I have a file which contains a list of data. In each cell is a name and number and a date the date is either mm/yy or mm-yy or mm-yyyy etc. (never the day just month and year)
The number I need is always going to be greater than 5 characters. Is there a way that I can get just the number from the string
xx company holding - 96923432 -02-22. (number required 96923432)
yy Company (HOLDINGS) LTD - 131002204 - 02/2023 (number required 131002204)
ab HOLDINGS LIMITED / 115472907 / Feb-23 (number required 115472907)

=========UPDATE=========
This formula will work for you, which splits your data by space, then converts to a number and then extracts the max. Adjust as needed if you have occasions where you may not have a number greater than 5 by wrapping with an IF().
=MAX(IFERROR(NUMBERVALUE(TEXTSPLIT(A2," ")),0))
This is interesting since you use 2 different delimiters. However, no worries you can simply use the following to capture both instances. If you have more possible delimiters simply just add them between the {} in both textbefore and textafter functions. Here is an example of the equation:=TEXTBEFORE(TEXTAFTER(A2, {"-","/"}), {"-","/"})
This should work for you then if you want to return nothing if output is less than 5. =IF(LEN(TEXTBEFORE(TEXTAFTER(A1,{"-","/"}),{"-","/"}))>5,TEXTBEFORE(TEXTAFTER(A1,{"-","/"}),{"-","/"}),"")
I am currently trying to check if a number in a comma-separated string is within a number interval. What I am trying to do is to check if an area code (from the comma-separated string) is within the interval of an area.
The data:
AREAS
Area interval
Name
Number of locations
1000-1499
Area 1
?
1500-1799
Area 2
?
1800-1999
Area 3
?
GEOLOCATIONS
Name
Areas List
Location A
1200, 1400
Location B
1020, 1720
Location C
1700, 1920
Location D
1940, 1950, 1730
The result I want here is the number of unique locations in the "Areas list" within the area interval. So Location D should only count ONCE in the 1800-1999 "area", and the Location A the same in the 1000-1499 location. But location B should count as one in both 1000-1499 and one in 1500-1799 (because a number from each interval is in the comma-separated string in "Areas list"):
Area interval
Name
Number of locations
1000-1499
Area 1
2
1500-1799
Area 2
3
1800-1999
Area 3
2
How is this possible?
I have tried with a COUNTIFS, but it doesnt seem to do the job.
Here is one option using FILTERXML():
Formula in C2:
=SUM(FILTERXML("<x><t>"&TEXTJOIN("</s></t><t>",,"1<s>"&SUBSTITUTE(B$7:B$10,", ","</s><s>"))&"</s></t></x>","//t[count(.//*[.>="&SUBSTITUTE(A2,"-","][.<=")&"])>0]"))
Where:
"<x><t>"&TEXTJOIN("</s></t><t>",,"1<s>"&SUBSTITUTE(B$7:B$10,", ","</s><s>"))&"</s></t></x>" - Is the part where we construct a valid piece of XML. The theory here is that we use three axes here. Each t-node will be named a literal 1 to make sure that once we return them with xpath we can sum the result. The outer x-nodes are there to make sure Excel will handle the inner axes correctly. If you are curious to know how this xml-syntax looks at the end, it's best to step through using the 'Evaluate Formula' function on the Data-tab;
//t[count(.//*[.>="&SUBSTITUTE(A2,"-","][.<=")&"])>0]")) - Basically means that we collect all t-nodes where the count of child s-nodes that are >= to the leftmost number and <= to the rightmost number is larger than zero. For A2 the xpath would look like //t[count(.//*[.>=1000][.<=1499])>0]")) after substitution. In short: //t - Select t-nodes, where count(.//* select all child-nodes where count of nodes that fullfill both requirements [.>=1000][.<=1499] is larger than zero;
Since all t-nodes equal the number 1, the SUM() of these t-nodes equals the amount of unique locations that have at least one area in its Areas List;
Important to note that FILTERXML() will result into an error if no t-nodes could be found. That would mean we need to wrap the FILTERXML() in an IFERROR(...., 0) to counter that and make the SUM() still work correctly.
Or, wrap the above in BYROW():
Formula in C2:
=BYROW(A2:A4,LAMBDA(a,SUM(FILTERXML("<x><t>"&TEXTJOIN("</s></t><t>",,"1<s>"&SUBSTITUTE(B$7:B$10,", ","</s><s>"))&"</s></t></x>","//t[count(.//*[.>="&SUBSTITUTE(a,"-","][.<=")&"])>0]"))))
Using MMULT and TEXTSPLIT:
=LET(rng,TEXTSPLIT(D2,"-"),
tarr,IFERROR(--TRIM(TEXTSPLIT(TEXTJOIN(";",,$B$2:$B$5),",",";")),0),
SUM(--(MMULT((tarr>=--TAKE(rng,,1))*(tarr<=--TAKE(rng,,-1)),SEQUENCE(COLUMNS(tarr),,1,0))>0)))
I am in very distinguished company but will add my version anyway as byrow probably is a slightly different approach
=LET(range,B$2:B$5,
lowerLimit,--#TEXTSPLIT(E2,"-"),
upperLimit,--INDEX(TEXTSPLIT(E2,"-"),2),
counts,BYROW(range,LAMBDA(r,SUM((--TEXTSPLIT(r,",")>=lowerLimit)*(--TEXTSPLIT(r,",")<=upperLimit)))),
SUM(--(counts>0))
)
Here the ugly way to do it, with A LOT of helper columns. But not so complicated 🙂
F4= =TRANSPOSE(FILTERXML("<m><r>"&SUBSTITUTE(B4;",";"</r><r>")&"</r></m>";"//r"))
F11= =TRANSPOSE(FILTERXML("<m><r>"&SUBSTITUTE(A11;"-";"</r><r>")&"</r></m>";"//r"))
F16= =SUM(F18:F21)
F18= =IF(SUM(($F4:$O4>=$F$11)*($F4:$O4<=$G$11))>0;1;"")
G18= =IF(SUM(($F4:$O4>=$F$12)*($F4:$O4<=$G$12))>0;1;"")
H18= =IF(SUM(($F4:$O4>=$F$13)*($F4:$O4<=$G$13))>0;1;"")
Wanted to check if CONCATENATE is the one to use (not sure if my excel has TEXTJOIN), and how to show just the text that has empty value in the cells.
For example in my attachment below, I want the intended result shown like in B2 and B3, where the texts shown with delimiter, when the values are false (empty).
If I were to use CONCATENATE like in Row 10 and Row 11, it's rather manual and it only capture "positive values" as in non-blank cells.
Purpose: To show pending tasks (empty/blank status cells)
Use MID with CONCATENATED IFS:
=MID(IF(C2="","/"&$C$1,"")&IF(D2="","/"&$D$1,"")&IF(E2="","/"&$E$1,"")&IF(F2="","/"&$F$1,"")&IF(GC2="","/"&$G$1,"")&IF(H2="","/"&$H$1,""),2,999)
I would use TEXJOIN and FILTER if you have the newest version of Excel.
For example: =TEXTJOIN("/",1,FILTER($E$2:$I$2, ISBLANK(E3:I3)))
EDIT: For older versions, a temporary workaround is as follows:
make a temporary array the same size as your original dataframe where each value is determined by a formula such as =IF(ISBLANK(E3), E$2&"/","")
Use something like =LEFT(CONCAT(E15:J15), LEN(CONCAT(E15:J15))-1) to get the desired result (where E15:J15 is where I elected to store the first row of the temporary array created in step 1).
I am not sure of your Excel version, but I think this would work in older versions (formatted for readability - will work if you paste it directly into cell B2 and copy down):
=LEFT(CONCAT( INDEX( CHOOSE({1;2;3},$C$1:$H$1,{"/","/","/","/","/","/"},{"","","","","",""}),
INDEX( IF(ISBLANK(C2:H2),{1;2},{3;3}),
MOD(COLUMN(A1:INDEX(1:1,,12))-1,2)+1,
(COLUMN(A1:INDEX(1:1,,12))-1)/2+1 ),
(COLUMN(A1:INDEX(1:1,,12))-1)/2+1 ) ),
SUM(7*ISBLANK(C2:H2))-1 )
Notes
As this is an array formula, you may have to enter it with CTRL + SHIFT + ENTER with an older version of Excel.
The stat labels must all have a length of 6 characters as shown in your post. If not, then they must at least have the same length and the last line SUM(7*ISBLANK(C2:H2))-1 must be changed to replace the 7 with the string length + 1, e.g. a length of 9 would be SUM(10*ISBLANK(C2:H2))-1.
If they don't have the same length, the LEFT( can be removed along with the SUM(10*ISBLANK(C2:H2))-1) at the end. You will end up having a trailing / delimiter at the end. You could fix that for the case of stat F being the last part by changing {"/","/","/","/","/","/"} to {"/","/","/","/","/",""}, but the other cases would still have a trailing /. Another approach is much more complex, but the component SUM(10*ISBLANK(C2:H2))-1) could be shaped to identify what to cut off or maybe a helper column could be built - in any case, let's hope your situation is that the stat labels all have the same length.
The delimiter "/" can be changed, but must always be a single character. If not, then then last line must be changed to SUM( [label length + delimiter length] *ISBLANK(C2:H2))-1.
This formula is fixed to 6 stat columns. If you need for it to accommodate more, it is possible by extending the {"/","/","/","/","/","/"} and {"","","","","",""} (one element for each new column) and replacing every 12 with 2 times the number of columns. Also, obviously, the references $C$1:$H$1 and C1:H2 must be changed to read in your new columns.
I want to sum a range in a column starting when Excel sees a certain account number and ending when it sees another. I won't know all the account numbers in between but they will always be in order so if it can recognize the first number and start to the last, that would be awesome. Account number has a '-' in it, so it's a string. This is for Workiva, not Excel so VBA is not an option.
Example:
1000-0000 52
1200-0001 100
1400-0001 100
1410-0001 60
1500-0001 40
1510-0002 50
1610-0003 50
Sum all accounts from 1400-0001 through 1599-9999.
Excel sees 1400-0001 (will always be first) and starts summing until it reaches something that doesn't start with 14XX-XXXX or 15XX-XXXX.
Final output = 250
SUMIFS does not care if it is a string or numbers on the compare:
=SUMIFS(B:B,A:A,">="&"1400-0001",A:A,"<="&"1599-9999")
I need to split(like divide) by 5, however each value should balance maximum possible way to each part
Example
6= 3,3 is ok. but 6= 5,1 is wrong
18= 5,5,4,4 is ok. but 18= 5,5,5,3 is wrong
21= 5,4,4,4,4 is ok. but 21= 5,5,5,5,1 is wrong
The underlying math for this is as follows. Number have to split will be split into repeats of two numbers. The smaller number is given by
=QUOTIENT(NUMBER_HAVE_TO_SPLIT,SPLIT_BY_PARTS)
and the larger number is given by
=QUOTIENT(NUMBER_HAVE_TO_SPLIT,SPLIT_BY_PARTS)+1
FYI the QUOTIENT worksheet function does integer division, e.g, QUOTIENT(13,4)=3.
The number of times the larger number is repeated is given by:
=MOD(NUMBER_HAVE_TO_SPLIT,SPLIT_BY_PARTS)
and the number of times the smaller number is repeated is given by:
=SPLIT_BY_PARTS - MOD(NUMBER_HAVE_TO_SPLIT,SPLIT_BY_PARTS)
The remaining task is to return the results in the formats you suggest. To get the comma-delimited format 3,4,4:
Convert both smaller number and larger number to text using TEXT(number,0)
Prepend each with a comma to give the strings ,3 and ,4
Use the REPT function to repeat each the appropriate number of times to give ,3 and ,4,4
Concatenate these two strings and use SUBSTITUTE to remove the first comma
A somewhat messy formula to accomplish the above is:
=SUBSTITUTE(REPT(","&TEXT(QUOTIENT(A2,B2),"0"),B2-MOD(A2,B2))&REPT(","&TEXT(QUOTIENT(A2,B2)+1,"0"),MOD(A2,B2)),",","",1)
where NUMBER_HAVE_TO_SPLIT and SPLIT_BY_PARTS are in A2 and B2, respectively.
A formula to generate the 3=1 and 4=2 format is
=TEXT(QUOTIENT(A2,B2),0)&"="&TEXT(B2-MOD(A2,B2),"0")&IF(MOD(A2,B2)>0," and "&TEXT(QUOTIENT(A2,B2)+1,0)&"="&TEXT(MOD(A2,B2),"0"),"")
