How can I find a count of blank cells until a value is found in a row?
I did some searching and found that I could use either
COUNTBLANK with INDIRECT or COUNTIF or MATCH with INDEX
But couldn't get it to work on any of them...
The formula should go into B5.
Example:
Thank you for the help.
Use MATCH() Function:
=MATCH(FALSE,ISBLANK(B1:F1),0)-1
That formula will give you the number of cells to the first non-blank cell, so if you substract one you’ll get the number of blank cells. As is an array formula confirm it with CRTL+SHIFT+ENTER instead of ENTER so you get the brackets {} in the formula:
{=MATCH(FALSE,ISBLANK(B1:F1),0)-1}
Please try this basic Lookup function. (This is normal function which means no need to confirm CTRL+Shift+Enter.)
This below function needs to be written on A1 then you can drag it down.
=LOOKUP(2,1/($A1:G1<>""),COLUMN($A1:G1))-2
You can use a combination of MATCH and MAX (or MIN) for this:
Formula in B5:
=MATCH(MAX(B1:G1),B1:G1,0)-1
Drag down

I am trying to put a nested IF, AND and Vlookup formula. I want formula to return the value "0.17" in cell F3 if cell D3 has text "pasha" and B3 is not equal to cells mentioned in vlookup formula but its returns zero instead of showing 0.1. Please guide, TIA
=IFERROR(IF(AND(D3="Pasha",VLOOKUP(B3,G70:H78,2,0)<>B3),0.17,IF(VLOOKUP(B3,$B$69:$B$89,1,0)=B3,0.15,"")),0)
enter image description here
You may want to replace
VLOOKUP(B3,G70:H78,2,0)<>B3)
(Excel will unsuccessfully try to match B3 value with values from G column range while it contains different type of data:“Pasha”)
with
NOT(ISNUMBER(MATCH(B3,H70:H78,0)))
And feel free to adjust the second VLOOKUP accordingly.
So, how about this:
You need to to sort the vlookup() but the process for testing the conditions is there.
=SUMIF(A1:A14, "102000*", B1:B14)
Why it cannot filter the value starts with 10200?
An array (CSE) formula solves the issue:
How it works:
Suppose you want to add numbers like 1020001, then enter it as criteria in cell D74, and use this formula.
{=SUM((B74:B82)*(--(A74:A82=D74)))}
If you have more criteria, like I've shown in D74 & in E74, then use this one in C74.
{=SUM((B74:B82)*(--(A74:A82=D74)+(--(A74:A82=E74))))}
N.B.
Finish formula with Ctrl+Shift+Enter.
You may adjust cell references in the formula as needed.
You are better off creating a new column using the formula
left(a1,5)
Then base the sumif off that new column.
If you want to count the number of occurences, you can use
=SUMPRODUCT(--(--LEFT(A1:A7,5)=10200))
and if you actually want to sum values, use
=SUMPRODUCT(--(--LEFT(A1:A7,5)=10200)*(B1:B7))
I'm trying to apply an INDEX/MATCH formula to multiple cells, and the only parameter I want to change in between cells is the "col_number". It this possible?
Example:
=INDEX(Sheet2!$A1:$APH344,MATCH(Sheet1!$A2,Sheet2!$A:$A,0),2)
In the next cell over, I would like to keep everything equal, but change that last "2" to "3":
=INDEX(Sheet2!$A1:$APH344,MATCH(Sheet1!$A2,Sheet2!$A:$A,0),3)
Then:
=INDEX(Sheet2!$A1:$APH344,MATCH(Sheet1!$A2,Sheet2!$A:$A,0),4)
And so on..
Is there any way to apply this pattern to many cells (i.e. 100s of cells) quickly? Thanks!
You are not using $ in your rows.
Give this a try:
INDEX(Sheet2!$A$1:$APH$344,MATCH(Sheet1!$A$2,Sheet2!$A:$A,0),2)
As Ahmed pointed out, the dollar sign $ is placed before both the column and row, when you don't want it to change as you drag a formula to other cells.
You can use the ROW() function, instead of a static numerical value, to increase the column number as you fill down the column.Here is your original formula using the ROW() function instead : =INDEX(Sheet2!$A1:$APH344,MATCH(Sheet1!$A2,Sheet2!$A:$A,0),ROW()).
If your formula does not start in row one, then you will need to subtract the number of rows that it is removed from row one.For example, if your formula started in row 8: ROW()-ROWS(A$1:A7).
That depends on which way you drag your formula,
Dragging from top to bottom:
=INDEX(Sheet2!$A1:$APH344,MATCH(Sheet1!$A2,Sheet2!$A:$A,0),ROW(2:2))
Dragging from left to right,
=INDEX(Sheet2!$A1:$APH344,MATCH(Sheet1!$A2,Sheet2!$A:$A,0),COLUMN(B:B))
If you want a cell to be fix, use $ to fix the column and or the row.
For example, to fix the B4 cell, use $B$4 instead. After that just drag the formula to the other cells
The blue cell summates to 1, but that is not correct and it should summate to more because of the row text match with B47 row. Any ideas what's wrong?
SUMIF is not supposed to work with more than one criteria (you can't check multiple criteria within one SUMIF as you tried in your formula).
This formula will calculate the right result for you: =SUM(B3:BI3*(IFERROR(MATCH(B2:BI3,B47:AL47,0)>0,0))), this is an array formula, so you need to press CTRL+SHIFT+ENTER after it.
MATCH(...): look for all students whether they are in the list with requirments (this is the part which works only as array formula)
IFERROR(...): converts #N/A errors to 0
If I am not wrong, you are trying to calculate the number of students for a particular project with skill1 and skill2.
You may also try using COUNTIFS() function. This works for multiple criteria.
If it is possible, I'd like to create a formula that will allow me the following:
Formula must be in the entire column or in this example, in the range B1:B5. The formula is based on a condition, that when the total sum of cells from column A is lower D1, than it gives "X". If the total sum is over D1, then it gives an empty field - "".
In this example the total sum of the cells, that are over D1 value is in the first 3 rows, hence the three X-es, and then it stops.

I presume it would be possible to do this with multiple SUMIF commands, but does anyone know a smoother solution for this?
Thanks!
You can do this easily by using an absolute reference for the starting point of a SUM and using a relative reference for the end point. When copied down, this formulas works fine.
=IF(SUM($A$1:A1)<$D$1,"x","")
Results
Try this
=IF(SUM(OFFSET(A1,0,0,$A$1:A1,1))>$D$1,"X","")
This formula should start at B1 and then you use auto-increment to populate other cells
