Search a Column for Specified Text, Then Return the Sum of the adjacent column which contains values to sum - excel

I am creating a World Cup spreadsheet.
Example:
Team | Pts |
Brazil | XXX |
Switz. | XXX |
C. Rica| XXX |
Serbia | XXX |
I have another table which displays the Country, Score & whether it was a W (win), L (loss) or T (tie). A WIN will add 3 points, a TIE will add 1 point & a LOSS will add 0 points. Where I put the XXX, I want a formula that will search the table column for the Country Name and ADD up the W's, L's & T's and display the sum of every game there team played with the point system I mentioned.
Any help would be greatly appreciated! Thanks.

Try,
=SUM(COUNTIFS(D:D, A2, E:E, {"T","W","W","W"}))

You can use COUNTIFS. I set up a mock table to demonstrate:
The first COUNTIFS will count a given teams wins, and then multiple by a factor of 3.
The second COUNTIFS will count a given teams ties (no need to multiply here).
Since a Loss equates to 0 points, there is no need to sum or count anything.
Adjust ranges to fit your setup and then auto-fill the equation down your table to calculate for each team.

You can use a formula in H2, as below, and drag down as many rows as required
=(3*SUMPRODUCT(--($A$2:$A$13=$G2),--($C$2:$C$13="W"))+SUMPRODUCT(--($A$2:$A$13=$G2),--($C$2:$C$13="T")))
Data:
You only care about Wins or Ties. So count the wins per country and * 3 and add to that the count of ties, which you don't need to multiply as is 1.
Sumproduct is used to handle the arrays nicely.

Excel - getting a value based on the max value off another row in a Table

I'm looking for a solution for a problem I'm facing in Excel. This is my table simplified:
Every sale has an unique ID, but more people can have contributed to a sale. the column "name" and "share of sales(%)" show how many people have contributed and what their percentage was.
Sale_ID
Name
Share of sales(%)
1
Person A
100
2
Person B
100
3
Person A
30
3
Person C
70
Now I want to add a column to my table that shows the name of the person that has the highest share of sales percentage per Sales_ID. Like this:
Sale_ID
Name
Share of sales(%)
Highest sales
1
Person A
100
Person A
2
Person B
100
Person B
3
Person A
30
Person C
3
Person C
70
Person C
So when multiple people have contributed the new column shows only the one with the highest value.
I hope someone can help me, thanks in advance!
You can try this on cell D2:
=LET(maxSales, MAXIFS(C2:C5,A2:A5,A2:A5),
INDEX(B2:B5, XMATCH(A2:A5&maxSales,A2:A5&C2:C5)))
or just removing the LET since maxSales is used only one time:
=INDEX(B2:B5, XMATCH(A2:A5&MAXIFS(C2:C5,A2:A5,A2:A5),A2:A5&C2:C5))
On cell E2 I provided another solution via MAP/XLOOKUP:
=LET(maxSales, MAXIFS(C2:C5,A2:A5,A2:A5),
MAP(A2:A5, maxSales, LAMBDA(a,b, XLOOKUP(a&b, A2:A5&C2:C5, B2:B5))))
similarly without LET:
=MAP(A2:A5, MAXIFS(C2:C5,A2:A5,A2:A5),
LAMBDA(a,b, XLOOKUP(a&b, A2:A5&C2:C5, B2:B5)))
and here is the output:
Explanation
The trick here is to identify the max share of sales per each group and this can be done via MAXIFS(max_range, criteria_range1, criteria1, [criteria_range2, criteria2], ...). The size and shape of the max_range and criteria_rangeN arguments must be the same.
MAXIFS(C2:C5,A2:A5,A2:A5)
it produces the following output:
maxSales
100
100
70
70
MAXIFS will provide an output of the same size as criteria1, so it returns for each row the corresponding maximum sales for each Sale_ID column value.
It is the array version equivalent to the following formula expanding it down:
MAXIFS($C$2:$C$5,$A$2:$A$5,A2)
INDEX/XMATCH Solution
Having the array with the maximum Shares of sales, we just need to identify the row position via XMATCH to return the corresponding B2:B5 cell via INDEX. We use concatenation (&) to consider more than one criteria to find as part of the XMATCH input arguments.
MAP/XLOOKUP Solution
We use MAP to find for each pair of values (a,b) per row, of the first two MAP input arguments where is the maximum value found for that group and returns the corresponding Name column value. In order to make a lookup based on an additional criteria we use concatenation (&) in XLOOKUP first two input arguments.

Count Unique Dates Associated with Location

I am trying to count the total of Unique Dates based on the location.
Context: I trying to create a formula for counting the number of unique dates based on location. My Spreadsheet looks like this
A B C
1 **Participant Location Date**
2 Participant-A High School X 11/7
3 Participant-B High School X 11/7
4 Participant-C High School X 11/8
5 Participant-E High School Y 11/7
6 Participant-F High School Z 11/7
7 Participant-G High School Z 11/8
So for example: high School X had 2 different dates. What would the formula be to count the unique dates based on the location?
This is also being completed on google sheets.
Thank you!
Another way (with no helper columns) would be to use query() and unique().
=query(unique(B:C), "Select Col1, count(Col2) where Col1 <>'' group by Col1 label count(Col2)'# of unique dates'", 1)
Illustration:
With a simple helper column :
=1/COUNTIFS($A$2:$A$7,A7,$B$2:$B$7,B7)
And to get your results :
=SUMIF($A$2:$A$7,E2,$C$2:$C$7)
This is not one-formula solution but I think it works. First, create a third column concatenating the columns that you want to compare. In this case, at cell D2 write:
=CONCATENATE(B2,C2)
This is for the first row of your example. Then, replicate that to the following rows.
Finally, create a formula that counts unique values:
=SUM(IF(FREQUENCY(IF(LEN(D2:D7)>0,MATCH(D2:D7,D2:D7,0),""), IF(LEN(D2:D7)>0,MATCH(D2:D7,D2:D7,0),""))>0,1))
Assuming your new column of concatenated values is at D2:D7.

Build 1D array / list in formula by multiplying values for use in AVERAGE()

I have an excel spreadsheet with a list of values, column A contains the grading, column B contains the number of occurrences:
A | B
---------------
Grading | Count
1 | 1
2 | 1
3 | 2
4 | 3
5 | 5
I would like to find the average grading based on the count but to do this I need to build a list based on these values, I.E. the above chart should translate into:
=AVERAGE(1,2,3,3,4,4,4,5,5,5,5,5).
I have managed to come to a solution through a very convoluted method of creating a new table, using IF and COUNTIF to print out an array and then AVERAGE the entire range but this is time consuming to repeat and I'm sure there is much simpler way of doing this.
If I'm not mistaken, you can just take the sum of product of columns A and B, then divide by the sum of the Count column:
=SUMPRODUCT(A2:A6, B2:B6) / SUM(B2:B6)
Note that using your hand written expanded formula yielded the same results:
=AVERAGE(1,2,3,3,4,4,4,5,5,5,5,5)

How to calculate values dynamically from Excel table

I have a programming issue in Excel that I don't know how to solve it. I want to create an automatic Delivery Cost Program on Excel that will help me calculating the cost more easily.
The input variables are:
Quantity (Values for 1, 2-9,10-49,50+ and more)
Shipping method
Depending on the Quantity Value and Shipping method, Excel should lookup on the table and return the total shipping cost according the following Table:
------------------------------------------
Delivery | Per shipment fee
------------------------------------------
| 1 2-9 10-49 50+
------------------------------------------
Standard | 2,99 1,89 1,5 1,1
Expedited | 5,99 2 1,75 1,25
Priority | 10,99 3,39 2,25 1,35
------------------------------------------
Let me show you with some examples what I want to get:
1- Example:
- Quantity: 15
- Delivery: Expedited
- Total Cost = 15 * 1,75 = 26,25$
1,75$ is the returned value after looking on the table using the variable Quantity and Shipping Method.
I have tested doing =IF statements but sure that there is an easier way to do it.
I'm not very good on Excel programming so any help will be appreciated
Best regards and have a great day!
Assuming that your table has the delivery types in column A in rows 4 through 6 and that the quantities are in row 3 (columns B through E) the following formula should do it for you:
=INDEX(B4:E6,MATCH(B9,A4:A6,0),MATCH(C9,B3:E3,1)) * Quantity
Note, that the quantities in row 3 must be a number. So, the numbers should be 1, 2, 10, and 50 and not 1, 2-9, 10-59, 50+. There are two possibilities to achieve that:
Create a helper row and hide it (while only showing the row with the "names" as you wish for.
Change the number format on these cells: for the column containing the 2 the number format should then be "2-9" (custom number format). For the number 10 the number format would be "10-49" and the number format for the last column would be "50+". Like this you see what you wan to see while the cells still contain numbers only (for the upper formula to work correctly).

Find the top n values in a range while keeping the sum of values in another range under x value

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.
