Expected Output Image Expected Output Image1. I have a spreadsheet with a list of dates when student signed-up for lessons (Column A). Note: Sometimes multiple students sign up on the same day.
2. The sheet also contains the dates when the students attained certain Proficiency levels (Columns B through F).
3. I would like to know retroactively (on any given sign-up date) how many students I had at each of the various proficiency levels.
4. If they have not yet achieved a Level of Proficiency I do not wish to include them in my categorical proficiency level counting.
So, in my example/link above, my output for the Sign-up date of 11/7/1996, should be that I had: (1) Student at Level 6 (3) Students at Level 3 (2) Students at Level 4. Would anyone have some ideas how to achieve this?
What I have started is the following in Column "I" and then dragging down. However I am not getting accurate counts (the accurate counts in columns "I" through "M" in my attachment link). If I could achieve accurate counts w/my present formula, I could use a similar formula in columns J,K,L and M etc. =COUNTIFS($B$2:B8,"<="&A8,$C$2:C8,">"&A8)+(COUNTIFS($B$2:B8,"<="&A8,$C$2:C8,"<>")))

I spent hours trying to look for a solution and I feel like I got close but figured asking would be the best way.
Lets say I have a table with 2 columns, column A is an item, and column B is a price for the item. This table has 12 entries. What I would like to do is generate additional tables of 6 entries that do not exceed a certain price. see below for example. The number i want these table to not exceed is 50,000.
for example the first entry could be an apple at 9,000 value. the apple is column a, and value column b.
Can someone help with a way to generate all combinations of 6 items from column a, that do not exceed a combined price of 50,000 in column b?
With 12 items you have 212-1 or 4095 possible combinations of products. These can map into the 12 bits of a 12-bit binary number. It is not difficult to write a macro to calculate the total cost of each combination and then filter the result to display results less than or equal to 50,000.
EDIT#1:
Please see:

I have a group of players, 915 in total, each with different engagement scores that I am trying to break out into two evenly distributed groups based on their engagement scores. I tried using Solver in excel to set contstraints, indices etc, but unfortunately Solver can only handle 200 variables, and I have 915. Another approach I researched is to give the first group with the best player also the worst player, give the second group the second best player and the second worst player, and so on. Problem is I am not an excel wiz and need some help writing out this formula in excel so both columns A and B show "1's" for the agents that should be selected for both groups in the group A and group B columns in the below screenshot (the screenshot is a small sample of the entire data set, FYI),
Screenshot Here
As you mentioned combination of best and worst player.
Your data is already sorted on descending index. Say, the data is in A,B and C Columns. Just put A in D2 and B in D3.
Select D2 and D3 and once you get + cursor on the bottom right of the selection, double click.
Filter A for group A and B for group B.
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'm involved with a youth football tournament on the referee side, with assessing/coaching the referees. I've just taken over doing the data entry for the referees assessment scores which we then use to determine who gets finals etc and am looking to extract more usable information from the data to help us identify trends.
I've got (up to) 200 referees, each receiving from none to two assessment scores each day for 5 days. The scores are entered as both the raw mark and the weighted mark based on match difficulty (along with a host of other data about the match that isn't relevant to this issue.
I can extract the average mark (raw and weighted) across all referees without issues and have done so using the below formula, which is the raw average mark:
=AVERAGE(Working!AK4:AK200,Working!BK4:BK200,Working!CL4:CL200,Working!DL4:DL200,Working!EM4:EM200,Working!FM4:FM200,Working!GN4:GN200,Working!HN4:HN200,Working!IO4:IO200,Working!JO4:JO200)
But I also want to extract the average mark (raw and weighted) across two subsets - Academy and non academy referees, to help plot trends and determine where resources need to be utilised.
I've attempted to use an AVERAGEIF formula, but am getting a #VALUE! return. This is the formula that I've attempted to use to return the average raw mark for those referees in the academy:
=AVERAGEIF(Working!G4:G200,Working!G4:G200="Yes",(Working!AK4:AK200,Working!BK4:BK200,Working!CL4:CL200,Working!DL4:DL200,Working!EM4:EM200,Working!FM4:FM200,Working!GN4:GN200,Working!HN4:HN200,Working!IO4:IO200,Working!JO4:JO200))
If I do the same formula as above, but without the brackets around the [average_range], I get a 'you've used too many arguments, and it highlights BK200.
From what I've been able to find so far online, it seems that the formula I'm trying to use would only work if ALL the cells in (Working!G4:G200) returned "Yes". However if there are only 50 academy referees as indicated by "Yes" in G column, then I want those specific scores to be averaged, and the inverse for the non-academy referees.
I thought about having another sheet, which would simply contain populate from Column G (a simple =G4 and then populated down to =G200 next to all of the scores), consolidated into a block of raw marks columned under Assessment 1, 2, 3, 4.... and then the same for all of the weighted marks which would populate from the equivalent cell on the working sheet, but there's a lot of filtering, and re-sorting that goes on on the working sheet, and I'm not 100% certain that that wouldn't cause issues.
Any feedback on how to work through this problem, so that I can display the overall average mark for academy and non-academy referees in both raw and weighted form would be much appreciated, and I apologize if this post is rather convoluted.
I don't think there is a neat solution if the scores are in several columns which are not consecutive.
My suggestion is:-
(1) Work out the sum for each column separately and total them up
(2) Work out the count for each column separately and total them up
(3) Divide Sum by Count to get Average.
In my small example below with 3 referees and 3 columns:-
(1) In K2:-
=SUMIF(H2:H4,"Yes",B2:B4)+SUMIF(H2:H4,"Yes",D2:D4)+SUMIF(H2:H4,"Yes",F2:F4)
(2) In K3:-
=COUNTIFS(B2:B4,">=0",H2:H4,"Yes")+COUNTIFS(D2:D4,">=0",H2:H4,"Yes")+COUNTIFS(F2:F4,">=0",H2:H4,"Yes")
(3) In K4:
=K2/K3
This would include any zero scores (if this is possible) but exclude any blanks.
You can then scale it up to your data.
Beyond this, you would have to change the data structure either
(1) Add a row to label the columns that you want to average e.g.
Score 1 Score 2 Score 3
3 0 3
so you could pick up only the columns labelled 3 say
Here's how it would be in my small example:-
In K3:-
=SUM((B$2:F$2=3)*($H3:$H5="Yes")*B3:F5)
Which is an array formula and must be entered with Ctrl-Shift-Enter
In K4:-
=SUM((B$2:F$2=3)*($H3:$H5="Yes")*(B3:F5<>""))
another array formula
In K5:-
=K3/K4
This is how the columns you want are labelled with a 3 in row 2, so it ignores the other columns:-
(2) Consolidate them into another sheet as you suggest.
I run a small golf eclectic with excel. One of the things we have is a points system. I would like to get the 5 highest points scored over the season and have them ranked from 1 (being the highest points scored) to 5.
My knowledge of excel "sums" goes only a wee bit further than add and subtract.
Thanks!
If you don't want to change the order that they are presently in you can use the LARGE function. It returns the kth largest value.
Below is a great formula, if you drag it down it will automatically get the second, third and nth largest value from a table of data (in this example the data is between A1 to A10).
=LARGE(A1:A10,ROW(A1)-ROW($A$1)+1)
You can then match the values with names or corresponding data from the tables using the MATCH and INDEX functions. The example below would fetch the name for each value from the second column.
=INDEX($A$1:$B$10,MATCH(cell reference with score or value,$A$1:$B$10,2))
Play around with these formulas, they are very convenient for data m
If you have a column containing the scores, you could add a filter (Data->Filter I think) and sort descending.
Though, if you just have rows that are something like [Date][Person][Score] you'll need to go to another sheet and SUM the scores for each person then sort that... Unfortunately my Excel skills aren't up to par to pull a score for each person like that.
Given a list of numbers in A1 to A10, you can work out their 'Rank' relative to each other by using 'RANK'.
e.g.
RANK(A1,A1:A6,0)
RANK(cell, list of cells to check against, order)
For order, 0 = descending.
From there you can work out which one is first pragmatically.
If you have Excel 2007,
Check that your data is continuous, with no blank rows or columns. Click on your scores and then select 'Data - Filter'
Using the dropdown that the filter creates at the top of your scores column and select 'Number filters - Top ten'
A 'Top ten Autofilter' dialog will be displayed, reduce the show 10 to 5 and then click on OK.
For earlier versions of Excel add a RANK formula in a new column. Be careful as the scores need to be sorted, usually into descending order. If there are any ties, they will be given the same ranking number and the subsequent rank number will be incremented by the number of ties. (E.g. If there are two scores of 2, ranked as 5. The next score will be ranked as 7, not 6)
If you want to use the LARGE Function as described above, make sure you put the same range in the list for each of the LARGE functions. That is, change =LARGE(A1:A10,ROW(A1)-ROW($A$1)+1) to =LARGE(A$1:A$10,ROW(A1)-ROW($A$1)+1) or you will get some strange incorrect results
