I would like to take the geomean of a column where values may be less than 1. I would like to add one to each cell before calculating geomean, and I do not want to include hidden rows in my calculation.
So far I have been using =POWER(AGGREGATE(6,5,O6:O22),1/AGGREGATE(2,5,O6:O22)) because this allows me to ignore hidden rows. However, this is mathematically incorrect when the value in a given cell in O6:O22 is less than 1. I want to bias the values up by 1, do the calculation, then unbias the results at the end. In effect, something like =POWER(AGGREGATE(6,5,O6:O22 + 1),1/AGGREGATE(2,5,O6:O22 + 1)) - 1
I know that array formulas can do things like this, but I haven't found an example that works yet. The above is not the syntactically correct, despite examples I have found suggesting otherwise.
I am deliberately trying to avoid another hidden column for calculations because I already hide columns and rows on this sheet for data presentation purposes. It would be cumbersome to constantly rehide calculation columns when unhiding data.
Her is the formula to use based on your formula(See below for shorter version).
=POWER(PRODUCT(IF(SUBTOTAL(3,OFFSET(O6:O22,ROW(O6:O22)-MIN(ROW(O6:O22)),,1)),O6:O22+1)),1/SUMPRODUCT(SUBTOTAL(3,OFFSET(O6:O22,ROW(O6:O22)-MIN(ROW(O6:O22)),,1))))-1
This is an array formula and must be confirmed with Ctrl-Shift-Enter instead of Enter when exiting edit mode.
EDIT:
You can use GEOMEAN() with the IF() from above to return the same in a shorter formula:
=GEOMEAN(IF(SUBTOTAL(3,OFFSET(O6:O22,ROW(O6:O22)-MIN(ROW(O6:O22)),,1)),O6:O22+1))-1
Still an Array Formula and needs to be confirmed with Ctrl-Shift-Enter instead of Enter when exiting edit mode.

I have a spreadsheet...
A you can see, the cell F2 has a formula with multiple COUNTSIF, basicly checks the cells F14, F33, F62 y there is a Pass there, and if there is one will give you a % completion. My question is that I have to add around 20-30 COUNTIFS to that formula, is there a way to simplify it.
=(COUNTIF(F14,"Pass")+COUNTIF(F33,"Pass")+COUNTIF(F62,"Pass")+COUNTIF(F75,"Pass")+COUNTIF(F88,"Pass")+COUNTIF(F105,"Pass"))/(COUNTIFS(F14,"<>na")+COUNTIFS(F33,"<>na")+COUNTIFS(F62,"<>na")++COUNTIFS(F75,"<>na")++COUNTIFS(F88,"<>na")+COUNTIFS(F105,"<>na"))
This is not the final formula, still missing around 20 entries. If you're wondering why not do a simple F15:FXX, because i just need the cells that have a test case name, like F14, F33, etc.
For the first part of your formula, you can use the INDEX function to return a non-contiguous set of values, which you can test.
For example, the equivalent for the first part would be:
=SUM(N(INDEX($F:$F,IF(1,N({14,33,62,75,88,105})))="Pass"))
The IF(1,N({…})) part is how you specify which cells (rows) in Column F to return.
Without knowing more about your data, not sure about handling the percentage issue.
Your posted formula would not calculate a percentage, as it is only dividing the SUM by whether or not F14<>"na" is true, and then adding one for the <>"na" factor for the rest
In earlier versions of Excel, you may need to confirm this array formula, hold down ctrl + shift while hitting enter. If you do this correctly, Excel will place braces {...} around the formula seen in the formula bar.
If you want to return the percent "pass" in your list of cells, merely divide the SUM by the number of cells. You can either hard-code that number, or compute it with something like:
COLUMNS({14,33,62,75,88,105})
Or all together:
=SUM(N(INDEX($F:$F,IF(1,N({14,33,62,75,88,105})))="Pass"))/6
or
=SUM(N(INDEX($F:$F,IF(1,N({14,33,62,75,88,105})))="Pass"))/COLUMNS({14,33,62,75,88,105})
I'm looking for an excel formula to return the index of the first value in a large column such that ABS((COL)(ROW)-(COL)(ROW+2))< 0.1
Clearly, this is pretty easy to program in VBA by starting with the first row in the column and iterating through. However, I'm just looking for an excel formula in this case.
I think it will need to be something functionally like:
=INDEX($A$1:$A$100,MATCH(TRUE,($A$1:$A$100)-($A$3:$A$102)<.1,0))
This clearly won't return anything. I'm interested in how to do that subtraction part using excel formulas.
Thanks!
Just need to add the ABS and ARRAY ENTER the formula:
=INDEX($A$1:$A$100,MATCH(TRUE,ABS(($A$1:$A$100)-($A$3:$A$102))<.1,0))
Being an array formula it must be confirmed with Ctrl-Shift-Enter instead of Enter when exiting edit mode. If done correctly then Excel will put {} around the formula.
In order to do some calculations on averages and differences of values in columns, I've defined a name, based on a range, but it seems to be completely going berserk:
I have a cell (D13), defined as Header_First _Answer, which contains the title of the column, and I have a value (currently being 69), which contains the number of entries, called Total_Count.
I've defined the entries of that column as another name: "All_First_Answered_Dates", defined as =OFFSET(Header_First_Answer;1;0):OFFSET(Header_First_Answer;Total_Count;0) (start by the first entry under Header_First_Answer, take up to 69 entries, and define a range out of this).
In cell G5, I'm using that name in order to do some calculations (calculating averages), but this seems not to work (there is a #Value error).
After second comment from Rory: G5 formula and first formula evaluation result:
Formula:
=AVERAGE(IF(ISBLANK(All_First_Answered_Dates);TODAY();All_First_Answered_Dates) - All_Start_Dates)
First evaluation result:
=AVERAGE(IF(ISBLANK(#Value!);TODAY();All_First_Answered_Dates) - All_Start_Dates)
Hence, my conclusion:
After some checking I've found out that this is due to the name "All_First_Answered_Dates", which seems to be interpreted one time too many (or how do I explain this):
In different cells, I've entered the formula =OFFSET(Header_First_Answer;1;0):OFFSET(Header_First_Answer;Total_Count;0) (which is exactly the meaning of "All_First_Answered_Dates"), and every time, using the Evaluate Formula feature, I see that the last but one result is correct: $D$14:$D$82. However, after that, another evaluation is done, turning this value into 43283 (in case the formula is entered in "J14"), 43300 (in case the formula is entered in "J15"), ..., and in case I enter this formula in a cell with row number lower than 14, I have the error value #Value (which explains the wrong result in cell G5).
If I simply put the formula =$D$14:$D$82 in any of the mentioned cells, then the content of some cells in column D are shown (which are dates, not values like 43283 or 43300).
It appears that declaring a range as =x:y, where x and y are formula results, is not working.
Does anybody know how I can define a range as a formula, which I can then use in order to define in a name?
I can imagine my explanation being quite complicated without an image, hence the attached screenshot. In there:
In cell J13, there is the formula =OFFSET(Header_First_Answer;1;0):OFFSET(Header_First_Answer;Total_Count;0).
In cell J14, there is the same formula.
In cell K14, there is the formula =$D$14:$D$82.
For completion purposes, hereby a screenshot of the name manager, containing both mentioned names (the ones, selected in the name manager):
Edit after first comment:
The idea behind the range is the following:
1. Take the first row under Header_First_Answer, do not take any other column : OFFSET(Header_First_Answer;1;0)
2. Take the Total_Count's row under Header_First_Answer, do not take any other column : OFFSET(Header_First_Answer;Total_Count;0)
3. Define a range, based on those two cells, by putting a semicolon between them.
I was not aware of the height and width features of the Offset() worksheet function. I've implemented them, which makes the formulas much easier.
Unfortunately the problem still persists.
Thanks in advance

I've just found the answer of what was going wrong:
The formula was meant to be an array formula. Something went wrong and while trying to debug, I accidently re-formatted the formula into a normal formula (I must have pressed "ENTER" instead of "Ctrl" + "Shift" + "ENTER") at some point.
I have re-applied array formula (using "Ctrl" + "Shift" + "ENTER"), getting a formula like:
{=AVERAGE(IF(ISBLANK(All_First_Answered_Dates);TODAY();All_First_Answered_Dates) - All_Start_Dates)}
(mind the braces {, })
Now everything is working fine.
I have to put together a weekly reporting system in Excel. I need to report on the month to dale sales results and the completed week (Fri-Thu). This is collected from multiple sales agents in sales documents stored in Sharepoint.
For this, I've used "SUMIFS" to collect the data, the following way:
=SUMIFS('SHAREPOINTREF/FILE.xlsm'!SalesResults[One off],'SHAREPOINTREF/FILE.xlsm'!SalesResults[Date],">="&B7,'SHAREPOINTREF/FILE.xlsm'!SalesResults[Date],"<="&C7)
(B7 is a cell reference which determines the start date of the week, with C7 being the end of the week)
The trouble with SUMIFS, as well as SUMIF, COUNTBLANK, COUNTIF and COUNTIFS, is that they don't work when the sourcing document is closed. Microsoft has a workaround here: https://support.microsoft.com/kb/260415?wa=wsignin1.0
I can't seem to figure out how to adapt the workaround methodology recommended to apply not just to a simple IF statement, but to multiples. I assume I would need to use an "AND" statement, but I keep getting errors when I'm trying.
I have about half a dozen different calculations to make, but I am pretty confident if I can solve this one, the others should start to gel a bit better.
Try this:
=SUM(IF('SHAREPOINTREF/FILE.xlsm'!SalesResults[Date]>=B7,IF('SHAREPOINTREF/FILE.xlsm'!SalesResults[Date]<=C7,'SHAREPOINTREF/FILE.xlsm'!SalesResults[One off])))
Entered using Ctrl+Shift+Enter.
Non-Array formula equivalent:
=SUMPRODUCT(--('SHAREPOINTREF/FILE.xlsm'!SalesResults[Date]>=B7),--('SHAREPOINTREF/FILE.xlsm'!SalesResults[Date]<=C7),'SHAREPOINTREF/FILE.xlsm'!SalesResults[One off])
But both seems to return #REF! when source WB is closed even though the link provided in the question claims otherwise.
Edit1:
After more digging, above will work but you need to use a Normal Range and not a Table Range.
The only problem is, you loose the advantage of Table's Dynamic Data Range.
So something like this will work even if the source is closed:
=SUMPRODUCT(--('SHAREPOINTREF/[FILE.xlsm]Sheet1'!$A$2:$A$11>=B7),--('SHAREPOINTREF/[FILE.xlsm]Sheet1'!$A$2:$A$11<=C7),'SHAREPOINTREF/[FILE.xlsm]Sheet1'!$B$2:$B$11)
The recommended solution is to use array formulas. Those are a special type of formula that, when typed, must be activated by pressing Ctrl + Shift + Enter in the formula bar. Such a function works by applying a function that would normally accept a single cell (such as IF() ) to a range. You will need to wrap the result in an aggregating formula such as SUM() or COUNT(). Here's an example:
=SUM(IF($A$1:$A$10="Apple", $B$1:$B$10, 0))
This formula would check each cell from A1 to A10 and compare it to "Apple", if it is true it will return the corresponding row from $B$1:$B$10. The result would be an array of values of column B where column A is "Apples" with zeros where it is not. The surrounding SUM() aggregates the array and gives the equivalent of SUMIF().
As I mentioned, you would need to enter Ctrl + Shift + Enter after typing the formula for it to work as an array formula. Otherwise, it will work as a regular formula.
I want to use the Index formula to list data in my excel sheet.
I want to list the data of the column A that contains "finished" in the corresponding cells in column E.
Currently I'm using the following formula:
=INDEX(IMs!A:A;MATCH("finished";IMs!E:E;0))
The problem is, only the first value appears. I want to list ALL of them.
Is it possible with the vlookup formula?
Thank you very much in advance.
Kind regards,
Vanessa
First enter this formula in B1:
=COUNTIF(IMs!$E:$E,"Finished")
Then enter this array formula** in your first cell of choice:
=IF(ROWS($1:1)>$B$1,"",INDEX(IMs!$A$1:$A$1000,SMALL(IF(IMs!$E$1:$E$1000="finished",ROW(IMs!$E$1:$E$1000)-MIN(ROW(IMs!$E$1:$E$1000))+1),ROWS($1:1))))
Copy this formula down (though not the one in C1) until you start to get blanks for the results.
If the upper row reference that I chose (1000) is not sufficiently high, then change it as required. Note, however, that since this is an array formula, it is not recommended that you make this upper bound too high (and certainly don't reference entire columns!), since this will have a significantly detrimental effect on spreadsheet performance.
From your post, it also appears that you are using a version of Excel in which the argument separator in formulas is not the comma but the semi-colon. If this is indeed the case then you will need to make the necessary amendments to the formulas I provided.
Regards
**Array formulas are not entered in the same way as 'standard' formulas. Instead of pressing just ENTER, you first hold down CTRL and SHIFT, and only then press ENTER. If you've done it correctly, you'll notice Excel puts curly brackets {} around the formula (though do not attempt to manually insert these yourself).
