Is there a difference when using a cell reference and column / row reference when pointing to a single cell? Or is there a better way? Sample table below.
I have been using column / row reference for faster checking of formulas, using Show Formulas, but I do not know if it has an impact to memory and processing times for very large files.
Sample table (A/B or C/D?):
R\C A B C D
1 25 18 13 21
2 14 19 22 17
4 =A1+A2 =B1+B2 =1:1+2:2 =1:1+2:2
6 =A4 =B4 =4:4 =4:4
Thanks.

I have the following Excel spreadsheet:
A B C D E F G H
1 Q1 Q2 Q3 Q4 Search criteria: 60 Asset 2
2 Asset 1 15 85 90 70 Asset 3
3 Asset 2 40 80 45 60 Asset 3
4 Asset 3 30 60 55 60 Asset 5
5 Asset 4 12 72 25 15
6 Asset 5 60 48 27 98
7
In Cells A1:E6 I have different assets with their performance from quarter Q1-Q4.
In Column H I list all assets that match the search criteria in Cell G1.
In this case the search criteria is 60 which can be found in the Cells A1:E6 for the Assets 2, 3 and 5.
For creating the list I use the formula from here:
=INDEX(A:A,SMALL(IF($B$2:$E$6=$G$1,ROW($B$2:$E$6)),ROW(1:1)))
All this works fine so far.
Now when I move the Cells A1:E6 in the sheet for example to D9:H14 the array formula keeps only working if it still refers to A:A and ROW(1:1) which might be a problem if the user decides to delete ROW(1:1). Therefore, I tried to modify the formula to:
=INDEX($D$9:$D$14,SMALL(IF($E$10:$H$14=$J$10,ROW($E$10:$H$14)),ROW($D$9:$H$9)))
However, with this modification I get #NUM! error.
Do you have any idea if it is possible to make the array formula independent from A:A and ROW(1:1) so it refers only to the Cells A1:E6 and automatically moves when the those cells are moved?
If you use excel 2013 or later then you can use following formula.
=IFERROR(INDEX($D$10:$D$14,AGGREGATE(15,6,ROW($1:$5)/($E$10:$H$14=$J$10),ROW(1:1))),"")
You can limit A:A to A1:A6 so that it would adjust as necessary when you move it. Your formula should thus be now
=INDEX(A1:A6,SMALL(IF($B$2:$E$6=$G$1,ROW($B$2:$E$6)),ROW(1:1)))
As for ROW(1:1), your top formula should always be ROW(1:1) and when you drag it down, then next formula should have ROW(2:2). When you move your top formula somewhere else and the ROW(1:1) changes to something like ROW(9:9) or anything, change it to ROW(1:1).
Please note that 'moving' your formula is different from 'dragging it down'.
EDIT:
So after you moved your data set, the top formula should now be:
=INDEX($D$9:$D$14,SMALL(IF($E$10:$H$14=$J$10,ROW($E$10:$H$14)),ROW(1:1)))
This is assuming that cell G1 (criteria) is also moved to J10.
I need help finding a way in excel to identify the max value from multiple columns and return the value in the adjacent column.
Using the table below as an example, let's say I want to simultaneously search columns A and C for the max value (89). Once the max value is identified, I would like excel to return the value in the adjacent column and cell (6) to column E. In reality, I need to find the max and adjacent value from eight columns.
A B C D E
1 65 8 36 15 6
2 24 17 89 6
3 11 20 58 13
4 42 5 29 11
I would greatly appreciate your help.
Thanks,
If the max number does not duplicate you can safely use this formula:
=INDEX($A:$D,AGGREGATE(15,6,ROW($A$1:$D$4)/((MOD(COLUMN(A1:D4),2)=1)*($A$1:$D$4=AGGREGATE(14,6,$A$1:$D$4/(MOD(COLUMN(A1:D4),2)=1),1))),1),AGGREGATE(15,6,COLUMN($A$1:$D$4)/((MOD(COLUMN(A1:D4),2)=1)*($A$1:$D$4=AGGREGATE(14,6,$A$1:$D$4/(MOD(COLUMN(A1:D4),2)=1),1))),1)+1)
I was wondering if there is a quick way to have Excel sum up chunks of a selected column based on where blanks appear in that column. For example, the column might look like:
10
12
15
11
2
3
10
13
14
14
13
1
9
8
6
and ideally each partial total would be placed where the first element being summed was previously. Can this be done without VBA?
Leave B1 empty, In B2 enter:
=IF(A2<>"","",SUM($A$1:A2)-SUM($B$1:B1))
and copy down............should look like:
Hi I have an excel sheet with two columns- A and B. Each column has similar data and B has more data than A. How can I spot data which are available in B but not present in A?
A 12 13 14 15 and
B 12 123 13 14 145 15 16
Use CountIf() or Vlookup(). Put in cell C2 this formula =countif(A:A,B2) and copy it down. You'll see 0 when they are unique.
I have a table excel with one column and X rows.
4 various informations
example:
row 1 2 3 4 = informations for 1
row 5 6 7 8 = information for 2
I would like to know how can I do to have these information by row instead of by column?
Example:
paul
madrid
14
victor
canada
23
emilie
paris
18
and I Would like:
paul Victor Emilie
Madrid Canada Paris
14 23 18
If you want change data only once, use Copy/Paste
Switch (transpose) columns and rows
Or if you want use formula
TRANSPOSE function
Or you can use the INDIRECT function instead. It's a bit tricky but it works :
On the same sheet where you have :
Paul
Madrid
23
Victor
Montréal
22
Aude
Copenhague
17
Valérie
Alger
28
Add something like (for example on columns B, C, D) :
1 2 3
4 5 6
7 8 9
10 11 12
etc.
It's easy to do with =X+3 formula and drag down formula.
Then, this matrix represent the position of each element in the list, you now just have to use INDIRECT in this way :
=INDIRECT("A" & B1)
A is the column where are your data
B1 is the position of the first element in the matrix
By draging this formula down and on the right, you will the matrix with the A's elements.
(Using example where source column in G2:G100 and target table in H2:J34.)
Type formula below in first cell of target table (H2):
=OFFSET($G$2;(ROW()-ROW($2:$2))*3+COLUMN()-COLUMN($H:$H);0)
Replacing $G$2 with first cell of source data, $2:$2 with first row of target table and $H:$H with first column of target table (mind the $).
Then just drag formula left and then bottom.
