I would like to create a formula that returns the top 5 longest running projects excluding those on Phase 3.
Project Name Days Phase
A B C
Project 1 38 1
Project 2 35 1
Project 3 40 2
Project 4 32 2
Project 5 41 2
Project 6 35 2
Project 7 42 3
Project 8 44 3
I tried adapting a formula that was posted here, but instead of ignoring all phase 3 projects, I get value of #N/A.
=INDEX($A$2:$A$9,MATCH(1,INDEX(($C$3:$C$9<3)* ($B$2:$B$9=LARGE($B$2:$B$9,ROWS(G$1:G1)))*(COUNTIF(G$1:G1,$A$3:$A$9)=0),),0),0)
This is what I get
G
#N/A
#N/A
Project 5
Project 3
Project 1
If you put the condition ($C$3:$C$9<3) inside the LARGE-function and adapt all ranges to same length, then you should get the desired result.
The corrected formula should look like this: CTRL+SHIFT+ENTER ARRAY-FORMULA
=INDEX($A$2:$A$9,MATCH(1,INDEX( ($B$2:$B$9=LARGE(($C$2:$C$9<3)*($B$2:$B$9),ROWS(G$1:G1)))*(COUNTIF(G$1:G1,$A$2:$A$9)=0),),0),0)
Apply to cell G2.
EDIT
If you want the formula changable between minimum and maximum values, you have to put the condition into an IF statement. This filters the 0-results of the condition which would interfere with SMALL.
CTRL+SHIFT+ENTER ARRAY-FORMULA
=INDEX($A$2:$A$9,MATCH(1,INDEX( ($B$2:$B$9=SMALL(IF($C$2:$C$9<3,$B$2:$B$9),ROWS(G$1:G1)))*(COUNTIF(G$1:G1,$A$2:$A$9)=0),),0),0)
In this formula u can put in LARGE or SMALL and get the desired results.

I have a list of part numbers that are used in 4 different top level assemblies. The parts can be used in 1 to 4 of the top level assemblies. I'm trying to write a formula that will count how many unique top level assemblies a part number occurs in. I had previously written a formula that worked, but it uses UNIQUE and FILTER, and my coworkers don't have Excel 365, so those formulas aren't supported for them. I've been trying to come up with a workaround and would really appreciate any help :)
I have an example (I can't provide any real data) section of our spreadsheet and an image of the formula I had that was working

=SUM(--(LEN(UNIQUE(FILTER(A:A, C:C=C2, "")))>0))
Picture of the excel sheet
Picture of working formula
Use the following formula in row 2: =SUMPRODUCT(--(FREQUENCY(IF($B$2:$B$20=$B2,$A$2:$A$20),$A$2:$A$20)>0))
*I think it doesn't require ctrl+shift-enter in older Excel versions, since SUMPRODUCT is an array formula by default.
The formula checks the frequency of values in column A where column B matches the value in the current row. It returns the count per unique value meeting the condition. Wrapping it in -- & >0 returns 1 for each unique value. SUMPRODUCT sums them.
Edit:
I realized that the top level assembly values are actual text, not numeric values. In that case (since it's all numeric values stored as text) you can use this workaround:
=SUMPRODUCT(--(FREQUENCY(IF($B$2:$B$20=$B2,--($A$2:$A$20)),--($A$2:$A$20))>0))
It converts the text to numbers.
Sidenotes to this workaround:
If any value would contain a character other than numeric it will not get counted.
If you have both values like 02554 and 2554 they'll both get converted to 2554 and counted likewise.
Edit 2:
For text use the following:
=SUMPRODUCT(IF($B$2:$B$20=$B2, 1/(COUNTIFS($B$2:$B$20, $B2, $A$2:$A$20, $A$2:$A$20)), 0))
End-goal: A column with the subtotals of groups (defined in the below table as all foods listed above Zucchini, incl Zucchini).
Current attempt: create a column to define groups using COUNTIF('count all 'zucchini' thus far'). Then use SUMIF to get the total cost for the current group.
Problem: I don't know how to do this without the COUNTIF column (since SUMIF needs range C:C to be resolved first). I'd like to have it in a single formula. I looked into array formulas but not sure if/how to apply that here.
FOOD COST COUNTIF(A2:A$2;"Zucchini") SUMIF(C:C;C2;B:B)
Apple 3 0 12
Pecan 7 0 12
Zucchini 2 0 12
Apple 4 1 23
Olive 8 1 23
Pecan 6 1 23
Zucchini 5 1 23
Apple 4 2 16
Olive 9 2 16
Zucchini 3 2 16
Any ideas on how to solve either the current problem or the end-goal problem? Thanks!
Put this in C2 and copy down:
=IF(A2="Zucchini",SUM($B$1:B2)-SUM($C$1:C1),"")
It basically sums everything to the row and subtracts what is already accounted for.
Hi everyone I have an excel question on how to rank but based first on a a ranking but then next on a second priority of a group. The formula is written in column 'Final_Rank' and I just hid a bunch of rows to show the clear example. Within the column Rank is just a normal rank function. I want the priority to be within Rank first, but then to add the next rank to the next item of the same group*. So if you look at Group HYP it will supersede ranked (3 and 4) and then 5 would be given to the next newest group.
I hope this is a clear explanation, thanks.
Group Rank Final_Rank_Manual
TAM 1 1
HYP 2 2
GAB 3 5
HYO 4 8
ALO 5 9
HYP 7 3
ACO 8 12
IBU 9 13
ACO 11 14
ALO 18 10
GAB 44 6
IBU 53 15
IBU 123 16
GAB 167 7
HYP 199 4
You can do this with an extra helper column. Assuming your table currently occupies columns A-C, with one header row, put the following in C2:
=SMALL(IF($A$2:$A$6=A2,$B$2:$B$6,9999999999),1)+(B2*0.000000001)
You'll need to enter this as an array formula by using Ctrl+Shift+Enter↵. Copy it down throughout the whole column. This gives you the group's ranking, and it adds a tiny decimal indicating the individual values position within each group. (e.g. the 3rd "HYP" value is converted to something like 2.0000000199, because out of all the available values, the second lowest belongs to "HYP", and this specific "HYP" value is 199).
Next, enter the following in D2 and copy it down throughout the column:
=RANK(C2,$C$2:$C$6,1)
This will give you the "Final" rankings. There won't be any ties because of the tiny decimals we added in the previous formula. The results end up looking just like your sample.
Am new to Excel, please help me with this:
A B
2 9 =IF(A2:A6>=7,"1","0")
3 4
4 7
5 4
6 5
For B2 the formula works perfectly fine but in B3 it selects from A3:A6.
I know the concept of Absolute referencing. But here in this example it should basically work without any errors, right?
A B c
2 9 1 =Sum(A2:B2)
3 4 2
4 7 33
5 4 3
6 5 22
The above example works fine. What is the difference between two?
If you want the A2:A6 range to float down as you copy the formula to other rows, use:
=IF(MAX(A2:A6)>=7, 1, 0)
However, if you want row 6 locked as the finite terminator of the range then lock it as absolute with a $ like this,
=IF(MAX(A2:A$6)>=7, 1, 0)
Hi and thanks for any help with this in advance
Below is a hypothetical data set; abundance = count data; mud% = the mud content in which the animals were found; mud bin = bins i've made up depending on the mud%; and UQ = upper quartile of the abundance data from its corresponding mud bin (i.e. the upper quartile for the abundance data in mud bin 1 is 17.25 etc).
Problem:
In excel, for abundance data in each of the four mud bins, I'm wanting to extract any values in the abundance column that are >= the upper quartile value for that particular mud bin and place these in a new column on the same sheet (with no gaps between rows from values that didn't meet the criteria) along with their corresponding mud% value in the neighboring cell. I've added the new columns to the below sheet to give you an idea of what I'm after.
abundance | mud% | mud bin | UQ | | New column | Mud% |
18 10.9 1 18 10.9(mud bid 1)
15 6.5 1 44 38.9(mud bin 1)
6 13.4 1 45 38 (mud bin 2)
13 42.1 1 37 37.8(mud bin 2)
15 36.4 1 etc
44 38.9 1 17.25 etc
22 46 2
30 36.4 2
45 38 2
29 35.3 2
37 37.8 2
29 41.8 2 35.25
11 44.4 3
17 47.8 3
21 40.7 3
15 13.9 3
35 13.9 3
14 13.9 3
15 13.9 3 19
19 12 4
14 12 4
10 12 4
12 12 4
14 12 4
13 12 4
45 9.525 4
66 9.525 4
78 9.525 4 45
The reality is I have a rather large dataset containing abundance data for a number of species, all on the same excel sheet and would greatly appreciate any insight into how I might achieve this in the most efficient manor.
For starters, to make this explanation simpler, I will assume that the last row of data is in row 100.
Populate Upper Quartile values for all line items
First you'll need to use the Quartile formula; however, since you want to find the upper quartile within a bin, you'll have to use an array formula. Put this formula in your UQ column (place in cell D2 and drag down). When entering the formula Be sure to press Ctrl+Shift before pressing Enter
=QUARTILE(IF($C$2:$C$100=C2,$A$2:$A$100,""),3)
The first part of this formula, $C$2:$C$100=C2 is your condition. Everywhere this condition is met, you will get the corresponding value in $A$2:$A$100; otherwise, you'll get a blank value. This will give you an array of abundance values that matches the indicated mudbin, C2. now that you have your subset of data, the quartile function will give you the value in the 3rd quartile (17.25 for mudbin 1, which will be placed next to every row that has a mudbin of 1).
Now that we have all the quartiles, we can get all the abundance values that are greater than the UQ for that mudbin. This is done in two parts
Get abundance values greater than mudbin UQ
First, you need to select one column of cells that has the same number of rows as your data (for example, select cells F2:F100)
Enter the following formula into the formula bar (while F2:F100 are highlighted) and press Ctrl+Shift, then enter
=IF($A$2:$A$100>$D$2:$D$100,$A$2:$A$100,"")
Similar to the IF statement used before, this formula finds all the abundance values that are greater than their corresponding UQ value. Now column F will have an abundance number where it is greater than it's UQ value, and a blank where it is not. Now onto the final step.
Populate abundance values that are greater than the UQ value, without the blanks
Select G2:G100 (your "New Column" in your sample data)
Enter the following formula into the formula bar (while G2:G100 are highlighted) and press Ctrl+Shift, then enter
=INDEX(F2:F100,SMALL(IF(F2:F100<>"",ROW(F2:F100)-1),ROW()-ROW($F$1)))
Looking at the IF statement again, this will find every value in F2:F100 that is not blank, but instead of grabbing the values, we'll keep track of the row number of that non blank value (done by ROW(F2:F100)-1
). Now that we have the row numbers of all the non blank values, we can grab the non-blank values in order and populate them in G2:G100. ROW()-ROW($F$1) is a counter, and SMALL will use the counter to determine the nth smallest number to return. Once we have our row number of the non blank value, INDEX returns that value
Finally, to populate the Mud%, you'll need to use the row number of the non blank values to get the mud% and the mud bin (You have the formula already to get the row number of the non blank value).
It's not a simple answer, but at least you won't have to use VBA.
