I have been working on a price list for one of our salespersons.
Every time there is an "X" in the file, it indicates that the index prices of our raw materials have increased/decreased more than +/- 50 EUR/ton compared to our current prices.
As you can see on the column '01-04-2023' (above the marked field), there is an "X", which in this case indicates that the index price has changed more than +/- 50 EUR/ton (1,983 - 1,910 = 73 EUR/ton) compared to the current price, so it meets the criterion for displaying the "X"-symbol. Because the index price is now 1,910 EUR/ton (which you can see in the yellow and marked field), this should be the 'new price' in the '01-07-2023'-column to the right (see picture).
... So my question is. How do I get the '01-07-2023'-column to read from right to left and find the first case, where there is an "X" in the 'Price adjustment?'-row. The correct formula should return 1,910 EUR in the 'new price'-row / '01-07-2023'-column.
So far, I have used the following formula: HLOOKUP("X";$G$12:L14;3;TRUE), and it is actually working in all the columns before the '01-07-2023'-column.
Is there anyone who can help me find a proper solution?
Thanks in advance.
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.

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$12="",fn_1*ISNUMBER(fn_2),fn_1*fn_2),0)),))=2,MID(SUBSTITUTE(B4," ",""),SEARCH("#",SUBSTITUTE(B4," ",""))+1,LEN(SUBSTITUTE(B4," ",""))),"")
EDIT
Other Excel versions:
Follow same routine in previous Edits (remove Let, replace fn_1 & fn_2 with respective formulae...)
Note similarity in all 3 equations above: 2nd and 3rd contain 1st (effectively they just wrap a big old 'if' statement around 1st, use lookup_2 col (here, col K), and use mid/search to extract rate after the hashtag.
Assumes you don't have other hashtags in the sentence..
Customize as required.
I am writing a series of queries to my workbook's data model to retrieve the number of documents by Category_Name which are greater than a certain numbers of days old (e.g. >=650).
Currently this formula (entered in celll C3) returns the correct number for a single Days Old value (=3).
=CUBEVALUE("ThisWorkbookDataModel",
"[Measures].[Count of Docs]",
"[EDD_Report].[Category_Name].&["&$B2&"]",
"[EDD_Report_10-01-18].[Days Old].[34]")
How do I return the number of documents for Days Old values >=650?
The worksheet looks like:
A B C
1 Date PL Count of Docs
2 10/1/2018 ALD 3
3 ...
UPDATE: As suggested in #ama 's answer below, the expression in step B did not work.
However, I created a subset of the Days Old values using
=CUBESET("ThisWorkbookDataModel",
"{[EDD_Report_10-01-18].[Days Old].[all].[650]:[EDD_Report_10-01-18].[Days Old].[All].[3647]}")
The cell containing this cubeset is referenced as the third Member_expression of the original CUBEVALUE formula. The limitation is now that the values for the beginning and end must be members of the Days Old set.
This is limiting, in that, I was hoping for a more general test for >=650 and there is no way to guarantee that specific values of Days Old will be in the query.
First time I hear about CUBE, so you got me curious and I did some digging. Definitely not an expert, but here is what I found:
MDX language should allow you to provide value ranges in the form of {[Table].[Field].[All].[LowerBound]:[Table].[Field].[All].[UpperBound]}.
A. Get the total number of entries:
D3 =CUBEVALUE("ThisWorkbookDataModel",
"[Measures].[Count of Docs]",
"[EDD_Report].[Category_Name].&["&$B2&"]"),
"{[EDD_Report_10-01-18].[Days Old].[All]")
B. Get the number of entries less than 650:
E3 =CUBEVALUE("ThisWorkbookDataModel",
"[Measures].[Count of Docs]",
"[EDD_Report].[Category_Name].&["&$B2&"]"),
"{[EDD_Report_10-01-18].[Days Old].[All].[0]:[EDD_Report_10-01-18].[Days Old].[All].[649]}")
Note I found something about using .[All].[650].lag(1)} but I think for it to work properly your data might need to be sorted?
C. Substract
C3 =D3-E3
Alternatively, go for the quick and dirty:
=CUBEVALUE("ThisWorkbookDataModel",
"[Measures].[Count of Docs]",
"[EDD_Report].[Category_Name].&["&$B2&"]"),
"{[EDD_Report_10-01-18].[Days Old].[All].[650]:[EDD_Report_10-01-18].[Days Old].[All].[99999]}")
Hope this helps and do let me know, I am still curious!
In our warehouse we have even/odd system of locations.
here is the example:
1-101-1
1-103-1
1-105-1
....
1-285-1
and
2-102-1
2-104-1
2-116-1
2-240-1
....
2-286-1
and have levels too
1-101-2
1-101-3
1-101-4
there have a lot of data, and I need sort like this:
example numbers:
1-101-1
2-130-1
1-131-1
1-150-2
2-132-3
3-229-5
4-262-1
4-286-5
7-267-1
5-239-1
6-270-1
7-267-3
I need sort like this:
1-101-1
2-130-1
1-131-1
2-132-3
4-286-5
4-262-1
3-229-5
5-239-1
6-270-1
7-267-1
7-267-1
point is first two numbers(1-101-1;2-102-1) goes from smallest to biggest, next two(3-285-1;4-286) goes from biggest to smallest and
5 - 6 goes again from smallest to biggest and with that system to the end
second thing for sort is middle number, that number will goes as first from smallest to biggest, then from biggest to smallest, and last number is level, that is same as level 1 but must be sorted as level one, or be near level 1 if there is 7-267-1 and 7-267-3
is there any solution? thanks
edit:
here is image for easier understanding because it is hard to explain
Thanks all for answers, especially Daniel who are an expert in Excel and understand what I need.
I mean there is not solution for sort like that without VBA, but Daniel show me that i was wrong. Thanks again.
That is what i need, but there are some errors, if you can help me with that
this is other example with other locations:
this is unsorted locations with formulas you give me
and this is sorted, but with bad order:
bad sort
and here is with errors:
errors
we have 120 rows, and numbers bigger then 99 display error, and number 22-250-1 goes in -25 in second row
I try formula with numbers you enter in this example, and i got same good sort as you, but after entering other places, there is some bad sort.
Welcome to StackOverflow!
I think I understand what is being requested. It's a bit difficult to explain but I'll give it a try.
The primary sorting is to be as follows:
If first digit is either 3 or 4, then it should be in descending order else ascending.
If the middle 3-digits are from a 3 or 4 numbered sequence (see #1 above), then the middle pair should be in descending order.
All sequences should be in ascending based on their final digit.
My solution breaks the sequence into distinct columns:
For example, create three columns: First, Second, Third.
Formula for First:
=INT(LEFT(A2, 1))
Formula for Second:
=INT(RIGHT(LEFT(A2,5), 3))
Formula for Third:
=INT(RIGHT(A2,1))
Next, we assign values for sorting these three fields:
Create a column labeled First_Sort_Pair:
=IF(OR(B2=1,B2=2),1,
IF(B2=3,3,
IF(B2=4,2,
IF(OR(B2=5,B2=6),4,
IF(OR(B2=7,B2=8),5,6)))))
Create a column labeled First_Sort:
=IF(OR(B2=3, B2=4), 2, 1)
Create a column labeled Second_Sort:
=IF(E2=4, 2, IF(E2=3, 3, 1))
Create a column labeled Sort_3_4:
=IF(OR(B2=3,B2=4),RANK(C2,C:C,0),)
You can now begin sorting:
[
Result:
You will now have your data sorted as intended:
A B
1 Pilot1
3 Pilot2
4 Pilot3
6 Pilot4
15 Pilot5
10 Pilot6
3 Pilot7
8 Pilot8
15 Pilot9
What is the excel formula for looking up the highest value(s) in column A and returning the Pilot(s) name(s).
I am using right now:
=MAX(A1:A9) to return the max number cuz I need that info too.
And
=VLOOKUP(MAX(A1:A9), A1:B9, 2, FALSE)
and this give me the answer if there is on max or the first it comes to for multiple maxes.
So I would get with this:
15
Pilot5
It does not give me
15
15
Pilot5
Pilot9
I want the results to show:
15 - for the max # of flights done
Pilot5
Pilot9 - for the names of the pilots that have the max flight count
So I noted above a more elegant way to do this in Google Sheets. And there are some very obscure ways out there, but here is something simple. The downside is it does show some extra information. Let us say your data is in A1:B9 and in A10 you have =MAX(A1:A9) [this is not strictly needed, but like you said, you want it anyway -- and it makes the formula a little less ugly]
Then in C1 put the formula =if(A1=A$10,B1,"") which will be blank if the pilot is not the max and have the pilot name otherwise. Drag that formula down through C9. Now in C10 (or wherever) put =TEXTJOIN(", ",true,C1:C9)
which will put together your pilot(s) separated by comma and space, and with blank entries omitted.
