I've column of values 1-10 missing 4 and 7 can I extract 1-3,5-6,7-10.
Currently I'm using this formula =IF(A3=A2+1,C2,C2+1) which gives me helper column sort of help
but my list is long If I could extract ranges that would be helpful.
There are no duplicates
I'm not sure if I understand exactly what you mean, but this is what I have done until now: I have copied the same columns A and B, and I have added following columns:
Column C : =COUNTIF(B$2:B$16,B2)
Column D : =IF(AND(C2=C3,C3<>C4),"End",IF(AND(C2<>C3,C3=C4),"Begin"))
The result looks as follows:
As you can see:
The number 1 from column B ends at row 6, and D6 indeed indicates "End".
The number 2 from B starts at row 7 (D7="Begin") and ends at row 8 (D8="End").
The numbers 3 and 4 are not correctly handled but:
As far as 5 is concerned: it starts at row 11 (D11="Begin") and ends at row 15 (D15="End").
There still is some finetuning to do but I guess you see how the ranges start being unfold.

Let's say i have the below list of Whole numbers in Column A. If you observe the list of numbers, you will see that number "5" and 6 is missing.
A
3
2
4
1
7
8
what I want to achieve is to place (sort) the numbers on the column such that each cell value will take its position according to excel row numbering. which means:
I should have something like this
1
2
3
4
7
If it's as simple as stated, this should work.
In column B, say:
=IF(COUNTIF(A:A,ROW())>0,ROW(),"")
Note: It does not account for duplicates, or anything complicated really.
Further Note: To clarify, all this does is check if the row that the formula is in, is in column A. If it is, then it returns the current row.
Not using VBA but just simple excel, can anyone help me find a solution to this problem? Would greatly appreciate it!

To give you a context of the number of rows. Sheet 1 will be bigger with more than 1000 rows. Sheet 2 (Mapping Table) is constant set of rows. Currently it is about 100 rows.
You can use a formula like shown below using LOOKUP(), SEARCH() with SUBSTITUTE()
• Formula used in cell B1
=IFERROR(SUBSTITUTE(A1,LOOKUP(9^9,SEARCH($D$1:$D$3,A1),$D$1:$D$3),
LOOKUP(9^9,SEARCH($D$1:$D$3,A1),$E$1:$E$3)),A1)
There you go. There may have other better solution. This is what I got.
All in column B.
=IFERROR(CONCAT(MID(A1,1,MATCH(1,(CODE(MID(A1,ROW($Z$1:$Z$255),1))<90)*(CODE(MID(A1,ROW($Z$1:$Z$255),1))>=65),FALSE)-1),INDIRECT(CONCAT("sheet2!b", MATCH(MID(A1, MATCH(1,(CODE(MID(A1,ROW($Z$1:$Z$255),1))<90)*(CODE(MID(A1,ROW($Z$1:$Z$255),1))>=65),FALSE), LEN(A1)), Sheet2!$A$1:Sheet2!$A$300, 0)))),A1)
Break down is as follow;
Let's start put things from Column C onward.
Column C, to find the index of the first capital letter from the text.
ref: http://dailydoseofexcel.com/archives/2007/02/21/find-position-of-first-capital-letter-in-a-string/
=MATCH(1,(CODE(MID(A1,ROW($Z$1:$Z$255),1))<90)*(CODE(MID(A1,ROW($Z$1:$Z$255),1))>=65),FALSE)
Column D, cut the name part by using upper case letter index from column C, sp_abc_Jabba_the -> Jabba_the
=MID(A1, C1, LEN(A1))
Column E, search row number from Sheet2 by matching Column D's name with Sheet 2's Column A, this will get matching row number from Sheet2.
=MATCH(D1, Sheet2!$A$1:Sheet2!$A$300, 0)
Column F, get Sheet2's Column B value by the row number from Column E.
=INDIRECT(CONCAT("sheet2!b", E1))
Column G,
Cut "sp_abc_" from "sp_abc_Rick"
Concat "sp_abc_" with Column F's "Morty".
If there is any error, use Column A value as default.
. <- this dot is intentional. please ignore.
=IFERROR(CONCAT(MID(A1,1,C1-1),F1),A1)
Try:
Formula in B1:
=BYROW(A1:A10,LAMBDA(a,LET(b,TEXTBEFORE(a&"|","_"&A12:A14&"|",-1),IFERROR(CONCAT(IF(b&"_"&A12:A14=a,b&"_"&B12:B14,"")),a))))
The concatenation with a "|" would assert we only replace values when at the exact end of the input. Just in case there would be a stray (for example) 'Rick' somewhere before the end.
Excel file columns:
A B C
2 two 3
5 five 8
3 three 10
8 eight 11
12 one 15
I want to create a new column Din same file like below:
A B C D
2 two 3 three
5 five 8 eight
3 three 10
8 eight 11
12 one 15
I want to map C and A and if there's a match D takes values of B.
Example: Value 3 in C is present in A, so D will take corresponding B value three.
Thanks!
So building on BigBen's additional suggestion of using an IFERROR, I believe you want something akin to this in Column D:
=IFERROR(VLOOKUP(C1, A:B, 2, FALSE), "")
... and then drag down the formula throughout Column D
Now, there are some assumptions being made here:
Your data does not have any header row, ala the data starts in Row 1, not Row 2
You want empty/blank values where there is no exact match (this is BigBen's IFERROR suggestion). Your current question layout seems to suggest this. Otherwise, you'll get #N/A in all those blank cells in Column D.
EDIT: To confirm, I used your data (though I started in Row 2), and here's how it looked after -
If one has DA-functionality you could use:
1) - Excluding empty cells using FILTER:
Formula in D1:
=FILTER(B1:B5,COUNTIF(C1:C5,A1:A5)>0)
2) - Including empty cells using XLOOKUP:
Formula in D1:
=XLOOKUP(C1:C5,A1:A5,B1:B5,"")
If one does not have access to DA-functionality you could use:
1) - Excluding empty cells using INDEX, MATCH and SMALL:
=IFERROR(INDEX(B$1:B$5,SMALL(IFNA(MATCH(C$1:C$5,A$1:A$5,0),""),ROW(A1))),"")
Note 1 - This needs to be array entered through CtrlShiftEnter
Note 2 - Alternatively, one could use a non-array entered approach including AGGREGATE as per #basic: =IFERROR(INDEX(B$1:B$5,AGGREGATE(15,6,MATCH(C$1:C$5,A$1:A$5,0),ROW(A1))),"")
2) - Including empty cells using VLOOKUP:
Please refer to the other answer given by #Gravity here.
Basically the difference between both approaches could be vizualised like:
I have two columns of data, they look something like this:
A B C D
1 2 SOME RECORD
2 6 SOME RECORD
3 10 SOME RECORD
4
5
6
7
8
9
10
So basically column A is a list of indices, where some of them appear in column C with corresponding records saved in column D. Column B is currently empty, and what I want to do is if say index 2 appears in both column A and column C (they matches), then put the record beside C2 in the cell B2. So essentially I want it to look like this:
A B C D
1 2 SOME RECORD
2 SOME RECORD 6 SOME RECORD
3 10 SOME RECORD
4
5
6 SOME RECORD
7
8
9
10 SOME RECORD
Can someone help please?!! Thanks!!!
UPDATE: I tried this and it doesn't work. The data in column D is calculated using a UDF and is refreshing every 1 second. The VLOOKUP function fails even though I can see the 2 indices are the same!! Is it because of the format of the cell or column? I.e. does vlookup compare data type as well?
Assuming your data in A starts from A1 - put in B1 the following and autofill:
=IFERROR(VLOOKUP($A1,$C:$D,2,0),"")
This includes handling of missing values.
You'll want this:
B1=VLOOKUP(A1, C:D, 2, FALSE)
This will look up the value in column A within the array spanning columns C and D. It will give you the value found in the second column (D). FALSE makes it an exact match, otherwise you might get 2 and 20 matching because hey, they're kind of similar...
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.)
