I have two separate tables in an Excel worksheet, as illustrated below.
Columns A, B, E, F and G are my input values;
I want a formula that generates the values in Column C
(shown in italics):
A
B
C
D
E
F
G
1
Name
Value
Type
Type
Lower
Upper
2
Andy
35
Spam
Spam
35
39
3
Mark
85
Foo
Ham
25
27
4
Pat
28
N/A
Eggs
91
95
5
Deb
93
Eggs
Foo
82
86
6
Emily
92
Eggs
Bar
65
69
7
Greg
22
N/A
8
Gary
67
Bar
For each row in the first table (i.e., each person),
I want to find that person’s Type based on their Value (Column B)
by finding the row in the second table where the person’s Value
falls within the Lower→Upper range (Columns F and G).
So, for example, Mark (Row 3) has a Type of “Foo”
because his Value (85) falls between 82 and 86,
associated with “Foo” in Row 5 of the second table.
Note that Pat’s Value is 28 (Row 4), which does not match any range.
The ranges are inclusive.
For example, Andy’s Type is “Spam” (Row 2) even though his Value (35)
equals the Lower end of the range for “Spam” (Cell F2).
I know nested IFs are quite hard to debug in Excel,
so I’d like to avoid that if possible.
Modify your source table to show the lower limit for each grade and then use a VLOOKUP with a approximate match
Update to show how to include blank ranges
Filter Solution
If you don't have access to the FILTER function, one option is an INDEX/MATCH array formula, which will need confirmed with Ctrl+Shift+Enter.
=INDEX($F$2:$F$6,MATCH(1,($G$2:$G$6<=B2)*($H$2:$H$6>=B2),0),)
Another option is LOOKUP, which does not need Ctrl+Shift+Enter.
=LOOKUP(1,1/(($G$2:$G$6<=B2)*($H$2:$H$6>=B2)),$F$2:$F$6)

I am using excel and I have a table of numbers with 6 columns from A to F and more than 1000 rows. For example, from my table,
4 17 37 38 47 53
8 43 54 55 56 60
4 18 21 25 38 57
15 25 37 38 58 59
4 16 19 20 27 43
18 32 47 50 54 56
i want to find if there is at least a row (it must be a row!) that contains the numbers 16 19 20 27. From this example, there is a match, but i don't know how to make a search or formula using four diferent numbers.
I feel like I need to use the match function but can't quite figure it out and I'm not sure about it. Does anyone know how to do this?
Thanks!
This should work:
=IF(AND(OR(A1=16,B1=16,C1=16,D1=16,E1=16,F1=16),OR(A1=19,B1=19,C1=19,D1=19,E1=19,F1=19),OR(A1=20,B1=20,C1=20,D1=20,E1=20,F1=20),OR(A1=27,B1=27,C1=27,D1=27,E1=27,F1=27)),"Yes","No")
Put it in a new column in the table. It will return a Yes if the row contains all 4 values, and a No otherwise. You can then filter the new column of Yes/No to search for a row with Yes
I put the four values you are seeking in I1:L1 and the array of data to be searched in A1:F#. Then in column G create a helper column that concatenates A:F into a delimited string. The formula in G1 is:
=":"&A1&":"&B1&":"&C1&":"&D1&":"&E1&":"&F1&":"
where I've used ":" for the delimiter (you can use any char that's not in your data).
The result in G1 is:
:4:17:37:38:47:53:
Now in H1 use this formula to search:
=NOT(ISERR(FIND(":"&$I$1&":",G1)*FIND(":"&$J$1&":",G1)*FIND(":"&$K$1&":",G1)*FIND(":"&$L$1&":",G1)))
Each FIND will return an INT if the value (with leading and trailing delimiters) is found and #VALUE! otherwise. So the product will be an INT if all values are found and #VALUE! otherwise. Wrapping the FINDs inside an ISERR makes the result prettier (TRUE/FALSE instead of #VALUE!), and inverting with NOT returns TRUE when all 4 values are found and FALSE otherwise.
Hope that helps.
Here's another way --- more elegant (no helper column). As before, I put the four values you are seeking in I1:L1 and the array of data to be searched in A1:F#. Then in column G use this ARRAY formula (CTRL-SHIFT-ENTER):
=NOT(OR(PRODUCT(A1:F1-$I$1)<>0,PRODUCT(A1:F1-$J$1)<>0,PRODUCT(A1:F1-$K$1)<>0,PRODUCT(A1:F1-$L$1)<>0))
Each PRODUCT term checks for the existence of one value and returns 0 when the value is found and a non-zero value otherwise. The results of each of the four PRODUCT terms is tested with <>0 which will return TRUE if a value is not found. Then OR with return TRUE if one or more values are not found and FALSE if all are found. That result is wrapped in a NOT so that the function result is TRUE when all four values are found.

How to find middle value in excel given 35-39 lbs. I want the answer as 37(Middle number in range)?
For Example in Column A below:
A
----
35- 39 lbs
40- 45 lbs
The answer should be
A
----
37
43
And How to retain only the first value for above example
A
----
35
40
One is the "Average" =Average(35,39)=37 and the other is the "Min" =Min(40,43) =40. If you want the physical middle number in a group like '35,36,37,40,43' you can use "Median" =median(35,36,37,40,43) = 37
One option is as follows
Say Cell A1 = 35- 39 lbs
In B1, type = =MID(A1,1,2) to extract 35.
Then, in C1, type =MID(A1,5,2) to extact 39.
In D1 for instance, you can now average C1 and B1 with =AVERAGE(B1, C1).
I'm using Excel 2013 and I have had to create a If statement which basically chooses a student's grade depending on a certain mark number (obviously, nesting is needed) Here is the If statement I created:
=IF(E2<=20,"N",
IF(OR(E2>=21,E2<=25),4,
IF(OR(E2>=26,E2<=32),"5C",
IF(OR(E2>=33,E2<=38),"5B",
IF(OR(E2>=39, E2<=44), "5A",
IF(OR(E2>=45, E2<=53), "6C",
IF(OR(E2>=54, E2<=61), "6B",
IF(OR(E2>=62, E2<=71), "6A",
IF(OR(E2>=72, E2<=87), "7C",
IF(OR(E2>=88, E2<=103), "7B",
IF(OR(E2>=104, E2<=120), "7A")))))))))))
The error I receive is:
the specified formula cannot be entered because it uses more levels of nesting than allowed in the current file format
My question is, how do I shorten this statement to allow Excel to use it?
Place the logic in the spreadsheet cells. One column for the minimum score, and one column for the grade-:
A B
1 0 N
2 21 4
3 26 5C
4 33 5B
5 39 5A
6 45 6C
7 54 6B
8 72 7C
9 88 7B
10 104 7A
Then do a vlookup to get the grade from the actual score. vlookup will find the highest value in the A column that is less that the lookup value of 38.
In the example vlookup below 38 is the score, A1:B10 is the lookup table 2 is the 2nd column (in this case the B column) that contains the result (the grade).
=VLOOKUP(38, A1:B3, 2, TRUE)
You can also use the following formula.
=LOOKUP(E2;{0;21;26;33;39;45;54;62;72;88;104;121};{"N";4;"5C";"5B";"5A";"6C";"6B";"6A";"7C";"7B";"7C";"No match"})
There are a few different solutions. AND agreements using OR instead of the first that comes to mind.
=IF(E2<=20,"N",
IF(AND(E2>=21,E2<=25),4,
IF(AND(E2>=26,E2<=32),"5C", ...
The best way, in my opinion, is to write a UDF. Then you can use VBA and a CASE statement.
Experiment with this code in VBA to create a UDF named GRADE() - just type it into a MODULE in the VBE:
Function Grade(Marks)
Dim Score As Integer
Score = Marks * 1
Select Case Score
Case 1 To 20
Grade = "N"
Case 21 To 50
Grade = "C"
Case 51 To 90
Grade = "B"
Case 91 To 120
Grade = "A"
End Select
End Function
Then use the Function GRADE() as you would any other function but type the address of the argument - like this GRADE(B7) to use it
=+IF(O3="Negative","Negative",IF(P3="Negative","Negative",IF(Q3="Negative","Negative",IF(R3="Negative","Negative",IF(O3="Refer","Refer",IF(P3="Refer","Refer",IF(Q3="Refer","Refer",IF(R3="Refer","Refer","Positive"))))))))
I find the final status in 4 cells have positive,negative,refer,pending or blank
Ive written a function to calculate what MARK a student gets, based on a scoring table.
Why does my function work only for A mark?
This what the excel sheet looks like
COLUMN: A B C
Student SCORE MARK
1 adsf 90 A
2 asgfd 89 FALSE
3 A 90 100
4 B 81 89
5 C 71 80
6 D 61 70
7 E 56 60
8 Fx 0 55
This is the function:
{=IF(B1>=$B$3:$B$8,IF(B1<=$C$3:$C$8,$A$3:$A$8))}
I'm using {} brackets for array functions. (CTRL SHIFT ENTER)
Thank you
You're on the right track but your formula is returning an array not a single value. Wrapping the result in LOOKUP should give the desired result:
=LOOKUP("Z",IF(B1>=$B$3:$B$8,IF(B1<=$C$3:$C$8,$A$3:$A$8))
This returns the last matching grade since "Z" is larger than any other text value in the range.
A simpler method is:
=LOOKUP(-B1,-C$3:C$8,A$3:A$8)
The negative signs are needed so that the lookup values are in ascending order.
I have parent and child accounts that make a family. If the Parent_acct = Accnt_no then its parent. I need to find the maximum Term in the family and show as Family_term (this is to be calculated) for each account. What's the good way to do it? Sorry cannot post an image yet.
Parent_acct_no Account_no Type Term Family_term(max)
565 565 Parent 45 78
565 256 Child 78 78
331 331 Parent 23 87
331 754 Child 87 87
331 823 Child 19 87
You can use an array formula of max combined with if. Assume the columns are A (Parent_Account_No) through E (Family term max), the formula in column E should be (starting with E2):
{=max(if($A$2:$A$6=A2,$D$2:$D$6,FALSE))}
Make sure to press Ctrl+Shift+Enter when entering the formula to make it an array formula (see details here: http://www.cpearson.com/excel/ArrayFormulas.aspx)
Lets assume the following columns:
A B C D E
Parent_acct_no Account_no Type Term Family_term(max)
And you want to sum up Family_term grouped by each Type=Parent then you could use the following formula in Column F
(F2) =if(c2="Parent";sumif(A$2:A$500;B2;E$2:E$500);"")
If you name the column A (P_acc=A$2:A$500) and E (F_term=E$2:E$500) you can write
(F2) =if(c2="Parent";sumif(P_acc;B2;F_term);"")
Since I don't have access to excel at home I could not test it tho.
Hope that helps.
Edit: Corrected my denglish excel command (when->if) Thx.
