I have tried to multiply two values from different tables in another table. (Please see the picture below). However I have received #VALUE. Do you know why it is not working?
I used this formula:
=Table5[#Income]*Table4[#Income]
To the best of my knowledge, it will only work when oriented like this
The data has to be on the same actual row as the formula, not just the same row relative to the top of the table.

The issue I am having is trying to use XLOOKUP on a table column that has been generated using a ranking formula.
The Rank column is created using the following formula so that it adjusts dynamically depending on the visible columns (auto-filtering) since RANK.AVG or EQ does not take that into account.
=SUMPRODUCT(SUBTOTAL(3,OFFSET(Table2[[#All],[Sales]],ROW(Table2[[#All],[Sales]])-MIN(ROW(Table2[[#All],[Sales]])),0,1)),--([#Sales]<Table2[[#All],[Sales]]))
The XLOOKUP I am using is simple
=XLOOKUP(1,Table2[Rank], Table2[Rep])
The idea is that the field at the top would show the top ranked performer based on the visible rows. The problem is that when filtering the data, the rank column adjusts as it should, but the XLOOKUP does not function as I would expect. It sticks with the originally ranked 1 or even does something complete weird that I can't explain when running combinations of filters in the region column..
Anyone have any advice how I could better structure this to make it function in the intended manner. Any help at all would be appreciated.
You'll need to employ a similar construction to account for visible rows only, for example:
=LOOKUP(1,QUOTIENT(0,SUBTOTAL(3,OFFSET(INDEX(Table2[Sales],1),ROW(Table2[Sales])-MIN(ROW(Table2[Sales])),))*(Table2[Rank]=1)),Table2[Rep])
Not sure why you're referencing the table header row in your other formula.
Short question: Is there a way to get a formula that references a column in an Excel table to always refer to only the column with that name? This is a straight-up formula question, not VBA-related.
Formula:
=COUNTIFS(Table35[[dc]:[dc]],$A6)
In this case column A has a data center name in it. Table 35 is the output of another program that produces data for an ETL and also most of the same data for this spreadsheet that is used for both analysis and status reporting.
Problem
Due to the nature of analysis, the shape of the data changes. It seems like about once a week there is another variable (column) that needs to be added to the ETL and analysis. I've simply been copying the program output, going to the upper left hand of the table and pasting. For all of my PivotTable analysis of this data it works exactly the way I want it to.
The problem happens to my dashboard built with various Countifs() formulas like the one above. My initial expectation of behavior is that by referencing the data (first by column name and now as a range of columns that contain only one column of data) that Countifs() would select the data based on column header value (much like using vlookup() + match() together).
Instead what happens is that when a column gets added the names in all of my formulas change. It appears the internal representation essentially says I want column #N. No matter what data happens to be in column N, that is what shows up. So for example, [dc] above turns into [CS Windows Error Message]
Is there any way to indicate that I want the column named "dc" regardless of where in the table dc is located? Even the great and omniscient Google has failed me on this one. Help appreciated.
Try wrapping the table reference into the Indirect function. That will preserve the column name and return the correct value.
=COUNTIFS(INDIRECT("Table1[dc]"),2)
or, with your formula
=COUNTIFS(INDIRECT("Table35[[dc]:[dc]]"),$A6)
So basically, I have been trying to make excel scan one column and print out the row for cells which have specific letters.
For example I have the following data in my sheet.
What is required is to be have excel search for the values which contain T and I, and then print the new rows. Kind of like separate the two into two different tables, because then so that I can do further analysis on them.
So far I have been trying to use the VLOOKUP() function, but the problem with VLOOKUP() is that excel required a proper match and not just a letter in the cell. I had tried with both FALSE and TRUE. Then instead I tried to use the =INDEX($B$4:$K$9;MATCH($A$17;$A$5:$A$9;0);COLUMN(A4)) to make it work. But that also does not work, since it also requires a full match. Also another problem which I didn't realise before is that how can excel recognise each cell, because I will have different number after the letters everytime and then so how can one make excel not repeat the same row twice?
I have used another approach where I copy the data in a separated sheet and then I simply filter out the Ts and then copy/paste the Is into another sheet and vice versa. it is time consuming and so it would be much better if I can simply copy/paste my new data and it would generate the division on its own.
any suggestions or link would be really helpful.
UPDATE
I had a new idea on how to approach this problem. I was thinking that is it somehow possible to have VBA code running for filtering the data. Is there a way to specify in VBA code to filter the data by "Starts With" and Make the results be printed in another cell block?
Looks simple enough. First step is to make sure you have headers over your data and that it is in proper table format similar to my picture. Then select Data set and press CTRL+T. That should turn you data in to table object with stripes. Use the Formula =LEFT(C2,1) to take out the first letter which will be L or T.
Select the table and press ALT+D+P which will generate a pivot table based off original data set.
Drag the column with the formula I suggested over to the FILTERS area of the pivot table ID column to ROWS and all others to VALUES. Simply refresh and as new data is added you will get new pivot tables. Do not put the pivot tables on top of each other as I did that is only for the picture so you can see it. If you have too many filters to apply you can right click the helper column in the pivot table fields area to produce a slicer which is a button that helps you change the report quickly. Any other questions do ask.
I have been struggling with this issue in the past days and haven't found yet any solution.
I have a simple table (not a pivot table) and some slicers attached to it. I want to 'simply' show selected value/values of the slicer in a cell. It implies of course to make the cell update automatically according to the selection.
Some of the solutions I found suggested using two pivot tables, one main for the regular data and the other hidden to capture the selected filters. The problem is that I am not working with a pivot table, but rather a simple table.
I also tried getting distinct values of the table column, but I couldn't perform it properly without getting the hidden values of the filtered table too.
Is there any way in Excel to do this simply?
Thank you!
You can follow the below steps to achieve your result
You will have to insert a serial number column in your table
After that insert the below formula above the header or anywhere you want to display the selected value
The formula in C2 is
=INDEX(Table1[Data 2],SUBTOTAL(5,Table1[S.No]))
So I got this excel file with a lot of data which is why I want to avoid doing all this manually. Basically what I want to do is find all values that is the same in one column and then combine all it's values to one row.
If I have this data in a worksheet.
I would like the output to be like this
I appreciate all the help I can get.
EDIT:
This is what I get from a Pivot Table
When I actually would want it to look like this.
You must use Pivot Table function from (i recommend it) MS Excel.
It lets you to set wich columns becomes rows, what type of values they will contain and much more.
Pivot Tables are what you want.
It saved my career at my previous job :)
Here you got some screenshot of example for making sums for all duplicates in first column:
