I have been working for several days on this and have researched everything looking for this answer. I'd appreciate any help you can give.
In Excel I am searching a string of text in column A:
Bought 1 HD Sep 3 2021 325.0 Call # 2.75
I am detecting the first word (in this case "Bought") and detecting the last word before "#" symbol (in this case "Call").
I am then detecting the price following the "#" symbol (in this case "2.75"). This number will go into column B (header "Open") or column C (header "Close") depending on the combination of words found:
Sold/Put=Close
Sold/Call=Open
Bought/Put=Open
Bought/Call=Close
Sold (by itself)=Open
Sold (by itself)=Close.
Bought 1 HD Sep 3 2021 325.0 Call # 2.75
The combination found in the above string is: "Bought Call". Therefore the number at the end ("2.75"), goes into "Open" column.
Here's another example:
Sold 4 AI Sep 17 2021 50.0 Put # 1.5
The combination found in the above string is: "Sold Put". Therefore the number at the end ("1.5") goes into "Close" column.
I am currently using this formula to determine if the string contains "Sold" and "Call" and get the desired number and it does work:
=IF(AND(
ISNUMBER(SEARCH({"Sold","Call"},A10))),
TRIM(MID(A10,SEARCH("#",A10)+LEN("#"),255))," ")
But, I don't know how to search for all the other possible combinations.
The point behind this is to be able to paste the transaction from the broker and have most of the entry process automated. I'm sure many will benefit from this as I've not found anything like this.
I'd appreciate any help and if possible, an explanation of the formula so I can better learn.
Thanks!
I think you have the right idea, but would just extend the IF statement.
Something like the below might work for you:
=IF(ISNUMBER(SEARCH("Call", $A1)),
IF(ISNUMBER(SEARCH({"Bought","Sold"}, $A1)),
NUMBERVALUE(RIGHT($A1, LEN($A1)-SEARCH("#", $A1))),""),
IF(ISNUMBER(SEARCH({"!!!","!!!","Bought","Sold"}, $A1)),
NUMBERVALUE(RIGHT($A1, LEN($A1)-SEARCH("#", $A1))),""))
Just enter in column B and drag down; columns B through E should fill as needed.
For example:
Note that the search for "!!!" is just random characters, it can be anything that you don't think has a good chance of appearing in the string.

(requires Office 365 compatible version Excel)
Main lookup
=LET(fn_1,MATCH("*"&$H$7:$H$12&"*",B4,0),fn_2,MATCH("*"&$I$7:$I$12&"*",B4,0),IFERROR(INDEX($J$7:$J$12,MATCH(1,IF($I$7:$I$12="",fn_1*ISNUMBER(fn_2),fn_1*fn_2),0)),))
EDIT:
Other Excel versions:
=IFERROR(INDEX($J$7:$J$12,MATCH(1,IF($I$7:$I$12="",MATCH("*"&$H$7:$H$12&"*",B4,0)*ISNUMBER(MATCH("*"&$I$7:$I$12&"*",B4,0)),MATCH("*"&$H$7:$H$12&"*",B4,0)*MATCH("*"&$I$7:$I$12&"*",B4,0)),0)),)
(all that falls away is the 'Let' formula, replacing fn_1 and fn_2 with respective functions in index formula within the let making first equation somewhat longer, but otherwise identical)
Example applications
Have provided 2 examples of how one might customize to insert numeric in one of the columns (the key part to this question is really how to do lookup in first instance, from thereon it's a matter of finetuning/taking appropriate action)...
Assuming calls/buys are "long" position and strike price go in first col (here, D), and puts/sales are "short" position with strike price going in 2nd col (here, E):
Long - insert strike price col D
=IF(LET(fn_1,MATCH("*"&$H$7:$H$12&"*",B4,0),fn_2,MATCH("*"&$I$7:$I$12&"*",B4,0),IFERROR(INDEX($K$7:$K$12,MATCH(1,IF($I$7:$I$12="",fn_1*ISNUMBER(fn_2),fn_1*fn_2),0)),))=1,MID(SUBSTITUTE(B4," ",""),SEARCH("#",SUBSTITUTE(B4," ",""))+1,LEN(SUBSTITUTE(B4," ",""))),"")
EDIT
Other Excel versions:
=IF(IFERROR(INDEX($K$7:$K$12,MATCH(1,IF($I$7:$I$12="",MATCH("*"&$H$7:$H$12&"*",B4,0)*ISNUMBER(MATCH("*"&$I$7:$I$12&"*",B4,0)),MATCH("*"&$H$7:$H$12&"*",B4,0)*MATCH("*"&$I$7:$I$12&"*",B4,0)),0)),)=1,MID(SUBSTITUTE(B4," ",""),SEARCH("#",SUBSTITUTE(B4," ",""))+1,LEN(SUBSTITUTE(B4," ",""))),"")
Short - insert strike price col E
=IF(LET(fn_1,MATCH("*"&$H$7:$H$12&"*",B4,0),fn_2,MATCH("*"&$I$7:$I$12&"*",B4,0),IFERROR(INDEX($K$7:$K$12,MATCH(1,IF($I$7:$I$12="",fn_1*ISNUMBER(fn_2),fn_1*fn_2),0)),))=2,MID(SUBSTITUTE(B4," ",""),SEARCH("#",SUBSTITUTE(B4," ",""))+1,LEN(SUBSTITUTE(B4," ",""))),"")
EDIT
Other Excel versions:
Follow same routine in previous Edits (remove Let, replace fn_1 & fn_2 with respective formulae...)
Note similarity in all 3 equations above: 2nd and 3rd contain 1st (effectively they just wrap a big old 'if' statement around 1st, use lookup_2 col (here, col K), and use mid/search to extract rate after the hashtag.
Assumes you don't have other hashtags in the sentence..
Customize as required.
In my Excel file, I have data split up over different tables for different values of parameter X.
I have tables for parameter X for values 0.1, 0.5, 1, 5 and 10. Each table has a parameter Y at the far left that I want to able to search for with a few data cells right of it. Like so:
X = 0.1
Y
Data_0
Data_1
Data_2
1
0.071251
0.681281
0.238509
2
0.283393
0.509497
0.397196
3
0.678296
0.789879
0.439004
4
0.788525
0.363215
0.248953
etc.
Now I want to find Data_0, Data_1 and Data_2 for a given X and Y value (in two separate cells).
My thought was naming the tables X0.1 X0.5 etc. and when defining the matrix for the lookup function use some syntax that would change the table it searches in. With three of these functions in adjacent cells, I would obtain the three values desired.
Is that possible, or is there some other method that would give me the result I want?
Thanks in advance
On the question what would be my desired result from this data:
I would like A1 to give the value for the X I'm searching for (so 0.1 in this case)
A2 would be the value of Y (let's pick 3)
then I want C1:E1 to give the values 0.678... 0.789... 0.439...
Now from usmanhaq, I think it should be something like:
=vlookup(A2,concatenate("X",A1),2)
=vlookup(A2,concatenate("X",A1),3)
=vlookup(A2,concatenate("X",A1),4)
for the three cells.
This exact formulation doesn't work and I can't find the formulation that does work.
I hope I can get some assistance as to which formula to use. In the three rows below, I am trying to pull values from the right.
First line you can see that we have 10x50 meaning 10 packages have 50 items each. So I need to extract values Before and After X
It could be two cells, where I have values Before X and then next cell values After X. Sometimes the X is located a few spaces before the last word. I'm wondering if any kind soul can help please?
DEXTROSE 50% 2G/ML 10X50 LSSYR
LEVETIRACETAM INJ USP 500MG SSOL 25X5
DOBUTAMINE 100 INJ 1X5 ML AMP SAM (PF)
This should work for you. Assumes the measurement is at the end, or near the end and looks for the last occurrence of "x". So if there is another x after this measurement, then it will not work. Also your example had only numbers between 1 and 99 (aka no more than two digits). So this formula will not work if the measurement is longer than 5 characters. aaXbb is OK. aaaXbb is not OK.
=TRIM(RIGHT(LEFT(A1,SEARCH("^^",SUBSTITUTE(A1,"x","^^",LEN(A1)-LEN(SUBSTITUTE(A1,"x",""))))+2),5))
I have established a datasheet with all 4th grade students. This data includes name, race, economically challenged, and their latest state assessment scores.
Column D is race - N if White / Y if other than White
Column E is economic situation of child - if in trouble Y / otherwise N
Column G is their test score.
Here is what I cannot get to work...
If any student scores less than a 70, we need the text to be RED (which I can do easily).
However, I need to figure out a way to recognize this...
If D is = Y, AND the grade is less than 70... I need to fill the cell with red and have white text. Any student that is D = N and still less than 70... text should remain red.
That is one problem. I need a separate rule to recognize when D = Y and E = Y AND score is less than 70... I need to fill that cell with black.
Our goal is to recognize quickly the deficiencies in our non-White and very low income students.
Is there anyone who may be able to help?
You can do this with conditional formatting.
Under conditional formating go to Manage Rules. You are going to add three rules. In the end it will look like this:
The formulas are:
=AND($D2 = "Y",$E2 = "Y",$G2 <70)
=AND($D2 = "Y",$G2 <70)
=$G2 <70
Add the three rules with the corresponding formats. Then make sure they are in the order that is shown in the picture. Also make sure that the "Applies to" cover the entire needed range.
I am attempting to translate my existing Matlab code into Numbers (basically Excel). In Matlab, I have the following code:
clear all; clc;
n = 30
x = 1:(n-1)
T = 295;
D = T./(n-x)
E = T/n
for i=1:(n-2)
C(i) = D(i+1) - D(i)
end
hold on
plot(x(1:end-1), C, 'rx')
plot(x, D, 'bx')
I believe everything has been solved by your formulas, there are parts of them that I don't understand otherwise I would try to figure the rest out myself. Attached is the result (Also you might like to know that the formulas you gave work and are recognized in Numbers). Im trying to figure out why (x) begins at 2 as I feel as though it should start at 1?
Also it is clear that the realistic results for the formulas only exist under certain conditions i.e. column E > 0. That being the case, what would be the easiest way to chart data with a filter so that only certain data is charted?
(Using Excel...)
Suppose you put your input values T & n in A1 & B1 respectively.
You could generate x, D & C In columns C,D & E with:
C1: =IF(ROW()<$A$1,ROW(),"")
D1: =IF(LEN(C1)>0,$A$2/($A$1-C1),"")
E1: =IF(LEN(D2)>0,D2-D1,"")
You could then pull all 3 columns down as far as you need to generate the full length of your vectors. If you then want to chart these, simply use these columns as inputs.
