Hello I will have table going from C7 to the AG7, that will have values like: G20 B34 P55 O33. I need to sum those numbers, but i don't know how to Ignore Letters G B P and O, also I have empty cells with no value. The end result should be 142.
Id like to Sum those numbers in AI7 column.
Is this possible I've looked everywhere couldn't find what I need.
Use this array formula:
=SUM(IFERROR(--MID(C7:AG7,2,5),0))
Being an array formula it must be confirmed with Ctrl-Shift-Enter instead of Enter when exiting edit mode.
If you wish to use a helper row, then you could consider this, which extracts the numbers by avoiding the first character :
Related
=(Countifs(B:B;”*”;F:F;”<>*1”))
Why doesn't this work?
I want to count all the rows in the sheet, except the ones that has a number that ends with 1 in column F. It just count all the rows, even the ones in column F that ends with 1.
How do I exclude those?
edit
Some more information!
This is a sample of the data:
Could be up to 8000 rows some days. Column B always says "Independent instruction" so I'm using that as a base to count all the rows. Column F contain only numbers, or blank cells (meaning a number will be added later). I still want to count those rows as well (that's blank). It's just the rows that has a number in column F that ends with 1 that I want to exclude!
SUMPRODUCT gives a bit more flexibility for criteria that involve more than straightforward string-matching:
=SUMPRODUCT(--(LEN($B:$B)>0),--(RIGHT($F:$F,1)<>"1"))
The array formula:
{=COUNT(IF((F:F<>"")*(MOD(F:F;10)<>1);F:F))}
will count all non empty cells in the conditions of your question.
Don't forget to press Ctrl+Shift+Enter to place the formula.
Why doesn't this work?
Apart from the fact that you have transcribed it incorrectly (i.e. missing =, and smart quotes ”) the 'F' condition in quotes is a Text value, a formatting issue #BigBen has mentioned in connection with the 'B' values.
You say It just count all the rows so, syntactically corrected, your formula must be working on (a) all 'B's populated (with Text) and (b) all 'F's Numeric. As 1 and "1" are not the same, none of your entries in ColumnF will be excluded by your attempt (none end in "1", though presumably some do end in 1).
#Pspl's A works because its condition (for the 'F's) is based on MOD (applies to Number format values) and #jsheeran's A (my preference) because RIGHT is a string function that returns Text format even from a Number format value.
Put another way, with say 1 in F1, =F1="1" returns FALSE (so =F1<>"1" and =F1<>"*1" return TRUE - that would not suit you) whereas =RIGHT(F1)="1" returns TRUE (or, to suit you, RIGHT(F1)<>"1" returns FALSE).
You can try to use a combination of SUM and IF. Remember to adjust the formula to match your Excel formatting, i.e. replace commas (,) with semicolon (;).
This is an array formula (enter with Ctrl+Shift+Enter)
=SUM(IF(MOD($F$2:$F$25,10)<>1,1,0))
Result (updated with your data set):
When pasting the image into merged cells, the error looks like that:
So you need to make sure the formula is pasted into a single (not merged) cell.
Array formula for values greater than 1000:
=SUM(IF((MOD($F$2:$F$25,10)<>1)*($F$2:$F$25>1000),1,0))
Array formula for values less than 1000:
=SUM(IF((MOD($F$2:$F$25,10)<>1)*($F$2:$F$25<1000),1,0))
Example:
So I have two lists in excel.
The first list is made up of large strings.
The second list is made up of smaller strings.
I need to check the first list, to see if any of the strings in the second list are contained in each cell.
Is there an excel formula for that?
I can look up each one individually with an isnumber formula
=IF(ISNUMBER(SEARCH("*dog*",A1)),"dog","No Dog")
but I have a few hundred to go through, so if I can do something like a VLOOKUP that would be better.
For example if one cell in 1st list contacts "Bored" and the second list contains the first 4 letters of the alphabet (a,b,c,d) then a "true" value" of some such would be fine. Then I'd want to check the second cell in the list, and if that was "Tempest" than a "False" value is what I would need, and so on and so on down the list.
With phrases in column A and keywords in column B, in D1 enter the array formula:
=LEN(TEXTJOIN(",",TRUE,IF(ISNUMBER(SEARCH(B$1:B$10,A1)),B$1:B$10,"")))>0
Array formulas must be entered with Ctrl + Shift + Enter rather than just the Enter key. If this is done correctly, the formula will appear with curly braces around it in the Formula Bar.
NOTE:
the core of this formula:
=TEXTJOIN(",",TRUE,IF(ISNUMBER(SEARCH(B$1:B$10,A1)),B$1:B$10,""))
actually lists the key words:
EDIT#1:
If your version of Excel does not support TEXTJOIN() then use this array formula:
=LEN(IFERROR(INDEX(B:B,MATCH(TRUE,ISNUMBER(SEARCH($B$1:$B$10,A1)),0)),""))>0
or this non-array formula:
=SUMPRODUCT(--ISNUMBER(SEARCH($B$1:$B$10,A1)))>0
Personally I prefer to do a COUNTIF against the range + a cell concatenated with wildcards:
=COUNTIF(A1:A6,CONCATENATE("*"&B1&"*"))
If you need it to return a boolean then you can use:
=IF(COUNTIF(A1:A6,CONCATENATE("*"&B1&"*")) > 0, TRUE, FALSE)
Do you know any way to write a formula for vlookup/indexmatch which will look for first result other than "null" for "aaaa", and then for bbb etc?
I was trying to do that with using multiple if/offsets etc, but its not working.
Is it even possible (there can be one row with "aaa" but also 10 on even more).
The following array formula returns the first entry in column B where it is not null and also where column A has cell value aaaaa.
= IFERROR(INDEX(B1:B6,MATCH(1,(A1:A6="aaaaa")*(B1:B6<>"null"),0)),"no match")
Note this is an array formula, so you must press Ctrl+Shift+Enter on the keyboard after typing the formula rather than just pressing Enter.
To return a similar result except for bbbbb, just replace aaaaa in the above formula with bbbbb.
I have a scenario where I want my Microsoft excel field to have the same length of the longest word in the column.
Basically lets say if I have:
ACBBASDBBADSAD
BADFDFDDF
So here I want to have the second word with less characters to have white spaces at its end to match the length of the first word.
=&" " this definitely helps but I am unable to achieve the above scenario
Consider this screenshot:
In column B the length of each cell of column A is established with the formula =len(A1) copied down.
Cell D2 has the range name MaximumLength and the formula =max(B:B).
With that in place, you can create the padded values with this formula in cell G1, copied down:
=A1&REPT("*",MaximumLength-LEN(A1))
If you don't want to use the helper column and helper cell, you can use this array formula instead:
=A2&REPT("*",MAX(LEN(A1:A15))-LEN(A2))
This formula must be confirmed with Ctrl-Shift-Enter. It is advisable to use defined ranges, not whole columns in array formulas, hence the range in LEN(A1:A15). Adjust as desired.
I've used the "*" character so it is visible. Replace it with a space " " in your scenario.
You can add this formula to count maximum characters and use on some cell, because you will need to press a command for it to work, so every cell can't contain this formula, let's say it is on Z1:
=MAX(LEN($A:$A))
Certify to press ctrl+shift+enter on the formula
Then you use this formula on your cells:=REPT(" ";Z1-LEN(A2))&A2

I'm trying to find in a list the lowest unique value.
I tried to find out a way on google, but nothing seem to work like I want.
What i have :
John;5
Leon;7
Mark;5
Bob;3
Peter;3
Louis:4
Desired result: "4" because it's the lower unique value.
Suppose I add in the original list:
Alex;4
The new result is about to be "7" because it's the new lowest unique value.
my excel sheet :
Assuming your data is setup so that names are in column A and values are in column B so that it looks like this:
In cell D2 (or wherever you want the result), use this array formula (Note that array formulas must be confirmed with CTRLSHIFTENTER and not just ENTER):
=MIN(IF(COUNTIF(B2:B20,B2:B20)=1,B2:B20))
You'll know you've entered it as an array formula correctly because you'll see it surrounded by curly braces {=formula}in the formula bar. Do NOT add the curly braces manually.
You'll also notice that I have extra rows in there than just the used rows. Normally I'd suggest using a dynamic named range, but this works for now. So when you add the new line of Alex; 4, you get this:
And you can see the formula now has the new correct value of 7.
With data in columns A and B, in C1 enter:
=COUNTIF(B:B,B1)
and copy down. Then in another cell enter the array formula:
=MIN(IF(C:C=1,B:B))
Array formulas must be entered with Ctrl + Shift + Enter rather than just the Enter key.
To avoid speed problems, make the limits on the ranges as small as possible:
=MIN(IF(C1:C6=1,B1:B6))
