Is there a formula to vlookup row(normal vlookup) + a condition to lookup a column?
For example the row I am lookup up is "TOTAL" and the column I want to lookup is "JULY 2020" , this will change based on cell input. However this sheet always is changing and months are added. I dont want to hardcode the col index num.
Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks.
Is the total always in the same row? If so, then a simple hlookup formula would work. For the table range, just extend as far right as you want.
Here's a solution if the total is always in the same row, for example:
EDITS MADE AFTER HERE
If the "total" could be different rows (like row 4 or 5), then use index-match-match formula:
=INDEX(E2:HDD4,MATCH(A5,D2:D5,0),MATCH(B4,E1:DD1,0))
But I'm a little confused on how a total could be in rows 4 or 5. Do you still have one row that says "total"? If you have two rows for total, then maybe add another row for "total", and make it the bottom-most value of rows 4 and 5. If that's the case, then you could stick with the hlookup formula.
So in this case, in row 7 (totaltotal), create this array formula for each column:
=INDEX(E1:E5,MAX((E1:E5<>"")*(ROW(E1:E5))))
Make sure to press CTRL-SHIFT-ENTER after entering the formula to make it an array. Then cell B5 would be the hlookup formula from before, but making it reference row 7 instead of row 4 this time.
=HLOOKUP(B4,D:DD,7,FALSE)

So this seems like it should be pretty easy. I could just concatenate and make another column in the data to make a unique combo and get my answer. But that just seems so messy. So here I am reaching out to you fine folks to pick your brains.
I want to look up HQLine and Description in the MPCC tab to return the correct MPCC Code. I tried a couple IF statements with VLOOKUPS but couldn't get it right.
So I need to look up BK3 Positive Crankcase Ventilation (PCV) Connector in the MPCC tab. So it needs to match BK3 and the Long description and then give me the correct code.
Here is the missing data file
Here is the MPCC export list that I want to search
Use SUMIFS.
SUMIFS will find the sum in a table of rows that meet certain criteria. If the MPCC is always a number, and the MQAb-LongDescription is always unique, SUMIFS will find the correct ID.
=SUMIFS(Sheet1!C$2:C$100,Sheet1!A$2:A$100,A2,Sheet1!B$2:B$100,B2)
where Sheet1!A$2:A$100 is the HQAb data, Sheet1!B$2:B$100 is the Long Description data, Sheet1!C$2:C$100 is the MPCC Number data, A2 is the HQLine, and B2 is the Description.
The formula would go in C1.
More information on VLookup with Multiple Criteria
You can use an Index/Match with multiple criteria.
I'm assuming that you will put this formula in "Sheet1", cell C2, and your lookup data is in a sheet called "Sheet2", columns A, B, C from row 2 to 30.
Put this in Sheet1, C2:
=INDEX(Sheet2!$C$2:$C$30,MATCH(A2&B2,Sheet2!$A$2:$A$30&Sheet2!$B$2:$B$30,0))
(Enter with CTRL+SHIFT+ENTER) and drag down.)
Adjust the ranges as necessary.
lets assume your first Table is on sheet 1 in the range A1:C11 and the MPCC codes are located on Sheet 2 in the range A1:C32. Each table has a header row so your data really starts in row 2.
Similar to BruceWayne's answer of using an array formula, you can bring the array calculation inside of a formula and avoid the special array treatment. There are a few functions that can do this. I will demonstrate with the SUMPRODUCT function;
On Sheet 1, Cell C2, use the following formula:
=INDEX('Sheet 2'!$C$1:C$32,SUMPRODUCT((A2='Sheet 2'!$A$2:A$32)*(B2='Sheet 2'!$B$2:B$32)*row('Sheet 2'!$A$2:A$32))
Explanation:
When the value in A2 matches the value in the range in the second sheet it will be true and false when it does not. when True False get used in math operations they are treated at 1 and 0 respectively. Therefore the only result from your two search criteria will be the rows where A2 match is true and B2 match is true and this will have a value of 1. The 1 will then be multiplied by the row number. Since all other results will be 0 since your list is a unique combination, the sum part of sumproduct will sum up to the row number where your unique row is located. This in turn is used by the indext function to return the row to give your unique number.
I have been trying to create a formula that decides whether a row matches a criteria, and then sums data in the row based on a second criteria. I have tried my luck with LOOKUP,VLOOKUP, HLOOKUP, and INDEX, but have not figured out a correct formula. The most common error I get back is #Value when the sum would take place.
Example:
Let's say that the formula is in Q2. The formula needs to be able to match up A123 with the row A-123-4 (A2) and then sumif the row as long as the cells in that row are within the proper month MONTH($B$11:$I$11)=1
What I made initially was this:
{=SUM(IF(MONTH($B$11:$I$11)=1,$B2:$I2,0))}
The problem is that both of these are tables, so if the information gets rearanged using a filter, the data shifts. How can I get the formula to determine which row is the proper row to sumif?
Use This in Q2 and copy over and down:
=SUMPRODUCT(INDEX($B:$I,MATCH(LEFT($P2) & "-" &MID($P2,2,LEN($P2)) & "*",$A:$A,0),0)*(MONTH($B$11:$I$11) = MONTH(Q$1)))
I am trying to display the total sum of all the numbers for a particular column. I want the sum to be displayed above the column as follows:
21 30
A B
6 5
6 10
6 10
3 5
I know I can sum the values and display it at the bottom of the column using =SUM(A3:INDIRECT("D"&ROW()-2)), however I am not getting a way to display it at the top of the column.
Please guide.
Based on the comments and the previous answers I suggest following formula, entered in cell A1:
=SUM(OFFSET(A$2,0,0,ROWS(b:b)-1))
You can then copy/paste to the right till second last column.
You could also modify your formula in A1 like this to achieve the same:
=SUM(INDIRECT("A2:A"&ROWS(A:A)-2))
But then you cannot copy/paste to the right...
A more general approach with your idea would be:
=SUM(INDIRECT(ADDRESS(ROW()+1,COLUMN())&":"&ADDRESS(ROWS(A:A),COLUMN())))
You can then copy/paste to the right till last column.
Some explanations:
Both formula sums up every value in the range from A2 till the bottom of column A (i.e. for Excel 2010 this would be A2:A1048576)
It doesn't matter if there are blanks or cells without value; the formula sums up only the numbers
I put A$2 and B:B in the OFFSET formula to avoid circular references, since I'm writing in cell A1 and I cannot write A$1 nor A:A
With the INDIRECT formula you don't have to worry about circular references
Further commenting (sorry, I don't have the credits to comment at the right place under the question):
Phylogenesis formula =SUM(A3:A65535) could also do the work, isn't it?
Didn't understand your question at first, because you talk of "sum of all the numbers for a particular row" but then you sum columns, isn't it?
When I'm doing something like this, I prefer to not include any empty cells beneath the range I'm summing, because I've had errors in the past as the result of including them (usually because there's a cell way down in the column somewhere that I'm not expecting to have a value). I'm assuming that A & B are your column headers. Assuming that, here is how I would do it. This is your formula for cell A1:
=SUM(OFFSET(A$1,2,0,COUNTA(A$3:A$65535)))
Explanation
I'm updating this with a brief explanation, per the OP's request.
According to ExcelFunctions.net:
The Excel Offset function returns range of cells that is a specified number of rows and columns from an initial supplied range.
The function reference for OFFSET is:
=OFFSET(reference, rows, cols, [height], [width])
What this formula does is create a dynamic range based on the number of cells in the selection, relative to cell A$1. This is an offset of two rows and no columns, which starts the range at A$3. The height of the range is the total number of filled cells in the range A$3:A$65535. The assumption here is that there are no blank cells in the range, which there were not in the sample data.
My question is how can I find an intersecting cell of a specific column and row number?
My situation is this: with some calculations I find two cells, lets say B6 and E1. I know that I need a row of the first one and a column of the second one. So I could just use ROW and COLUMN functions to get the numbers. After that, I need to find an intersecting cell. Which would be E6 in this example.
I would just use INDEX(A1:Z100;ROW;COLUMN) but I don't know the exact area that I'm going to need - it depends on other stuff. I could use something like A1:XFG65000 but that is way too lame. I could also use a combination of INDIRECT(ADDRESS()) but I'm pulling data from a closed workbook so INDIRECT will not work.
If this would help to know what is this all for - here's a concrete example:
I need to find limits of a section of a sheet that I would work with. I know that it starts from the column B and goes all the way down to the last non-empty cell in this column. This range ends with a last column that has any value in first row. So to define it - I need to find the intersection of this last column and the last row with values in B column.
I use this array formula to find the last column:
INDEX(1:1;MAX((1:1<>"")*(COLUMN(1:1))))
And this array formula to find the last row:
INDEX(B:B;MAX((B:B<>"")*(ROW(B:B)))
Last column results in E1 and last row results in B6. Now I need to define my range as B1:E6, how can I get E6 out of this all to put into the resulting formula? I've been thinking for a while now and not being and Excel expert - I couldn't come up with anything. So any help would really be appreciated. Thanks!
You can use an Index/Match combination and use the Match to find the relevant cell. Use one Match() for the row and one Match() for the column.
The index/match function to find the last cell in a sheet where
column B is the leftmost table column
row 1 is the topmost table row
data in column B and in row 1 can be a mix of text and numbers
there can be empty cells in column B and row 1
the last populated cell in column B marks the last row of the table
the last populated cell in row 1 marks the last column of the table
With these premises, the following will return correct results, used in a Sum() with A1 as the starting cell and Index to return the lower right cell of the range:
=SUM(A1:INDEX(1:1048576,MAX(IFERROR(MATCH(99^99,B:B,1),0),IFERROR(MATCH("zzzz",B:B,1),0)),MAX(IFERROR(MATCH(99^99,1:1,1),0),IFERROR(MATCH("zzzz",1:1,1),0))))
Since you seem to be on a system with the semicolon as the list delimiter, here is the formula with semicolons:
=SUM(A1:INDEX(1:1048576;MAX(IFERROR(MATCH(99^99;B:B;1);0);IFERROR(MATCH("zzzz";B:B;1);0));MAX(IFERROR(MATCH(99^99;1:1;1);0);IFERROR(MATCH("zzzz";1:1;1);0))))
Offset would seem to be the way to go
=OFFSET($A$1,ROW(CELL1)-1,COLUMN(CELL2)-1)
(The -1 is needed because we already have 1 column and 1 row in A1)
in your example, =OFFSET($A$1,ROW(B6)-1,COLUMN(E1)-1) would give the value in E6
There is also ADDRESSS if you want the location: =ADDRESS(ROW(B6),COLUMN(E1)) gives the answer $E$6
The following webpage has a much easier solution, and it seems to work.
https://trumpexcel.com/intersect-operator-in-excel/
For example, in a cell, type simply: =C:C 6:6. Be sure to include one space between the column designation and the row designation. The result in your cell will be the value of cell C6. Of course, you can use more limited ranges, such as =C2:C13 B5:D5 (as shown on the webpage).
As I was searching for the answer to the same basic question, it astounded me that there is no INTERSECT worksheet function in Excel. There is an INTERSECT feature in VBA (I think), but not a worksheet function.
Anyway, the simple spacing method shown above seems to work, at least in straightforward cases.
How can I sort a table in sheet 1 like
A B C D E
3 7 3 6 5
into another table in sheet 2
A C E D B
3 3 5 6 7
by using function only?
One really easy way to do it would be to just have a rank index and then use HLOOKUP to find the corresponding values:
=RANK(A4,$A$4:$E$4,1)
=IF(COUNTIF($A$1:A$1,A1)>1,RANK(A4,$A$4:$E$4,1)+COUNTIF($A$1:A$1,A1)-1,RANK(A4,$A$4:$E$4,1))
=HLOOKUP(COLUMN(),$A$2:$E$4,2,FALSE)
=HLOOKUP(COLUMN(),$A$2:$E$4,3,FALSE)
Okay, here's the "one formula does it all" solution without additional temporary columns:
Formula in A6:
=INDEX($A$2:$E$2,MATCH(SMALL($A$3:$E$3+COLUMN($A$3:$E$3)/100000000,COLUMN()),$A$3:$E$3+COLUMN($A$3:$E$3)/100000000,0))
Enter it as an array formula, i.e. press Ctrl-Shift-Enter. Then copy it to the adjacent columns.
To get also the number, use this formula in A7 (again as array formula):
=ROUND(SMALL($A$3:$E$3+COLUMN($A$3:$E$3)/100000000,COLUMN()),6)
Both formulas are a bit bloated as they have to also handle the potential duplicates. The solution is to simply add a very tiny fraction of the column before applying the sorting (SMALL function) - and then to remove it again...
I think an easier solution is to use the "Large" function:
The Column functions are just an easy way to count from 5 down to 1, but a helper column may be even easier.
You can have a similar answer using the "Small" function as well.
Although I have used the "add a small number technique", I think this is the most elegant for a helper row/column:
=RANK(B4,$B$4:$F$4,0) + COUNTIF($B$4:$F$4,B4)-1
(copy across the row column) RANK gets you close and the COUNTIF portion handles duplicates by counting the number of duplicates of the cell to that point. Since there is always match (itself) you subtract 1 for the final rank. This "sorts" ties in the order that they appear. Note that an empty cell will generate #N/A and character data as #Values.
It's doable! :-)
Here is the sample file.
Explanation
I assume that your data is in row 1 of Sheet1 and that you want the data sorted starting in column 1 of another sheet - if not, adjust accordingly.
Place this formula in column 1 of the target sheet, say in row 2:
=ROUND(SMALL(Sheet1!$A$1:$E$1+COLUMN(Sheet1!$A$1:$E$1)/100000000,COLUMN()),6)
You need to enter the formula as an array formula, i.e. press Ctrl-Shift-Enter.
In case you place it in another column than column one, you need to replace COLUMN() with COLUMN()-COLUMN($A$2)+1 where $A$2must be a reference to the cell itself.
This formula will return you the lowest number in your range - if you copy it the next 4 columns, you'll get your order list of numbers.
To translate this back to the column number, we need to perform 2 steps:
Figure out the column number:This can be done with with this formula:
=MATCH(SMALL(Sheet1!$A$1:$E$1+COLUMN(Sheet1!$A$1:$E$1)/100000000,COLUMN()),Sheet1!$A$1:$E$1+COLUMN(Sheet1!$A$1:$E$1)/100000000,0)
- again, to be entered as array formula. If the source data does not start in column A, you need to add +COLUMN(Sheet1!$A$1)-1 where $A$1 needs to be replaced with the leftmost cell of the source data.
Convert the column number to a letter:Assuming your column number from step 1 is in cell A6, this formula will do the job:
=LEFT(ADDRESS(1,A6,2),SEARCH("$",ADDRESS(1,A6,2))-1)
Of course, you can also combine step 1&2, this will result in this megaformula:
=LEFT(
ADDRESS(
1,
MATCH(
SMALL(Sheet1!$A$1:$E$1+COLUMN(Sheet1!$A$1:$E$1)/100000000,COLUMN()),
Sheet1!$A$1:$E$1+COLUMN(Sheet1!$A$1:$E$1)/100000000,
0),
2),
SEARCH(
"$",
ADDRESS(
1,
MATCH(
SMALL(Sheet1!$A$1:$E$1+COLUMN(Sheet1!$A$1:$E$1)/100000000,COLUMN()),
Sheet1!$A$1:$E$1+COLUMN(Sheet1!$A$1:$E$1)/100000000,0),
2)
)-1
)
Again, to be entered as array formula.
