Excel find the median of last 3 number? - excel

For example, in the cell B3 : =MEDIAN(A1:A3), and that formule works all cells from B3 to Bend, but not work for B1 and B2, I tried write =IFERROR(MEDIAN(A-1,A1),(MEDIAN(A$1,A1)) but the excel not allow nagetive number.
And also why =MEDIAN("A"&"1:A3") not work? How can I split A and 3 ?

The formula below would work in B3, B2 and B1 as well as all cell below B3.
=MEDIAN(INDIRECT(ADDRESS(MAX(ROW()-2,1),1)&":"&ADDRESS(ROW(),1)))
It splits the "A from the 3", as you say, with the ADDRESS function and then converts the result of that to a cell reference using INDIRECT.

Can't subtract text of one cell from another

Is it possible to subtract text of a cell from another text of different cell? I meant to subtract text in B1 from text in A1 using excel formula.
Cell A1 contains:
FRIENDSWOOD CITY N 77546-4005
Cell B1 contains:
77546-4005
I expect the result in C1 which can be obtained subtracting A1-B1 using formula:
FRIENDSWOOD CITY N
I tried like the below one but it gives me value error:
=A1-(RIGHT(A1,LEN(A1)-FIND(" ",A1)))
Try using this formula:
=REPLACE(A1,FIND(B1,A1),LEN(B1),"")
Here's my result:
You could also try this simple formula,
=SUBSTITUTE(A1,B1,"")

How to change cell value according to sum

I want to change cell value according to my sum means if i give total 2000 in "A5" than value change automatic in cell range A1 to A4.
It's confusing to answer your question without knowing more.
Assuming you are working in Excel, if you have the following numbers
A1 A2 A3 A4 A5
5 6 7 8 1000
you can set the following formula for A1, A2, etc.
=IF($A$5=2000,*value that you want cells to read, "")
Essentially if the condition on cell A5 is met, in this case reaching 2000, you will change the value of cell A1 - A4 to a specified amount. If it doesn't reach 2000, you will keep the original value.
You could have formulas in A1 to A4 as percentages of A5,
for example,
A1: =0.1*A5
A2: =0.2*A5
A3: =0.3*A5
A4: =0.4*A5

Excel If 2 cells match third returns specific text

This seems like a simple request but I am struggling to find a simple answer.
I have 3 cells, let’s call them A1, B1, C1. I would like a formula to address the following:
If the numerical values in A1 and B1 match then C1 needs to show the text “complete”
If the numbers in A1 and B1 do not match then C1 to show text “Partial”
If there is nothing in A1 and B1 then C1 to show text “Incomplete”.
I hope this is a simple enough explanation. Help appreciated.
If you use A1 B1 C1 cell,
C1 function is
=IF(AND(A1="",B1=""),"Incomplete",IF(A1=B1,"complete","Partial"))
=IF(A1&B1="","incomplete",IF(A1=B1,"complete","partial"))
in the other cell will do it
May be you can try this in cell C1,
=IF(A1<>B1,"Partial",IF(A1="","InComplete","Complete"))

In a spreadsheet, I want to copy cells with a negative value onto another cell where there is a floor for negative values

In spreadsheet cell B1, the value is -1200.
I want cell B2 to copy the value of B1 and limit (validate?) it to no less than -800.
I'm using google docs but can also use excel if those functions are not available in google docs.
Edit:
If B1 has the value of 2000, B2 should have the value of 2000.
If B1 has the value of -2000, B2 should have the value of -800
Excel & Google Spreadsheets
=Max(B1,-800)
Excel formula would be pretty easy, probably similar in Google Spreadsheets:
In B2, put this formula:
=If(B1<-800,-800,B1)
This is saying:
If the value in B1 is less than -800, then put the value "-800". Otherwise, use the value from B1. This effectively puts a "floor" or a lower bound on the formula.
You don't need any maths here. I'm using Excel but I think it is pretty similar in Google.
Suppose that B3 holds floor, no constants in formulae :-)
B2 => =if( b1 > $b$3; b1; $b$3)
b3 position is fixed so you can copy the expression

copying the data from formulated column in Excell?

Hi I have three columns in MS Excell. The columns are A1,B1,C1. C1 is calculated automatically based on formula. The formula defined for C1 is(=A1+B1). I mean C1 is the sum of A1 and B1. Now the problem is I wanted to copy the value of C1 to A1 and want to make the B1 column filled with 0.
The moment i try to copy C1 and paste it into A1 the A1 is displaying as "#href" something like this. so how do i copy the value of C1(without Formula) and then paste it to A1?
When you copy from C1 in A1 Excel is trying to insert in A1 the same formula contained in C1 with your relative addresses adapted to the new position, so the new formula in A1 should sum the two cells at the left of A1, but there are not cells at the left of A1, so the #href error is telling you that.
To do what you want you should paste it like "value". You find that option in the Paste command
