGGREGAT with critiera and duplicates in array

I have the following Excel spreadsheet:
A B C D E
1 ProdID Price Unique ProdID 1. Biggest 2. Biggest
2 2606639 40 2606639 50 50
3 2606639 50 4633523 45 35
4 2606639 20 3911436 25 25
5 2606639 50
6 4633523 45
7 4633523 20
8 4633523 35
9 3911436 20
10 3911436 25
11 3911436 25
12 3911436 15
In Cells D2:E4 I want to show the 1. biggest and 2. biggest price of each ProdID in Column A. Therefore, I use the following formula:
D2 =AGGREGAT(14,6,$B$2:$B$12/($A$2:$A$12=$C2),1)
E2 =AGGREGAT(14,6,$B$2:$B$12/($A$2:$A$12=$C2),2)
This formula works as long as the prices are unique in Column B as you can see on the second ProdID (4633523).
However, once the price is not unique in Column B (for example 50 for ProdID 26026639 and 25 for ProdID 3911436) the functions in Cells D2:E4 does not show the right results.
Do you have an idea if you can solve this issue with the AGGREGAT-Formula and wihtout using an ARRAY-Formula?
you could check number of occurences of the first ProdID-price combinations and use that in the last argument of the AGGREGAT function. So instead of
=AGGREGAT(14,6,$B$2:$B$12/($A$2:$A$12=$C2),2)
you would have
=AGGREGAT(14,6,$B$2:$B$12/($A$2:$A$12=$C2),2+COUNTIFS(A:A,C2,B:B,D2)-1)
of course you can just put "1+COUNTIFS..." but I put it this way so it can be better understood that it uses position 2 + number of occurences of the combination of ProdID with biggest number after the first occurence.

Excel Rank Multiple Columns

I'm facing a issue with ranking in Excel particularly in regards to tie breaking. I tried several options but i guess they don't fit my issue. Its quite simple really, I'll explain:
The Data:
1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10
87 83 74 95 69 90 73 0 74 85
121 121 96 121 121 121 121 83 121 121
As you can see its easy for me to rank the first line (I'm working in columns instead of rows for the data). When i do a Rank Function gives the following result:
3 5 6 1 9 2 8 10 6 4
Which is correct.
The problem arises in the second line. There are ties because all of them reach the maximum of 121:
1 1 9 1 1 1 1 10 1 1
What i would like to do is take the first row as a tie breaker. So even if there is a tie the first line which was firstly text but now is a sequence from 1 to 10 could provide as secondary criteria to order the rank, thus giving the following ranking line:
1 2 9 3 4 5 6 10 7 9
Could one achieve this result?
Thank You very much in advance.
You need a helper row to break the tie. You can add a fraction of the first row to the second row to create a new row & use the new row to rank
A4 = A3+(A2/(MAX($A$2:$J$2)+1))
Using the MAX I ensure the fraction is less than 1 which is adequate to break ties in this case.
A6 = RANK(A4,$A$4:$J$4)
You can hide the helper row if you dont want to show it.

Paste subsequent values in excel with condition

I have data in an Excel sheet as:
Column A Column B
1 1
5 5
6 6
50 50
.. 51
.. 52
.. 53
1 1
5 2
6 6
50 50
.. 51
.. 52
.. 53
very long list
I want to fill Column B corresponding to Column A as shown above that if cell A is not blank then cell B will have same value as A ..and if Cell A has value 50, then next blank rows in column B will have subsequent values after 50 ..
I tried to make formula
=IF(A2="",IF(A2=50,50,VALUE(A1)+1),A2)
and pasted in Cell B2 and dragged but it is giving me wrong results:
5
6
50
51
1
1
..
Can anyone please suggest? Thanks in advance.
This assumes your data starts in row 2. Paste in B2 and fill down.
=IFERROR(IF(A2<>"",A2,IF(OR(AND(A2=50,A3=""),B1>=50),1+B1,"")),"")
This works on your use case, but it's all kinds of kludgy so might not extend well to other cases.
You can simply paste in B2
=IF(ISBLANK(A2),B1+1,A2)
and then copy the formula by dragging it down
Outcome:
A B
---------
1 1
5 5
6 6
50 50
51
52
53
1 1
5 5
6 6
50 50
51
52
53
Note: it won't work for B1. You have to have enter a value in this cell manually.

divide data in one column into more column in excel

i want to do this in Microsoft Excel 2007
This a one column. I have 20098 data in one column like below.
1
2
3
4
5
6
7
8
131
1
31
31
31
31
41
I want to rearrange those data like this how can i do it
1 4 7 1 31
2 5 8 31 31
3 6 131 31 41
If your data was in column A then in cell B1 put
=OFFSET($A1,3*(COLUMN()-COLUMN($B$1)),)
and copy down and right to split your data as desired
use this formula in all 3 rows and 6700 columns of the resulting range:
=INDEX($A:$A;(COLUMN()-first_column)*3 + ROW()-first_row+1)
where first_column is =column(..) and first_row is =row(..) of the cell where you want to have the 1st value
e.g. if you use B1:IWS3 range to list the results, the formula will be:
=INDEX($A:$A;(COLUMN()-2)*3 + ROW())
