is there a way to accomplish edit as seen in the included picture without using a macro?
Number of cells in column C with each category can be equal or lesser than in column A.
When a number of cells with categories in column C is lesser then i want to add empty cells for all data columns. I would appreciate any tips.
Put in I2, and drag till K31 :
=IF(COUNTIF($H$2:$H2,$H2)<=COUNTIF($C:$C,$H2),INDEX(D:D,MATCH($H2,$C:$C,0)+COUNTIF($H$2:$H2,$H2)-1),"")
Idea/ref : use index match to load the values in source column, based on the count of "Catagories X" in column H. If it is more than the count of "Catagories X" in column C, display a blank.
Please share if it works/not. ( :

I am looking to find a way to fill a whole column with the same output, "Yes", based on the number of cells in the adjacent column.
For example, if there's data in A2:A10, I would like B2:B10 to be filled with "Yes". If more data is added to column A, I'd like column B to automatically update / spill the "Yes" into additional rows within B based on the number of entries added to column A.
I'm aware that I can do an =IF(ISBLANK()) statement for each row, but I am trying to reduce the number of formulas. I'd like to try and do this with a single formula within the top row of column B that spills down.
The value in column A can change, I'm only trying to check the number of non-blank values.
I'm using Excel / Office 365.
This is a generic solution for column A containing mixed datatypes:
=REPT("Yes",A2:INDEX(A:A,MAX(IFNA(MATCH(IF({0;1},"Ω",77^77),A:A),0)))<>"")
I'm setting up an excel file for the operators. They will scan the Barcode from the product and it will populate in one of the column of the excel sheet.
I have tried using LOOKUP formula in excel but it doesn't seem to be working right.
COL A : Data from Database
COL B : Data from Scanner
COL C: Row number
Find the value of Column B in Col A and populate the Row no. in Column C.
=LOOKUP(B5,A:A,ROW(A:A))
I have used this formula in every cell of the column C.
The row number don't populate accurately.
=MATCH(B5,A:A,0) should give you the rownumber. And if you wish to obtain the cell's address: =ADDRESS(MATCH(B5,A:A,0),1,4,1)
If you are using combined cells then you definiately want to use absolute ranges like =MATCH(B5,$A$5:$A$10,0)
Search B column in A column and get row back. You could use:
Note:
Do not forget to use IFNA in case of B does not included in A.
In my opinion there is no need to target whole range.
=IFNA(MATCH(B1,$A$1:$A$6,0)+ROW($A$1:$A$6)-1,"")
Results:
I am in need of a formula, which counts the sums of two rows for a whole column.
e.g.
I have data in column A and column B and would like to make a count of the sums for A1+B1, A2+B2, etc.. for around 1800 rows. If one of the columns is empty, it should not be included in the count.
This is to find out how many negatives I have in my column when adding A1 + B1, A2+ B2 and so on...
I try to explain it in the link to the picture.

Basically I could do it with an extra column but since I have 50+ customers I would have to add a column for each to make the diff, so I was hoping to express the Yellow column in a formula so I only have to adapt that instead of insert a calculation column for each column.
Thanks for any tips!
You could filter the rows based on some values to get all rows containing negative value if this is what you wish to achieve.
follow these steps:
Select The column that contains negative values.
click on the "Data" tab.
Click "Filter" or Cntrl+Shift+L.
Click the black arrow pointing down on top of the column you have selected.
Select "Number Filters"
Click "Less Than"
Type 0 (zero) and hit Enter.
you should have only the cells containing negative values displayed.
If you need to get the total rows containing positive values in a column, use this formula
=MIN(COUNTIF(A:A,">0")) where column is "A"
To get the total of negative cells in a row, you can use
=MIN(COUNTIF(A:A,"<0")) where column is "A"
I have a spreadsheet with multiple columns with a few thousand rows and I would like to find the cells that are common across all columns. Is there a function that I can use to check if a cell value exists in a set of cells/column?
To find out if a value exist in all columns but in any row you can put this equation in the next open column and drag down:
=AND(MATCH(A1,B:B,0),MATCH(A1,C:C,0))
This assumes you have data in column A, B & C and the equation is in column D. now you can sort on column D for unique values.
Depending on your data type you might get an error. If that is the case try this:
=AND(IFERROR(MATCH(A1,B:B,0),FALSE),IFERROR(MATCH(A1,C:C,0),FALSE))
I have a table with student IDs separated in groups. I need a handy way to count the total number of students in each group and populate it after the last row of each group (marked with ??)
Currently I just enter =COUNT() and then manually figure out the top and bottom borders of the range for each group. Not convenient at all.
I was thinking that a possible solution could be one of the following:
A some kind of pivot table permutation. I failed on this one.
Excel Data->Outline->Subtotals functions. Again, fail. It keeps creating new rows in my table.
A universal formula that can be pasted into each ?? cell. Not the most graceful solution, but still would do.
A macro. As a last remedy if nothing else works.
The following steps will calculate the subtotals while preserving the structuring and formatting of your worksheet.
Put this formula in cell C1 and copy the formula down the column:
=IF(NOT(ISERROR(SEARCH("Total",A1))),COUNTA(INDIRECT("B"&MATCH(LEFT(A1,LEN(A1)-7),A:A,0)+1&".B"&(MATCH(A1,A:A,0)+1))),IF(B1="","",B1))
Apply a conditional format to cell C1 with the formula rule =(MOD(ROW(C1),2)=0) and blue fill to match the shading on the other rows. Copy the format down the column using Paste Special Format.
Either hide column B, or copy the values in column C to column B using Paste Special Values and hide Column C. If you decide to copy the values to column B, you won't need to set the conditional formats.
Here is what the formula does:
First, check whether the formula's row is a Total row, by searching the cell in column A of the row for the word "Total," using the SEARCH function.
If the word "Total" is found:
Determine the range in the worksheet of the student IDs for the group for that total row:
a) Identify the rows in which the words "GroupX" and "GroupX Total" are found by using the MATCH function. With that, you know that the IDs for the group are in a range that starts at, say, row x and ends at row y.
b) With the starting and ending row numbers, construct the address range in which the IDs lie, which has to be the string "B" + (row x) + "." + "B" + (row y).
c) Turn the string into a range reference that can actually used in a formula using the INDIRECT function.
Count the number of students in the group using the COUNTA function and the range, and show that as the formula's result.
If the word "Total" is not found
Check whether the cell in column B is empty
a) If it is empty, show a blank as the formula's result
b) if it is not empty, it must be a student ID, so show the ID as the formula's result.
Add a column (I usually add it to the LEFT of the existing matrix) where you enter a formula from row 2 onwards that fills the blanks in the old column A. Then the old matrix including your new column can be used in a pivot.
So Insert a column left of your matrix, this is column A now. Put a header in Cell A1, for example "Group Name1"
Enter the following formula in cell B2 and extend it to the end:
=IF(B2="",A1,B2) This way your blanks will be filled.
Now apply a pivot on this matrix and there you are.
Maybe not the nicest looking solution, but its quick and works well.
If u have table like this
Students id Name of students group ........
then u can use countif/countifs formula
