I want to highlight only 2 cells, 1 above and 1 below, closest to the relative value.
For example, my relative value is cell A5, I want A2 and A4 to be highlighted.
A
1 7
2 6
3 -2
4 1
5 5
I tried conditional formatting =ISNUMBER(MATCH(ABS(A$5-A1),SMALL(ABS(A$5-A$1:A$4),ROW($1:$2)),0)). However, it highlights 2 cells that are closest to the relative value, regardless of direction/magnitude. In this case, A1 and A2 were highlighted.
Next smallest:
=(A1=LARGE(IF($A$1:$A$5<A$5,$A$1:$A$5),1))
Next largest:
=(A1=SMALL(IF($A$1:$A$5>A$5,$A$1:$A$5),1))
However if there's a tie then all matches would be highlighted.

I can't seem to find anything similar that's already been asked (they all relate to incrementing row numbers rather than columns)
I'm looking to drag a formula across horizontally and have the columns increment by 2
E.g. B1-A1, D1-C1, F1-E1...
Thanks!
You'll need to have a value in cell A1 and B1 for the following to work.
For my testing I put the number 1 in A1 and B1.
Try this in Cell C1:
=IF(MOD(COUNT($A$1:B1),2)=0,COLUMN(B1),IF(B1<>A1,B1,A1))
Here's what you should see when you drag that formula across:
A B C D E F G H I J K L M N
1 1 2 2 4 4 6 6 8 8 10 10 12 12
And this is what the formula does:
The MOD(COUNT() part of the formula counts the cells to the left of it, and if they are a multiple of 2, the value changes.
I've left the value to change to (the 'new' value) as the COLUMN() number for the cell before, just for example's sake. but you can change this part.
The last IF statement at the end checks if the cell before is equal to the cell before that, (eg. Is CELL C1 equal to CELL B1) and if they are not equal, it will give the cell before as a value (the 'copy' value).
I have the following Excel spreadsheet:
A B C D
1 0 0.99 Minimum: 6
2 1 0.99 Input: 3
3 2 2.99 Result: 4.99
4 3 2.99
5 4 4.99
6 5 4.99
7 6 7.99
8 7 7.99
9 8 9.99
10 9 9.99
The formula in cell D3 is:
=LARGE(B$1:B$10,COUNTIF(B$1:B$10,">"&D2))
This formula selects the next highest number in the array in
Column B based on the input in cell D3.
For example:
If the input in cell D3 is 3 it will select
4.99 instead of 2.99.
All this works perfectly with the formula in cell D3.
However, now I want to insert a minimum criteria into this system
in cell D1.
For example: If the minimum is 6 the formula in cell D3 should notice it
and select 7.99 instead of 4.99.
Do you have any idea how to solve this issue?
Is there a way to do it without using an array formula?
You can use COUNTIFS to include multiple criteria, instead of your COUNTIF.
So in Cell D3 put the formula below:
=LARGE(B$1:B$10,COUNTIFS(B$1:B$10,">"&D2,B$1:B$10,">"&D1))
It means that the formula is searching for 2 criterias:
Cells Value is larger than value in Cell D2 (Input).
Cells Value is larger than value in Cell D1 (Minimum).
Using INDEX/MATCH you could restrict the range that's looked at, although I feel there's a better way:
=LARGE(INDEX($B:$B,MATCH($D$1,$A:$A,0)):INDEX($B:$B,COUNTA($A:$A)),COUNTIF(INDEX($B:$B,MATCH($D$1,$A:$A,0)):INDEX($B:$B,COUNTA($A:$A)),">"&$D$2))
You could place the INDEX/MATCH into a named range to make the formula shorter.
In Excel I have the following cell structure:
A B C D E
1 0 1 2 3 4
.
.
.
9 4 6 5 9 0
.
.
.
I want a cell A6 finds a match on line 2 for the value in A7. A7 is a value between 0-4 (the range is set by line 2). Second step is to match the column with the value on line 9 and put the matching value on line 9 in A6.
What is have so far is this formula in cell A6:
=MATCH(A7;A1:E1)
However this solutions does not return the cell number.
There are a couple of ways to go about this. Your first inclination to use "Match" is a good one. To expand on that:
=Index(A9:E9; 1; Match(A7;A1:E1))
This will return the value on Row 9 in the column that Match returns.
Conversely you could use HLookup:
=HLOOKUP(A7;A1:E9;9;false)
This will do a horizontal lookup for the value in A7 in the first Row of the range A1:E9 and return the corresponding value from the same column in the 9th row down, which is row 9.
I realize my title doesn't really explain what I'm asking as I don't know the correct terminology but bear with me and I'll explain my question.
I know how to link two cells so that if one changes, the other does as well (i.e. cell C3 is linked to cell E5 by selecting cell C3 and entering "=E5"). But how do I link the information in the cell to another cell?
If my worksheet looks like this:
cell B1 - Grapes, cell C1 - 50
cell B2 - Apples, cell C2 - 60
and I link cell F1 to cell C2 with "=C2". If I change the order of cell B1 and cell B2 to become alphabetical then cell F1 is no longer linked to the value in cell C2 (50) but changes to the value that now becomes cell C2 (60). How do I link cell F1 to the actual value (50) in cell C2 even if the order changes.
Help... Thank you!
Not sure if this is an efficient method; if i correctly understood your question then you can use = to link two cells For example:
Sheet one can look like this
A B C D E
1 1 2 3 4 5
2 5 4 3 2 1
3 1 2 3 4 5
Total 7 8 9 10 11
Sheet two requires cell links so you do:
TotalForA =Sheet1!A4 //output will be 7
TotalForB =Sheet1!B4 //output will be 8
.
.
.
In a simple word you can use = sign and click on whatever cell you're like to get.
I have a Spreadsheet, and inside this sheet contains a column with numbers, I want to make a formula that will go down that Column and do basically this.. Values: 1 will be 9.50. 2 will be 9.75. 3 will be 10.00. Ect going up to Value of 100? Is that possible for a Formula? I keep playing with it but can't really seem to get it down. Any help would be appreciated.
Column A: 1

There is not a set amount to how many values are in there.
this should do it supposing that column A has these values 1, 2 ...etc that your computing will be based on
=MIN(9.25+A1*0.25;100)*COUNT(A1)
In A2, enter the formula
=A1 + (9.5-A1)
then in the cell just below it (A3), enter
=A2+0.25
Assuming A1 is the top left. Copy the formula in A3, select the next 399 cells and paste. Then select A2 - A364 and copy. Then select B2 -xx364 and paste. xx is the last column with data. If you want, set the height of your first column to 0 to hide it.
=(A1-1)*0.25+9.5 where A1 contains any number you want
