Counting 15's in Cribbage Hand - excel
Background
This is a followup question to my previous finding a straight in a cribbage hand question and Counting Pairs in Cribbage Hand
Objective
Count the number of ways cards can be combined to a total of 15, then score 2 points for each pair. Ace worth 1, and J,Q,K are worth 10.
What I have Tried
So my first poke at a solution required 26 different formulas. Basically I checked each possible way to combine cards to see if the total was 15. 1 way to add 5 cards, 5 ways to add 4 cards, 10 ways to add 3 cards, and 10 ways to add 2 cards. I thought I had this licked until I realized I was only looking at combinations, I had not considered the fact that I had to cap the value of cards 11, 12, and 13 to 10. I initially tried an array formula something along the lines of:
MIN(MOD(B1:F1-1,13)+1,10)
But the problem with this is that MIN takes the minimum value of all results not the individual results compared to 10.
I then tried it with an IF function, which worked, but involved the use of CSE formula even wehen being used with SUMPRODUCT which is something I try to avoid when I can
IF(MOD(B1:F1-1,13)+1<11,MOD(B1:F1-1,13)+1,10)
Then I stumble on an answer to a question in code golf which I modified to lead me to this formula, which I kind of like for some strange reason, but its a bit long in repetitive use:
--MID("01020304050607080910101010",1+(MOD(B1:F1-1,13)*2),2)
My current working formulas are:
5 card check
=(SUMPRODUCT(--MID("01020304050607080910101010",1+(MOD(B1:F1-1,13)*2),2))=15)*2
4 card checks
=(SUM(AGGREGATE(15,6,--MID("01020304050607080910101010",1+(MOD(B1:F1-1,13)*2),2),{1,2,3,4}))=15)*2
=(SUM(AGGREGATE(15,6,--MID("01020304050607080910101010",1+(MOD(B1:F1-1,13)*2),2),{1,2,3,5}))=15)*2
=(SUM(AGGREGATE(15,6,--MID("01020304050607080910101010",1+(MOD(B1:F1-1,13)*2),2),{1,2,4,5}))=15)*2
=(SUM(AGGREGATE(15,6,--MID("01020304050607080910101010",1+(MOD(B1:F1-1,13)*2),2),{1,3,4,5}))=15)*2
=(SUM(AGGREGATE(15,6,--MID("01020304050607080910101010",1+(MOD(B1:F1-1,13)*2),2),{2,3,4,5}))=15)*2
3 card checks
same as 4 card checks using all combinations for 3 cards in the {1,2,3}.
There are 10 different combinations, so 10 different formulas.
The 2 card check was based on the solution by Tom in Counting Pairs in Cribbage Hand and all two cards are checked with a single formula. (yes it is CSE)
2 card check
{=SUM(--(--MID("01020304050607080910101010",1+(MOD(B1:F1-1,13)*2),2)+TRANSPOSE(--MID("01020304050607080910101010",1+(MOD(B1:F1-1,13)*2),2))=15))}
Question
Can the 3 and 4 card combination sum check be brought into a single formula similar to the 2 card check?
Is there a better way to convert cards 11,12,13 to a value of 10?

Excel Version
Excel 2013
For 5:
=(SUMPRODUCT(CHOOSE(MOD(A1:E1-1,13)+1,1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9,10,10,10,10))=15)*2
For 4:
=SUMPRODUCT(--(MMULT(INDEX(CHOOSE(MOD(A1:E1-1,13)+1,1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9,10,10,10,10)*ROW($1:$10)^0,ROW($1:$5),{1,2,3,4;1,2,3,5;1,2,4,5;1,3,4,5;2,3,4,5}),ROW($1:$4)^0)=15))*2
For 3
=SUMPRODUCT(--(MMULT(INDEX(CHOOSE(MOD(A1:E1-1,13)+1,1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9,10,10,10,10)*ROW($1:$10)^0,ROW($1:$10),{1,2,3;1,2,4;1,2,5;1,3,4;1,3,5;1,4,5;2,3,4;2,3,5;2,4,5;3,4,5}),ROW($1:$3)^0)=15))*2
For 2:
SUMPRODUCT(--((CHOOSE(MOD(A1:E1-1,13)+1,1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9,10,10,10,10))+(TRANSPOSE(CHOOSE(MOD(A1:E1-1,13)+1,1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9,10,10,10,10)))=15))
All together:
=(SUMPRODUCT(CHOOSE(MOD(A1:E1-1,13)+1,1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9,10,10,10,10))=15)*2+
SUMPRODUCT(--(MMULT(INDEX(CHOOSE(MOD(A1:E1-1,13)+1,1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9,10,10,10,10)*ROW($1:$10)^0,ROW($1:$5),{1,2,3,4;1,2,3,5;1,2,4,5;1,3,4,5;2,3,4,5}),ROW($1:$4)^0)=15))*2+
SUMPRODUCT(--(MMULT(INDEX(CHOOSE(MOD(A1:E1-1,13)+1,1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9,10,10,10,10)*ROW($1:$10)^0,ROW($1:$10),{1,2,3;1,2,4;1,2,5;1,3,4;1,3,5;1,4,5;2,3,4;2,3,5;2,4,5;3,4,5}),ROW($1:$3)^0)=15))*2+
SUMPRODUCT(--((CHOOSE(MOD(A1:E1-1,13)+1,1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9,10,10,10,10))+(TRANSPOSE(CHOOSE(MOD(A1:E1-1,13)+1,1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9,10,10,10,10)))=15))
For older versions we need to "trick" INDEX into accepting the arrays as Row and Column References:
We do that by using N(IF({1},[thearray]))
=(SUMPRODUCT(CHOOSE(MOD(A1:E1-1,13)+1,1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9,10,10,10,10))=15)*2+
SUMPRODUCT(--(MMULT(INDEX(CHOOSE(MOD(A1:E1-1,13)+1,1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9,10,10,10,10)*ROW($1:$10)^0,N(IF({1},ROW($1:$5))),N(IF({1},{1,2,3,4;1,2,3,5;1,2,4,5;1,3,4,5;2,3,4,5}))),ROW($1:$4)^0)=15))*2+
SUMPRODUCT(--(MMULT(INDEX(CHOOSE(MOD(A1:E1-1,13)+1,1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9,10,10,10,10)*ROW($1:$10)^0,N(IF({1},ROW($1:$10))),N(IF({1},{1,2,3;1,2,4;1,2,5;1,3,4;1,3,5;1,4,5;2,3,4;2,3,5;2,4,5;3,4,5}))),ROW($1:$3)^0)=15))*2+
SUMPRODUCT(--((CHOOSE(MOD(A1:E1-1,13)+1,1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9,10,10,10,10))+(TRANSPOSE(CHOOSE(MOD(A1:E1-1,13)+1,1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9,10,10,10,10)))=15))
This is a CSE That must be confirmed with Ctrl-Shift-Enter instead of Enter when exiting edit mode.

Adding zeros to a string without generating a new variable
I am trying to add zeros to a string variable in such a way that all levels of the variables have same number of digits (assume 3). clear input tina bina str4 pine 1 10 "99" 1 11 "99" 2 11 "99" 2 11 "99" 3 12 "." 4 12 "888" 5 14 "88" 6 15 "777" 7 16 "77" 8 17 "0" 8 18 "7" end I managed to do this by generating a new variable which stores the number of digits I need to add to each observation in order to reach 3: generate pi=3-strlen(pine) replace pine= ("0"*pi) + pine if strlen(pine)<3 I wonder if there is a way to obtain the same result but without generating the variable? I tried the following but it does not work : replace pine= ("0"*(`=3-strlen(pine)')) + pine if strlen(pine)<3 Probably I am not so clear about what happens when I evaluate expressions.
Your approach does not work because it evaluates the expression for the first observation only: . display `= 3 - strlen(pine)' 1 The single quotes are not required: replace pine = ("0" * (3-strlen(pine) ) ) + pine if strlen(pine) < 3 +--------------------+ | tina bina pine | |--------------------| 1. | 1 10 099 | 2. | 1 11 099 | 3. | 2 11 099 | 4. | 2 11 099 | 5. | 3 12 00. | |--------------------| 6. | 4 12 888 | 7. | 5 14 088 | 8. | 6 15 777 | 9. | 7 16 077 | 10. | 8 17 000 | |--------------------| 11. | 8 18 007 | +--------------------+
I know there is already an accepted answer, but I wanted to throw out my suggestion. This is maybe a little bit simpler than the other answer and is straightforward to explain. You just want to replace a string variable of real numbers with leading zeros and keep it as a string. You can easily do this by running: replace pine = string(real(pine),"%03.0f") Depending on your goal this is maybe better than the previous answer, because it maintains your missing value as missing and not add zeros to it. Hopefully this helpful.
Grouping excel files by Week Number
I am trying to work on a Excel that has a giant amount of data with dates, to simplify I want it to group the different numbers into weeks, allow me to explain: The actual rows are like: 29-11-2018 | 49 | 1 | 4 |7 | 2 30-11-2018 | 49 | 4 | 0 |2 | 1 Where "49" is the week number from the date. I'm trying to make Excel put together those lines by week and add the other lines, like this: 49 | 5 | 4 | 9 | 3 And this for all the weeks, so I can know the exact number of data for every week. Is there a way of doing this? Thanks! Regards,
Assuming your data is located at A2:F3.. H2 ---> =B2 put I2 ---> =IF($B1<>$B2,C2,I1+C2) and drag to L2, then N2 ---> =IF($B3<>$B2,H2,"") and drag to R2. Select H2:R2 and drag to the end.. you'll see your intended result in column N to R.
Excel Summing Sequences?
I'm trying to do sequential summing on a spreadsheet. The first rows are data by date, and I want do sums by the week. but Excel's autopopulate keeps screwing it up and I don't know how to fix that. Date A ---- 1 | 5 2 | 5 3 | 5 4 | 5 5 | 5 6 | 5 7 | 5 8 | 5 9 | 5 10 | 5 11 | 5 12 | 5 13 | 5 14 | 5 so what I want in another area Week Total 1 | =sum(A1:A7) 2 | =sum(A8:A14) 3 | =sum(A15:A21) 4 | continue like this for 52 weeks but what excel keeps giving me with it's auto populating is Week Total 1 | =sum(A1:A7) #The first iteration 2 | =sum(A2:A8) #auto generated 3 | =sum(A3:A9) #auto generated How can I get excel to give me the results I want here? I've been searching on summing for a while and can't seem to even phrase my question right.
=sum(indirect("A"&(row()*7-6)&":A"&(row()*7))) pasted in row 1 and below should work at least in sheets, it does. (and excel docs say indirect works)
How to count cells that reply to a condition
Lets say I have this kind of spreadsheet: P1A | P2A | P3A| RA 1 | 2 | 3 | 1 2 | 4 | 2 | 4 1 | 3 | 3 | 3 Where each row represents answers to a question. First row is title row. P1A - P3A is player1 through player3 answers and RA is the right answer. Is it possible to add subtotal row which will show number of right answers for each player without adding extra columns for making "IF" tests. So the total will look like this: 1 | 2 | 1
You can use sum product to find this. Use the formula like below =SUMPRODUCT((A2:A4=$D2:$D4)*1)
Excel Ranking tie assistance
Can anyone help me to do the following in relation to ties when using the Excel Rank function? Col A contains scores and B contains the rank. I am quite happy with this except that I would like to show an '=' next to the ranking where it is a tie: Score Rank 66 3 64 4= 63 6 68 2 64 4= 81 1 etc Many thanks.
You can combine your RANK with COUNITF. Place the following into cell B3 as per the example =RANK(A3,$A$3:$A$7)&IF(COUNTIF($A$3:$A$7,A3)>1,"=","") Note, if you are using Excel 2013 or 2016, it would be a good idea to replace RANK with RANK.EQ
This can be done in another column next to the column where you have ranked it. Step 1: Rank the numbers in a simple manner using RANK.EQ Output: (A)|(B) 66 | 3 64 | 4 63 | 6 68 | 2 64 | 4 81 | 1 Step 2: In another column use the code IF(COUNTIF(A:A,A1)>1,CONCATENATE(B1,"="), B1) Output: (A)|(B)|(C) 66 | 3 | 3 64 | 4 | 4= 63 | 6 | 6 68 | 2 | 2 64 | 4 | 4= 81 | 1 | 1 You can paste the values and remove the columns as required. Hope it helps. :)
