How to dynamically tally result of formula in Excel? - excel

I have a sheet which keeps track of football matches and their scores. Is there a way to tally the results of a formula in the same cell the formula is in?
Column K shows total number of goals scored. I'd like column T to keep track of how many times there were more than 2.5 goals in a match. The formula to check if there are more is no problem, =IF(K2>2,1,0) Doing it this way simply gives 0 or 1 all the way down column T. What I am after is as the results are pasted into column K, that corresponding cell in T is tallied, either adding 1 or 0 to the previous cell. So instead of 1s and 0s all the way down, it is counting how many times it was >2. I want this to happen dynamically, so the tally updates as the results are input
Is this possible at all, either using conditional formatting or VBA?

You can use Countifs() function like-
=COUNTIF($A$2:$A2,">="&2.5)

How do I create a formula that will return a date where the sum of it and previous dates are greater than some requested number?

Example of Product Data and Inbounds
I have 20 products that I sell that each have some requested amount that people want to buy. I am struggling to figure out a formula by which I could have it return the week where the sum of it and previous weeks is greater than the amount requested, so I know on what week of inbounds the order can be fulfilled.
The example data only shows three columns of dates but in reality there could be up to 20 weeks of inbounds inventory, so it would be potentially a large series of sums before it finds the one greater than the amount requested. In the example image the cells highlighted in green are the correct week for each product that I manually marked.
Thanks for the help, I'm not sure where to even start on this.
Assuming that your table start in cell A1 (therefore the cell C2 value is 96), use this formula for your conditional formatting starting from cell C2:
=AND(SUM($C2:C2)>=$B2,SUM($B2:B2)-$B2<$B2)
Warning: the formula might stop working if the overall structure of the table is changed. For example: if columns with non-numeric data are inserted, the user will need to re-apply the conditional formatting. If said inserted columns will contain numeric value that are not meant to be sum in the formula, it won't suffice anymore.
I am afraid I don't have time to write a full answer but the below might help. I am sure there is a way to avoid writing multiple COUNTIFS with a SUMPRODUCT but I haven't got there yet.
=SUM(1,
COUNTIFS($B3,">"&$C3),
COUNTIFS($B3,">" & SUM($C3:$D3)),
COUNTIFS($B3,">" & SUM($C3:$E3))
)
This is a model built around your having 20 weeks so that you can have one formula which doesn't require continuous adjustment - it does require one column of helper cells for each week, though:
the helper cells start in column Y, where the formula in Y2 is
=SUM($C2:C2)
which is then copied to the right as far as column AR, and then copied down, one row for each of your products.
With all of the helper cells populated, the array formula in W2 is
=IFNA(INDEX($C$1:$V$1,MATCH(1,N((Y2:AR2-B2)>0),0)),"In the future")
which is then copied down, one row for each of your products.

Using a variable number of rows in a formula

I have the following formula:
=INDEX(TODAY!$D$2:TODAY!$D$306; MATCH(0; COUNTIF($A$2:$A2; TODAY!$D$2:TODAY!$D$306);0))
in the above example 306 is the number of ROWS in D column of the TODAY sheet that I get from the following formula:
=COUNTA(TODAY!D2:TODAY!D2000)
I can't figure out how to merge these two formulas together, so that in A column I get unique values for number of rows generated by second formula. Because if I copy the first formula along the A column it starts repeating from the beginning same values.
For example, what happens now is if I have 5 unique records in TODAY sheet but i copy the formula in 10 rows of A column it repeats those 5 records again. But I need to get only 5 records, others must remain blank.
Thank you!
One approach is to use OFFSET.
Here's a list of animals and we want to count horses and the list can grow but it's fixed on A2:A12.
To make it dynamic use OFFSET and your COUNTA formula e.g.
OFFSET(A2,0,0,COUNTA(A2:A40))
Which replaces the fixed A2:A12 range in the example.

VBA code required to loop through different sized rows of data and return MAX value

I am currently automating a dashboard creation and I've hit a bit of a roadblock. I need some code that will go through about 7000 rows of data and return the highest value in a certain column for each specific item. The data is copied from a pivot table and so is broken down into row sections, I have attached a mock of what it looks like.
I need the highest value in Column G for each portfolio, and will need to use the portfolio code (e.g. XY12345 - They are always 7 characters) to map that value to the dashboard.
My issue is, each portfolio has a different number of rows for the values, and some have blank cells between them, and therefore I am stumped. I was hoping to use Column J to count the number of rows for each portfolio (as there are no breaks for the portfolios in this column) and then use a loop to loop through each portfolios rows of values, based off the Column J count, and then return the highest row value for each portfolio. Problem is I'm new to VBA and have been teaching myself as I go, and I've yet to use a loop.
Many thanks,
Harry
If I understand correctly, you're looking for the largest value in Column G.
I'm not sure why you think you would need VBA for this.
Get the maximum value of a column
You mentioned that you're concerned about each column not having the same number of cells but that's irrelevant. as SUM ignores blank cells, so just "go long", or - find the maximum of the entire column.
To return the largest number in Column G you could use worksheet formula :
=MAX(G:G)
The only catch is that you can't place that formula anywhere column G or else it would create a circular cell reference (trying to infinitely add a number to itself). let's pit that formula in cell F1 for now (but anywhere besides column G would do fine).
Find the location of a value
Now that you know the largest value, you can determine where it is using a lookup function such as MATCH or VLOOKUP. Like with so many things in Excel, there are several ways to accomplish the same thing. I'll go with MATCH.
Replace the formula from above (in F1) with:
=MATCH(MAX(G:G),G:G,0)
This will return the row number of the first exact match of the maximum value of Column G.
As for the third part of question: returning the code like X12345 where the value exists, will be a little tricky since your data is not organized in a logical tabular style (tabular meaning, "like a table").
Your data is organized for humans to look at, not for machines to easily read and manipulate it. (See: Office Support: Guidelines for organizing and formatting data on a worksheet)
Basically, when organizing data in rows, all relevant information should be on the same row (not a subjective number of rows behind). Also, you have the number combined with other information.
My suggestion for a quick fix:
Right-click the heading of Column C and choose Insert to insert a blank column.
In C2 enter formula: =IF(B2="",C1,LEFT(B2,7))
Copy cell C2
Select cells in column C all the way to the "end" of your data, where ever that is (not the end of the worksheet). For example maybe you would select cells B2:B1000)
Paste the copied cell into all those cells.
Now, you can again modify the formula in F1:
=INDEX(C:C,MATCH(MAX(G:G),G:G,0))
This will return the value from Column C in the same row that the maximum value of Column G is located.
This is known as an INDEX/MATCH formula.
Hopefully this works for you in the interim until you can organize your data more logically. There's lots of related information and tutorials online.

Excel - Find all identical cells, sum separate cell in row for matches, output in other sheet

So, I've searched for an answer to this, but I can't find anything. Hopefully some Excel guru out there has an easy answer.
CONTEXT
I have a sheet that has two columns; a list of airport codes (Col A) and a list of fuel gallons (Col B). Column A has a bunch of duplicate entries, column B is always different. It's basically a giant list of fill-up events for aircraft over time at different airports. The airports can be the same, because it's one row per fill-up event.
PROBLEM
What I want to do is have a formula that takes the enter data set, finds all identical entries in Col A, sums the Col B values for the matches, and spits out the result on a separate sheet with one entry for every set/match.
OTHER STUFF
I do not have a reference list for Column A and I would rather not create one since there are thousands of entries. I would like to just write a formula that does all this at once, using the data itself as the reference.
All the answers I find are "create a reference list on a separate sheet", and it's driving me crazy!
Thanks in advance for any help!

Sounds that you need a formula version of remove duplicated for column A, and a simple sumif for column B.
Column A
=IFERROR(INDEX(Data!A$1:A$1000,SMALL(IF(
MATCH(Data!A$1:A$1000,Data!A$1:A$1000,0)=ROW(Data!A$1:A$1000),ROW(Data!A$1:A$1000)),ROW())),"")
Array Formula so please press Ctrl + Shift + Enter to complete it. After that you might see a {} outside the formula.
Column B
=SUMIF(Data!A$1:A$1000,A2,Data!B$1:B$1000)
Just change the range for your data.
Reminders: The formula in columnA should starts from Row#1, or you have to add some offset constant for adjustments.
Since the returning value of MATCH() represents the position of the key in the given array. If we wanted it to be equal to its row number, we have to add some constant if the array is not started from ROW#1. So the adjustment of data in Range(B3:B1000) is below.
=IFERROR(INDEX('Event Data'!B$3:B$1000,SMALL(IF(
MATCH('Event Data'!B$3:B$1000,
'Event Data'!B$3:B$1000,0)+2=ROW('Event Data'!B$3:B$1000),
ROW('Event Data'!B$3:B$1000)),ROW())-2),"")
Further more, the range should exactly the same as the data range. If you need it larger than the data range for future expandability, an IFERROR() should added into the formula.
=IFERROR(INDEX('Event Data'!B$3:B$1000,SMALL(IFERROR(IF(MATCH(
'Event Data'!B$3:B$1000,'Event Data'!B$3:B$1000,0)+2
=ROW('Event Data'!B$3:B$1000),
ROW('Event Data'!B$3:B$1000)),FALSE),ROW())-2),"")
Lastly, I truly recommended that you should use the Remove Duplicated built in excel since the array formula is about O(n^2) of time complexity and memory usage also. And every time you entered any data in even other cells, it will automatically re-calculate all formulas once the calculation option in your excel is automatic. This will pull down the performance.

Excel Formula or function that returns the Nth value from a dynamically generated grouping of cells

I am trying to assemble a index/match combination and am having trouble figuring out how to make it work. I have experience with a lot of the formula types in excel, but unfortunately I am pretty ignorant when it comes to these functions.
I will explain what I am trying to do first, but I have attached 3 images at the end that will probably make things more clear.
In order to identify the specific values I want, I am having to use helper cells. These helper cells are denoted with the (helper) tag in the pictures. These cells go through and grab the adjusted closing price of the stock (column A) at the beginning (column C) and the end (Column D) of a dynamically calculated period.
I would like to consolidate these values into numerical order in columns F and G. The thought is that the first non zero number in C/D is belongs to the first predefined period and should go into columns F/G beside the #1 (column E). This gets carried on through all of the periods (ex: 2nd non zero goes beside the number 2, third nonzero number goes beside the number 3 etc.)
This is just an example of one stock. I need the function or formula to be dynamic enough to work on a wide variety of distributions. Sometimes there are up to 100 dynamically calculated periods within the stock analysis.
Below are the images that should provide more clarity
Image 1 is an example of what the data looks like
Image 2 is a crudely drawn example of how I would like the data to move
Image 3 is the desired result
Image 1
Image 2
Image 3
Updated image for Scott Craner showing out of order results
Please let me know if I can clarify any confusion.
If you just need to return the first value of each period (column C) and the last value of each period (column D), you could use index match and lookup to do this without even using helper columns.
Try this in cell F2
=INDEX(A2:A50,MATCH(E2,B2:B50,0))
And this in cell G2
=LOOKUP(E2,B2:B50,A2:A50)
Depending on much variance is in your overall number of rows, you could use indirect references in the formulas to dynamically update the ranges.
Example:
=INDEX(A2:INDIRECT("A"&COUNTA(A:A)),MATCH(E2,B2:INDIRECT("B"&COUNTA(A:A)),0))
You will need to open macro. Then do the following in recorded macro.
+ Filter only non-null value in C/D
+ Select whole column in C/D then copy the whole column
+ Turn off Filter
+ Paste the whole C/D in F/G
+ Stop macro
Gook Luck
Put this formula if F2:
=INDEX(INDEX(C:C,MATCH($E2,$B:$B,0)):INDEX(C:C,MATCH($E2,$B:$B,0)+COUNTIF($B:$B,$E2)-1),MATCH(1E+99,INDEX(C:C,MATCH($E2,$B:$B,0)):INDEX(C:C,MATCH($E2,$B:$B,0)+COUNTIF($B:$B,$E2)-1)))
Copy over one column and down the list.
