So this is the simplified question I broke down from a former question I had here: Excel help on combination of Index - match and sumifs? .
For this one, I have Table1 (the black-gray one) with two or more columns for adjustments for various order numbers. See this image below:
What I want to achieve is to have total adjustments for those order numbers that contain the numbers in Total Adjustment column in the blue table, each of which will depend on the cell beside it.
Example: Order number 17051 has two products: 17051A (Apple) and 17051B (Orange).
Now what I want to achieve in cell C10 is the sum of adjustment for both 17051A and 17051B, which will be: Apple Adjustment (5000) + Orange Adjustment (4500) = 9500.
The formula I used below (and in the image) kept giving me error messages, and this happens even before I add the adjustment for Orange.
=SUMIF(Text(LEFT(Table1[Order Number],5),"00000"),text(B10,"00000"),Table1[Apple Adjustment])
I have spent the whole day looking for a solution for this and didn’t even come close to find any. Any suggestion is appreciated.
Assuming your headers always have the text "adjustment" in them, you could use:
=SUMPRODUCT((LEFT($B$4:$B$7,5)=B10&"")*(RIGHT($C$3:$F$3,10)="adjustment")*$C$4:$F$7)
In C10 you could add two sumproducts. This assumes that products are always 5 numbers long at the start. If not swop the 5 to use the length of the product reference part you are matching on.
=SUMPRODUCT(--(1*LEFT($B$4:$B$7,5)=$B10),$D$4:$D$7)+SUMPRODUCT(--(1*LEFT($B$4:$B$7,5)=$B10),$F$4:$F$7)
Which with table syntax is:
=SUMPRODUCT(--(1*LEFT(Table1[Order Number],5)=$B10),Table1[Apple Adjustment])+SUMPRODUCT(--(1*LEFT(Table1[Order Number],5)=$B10),Table1[Orange Adjustment])
Using LEN
=SUMPRODUCT(--(1*LEFT(Table1[Order Number],LEN($B10))=$B10),Table1[Apple Adjustment])+SUMPRODUCT(--(1*LEFT(Table1[Order Number],LEN($B10))=$B10),Table1[Orange Adjustment])
I am multiplying by 1 to ensure Left, 5 becomes numeric.

Hello!
Is it possible to have Excel find the largest two, three or four cell total within its data? For example, dates are entered as 2000, 2001, 2002, etc in column A and in column B, there's another figure, HRs. I have my document sorted by dates (columnA) and now want to see the most HRs hit over two seasons. This seems very useful and utilized in data but still under-realized.
-Most touchdowns over a two-season stretch. (most touchdowns over a THREE season stretch etc.)
-Highest-grossing 3-month stretch.
-Rainiest two days ever
-Most speeding tickets issued in two days.
-Largest two-day Jeopardy winnings.
-ETC
Can I search through an excel document and see the largest 2-day rainfall as described? Something similar to "Find All" in excel but for consecutive cells, though, that doesn't find largest I suppose. It'd be cool, if you could drag a range, say 3 cells tall, within a larger range, and Excel could find that largest totals in that larger range.
I doubt this is possible---but surely there is a way data scientists or just newspapers can organize data to find the largest total over a certain stretch? (most HR over a 5-season stretch) How could I do this? Maybe this requires a program for SQL or something? Thank you.

This seems close, but just finds the two largest figures----not the two largest consecutive figures, which is what I'm looking for.
Using offset ranges:
=MAX(B2:B12+B3:B13)
or subtotal/offset combo:
=MAX(SUBTOTAL(9,OFFSET(B1,ROW(B1:B11),0,2,1)))
(the first one gets cumbersome when extended to 3,4,5... adjacent cells)
must be entered as array formulas using CtrlShiftEnter
EDIT
If you wanted to find the first, second etc. largest pair you could use Large instead of Max:
=LARGE(B$2:B$12+B$3:B$13,ROW()-1)
or
=LARGE(SUBTOTAL(9,OFFSET(B$1,ROW(B$1:B$11),0,2,1)),ROW()-1)
and then to find the year, use Index/match:
=INDEX(A$2:A$12,MATCH(F2,SUBTOTAL(9,OFFSET(B$1,ROW(B$1:B$11),0,2,1)),0))
The only drawback of this is that if there were two pairs giving the same maximum of 84 say, the index/match would still match the year of the first one. This can be addressed but maybe that is enough for now.
I would like to tell, with a smaller number of columns.
Let's say we have a sum of 24 and we want to distribute it randomly into 10 separate columns. we should get such a result as below I wrote.
Is there a formula in Excel like this?
Thanks in advance.
Ok. Here is what I would do...
For each required split, select a random number between zero and the remainder of the distribution qty, multiplied by the percentage of how many splits have already been calculated. This prevents the first few splits being very high, and the rest being zero.
I would also add a check for the very last split to make sure that it equals whatever is left of the original distribution qty.
Here is an image for illustration and the formula that I have used:
=IF($A2=MAX($A:$A),$F$1-SUM($B$1:$B1),RANDBETWEEN(0,($F$1-SUM($B$1:$B1))*($A2/MAX($A:$A))))
Hopefully, this isn't too complex to understand. If you need further explanation, please let me know.
You can simply change the distribution qty in the yellow box, and if you want more splits, all you need to do is drag down columns A & B to the required number.
Good day everyone - I am trying to create a grade sheet for my swimming classes at school. It needs to be based on a few criteria - 1. boys/girls, 2. What stroke, 3. Time swum
I have a column for Time swum and a column with a dropdown of boys freestyle, girls freestyle etc to choose from. Then a criteria table where you get 30 point for swim x time less for each stroke for boys and girls. I was trying to use index match - but that will only return one of the strokes. As seen in the image - I need Column X to return the Points from column AB based on Column T dropdown selection, based on the range of the table with all the stroke times.
I've gotten this far : =index(AB2:AB6,MATCH(S2,AG2:AG6,1)), but that assumes all are swimming backstroke and all are girls.
I am hoping I am explaining this effectively enough.
Thanks in advance for the help.
You can use OFFSET to move the column you are matchin to the right. Also my understanding is that is for example in column "Freestyle Girls" someone reaches time 50 she should be put into line 55 - Grade A, 25 Points. If so you will need to do this:
1) reverse order of your data lines - if you want to use MATCH with last parameter "-1" (returns lowest value greater or equal to lookup value) for time (when you reach 50, you are worse then 40 so you will go to line with 55) you will need to have the values in descending order so the grades will go D to A* instead of A* to D.
2) use formula
=IFERROR(INDEX(AB:AB,MATCH(S2,OFFSET(AB:AB,0,MATCH(T2,AC1:AF1,0)),-1)),AB2)
Basically what it does is this:
OFFSET(AB:AB,0,MATCH(T2,AC1:AF1,0))
this moves the search column for the final MATCH to match the style you select
INDEX(AB:AB,MATCH(S2,OFFSET(...),-1))
this is standard search like you tried, only the OFFSET is inside so it looks in correct column.
As there is no value above Grade D it would cause error if somone nearly drowned and took 100 to finish so you need IFERROR to make sure it correct that.
Note: this assumes that value in T matches the values in the column names AC-AH. It your example the word order seems flipped. Also I put into my formula only 4 different styles so you will need to change the part stating AC1:AF1 to contain all the styles
I have an excel table:
JobA .03445
JobB .01366
JobC .93271
JobD .6335
Plus 65,000 more.
What I need to do, is to create four equal buckets based on the values. where the sum of all Jobs in each bucket come as close to the other three buckets as possible.
Is there a way to do this in Excel?
Thanks
You can try this approach based on the incremental percentage. So you sum each incremental job until your sum reaches 25% of total values (that is BucketA), jobs from 25-50% will be "BucketB", 50-75% "BucketC", and rest will go into "BucketD". Sum of values in each bucket should be pretty close since you have 65k of values.
enter this formula
=IF(SUM($B$2:B2)/SUM($B$2:$B$100000)<0.25,"BucketA",IF(SUM($B$2:B2)/SUM($B$2:$B$100000)<0.5,"BucketB",IF(SUM($B$2:B2)/SUM($B$2:$B$100000)<0.75,"BucketC","BucketD")))
in cell C1 and drag it to the bottom.
There's lots of studies into algorithms that solve these types of problems. Your problem is actually the exact same format as the equal piles example in this article:
https://simple.wikipedia.org/wiki/P_versus_NP#Example
Considering the volume you're working with and the fairly narrow range of values, you could get a fairly good approximate solution by simply doing this:
Sort all items in descending order by value
In an adjacent column, put 1, 2, 3 and 4 against the first 4 values.
Use autofill to repeat that pattern against all values
You should now have 4 groups of fairly equal value
I'm involved with a youth football tournament on the referee side, with assessing/coaching the referees. I've just taken over doing the data entry for the referees assessment scores which we then use to determine who gets finals etc and am looking to extract more usable information from the data to help us identify trends.
I've got (up to) 200 referees, each receiving from none to two assessment scores each day for 5 days. The scores are entered as both the raw mark and the weighted mark based on match difficulty (along with a host of other data about the match that isn't relevant to this issue.
I can extract the average mark (raw and weighted) across all referees without issues and have done so using the below formula, which is the raw average mark:
=AVERAGE(Working!AK4:AK200,Working!BK4:BK200,Working!CL4:CL200,Working!DL4:DL200,Working!EM4:EM200,Working!FM4:FM200,Working!GN4:GN200,Working!HN4:HN200,Working!IO4:IO200,Working!JO4:JO200)
But I also want to extract the average mark (raw and weighted) across two subsets - Academy and non academy referees, to help plot trends and determine where resources need to be utilised.
I've attempted to use an AVERAGEIF formula, but am getting a #VALUE! return. This is the formula that I've attempted to use to return the average raw mark for those referees in the academy:
=AVERAGEIF(Working!G4:G200,Working!G4:G200="Yes",(Working!AK4:AK200,Working!BK4:BK200,Working!CL4:CL200,Working!DL4:DL200,Working!EM4:EM200,Working!FM4:FM200,Working!GN4:GN200,Working!HN4:HN200,Working!IO4:IO200,Working!JO4:JO200))
If I do the same formula as above, but without the brackets around the [average_range], I get a 'you've used too many arguments, and it highlights BK200.
From what I've been able to find so far online, it seems that the formula I'm trying to use would only work if ALL the cells in (Working!G4:G200) returned "Yes". However if there are only 50 academy referees as indicated by "Yes" in G column, then I want those specific scores to be averaged, and the inverse for the non-academy referees.
I thought about having another sheet, which would simply contain populate from Column G (a simple =G4 and then populated down to =G200 next to all of the scores), consolidated into a block of raw marks columned under Assessment 1, 2, 3, 4.... and then the same for all of the weighted marks which would populate from the equivalent cell on the working sheet, but there's a lot of filtering, and re-sorting that goes on on the working sheet, and I'm not 100% certain that that wouldn't cause issues.
Any feedback on how to work through this problem, so that I can display the overall average mark for academy and non-academy referees in both raw and weighted form would be much appreciated, and I apologize if this post is rather convoluted.
I don't think there is a neat solution if the scores are in several columns which are not consecutive.
My suggestion is:-
(1) Work out the sum for each column separately and total them up
(2) Work out the count for each column separately and total them up
(3) Divide Sum by Count to get Average.
In my small example below with 3 referees and 3 columns:-
(1) In K2:-
=SUMIF(H2:H4,"Yes",B2:B4)+SUMIF(H2:H4,"Yes",D2:D4)+SUMIF(H2:H4,"Yes",F2:F4)
(2) In K3:-
=COUNTIFS(B2:B4,">=0",H2:H4,"Yes")+COUNTIFS(D2:D4,">=0",H2:H4,"Yes")+COUNTIFS(F2:F4,">=0",H2:H4,"Yes")
(3) In K4:
=K2/K3
This would include any zero scores (if this is possible) but exclude any blanks.
You can then scale it up to your data.
Beyond this, you would have to change the data structure either
(1) Add a row to label the columns that you want to average e.g.
Score 1 Score 2 Score 3
3 0 3
so you could pick up only the columns labelled 3 say
Here's how it would be in my small example:-
In K3:-
=SUM((B$2:F$2=3)*($H3:$H5="Yes")*B3:F5)
Which is an array formula and must be entered with Ctrl-Shift-Enter
In K4:-
=SUM((B$2:F$2=3)*($H3:$H5="Yes")*(B3:F5<>""))
another array formula
In K5:-
=K3/K4
This is how the columns you want are labelled with a 3 in row 2, so it ignores the other columns:-
(2) Consolidate them into another sheet as you suggest.
