I have a question regarding the closest match when using index/match formula.
I use CONCAT to make a new field out of 3 cells. In the last cell I have a number, varying from 0 to 10.
So I get fields like ABCCBD3,ABCCBD5, ABCCBD7, ABCCBD10 etc.
I need to find closes matches for 5 and 10 in the end.
For example, if my INDEX/MATCH lookup finds ABCCBD6 (any number above 5 in the end) it should identify it as ABCCB10. If it finds from ABCCBD to ABCCBD5 it should identify it as ABCCBD5.
Because in my lookup I need to fill columns either "5" or "10". So any result from ABCCBD to ABCCBD5 will go to column named "5" while any result from ABCCBD6 to ABCCBD10 will go to "10" column. Is this something doable?
Here's an example:
For example:
Formula in G4, if one has O365:
=LET(X,FILTER($D4:$E9,CEILING($D4:$D9,5)=G3),INDEX(X,0,1)&INDEX(X,0,2))
Drag right.
With earlier versions of Excel, try:
=IFERROR(INDEX($D$1:$D$9,SMALL(IF(CEILING($D$4:$D$9,5)=G$3,ROW(D$4:D$9),""),ROW(A1)))&INDEX($E$1:$E$9,SMALL(IF(CEILING($D$4:$D$9,5)=G$3,ROW(D$4:D$9),""),ROW(A1))),"")
It's an CSE-entered formula. Drag right and down.

I am trying to create an output in excel based off the number of words in cells. Essentially i want to check if the sum of the words in 3 cells is = 1,2 or >=3. Im using the len formula which i have successfully used on single cell conditions but im struggling to create the formula that would check multiple cells.
Below is an example of my data:
Column A Column B Column C
Cat;dog Bird
Formula
=SUMIF(AND(LEN(TRIM(A4))-LEN(SUBSTITUTE(B4," ",""))+1, LEN(TRIM(C4))-LEN(SUBSTITUTE(C4," ",""))+1, >=3), "Titanium")
https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1W6nFr-W0r-XWZnvrFWndsvdBEEGHMQUa/edit?usp=sharing&ouid=103068518904190156690&rtpof=true&sd=true
First I made a single formula to work on a single cell. It ignores semicolons and commas to calculate total words. That formula is in column F and it's:
=IF(LEN(E5)=0;0;LEN(TRIM(SUBSTITUTE(SUBSTITUTE(E5;";";" ");",";" ")))-LEN(SUBSTITUTE(TRIM(SUBSTITUTE(SUBSTITUTE(E5;";";" ");",";" "));" ";""))+1
Notice I added an IF to make sure that blank cells will count as 0 words (because the +1 will be added wrongly and we need to avoid this.
Now you just need to sum up all results and we get 8 words.
What you want is to get this result with a single formula and that can be perfomed with array formulas. In cell F11 my formula is:
=SUM(IF(LEN(E5:E8)=0;0;LEN(TRIM(SUBSTITUTE(SUBSTITUTE(E5:E8;";";" ");",";" ")))-LEN(SUBSTITUTE(TRIM(SUBSTITUTE(SUBSTITUTE(E5:E8;";";" ");",";" "));" ";""))+1))
You need to introduce this formula pressing CTRL+ENTER+SHIFT or it won't work!
Now you got the result in a single formula and you just need to add your conditions mentioned in your post
UPDATE: In your Google Sheets, the correct formula would be:
=ArrayFormula(IF(SUM(IF(LEN(TRIM(A3:B3))=0,0,LEN(TRIM(A3:C3))-LEN(SUBSTITUTE(A3:C3," ",""))+1))>=3,"Good","Bad"))
Please, notice Excel is not the same as Google Sheets so sometimes the formulas may be different in one of them.
I want to get the count of cells used in an excel function.
For example say I have a sum function ='CV'!D11+Farmer!D11+'County'!D11+Rt!D11+WT!D11+'Country'!D11
I need a function that will tell me how many cells were used to get the total sum. In this case it is 6. The tricky part is if one of the cells used is blank I do not want it counted. For instance say cell D11 on the Farmer sheet is blank I do not want it counted in the total. So the total should be 5.
Use COUNT:
=COUNT('CV'!D11,Farmer!D11,'County'!D11,Rt!D11,WT!D11,'Country'!D11)
It will only count the cell if it has a number
You should really try to collate all your data in to a single sheet before running calculations. For the sake of example, I'll assume you have it in the range A1:A5, then you can add handling of the various cases using array formulas:
Get the count of non-empty cells (the ISBLANK function is untrustworthy in my experience): {SUM(IF(LEN(A1:A5)>0,1,0))}
Get the sum of those cells: SUM(A1:A5)
(must use Ctrl+Shift+Enter to enter the formula as an array formula, you will know it worked if the formula shows like {IF(...)} with the curly brackets)
Because blank/missing values are treated implicitly as 0 in the SUM function, this case is simple. If you have other validations then you'd have to write an array formula for the summation as well. For example, only including numbers between a min and max threshold (e.g. if you want to exclude outliers):
{SUM(IF(AND(A1:A5 >= yourMinValue, A1:A5 < yourMaxValue), A1:A5, 0)}.
If I understand your question correctly, you want to literately count the number of cells used in a formula which in your example is summing 6 values from 6 different locations.
I used the following example to demonstrate my solution:
The sum of =A1+B1+C1+D1+E1+F1 is 10 where cell C1 has a 0 value in it but cell E1 is blank.
Using the following array formula I was able to count the number of cells that have a value other than 0:
=SUMPRODUCT(IFERROR(ABS(N(INDIRECT(TRIM(MID(SUBSTITUTE(RIGHT(FORMULATEXT(A3),LEN(FORMULATEXT(A3))-1),"+",REPT(" ",100)),100*ROW(INDIRECT("1:"&LEN(FORMULATEXT(A3))))-99,100)))))>0,0)*1)
Please note you MUST press Ctrl+Shift+Enter upon finishing the formula in the formula bar otherwise they will not function correctly.
The logic is to use a combination of TRIM+MID+SUBSTITUTE+RIGHT+FORMULATEXT+REPT+ROW+INDIRECT to extract the cell addresses from the original formula, then use INDIRECT to convert the cell address into the values stored in those cells, then use a combination of IFERROR+ABS+N to find out if any of these values are not 0, and lastly use SUMPRODUCT to add up all the TRUE results.
It is obvious that there are a couple limitations of my solution:
If your actual formula is not strictly in the form of A+B+C+D+E+F, then my SUBSTITUTE part of formula will need further modification;
The formula will treat cells containing 0 as blank and does not include them in the count.
Let me know if you have any questions. Cheers :)
The question is slightly confusing, so I will do my best to elaborate. I have a series of cells in a row with all of the cells in the row with a value of 0 and one cell having a value of 1. I want to use the COUNT function to count all of the cells to the right of the cell that contains the value of 1, including that cell. I would then use this number of counted cells in another equation. Does anyone have any suggestions on how to do this? I have tried using a lookup function inside of the count function, but it has not worked. This is my closest guess:
=COUNT(Lookup(1,A1:J1):J1)
This results in an error. Do I need to use VBA to make this work or should I be able to write an equation? I appreciate the help, or if there are any other strategies that I can use to attain the result I am looking for.
Edit: I am adding in some sample data and expected results. I am trying to count all of the cells to the right of the "1" including the cell containing the "1". So in this example, I would expect the formula to return "13" as there are 12 cells to the right of the "1"
You can use OFFSET() and MATCH():
That last "50" is a bit of a guess since I'm not sure how far to the right you want to count...
...and re-reading your question it's not clear if you only want to count values of 1 or if you also need to count other values as long as they're to the right of the first 1.
With data in A1 through J1, consider:
=10-MATCH(1,A1:J1,0)+1
In this case. 4 is the number of cells from G1 through J1, inclusive.
Assuming your range of 0 and 1 values is in row 2, starting from column B, use this formula in B3 and copy it across for as far as you need:
=IFERROR(COUNT($B2:B2)+1-MATCH(1,$B2:B2,0),0)
You could also use a formula of
=IF(A3>0,1+A3,IF(B2=1,1,0))
but that could cause issues if you have something in cell A3 itself.
You can use this formula:
=COUNTA(INDEX($A$1:$J$1,1,MATCH(1,$A$1:$J$1,0)):INDEX($A$1:$J$1,1,10))
The benefit to use this is it is not a volatile function, and it will also work for 1 appears in the last column.
You can use "COUNTIF" formula to count number of occurrences of specific number in a range of cells.
To count no of occurrences in a row.
=COUNTIF(1:1,1)
If it is in a column then
=COUNTIF(A:A,1)
Hope you are looking for a countif function.
COUNTIF(A1:A10, 1)
The above function counts the cell that has value 1 within the range A1:A10
I have a spreadsheet that has columns for dates and the values can be either "1v, .5v, 1p, .5p, 1s, .5s"
I have 3 columns in each row one for each letter "v, p and s". I want to be able to add the total of all cells in the range grouped by letter and then display the sum for each letter in it's respective column (v, p or c).
Here is an example of the sheet:
Name Vacation Personal Sick 1/5/15 1/6/15 1/7/15 1/8/15
Billy 1.5 1 0 .5v 1v 1p
It is the formula that goes in the vacation/personal/sick cell that I just can't figure out.
I went down the array formula route and came up with essentially the same formula as #Sancho.s :-
=SUM(LEFT($E2:$H2,LEN($E2:$H2)-1)*(RIGHT($E2:$H2)="v"))
You could modify it to take account of blanks:-
=SUM(IF($E2:$H2<>"",LEFT($E2:$H2,LEN($E2:$H2)-1)*(RIGHT($E2:$H2)="v")))
Perhaps this would be better, to ignore any mis-formatted cells:-
=SUM(IFERROR(LEFT($E2:$H2,LEN($E2:$H2)-1)*(RIGHT($E2:$H2)="v"),0))
These all have to be put in with Ctrl-Shift-Enter.
Assuming the range you posted starts at A1, use
=SUMPRODUCT((RIGHT($E2:$G2,1)="v")*LEFT($E2:$G2,LEN($E2:$G2)-1))
in B2. Change "v" and the range to use suitably.
Pro:
It is not an array formula. See why this may be important
Con:
I could not make it work with blank cells.
This "array entered" version will also allow blanks
=SUM(IF(RIGHT(E2:G2)="v",SUBSTITUTE(E2:G2,"v","")+0))
confirmed with CTRL+SHIFT+ENTER
Here are my 2 columns
A B
Spain [EMPTY]
France Euros
Spain Euros
In another cell, I would like to write a formula that would write the currency of each country. like if I have:
C1=Spain, C2=France,
I would want to have
D1=Euros, D2=Euros.
I tried it with VLOOKUP, but it gave me
C1=[Empty], C2=Euros
Thank you very much for your time
As others have commented, VLOOKUP will return the first match it finds, thats why you get [EMPTY] for Spain.
You can work around this by adding an intermediate column. Lets assume you insert a column B with formula =IF(C1="","",A1) and copy down for all used rows.
Column D is Spain, France etc
Column E is now =VLOOKUP(D1,B:C,2,0)
IF you can SORT your columns, sort by Column A then by B descending (Z-A) then use the vlookup you're trying to use. THis will put the country with a value 1st so V-Lookup will return a vale instead of empty. When empty is returned, its becuase EVERY single instance of that entry in column A has an empty value. However if the entry in A has Multiple values, it will pick the first from descending order.
So do you have situations in which a entry in column A has multiple values beyond 1 currency and a blank entry?
However this has a pitfall in that the Order now matters so if data is added to this spreadsheet a reorder must occur each time.
I'm more a VBA than formula guy but this (horrible!) array formula will return the first non blank match
in D1 put
=IF(MAX(IF(--(A$1:A$6=C1)*LEN(B$1:B$6)>0,ROW(A$1:A$6),0))>0,INDEX(B$1:B$6,MAX(IF(--(A$1:A$6=C1)*LEN(B$1:B$6)>0,ROW(A$1:A$6),0))),"no match")
and press Shift - Ctrl - Enter together
how it works
IF(--(A$1:A$6=C1)*LEN(B$1:B$6)>0,ROW(A$1:A$6),0)) checks that A1 matches each of A1 to A6, and correspondingly whether B1 to B6 is non-empty.
If both these conditions are TRUE then the row number of these matches is placed in an array, if FALSE the formula returns zero. so the first array id {0,0,3,0,0,0}
If the MAX of this array is not zero then the formula returns this cell position from the B column using INDEX in INDEX(B$1:B$6,MAX(IF(--(A$1:A$6=C1)*LEN(B$1:B$6)>0,ROW(A$1:A$6),0)))
Else there is "no match"
I will shoot this to a formula genius called Barry Houdini to see how much he can shorten it
Enlarged sample (including a true blank result) below
I feel like a fraud here.....don't ask me any VBA questions!
I note that use of MAX actually means that your formula (and chris' amended version) actually gives the last non-blank match. You can also do that with a non-CSE LOOKUP formula, i.e.
=LOOKUP(2,1/(B$2:B$6<>"")/(A$2:A$6=C1),B$2:B$6)
which will return #N/A if there's no match
for the text "no match" instead then, assuming formula returns text values you can use 2003 compatible
=LOOKUP("zzz",IF({1,0},"No match",LOOKUP(2,1/(B$2:B$6<>"")/(A$2:A$6=C1),B$2:B$6)))
For first non-blank match you can use INDEX/MATCH in a similar way, i.e.
=INDEX(B$2:B$6,MATCH(1,(B$2:B$6<>"")*(A$2:A$6=C1),0))
