Sharepoint q&a atleast 126 items - sharepoint

I have created a list of question and answer in sharepoint now is there any way that I will get result of that question and answer using calculated column,
Example I use this formula =SUM(if(exact(q1),(a1),1,0))
But there are atleast 126 question so it is very hectic job to create this for every column.
If any other way please let ke know

There's not enough info in your question, so I'll make a few guesses and offer a few hints...
Your equation:
=SUM(if(exact(q1),(a1),1,0))
The EXACT function requires two parameters. Yours only shows one. Do you mean to write =SUM(if(exact(q1,a1),1,0))?
The SUM() in your example does not do anything useful as the result is still zero or one.
You did not mention a SharePoint version. If you are using 2007 and 2010 you will probably exceed the maximum formula length of 1024 characters. You could break this into multiple calculated columns and then summarize those.
Just guessing, but if your questions are in the form of 126 rows: you cannot use a Calculated Column to sum multiple rows. This can be done using a SharePoint 2013 workflow and REST API calls.
Just guessing, but if your questions are in the form of 126 columns and all must be answered correctly: you could write a formula like this:
=IF( 126 = if(exact([ColumnWithQuestion1],"AnswerForQuestion1"),1,0) +
if(exact([ColumnWithQuestion2],"AnswerForQuestion3"),1,0) +
...
if(exact([ColumnWithQuestion126],"AnswerForQuestion126"),1,0)
As Boolean values can be treated as zeros (false) and ones (true), you can shorten the above to:
=IF( 126 = exact([ColumnWithQuestion1],"AnswerForQuestion1") +
exact([ColumnWithQuestion2],"AnswerForQuestion3") +
...
exact([ColumnWithQuestion126],"AnswerForQuestion126")

How do I get the top N results based on wildcard criteria via a formula in Excel 2019?

Since I've exhausted about every resource I could find in regards to this question, I figured it was finally time to ask this community.
I have a very large (15k+ row) dataset that I'm looking to generate a report on giving the top 25 largest values based on one of the columns, HOWEVER, there is additional criteria that needs to be considered other than just the values in one column. I have done this already with less criteria, but adding more is giving me trouble.
My (working) formula for Top N with some criteria:
{=LARGE(IF('IMPORTED DATA'!$X$4:$X$1048576 = IF('Data Cleanup'!$AX$3 = 1, "Gaming Designed", "Not Gaming Designed"), 'IMPORTED DATA'!$BH$4:$BH$1048576), ROW(A2) - ROW(A$1))}
The issue comes when I have another criteria I need to add that uses wildcard characters to distinguish the 'correct' criteria. Here is what I've come up with so far, but this just results in the COUNTIF portion always resulting in true, so not actually applying the added criteria:
{=LARGE(IF(COUNTIF('IMPORTED DATA'!$P$6:$P$1048576, IF('Data Cleanup'!$AX$3 = 1, "?????", "????")) * ('IMPORTED DATA'!$X$6:$X$1048576 = IF('Data Cleanup'!$AX$3 = 1, "Gaming Designed", "Not Gaming Designed")) * ('IMPORTED DATA'!$E$6:$E$1048576 <> "All Other (Suppressed)"), 'IMPORTED DATA'!$BH$6:$BH$1048576), ROW(A2) - ROW(A$1))}
I tried to work-around IF statements not accepting wildcard characters using the COUNTIF method but to no avail.
I understand that this is a bit of a rough question, but I'll do my best to respond to as many questions as I can to help clarify.
A couple more bits of information that may be helpful:
This is entirely based in Excel 2019, I know that FILTER would be an easy solution, but I don't have access to that in this version of excel.
The reason for using wildcards is because it was the easiest way to distinguish between the two categories to sort: above or below 100Hz. Anything under 100Hz will be 4 characters, while anything above will be 5.
I also need other data from the same row as the results, so any methods must be also applicable to MATCH criteria so that I can look up the rest of the data with the same search parameters.
its very hard to understand without seeing the data.
What i understood is that if you make a helper column in the dataset as per the criteria you want that would solve your problem.
at least thats how i am also using.
You need to create a ranking column in the data sheet.
Ranking Formula = =COUNTIFS($M$3:$M$233,">="&M3,$K$3:$K$233,K3)
with thise formula you can add as many as criteria as you want.
Index Formula = =INDEX($K$3:$K$233,MATCH(1,($K$3:$K$233=$B$1)*($N$3:$N$233=A3),0))
you need to change the columns names you want.
no need row() functions just try always to use simple sequence will work
Good luck
Ended up solving this in a very simple method thanks to Scott Craner's comment.
Since wildcards don't work in if statements, using LEN did the trick. Final formula ended up being:
{=LARGE(IF(LEN('IMPORTED DATA'!$P$6:$P$30000)=IF('Data Cleanup'!$AX$3 =1,5,4) * ('IMPORTED DATA'!$X$6:$X$30000 = IF('Data Cleanup'!$AX$3 = 1, "Gaming Designed", "Not Gaming Designed")) * ('IMPORTED DATA'!$E$6:$E$30000 <> "All Other (Suppressed)"), 'IMPORTED DATA'!$BH$6:$BH$30000), ROW(A2) - ROW(A$1))}
Thank you to everyone for your help!

Excel percentage increase based on formula

I am trying to fill the sell price column in an Excel spreadsheet with the increased values in colors based on the round up columns value (1 to 50 green, 50 to 100 blue, 100 to 150 yellow, 150+ pink).
I've opted for the percentage table because some items can be sold for a lot more than what I have purchased them for, so that's just for my benefit. I am open to any other suggestions and I am new to this whole business thing.
I was using IF in my formula which would work great for using one percentage increase in the formula:
=IF($E27<50,ROUNDUP(I$27,-1))
If I try to enter a second argument like
=IF(OR($E28<50,ROUNDUP(I$28,-1)OR($E28>50,<100,ROUNDUP(J$28,-1))))
I will get an error.
I'm probably using the formulas wrong, I've tried "AND" and a couple other formulas, but I can't find anyone else trying to achieve the same or similar.
So something like this:
=IF($E28<50,ROUNDUP(I$28,-1),IF($E28>50,ROUNDUP(J$28,-1),"Error"))
But not sure what the <100 was for.
Although the problem is not completely clear, I understand that you want to add a formula with nested if statements.
I will recommend you to try nested ifs in parts.
=IF($E27<50,ROUNDUP(I$27,-1),"First if condition is false")
If everything is working as per the requirement then edit that text in the formula to add another if statement.
=IF($E27<50,ROUNDUP(I$27,-1),IF(OR(condition 1, condition 2,more conditions),"value if true","value if false"))
In the second argument provided by you, the arguments of the OR function has not been properly provided. Ensure that all the arguments of an OR function are conditions separated by a comma.
$E28<50 This is a condition so it's ok.
But other arguments are not making sense.
Also, using OR multiple times inside the first OR arguments is not clear.
It would be beneficial if you could provide the basic table and mention the requirement clearly.

Define Status depending on Criteria

I have advanced Excel/Google Sheets skills. I have more of a conceptual question. I am happy with any solution (Excel or for Sheets, no difference for me).
I have a sheet where various coworkers have access and work with. It is used to define which product needs to go through which steps. Then when a part of a job is done, the status of the product is changed depending on criteria.
You can also think of it as projects and the status of a project.
The 3 examples shows how the data is input by the workers. Sometimes, the "No" cells are empty, sometimes they have a "No", sometimes for the same product, one criterion is empty, the other has a "No".
If I do a nested IF formula, I would have to create 32 of them (I believe, since its 5 criteria with each 2 options).
Obviously I can do that. I was wondering anyone has a better solution for me? Something more practical.
Thanks in advance!
Based on the data you've provided, it looks like your statuses are based on the number of Yes's in the input columns. Also you don't have a status shown for zero Yes's so I'll make an additional for that.
Given that assumption you can use a combination of the COUNTIF function (to count the Yes's), and the IFS function (to manage nested Ifs better) to drastically reduce the size of your function.
To make this cleaner I suggest you add a column and hide it containing: =COUNTIF([InputCriteria1to5Range],"Yes")
For the next formula assume the formula above is in B2. In your status column put the following:
=IFS(B2=5, Status1, B2=4, Status2, B2=3, Status3, B2=2, Status4, B2=1, Status5, B2=0, Status6)
Solution: Thanks to all for your help, I ended up firstly, creating ALL scenarios. This was actually the most complex part. See https://www.mrexcel.com/forum/excel-questions/654871-how-generate-all-possible-combinations-two-lists-without-macro.html (Answer from "Tusharm") where I had to repeat this process 5 times to have all possible outcomes. In the end, there were 192 combinations.
Then, I assigned a status for each combination.
Finally, for each product/row, I created another column where I concatenated the different criteria so that it looks exactly like my above combinations. Then finally index match the concatenated criteria to my combinations.

Sumproduct with multiple criteria on one range

In a dataset I have answers that participants to a survey gave. The answers are in one example numbered 1 to 5, with 1 being yes, and 2 to 5 being variants of no.
20 or so similar questions have been asked, and participants can be in either one of 20 subgroups. Questions were categorized into 6 classes.
Now the best way to go about such a dataset would normally be the use of a pivot-table, however the way the data is set up doesn't work with a pivot table, and due to the sheer size of the dataset remodelling isn't efficient.
To extract the amount of people in a certain subgroup that answered yes for questions in a certain class I use the following function:
=SuMPRODUCT(--(Test!D$4:$CC$1824=1)*(Test!$C$4:$C$1824=$C3)*(Test!$D$3:$CC$3=D$2))
In which Test!D$4:$CC$1824 is the range where answers are given, and the other two are ranges for subgroup and classes respectively.
By using --(Test!D$4:$CC$1824=1) I convert all data to 0's except for where participants answered yes (cell value = 1).
Now I would like to do the same thing for where they answered no, so the value is either 2 or 3 or 4 or 5. The ideal way would be to append some OR logic into the first test, coming about something like this: --(Test!D$4:$CC$1824={2,3,4,5})
Ofcourse this doesn't work, but is there any simple notation besides retyping the first part 4 times, and adding them together?
I'd say you could just use >1 instead of =1
For selected results like 1 and 3 and 5 you probably need to add the sumproducts of each number.
Sidenote: the -- is not necessary anymore as it is just for converting true and false to 1 and 0 when there is only one bracket inside sumproduct
The OR operation can be mimicked by adding all of the possibilities together.
=SuMPRODUCT(((Test!D$4:$CC$1824=2)+(Test!D$4:$CC$1824=3)+(Test!D$4:$CC$1824=4)+(Test!D$4:$CC$1824=5))*
(Test!$C$4:$C$1824=$C3)*(Test!$D$3:$CC$3=D$2))
If there is any possibilitiy that two could be correct (in this case there isn't) wrap the sum in the SIGN function to get only zero or one.
=SuMPRODUCT(SIGN((Test!D$4:$CC$1824=2)+(Test!D$4:$CC$1824=3)+(Test!D$4:$CC$1824=4)+(Test!D$4:$CC$1824=5))*
(Test!$C$4:$C$1824=$C3)*(Test!$D$3:$CC$3=D$2))

IF-Then or Find Function w/ Excel

My apologies if this has already been answered in some form; it’s difficult to come up with the correct wording to do a proper search.
I have been charged with creating some basic reporting for my team and I need to create an “if-then” formula. Essentially, if Column A contains the word “Open Rate,” I want the formula to grab the associated percentage from column B (16.49%) and make an average of all the open rates on another sheet. (16.49% + 14.98% + 14.48% / 3 = 15.31%)
I would simply add all of them but the data set is ridiculously large and always growing. Also, the numbers of rows between data sets are not equal and thus a nice pattern is out of the question.
excel uses a vb type syntax
=IF(A2<>"open rate",A2,AVERAGE(Sheet2!A:A))
the above formula says if a2 is not equal to open rate, then return a2, else return the average of column A in sheet 2
Please try:
=AVERAGEIF(Sheet1!A:A,"=Open Rate",Sheet1!B:B)
with your first sheet name adjusted to suit, if necessary.
Edit re supplementary
Google Doc does not at the moment have a function =AVERAGEIF, however it does have the building blocks for it. Average (as in arithmetic mean) may be calculated as the sum of the values in a dataset divided by the count of all the individual items in the dataset:
=sumIF(Sheet1!A:A;"=Open Rate";Sheet1!B:B)/countIF(Sheet1!A:A;"=Open Rate")
Google Doc does have the =AVERAGE function and this may be more suitable than the above.
