How to choose the highest number from a set of same names? - excel

I am trying to modify an already existing Excel file for a client. Here is the deal. They have the following Excel sheet with these columns (the picture is a simplified version of course to make it clear to you):1
If a student has completed their Bachelor they get a 1 in the Bachelor Done column, if not they get a 0. Now what they want is to check if at least one person per city has completed their Bachelor and display this in a new table with two columns (First column with the city name and second column with a Note of Yes or No).
For example let's take Lisbon. It has 2 students, George and Helen. In this case George has not completed his bachelor yet (0) but Helen has (1). In that case, Lisbon qualifies and should get a Note of YES in the new table.
Is there any way to implement this in Excel via an IF or a VLOOKUP function? I tried, but my Excel knowledge is quite limited. They also do not want to change the format of the file, as lots of people are already working with this and they are familiar with. Best case scenario could probably be the addition of extra columns.
My question is if there is a way to find for every city the highest Bachelor Done number and based on that to have a Yes or No output. The numbers for Bachelor will always be 1 or 0. So if a city has 1 and 0, 1 should be taken and display yes. If there is a city with 3 people and only zeros, No should be displayed.
If you need any clarification, please let me know.

First copy and paste all your distinct City names into a column, then remove duplicates (data... remove duplicates). In my case, I did that in column F. Then in column G, input a formula such as this:
=IF(MAXIFS(C:C,A:A,F2) = 1, "YES", "NO")

Is there a way I can count a specific string (Product) in a column times by the neighboring cell (Quantity) so show how much of a product I have sold [duplicate]

I'm wondering if there is an easy way to do what I'm looking for. Basically, I have a balance sheet in Excel 2011 with a bunch of data. One specific piece of information I always want visible is the amount that hasn't been reimbursed. In other words, I have a column for the amount paid and another for whether or not it has been reimbursed (Yes/No). I want to sum all of the amounts paid where the reimbursed field is equal to 'No'.
I recognize I can sum the entire column and filter out those that have been reimbursed, but I'd like it to display the full amount regardless of what filter is on (or if no filter is on).
I wasn't able to find good keywords to describe this to Google, so I'm asking here. I would like to accomplish this in Excel, not in an external program or script.
If column A contains the amounts to be reimbursed, and column B contains the "yes/no" indicating whether the reimbursement has been made, then either of the following will work, though the first option is recommended:
=SUMIF(B:B,"No",A:A)
or
=SUMIFS(A:A,B:B,"No")
Here is an example that will display the amounts paid and outstanding for a small set of sample data.
A B C D
Amount Reimbursed? Total Paid: =SUMIF(B:B,"Yes",A:A)
$100 Yes Total Outstanding: =SUMIF(B:B,"No",A:A)
$200 No
$300 No
$400 Yes
$500 No
You could do this using SUMIF. This allows you to SUM a value in a cell IF a value in another cell meets the specified criteria. Here's an example:
- A B
1 100 YES
2 100 YES
3 100 NO
Using the formula: =SUMIF(B1:B3, "YES", A1:A3), you will get the result of 200.
Here's a screenshot of a working example I just did in Excel:
You should be able to use the IF function for that. the syntax is =IF(condition, value_if_true, value_if_false). To add an extra column with only the non-reimbursed amounts, you would use something like:
=IF(B1="No", A1, 0)
and sum that. There's probably a way to include it in a single cell below the column as well, but off the top of my head I can't think of anything simple.

How to count pairs of cells in alternate rows

I am preparing a weekly time-table for my school which looks like the following
The even rows contains course names, whereas the odd rows contain the teacher initials. Observe that a same paper is taken by more than one teacher (e.g., C10 C11 and G10 G11). I need to count the total number of classes per course per teacher in a week. Please help me to achieve that.
My efforts so far have been very inefficient.
I calculated the formula in B71 for each row in the entire time-table and added all the quantities in B70. However I need to have a comprehensive list of all courses with divisions for all teachers. I am not being able to generate that.
Thanks in advance.
You where pretty close in your attempt. You could use the following in B70 and fill down and to the right:
=COUNTIFS($C$10:$P$67,$A70,$C$11:$P$68,B$69)

i need an excel formual that watches a column type

Ok to paint a picture.
A sheet named bob another sheet named joe.
These sheets will have a column listed as type. it will be say E3 thru E100
in this column there will be either W, CPC, Or AMW.
A separate sheet named main will be looking at these sheets bob and joe and the column type E3 thru E100.
if the column has a w then it would count that as 1
if it has a cpc then is would count that as 1
if it has amw then it would count that as one.
And for each time it sees one of these it will added it up and tally a total back on the sheet name main.
This formula would be written 2 times for each person so it would show how many warranty jobs they did or how many customer paid jobs they did or how many aftermarket warranty job they did.
I am trying to make my job easier when i import a report from work.
can this be done is the question?
Thank you in advanced and please beware i am an idiot when it comes this stuff.
I am an ASE technician managing i group of techs and trying to make my reports not take as long as they do now which is all day so thank you in advance

It's sounds terrible, in first instance I do believe that you are trying to Count 3 codes, but unable to understand for whom,, as described later,, so better post either screen shots or sample data, help me to solve the problem.

Excel: Matching 1500 names (Column A) with Supervisors (Column B) and placing Identifier in Corresponding Column C,D,E,etc

I have a list of names with their direct supervisor that I am trying to expand upon by showing the employees the next few layers down that work for the list of names.
Column C of the linked image brings back results of 1-7 by matching the list of names in A to those in the column of 7 names. This shows that "HB" works for "SW" but that "SW" works for "ZJ," so "HB" is technically under "ZJ" too. What I am hoping to accomplish is to have a result similar to that shown below (or something that will show the employees under each supervisor). As shown below, in the data there are many names not being searched for but that are needing to be mapped to those that are being searched for. At the current count there are 1500 employee names with 7 of them being the ones searched out of a list of 143 supervisors that repeat for the employees.
Names to Look for: "Fictional names used for scenario"
Sam W. (SW) 1
Robert R. (RR) 2
Kegan G. (KG) 3
Isiah B. (IB) 4
Orville E. (OE) 5
Robert J. (RJ) 6
Zach J. (ZJ) 7
Column A Column B Column C Column D Column E
Superv. Employ.
HB PJ 7
SW HB 1 7
BE JR 2
HB IL 1 7
IL AP 1
BE WP 2
RR BE 2
KG JW 3
JW JH 3
ZJ SW 7
These results would then be used to create lists of employees under a certain person.
Things I'm not sure affects this would be how the name is constructed in the workbook. Example Sam W. is listed as Wilson, Sam in the workbook.
Of course if there is another way to achieve the final result that would be easier then I wouldn't mind an altered format to what I currently have. If anyone has an idea how to achieve this please respond. If there are any questions about more specific things in the workbook that I could supply that could help resolve this quicker also let me know for any future inquiries I may have. Thank you.
Well, if I understand what you're asking, you need to normalize your data. In this case, that means creating two tables linked by an employee code that you'll need to create.
Once you have these two tables, you can easily perform any query and summary report you need.
Giving a range that contains the 7 names and next to them 7 numbers the name AUarray then in C3 and copied down to suit:
=IFERROR(VLOOKUP(A3,LUarray,2,0),"")
and in D2 and copied down to suit:
=IFERROR(VLOOKUP(INDEX(A:A,MATCH(A3,B:B,0)),LUarray,2,0),"")
I think something similar (but maybe a lot longer!) would work for ColumnE but I don't have time for that at present.

AverageIf and Multiple data strings

I'm involved with a youth football tournament on the referee side, with assessing/coaching the referees. I've just taken over doing the data entry for the referees assessment scores which we then use to determine who gets finals etc and am looking to extract more usable information from the data to help us identify trends.
I've got (up to) 200 referees, each receiving from none to two assessment scores each day for 5 days. The scores are entered as both the raw mark and the weighted mark based on match difficulty (along with a host of other data about the match that isn't relevant to this issue.
I can extract the average mark (raw and weighted) across all referees without issues and have done so using the below formula, which is the raw average mark:
=AVERAGE(Working!AK4:AK200,Working!BK4:BK200,Working!CL4:CL200,Working!DL4:DL200,Working!EM4:EM200,Working!FM4:FM200,Working!GN4:GN200,Working!HN4:HN200,Working!IO4:IO200,Working!JO4:JO200)
But I also want to extract the average mark (raw and weighted) across two subsets - Academy and non academy referees, to help plot trends and determine where resources need to be utilised.
I've attempted to use an AVERAGEIF formula, but am getting a #VALUE! return. This is the formula that I've attempted to use to return the average raw mark for those referees in the academy:
=AVERAGEIF(Working!G4:G200,Working!G4:G200="Yes",(Working!AK4:AK200,Working!BK4:BK200,Working!CL4:CL200,Working!DL4:DL200,Working!EM4:EM200,Working!FM4:FM200,Working!GN4:GN200,Working!HN4:HN200,Working!IO4:IO200,Working!JO4:JO200))
If I do the same formula as above, but without the brackets around the [average_range], I get a 'you've used too many arguments, and it highlights BK200.
From what I've been able to find so far online, it seems that the formula I'm trying to use would only work if ALL the cells in (Working!G4:G200) returned "Yes". However if there are only 50 academy referees as indicated by "Yes" in G column, then I want those specific scores to be averaged, and the inverse for the non-academy referees.
I thought about having another sheet, which would simply contain populate from Column G (a simple =G4 and then populated down to =G200 next to all of the scores), consolidated into a block of raw marks columned under Assessment 1, 2, 3, 4.... and then the same for all of the weighted marks which would populate from the equivalent cell on the working sheet, but there's a lot of filtering, and re-sorting that goes on on the working sheet, and I'm not 100% certain that that wouldn't cause issues.
Any feedback on how to work through this problem, so that I can display the overall average mark for academy and non-academy referees in both raw and weighted form would be much appreciated, and I apologize if this post is rather convoluted.
I don't think there is a neat solution if the scores are in several columns which are not consecutive.
My suggestion is:-
(1) Work out the sum for each column separately and total them up
(2) Work out the count for each column separately and total them up
(3) Divide Sum by Count to get Average.
In my small example below with 3 referees and 3 columns:-
(1) In K2:-
=SUMIF(H2:H4,"Yes",B2:B4)+SUMIF(H2:H4,"Yes",D2:D4)+SUMIF(H2:H4,"Yes",F2:F4)
(2) In K3:-
=COUNTIFS(B2:B4,">=0",H2:H4,"Yes")+COUNTIFS(D2:D4,">=0",H2:H4,"Yes")+COUNTIFS(F2:F4,">=0",H2:H4,"Yes")
(3) In K4:
=K2/K3
This would include any zero scores (if this is possible) but exclude any blanks.
You can then scale it up to your data.
Beyond this, you would have to change the data structure either
(1) Add a row to label the columns that you want to average e.g.
Score 1 Score 2 Score 3
3 0 3
so you could pick up only the columns labelled 3 say
Here's how it would be in my small example:-
In K3:-
=SUM((B$2:F$2=3)*($H3:$H5="Yes")*B3:F5)
Which is an array formula and must be entered with Ctrl-Shift-Enter
In K4:-
=SUM((B$2:F$2=3)*($H3:$H5="Yes")*(B3:F5<>""))
another array formula
In K5:-
=K3/K4
This is how the columns you want are labelled with a 3 in row 2, so it ignores the other columns:-
(2) Consolidate them into another sheet as you suggest.
