I have to re-number over 30,000 rows in excel and am looking for a way to do this through an embedded excel function.
I have two columns, the original BuildingCount and the Test column. In the BuildingCount column, I have inconsistent count that needs to be consecutive 1,2,3 numbers in order to run a macros. However, the numbers are not always consecutive. I have been writing different variations of excel functions. The below is the output for =IF(A2>1),A2+1,1)
+----+---------------+------------+
| | A | B |
+----+---------------+------------+
| 1 | BuildingCount | TestColumn |
| 2 | 1 | #VALUE! |
| 3 | 2 | 1 |
| 4 | 3 | 3 |
| 5 | 5 | 4 |
| 6 | 6 | 6 |
| 7 | 9 | 7 |
| 8 | 1 | 10 |
| 9 | 2 | 1 |
| 10 | 3 | 3 |
| 11 | 4 | 4 |
| 12 | 5 | 5 |
+----+---------------+------------+
Ideally, the output would be the following:
+----+---------------+------------+
| | A | B |
+----+---------------+------------+
| 1 | BuildingCount | TestColumn |
| 2 | 1 | 1 |
| 3 | 2 | 2 |
| 4 | 3 | 3 |
| 5 | 5 | 4 |
| 6 | 6 | 5 |
| 7 | 7 | 6 |
| 8 | 1 | 1 |
| 9 | 2 | 2 |
| 10 | 3 | 3 |
| 11 | 4 | 4 |
| 12 | 5 | 5 |
+----+---------------+------------+
Any ideas would be very welcomed.
Formula in B2:
=IF(ROW()=2,1,IF(A2>A1,B1+1,1))

In continuation of my previous question: Sumproduct with multiple criteria on one range
Jeeped provided me with an very helpful formula to achieve a sumproduct() which takes multiple criteria. My current case is however a bit broader:
Take these example tables:
First column is the ID number, second column a respondent group(A,B). Column headers are question types (X,Y,Z).
Table Q1
| | | X | Y | Y | Z | Y |
|----|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | A | 2 | 2 | 1 | | 1 |
| 2 | A | 1 | 1 | | | 2 |
| 3 | A | 1 | 1 | | | 1 |
| 4 | A | 2 | 1 | | | 1 |
| 5 | A | 1 | 2 | 1 | | 1 |
| 6 | A | 1 | 1 | | | 1 |
| 7 | A | | | | | |
| 8 | A | | | | | |
| 9 | A | 1 | 1 | | | 1 |
| 10 | A | 2 | 2 | 2 | | 2 |
| 11 | A | | | | | |
| 12 | A | 1 | 2 | 1 | | 2 |
| 13 | B | | | | | |
| 14 | B | 1 | 1 | | | 1 |
| 15 | B | 2 | 2 | 1 | | 1 |
Table Q2
| | | X | Y | Y | Z | Y |
|----|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | A | 1 | 2 | 1 | | 1 |
| 2 | A | 1 | 1 | | | 1 |
| 3 | A | 1 | 1 | | | 1 |
| 4 | A | 1 | 1 | | | 1 |
| 5 | A | 1 | 1 | | | 1 |
| 6 | A | 1 | 1 | | | 1 |
| 7 | A | | | | | |
| 8 | A | | | | | |
| 9 | A | 1 | 1 | | | 1 |
| 10 | A | 1 | 1 | | | 1 |
| 11 | A | | | | | |
| 12 | A | 1 | 2 | 1 | | 1 |
| 13 | B | | | | | |
| 14 | B | 1 | 1 | | | 1 |
| 15 | B | 1 | 2 | 1 | | 1 |
Now I want to know the amount of times a respondent answered 1 (yes) on Q2 for each question type (X,Y,Z). The catch is that if someone answered 1 (yes) on Q1 it should "override" the answer on Q2, as we assume that when someone answers yes on Q1 (implementation of a measure), their answer on Q2 (knowledge of said measure) has to be yes as well.
The second catch is that for the first two occurrences of Y there can only be yes in one of both columns, so in fact there can only be two yes answers for question type Y for each respondent.
I used the following formula (on sheet 3): =SUMPRODUCT(SIGN(('Q1'!$C$2:$G$16=1)+('Q2'!$C$2:$G$16=1))*('Q2'!$B$2:$B$16=Blad3!$D5)*('Q2'!$C$1:$G$1=Blad3!E$4)) to obtain the following results.
| | X | Y | Z |
|---|---|----|---|
| A | 9 | 19 | 0 |
| B | 2 | 4 | 0 |
For X these results are correct, as there are 9 1's in table Q2.
For Y the results for B are correct, for A however they are not, as there are only 9 respondents, answering max 2 questions would result in a max of 18, we have 19 however.
It turns out there is nothing wrong with the formula, just that it isn't suited for the way this data is organised. If you look at row 5:
Q1
| | | X | Y | Y | Z | Y |
|----|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 5 | A | 1 | 2 | 1 | | 1 |
Q2
| | | X | Y | Y | Z | Y |
|----|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 5 | A | 1 | 1 | | | 1 |
If we condense that to everywhere there is a 1 in any of the Y column we get this table:
| | | X | Y | Y | Z | Y |
|----|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 5 | A | | 1 | 1 | | 1 |
When I ask for the sumproduct() for this combined table the result will be 3.
To prevent this I added a helper column (between the two Y and the Z column) to my tables, with the following formula: IF(OR(D1=1,E1=1),1,""). Removed the headers from the double Y columns, and re-running the query produced the correct results.
New table Q1 looks like this then:
| | | X | | | Y | Z | Y |
|----|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | A | 2 | 2 | 1 | 1 | | 1 |
| 2 | A | 1 | 1 | | 1 | | 2 |
| 3 | A | 1 | 1 | | 1 | | 1 |
| 4 | A | 2 | 1 | | 1 | | 1 |
| 5 | A | 1 | 2 | 1 | 1 | | 1 |
| 6 | A | 1 | 1 | | 1 | | 1 |
| 7 | A | | | | | | |
| 8 | A | | | | | | |
| 9 | A | 1 | 1 | | 1 | | 1 |
| 10 | A | 2 | 2 | 2 | | | 2 |
| 11 | A | | | | | | |
| 12 | A | 1 | 2 | 1 | 1 | | 2 |
| 13 | B | | | | | | |
| 14 | B | 1 | 1 | | 1 | | 1 |
| 15 | B | 2 | 2 | 1 | 1 | | 1 |
Summary
I want to have a column in my spreadsheet that does 2 things.
1) In an ordered column, it will return the range where the column contains a specified value.
2) It will run a function (i.e., =SUM(), =AVERAGE(), etc.) over that same range in a different column.
Examples
Original
| NAME | VAL | FOO |
|-------|-----|-----|
| A | 3 | |
| A | 2 | |
| A | 4 | |
| A | 3 | |
| B | 2 | |
| B | 2 | |
| B | 1 | |
| C | 6 | |
| C | 5 | |
Average
I would want to get the average of VAL for each NAME. I would want the result to be:
| NAME | VAL | FOO |
|-------|-----|-----|
| A | 3 | 3 |
| A | 2 | 3 |
| A | 4 | 3 |
| A | 3 | 3 |
| B | 2 | 1.7 |
| B | 2 | 1.7 |
| B | 1 | 1.7 |
| C | 6 | 5.5 |
| C | 5 | 5.5 |
Sum
Another example would be to get the sum of VAL for each NAME.
| NAME | VAL | FOO |
|-------|-----|-----|
| A | 3 | 12 |
| A | 2 | 12 |
| A | 4 | 12 |
| A | 3 | 12 |
| B | 2 | 5 |
| B | 2 | 5 |
| B | 1 | 5 |
| C | 6 | 11 |
| C | 5 | 11 |
Having "NAME" ordered makes it easy. If "NAME" is in A1. Enter this into C2 for the sum, then fill down:
=IF(A2=A3,C3,SUMIF($A$2:A2,A2,$B$2:B2))
Enter this into C2 for the average, then fill down:
=IF(A2=A3,C3,AVERAGEIF($A$2:A2,A2,$B$2:B2))
Note that the result in C2 won't be what you want until you fill down.
Update for MAXIF
If you don't have Excel 2016, you'll have to use an array formula (commit with ctrl+shift+enter):
=IF(A2=A3,C3,MAX(IF($A$2:A2=A2,$B$2:B2)))
I am trying to build a dataset from an online questionnaire. In this questionnaire, participants were asked to name 6 items. These items are represented with numbers from 1 to 6 (order of mention does not matter). Afterwards, participants were asked to rank those items from most important to least important (order here matters). Right now I have three columns "Named items", "Item ranked" and "Rank." The last column represents the position at which each case was ranked at. Thus, the idea would be to look at the number in the first column "Named item" and search for its position on the second column "Items Ranked" and return its position to the third column corresponding row.
Since the numbers go from 1 to 6, every six rows the process has to start again on the 7th row. I have a total of 186 participants, which means there's a total of 1116 items. What would be the most efficient way of doing this and preventing human error?
Here is an example of how the sheet looks like done manually:
+----------------------+-----------------------------+------+
| Order of named items | Items ranked (# = Identity) | Rank |
+----------------------+-----------------------------+------+
| 1 | 2 | 4 |
| 2 | 5 | 1 |
| 3 | 6 | 6 |
| 4 | 1 | 5 |
| 5 | 4 | 2 |
| 6 | 3 | 3 |
| 1 | 1 | 1 |
| 2 | 2 | 2 |
| 3 | 3 | 3 |
| 4 | 4 | 4 |
| 5 | 5 | 5 |
| 6 | 6 | 6 |
| 1 | 1 | 1 |
| 2 | 2 | 2 |
| 3 | 3 | 3 |
| 4 | 4 | 4 |
| 5 | 5 | 5 |
| 6 | 6 | 6 |
| 1 | 5 | 3 |
| 2 | 6 | 4 |
| 3 | 1 | 5 |
| 4 | 2 | 6 |
| 5 | 3 | 1 |
| 6 | 4 | 2 |
| 1 | 2 | 2 |
| 2 | 1 | 1 |
| 3 | 6 | 4 |
| 4 | 3 | 5 |
| 5 | 4 | 6 |
| 6 | 5 | 3 |
+----------------------+-----------------------------+------+
You can use this non volatile function:
=MATCH(A2,INDEX(B:B,INT((ROW(1:1)-1)/6)*6+2):INDEX(B:B,INT((ROW(1:1)-1)/6)*6+7),0)
Assuming 1st column starts at A2 and second column at B2 use this formula in C2 copied down
=MATCH(A2,OFFSET(B$2,6*INT((ROWS(C$2:C2)-1)/6),0,6),0)
OFFSET returns the 6 cell range required and MATCH finds the position of the relevant item within that

i have been try to solved this using tutorial from google ( everywhere ) but i'm not find any answer, i hope i can found the answer here.
here is my data
A B C
+-------+----+-----+
1 | 123 | 4 | 5 |
2 | 678 | 9 | 10 |
+-------+----+-----+
the result that i need :
A B C
+-------+----+-----+
1 | 123 | | |
2 | 678 | | |
3 | 4 | | |
4 | 5 | | |
5 | 9 | | |
6 | 10 | | |
+-------+----+-----+
or in other order like :
123
4
5
678
...
any one know how to solved this ?
In Excel, I have two columns of data that I wish to combine.
Current set of data:
+---------+---------+
| column1 | column2 |
+---------+---------+
| a | 1 |
| b | 2 |
| c | 3 |
| d | 4 |
| | 5 |
| | 6 |
| | 7 |
+---------+---------+
For each value in column1, I need to assign all of the values in column2 so it looks like this:
+---------+---------+
| column1 | column2 |
+---------+---------+
| a | 1 |
| a | 2 |
| a | 3 |
| a | 4 |
| a | 5 |
| a | 6 |
| a | 7 |
+---------+---------+
| b | 1 |
| b | 2 |
| b | 3 |
| b | 4 |
| b | 5 |
| b | 6 |
| b | 7 |
+---------+---------+
| c | 1 |
| c | 2 |
| c | 3 |
| c | 4 |
| c | 5 |
| c | 6 |
| c | 7 |
+---------+---------+
| d | 1 |
| d | 2 |
| d | 3 |
| d | 4 |
| d | 5 |
| d | 6 |
| d | 7 |
+---------+---------+
How can I do this?
Do I need to find a macro/VB solution?
Since seems unlikely to receive any other answer:
in A1: a
in B1: =MOD(ROW()-1,7)+1
in A2: =IF(MOD(ROW()-1,7)>0,CHAR(CODE(A1)),CHAR(CODE(A1)+1))
Copy both formulae down to suit.
