Index Match Formula issue - excel

I have a list of SKU's from left to right columns B - X and 400 rows, not all of the cells are populated so there are plenty of blank cells.
I then have the product name in column Y (as there can be multiple colour variants and SKUs for 1 product).
On a separate tab I have all the order line details, which includes SKU, I need to append the product name on to the end of this using the first tab.
I have tried Index/Matching but it doesnt seem to be working, vlookup doesnt as I need to bring back the same column (Y) irrelevant of where it finds the match.
=INDEX('All Lines'!Y3:Y428,match(*Product SKU*,'All Lines'!B3:X428,0))
All lines is my first tab, with the product SKU coming from the tab with the order details
Expectation is the product name will be output (which is in column Y)

At first I misinterpreted your question I think. Are you looking for a certain value that can be anywhere in the matrix B3:X428 and return the row to the INDEX() row parameter?
In that case you could try to incorporate SUMPRODUCT() within the INDEX() row parameter like so (simplified):
The formula in G2:
=INDEX(D2:D9,SUMPRODUCT((A2:C9=G1)*ROW(A2:C9))-1)

How to find the 3 highest values and respective category for a cell

Here is an example of the data I'm trying to organize:
I'm looking for a way to automatically see the top 3 categories (column) for each Name# (row). The size of the category is determined by the number below the category.
Ideally, I'd also like to see a percentage breakdown (from the total) for each category. For example, in row "Name3" 2 categories make up a significantly larger portion of the total values. However, without this percentage breakdown, the 3 top values would seem to be comparable, when they are in fact, not.
Interested to see how this would all work with duplicate numbers, too.
I've tried Excel's rank function, but this doesn't tell me the categories that have the 3 largest sizes, just the 3 highest values.
With Office 365:
=FILTER(SORTBY($B$1:$H$1,B2:H2,-1),SORT(B2:H2,1,-1,TRUE)>=LARGE(B2:H2,3))
And copy down.
If there are ties it will expand the results to include it. It finds the third highest value and returns everything that is equal to or greater than it.
This approach spills all the results at once (array version). In cell J2, you can put the following formula:
=LET(D, A1:H5, A, TAKE(D,,1), DROP(REDUCE("", DROP(A,1), LAMBDA(ac,aa,
VSTACK(ac, TAKE(SORT(DROP(FILTER(D, (A=aa) + (A="")),,1),2,-1,1),1,3)))),1))
It assumes as per input data the cell A1 is empty (if not it can be adjusted accordingly). Here is the output:
An alternative that doesn't require previous assumption (but it is not really a hard one) is the following:
=LET(names, A2:A5, Data, B2:H5, colors, B1:H1, DROP(REDUCE("", names,
LAMBDA(ac,n, VSTACK(ac, TAKE(SORT(VSTACK(colors, INDEX(Data, XMATCH(n,names),0))
,2,-1,TRUE),1,3)))),1))
The non-array version can be obtained from previous approach, and expand it down:
=TAKE(SORT(VSTACK($B$1:$H$1,INDEX($B$2:$H$5, XMATCH(A2,$A$2:$A$5),0)),2,-1,TRUE),1,3)
Explanation
To spill the entire solution it uses DROP/REDUCE/VSTACK pattern. Check my answer to the following question: how to transform a table in Excel from vertical to horizontal but with different length.
For the first formula we filter for a given element of A name (aa) via FILTER the input data (D) to select rows where the name is empty (to consider the header) OR (plus (+) condition) the name is equal to aa. We remove via DROP the first column of the filter result (names column). Next we SORT by the second row (the first rows are the colors) in descending order (-1) by column (last input parameter of SORT we can use TRUE or 1). Finally, we use TAKE to take the first three columns and the first row.
For the second approach, we select the values for a given row (names equals n) and use INDEX to select the entire row (column index 0), then we form an array via VSTACK to add as first row the colors and use the similar logic as in previous approach for sorting and select the corresponding rows and column (colors).
Notes:
If you don't have VSTACK function available, then you can replace it as follow: CHOOSE({1;2}, arr1,arr2) and substitute arr1, arr2, wit the corresponding arrays.
In the second formula instead of INDEX/XMATCH you can use: DROP(FILTER(Data, names=n),,1), it is a matter of personal preference.

Condensing nested if-statements with multiple criteria

The blue columns is the data given and the red columns is what is being calculated. Then the table to the right is what I am referencing. So, F2 will be calculated by the following steps:
Look at the Machinery column (D), if the cell contains LF, select column K, otherwise select column L
Look at the Grade column (E), if the cell contains RG, select rows 4:8, otherwise select rows 9:12.
Look at the Species column (A), if the cell contains MS, select rows 5 and 10, otherwise.......
Where every the most selected cell is in columns K and L, copy into column F.
Multiply column F by column C.
I don't want to make another column for my final result. I did in the picture to show the two steps separately. So column F should be the final answer (F2 = 107.33). The reference table can be formatted differently as well.
At first, I tried using nested-if statements, but realized that I would have like 20+ if statements for all the different outcomes. I think I would want to use the SEARCH function to find weather of not the cell contains a specific piece of information. Then I would probably use some sort of combination of match, if, v-lookup, index, search, but I am not sure how to condense these.
Any suggestion?
SUMPRODUCT is the function you need. I quickly created some test data on the lines of what you shared like this:
Then I entered the below formula in cell F2
=SUMPRODUCT(($I$4:$I$9=E2)*($J$4:$J$9=LEFT(A2,FIND(" ",A2)-1))*IF(ISERROR(FIND("LF",D2,1)),$L$4:$L$9,$K$4:$K$9))
The formula may look a little scary but is indeed very simple as each sub formula checks for a condition that you would want to evaluate. So, for example,
($I$4:$I$9=E2)
is looking for rows that match GRADE of the current row in range $I$4:$I$9 and so on. The * ensures that the arrays thus returned are multiplied and only the value where all conditions are true remains.
Since some of your conditions require looking for partial content like in Species and Machine, I have used Left and Find functions within Sumproduct
This formula simply returns the value from either column K or L based on the matching conditions and you may easily extend it or add more conditions.

VLOOKUP or INDEX-MATCH for text from bottom to the top with reference to another sheet in the workbook

I am making a log for work and in one of the columns, I need a formula that fills each cell with the latest text information from another sheet in the same workbook. I have attached a picture of the worksheet I am working in and a picture of the referenced worksheet.
The worksheet I need the formula in
The worksheet with the reference cells
In image 1, there are 2 column titles highlighted. Column 'A' and Column 'S'. Column A is the id of one of my animals, and column S is supposed to have a date/initial in there for my macro to work. However, people forget to fill it in and only fill it in the sheet from image 2 in Column 'P'. Because we reuse the same animal more than once the information that goes into column S in the first image always needs to be the newest information from the reference sheet. I know how to do a VLOOKUP with the dates, I have already done those, but because I need the cell to populate with text instead of numerical values, I am having trouble.
I will list some formulas I have tried that are supposed to go from the bottom to the top but don't work and maybe just need to tweak and some that work if I was going from the top to the bottom.
Formulas that don't work going from the bottom to the top but I'd think would:
=LOOKUP(2,1/(FIND(A18,BREEDING!D:D)),P:P)
=INDEX(BREEDING!P:P,MATCH(A21,BREEDING!D:D,0))
=LOOKUP(2,1/(BREEDING!D:D=A21),BREEDING:P:P)
Formulas that do work but go from the top to the bottom:
=(VLOOKUP(A17,BREEDING!D:Q,13,FALSE))
References:
Column A: Animal ID that is present in the 1st image
Column D: Animal ID that is present in the 2nd image
Column S: 'Date Weaned' cell that will contain the formula and information from the 2nd image should populate into
Column P: The actual date weaned that should go into column S of the 1st image
TL;DR
In image 1, cells in column S should have the latest text information from column P of image 2 if the information from Column A of image 1 matches the information from Column D of image 2
Formula that you could use is below
=INDEX(BREEDING!P:P;AGGREGATE(14;6;ROW(BREEDING!D:D)/(BREEDING!D:D=A2);1))
how it works - the index is simple, the aggregate the is main thing - it uses 14 as first parameter which is function LARGE (return k-th largest value) and then the 6 is the most important, because that means "skip errors". This is vital, because when you divide by (BREEDING!D:D=A2) it divides by 0 or 1 based on false/true so creates lot of errors and keeps only the lines with Animal ID equal to Animal ID of the line. Then it uses LARGE function on all lines with that Animal ID and because of the last part ";1))" it returns the highest row number where the Animal ID matches. This way you should be able to get the value from your second sheet for the newest (highest row number) line.
The formula can be quite resource-intensive so you might have to repaste as values - if you are periodically running a macro on the data you can have it also apply the formula and then change to values if it gets too long to calculate every time you want to change something...

Excel 2 column comparison: duplicate in one column, but unique as pair

I'm trying to compare values across two columns (Product and Location) in Excel to highlight duplicates, but I can't figure out the logical test. I'm looking for rows that match three criteria:
Product value is duplicate
Product value is not blank
Duplicate 'Product' values occur with different 'Location' values
(Products with the same value in the same location are assumed to be distinct for a value I don't have, but products with the same name at different locations may be duplicate).
Edit: I want the formula to evaluate to true only if the same Product occurs in more than one Location.
I can figure out the first two conditions by themselves, but can't figure out how to incorporate the third. I've sorted the table so that the duplicate values should appear next to each other, but there are too many to check by eye.
I'm currently using this logical test for conditional formatting using the first two criteria. 'Product' occurs in column C, 'Location' occurs in column I.
=AND(C1<>"",COUNTIF($C:$C,C1)>1)
Given your criteria, I think what you need would be the CountIfs function for the 3rd criteria....
Your final formula would look as follows:
=AND($C1<>"",COUNTIF($C:$C,$C1)>1, COUNTIFS($C:$C,$C1,$I:$I,"<>" & $I1)>0)
In effect, your third criteria is saying Count if the product matches C1 AND the Location does NOT equal I1
Hope that does the trick!
NOTE:
The more I think about it, the more I'm pretty sure you do not need your second criteria... I've been trying to think of an example where your second criteria would affect the result of this final outcome, but can't find one....
Just something to consider....
It might be overkill, but how comfortable are you with PivotTables?
Insert a pivot table, and put the "Product" in the row, with the data as the "count" of Location.
Then add a column with a formula similar to:
=GETPIVOTDATA("Location", <top left cell of pivottable> ,"Product", <cell that has product you want a count of>)
The "Location" and "Product" text would have to match your column titles.
The easiest way to get the forumla right is to type "=" in the cell you want to have the value in, and then click on the pivot table cell that contains the value. You then replace the static text, with the cell that has the value you want to look up.

Excel: If Cell in Column = text value of X, then display text (in the same row, but different column) on another sheet

This is a confusing request.
I have an excel tab with a lot of data, for now I'll focus on 3 points of that data.
Team
Quarter
Task Name
In one tab I have a long list of this data displaying all the tasks for all the teams and what Quarter they will be on.
I WANT to load another tab, and take that data (from the original tab) and insert it into a non-list format. So I would have Quarters 1,2,3,4 as columns going across the screen, and Team Groups going down. I want each "task" that is labeled as Q1 to know to list in the Q1 section of that Teams "Block"
So something like this: "If Column A=TeamA,AND Quarter=Q1, then insert Task Name ... here."
Basically, if the formula = true, I want to print a list of those items within that team section of the excel document.
I'd like to be able to add/move things around at the data level, and have things automatically shift in the Display tab. I honestly have no idea where to start.
If there is never a possibility that there could be more that 1 task for a given team and quarter, then you can use a formula solution.
Given a data setup like this (in a sheet named 'Sheet1'):
And expected results like this (in a different sheet):
The formula in cell B2 and copied over and down is:
=IFERROR(INDEX(Sheet1!$C$2:$C$7,MATCH(1,INDEX((Sheet1!$A$2:$A$7=$A2)*(Sheet1!$B$2:$B$7=B$1),),0)),"")
I came across this situation. When I have to insert the values into a table from an Excel sheet I need all information in 1 Column instead of 2 multiple rows. In Excel my Data looks like:
ProductID----OrderID
9353510---- 1212259
9650934---- 1381676
9572474---- 1381677
9632365---- 1374217
9353182---- 1212260
9353182---- 1219361
9353182---- 1212815
9353513---- 1130308
9353320---- 1130288
9360957---- 1187479
9353077---- 1104558
9353077---- 1130926
9353124---- 1300853
I wanted single row for each product in shape of
(ProductID,'OrdersIDn1,OrderIDn2,.....')
For quick solution I fix it with a third column ColumnC to number the Sale of Product
=IF(A2<>A1,1,IF(A2=A1,C1+1,1))
and fourth Column D as a placeholder to concatenate with previous row value of same product:
=IF(A2=A1,D1+","&TEXT(B2,"########"),TEXT(B2,"########"))
Then Column E is the final column I required to hide/blank out duplicate row values and keep only the correct one:
=IF(A2<>A3,"("&A2&",'"&D2&"'),","")
Final Output required is only from Column E
ProductID Order Id Sno PlaceHolder Required Column
9353510 1212259 1 1212259 (9353510,'1212259'),
9650934 1381676 1 1381676 (9650934,'1381676'),
9572474 1381677 1 1381677 (9572474,'1381677'),
9632365 1374217 1 1374217 (9632365,'1374217'),
9353182 1212260 1 1212260
9353182 1219361 2 1212260,1219361
9353182 1212815 3 1212260,1219361,1212815 (9353182,'1212260,1219361,1212815'),
9353513 1130308 1 1130308 (9353513,'1130308'),
9353320 1130288 1 1130288 (9353320,'1130288'),
9360957 1187479 1 1187479 (9360957,'1187479'),
9353077 1104558 1 1104558
9353077 1130926 2 1104558,1130926 (9353077,'1104558,1130926')
You will notice that final values are only with the Maximum Number of ProductSno which I need to avoid duplication ..
In Your case Product could be Team and Order could be Quarter and Output could be
(Team,Q1,Q2,....),
Based on my understanding of your summary above, you want to put non-numerical data into a grid of teams and quarters.
The offset worksheet function will work well for this in conjunction with the match or vlookup functions. I have often done this task by doing the following steps.
In my data table, I have to concatenate the Team and quarter columns so I have a unique lookup value at the leftmost column of your table (Note: you can eventually hide this for ease of reading).
Note: You will want to name the input range for best formula management. Ideally use an Excel Table (2007 or greater) or create a dynamically named range with the offset and CountA functions working together (http://tinyurl.com/yfhfsal)
First, VLOOKUP arguments are VLOOKUP(Lookup_Value,Table_Array,Col_Index_num,[Range Lookup]) See http://tinyurl.com/22t64x7
In the first cell of your output area you would have a VLOOKUP formula that would look like this
=Vlookup(TeamName&Quarter,Input_List,Column#_Where_Tasks_Are,False)
The Lookup value should be referencing cells where you have the team names and quarter names listed down the sides and across the top. The input list is from the sheet you have the data stored. The number three represents the column number the tasks are listed in your source data, and the False tells the function it will only use an exact match in your putput.
