I am trying to run an easier query that is a combination of both vlookup/index match and countif. So far, I have used countif, but it requires a lot of manual work especially if the data is split up.
I have attached a sample data below. I want to know how many times has "Elizabeth" done chats, phones, and/or cases over a time period.
So as you can see, Elizabeth appears twice from C4:C45. I want to know how many times she has done Chats in the two rows she appeared on the list (the list goes on forever). The answer should be something like: Elizabeth: Chat: 3, Phone 6, Cases 1
Any help would be very much appreciated!

I'm not even sure how to ask this so please excuse the roundabout manner forthcoming.
I have a list of tasks and would like to use =INDEX to create my array. However, there are multiple different versions of the task that could show up, and I would like to have all possible avenues covered when creating (only 4 differences).
The name of the range is TaskCode. I want to have it so I can return the first seven numbers, the period, and then only the digits directly after the period. So in case 1, I would want 0527011.3, in case 2 I would want 0527011.01, in case 3 I would want 0527011.23, and in case 4 I'd want 0527011.3.
I initially did =LEFT(TaskCode,10) but that will obviously not work in case 1 or 4. Basically I need to say cut off EITHER at the second period OR the first blank.
Thanks
=LEFT(A2,FIND("|",SUBSTITUTE(A2&".",".","|",2))-1)
I'm trying to create a system where I can allocate individual order numbers to a shelf location or multiple shelf locations (because sometimes I have 2 or more products in one order that is then located to two different locations).
I've looked around, and I seem to not be able to find a good way to create a formula that does a more specific action, however, I did come across this post on here and it is close to what I need to do, but it only results in one answer, unless I am not looking at that formula example correctly.
How do I return the column header matching multiple criteria using Excel
In that post, the result Gemini is for Unique ID 42370.6433, but what if lets say it was also Silver for Parks. So that would result in both Gemini and Parks.
I've come across many examples of Index/Match, Aggregate, but they don't seem to result to what I'm looking for.
If this has been answers before, would you please re-direct me there, because I am not sure anymore if I am wording my search the way it has been asked in the past.
Thank you!
I am having an excel issue that is driving me crazy, mostly because I feel like I have reached some limit of excel where I do not have the processing power to do this task.
I have two columns that I need to do the following:
one column contains record ids and the other column contains information about those ids. The total number of record id's is 185629 and the total number of records containing the information is 498776.
My goal is to compare the two columns and do a special vlookup that will return the information values and if it finds an id that is the same it will return it in the same record but with just a comma or some other delimiter to separate the information. The link I sent does a better job of explaining my task.

I have followed both methods, the first method works but it takes about 1 second to run per record, so with my calculations it would take 52 or so hours to complete the task. The other way, using the kutools plugin just sends the computer into limbo where it says not responding until the computer falls asleep as per sleep settings. I feel like this method will either not work at all or still take 52 hours as well.
I have also followed all the tips in this guide to make formulas run faster:

My processor is a laptop intel core i7-4720HQ 2.59GHZ and I have excel set to utilize all 8 cores.
My spreadsheet is originally from an SQL database which I imported though the data tab on excel. What do you guys think? Is this too much data for a custom vlookup to crunch quickly? Is there anything else I should try? Have you worked with this much data in Excel Before? Thanks!
I have 5 columns of data with around 50,000 rows. This is the ambulance response times to an incident. I am trying to figure out the total number of incidents as multiple ambulances respond to a single incident. The 'IF' function has been useful upto a certain extent where the multiple ambulances reached at the same time but when it is not at the same time, it considers it as a different incident. I would like to add a buffer of 20 minutes but I am not able to figure out how to incorporate that. The second problem is with the incident number. The incidents 2014-014374-006, 2014-014374-009 are the same, just the ending numbers are different. How do I differentiate? Can I do it in excel or other platforms?

To return the incident number, use a formula like this: "=IF(ISERROR(SEARCH("-",D5,SEARCH("-",D5)+1)),D5,LEFT(D5,SEARCH("-",D5,SEARCH("-",D5)+1)-1))" where D5 is the cell with your incident number.
What this formula does is it first creates an if statement that will allow you to determine if the incident has the second dash or if it doesnt. If it doesn't, then it will return the value in the cell. If it does, it will return the text to the left of that dash. The search function looks for a substring, and by nesting a search and adding "1" to the value of the first search, we are looking for the substring that comes after the first one is found.
It is a rather confusing formula the first time you use it, but it works like a charm once you understand it.
I will see if I can figure the dates out. That might be more difficult. If you can simply use the incident number for this, you will likely have an easier time.
Hello i'm having problems with getting this to work. What i'm trying to do is when you insert a set of measurements i want excel to show the ( In this case products) which are closest to those measurements.
here is a picture:
The result i'm trying to reach is when you type in the measurements you get product(s) and the manufacturer which are closest to those measurements.
Any help is greatly appreciated.
In essence, what you are after is an index+match function. It will allow you to find a value in one list, given a corresponding variable. In this case, given a measurement, it will find a manufacturer and product combo in your list.
Your problem is that you will need to adapt your data to allow for this. For example, you need to decide whether you only want the closest match for measurements or if you need the closest match that is greater than the measurement you provide.
It is also possible that you'll need to split your measurement column into two different columns (unless all you need is the total area irrespective of individual lengths).
You could potentially avoid the index+match by using conditional formatting, but that would still require the data manipulation.
Given the information you provided, the answer will never be much more informative than this. But this should get you started and the following steps can be made easier with help from google.
