Is it possible in Excel file to sort the data in a sequence?
I am trying to sort my data with the following details for example:
Column A
A
A
B
B
The output should be like this:
Column A
A
B
A
B
what you may perhaps try, is to have a column B added and put number behind from 1 to 2 so A and 1 A and 2, then B and 1 and B and 2 and sort afterwards by column B ... Don’t know, if this is solving your problem ... 🤔

I have 2 tables:
Table1 containing Customer & Part#
Table2 containing Part# & Type
(The actual data lists are larger)
Table1 (Customer & Part#) & Table3 (Helper):
Customer
Part#
Helper
A
1
X
B
2
Y
C
3
X
A
4
Y
A
5
X
A
5
X
A
2
Y
Table2:
Part#
Type
1
X
2
Y
3
X
4
Y
5
X
Desired result for combination of customer A and Type X:
Part#
1
5
5
These being the 3 results of part numbers in Table1 that are Customer A and the lookup of the Part# results in Type X (see also Helper column).
I'm able to retrieve the results by creating the helper column as shown in the example data, however I want to skip this column and solve it in one go. But I don't know if that's even possible.
I was thinking about something in this direction.. =INDEX (Table1[Part'#],IF(Table1[Customer]="A",ROW(Table1[Customer]))
..but there I get stuck. I think I can pickup from there with IF, ISNUMBER, SEARCH but my head errors there.
Does anybody know a way to skip the helper column for this?
PS I have office365, but FILTER is not yet released by company rules (unfortunately).
PS I prefer a formula solution, but VBA is allowed when necessary
Here is a formula solution for Excel version 2010 to 2019
In I3, formula copied down :
=IFERROR(INDEX(B:B,AGGREGATE(15,6,ROW(A$3:A$9)/(VLOOKUP(N(IF({1},B$3:B$9)),D$3:E$7,2,0)=H$3)/(A$3:A$10=G$3),ROW(A1))),"")
The title may be confusing/misleading; I'm frankly having trouble trying to say what I need in a concise manner.
I have 2 lists of distinct values in Excel.
List A:
1
2
3
List B:
C
D
E
I need to create a sheet that shows a one to many relationship where List A is the 'One' and list B is the 'Many'. So the result would be something like :
Ouput:
1 C
1 D
1 E
2 C
2 D
2 E
3 C
3 D
3 E
The results are not concatenated and are in their own cols/rows. Any suggestions?
Assuming list 1 is in A1:A3, list to is in B1:B3. Then in D1 put :
=IF(CEILING(ROW()/ROWS($A$1:$A$3),1)>ROWS($A$1:$A$3),"",INDIRECT("A"&CEILING(ROW()/ROWS($A$1:$A$3),1),TRUE))
and in E1 :
=IF(CEILING(ROW()/ROWS($B$1:$B$3),1)>ROWS($B$1:$B$3),"",INDIRECT("B"&IF(MOD(ROW(),ROWS($B$1:$B$3))=0,ROWS($B$1:$B$3),MOD(ROW(),ROWS($B$1:$B$3))),TRUE))
and drag both downwards.
Idea : Use row() to 'guide' how the which cell will indirect() address to. You can test the given mod() and ceiling function separately to 'examine' how the pattern works. [do ask if you didn't get it.] (:
please share if it works/not.
I'm looking for some help in creating a column populated with 1's for the (in this example) 'latest' revision of each unique entry (in another column).
Project # Rev Flag
=========================
FCA1 A
FCA1 D 1
FCA1 B
FCA1 B
FCA1 C
FCA1 C
BRS1 A
BRS1 B 1
BRS2 A 1
FCA2 A
FCA2 A
FCA2 B
FCA2 B
FCA2 C 1
FCA2 C 1
BRS3 A 1
FCA1 D 1
FCA1 D 1
FCA1 A
My desired output is in the 'Flag' column in the above example. For example, all Rev D's for project number FCA1 and all Rev C's for FCA2. Same thing for the other values under Project #. Note that I'd like this done independent of the order or sorting of the entries. The example just happens to show them in some sort of order for clarity.
I'm working with Excel 2010.
Thank you!
The formula you want is:
=IF(MAX(INDEX(($A$2:$A$20=$A2)*CODE($B$2:$B$20),0))=CODE($B2),1,"")
E.g.:
EDIT
Re the question how can I error handle when there is a blank entry in the Rev column? It's not possible if you are using A, B, C and D as revision codes because the CODE function won't handle an empty string in the formula I presented. If you switch to number-based revisions then it will work with this formula:
=IF(MAX(INDEX(($A$2:$A$20=$A2)*$B$2:$B$20,0))=$B2,1,"")
Noting that this is the same formula as above but without the CODE function usage. E.g. if A=1, B=2, C=3 and D=4 then:
Suppose I have a dataset:
A B C Final
1 2 3 C
4 5 6 C
I want final to return the column name of the max value. In the example above, 3 and 6 are the highest values, so columns C will be returned in the 'Final' column.Is there an efficient way/formula you can use to get the column names without using VBA? the real dataset containts 60 columns.
I would try something like this to get the column letter.
=SUBSTITUTE(ADDRESS(1,MATCH(MAX(A3:C3),A3:C3,0),4),1,"")
If you want the header, I think there's an easier way, but the extension from this would be
=INDIRECT(SUBSTITUTE(ADDRESS(1,MATCH(MAX(A3:C3),A3:C3,0),4),1,"")&1)
For the header, the better way
=INDEX(A1:C1,1,MATCH(MAX(A3:C3),A3:C3,0))
HLOOKUP is a way without VBA, but sadly HLOOKUP does only search in the first row of the array, so you should add the "title column" at the bottom
A B C Final
1 2 3 <formula1>
4 5 6 <formula2>
A B C
If the dataset starts at first corner, Formula1 would be :
=HLOOKUP(MAX(A2:C2);A2:C4;2;FALSE)
Formula2 will be
=HLOOKUP(MAX(A3:C3);A3:C4;1;FALSE)
etc...
=HLOOKUP(MAX($A3:$C3);$A3:$C$4;<manual change here backward>;FALSE)
You can use the vector form of the LOOKUP function.
If your first row, with A B C, are the labels, then:
=LOOKUP(2, 1/(MAX(A2:C2)=A2:C2),$A$1:$C$1)
I'm looking for a way to take these columns (Name/value)..
Name Value Name Value
a 1 c 3
b 2 d 4
and join them together as follows:
Name Value
a 1
b 2
c 3
d 4
Thanks
A PivotTable constructed with multiple consolidation ranges (one for each pair) would achieve the result you want (but might be little easier that copy and paste):
