Excel - Multiplier Effect / Loop - excel

I have a situation that for every 6 contracts I sign I am able to sign an additional 1. That also means that for every additional 6 contracts I can sign another contract. This of course goes on for ever.
Contract Additional Additional(2) Total
6 1 0 7
12 2 0 14
18 3 0 21
24 4 0 28
30 5 0 35
36 6 1 43
...
Is there away of doing generating the total without using VBA?
Thanks

Your "Total" column is related to the "Contract" column by:
Total = INT(Contract+(Contract-6)/5)+1
So the formula to fill down would be =INT(A2+(A2-6)/5)+1 if your "Contract" column is column A.

Put this in the first cell and copy down:
=7*ROW($ZZ1)+INT((ROW($ZZ1))/6)

so basically add the SIZE and YEARS columns from SET 2 and merge on CLASS onto SET 1. In excel how you can do this? I need to match on CLASS
Define both sets as tables and “left join” in PowerQuery. There you can choose the columns of the resulting table.
https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/power-query/merge-queries-left-outer
If you have Set 1 on the top left of a worksheet "Set1" and Set 2 on the top left of a worksheet "Set2", then you can use the formula
=VLOOKUP(A2;'Set2'!$A$2:$C$4;2;FALSE), where $A$2:$C$4 is the range of Set2, and A2 is the class value from Set1, which is what is used to do the lookup in Set2. The next argument, 2, means to take the second row from Set2, and the FALSE at the end means that you only want exact matches on the CLASS. You can do auto-fill with this formula, and do similar steps for the years. If you look up the help for VLOOKUP within Excel, that should help you to understand how it works.
Your first set of data is essentially your primary set of data that you just want to add attribute columns to. I built this example on Google Sheets which should help explain. Using spill formulas, only a few cells are needed with their own formulas. You can see them as they are highlighted in yellow. When you use in Excel, obviously make sure you change the column references, but this would get you the answer.
Note you have to have SpillRange in Excel for this to work. To test, see if you have the formula =unique()
This solution may work for you if both sets start in the same column. As example in my image, both of them start at column A. You can get all data with a single VLOOKUP formula:
Formula in cell E2 is:
=VLOOKUP($A2;$A$22:$R$25;COLUMN($B22);FALSE)
Notice the mixed references at first and third argument and absolute references in the second one. Third argument is critical, because is the relational position between both sets, that's the reason it's easier if both sets start at same column. If not, you'll need to adjust this argument substracting or adding, depending on the case.
Anyways, with a single formula, you can get any number of columns. The only disavantage of this formula is that you need to manually drag to right until you got all the columns (10, 30 or whatever). You'll notice you are done because the formula will raise an error:
This error means you are trying to get a referenced outside of your column area.

AGGREGAT with critiera and duplicates in array

I have the following Excel spreadsheet:
A B C D E
1 ProdID Price Unique ProdID 1. Biggest 2. Biggest
2 2606639 40 2606639 50 50
3 2606639 50 4633523 45 35
4 2606639 20 3911436 25 25
5 2606639 50
6 4633523 45
7 4633523 20
8 4633523 35
9 3911436 20
10 3911436 25
11 3911436 25
12 3911436 15
In Cells D2:E4 I want to show the 1. biggest and 2. biggest price of each ProdID in Column A. Therefore, I use the following formula:
D2 =AGGREGAT(14,6,$B$2:$B$12/($A$2:$A$12=$C2),1)
E2 =AGGREGAT(14,6,$B$2:$B$12/($A$2:$A$12=$C2),2)
This formula works as long as the prices are unique in Column B as you can see on the second ProdID (4633523).
However, once the price is not unique in Column B (for example 50 for ProdID 26026639 and 25 for ProdID 3911436) the functions in Cells D2:E4 does not show the right results.
Do you have an idea if you can solve this issue with the AGGREGAT-Formula and wihtout using an ARRAY-Formula?
you could check number of occurences of the first ProdID-price combinations and use that in the last argument of the AGGREGAT function. So instead of
=AGGREGAT(14,6,$B$2:$B$12/($A$2:$A$12=$C2),2)
you would have
=AGGREGAT(14,6,$B$2:$B$12/($A$2:$A$12=$C2),2+COUNTIFS(A:A,C2,B:B,D2)-1)
of course you can just put "1+COUNTIFS..." but I put it this way so it can be better understood that it uses position 2 + number of occurences of the combination of ProdID with biggest number after the first occurence.

Using Excel to allocate values based off their rank while remaining within constraints

I am trying to create a resource calculator that can tell me how many people i need to put on each section depending on the current work waiting and work coming in. Prioritizing sections which have the most work waiting first.
Upper Limit Allocation Prod Ranking
12 [to calc] 28% 1
15 18% 2
5 17% 3
4 8% 4
2 6% 5
3 .2% 6
4 .2% 6
Similar to the other question I have a constraint that i only have so much to allocate. For this example we will use 38 as the amount that is to be allocated.
I have used the formula from the other answer:
=MIN(A2,$E$1-SUMIF($D$2:$D$8,"<"&D2,$B$2:$B$8))
Where E1 contains the total to be allocated.
I have two issues with this formula:
1)The issue that I am having is that I require a minimum value of atleast 1 person in each of these sections.
I have tried using a max function to simply set this value, however this leads to the resources allocated going over the total amount.
What equation would I need to use to make it account for both the total available to allocate, the minimum requirement for each fund and the maximum limit for each fund.
2) It only returns solid integers, would there be a way to retreive more precise results, maybe by changing it to a % distribution?
UL Alloc Rank Capacity Lower Limit
2 1 15 93 1
3 1 15
4 1 15
6 6 8
1 1 15
2 1 15
4 4 9
2 2 7
4 4 4
15 15 2
12 12 10
12 12 1
1 1 11
13 13 5
6 6 6
5 1 15
5 5 3
1 1 14
2 2 13
3 3 12
3 1 15
Reference: Using the Excel's Rank() function to calculate allocations based on ranking and constraints
Simply subtract the 100 on all sides and add them separately:
=MIN(A2-100,($E$1-100*COUNTA($A$2:$A$8))-(SUMIF($D$2:$D$8,"<"&D2,$B$2:$B$8)-COUNTIF($D$2:$D$8,"<"&D2)*100))+100
What is returned depends on your entries in Column A and in E1. You can change Column A based on a percentage distribution and the formula will return the corresponding values.
Edit:
If you set your lower threshold into F2, your Constraint into E2, using this formula
=MIN(A2-$F$2,($E$2-$F$2*COUNTA($A$2:$A$8))-(SUMIF($D$2:$D$8,"<"&D2,$B$2:$B$8)-COUNTIF($D$2:$D$8,"<"&D2)*$F$2))+$F$2
the result looks like this:

Excel bottom up autofill/addition

I need to fill and add up the values in column with the value below, if the value is null or 0, I want it to use the previous field value. This is part of my backlog calculation, and I can't find/remember the formula I used last time.
A is what I have, b is what I need

What about:
=IF(ISBLANK(A1),B2,A1+B2)

Paste subsequent values in excel with condition

I have data in an Excel sheet as:
Column A Column B
1 1
5 5
6 6
50 50
.. 51
.. 52
.. 53
1 1
5 2
6 6
50 50
.. 51
.. 52
.. 53
very long list
I want to fill Column B corresponding to Column A as shown above that if cell A is not blank then cell B will have same value as A ..and if Cell A has value 50, then next blank rows in column B will have subsequent values after 50 ..
I tried to make formula
=IF(A2="",IF(A2=50,50,VALUE(A1)+1),A2)
and pasted in Cell B2 and dragged but it is giving me wrong results:
5
6
50
51
1
1
..
Can anyone please suggest? Thanks in advance.
This assumes your data starts in row 2. Paste in B2 and fill down.
=IFERROR(IF(A2<>"",A2,IF(OR(AND(A2=50,A3=""),B1>=50),1+B1,"")),"")
This works on your use case, but it's all kinds of kludgy so might not extend well to other cases.
You can simply paste in B2
=IF(ISBLANK(A2),B1+1,A2)
and then copy the formula by dragging it down
Outcome:
A B
---------
1 1
5 5
6 6
50 50
51
52
53
1 1
5 5
6 6
50 50
51
52
53
Note: it won't work for B1. You have to have enter a value in this cell manually.
