Find address (cell/row) for COUNTIFS function - excel

I have an Excel file populated with a large amount of COUNTIFS functions (above 300). The formulas work fine but I need to be able to find the address for each COUNTIFS result as the data source is very large.
i.e. if COUNTIFs gives me result of 1 for the selected parameters, I need to be able to know which cell/row the function is counting from the data source.
I was thinking this could be done with the ADDRESS function, but I am not sure how this can be used together with COUNTIFS.

I would go with a user-defined function.
Using the below code, you would get this result:
Public Function ListAddresses(SearchTerm As Variant, SearchRange As Range) As String
Dim WS As Worksheet, rCell As Range
Set WS = Sheets(SearchRange.Parent.Name)
SearchTerm = UCase(SearchTerm)
Set SearchRange = Intersect(WS.UsedRange, SearchRange)
For Each rCell In SearchRange.Cells
If UCase(rCell.Value) = SearchTerm Then
ListAddresses = ListAddresses & rCell.Address(False, False) & " | "
End If
Next rCell
If ListAddresses <> "" Then
ListAddresses = Left(ListAddresses, Len(ListAddresses) - 3)
Else
ListAddresses = "<none>"
End If
End Function

Try,
=ADDRESS(AGGREGATE(15, 7, ROW(C$3:INDEX(C:C, MATCH(1E+99, C:C)))/(C$3:INDEX(C:C, MATCH(1E+99, C:C))=1), ROW(1:1)), COLUMN(B:B), 4, 1, "Shett4")

Assuming your criteria rows are aligned, you can find the rows that are going into the count. Referencing the image below, enter this as an array formula (Ctrl+Shift+Enter) in an area with the same number of rows that the COUNTIFS returned (I entered the formula into H2:H4 in the image):
=SMALL(IF(((A2:A11=F1)+(B2:B11=F2)+(C2:C11=F3))=3,ROW(A2:A11)),ROW(INDIRECT("1:"&F4)))

How do I update formula range in a macro?

I have a formula in A1 that is fed with data from a different workbook. It's only a reference to this other workbook, there aren't any calculations.
This second workbook is updated on a monthly basis so the cell I'm interested in referring to is offset one cell to the right each month.
How can I write a macro that tells my current formula in A1 to use the same formula but moving it one place to the right? It'd be something like: [Book1]Sheet1!C15 to [Book1]Sheet1!D15. Thanks!
Use Range.Precedents to get the cells a particular Range depends on.
'get the cell:
Dim theCell As Range
Set theCell = ActiveSheet.Range("A1")
'get its first "precedent" Range:
Dim precedent As Range
Set precedent = theCell.Precedents(1)
'rewrite the formula, offsetting the precedent by 1 column:
theCell.Formula = "=" & precedent.Offset(ColumnOffset:=1).Address(External:=True)
Obviously this makes a lot of assumptions and will need to be adjusted to your specific needs, but you don't need to parse any formulas to offset its precedent cells when you're looking at a formula that's simply =SomeCellAddress.
First put this small UDF in a standard module:
Public Function NextCellOver(s As String) As String
arr = Split(s, "!")
addy = Range(arr(1)).Offset(0, 1).Address
NextCellOver = arr(0) & "!" & addy
End Function
It will accept a string that ends with something like !Z99 and return a string ending with !AA99. (Basically one column to the right.)
Then enter:
Sub marine()
With Range("A1")
.Formula = NextCellOver(.Formula)
End With
Application.CalculateFullRebuild
End Sub
To apply this to the cell in question.

How to extract records from a worksheet into a seperate worksheet using VLOOKUPS and IF's

Worksheet1:
Excel sheet
New
Worksheet 1 has licences with 6 columns of information - two being the start and end date.
I need a method of extracting all the records that are within 90 days before the expiry date- the idea being I want a separate alert page
I have done a IF statement that is on the end of the columns that just prints 1 if date is hits the alert criteria or 0 if not...The idea now in Worksheet2 I need some sort of VLOOKUP and IF to extract those records automatically.
How would I do this?
=IF(IFERROR(DATEDIF(TODAY(),H5,"d"),91)<90,1,0)
While use of Pivot table or VBA macro is recommended in such cases, if you absolutely need to use the formula then you may use the below trick.
You already have the Binary column. Now, add another column say Cumulative Binary that will sum all the 1's till the current row using a SumIf formula as shown in the screenshot below (it is fine if some numbers are repeated because of 0's)
The formula in I3 in my workbook is
=SUMIF(H$3:H3,1,H$3:H3)
and you may adjust it as per your needs.
Now, it is easy since each row has a unique number, we could use Vlookup or like I have done here i.e. use Offset function which simply matches the value in the "Lookup Column" to the value in "Cumulative Binary" column and returns the rows that match.
=IFERROR(OFFSET($F$2,MATCH(M3,$I$3:$I$9,0),0,1,2),"")
Please note that it is an array formula as I need to return multiple columns (2 here). So, I selected two columns N,O as shown in the screenshot wrote the formula and used Ctrl+Shift+Enter (instead of Enter). Then I simply dragged the formula down. You may want to adjust it as per your needs by including more columns.
If you can use VBA, you may write some code like this:
Option Explicit
Public Sub CopyCloseToExpiration()
Dim rngSource As Range: Set rngSource = ThisWorkbook.Worksheets("Sheet1").Cells(2, 1).Resize(LastRow(ThisWorkbook.Worksheets("Sheet1")) - 1, 9)
Dim rngDestinationTopLeft As Range: Set rngDestinationTopLeft = ThisWorkbook.Worksheets("Sheet2").Cells(LastRow(ThisWorkbook.Worksheets("Sheet2")) + 1, 1)
Dim datLimit As Date: datLimit = DateAdd("d", 90, Date)
CopyBeforeDate rngSource, rngDestinationTopLeft, datLimit
End Sub
Public Sub CopyBeforeDate(rngSource As Range, rngDestinationTopLeft As Range, datLimit As Date)
Dim lngOffset As Long: lngOffset = 0
Dim rngRow As Range: For Each rngRow In rngSource.Rows
If rngRow.Cells(1, 8).Value < datLimit Then
rngDestinationTopLeft.offset(lngOffset, 0).Resize(rngRow.Rows.Count, rngRow.Columns.Count).Value = rngRow.Value
lngOffset = lngOffset + 1
End If
Next
End Sub
Public Function LastRow(ewsSheet) As Long
With ewsSheet
Dim lngResult As Long: lngResult = .Cells(.Rows.Count, 1).End(xlUp).Row
End With
LastRow = lngResult
End Function
You have to put the above into a new Module, customize it (e.g. replace "Sheet1" with the name of you worksheet's actual name), and run it (You can place the caret on the sub CopyCloseToExpiration and hit F5 or place a button somewhere and call this function from its event handler).

Formula to verify row values and retrieve columns

I have a table in Excel as shown in the attached image (Until Column F) and would like to see the final column "Result":
ExcelData:
The Result column should retrieve Column Names where the row values is "IF".
I can use the IF function in Excel, but that would be a long statement that I would have to write to retrieve the final output if there are like 20 columns that I would have to check.
If you are okay with creating a UDF (User Defined Function), then you can essentially create your own worksheet function to do this.
In this function, you will do a quick loop in the input range, and check if any cell in that range is equal to "IF". If so, you will strip the column letter out of the .Address property.
Public Function getIFCols(ByVal rng As Range) As String
Dim retVal As String, cel As Range
For Each cel In rng.Cells
If cel.Value = "IF" Then
retVal = Trim(retVal & " " & colLtr(cel))
End If
Next
getIFCols = Replace(retVal, " ", ", ")
End Function
Private Function colLtr(colRng As Range) As String
colLtr = Split(colRng.Address, "$")(1)
End Function
You will call this function as such:
=getIFCols(B1:F1)
The great thing about this function is that it doesn't require a set amount of columns. So if you need 3 columns checked on one row and 10 on another, it's pretty dynamic.
For Excel Online you can try the texjoin
=TEXTJOIN(",",TRUE,IF(B2:G2="IF",$B$1:$G$1,""))

VBA Word count in range

Hi I am a beginner in excel so please bear with my ignorance.
Lately i found myself in need of a function that counts the number of words in a range of cells (counting the empty cells as 0, of course).
Surfing the net i found this simple VBA code:
Function intWordCount(rng As Range) As Integer
intWordCount = UBound(Split(Application.WorksheetFunction.Trim(rng.Value), " "), 1) + 1
End Function
I found this extremly useful as i could just use
=intwordcount(A2)+intwordcount(B2)+intwordcount(C2)
in excel function bar to sum the number of words contained in 3 cells without counting the empty ones.
The problem is that i now need to do this on a large range of cells in a column and simply using
=intwordcount(A2:A18)
does not work.
I think the error is that it tries to apply the function on the range considering it as a single big cell whereas i want it to apply the function to every single cell in the range and sum every output to obtain the total.
I'd be really grateful if someone could help me cause i can't figure out a solution.
I'm using Excel 2016.
Thank you very much for your assistance.
Loop through the cells and apply the same logic.
The function will now work for single-cell ranges & multi-cell ranges
Function intWordCount(rng As Range) As Integer
Dim MyCell as Range
For Each MyCell in rng
intWordCount = intWordCount + UBound(Split(Application.WorksheetFunction.Trim(MyCell.Value), " "), 1) + 1
Next MyCell
End Function
If you have a recent version of Excel:
Function intWordCount(rng As Range) As Long
Dim wf As WorksheetFunction, s As String
Set wf = Application.WorksheetFunction
s = wf.TextJoin(" ", True, rng)
intWordCount = UBound(Split(wf.Trim(s), " "), 1) + 1
End Function

Averaging over a Non-Contiguous Named Range

I am trying to average non-contiguous cells as shown.
I am taking the average of columns A and C for each row. I am trying to do the same but with a named range (including columns A and C), because my actual data have thousands of columns and it will be hell to write the formula let alone for the users to understand what is being averaged.
Obviously, I don't understand how indexing a named range works. I expected that index(RangeAC,2) would give me the second row of values in RangeAC. Instead, I get the second row in column A. Trying index(RangeAC,2,2) results in an error.
Is it possible to get this average with a named range or do I need a different approach?
I don't know if I'm missing something, but isnt this as simple as using the Excel intersect operator?:
=AVERAGE(RangeAC 8:8)
Put in the first row of the named Range data(which seems to be 8:8 in your case), and copy down...
Isnt that the same as the suggested VBA UDF from MrExcel forums?
Option 1:
Lets say the name of your range is my_data like this one:
This is the formula to use:
Public Function calculate_avg(rng As Range) As Double
calculate_avg = WorksheetFunction.Average(Range(rng.Cells(1, 1).Address, Cells(rng.Rows.Count + rng.Cells(1, 1).Row - 1, rng.Columns.Count + rng.Cells(1, 1).Column - 1).Address))
End Function
Option 2:
Your named range is the following:
You want the average of the 2. and the 3. column. (C&D).
This is how you get it:
Option Explicit
Public Function calculate_avg(rng As Range, Optional l_starting_col As Long = 1, Optional l_end_col As Long = 1) As Double
Dim my_start As Range
Dim my_end As Range
Set my_start = Cells(rng.Cells(1, 1).Row, l_starting_col + rng.Cells(1, 1).Column - 1)
Set my_end = Cells(rng.Cells(rng.Rows.Count, l_end_col).Row, rng.Columns.Count - rng.Cells(1, l_end_col).Column + l_end_col)
'Debug.Print my_start.Address
'Debug.Print my_end.Address
calculate_avg = WorksheetFunction.Average(Range(my_start, my_end))
End Function
You pass as arguments the starting and the end column. Thus something like this:
?calculate_avg([my_test_big],2,3) in the immediate window returns 72,5. The same can be used as an Excel formula. Good luck! :)+
Option 3
Public Function calculate_avg_row(rng As Range, Optional l_row As Long = 1) As Double
Dim my_start As Range
Dim my_end As Range
Set my_start = Cells(rng.Cells(l_row, 1).Row, rng.Cells(l_row, 1).Column)
Set my_end = rng.Cells(l_row, rng.Columns.Count)
Debug.Print my_start.Address
Debug.Print my_end.Address
calculate_avg_row = WorksheetFunction.Average(Range(my_start, my_end))
End Function
This one works like this:
calculate_avg_row([test_rng],5)
And gives the average of the 5th row of the named range, including all columns of the named range.
Could you not attach a name to a formula as well? If so,go to the "Formula" tab , "Define Name"and type in the "Refers to" box =Average(A1,C1)). In the name box, you could name it "Average" or whatever you choose to call it.The references would continue to be non-contiguous if you dragged to the right or down the sheet. I am not sure if that is exactly what you're seeking.
I appreciate everyone's help. This problem has taken me considerably longer than I was willing to spend on it. Non-contiguous ranges are a nightmare in Excel.
Eric at Mr Excel proposed the most elegant working solution - just one line of VBA.
The third parameter of the Index function Reference form can be used to specify the area number:
= AVERAGE( INDEX(RangeAC, ROW()), INDEX(RangeAC, ROW(), , 2) )
or if RangeAC does not start at row 1, something like:
= AVERAGE( INDEX(RangeAC, ROW()-ROW(RangeAC)+1), INDEX(RangeAC, ROW()-ROW(RangeAC)+1, , 2) )
