so i have some data in column A, like this,
(A1)12 (B1)
(B2)1
(B3)2
(B4)3
(A5)15 (B5)4
(B6)1
(A7)32 (B7)2
but after each value in column, there are some random number of empty cell and then another value. so the formula i am using is to calculate data between A1 and A5 in column C is
=$A$1+(B2/4)*($A$7-$A$1)
same for the next two values in column A between A5 and A7. ,
but the thing is i have a very high amount of data, is there any option that i dont have to specify cell in the above formulae, it automatically selects the non empty cells in the formulae along with their cell numbers.and cell difference.![enter image description here]

Sheet 1 will be references to individuals based on unique identifiers, such that column A will be their name and column B will have the identifier.
Sheet 2 will be an imported list of all individuals in our data set, such that column A is their name and column B is the identifier.
The goal is to be able to fill cells in Sheet 1 Column A based off of values entered in Sheet 1 Column B, by referring to Sheet 2 Column B., i.e. if the column B values match between sheets, I want the neighboring value in Column A to be copied over.
I'm a novice at this, but I don't think CONCATENATE is what I'm looking for, so the closest I've gotten is:
=IF($B:$B=Sheet2!$B:$B,Sheet2!$A:$A)
which results in a SPILL error, because I think my formula is trying to display multiple reference cells of data in one destination cell, whereas a formula such as
=IF(B3=Sheet2!B3, Sheet2!A3)
returns expected results, but is too limited for my purposes, in that it would be potentially faster to just manually enter the data, at that rate.
Trying to simplify, I'll have a sheet that has say 100 people in it, with identifiers 1 through 100. If I punch in their identifier in a separate sheet, I'm looking for their name to be displayed in a neighboring cell, or at least to have their name returned in the same cell, i.e. I enter "90" in Sheet1A1 or Sheet1B1 and it gives me "John Doe" in A1, which is the value of Sheet2B90 that's associated with the number "90" that is in Sheet2A90.
So VLOOKUP does work with some wrangling, but XLOOKUP was the ultimate solution to what I needed. A formula such as
=XLOOKUP(A13,$A$1:$A$10,$B$1:$C$10,NONE)
Would return data from B1 through B10 and C1 through C10 to elsewhere in the sheet, in this case next to a lookup cell A13 into cells B13 and C13, if the value in A13 appears within the lookup array of A1 through A10. Locking the cells with $ allows the formula to be dragged down a range of lookup cells without Excel incrementing the values of the lookup or return arrays, just the value of the lookup cell.
How to count only cells containing zero with a specific cell format?
Take this list: A1 through A10 all contains zero. Cells A1, A4 and A5 of this range have a cell format which shows zeros as stars()*. Now, I'd like to count these three cells, stars.
You should be able to use =COUNTIF(A1:A10,0) if the value of the cell is 0. It does not matter the formating, if not try =COUNTIF(A1:A10,"*")
Sample Excel image
Please see attached sample image. I have identical but unique ID Numbers in cells A2:A10, and adjacent Values in cells B2:B10. THEN, there's another string of identical but unique ID Numbers in cells A11:A15 with adjacent Values in cells B11:B15. This grouping pattern continues far down the Sheet.
I would like a drag-down formula in column C to sum all the Values from column B based on the identical ID numbers from column A, and place that total in cell C2. The next sums would be placed in cells C11 and C16 based on my sample image.
Put SUMIF in an IF:
=IF(A2<>A1,SUMIF(A:A,A2,B:B),"")
Put that in C2 and copy down.
I have 2 cells A2 and A3, I will input a min value and max value respectively in each cell. Say 100 in A2 and 200 in A3.
I would like Excel to populate cells with values within that range. So Column B would have cells 1-101 filled in with 100,101,103,104,105....200.
Is there any easy way to do this or should I just stick to putting 100 in B1 and dragging it down?
In you first cell:
=IF(ROW(1:1)-1+$A$2<=$A$3,ROW(1:1)-1+$A$2,"")
Then drag/copy the cells down far enough to cover any combination you will have. You can fill the whole column if you want.
Microsoft is working on their Dynamic Arrays, Once released, a simple formula in the first cell of:
=SEQUENCE(A3-A2+1,,A2)
Will autmatically fill down the sequence without the need of dragging the formula down.
There is the issue
I wonder if there is a way like if there is date(or text,e.g.) on B1 cell then copy B1 data to the range A2-A19, until the next cell with data (B20) and so goes on. Because on much data cannot be done by hand.
If the "date" values in column B are actually text, then enter into A1:
=IF(ISERROR(AND(FIND("/";B1)=3;FIND("/";B1;4)=6));OFFSET(A$1;ROW()-2;0);B1)
This tests for cell B1 having a "/" character at the third and sixth positions in the string.
If the "date" values are in column B are actually entered into the spreadsheet as dates, then enter into A1:
=IF(YEAR(B1)<1950;OFFSET(A$1;ROW()-2;0);B1)
This tests for the integer value of B1 (in the case of a date, this value is the number of days since December 31, 1899) falling in a year earlier than 1950. You may have to adjust 1950 to a different year depending on the details of your data.
In either case, if the test fails then the value from the previous row of column A is displayed (offsetting cell A1 by the current row minus two: for example on row 3, A1 will be offset by 3-2= 1 and A1 offset by 1 is A2).
If the test succeeds then the value from the corresponding row in column B is displayed.
The $ in the A$1 will keep that value constant when the formula is copy-pasted, so the offset calculation will work correctly. All the other values will adjust appropriately when you copy-paste down the row.
