i have 2 columns like this
i use function =MATCH(A1;C:C;0) then sort from smallest to largest and result is this
exactly what i want. problem is when i add one value that doesn't exist in one of 2 columns
example (new value marked yellow)
and i got this
i would like to group it firstly by repeated columns then rest. how i can do this? :)

So I'm going to eventually have 3 sheets. Sheet 1 is where I have data (numbers for a category and a name associated with it. Sheet 2 is where I pull the top 5 users for each category. Sheet 3 is where I have a leaderboard for points gained.
Right now I'm trying to work with Sheet 2 (grab the top 5 performers from each category. I'm fairly new to Excel, but after some research it seemed that XLOOKUP would be the way to go. (i'll attach screenshots below.
I'm using this formula:
=XLOOKUP(LARGE('Cases Test for Categories'!$C$18:$C$55,1),'Cases Test for Categories'!$C$18:$C$55,'Cases Test for Categories'!$A$18:$A$55)
however when using it I get all 0's.
Here's a screenshot of values I'm trying to grab from "Warranty Service Request"
and here is a screenshot when applying my formula
The solution I would want is to grab the 5 largest numbers from sheet 1 with the person name as well.
I don't think that XLOOKUP can get you anywhere near what you want but the formula below will get you one step closer.
=INDEX(List,MATCH(LARGE(INDEX(List, ,2),1),INDEX(List,,2),0),1)
In fact, it's the explanation of that formula which will be of help. Here we go.
List is a named range, perhaps equal to your 'Cases Test for Categories'!$C$18:$C$55. The reason for using a name is obvious. It's shorter. In my test List = A2:B6, in case you want to reconstruct it. Column 1 has names, column 2 numbers.
The term INDEX(List,,2) specifies the second column of List. You can replace the '2' with a formula to specify different columns of the named range.
In fact, INDEX(List,,1) does specify the first column and INDEX(List,4,1) specifies the 4th cell in that column, and that is exactly what you see in my formula. All of MATCH(LARGE(INDEX(List, ,2),1),INDEX(List,,2),0) just serves to find the row number in List, in this example the number 4.
Of course, LARGE(INDEX(List, ,2),1) returns the largest number in column2 of List. The '1' can be replaced by a formula, for example ROW()-1 which would return 1 if placed in row 2 and count up from there as it's copied down. Try =ROW()-1 in any cell in row 2 and copy the formula down.
MATCH([LARGEST],INDEX(List,,2),0) returns the row number where the largest was found, and that is the number we need to return the name from the first column of List.
This will work perfectly for one column and can easily be modified to work for different columns. Your question doesn't specify how you would like to arrange the 5 results from each category but the formula can be modified a little to accommodate whatever you want. What it can not do is to deal with ties. MATCH(LARGE can only find the first of several identical results.
To break ties in this sort of operation is complicated and must be done ether by helper columns in the data table or using VBA. It's definitely the topic of another question. For now I hope that it's a problem you will not have to anticipate.
Hello looking to solve a problem in excel. Here is an example of my data: Please see attached file.
I am looking to just grab One barcode to one value(Yes/No) for example if I wanted to see how many Yes answers there are its skewed because you can have multiple Yes/No values per barcode. which would count as 2 instead of just one value. I hope this makes sense. I tried a pivot table and everything because we need to set the barcode to a count distinct but I am lost on how to create a formula or something that would work. I cannot Remove multiple values because each line contains data I need since this is just an example.
I think you're looking for countifs. =Countifs(a:a,1,b:b,"yes")
This will only count instances where the bar code is 1 and column b is yes
You can use COUNTA with UNIQUE and FILTER formulas nested. =COUNTA(UNIQUE(FILTER(A:A,B:B="yes")))
The filter formula tells Unique to only look at rows where column B = Yes. Unique then creates an array of just unique entries. While CountA will count how many entries are in the array.
I added some extra entries to the example so it showcases it better. I colored the first instance of each unique entry blue to highlight the instances the unique formula is pulling.
I have a column where I am going to add 3 specific strings ("zero","one","two").
These items will be sorted by default. I want a separated cell for the "zero" to search how many "zero" are there in the column and calculate the sum of them.
The problem is that every time when I use this document, the amount of "zero"-es will be different.
As far I understood your question is that you have a column with Multi names (Zero, One and Two) with a corresponding value cell and you want add the values of all the Zeros. Well as by this, the Sumif() function will help you good. See the picture at Following. see in the formula bar
and use Countif() to count the Zeros in the Column.
I have a sheet with 4 columns of data. The first two columns show the name of a stock, followed by a PipDigit. These two values are connected and must not be seperated. The other 2 columns are another set of stock names and accompanying PipDigits. I want to do several things:
First, compare the stock names in each column and arrange it in such a way that matching stock names are aligned. The columns have different lenghts.
Second, I want another column to display which matching stocks have different PipDigit values. For example if for an Ebay stock I have a PipDigit of 2 in the first set of columns, and a PipDigit of 4 in the second set of columns, I would like to see message saying "different" or something similar. I have included a screenshot of the file.
If anything is unclear please let me know
This is the file in question
I believe from your question you are looking for the corresponding record in columns E/F for the 'Symbol' in column A.
The easiest way to get this data would to perform a VLOOKUP on the first column, looking at the data in columns 3/4.
In cell C2 you want the following formula:
=VLOOKUP(A2,E:F,2,FALSE)
This will give you the corresponding pip-digit from column F.
Now in cell D2, enter the following formula:
=IF(B2=C2,True,False)
This will give you a column telling you whether the pip digits match.
Drag these two formulas down to replicate for each row of the table on the left.
I am having trouble figuring out how to write a function to return a value from a column. Let's say I have a big master list of excluded numbers with columns 1,2,3,4,5,6. In each column is a bunch of values, anywhere from 1-500, and each column can have repeat values or be missing values.
I'll regularly be getting large lists of values and their corresponding columns that I will need to verify are in or not in the master list.
If I get two columns of data, one of values and one of their corresponding columns to cross check in the master list, is there a function or group of functions that will do this?
Sort of like a VLOOKUP, but instead of starting at the left most column, it looks at the column that my list tells it to and then looks for the value my list has. I'm having trouble figuring it out with an INDEX/MATCH because the values can show up on different rows in each column since some columns have omitted numbers.
For the sake of an answer, a Comment from #tigeravatar:
=COUNTIF(INDEX(A:F,0,X),Y) where X is the column number and Y is the number you're looking for.
