Vlookup with multiple conditions (negative / maximum value in the array) - excel

I am trying to create a VLOOKUP with condition to fill up columns G and H.
The algorithm/condition is something like this.
Target: Lookup M value from Column C, by matching the Node.
If Mz < 0, it goes to G (Take the Mininum value of Mz, i.e. largest negative Mz)
If Mz > 0, it goes to H (Take the Maximum value of Mz, i.e. largest positive Mz)
I tried to create an array formula {=IF(MIN(VLOOKUP(F2,$B:$C,2,FALSE))<0,VLOOKUP(F2,$B:$C,2,FALSE),0)}
But it doesn't seem to work properly.
Appreciate your enlightenment for this newbie. Thank you so much.

For your version of Excel:
Negatives: =AGGREGATE(15,6,1/($F2=$B:$B)*$C:$C,1)
Positives: =AGGREGATE(14,6,1/($F2=$B:$B)*$C:$C,1)

This solves the issue:
How it works:
An array (CSE) formula in cell D96:
{=MIN(IF($A$96:$A$112=$C96,$B$96:$B$112))}
An array (CSE) formula in cell E96:
{=MAX(IF($A$96:$A$112=$C96,$B$96:$B$112))}
N.B.
Finish formula with Ctrl+Shift+Enter & fill down.
Used groups are 1 to 5, you may include more.
Adjust cell references in the formula as needed.
Another solution should be Pivot Table to Find Max/Min Value In A Group.

Sum.ifs for few single cells in a row

Im trying to make sum.ifs formula to sum values in one row based on criteria.
In Criteria for Z I want to sum ALL Zs in table and same for D criteria.
Can I use sort of sum.ifs(A1:C1:E1;B1:D1:F1;G1) function? Unfortunately A1:C1:E1 trys to take range, not single cells and I get error...
What about this: (ugly but working)
=SUM(IF(A3:E3="Z",OFFSET(A3:E3,0,1),0))
It just goes over all cells (even the ones with the values are checked if they equal "Z", but as this is not the case (as they are values), they are skipped).
Edit (better formulated than the first one):
Next proposal:
=SUM(IF($A3:$E3=F$2,OFFSET($A3:$E3,0,1),0))
The dollarsigns are meant for fixing rows and/or columns:
$A3:$E3 : we will always be working with columns A to E, but the rows may change.
F$2 : the criteria are always on row 2, but some are in column F ("Z")
and some in column G ("D").
Place this in G3
=SUMIF(A3:E3,{"=Z","=D"},B3:F3)
The range A3:E3 is checked for the criteria of "=Z" and "=D" in turn, and the range over B3:F3 is then summed.
If you have Office 365 you could use: =SUM(FILTER(B3:F3,COUNTIF(G2:H2,A3:E3)>0))
Not sure if you wanted all summed at once or per letter. To have sum per letter use:
=SUM(FILTER(B3:F3,COUNTIF(G2:H2,A3:E3)>0)) and drag to the right

OFFSET Formula Modification

I know how the offset formula (e.g. =OFFSET($B$5,(ROW(A1)*n)-1,0)) works. However, can you advise how to modify it to get 1st cell from column B (and then as I drag it down) first cell from C and then second cell from B and second cell from C, and so on?
Thanks
You can try using a mix of OFFSET, MOD and ROUNDUP functions to get an ever-changing mix of rows & cols parameters:
=OFFSET($B$1,ROUNDUP(ABS(ROW(A1)/2),0)-1,MOD(ROW(A2),2))
I included some random values in cells B1:C6 to present the result in a clearer way:

Find minimum value in multiple column range with criteria

How can I find the minimum value in columns B:C in the table below if the volume is <= 10.
The expected result is in yellow.

Either:
=AGGREGATE(15,6,C2:C9/(A2:B9<=10),1)
or, array formula**:
=MIN(IF(A2:B9<=10,C2:C9))
If there may be blank cells in B2:C9:
=AGGREGATE(15,6,1/(1/C2:C9)/(A2:B9<=10),1)
or:
=MIN(IF(A2:B9<=10,IF(ISNUMBER(C2:C9),C2:C9)))
Regards
You can use this formula to get the minimum value (Which according to me should be 20 in your data set)
=MIN(1/AGGREGATE(14,6,1/((A2:A9<=10)*B2:B9),1),1/AGGREGATE(14,6,1/((A2:A9<=10)*C2:C9),1))
for each additional column(say D) you will have to add the formula 1/AGGREGATE(14,6,1/((A2:A9<=10)*D2:D9),1) inside the MIN() formula.
Looking for a better way to do this.
EDIT:
Alternatively you could add a new row below your data. for each column you add the below formula to get the min for that column
=1/AGGREGATE(14,6,1/(($A$2:$A$9<=10)*B2:B9),1)
Now you can drag this formula to as many columns you want. Take the MIN() of this row to get the overall minimum.

Excel Formula with IF... ELSE

Hi all,
I have this excel where by I need to find the location of the item if they are found in column B.
So In my F column, I tried to write ifelse formula which didnt work.which is
=IF(D2="NULL","NONE",C((D2))).
My idea is if D2 is not null, use the value in D column to find the location in C column. In this example, fish no 4, so it is found, my F column should show the value "C" using the value shown in D column and use it as Row no in C column
I hope you guys get the idea and help me out a newbie in excel. Thanks in advance
=vlookup($D2,$A$2:$C$6,3,0)
you can use that in column F. Place that formula in F2 and copy down.
you could technically use it in column E as well, but you would need to change the 3 to a 2.
you did not say what you wanted to do if the D value was "Null" so I am going to take a stab at the dark and wrap you lookup formula in an if statement that will deal with "Null" or empty cells
=IF(OR($D2="NULL",$D2=""),"",VLOOKUP($D2,$A$2:$C$6,3,0))
That is the alternative formula to place in F2 and copy down.
Use the formula:
=IF(D2<>"NULL",VLOOKUP(D2,A2:C6,3,FALSE),"Value is NULL")
Here is the working example:
Put formula in cell F2 and drag it down.
[edit]to pull proper location column, not just the row #[/edit]
Seems like a job for MATCH+OFFSET
Try this formula in cell F2:
=OFFSET($C$1, MATCH(E2,B:B,0)-1, 0, 1, 1)
Match is used to locate the value in the first argument (ie E2) within the range specified in 2nd argument (ie B:B). I use B:B but you could also use range B2:B30 or whatever more specific range you want. (I prefer the more generic B:B, though :) )
Third paramter "0" just indicates "Exact match".
This function will retun "#N/A" if nothing found.
OFFSET takes the result from MATCH to pick out the Location you want. The first parameter in OFFSET is the rows below (or above if negative) from the base row (in this case $C$1). the next is the column: 0 since we're in the column we want to be in. The last two are the size of the range: 1,1 is a 1x1 cell, so just 1 cell. If we did ...,2,3), that would be 2 rows high and 3 columns wide - or a 6 cell range. We're just after 1 cell here.
I've always preferred MATCH + OFFSET to other options, I just found they held up more robustly to changes in a sheet (ie new rows/columns added). So it's mostly personaly preference over VLOOKUP and INDEX. I honestly have never compared their actual performance, however, I've never had any issues with MATCH+OFFSET running slowly :)

Average a list of numbers if greater than 0

How do I average a list of numbers whose values are greater than 0? I know I can use AVERAGEIF function in Excel
My data is located in A2, A5, A6, A10, A17.
I only want to average it if the data is greater than 0.
Since my data is not an range, I am not able to use AVERAGEIF Function range.
Need some help on this.
EDIT
For example,
I tried with three numbers:
1) 98.068 and 98.954 and 0 so my forumla looked like this:
=AVERAGE(IF(N(OFFSET(A2,{0,5,10},))>0,N(OFFSET(A2,{0,5,10},))))
The answer came out as 99.106. Not sure why.
A few options:
1)=SUM(SUMIF(INDIRECT({"A2","A5","A6","A10","A17"}),">0"))/SUM(COUNTIF(INDIRECT({"A2","A5","A6","A10","A17"}),">0"))
2)=AVERAGE(IF(N(INDIRECT({"A2","A5","A6","A10","A17"}))>0,N(INDIRECT({"A2","A5","A6","A10","A17"}))))
3)
=AVERAGE(IF(N(OFFSET(A2,{0,3,4,8,15},))>0,N(OFFSET(A2,{0,3,4,8,15},))))
2) and 3) must be committed as array formulas**
Regards
(0) A simple method
=SUM(A2*(A2>0),A5*(A5>0),A6*(A6>0),A10*(A10>0),A17*(A17>0))/SUM(A2>0,A5>0,A6>0,A10>0,A17>0)
(4) A more general method
=SUM((A1:A20>0)*A1:A20*(ADDRESS(ROW(A1:A20),1,4)={"A2","A5","A6","A10","A17"}))/
SUM((A1:A20>0)*(ADDRESS(ROW(A1:A20),1,4)={"A2","A5","A6","A10","A17"}))
The second one is an array formula and must be entered with CtrlShiftEnter
If it's possible to have text in the cells rather than numbers, then this should replace the first formula:-
=SUM(N(A2)*(A2>0),N(A5)*(A5>0),N(A6)*(A6>0),N(A10)*(A10>0),N(A17)*(A17>0))/SUM(N(A2)>0,N(A5)>0,N(A6)>0,N(A10)>0,N(A17)>0)
(I haven't used N in the > brackets in the numerator because I reason that if A2 etc. is text, the product will always be zero)
I can't persuade N to work with arrays in the second formula, so at the moment I have the rather lengthy
=SUM((IF(ISNUMBER(A1:A20),A1:A20,0)>0)*IF(ISNUMBER(A1:A20),A1:A20,0)*(ADDRESS(ROW(A1:A20),1,4)={"A2","A5","A6","A10","A17"}))/
SUM((IF(ISNUMBER(A1:A20),A1:A20,0)>0)*(ADDRESS(ROW(A1:A20),1,4)={"A2","A5","A6","A10","A17"}))
but I have tested it on text values and negative numbers and it does seem fine.
The only exception is if one of the cells contains TRUE. In this case the first formula will count it as 1, the second formula will ignore it.
