I am an occasional Excel user and stuck how to create a dynamic range.
After looking up a text in a table, how can I calculate the range next to this cell, up to the next empty row? Not using VBA.
Thanks for your help.
In H4, formula copied down :
=IFERROR(INDEX(INDEX(C:C,MATCH(F4,A:A,0)):C$1000,MATCH(G4,INDEX(B:B,MATCH(F4,A:A,0)):B$1000,0)),"")
Should you want a dynamic range,
Change C$1000 to INDEX(C:C,MATCH(9.9E+307,B:B)
and
Change B$1000 to INDEX(B:B,MATCH(9.9E+307,B:B))
Then
The H4 copied down formula become :
=IFERROR(INDEX(INDEX(C:C,MATCH(F4,A:A,0)):INDEX(C:C,MATCH(9.9E+307,B:B)),MATCH(G4,INDEX(B:B,MATCH(F4,A:A,0)):INDEX(B:B,MATCH(9.9E+307,B:B)),0)),"")
Edit :
As per Ron Rosenfeld's comment, "should B11 change to 24 and G4 change to 24"
The "Source Table" set up in Excel Table type for dynamic range growing purpose
and
The H4 formula change to :
=IFERROR(LOOKUP(9^9,Table1[price]/(LOOKUP(ROW(Table1[texture]),ROW(Table1[texture])/(Table1[texture]<>""),Table1[texture])=F4)/(Table1[length]=G4)),"")
Combining the Index() and Match() functions usually works well when using two conditions. However, you will need to fill out the entire column A with the "texture" list in order for the below formula to work.
=INDEX(<P1>, MATCH(TRUE, (<T1>=<T2>) + (<L1>=<L2>) > 1,0))
Where <P1> is your entire price column (ex. C2:C15)
Where <T1> is your entire texture column (ex. A2:A15)
Where <T2> is your texture lookup value cell
Where <L1> is your entire length column (ex. B2:B15)
Where <L2> is your length lookup value cell
Let's say that you input your texture value into cell F3, and your length value into cell F4. With the remaining columns remaining as they are in your image, you would use the following formula:
=INDEX(C2:C15, MATCH(TRUE, (A2:A15=F3) + (B2:B15=F4) > 1,0))
Now last time I had to use Index/Match I thought I had to place the formula into an array. However, the above seems to work without it.
If you notice that it's not working as expected, you can place into an array formula by clicking the cell that contains the formula, then clicking the formula box at the top. While in the formula box, simultaneously press Ctrl + Shift + Return. This should then place curly brackets around your entire formula if done properly, as such:
If you have O365 with the SEQUENCE function, you can use, for price:
=IF(G4="","",VLOOKUP(G4,INDEX($B:$C,SEQUENCE(MATCH(TRUE,ISBLANK(INDEX($B:$B,MATCH(F4,$A:$A,0)):INDEX(B:B,ROWS(B:B)-MATCH(F4,$A:$A,0))),0)-1,,MATCH(F4,$A:$A,0)),{1,2}),2,FALSE))
explanation:
get starting row:
MATCH(F4,$A:$A,0)
ending row will be the first blank row after the starting row:
MATCH(TRUE,ISBLANK(INDEX($B:$B,MATCH(F4,$A:$A,0)):INDEX(B:B,ROWS(B:B)-MATCH(F4,$A:$A,0))),0)
Construct the relevant array:
INDEX($B:$C,SEQUENCE(MATCH(TRUE,ISBLANK(INDEX($B:$B,MATCH(F4,$A:$A,0)):INDEX(B:B,ROWS(B:B)-MATCH(F4,$A:$A,0))),0)-1,,MATCH(F4,$A:$A,0)),{1,2})
The above might reduce (with wavy) to:
index(b:c,{9,10,11},{1,2}
Then it's just a matter of applying the VLOOKUP
A more understandable, but longer with more operations, formula available in O365 makes use of LET. The advantage is that one can use names which indicate what each section of the formula does.
For example:
=IF(G4="","",LET(startRow,MATCH(F4,$A:$A,0),numRows,MATCH(TRUE,ISBLANK(INDEX($B:$B,startRow):INDEX($B:$B,ROWS($B:$B)-startRow)),0)-1,
arr,INDEX($B:$C,SEQUENCE(numRows,,startRow),{1,2}),price,XLOOKUP(G4,INDEX(arr,0,1),INDEX(arr,0,2)),price))
Or, using VLOOKUP
=IF(G4="","",VLOOKUP(G4,LET(startRow,MATCH(F4,$A:$A,0),numRows,MATCH(TRUE,ISBLANK(INDEX($B:$B,startRow):INDEX($B:$B,ROWS($B:$B)-startRow)),0)-1,arr,INDEX($B:$C,SEQUENCE(numRows,,startRow),{1,2}),arr),2,FALSE))
Finally, for earlier versions of Excel, you can use this whopper where we replace the SEQUENCE function with a construct like: ROW(INDEX(A:A,firstRow):INDEX(A:A,lastRow))
=IF(G4="","",VLOOKUP(G4,INDEX($B:$C,ROW(INDEX($A:$A,MATCH(F4,$A:$A,0)):INDEX($A:$A,MATCH(F4,$A:$A,0)+MATCH(TRUE,INDEX($B:$B,MATCH(F4,$A:$A,0)):INDEX($B:$B,ROWS($B:$B))="",0)-2)),{1,2}),2,FALSE))
I have searched the Net and tried multiple solution which never worked. You are my last hope.
I have a table like that:
NAMES.......... VALUES
A...........................4
A...........................1
B...........................4
B...........................3
B...........................2
B...........................1
C...........................4
C...........................3
As you can see, the first column has names only where the second one values.
Both Names and Values often repeat them self.
The idea is to TAG the names (first column) with the MIN value taken from the second column.
So the correct result should be:
NAMES.......... VALUES
A...........................1
B...........................1
C...........................3
I am trying to do that through Excel using the INDEX+Match formula where I am trying to add a MIN formula without success:
=MIN(INDEX($D$25:$D$36,MATCH(C25,$C$25:$C$36,0),1))
I have put the MIN everywhere but none seems to work. Which is the correct syntax and if this is not the right solution, which formula might do the job?
Thank you for your time and help
With data in column A and B, in C1 through C3 enter:ABC then in D1 enter the array formula:
=MIN(IF(A$1:A$100=C1,B$1:B$100,""))
and copy down:
Array formulas must be entered with Ctrl + Shift + Enter rather than just the Enter key. If this is done correctly, the formula will appear with curly braces around it in the Formula Bar.
If the data never changes, a Pivot Table is easier to implement.
Two non-array alternatives.
With the newer MINIFS function.
=minifs(d:d, c:c, c25)
Using INDEX in its array format but entered as a standard formula,
=min(index((d$25:d$36)+(c$25:c$36<>c25)*1e99, , ))
I have a column J with the below array formula:
=IF(ISNUMBER($H$5:$H$263), $H$5:$H$263, $I$5:$I$263)
And a cell on a summary line that references the contents of that column:
=SUMIF($J$5:$J$267,"<"&(TODAY()+365), $L$5:$L$263)
The above gives me the result I want, but I am wanting to consolidate this down into a single formula.
I have tried the below:
=SUMIF(IF(ISNUMBER($H$5:$H$263), $H$5:$H$263, $I$5:$I$263),"<"&(TODAY()+365), $L$5:$L$263)
But it ends up only summing the contents of the left side of the IF
So the below can get me what I want:
=SUMIF(IF(ISNUMBER($H$5:$H$263), $I$5:$I$263, $H$5:$H$263),"<"&(TODAY()+365), $L$5:$L$263) + SUMIF(IF(ISNUMBER($H$5:$H$263), $H$5:$H$263, $I$5:$I$263),"<"&(TODAY()+365), $L$5:$L$263)
But I'm not sure what I am doing wrong with the first shorter formula.
Use this array formula:
=SUM(IF(IF(ISNUMBER($H$5:$H$263),$H$5:$H$263,$I$5:$I$263)<TODAY()+365,$L$5:$L$263))
Being an array formula it needs to be confirmed with Ctrl-Shift-Enter instead of Enter when exiting edit mode. If done correctly then Excel will put {} around the formula.
You can use SUMPRODUCT without the need for CSE:
=SUMPRODUCT(((ISNUMBER($H$5:$H$263)*($H$5:$H$263)+(NOT(ISNUMBER($H$5:$H$263)) * ($I$5:$I$263)))<TODAY()+365)*$L$5:$L$263)
I would also recommend the use of EDATE(TODAY(),12) in place of TODAY()+365 to deal with leap year.
I'm trying to find in a list the lowest unique value.
I tried to find out a way on google, but nothing seem to work like I want.
What i have :
John;5
Leon;7
Mark;5
Bob;3
Peter;3
Louis:4
Desired result: "4" because it's the lower unique value.
Suppose I add in the original list:
Alex;4
The new result is about to be "7" because it's the new lowest unique value.
my excel sheet :
Assuming your data is setup so that names are in column A and values are in column B so that it looks like this:
In cell D2 (or wherever you want the result), use this array formula (Note that array formulas must be confirmed with CTRLSHIFTENTER and not just ENTER):
=MIN(IF(COUNTIF(B2:B20,B2:B20)=1,B2:B20))
You'll know you've entered it as an array formula correctly because you'll see it surrounded by curly braces {=formula}in the formula bar. Do NOT add the curly braces manually.
You'll also notice that I have extra rows in there than just the used rows. Normally I'd suggest using a dynamic named range, but this works for now. So when you add the new line of Alex; 4, you get this:
And you can see the formula now has the new correct value of 7.
With data in columns A and B, in C1 enter:
=COUNTIF(B:B,B1)
and copy down. Then in another cell enter the array formula:
=MIN(IF(C:C=1,B:B))
Array formulas must be entered with Ctrl + Shift + Enter rather than just the Enter key.
To avoid speed problems, make the limits on the ranges as small as possible:
=MIN(IF(C1:C6=1,B1:B6))
I've been Googling for hours trying to create a COUNTIFS formula that will:
count the unique records in a table range
that have dates that fall within 4 years after
a year in a referenced cell
This is what I have so far: =COUNTIFS(dte_degr_conferred2,"<="&YEAR('Student Success and Progress'!$G$1)+4) but it is not correct and I've tried several variations
Please note: dte_degr_conferred2 column contains dates, 'Student Success and Progress'!$G$1 contains a 4-digit year
Many Thanks
Perhaps you mean this array formula**:
=SUM(IF(FREQUENCY(IF(dte_degr_conferred2<>"",IF(YEAR(dte_degr_conferred2)='Student Success and Progress'!G1,dte_degr_conferred2)),dte_degr_conferred2),1))
Regards
**Array formulas are not entered in the same way as 'standard' formulas. Instead of pressing just ENTER, you first hold down CTRL and SHIFT, and only then press ENTER. If you've done it correctly, you'll notice Excel puts curly brackets {} around the formula (though do not attempt to manually insert these yourself).
Trying to work out exactly what you need (you might be overcomplicating). Here is an example of using the COUNTIFS formula to compare dates. This formula was entered into cell E6 with the setup as below:
=COUNTIFS($B$2:$B$6,"<="&E3+4,$B$2:$B$6,">="&E3)
I have an even more simplistic interpretation:
=COUNTIF(dte_degr_conferred2,">="&DATE('Student Success and Progress'!$G$1+4,1,1))
The "count unique" requirement makes this an interesting question.
Here's what I've come up with:
=SUM(
IF(
FREQUENCY(
IF((YEAR(ddc)>=ssp!$G$1) + (YEAR(ddc)<ssp!$G$1+4) = 2, ddc, ""),
IF((YEAR(ddc)>=ssp!$G$1) + (YEAR(ddc)<ssp!$G$1+4) = 2, ddc, "")
)>0,
1
)
)
... where ddc is dte_degr_conferred2 and ssp is 'Student Success and Progress'. (When posting to SO, it's helpful to reduce a question to its essentials, because that makes it easier to respond to, as well as making it more universally useful.)
Enter as an array formula: Ctrl + Shift + Enter
Example
In this example, there are three distinct dates that match the criteria: 05/12/2014, 09/12/2014, and 05/26/2012.
How it works:
When creating array formulas, it can be useful to work out the calculations separately before joining them in an array. I've done so here:
Column C is =(YEAR(A1)>=$B$1) + (YEAR(A1)<$B$1+4) (copied down). In Excel, TRUE is 1 and FALSE is 0, so you can add boolean values together. If A1 is between B1 and B1+4, both operands are TRUE, and TRUE + TRUE = 2.
Column D is =IF(C1=2,A1,"") (copied down). This grabs the data that matches the criteria. (I formatted as numbers to highlight the fact that Excel stores dates as numbers.)
Column E is =SUM(IF(FREQUENCY(D1:D10,D1:D10)>0,1)). For an explanation of this method, see http://office.microsoft.com/en-us/excel-help/count-occurrences-of-values-or-unique-values-in-a-data-range-HP003056118.aspx
My solution at top combines all this into a single array formula.
