Pattern Example
Column B: 8 times of cells in Column A
Column C: 8 sets of same cells repeting till the end of Column B
Column B
=INDEX(A:A,(ROW()-1)/8+1)
Column C
=MOD(ROW()-1,8)+1
I am creating a spreadsheet for my personal use. I need to count the number of times one column's values are equal to an adjacent column's.
Is there any way to do this in Excel without having to modify the formula every time a new row is added?
If you have column A and B now, add column C:
Column A Column B Column C
1 2 =countif(B:B, A1)
2 2
3 1
Then just copy the first value in column C, select the entire column C and paste :)
You will get:
Column C
1
2
0
I need to match data in column A2 and so on in sheet 1 to data in column A2 and so on in sheet 2. If the data in column A of sheet 1 and sheet 2 match I need the data in column B & C of sheet 2 to replace data in column B & C of sheet 1. I know VERY little about doing this kind of stuff so any help would be GREATLY appreciated!
SHEET 1
A B C
2 12345 5.35 9.95
3 15874 4.22 10.99
4 11111 2.24 5.99
5 98745 5.33 9.95
6 88552 4.24 8.95
SHEET 2
A B C
2 11111 2.09 5.79
3 12345 5.11 9.89
4 88552 4.01 8.79
NEED SHEET 1 to change to
A B C
2 12345 5.11 9.89
3 15874 4.22 10.99
4 11111 2.09 5.79
5 98745 5.33 9.95
6 88552 4.01 8.79
On a third sheet use these functions
column a ='sheet1'!a2
column b =if('sheet1'!b2='sheet2'!b2,'sheet2'!b2,'sheet1'!b2)
column c =if('sheet1'!c2='sheet2'!c2,'sheet2'!c2,'sheet1'!c2)
Copy sheet3 and paste the values into sheet1.
This should work unless column a does match. or if you need to do this dynamically. If column a doesn't match some vlookups can be thrown in.
I your data does match in column a your formulas could look something like this.
column a ='sheet1'!a2
column b =if(not(iserror(vlookup(a2,'sheet2'!a:c,2,false))),vlookup(a2,'sheet2'!a:c,2,false),vlookup(a2,'sheet1'!a:c,2,false))
column c =if(not(iserror(vlookup(a2,'sheet2'!a:c,3,false))),vlookup(a2,'sheet2'!a:c,3,false),vlookup(a2,'sheet1'!a:c,3,false))
this is too much to put in a comment so I'm putting it in answer.
The way I under stand is, since sheet1 has more data, you only want to be doing this comparison when sheet1 and 2 both have data on the row. so If sheet1 has data in rows 1 - 100, and sheet2 has data in rows 1 to 50, you only want to be doing this comparison for the first 50 rows in sheet1 right?
So, rather than copying and pasting formulas, what you can do is, in sheet1, find an unused column. go to the first row. in the formula box, type: "=if(" without the quotes. now, select the first cell to compare, according to your example you'd select sheet1, A2. then type "=" without quotes. then select the second cell you want to compare - in your example, sheet2, A2. then type "," without quotes. then select the cell from which you want the data if the first 2 cells are equal. in your example, sheet2 B2. then type "," without quotes, then select the cell with the data to use if the first 2 cells are not equal. in your example, sheet1 b2. then type ")" without the quotes.
so using your example, the function would look similar to how bigtree had it: =if('sheet1'!A2='sheet2'!A2,'sheet2'!b2,'sheet1'!b2)
so, this will compare sheet1 cell A2 with sheet2 A2 and if they are equal, the cell you put the formula in will the have the value of sheet2 b2, and if they are not equal, the cell with this formula will have the value of sheet1 B2. then, drag this formula down for however many rows you want, and the formula will adjust automatically for each row. you'll see the numbers increase. then, select the column with the formulas, right click and select copy, then right click and go to paste special, and click values. this will make it so the column contains only the values, not the formulas, now you can paste this data in column B sheet 1.
you can reuse this formula for whatever columns, just follow the steps.
HTH, good luck!
I asked a very similar question to this one here, but I am trying to identify if a cell's numerical value is contained in a list of cells on a different sheet. If the cell from sheet A matches a cell in sheet B, mark a different column in B with a corresponding row in sheet A, otherwise leave it blank. An example is below:
Sheet A
Column A | Column B
-------------------
1 John
2 Sue
4 Bob
I would like the corresponding Sheet B to populate Column B like this:
Sheet B
Column A | Column B
-------------------
2 Sue
3
4 Bob
=IF(ISNUMBER(MATCH(I2, 'SALT, WOD, Champion Members'!A:A, 0)), "Y", "N")
I have been using the above answer to populate a different column in the same workbook, and I'm thinking I can maybe use this formula, but instead of "Y" or "N", somehow preserve the row.
You need to use VLOOKUP as already mentioned. But you will need to use another function to check for existence of the value, else you will get #N/A against ID 3
I used COUNTIF
=IF(COUNTIF($A$2:$A$4,E2)=0,"",VLOOKUP(E2,$A$2:$B$4,2,FALSE))
Use the VLOOKUP function:
=VLOOKUP(A1;Sheet1!A:B;2;FALSE)
Where A1 is the value you want to look up, Sheet1!A:B is the original sheet with the data.
**Sheet 1**
ColumnA B C D E F G H
------------------------------------------------------------
EURUSD 1.2765 1 ACCOUNT624 2 account125 1 account834
EURCAD 1.01 2 Account49 3 account45 2 account67
EURGBP 0.78 2 Account777 1 account45 2 account678
**Sheet 2**
ColumnA B C D
---------------------------------------
EURUSD 1.2765 Account 624 ?
EURUSD 1.2765 Account 125
EURUSD 1.2765 Account 834
EURCAD 1.01 Account49
EURCAD 1.01 Account45
In Sheet 1 above each row shows a currency trade and what quantity goes to each account.In Sheet 2 each row shows 1 account only. I would like to populate columnd D in sheet 2 with the quantites from sheet 1.
Breaking it up into steps, i would like to:
Find the price in Sheet2!B1 in sheet1
On the same row in sheet1, find the cell containing the same account as Sheet2!C1
Return value in cell to the left of cell with matching account
I have used index/match before but I can't get it to work for 2 dimensional arrays. Can anyone help with a formula? Thanks in advance!
It's not pretty, but using what you requested - to find the match based upon price in column B (I would say your safer bet would be to use the Currency conversion "EURUSD", for example, since what if 2 currencies have the same ocnversion rate??), paste this formula in cell D1 on your second sheet:
=OFFSET(Sheet1!$B$1,MATCH(B1,Sheet1!$B$1:$B$3,0)-1,MATCH(C1,OFFSET(Sheet1!$B$1,MATCH(B1,Sheet1!$B$1:$B$3,0)-1,0,1,10),0))
You can then drag it down / change ranges as needed.
(PS - I'm also assuming you made a mistake on sheet2 and that the account numbers will be typed the exact same in both sheets)
