Excel formulas to work on cells with prefix - excel-formula

I am trying to figure out quite a simple solution to make excel either include cells with prefix in the formula or split the cell into two and use the number in the formula.
SC16 1.00--1.00--1.00--1.00
SC17 *2.0--3.00--4.00-*5
SC18 2.00--3.00--4.00--5.00
SC19 2.00-*3 *4--5.00--0.00
SC20 *2.0--3.00--4.00--5.00
sc16-20 =SUM(B1:B5) =SUM(C1:C5) =SUM(D1:D5) =SUM(E1:E5)
formulas in the picture
How can I make this work?

Solution 1: cleanse the data into a new column and sum on it
Copy the following formula in a new column for converting all values to numbers (let's say you paste it in F1, and then you drag it up to F5)
=IF(ISNUMBER(B1); B1; NUMBERVALUE(REPLACE(B1;1;1;"")))
Sum the cells in that new column (i.e. with the formula below in F6)
=SUM(F1:F5)
Thus, the column F will contain the cleansed values for column B.
BONUS: After that, you can even drag F1-F6 cells to the right, in order to get the same for C, D and E columns.
Solution 2: Split into two columns (one with the asterisks if any, and the other one with the numbers only)
Same as above + paste the formula below in the column that will contain the asterisks if any
=IF(ISNUMBER(B1); ""; MID(B1; 1; 1))

Excel: How do I efficiently condition a cell so that I can identify a cell with observation counts less than a certain number?

Basically I wanted to only extract the top 2 rows for every Entry #, but if the Entry # does not have 2 rows it is not used.
I tried IF statements and eliminating blanks and whatnot, but if this is a large data I would not be able to handle it.
If you don't mind adding a few columns, here's one method. Arrange how you wish.
Column's B and F are your original data.
Column C, in cell C2, input your first value manually (1 in this case).
Then here's the formula for Cell C3:
=IF(ISBLANK(B3),C2,B3)
Cell D2 formula:
=IF(C2=C1,D1+1,1)
Cell E2 formula:
=IF(COUNTIF(C:C,C2)>1,"Yes","No")
Drag down your formulas.
Then you can filter on column E for YES, and filter on column D for 1 & 2.

excel SUMIFS only on same date

I'm trying to create a formula in column K which sums all cells that apply , in column J, only when the following conditions are true:
dates are the same in column A
AND client name is the same in column B
For example, in cell K2, I want the sum of J2+J3+J4 because A2=A3=A4 and B2=B3=B4.
K5=J5 only, because there are no other dates with the same client name.
K6=J6+J7 because A6=A7 and B6=B7.
What kind of formula would I use for this? I can't figure out how to do it with a SUMIFS.
I would try using a pivot table with:
The names as row values
The dates as the column values
And funds received using SUM in the values column
Edit
Based on #pnuts comments here is how to get the values in column K. Put this in K2 and drag down.
=IF(OR(COUNTIFS($B$1:B3, B3) = 1, B3 = ""), SUMIFS($J$2:J2, $A$2:A2, A2, $B$2:B2, B2), "")
This formula will give blank values until the formula finds a new client on a new date. However, I still think using pivot table is a better solution.
However, I still find the pivot table
In cell K2 put following formula:
=IF(COUNTIFS($A$2:A2,A2,$B$2:B2,B2)=1,SUMIFS($J$2:$J$10,$A$2:$A$10,A2,$B$2:$B$10,B2),"")
Adjust row 10 value. It will be last row of your actual data.
Copy down as much you need.
EDIT
Uploaded file shows the cause behind formula not working correctly for you. It turned out to be whitespace characters in column B (names) data e.g.
Cell B3: "Moe John" has a trailing space.
Cell B10: Same case with "Doe Jane"
If you want to use above posted formula then all names shall be corrected. Or alternatively to deal with spaces you can adopt below approach.
=IF(COUNTIFS($A$2:A2,A2,$B$2:B2,"*"&TRIM(B2)&"*")=1,SUMIFS($J$2:$J$28,$A$2:$A$28,A2,$B$2:$B$28,B2),"")
Notice the change in COUNTIFS formula where B2 is now replaced with "*"&TRIM(B2)&"*".
Even such formula will take a beating if you have uneven whitespace characters in between your data. I'd suggest normalizing it as much as possible.

Excel get cells value if cells contain specific text

I have Table 1 & 2 like image.
How i can get all cells value if ID is equals?
If you just need to add numbers, there are formulas for this, but I'm not sure if there's a single formula for adding string values as in the provided example. One way to resolve this is by using accumulator columns as in this screen shot:
The formula in cell C3 is:
=IF($A3<>C$1,C2,IF(C2=0,$B3,C2&", "&$B3))
Copy this down to cell E10 (or wherever that table needs to end) and columns C to E will accumulate the values from column B. Table 2 then just maps the first and last rows of the accumulator columns. The zeros in cells C2 to E2 is a work-around to prevent Excel from converting blank cells into zeros.
Hope this helps!

Sort row data into columns with same heading in excel 2010

Put simply, I need to sort row data for a specific range into the correct columns based on that columns heading. For example, if there are five columns labelled A through E, and data in the rows below ranging from A through E; I need all of the A's to be in the A column, all of the B's in the B column etc.
Example start data:
How it should look after the sort:
It also must be able to work with the possibility of having empty cells. For example; if the first example data had no B in row 3, the data must not shift over to the left so that C is in the B column etc.
Other info: not feasible to do by hand - over 450 rows.
It also must be able to work with the possibility of having empty cells.
Taking the above into consideration.
NON VBA WAY
Insert enough columns so that the data moves to the right
Next in the row one, duplicate the values from your data
Next in Cell A2 Put this formula
=IF(COUNTIF($H$2:$L$2,A1)>0,A1,"")
Copy the formula to the right
Next remove "$" from the table range and add it to the header in formula in Cell A2 so that we can copy the formula down. This is how it would look
=IF(COUNTIF(H2:L2,$A$1)>0,$A$1,"")
Similarly your B2 formula will look like this
=IF(COUNTIF(H2:L2,$B$1)>0,$B$1,"")
Change it for the rest
How highlight cells A2:E2 and copy the formula down.
Your final Sorted Data looks like this.
Copy columns A:E and do a paste special values on Col A:E itself so that the formulas change into values and then delete Cols H:L

Count values in groups

I have a table with student IDs separated in groups. I need a handy way to count the total number of students in each group and populate it after the last row of each group (marked with ??)
Currently I just enter =COUNT() and then manually figure out the top and bottom borders of the range for each group. Not convenient at all.
I was thinking that a possible solution could be one of the following:
A some kind of pivot table permutation. I failed on this one.
Excel Data->Outline->Subtotals functions. Again, fail. It keeps creating new rows in my table.
A universal formula that can be pasted into each ?? cell. Not the most graceful solution, but still would do.
A macro. As a last remedy if nothing else works.
The following steps will calculate the subtotals while preserving the structuring and formatting of your worksheet.
Put this formula in cell C1 and copy the formula down the column:
=IF(NOT(ISERROR(SEARCH("Total",A1))),COUNTA(INDIRECT("B"&MATCH(LEFT(A1,LEN(A1)-7),A:A,0)+1&".B"&(MATCH(A1,A:A,0)+1))),IF(B1="","",B1))
Apply a conditional format to cell C1 with the formula rule =(MOD(ROW(C1),2)=0) and blue fill to match the shading on the other rows. Copy the format down the column using Paste Special Format.
Either hide column B, or copy the values in column C to column B using Paste Special Values and hide Column C. If you decide to copy the values to column B, you won't need to set the conditional formats.
Here is what the formula does:
First, check whether the formula's row is a Total row, by searching the cell in column A of the row for the word "Total," using the SEARCH function.
If the word "Total" is found:
Determine the range in the worksheet of the student IDs for the group for that total row:
a) Identify the rows in which the words "GroupX" and "GroupX Total" are found by using the MATCH function. With that, you know that the IDs for the group are in a range that starts at, say, row x and ends at row y.
b) With the starting and ending row numbers, construct the address range in which the IDs lie, which has to be the string "B" + (row x) + "." + "B" + (row y).
c) Turn the string into a range reference that can actually used in a formula using the INDIRECT function.
Count the number of students in the group using the COUNTA function and the range, and show that as the formula's result.
If the word "Total" is not found
Check whether the cell in column B is empty
a) If it is empty, show a blank as the formula's result
b) if it is not empty, it must be a student ID, so show the ID as the formula's result.
Add a column (I usually add it to the LEFT of the existing matrix) where you enter a formula from row 2 onwards that fills the blanks in the old column A. Then the old matrix including your new column can be used in a pivot.
So Insert a column left of your matrix, this is column A now. Put a header in Cell A1, for example "Group Name1"
Enter the following formula in cell B2 and extend it to the end:
=IF(B2="",A1,B2) This way your blanks will be filled.
Now apply a pivot on this matrix and there you are.
Maybe not the nicest looking solution, but its quick and works well.
If u have table like this
Students id Name of students group ........
then u can use countif/countifs formula
