I am creating an excel file to swap excel columns which contains the number corresponding to the ASCII character such as low letter, upper letter, number, special characters.
Here is the original table and the corresponding letter to the number
A B C D E F G H
1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8
I want to swap each of the cell to the end. Meaning I need to swap 1 to 8. 2 to 7. 3 to 6.
A B C D E F G H
8 7 6 5 4 3 2 1
I would want to use the excel function to do this. Is there a way to achieve this? I have 156 columns.
what about this method.
A 1
B 2
C 3
D 4
E 5
F 6
G 7
H 8
If your data is always ordered then sorting would work.
But let's assume your data is not always alphabetically or numerically sortable, you can use a formula to reverse an unsorted list:
-
A
B
C
D
E
F
G
H
1
A
B
C
D
E
F
G
H
2
1
2
3
4
5
6
7
8
3
8
7
6
5
4
3
2
1
Rows 1 and 2 are your original data. Row 3 is the reversing formula.
Add the formula below into cell A3
=INDEX($A$2:$G$2, COLUMNS(A2:$G$2))
Note (important) that the first Range of the INDEX is absolute $A$2:$G$2, but the only the last value of the columns range is absolute A2:$G$2 (no dollars)
Either drag cell A3 across to H3 or copy cell A3 and paste over B3:H3
This has an advantage over plain sorting in that it can reverse unsorted lists for you.

Below is a sample of the data I have. I want to match the data in Column A and B. If column B is not matching column A, I want to add a row and copy the data from Column A to B. For example, "4" is missing in column B, so I want to add a space and add "4" to column B so it will match column A. I have a large set of data, so I am trying to find a different way instead of checking for duplicate values in the two columns and manually adding one row at a time. Thanks!
A B C D
3 3 Y B
4 5 G B
5 6 B G
6 8 P G
7 9 Y P
8 11 G Y
9 12 B Y
10
11
12
11
12
I would move col B,C,D to a separate columns, say E,F,G, then using index matches against col A and col B identify which records are missing.
For col C: =IFERROR(INDEX(F:F,Match(A1,E:E,0)),"N/A")
For col D: =IFERROR(INDEX(G:G,Match(A1,E:E,0)),"N/A")
Following this you can filter for C="N/A" to identify cases where a B value is missing for an A value, and manually edit. Since you want A & B to be matching here col B is unnecessary, final result w/ removing col B and C->B, D->C:
A B C
3 Y B
4 N/A N/A
5 G B
6 B G
7 N/A N/A
Hope this helps!
I have two problems here.
The data is as follows:
Col X Col Y
A 10
A 12
A
A 32
B 11
B 31
B 9
C 8
C 7
C 3
D 1
D 3
D
D 9
I need to do the following:
Count the entries in Column Y using the Categories in Column X, for ex. A repeats 4 times in Column X but has 3 total corresponding numbers in column Y, i need the 3 count of the numbers in Column Y.
Calculate the median of those numbers using the category (excluding blanks whenever there are, not to be assumed as 0 by the code), for ex. Median for A is 12, Median for D will be 3.
Please help.
So 1 is:
=COUNTIFS(X:X,"A",Y:Y,"<>")
2 is:
=MEDIAN(IF(X:X="A",IF(NOT(ISBLANK(Y:Y)),Y:Y)))
Hold down ctrl + shift when you're using 2 as it's an array formula
In EXCEL sheet I have 1728 rows and 2 columns (L and O). I am doing addition of these 2 columns in column P. Further I want to count the occurrence in this column if addition is EQUAL to 2 or 4 or 6 or 8 BUT condition here is that The COUNT should be such that BOTH the columns L and O are EQUAL and Their addition is either 2 or 4 or 6 or 8.
This means that only the columns in L and O with values "1+1" , "2+2", "3+3", "4+4" should be counted. The addition of "1+3", "4+2" should not be counted.
=COUNTIF(P:P,4)
does not work.
L O P M
===========================
1 1 2 1 (NO OF 2'S)
2 2 4 1 (NO OF 4'S)
3 3 6 1 (NO OF 6'S)
1 3 4* NO TO BE COUNTED
4 4 8 1 (NO OF 8'S)
2 4 6* NOT TO BE COUNTED
4 2 6*
AS SEEN ABOVE RESULT OF COUNTING IS STORED IN M. Let me know the formula
=IF(L29=M29,SUMPRODUCT(--($L$29:$L$35=$M$29:$M$35)*(L29=$L$29:$L$35)),"Not Counted")
My data started in row 29 so you will need to adjust the references. It counts the entire table in 1 shot. So if you added a row to the bottom that had 1 and 1 and 2, the results in column M in your first row would become 2 and the same for the row you just added.
Will this formula help...?
=IF(AND(A1=B1,OR(SUM(A1,B1)=2,SUM(A1,B1)=4,SUM(A1,B1)=6,SUM(A1,B1)=8)),SUM(A1,B1),"NOT TO BE COUNTED")
Just drag the formula till you have data. You will need to adjust the references.
Here is the reference data.
I would like to get the first value (for a given key)from the vlookup that is not blank.
1 A 1 A
2 2 C
2 C => 3 B
3 B 4 W
4 W
4 X
Is it possible with vlookup or do I have to use INDEX, MATCH, CHOOSE etc?
If so can anyone provide an example? I cannot add extra columns.
Try this:
=IF(VLOOKUP($D1;$A$1:$B$6;2;FALSE)=0;VLOOKUP($D1;$A$1:$B$6;2;TRUE);VLOOKUP($D1;$A$1:$B$6;2;FALSE))
Use this formula, it looks for the first non blank:
=INDEX($B$1:$B$6,AGGREGATE(15,6,ROW($B$1:$B$6)/(($A$1:$A$6=D1)*($B$1:$B$6<>"")),1))
You should use a IF in an intermediate column, then use this intermediate in your VLOOKUP formula:
This gives, using an extra_tab if you can't insert columns in current sheet
Sheet1 extra_tab
A C D E A B
------------- ---------
1 A 1 A 1 A
2 2 C 0
2 C 3 B 2 C
3 B 4 W 3 B
4 W 4 W
4 Z 4 Z
To avoid blanks for further calculation Formula in extra_tab.A1 and extra_tab.B1 is:
A B
=Sheet1!B1 =IF(Sheet1!B1="";"";Sheet1!A1)
Formula in sheet1.D1 is:
==VLOOKUP(C1;extra_tab!A:B;2;FALSE)
Hope it helps
I am trying to create an excel formula using SUM and SUMIF but cannot find how to.
I have a first column(A) which is the total time of a piece of work and then for each row the time spent in that task during each day(columns B, C, ...).
For each day(columns B, C, ...), the formula would return the sum of only those values in column A that(for that specific column), relate to task that have been completed that day: the sum of all cells within a row is equals or more than the time the task was allocated.
Example for one 12-hours task:
A B C D E
12 4 6 2 0
Using the formula:
A B C D E
12 4 6 2 0
0 0 0 12 0
where 12 is displayed in column D because 4 + 6 + 2 = 12(Column A)
Second example(3 tasks):
A B C D E
10 9 0 1 0
21 8 8 5 0
5 0 0 3 2
Using the formula:
A B C D E
10 9 0 1 0
21 8 8 5 0
5 0 0 3 2
0 0 0 31 5
Where:
31(Day D) = 10(Task 1 is finished that day) + 21(Task 2 is finished that day too)
5(Day E) = Task 3 is finished that day
Tried this formula (for Day B):
SUMIF(B1:B3,">=A1:A3",A1:A3)
(Sum those values in column A if the cells in that row p to column B(in this case just B) are >= than those iterated).
Then for column C, it would be,
SUMIF(C1:C3 + B1:B3,">=A1:A3",A1:A3)
The above examples did not work(first returns zero, second is an invalid formula),
Any ideas?
Thank you.
Formula below given by user ServerS works fine:
Col B:
=IF(SUM(B2)=A2,A2,0)+IF(SUM(B3)=A3,A3,0)+IF(SUM(B4)=A4,A4,0)+IF(SUM(B5)=A5,A5,0)
Col C:
=IF(SUM(B2:C2)=A2,A2,0)+IF(SUM(B3:C3)=A3,A3,0)+IF(SUM(B4:C4)=A4,A4,0)+IF(SUM(B5:C5)=A5,A5,0)
Col D
=IF(SUM(B2:D2)=A2,A2,0)+IF(SUM(B3:D3)=A3,A3,0)+IF(SUM(B4:D4)=A4,A4,0)+IF(SUM(B5:D5)=A5,A5,0)
However there are two inconvenients:
if new rows are added it needs to be adapted and include another IF(). Would be better to have a generic SUM if IF's
Trying to propagate the formula to adjacent cells is not possible as it would change part of the formula like "=A2,A2,0" to "=A3,A3,0" which needs to keep the same.
Any other ideas that improve this, if possible, are appreciated.
You can avoid using IF with a sumproduct. This method allows use to insert any row you want. Make sure range are correct (eg A2:A5 with 5 the last row used). I would go for this :
in column B :
=SOMMEPROD(($A$2:$A$5)*($A$2:$A$5=(B2:B5)))
in column C :
=SUMPRODUCT(($A$2:$A$5)*($A$2:$A$5=(B2:B5+C2:C5)))-B6
in column D
=SUMPRODUCT(($A$2:$A$5)*($A$2:$A$5=(B2:B5+C2:C5+D2:D5)))-C6-B6
in column E
=SUMPRODUCT(($A$2:$A$5)*($A$2:$A$5=(B2:B5+C2:C5+D2:D5+E2:E5)))-D6-C6-B6
