I have 10,000+ row of values which need to be indexed with a numerical value which increases by 1 every 56 rows - for example:
Rows Index Value
1-56 1
57-112 2
113-168 3
169-224 4
Any ideas?
Thanks! :-)
If your data starts in Row #2 like your example implies, then try this formula in Row #2 the column where you want your "index number":
=INT((ROW()-1)/56)+1
The 1 in the middle is "how many rows to skip at the top", and the 56 is obviously the size of each group.

I have a table similar to the one below and am trying to get column B data based on the criteria in Column A and C. A = UserID, B = Description, C = Cost_Priority, D Cost. The table lists each userID, and common problem description, ranking the cost for the problem description and the cost of the problem description. This is a supplied table that I am working from.
UserID
Problem_Description
Cost_Priority
Cost
111
Problem A
1
395.00
111
Problem B
2
200.00
111
Problem C
0
150.00
111
Problem D
0
145.00
112
Problem G
1
800.73
112
Problem S
2
200.46
112
Problem T
0
100.51
Resulting Table should look like the one below where UserID is Given along with the columns
that define the Cost Priority Required. The problem I am having is getting the problem description
based on static values in the User ID columns static values of 1 for Highest cost problem and 2 for the 2nd highest cost problem.
UserID
Highest Cost Problem
2nd Highest Cost Problem
111
Problem A
Problem B
112
Problem G
Problem S
I have tried using a vlookup method to grab the USERID and compare Cost_Priority to 1 or 2 in an if statement but it was returning the Problem Description column in order including where Cost Priority was 0. I was wondering if someone else had any other ideas to populate the 2nd and 3rd columns in the 2nd table.
If you are on Microsoft 365 then try below formula. Drag down and across as needed.
=INDEX(SORT(FILTER($B$2:$C$8,($A$2:$A$8=$A12)*($C$2:$C$8>0)),2,1),COLUMN(A$1),1)
For older versions of excel try below array formula-
=INDEX($B$2:$B$8,MATCH(1,($A$2:$A$8=$A12)*($C$2:$C$8=COLUMN(A$1)),0))
Press CTRL+SHIFT+ENTER to evaluate the formula as it is an array formula.
How do I sum the amount of demand I have for each date, when there are multiple entries for each date., e.g.
Sheet 1:
A B
Date Demand
13/7/21 5
13/7/21 4
13/7/21 2
15/7/21 6
15/7/21 3
16/7/21 2
16/7/21 4
So I'm trying to get a summary as follows:
Sheet 2:
A B
13/7/21 11
14/7/21 0
15/7/21 9
16/7/21 6
17/7/21 0
I've tried =SUMPRODUCT(--('Sheet 1'!$A$2:$A$240='Sheet 2'!A2),'Sheet 1'!$B$1:$B$240)
I'm not wanting to do a pivot table, as the pivot table does not give me the zero values for dates where there is no data (unless there is a way to show this in a pivot)
You can use SUMIFS() like
=SUMIFS(Sheet1!B:B,Sheet1!A:A,A1)
You can also use SUMPRODUCT() in this way.
=SUMPRODUCT((Sheet1!$B$2:$B$8)*(Sheet1!$A$2:$A$8=A1))
Put together quickly to start you off:
Edit to give text version of the solution to the OP's problem:
=SUMIFS(B6:B12,A6:A12,"="&G12)
Then you can do between by setting lower and upper criteria in the sumifs().
I have a requirement to form a permutation data from the given set of values in excel sheet. Below are the details.
Let us say there are 5 columns and each column has some rows of data as below in input excel sheet.
Column 1 - 2 values(ind,us)
column 2 -1 value (a1)
Column 3= 3 value(cat,dog,cow)
column 4= 4 value(1,2,3,4)
Column 5= 1 value(d)
The output excel has to be on below format.
ind,a1,cat,1,d
ind,a1,cat,2,d
ind,a1,cat,3,d
ind,a1,cat,4,d
ind,a1,dog,1,d
ind,a1,dog,2,d
ind,a1,dog,3,d
ind,a1,dog,4,d
ind,a1,cow,1,d
ind,a1,cow,2,d
ind,a1,cow,3,d
ind,a1,cow,4,d
us,a1,cat,1,d
us,a1,cat,2,d
us,a1,cat,3,d
us,a1,cat,4,d
us,a1,dog,1,d
us,a1,dog,2,d
us,a1,dog,3,d
us,a1,dog,4,d
us,a1,cow,1,d
us,a1,cow,2,d
us,a1,cow,3,d
us,a1,cow,4,d
please note the rows and column count are not constant.
Request all to give some thoughts to implement.
Thanks,
Rakesh
See this question for ways to get (all) combinations of elements with specified values for each slot. Just feed your data as an array of arrays to the Permute function or the .init method.
I'd like to accomplish the following task. There are three columns of data. Column A represents price, where the sum needs to be kept under $100,000. Column B represents a value. Column C represents a name tied to columns A & B.
Out of >100 rows of data, I need to find the highest 8 values in column B while keeping the sum of the prices in column A under $100,000. And then return the 8 names from column C.
Can this be accomplished?
EDIT:
I attempted the Solver solution w/ no luck. 200 rows looks to be the max w/ Solver, and that is what I'm using now. Here are the steps I've taken:
Create a column called rank RANK(B2,$B$2:$B$200) (used column D -- what is the purpose of this?)
Create a column called flag just put in zeroes (used column E)
Create 3 total cells total_price (=SUM(A2:A200)), total_value (=SUM(B2:B200)) and total_flag (=(E2:E200))
Use solver to minimize total_value (shouldn't this be maximize??)
Add constraints -Total_price<=100000 -Total_flag=8 -Flag cells are binary
Using Simplex LP, it simply changes the flags for the first 8 values. However, the total price for the first 8 values is >$100,000 ($140k). I've tried changing some options in the Solver Parameters as well as using different solving methods to no avail. I'd like to post an image of the parameter settings, but don't have enough "reputation".
EDIT #2:
The first 5 rows looks like this, price goes down to ~$6k at the bottom of the table.
Price Value Name Rank Flag
$22,538 42.81905675 Blow, Joe 1 0
$22,427 37.36240932 Doe, Jane 2 0
$17,158 34.12127693 Hall, Cliff 3 0
$16,625 33.97654031 Povich, John 4 0
$15,631 33.58212402 Cow, Holy 5 0
I'll give you the solver solution as a starting point. It involves the creation of some extra columns and total cells. Note solver is limited in the amount of cells it can handle but will work with 100 anyway.
Create a column called rank RANK(B2,$B$2:$B$100)
Create a column called flag just put in zeroes
Create 3 total cells total_price, total_value and total_flag
Use solver to minimize total_value
Add constraints
-Total_price<=100000
-Total_flag=8
-Flag cells are binary
This will flag the rows you want and you can grab the names however you want.
I have a table with first column as primary key. Ex:
id value1 value2
1 10 5
2 2 3
3 12 5
..
I also have a second list of id's I want to select, which can have repeated ids. Ex:
selectId
1
2
2
2
5
10
..
How can I "merge" the two tables (something like INNER JOIN) to obtain:
id value1 value2
1 10 5
2 2 3
2 2 3
2 2 3
5 99 99
10 22 22
..
I tried using 'Microsoft Query' from Data > Extern Data to join the two tables. The problem is that it seems it cannot handle tables with more than 256 columns.
Thanks
UPDATE:
Thanks, VLOOKUP works as intended.
However one problem is that if the row was found but that corresponding column was blank, this function returns 0 (where I expected it to return an empty cell), and since zero is a valid value, I have no way to differentiate between the two (blank and zero)?
Any help is appreciated..
If this is Excel -like the title says- just use vlookups.
Not very relational, but that's the Excel way.
Using the VLOOKUP function would get you the data in the layout you require.
If you are using Tables in Excel 2007, the formula would look like this based on the example below.
in cell B8
=VLOOKUP([selectId],Table1,2,FALSE)
in cell C8
=VLOOKUP([selectId],Table1,3,FALSE)

It is not clear where you store your data, but it looks like you have this problem, described on Microsoft site:
