I have exported a list of items from a website, this data all sits in row one with different 'types' of data in every 8th row.
For example The name of the first item item is in row 1, with its date in row 2 and a barcode in row 3 etc
The second product name is in row 8 with its corresponding date in row 9 and its barcode in row 10 etc
I would like to rearrange this into columns so that every 8th row goes into a column. Does anyone know how to do this please?
I have tried transposing the data but this does not work.
See the current data format from my sheet below:
The format I would like is as below:
You can use INDIRECT and ADDRESS functions:
=INDIRECT(ADDRESS(COLUMN(A1)+(7*(ROW(A2)-2)) - COLUMN($A$1) + ROW($A$1); ROW(A$1) - ROW($A$1) + COLUMN($A$1)))

I have a spreadsheet with sales data for a given month for a number of different stores. There are approximately 450 rows (stores) to go through. The days of the month are in row 1, starting in column B, with the store numbers in column A, starting in row 2. What I need to find are the rows that are missing data for different days. I can use conditional formatting to highlight the cells that are empty, but that is still a lot to look at. What I am trying to do is reduce the amount of cells to look at by deleting any rows that are not missing data. So if a row is not missing any days of data, then I don't need to look at it, and can delete it. But if it is missing data, then keep the row.
I'm stuck on figuring out the actual code, but I have come up with pseudo code for what I want:
foreach row in range ($B$2:$AB$450)
foreach cell in row
if cell < 1
delete row
end foreach
end foreach
Here is an example of the spreadsheet:
A B C D
1 12/1/2019 12/2/2019 12/3/2019
2 Site 1 1000 2000
3 Site 2 5000 5000 3000
4 Site 3 6000 4000 3000
In this example, rows 4 and 4 would be deleted because they are not missing any data.
Thanks
**assuming that you have 4 columns and they start in column B:
with an array formula you can see the length of characters in each row.
=MIN(LEN(B2:E2))
for example, you can use the above formula in row 2 (remember: ctrl+shift+enter to use it)
So, if you apply that formula per row, you should be able to know if you have missing value per row (all of them that have length 0 per row); then, use that column to filter. E.g. Filter anything that is not 0.
I have a table that looks like this:
Type Value
Movie 5
Food 3
Gas 10
Food 2
.... ....
And There's a second table I want to fill in with "Value" based on their type in the first table, so that the corresponding rows look like this:
Rent Food Movie Gas Clothing ... ( appear in specific order bc they are subcategories)
5
3
10
2
The title row is already there, so I was thinking there might be some kind of lookup method to do this? How do I do that?
your second table apperas to hold one value per row but it doesn't have a label. it does correlate to the original row number, is this by design or coincidence?
if this is by design then you can use those 2 columns, hide them if you like, get a unique list of categories by copying you r abels to a new colum, removing duplicates in the data tab, then paste special transpose in c1 to create colum headers.
so column a and b remain unchanged
row 1 contains header starting at column c
your data starts at c2
this is the formula
=Iferror(vlookup(C$1,$A2:$B2,2,false),"")
drag it down and to the right
you can copy paste special values when done to remove the formulas
for something with only a hundred or thousand cells this will be one of the easier options but i would not do this on large tables, for those i would use power query or VBA
Assuming your 1st table is in Sheet1 and 2nd table is in sheet2.. you may try to fill in Sheet2!A2
=IF(Sheet1!$A2=A$1,Sheet1!$B2,"")
and drag it all the way.. Hope you get how it works.. and what you need.
I'm trying to create an excel document with two sheets, the first one containing a list of fruit types, for example
ID Description
1 Apple
2 Orange
3 Pear
...
The second sheet would contain a reference to a row from the first sheet and some additional data.
For example
Fruit_ID Quantity Customer
1 12 Chris
3 7 Jenny
...
And when a user is adding a new row in the second sheet he would be presented with a drop down list of entries from the second sheet when setting the first column value.
The number of rows in the second sheet is dynamic ( user will be adding data into it).
How can I do this ?
Select the cells where you want to display dropdown.
Go to Data Tab > Data Validation
Enter the following criteria
Allow:List
Source: =OFFSET(Sheet1!$A$1,1,0,COUNT(Sheet1!$A$2:$A$1048576))
Change the sheet name accordingly and it will show drop-down based on the Sheet1, column 1.
Let me know if it works.
I have data in an excel spreadsheet. It is arranged as follows: 6 rows with 15 columns. Then a 7th row with 8 columns. Then 6 rows with 15 columns and a 7th row with 8 columns. This repeats down the spreadsheet. There are 441 'blocks' of this pattern.
There are two options that I have for this data.
Option 1: I would like it to be in a single column, so the values from the first row are now the first 15 values in column 1, then the values from the second row are now the next 15 values in column 1, and so on.
Option 2: I would like the values to be formatted in a grid that is 98 columns ad 441 rows. The data from the first 'block' would be the first row. the data from the second 'block' would be the second row.
Is there any way that this can be done?
Option 1 is possible with unpivoting. Assuming your data starts in A1, insert a new row at the top and a new column at the left and apply the steps detailed here. From the Table delete the left-hand two columns and filter the remaining column to delete blank rows.
For Option 2 consider OFFSET.
I have an issue that I've been scratching my head at; I've looked into the Index:Match lookup method, and V/HLookup, but I'm not sure these will help just yet. Here's what's happening:
I have two worksheets in excel-2007. One has a Customer ID column (which does and will have duplicate ID's in the instance that the customer did "x activity" more than one time in a month) and then the date that this happened in another column. The second sheet is for giving an overview of a specific day, IE what happened on 7-1-13.
The issue is that my raw data sheet is sorted via the first of the month descending, so 7-1,7-2,etc, and when I run the Vlookup, if a Customer ID has a record on 7-2 and on 7-15, the VLookup will pull data only from the 7-2 (first) row. Has anyone experienced this and found a workaround?
My current workaround would be to make either a new table for each day's data, or instead of using my VLookup of =Vlookup(A2, 'Data Sheet' A:D, 4, 0) to give the columns row numbers, like =Vlookup(A2, 'Data Sheet' A$1:D$30, 4, 0). This is a daily report, and that would be intense. Please help if you can!
(Another side note, I have one main sheet for the view, one data sheet where it's all collected, and then 30 sheets, one for each day of the month, this case being July). For each sheet, I've named them the day of the month, so I'm reflecting the data as such:
Sheets("7-1-13") has data from the 1st on it. The Data Sheet in it's entireity has data from 7-1-13 to 7-31-13. I need to reference ID's on the 1st to the data for the 1st and the 1st only.
I want to use something like this, but I'm having a hard time with it
=Vlookup(A2, 'Data Sheet', A:D (ONLY IF THE CREATE DATE OF THIS ITEM IS 7-1), 4,0)`
but of course it's not that easy :p
This may not give you your results in a format you like and still requires a bit of manual work, but without going the route of macros, I think this will get you one step closer. I thought of using an array formula to get all the IDs by a specific date.
Example:
A B
ID Date
1 5 7/1/2013
2 2 7/2/2013
3 5 7/3/2013
In this situation, I assume you want 5 from the first row to appear on your 7/1 sheet, 2 to appear on your 7/2 sheet, and 5 from the third row to appear on your 7/3 sheet
on your 7/1 sheet. you'll need to select the number of blank rows that matches your raw data (using the example above, you would be selecting A1:A3 on your 7/1 sheet). Once you have your cells selected, then enter the following formula in the formula bar and press Ctrl+Shift+Enter. This is what makes the formula an array formula.
=((Raw_DataSheet!B1:B3=DATE(2013,7,1))*1)*Raw_DataSheet!A1:A3
What this formula does is looks at all the dates in B1:B3 and finds the ones that equal 7/1/2013. Since you're using an array formula, this gives you the array {TRUE,FALSE,FALSE}. Multiply this by 1, and you get the array {1,0,0}. You now have an array that has a 1 for each row of B1:B3 that was equal to 7/1/2013. This array {1,0,0} is then multiplied by your Customer IDs {5,2,5}
5 * 1 = 5
2 * 0 = 0
5 * 0 = 0
So now your entire formula is equal to the array {5,0,0}. Since you selected A1:A3 on your 7/1 sheet, the values that should appear should be
A
ID
1 5
2 0
3 0
From here, you can always filter out the 0's and you'd just have a list of all the IDs that had the date of 7/1 from your Raw Data Sheet. You would also then replicate this for each of your sheets and just change the date in the formula...Yes, I know, way more complicated than you probably wanted but it's what I came up with!
