The above loan of 50.000 has an interest rate of 2% and an annuity of 3.000.
In the table from C1:H23 the annual development of the remaining loan is displayed.
Based on this helper table I know that the maturity of the loan is 22 years by using the following formula in Cell B4:
B4 = COUNTA(C1:C22)
However, my question is if there is an Excel-Formula that can calculate the maturity in one cell so I do not need the helper table in C1:H23?
I'm recreating a tool I made in Excel as it's getting bigger and performance is getting out of hand.
The issue is that I only have MS Access 2013 on my work laptop and I'm fairly new to the Expression Builder in Access 2013, which has a very limited function base to be honest.
My data has duplicates on the [Location] column, meaning that, I have multiple SKUs on that warehouse location. However, some of my calculations need to be done only once per [Location]. My solution to that, in Excel, was to make a formula (see below) putting 1 only on the first appearance of that location, putting 0 on next appearances. Doing that works like a charm because summing over that [Duplicate] column while imposing multiple criteria returns the number of occurrences of the multiple criteria counting locations only once.
Now, MS Access 2013 Expression Builder has no SUM nor COUNT functions to create a calculated column emulating my [Duplicate] column from Excel. Preferably, I would just input the raw data and let Access populate the calculated fields vs also inputting the calculated fields as well, since that would defeat my original purpose of reducing the computational cost of creating my dashboard.
The question is, how would you create a calculated column, in MS Access 2013 Expression Builder to recreate the below Excel function:
= IF($D$2:$D3=$D4,0,1)
In the sake of reducing the file size (over 100K rows) I even replace the 0 by a blank character "".
Thanks in advance for your help

First and foremost, understand MS Access' Expression Builder is a convenience tool to build an SQL expression. Everything in Query Design ultimately is to build an SQL query. For this reason, you have to use a set-based mentality to see data in whole sets of related tables and not cell-by-cell mindset.
Specifically, to achieve:
putting 1 only on the first appearance of that location, putting 0 on next appearances
Consider a whole set-based approach by joining on a separate, aggregate query to identify the first value of your needed grouping, then calculate needed IIF expression. Below assumes you have an autonumber or primary key field in table (a standard in relational databases):
Aggregate Query (save as a separate query, adjust columns as needed)
SELECT ColumnD, MIN(AutoNumberID) As MinID
FROM myTable
GROUP BY ColumnD
Final Query (join to original table and build final IIF expression)
SELECT m.*, IIF(agg.MinID = AutoNumberID, 1, 0) As Dup_Indicator
FROM myTable m
INNER JOIN myAggregateQuery agg
ON m.[ColumnD] = agg.ColumnD
To demonstrate with random data:

I have two spreadsheets--one represents locations where the road was recently repaired and the second shows all eligible roads based on the road's speed limit. The first spreadsheet has a list of ID's (Column B) and a beginning point (Column E) and ending point (Column F) for the repair location. The second spreadsheet may have multiple matches for each ID (Column A) and the eligible beginning points (Column P) and ending points (Column Q).
I want to compare to see if any portions of the eligible roads are already on the recently repaired list.
Completed repairs = 18SealCoatMap where B=Highway Name, E=Beginning Limit, and F=Ending Limit.

So far, I'm only working with the beginning point of each eligible location. When I get a working formula, I'll copy it for the ending location.
Here's a more varied example...

I tried the following formula but every location came back true:
=IF(A2='18SealCoatMap'!B2:B345,AND(MLOVER45!P2>'18SealCoatMap'!E2:E345,MLOVER45!P2<'18SealCoatMap'!F2:F345),TRUE)
Then I tried:
=INDEX('18SealCoatMap'!B2:B345,MATCH(A2,IF(P2>'18SealCoatMap'!E2:E345,P2<'18SealCoatMap'!F2:F345)),2)
but all of the results came back #N/A
I expect the outcome to be the ID number for the eligible location (or TRUE) if there's a match so that I can schedule repairs for all locations that do not already fall within the limits. Based on the results, I will then schedule locations that are entirely or partially due for repair.
Oil Blending
An oil company produces three brands of oil: Regular, Multigrade, and
Supreme. Each brand of oil is composed of one or more of four crude stocks, each having a different lubrication index. The relevant data concerning the crude stocks are as follows.
+-------------+-------------------+------------------+--------------------------+
| Crude Stock | Lubrication Index | Cost (€/barrell) | Supply per day (barrels) |
+-------------+-------------------+------------------+--------------------------+
| 1 | 20 | 7,10 | 1000 |
+-------------+-------------------+------------------+--------------------------+
| 2 | 40 | 8,50 | 1100 |
+-------------+-------------------+------------------+--------------------------+
| 3 | 30 | 7,70 | 1200 |
+-------------+-------------------+------------------+--------------------------+
| 4 | 55 | 9,00 | 1100 |
+-------------+-------------------+------------------+--------------------------+
Each brand of oil must meet a minimum standard for a lubrication index, and each brand
thus sells at a different price. The relevant data concerning the three brands of oil are as
follows.
+------------+---------------------------+---------------+--------------+
| Brand | Minimum Lubrication index | Selling price | Daily demand |
+------------+---------------------------+---------------+--------------+
| Regular | 25 | 8,50 | 2000 |
+------------+---------------------------+---------------+--------------+
| Multigrade | 35 | 9,00 | 1500 |
+------------+---------------------------+---------------+--------------+
| Supreme | 50 | 10,00 | 750 |
+------------+---------------------------+---------------+--------------+
Determine an optimal output plan for a single day, assuming that production can be either
sold or else stored at negligible cost.
The daily demand figures are subject to alternative interpretations. Investigate the
following:
(a) The daily demands represent potential sales. In other words, the model should contain demand ceilings (upper limits). What is the optimal profit?
(b) The daily demands are strict obligations. In other words, the model should contain demand constraints that are met precisely. What is the optimal profit?
(c) The daily demands represent minimum sales commitments, but all output can be sold. In other words, the model should permit production to exceed the daily commitments. What is the optimal profit?
QUESTION
I've been able to construct the following model in Excel and solve it via OpenSolver, but I'm only able to integrate the mix for the Regular Oil.
I'm trying to work my way through the book Optimization Modeling with Spreadsheets by Kenneth R. Baker but I'm stuck with this exercise. While I could transfer the logic from another blending problem I'm not sure how to construct the model for multiple blendings at once.
I modeled the problem as a minimization problem on the cost of the different crude stocks. Using the Lubrication Index data I built the constraint for the R-Lub Index as a linear constraint. So far the answer seems to be right for the Regular Oil. However using this approach I've no idea how to include even the second Multigrade Oil.

A nudge in the right direction would be a tremendous help.
I think you want your objective to be Profit, which I would define as the sum of sales value - sum of cost.
To include all blends, develop calculations for Volume produced, Lube Index, Cost, and Value for each blend. Apply constraints for volume of stock used, volume produced, and lube index, and optimize for Profit.
I put together the model as follows ...
Columns A through D is the information you provided.
The 10's in G2:J5 are seed values for the stock volumes used in each blend. Solver will manipulate these.
Column K contains the total product volume produced. These will be constrained in different ways, as per your investigation (a), (b), and (c). It is =SUM(G3:J3) filled down.
Column L is the Lube Index for the product. As you noted, it is a linear blend - this is typically not true for blending problems. These values will be constrained in Solver. It is {=SUMPRODUCT(G3:J3,TRANSPOSE($B$2:$B$5))/$K3} filled down. Note that it is a Control-Shift-Enter (CSE) formula, required because of the TRANSPOSE.
Column M is the cost of the stock used to create the product. This is used in the Profit calculation. It is {=SUMPRODUCT(G3:J3,TRANSPOSE($C$2:$C$5))}, filled down. This is also a CSE formula.
Column N is the value of the product produced. This is used in the Profit calculation. It is =K3*C8 filled down.
Row 7 is the total stock volume used to generate all blends. These values will be constrained in Solver. It is =SUM(G3:G5), filled to the right.
The profit calculation is =SUM(N3:N5)-SUM(M3:M5).
Below is a snap of the Solver dialog box ...
It does the following ...
The objective is to maximize profit.
It will do this by manipulating the amount of stock that goes into each blend.
The first four constraints ($G$7 through $J$7) ensure the amount of stock available is not violated.
The next three constraints ($K$3 through $K$5) are for case (a) - make no more than product than there is demand.
The last three constraints ($L$3 through $L$5) make sure the lube index meets the minimum specification.
Not shown - I selected options for GRG Nonlinear and selected "Use Multistart" and deselected "Require Bounds on Variables".
Below is the result for case (a) ...
For case (b), change the constraints on Column K to be "=" instead of "<=". Below is the result ...
For case (c), change the constraints on Column K to be ">=". Below is the result ...
I think I came up with a solution, but I'm unsure if this is correct.

I have a file that has data stored in it the following way (weekly data example)
+----------+----------+----------+----------+----------+----------+
| | WK1 | WK2 | WK3 | WK4 | WK5 |
+----------+----------+----------+----------+----------+----------+
| DT Begin | 29.12.14 | 05.01.15 | 12.01.15 | 19.01.15 | 26.01.15 |
| DT End | 04.01.15 | 11.01.15 | 18.01.15 | 25.01.15 | 01.02.15 |
| XData | 50 | 10 | 10 | 10 | 50 |
+----------+----------+----------+----------+----------+----------+
My problem ist to aggregate the XData on a monthly basis. For that I want to break the data down for days and then calculate the average.
Edit: I changed the table as it was not clear what I meant. This averages to ((50*4)+(10*21)+(5*50))/31 = 22.90

After having done this calculation I want to summarize the data as follows for the entire year:
+-------+-------+-------+------+------+
| | Jan | Feb | Mar | ... |
+-------+-------+-------+------+------+
| XData | 22.90 | 22.00 | 23.1 | ... |
+-------+-------+-------+------+------+
Being a newbie in Excel VBA, I have extreme trouble doing this.
I know how to get to the value of a cell (Range.Value) but not how to find data in a particular week (as WK1 is there for 2014 as well) Range.Find with a date other than the one in the cell itself does not seem to work.
Whar I am asking for is a way to approach this problem. My particular difficulties are to:
Find the data in the worksheet
split the week values into day values (see table above)
Copy the data or hold it in some sort of data structure
calculate the average (this should be ease then)
fill in the data on a monthly basis
As you can see, I have trouble even getting started - any hints would be greatly appreciated. Maybe I'm thinking of this entirely too complicated? Thank you!
