I have no idea what is wrong with my formula and I would like to learn from my mistakes:
I have a range of values, say A1:A100, and I want to count the number of times a value from 0 to 10 appears, 10 - 20 appears etc. and put it into a frequency table.
I am put value 0 and 10 in cells B1 and C1 respectively, 10 and 20 in B2 and C2 respectively etc. (i.e. the frequency table is from columns B to D)
In D1, my formula is:
=COUNTIF($A$1:$A$100,AND(">="&B1,"<="&C1)
However, this formula doesn't seem to work and always returns 0. It would be greatly appreciated if anyone can enlighten me on why my formula doesn't work. Thanks in advance!
Use COUNTIFS for multiple conditions.
=COUNTIFS($A$1:$A$100, ">="&B1, $A$1:$A$100, "<="&C1)

I've got a pretty complex conditional formula that works for each row of a column (sorry, no excel 2016 IFS) and I would like to get the sum of all instances in a range in one formula without having to make all the rows as a middle step.
Done this quite a bit with other stuff, but for some reason I'm stuck on this one.
The formula per cell is:
=IF((IF(IF(AND(ISNUMBER(Test_Samples!B2),Test_Samples!B2>0.1),Reference_Dataset!$H:$H,"")="N",Test_Samples!B2,0)<1),0,IF(IF(IF(AND(ISNUMBER(Test_Samples!B2),Test_Samples!B2>0.1),Reference_Dataset!$H:$H,"")="N",Test_Samples!B2,0)<2,1,IF(IF(IF(AND(ISNUMBER(Test_Samples!B2),Test_Samples!B2>0.1),Reference_Dataset!$H:$H,"")="N",Test_Samples!B2,0)<5,2,IF(IF(IF(AND(ISNUMBER(Test_Samples!B2),Test_Samples!B2>0.1),Reference_Dataset!$H:$H,"")="N",Test_Samples!B2,0)<13,3,IF(IF(IF(AND(ISNUMBER(Test_Samples!B2),Test_Samples!B2>0.1),Reference_Dataset!$H:$H,"")="N",Test_Samples!B2,0)<34,4,IF(IF(IF(AND(ISNUMBER(Test_Samples!B2),Test_Samples!B2>0.1),Reference_Dataset!$H:$H,"")="N",Test_Samples!B2,0)<91,5,IF(IF(IF(AND(ISNUMBER(Test_Samples!B2),Test_Samples!B2>0.1),Reference_Dataset!$H:$H,"")="N",Test_Samples!B2,0)<245,6,IF(IF(IF(AND(ISNUMBER(Test_Samples!B2),Test_Samples!B2>0.1),Reference_Dataset!$H:$H,"")="N",Test_Samples!B2,0)<666,7,))))))))
I would like to transform it to a formula that sums everything from the range B:B (or B2:B499) in one go.
I tried some SUM and SUMIF(S) stuff and changing B2 to B:B. That doesn't seem to work.
Oh, if someone has a tip to reduce the nested IF formula to something more readable, that's welcome as well. The idea of the formula is to transform counts to classes.
The datasets that are referred to look like this:
Test_Samples:
Reference_Dataset:
The If statements make up a classification as follows:
0= 0
1= 1
2= 2-4
3= 5-12
4= 13-33
5= 34-90
6= 91-244
7= 245-665
8= 666+
Here you see a count of 2 in "Test_samples", and it is labelled "N" in "Reference_dataset", so the result classifies it as "2" (to avoid confusion: if the count was 5 it would be labelled "3" according to the class criteria).
Say if there are 5 instances with result "2" in the range B2:B499, the sum should be 10.
Create a lookup table like this for your "result value < X" to summarize the If statements into a single lookup table:
Test_Samples B Value
0
1
2
5
13
34
91
245
666
In this example, i've put that on the same worksheet that the formula is placed, in cells A1:A10 (header in A1, so data values in A2:A10). Then you can simplify your formula and make it reference the range of your data like this:
=SUM(MATCH(IF(ISNUMBER(Test_Samples!$B$2:$B$499)*(Reference_Dataset!$H$2:$H$499="N"),Test_Samples!$B$2:$B$499,0),$A$2:$A$10)-1)
Note that this is an array formula and as such must be confirmed with CtrlShiftEnter (instead of just Enter).
I want to use the Max/Min function to calculate the minimum number up to the current row, but not count anything after that row. See example below:
A B C
1 10 =MIN(A1:A1) I Want B1 to only count MIN from A1 to A1 from here, then
2 14 =MIN(A1:A2) from here I want B2 to count MIN from A1 to A2,
3 9 =MIN(A1:A3) Then A1 to A3,
4 6 =MIN(A1:A4) etc,
5 14 =MIN(A1:A5) etc.
I could go back and update each row manually, but I have over 700 rows that I want all this to apply to. Is there anyone who can help me with a solution to this problem?
Use this formula in B1, and copy downwards:
=MIN($A$1:$A1)
This is called maintaining referential integrity while writing any excel formula. It should give the desired result on copy towards right or downwards.
I'm trying to calculate the count of multiple occurrences of a figure using countif.
I have the range set but I need a calculation which can count in multiples of 50 without me having to type thousands of versions of countif (=COUNTIF(B2:B5,">=50")-COUNTIF(B2:B5,">100" etc.).
Data Count
50 1
70 1
80 1
10 0
150 3
This data should show 6 but at the moment I'm getting 4.
First you can start by making bins. you can make it with Data analysis tool or half manual
Like in the example, on A2 enter 0 and on b2 enter =a2+50
Same goes for a3 enter =b2 and last on a4 =a3+50
Now you can drag it down as much as you like.
Instaed of using countif use sumif finction. let's assume your data is on cloumn H and the values you want to sum are in column I, then on c2 enter
=SUMIFS(I:I,H:H,">"&A2,H:H,"<="&B2)
you can drag it down as much as you like.
Simply use Excels ROUNDDOWN function:
e.g. for B2: =ROUNDDOWN(A2/50,0)
Working a step higher then COUNTIFS, I appose a challenge to write a formula without VBA code. The basic data is combined from 1000s of rows with:
Column A: rows with values from 1 to 3
Column B: rows with values from 1 to 250.
For this purpose lets say, we are looking at all cells of value "1" in column A, that suit value "5" in column B. To find all matches, we'd use COUNTIFS command.
1 1
2 5
1 5
1 7
1 10
3 45
2 12
1 2
2 1
=COUNTIFS(A1:A9;1;B1:B9;5)
The answer here is 1.
Next thing, the "5" in column B belongs to a group, e.g. group from 1 to 9. What would the best way be, to count all the matches in this example, so that for all "1"'s in column A, we'd have to find all matches with values from 1 to 9 in column B?! In the upper example that would result in "4". The obvious solution is with a series of IF commands, but that's unefficient and it easy to make a mistake, that get's easily overseen.
=COUNTIFS(A1:A9;1;B1:B9;"<="&9)
Works only as the upper limit. If I give the third criteria range and condition as ">="&1 it does not work - returns 0.
Gasper
Where the data is in A1:B9, using a lookup table in D1:E10 with letters A-J in column D and numbers 0 to 9 in column E and the following formula in B11 referencing letters entered in A11 and A12:
=COUNTIFS(A1:A9,1,B1:B9,">="&VLOOKUP(A11,$D$1:$E$10,2,FALSE),B1:B9,"<="&VLOOKUP(A12,$D$1:$E$10,2,FALSE))
works, changing the letters in A11 and A12 gives the correct count according to what they correspond to in the looku in D1:E10.
When you say give third criteria range do you mean:
=COUNTIFS(A1:A9;1;B1:B9;"<="&9,B1:B9;">=1")
If so then try:
=COUNTIFS(A1:A9;1;B1:B9;AND("<="&9,;">=1"))
ie have two conditional ranges with the second range having both conditions combined with AND()
Maybe what you want(ed) is:
=COUNTIFS(A:A;1;B:B;">=1";B:B;"<=9")
Almost there. I noticed that three criteria ranges and conditions work only if I use "=" sign in a condition. As soon as I use
=COUNTIFS(A1:A9;1;B1:B9;"<="&9,B1:B9;">=1")
it returns 0. My goal is to eventualy replace the number in a condition with a VLOOKUP command, so the final equation should be smth like
=COUNTIFS(A1:A9;1;B1:B9;"<="&VLOOKUP(...),B1:B9;">=VLOOKUP(...)")
But the "<" and ">" signs mess with this. Still looking for a solution.
This is my entire line, if it offers any further indication. The AND() commands is at the end - and it still results in 0
=COUNTIFS(INDIRECT(CONCATENATE("baza!$";SUBSTITUTE(ADDRESS(1;MATCH("card_type_id";baza!$A$1:$AAA$1;0);4);"1";"");"$2:$";SUBSTITUTE(ADDRESS(1;MATCH("card_type_id";baza!$A$1:$AAA$1;0);4);"1";"");"$15000"));IF(C6="računska";1;0);INDIRECT(CONCATENATE("baza!$";SUBSTITUTE(ADDRESS(1;MATCH(IF($C$4="CC_SI_klasifikacija";"building_classification_id";0);baza!$A$1:$AAA$1;0);4);"1";"");"$2:$";SUBSTITUTE(ADDRESS(1;MATCH(IF($C$4="CC_SI_klasifikacija";"building_classification_id";0);baza!$A$1:$AAA$1;0);4);"1";"");"$15000"));AND("<="&VLOOKUP($C$5;$K$203:$N$223;4;FALSE);">="&VLOOKUP($C$5;$K$203:$N$223;3;FALSE)))
A B
1 5
2 10
2 15
3 20
I want to calculate percentile for a column of values B if A is equal say 2. That's I want to get range of B2,B3 and calculate percentile of this.
So basically the question is: how do I select range in one column with the checking with another column?
I.e. it works perfectly with SumIf and CountIf, I just need the same with PercentileIf. Thx!
This will give you the 25th percentile of A1:A6 for all cells where the value in B1:B6 equals 2:
=PERCENTILE.INC(IF(B1:B6=2,A1:A6,""),0.25)
It's an array formula and must be entered with Ctrl-Shift-Enter.
