Column A Has Text & Columns B, C & D contain numbers.
For Ex.)
A... …B C D
John 4 6 2
Dave 4 6 4
Mike 4 5 1
Bill 2 5 9
I would like a cell to return the name in column A that has the Largest Number in Column B. And if there are similar numbers, go to the next column and determine which is highest, and if that is tied go to the next column and so on.
Any help would be appreciated.
We can de-conflict ties.In E1 enter:
=B1 + C1/(10*MAX(C:C))+D1/(100*MAX(D:D))
and copy down. Then in another cell enter:
=INDEX(A:A,MATCH(MAX(E:E),E:E,0))
EDIT#1
This is only good for 3 columns of numbers, but it is very easy to add additional de-confliction terms if necessary:
=B1 + C1/(10*MAX(C:C))+D1/(100*MAX(D:D))+E1/(1000*MAX(E:E))
For an expandable number of rows/columns, use a helper row with the same number of columns as number columns in your data. The formulas below reference the following image (the data are in A1:G7):
B9-->=MAX(B1:B7)
C9 (fill over the remaining columns to G9)-->
=MAX(IF(MMULT(--($B1:B7=$B9:B9),--(ROW(INDIRECT("1:"&COLUMNS($B9:B9)))>0))=COLUMNS($B9:B9),C1:C7))
The following formula will give the answer (shown in A9 above):
=INDEX(A1:A7,MATCH(TRUE,(MMULT(--($B1:G7=$B9:G9),--(ROW(INDIRECT("1:"&COLUMNS($B9:G9)))>0))=COLUMNS($B9:G9)),0))
UPDATE WITH ALTERNATIVE METHOD
Using a helper column instead, again referencing the image below (the data are in A1:G7):
I1 (fill down to I7)-->
=SUM(--(MMULT(SIGN(B1:G1-$B$1:$G$7)*2^(COLUMN(G1)-COLUMN(A1:F1)),--(ROW(INDIRECT("1:"&COLUMNS(B1:G1)))>0))>0))
The following formula will give the answer (shown in J1 above):
=INDEX(A1:A7,MATCH(MAX(I1:I7),I1:I7,))
As a bonus, notice that the helper column corresponds to the order that you would get from sorting the data by each column left-to-right. In other words, you could use the helper column to perform a formula-based multi-column sort on strictly numeric data. For the last image, entering the following array formula into a range with the same dimensions as A1:G7 gives a descending sort on columns B through G:
=IF(A1:A7=A1:A7,INDEX(A1:G7,MATCH(ROW(A7)-ROW(A1:A7),I1:I7,0),))

I used index and match to identify the values of the table and matched it. However I am facing trouble when I try to get b and c, a is matched correctly
A. B C D.
1 a b c
2 fruit1 a
3 fruit0
4 fruit3
5 fruit5 a
E F
1 fruit1 a
2 fruit0 c
3 fruit3 b
4 fruit5 a
My formula is
=Iferror(if(index(($f$1:$f$4), match($A2,$e$1:$e$4,0),match(b$2,$f$1:$f$4,0)) = b$2,index(($f$1:$f$4), match($A2,$e$1:$e$4,0),match(b$2,$f$1:$f$4,0)), ""),"")
If your data table is in E1:F4, and you are trying to look up the fruit names that appear in column A starting at A2, and place the correct letter next to them in column B, then there's no need for the IF and the sequences of MATCHes.
All you need is this, pasted into cell B2 and copied down, is this:
=IFERROR(INDEX($F$1:$F$4,(MATCH(A2,$E$1:$E$4,0))),"")
An easier approach to this is just:
=VLOOKUP(A2,$E$1:$F$4,2,FALSE)
or to be safer:
=IFERROR(VLOOKUP(A2,$E$1:$F$4,2,FALSE),"")
And if you have access to O365 Excel and the newer XLOOKUP function, you can use the following examples. XLOOKUP incorporates the "not found" result so you don't have to do a separate IFERROR. Do do it on a cell-by-cell basis as you had before, put this in B2 and copy it down:
=XLOOKUP(A2,$E$1:$E$4,$F$1:$F$4,"",0)
If you want to go one step further, you can apply the XLOOKUP as an array or "spill" formula, you change the lookup_value to be the A1:A4 and it does the rest. Place this in B2 and it will fill B2 through B5:
=XLOOKUP(A2:A5,$E$1:$E$4,$F$1:$F$4,"",0)
I want to sum a row like
A B C D E
2 4 3 5 5
I want the formula to sum from A1 to some column number like It can be up to column 4 (D1) or up to column 5 (E1). I can retrieve column number but how to add up to that column number is what I am asking for.
Start of sum is fixed A1 but end is dynamic (not fixed)
Any solution will be highly appreciated
Say we want to sum up part of the first row.
Place the first column number in A2 and the last column number in A3. Then:
=SUM(INDEX(1:1,A2):INDEX(1:1,A3))
In your posted example, you would put 1 in A2.
It's probably easiest to sum up the entire row =SUM(2:2) (to sum the values in row 2) or if you have some other data at the beginning (or you want the sum to show up at the beginning) you can do something like =SUM(B2:XFD2)
I got that last column name here: https://www.quora.com/What-is-the-last-column-name-in-an-Excel-file
and checked it was the same as newer versions here: https://support.office.com/en-us/article/excel-specifications-and-limits-1672b34d-7043-467e-8e27-269d656771c3#ID0EBABAAA=Newer_versions
This question refers to this Stack Overflow question.
This is the original question:
A B C
a 3 d
b 1 a
c 8 e
d 5
I want to use SUMIFS function, sum range is B1:B4, if the corresponding value in column A exists in column C, sum the values in column B, in this case the sum will be 3 + 5 = 8.
The answer turned out to be:
=SUMPRODUCT(SUMIF(A1:A4,C1:C3,B1:B4))
I would like to create the same result, but with a multiplier on one of the ranges.
Here's my question:
A B C D
a 3 d 3
b 1 a 1
c 8 e 1
d 5 d 3
The only thing I would like to do differently is add a range D1:D3 that acts as a multiplier. In this case, the sum I want would be (3x3)+(5x3)= 24.
One challenge is that the ranges are different sizes in the "Test Data" google sheet linked below. The "Test Data" sheet is an example of how I would like to total daily calories based on the number of servings of items that I eat as dictated by the "multiplier column."
I would like the numbers in C2:C27 to be a multiplier and factored into the total in D36.
For example, if I ate 2 servings of Beef, then 2 servings worth of Beef's calories would be displayed in the daily totals below the data. Currently, using the formula =SUMPRODUCT(SUMIF(Meal_Items!$A$2:$A$100,$D$2:$D$28,Meal_Items!$B$2:$B$100)), only 1 serving of beef is weighted.
Test Data
See linked Test Data set above
The original question could also be solved with this formula
=SUMPRODUCT((COUNTIF(C1:C3,A1:A4)>0)+0,B1:B4)
using that version it's a simple matter to add one or more multiplier columns
=SUMPRODUCT((COUNTIF(C1:C3,A1:A4)>0)+0,B1:B4,D1:D4)
Given discussion in comments this formula should do what you want in either Excel or google sheets
=SUMPRODUCT(IFERROR(LOOKUP($D$2:$D$28,Meal_Items!$A$2:$A$100,Meal_Items!$B$2:$B$100),0),$C$2:$C$28)
If you have actually put A, B, C, etc into the header row (row 1) then this will not work until you either rename your header column labels appropriately or use data range references in place of the full column references I've provided.
=B2*INDEX(B:B, MATCH(A2, A:A, 0))+B2*INDEX(B:B, MATCH(C2, A:A, 0))
In E1 enter:
=IF(COUNTIF(C$1:C$4,A1)>0,1,0)
and copy down. Then in another cell:
=SUMPRODUCT((E1:E4)*(D1:D4)*(B1:B4))
Data is in column BWeights are in column DCriteria are in column E
I have a data looks like this:
a b c
1 3 4
2 3 3
4 1 2
2 4 2
In another worksheet, I want to do the following calculation:
whenever A1 returns a (header of data worksheet), count number of items that are smaller and equal to 2 in column "a". (result will be 2)
if A1 returns b, count number of items that are smaller and equal to 2 in column "b". (result will be 1).
A1 has already been preset with formula such that it will show a or b or c as conditions changed.
I need the formula to be lean... I actually have 6 headers, so if I keep on using if functions, I will probably have to set 6 if functions in one cell...that can be overwhelming. index match cannot provide a range to work on...Any suggestion? thanks
I don't know vba. If you could provide a workable vba code, i don't mind. but i don't know how to read it...>.< please provide user manual for that. lol, thank you~
If your data is found on Sheet1 and the a is found on column a, b is found on column b etc. enter this formula on then next sheet on b1 when a1 is the column value:
=COUNTIF(INDIRECT("Sheet1!"&a1&":"&a1),"<=2")
The Indirect is for adding text to your reference.
If your data sheet is Sheet1, you could try the array formula:-
=SUM((Sheet1!A1:C1=$A$1)*(Sheet1!A2:C5<=2))
Must be entered with CtrlShiftEnter
(actually there are 3 items less than or equal to 2 in column A)
Or you can use the SUMPRODUCT version if you prefer not to use an array formula:-
=SUMPRODUCT((Sheet1!A1:C1=$A$1)*(Sheet1!A2:C5<=2))
Or you can use this INDEX/MATCH method which is probably more efficient:-
=COUNTIF(INDEX(Sheet1!A2:C5,,MATCH(A1,Sheet1!A1:C1,0)),"<="&2)
I'm a total Excel nub and can't find the answer I'm looking for. Must be easy peasy, but since I'm not into Excel I also don't know what to look for. Sorry if I'm having my question wrong.
I have output in Excel like this:
A 1
A 2
A 3
A 4
B 1
B 2
B 3
B 4
B 5
B 6
and I want it like this:
A 1 2 3 4
B 1 2 3 4 5 6
this question is quite complex in a way.
let me explain it more in detail:
as you see above, we have two columns A and B, you have text strings in column A , these text strings could be repeated. As you see in the example, there are 4 As, 5 Bs, 3 Cs 1 D and 3 Es. In column B each one of these strings have different corresponding values. For example, text strings B in column A has five corresponding values in column B, namely 11, 12, 13, 14, 15, and 16.
Now we want a list of UNIQUE values from column A, and lets say, we put this list in column C and then for each of these unique values in column C we want to list their corresponding cells in column B and put them HORIZONTALLY in front of each of these unique text strings in column C.
For this you need two kinds of formulas:
Formula 1 to calculate the list of the unique values in column A :
this goes in C2:(leave C1 empty)
=IFERROR(INDEX($A$1:$A$999;MATCH(0;FREQUENCY(IF(EXACT($A$1:$A$999;TRANSPOSE($C$1:C1));MATCH(ROW($A$1:$A$999);ROW($A$1:$A$999)); ""); MATCH(ROW($A$1:$A$999);ROW($A$1:$A$999))); 0)); "")
this is an array formula, so press ctrl+shift+enter to calculate the formula, and drag and fill down as many as you want in column C.
*Formula 2 to find and list horizontally the values from column B *
=IFERROR(INDEX($B$1:$B$999;SMALL(IF($C2=$A$1:$A$999;ROW($A$1:$A$999)-ROW($A$1)+1);COLUMN(A$1)));"")
this is an array formula, so press ctrl+shift+enter to calculate the formula, put this in D2 and drag and fill down until the last cell of column C. then select D2 to D6 and drag and fill horizontally. You should get all of the corresponding cells in front of each unique item.
P.S. adjust the formulas to meet your regional settings by replacing ; with , I suppose.
Finally here is the link to an example sheet downloadable from here .
This is very generic but hopefully will help.
Highlight the cells that you want to transpose to.
Type the equation..."=TRANSPOSE(B1:B4)" (edit as necessary).
While the cells are still highlighted, press "ctrl+shift+enter". (brackets should appear around the equation)
Finish editing the cells.
