I would like to extract a price value based on two other columns. In table 1, I am given the raw data where I want to draw from. In Table 2, I am given only the contract number, and I would like to find the type being "Mater" and have the price listed out for it.
I've tried to use this formula but I don't think I am calling the columns correctly.
=IF(AND(Table2!A1=Table1!$A$1:$A$6,Table1$C$1:$C$6="Mater"),Table1!$D$2:$D$6,"")
Is there a formula using index match, if(and), or another one that could work in this case?
Thank you!
Table 1.
Contract

Type
Cost
5321a
aaa
Labor

5321a
ab
Mater
57
5641a
aba
Mater
10
536451a
aae
Labor
75
2441a
aan

53421
aar
Mater
14
Table 2
Contract
Mater Cost
5321a

The following should work:
=SUMIFS(Sheet1!D2:D7,Sheet1!A2:A7,A2,Sheet1!C2:C7,"Mater")
(I'm assuming the first table in on Sheet1)

If I'm trying to find specific names in a list given from my pivot table such as -
Row Labels Revenues Order #
Panera 25 0
Pasta 15
Salad 10
Olive Garden 40 0
Sandwich 20
Pasta 20
Panda Express 30 0
Rice 15
Chicken 15
And I want to search through my document, find Olive Garden and Panda Express and I wanted to replace the 0 in the order # column with 10 for Olive Garden and 20 for Panda Express. Currently, someone here helped me out with
=IF(IFERROR(VLOOKUP(A9,worksheet!K:K,1,FALSE),"")="","",0)
which inserts 0's for the headers and blanks for the orders in the 'Order #' column, can I add a second formula that would find the names and replace the value in that column? Or adjust the current formula?
Quick note - order # column is not from the pivot table.
To make it more clear, - I am getting data from an external source (i.e. paper invoices), as opposed to making a manual entry to adjust the 0's in the order # column, I would like to tell VBA/Excel - "hey Olive Garden's order number is 10 and Panda Express's order number changed to 20, adjust".
this is my end goal -
Row Labels Revenues Order #
Panera 25 0
Pasta 15
Salad 10
Olive Garden 40 10
Sandwich 20
Pasta 20
Panda Express 30 20
Rice 15
Chicken 15
If you have a range with the restaurant names in one column and the order numbers in the next column (say columns X and Y of the sheet called "worksheet"), you could change your formula to be
=IF(IFERROR(MATCH(A9,worksheet!K:K,0),"")="","",IFERROR(VLOOKUP(A9,worksheet!X:Y,2,FALSE),0))
(P.S. Changed the original VLOOKUP to MATCH based on useful feedback from teylyn.)
FWIW, that formula would be better using MATCH, not VLookup, since it's returning the value from the first column.
But back on track: what are you trying to achieve? Change the values in a pivot table?
First, a formula cannot change values in another cell.
Second, a pivot table reports on existing data. You can't change the numbers that a pivot table reports.
You will need to re-think your approach. If you don't like the numbers the pivot table returns, you'll need to change the underlying source data.
My Excel sheet contains columns for id, date, amount and name.
If two or more rows have the same id and name I want to merge them into one row with the amount of those two combined. Can anybody help me doing this?
Use concatenation with Columns ID and NAME (=ID&NAME) in another column and look for the pivot table. Move to Insert->Pivot table option to get the attached answer]
Hope this clarifies
Here is a possible solution (as far as I understand the problem) using a PivotTable:
As you can see, there is not really much to it. Just insert a pivot table and drag the ID & Name to the Rows while you move the dates and the values to the Values section of the pivot table. The Values in the Column section will be automatically generated.
The only thing I changed at the end was to format the pivot table nicely doing the following:
Remove SubTotals by name
Using a PivotTable style that I like from the PivotTable menu in the section Design.
Show items in a tabular format. That means that the name and the ID are shown on one row and not in a cascading format (ID in one row and the name in a second row underneath + indented). You can achieve this by right-clicking on the name and selecting Field Settings. A new window opens (showing the settings). Go here to the Layout & Print tab and select Show item labels in a tabular form. You might have to repeat that for the field Name and the field ID (depending on which of the two fields you chose to show first in the Rows section of the PivotTable).
Let me know if this solved your problem or if you have any questions.
Note: since no sample data has been provided I made some up. I sure hope this data is somewhat similar to what you are trying to aggregate.
Used sample data:

I have data like this:
A: B: C:
1: 4-jan-16 117 85
2: 11-jan-16 58 11
3: 18-jan-16 101 98
...
and so on up to 2-jan-17.
I need to calculate the difference between b1-c1, b2-c1 for each month (c1=85=Jan, c2=111=Feb, c3=98=March).
Then I need to take the difference of every week and ^2
I have no clue on how to go about it, I have looked up many function just not sure which would do the trick. Please feel free to ask for additional details...
UPDATE
outcome should be (add a column D)
A: B: C: D:
1: 4-jan-16 117 85 =b1-c1
2: 11-jan-16 58 11 =b2-c1
3: 18-jan-16 101 98 =b3-c1
4: 25-jan-16 110 10 =b4-c1
5: 1-Feb-16 52 =b5-c2
For the column B, I used the following (have 2 sheets one called BE, the other sheet1)
=AVERAGEIFS('BE'!$H$157:$H$208,'BE'!$B$157:$B$208,">="&A7,'BE'!$B$157:$B$208,"<="&EOMONTH(Sheet1!A7,0))
Was wondering if I could use something like that to calculate the difference for every week in column D
In D1 use the following and copy down.
=B1-INDEX($C$1:$C$4,MONTH(A1))
C1:C4 is the range for you month results This method will only word for the 1 year and needs your data start in January as that is month 1. The formula above also assumes your data start in row 1. If you Data does not start in row 1 then you would want to modify the formula as follows:
=B5-INDEX($C$5:$C$16,MONTH(A5)+row(A5)-(row($A$5)-1))
'This example assumes your data stated in row 5 and you had 12 month of monthly data in column C.
I am looking for a formula that will return the earliest date from a column, based on the contents of values in other cells. (Actually I want a Min and Max date, but am assuming the Max will be identical to any Min solution )I know I can return the date I want just by using MIN and specifying the range of cells I want, but I ideally want the formula to be dynamic. I have looked around and believe I possibly need to use a combination of index and match, but cant find any examples that use Min and Max. I have considered using dynamic named ranges to define my task groups, but that would mean having to define a static number of task groups, and there could be many task groups.
The sheet below shos some sample date on the left of the workbook, with the summary data on the right. The "hidden worker column" was an idea I had that I though might make the solution easier. So I want the summary data on the right to use either column A, or column B if its easier, to display the min and max dates based on the section number in column F - Is this possible without VBA?
#mthierer's link is good. If you wanted to remove the need to add a "helper column", you could try (data in A1:C10; summary table in E1:G2):
{=MIN(IF(ROUNDDOWN($A$1:$A$10, 0)=$E1, $B$1:$B$10))} (or {=MAX(...)} with $C$1:$C$10)
Note that you have to enter the formula as an array formula with CtrlShiftEnter.
Data (A1:C10):
1 23 57
1.1 42 91
1.2 35 100
1.3 39 80
1.4 28 51
1.5 30 96
2 33 52
2.1 11 73
2.2 48 80
2.3 16 59
Summary Results (E1:G2):
1 23 100
2 11 80
I have two Excel spreadsheets. One contains average numerical grade for a student and the other a list of letter grades for numeric grades between a min and max
Spreadsheet 1
Student Avg Letter Grade
Mike 91
Joe 76
Mary 84
Sally 78
Spreadsheet 2
Min Max LetterGrade
90 100 A
81 89 B
71 80 C
61 70 D
0 60 F
How do I return the proper grade for each student in Tableau? It seems trivial but I can't figure out the calculation. Thank you for your help!!!
There is an easier way to do this by using Groups.
Import Spreadsheet 1 as a data source
Right Click on "Avg" and select Create Group
From there use Shift Click to group your ranges using Spreadsheet 2 as your reference, using labels "A, B, C"
On the top of the Create Group dialog box, make sure you rename your Field Name as "Letter Grade"
The weakness of this approach is that you have to check/redefine your groups if you are updating your data source. Using IF-ELSEIF statements may be more flexible as Inox suggested in the comments. But this is a relatively easy trick, without any programming involved. :-)
