Conditional formatting in Excel for totals - excel

X Y Z
1 5 0
1 4 0
1 9 1
2 5 0
2 4 0
2 **8** 1
Basically, I have an excel table with 3 variables. X is an group variable, Y is a value, and Z is a dummy variable that indicates if the Y value in that row is a total or not. Is there any way to write the conditional formatting rule so that discrepancies between SUM(Y) over the same X, and the supposed total are highlighted?
In the table above, The third row with X would not be marked because 5+4=9, so there is no discrepancy, but the 6th row would be marked because 5+4!=8, so that one should be highlighter. I appreciate your help!

Use SUMIFS();
Assuming your data starts in A1
=AND(SUMIFS($B:$B,$A:$A,$A1,$C:$C,0)<>$B1,$C1=1)
Apply it to B:B.

Excel Formula for finding Y maximum in a given X range

I have an XY table in excel. I would like to find the maximum Y value in a given X range. Example data given below. What equation can I use, in an unrelated cell, to output the max Y value in between the X range 2:6
X
Y
1
4
2
7
3
0
4
8
5
4
6
3
Using MAXIFS:
=MAXIFS(B:B,A:A,">=2",A:A,"<=6")
As noted by #ScottCraner, if your version of Excel does not support MAXIFS, see this thread for alternatives.
I understand your question so:
you want the biggest number in column Y which also is present in X
=MAXIFS(B2:B7;B2:B7;">="&MIN(A2:A7);B2:B7;"<="&MAX(A2:A7))

Calculating average of cells if a condition is met

I have a dataset that gives the price of a security for each month for 12 years:
Month: 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 1 2 3 4 .....
Year: 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 2 2 2 2
Price: x x x x x x x x x x x x x x x x
I want to write a formula such that the average price for each quarter of the security is calculated and stored in the following table:
Quarter: 1 2 3 4 1 2 3 4
Year: 1 1 1 1 2 2 2 2
Price: y y y y y y y y
The list goes on to 40 years
What would be the simplest way of doing so without creating any additional cells?
I currently use an averageifs formula, but not sure if that is the most efficient way of doing so.
To be honest, the simplest and easy way without trying to get complicated formulas, would be transposing your data, and then Pivot Table:
TRANSPOSING: You can do this with a formula if you have Excel 2019 or higher=TRANSPOSE(A1:Y3). If not, you can copy/paste transposing:
FUNCTION TRANSPOSE
PIVOT TABLE: Your easiest shot is Pivot Table. Just set it up like this:
Year field in columns section
Month Field in rows section
Price field into values section and make sure yous et it up to calculate average instead of count or sum up
Group Month Field in groups of 3, to make quarters.

Find summation and count only if they are EQUAL in Excel

In EXCEL sheet I have 1728 rows and 2 columns (L and O). I am doing addition of these 2 columns in column P. Further I want to count the occurrence in this column if addition is EQUAL to 2 or 4 or 6 or 8 BUT condition here is that The COUNT should be such that BOTH the columns L and O are EQUAL and Their addition is either 2 or 4 or 6 or 8.
This means that only the columns in L and O with values "1+1" , "2+2", "3+3", "4+4" should be counted. The addition of "1+3", "4+2" should not be counted.
=COUNTIF(P:P,4)
does not work.
L O P M
===========================
1 1 2 1 (NO OF 2'S)
2 2 4 1 (NO OF 4'S)
3 3 6 1 (NO OF 6'S)
1 3 4* NO TO BE COUNTED
4 4 8 1 (NO OF 8'S)
2 4 6* NOT TO BE COUNTED
4 2 6*
AS SEEN ABOVE RESULT OF COUNTING IS STORED IN M. Let me know the formula
=IF(L29=M29,SUMPRODUCT(--($L$29:$L$35=$M$29:$M$35)*(L29=$L$29:$L$35)),"Not Counted")
My data started in row 29 so you will need to adjust the references. It counts the entire table in 1 shot. So if you added a row to the bottom that had 1 and 1 and 2, the results in column M in your first row would become 2 and the same for the row you just added.
Will this formula help...?
=IF(AND(A1=B1,OR(SUM(A1,B1)=2,SUM(A1,B1)=4,SUM(A1,B1)=6,SUM(A1,B1)=8)),SUM(A1,B1),"NOT TO BE COUNTED")
Just drag the formula till you have data. You will need to adjust the references.
Here is the reference data.

Finding the first specific value above a certain cell

I'm looking for a way to find the first specific value above a certain cell.
Using the example below, in the result column every time I hit a A in COL2, I need to substract the value in COL1 to the first A value above.
The trouble seems finding a way to keep the range dynamic...
I thought of =IF(B5="A";A5-INDIRECT("A"&MATCH("A";B:B;0));"")
But of course that only works for the first one as Match will always pick up the first one.
Any ideas? Thanks!
Example :
COL1 COL2 Result
1 A
2 0
3 0
4 A 4 - 1 = 3
5 0
6 A 6 - 4 = 2
7 0
8 0
9 0
10 A 10 - 6 = 4
Try this:
=IF(AND(ROW(B2)<>2,B2="A"),A2-INDEX($A$1:$A1,AGGREGATE(14,6,ROW($1:1)/($B$1:$B1="A"),1)),"")
The AGGREGATE() Function was introduced in 2010.
In D2 enter =IF(B2="A",A2-INDIRECT("A"&MATCH("A"&(E2-1),F:F,0)),"")
In E2 enter =IF(B2="a",COUNTIFS($B$2:B2,"a"),"")
In F2 enter =B2&E2
Copy formulas from D, E and F down all your rows
Column D is the result you're looking for

excel formula depending on dynamic values in different columns

I am trying to create an excel formula using SUM and SUMIF but cannot find how to.
I have a first column(A) which is the total time of a piece of work and then for each row the time spent in that task during each day(columns B, C, ...).
For each day(columns B, C, ...), the formula would return the sum of only those values in column A that(for that specific column), relate to task that have been completed that day: the sum of all cells within a row is equals or more than the time the task was allocated.
Example for one 12-hours task:
A B C D E
12 4 6 2 0
Using the formula:
A B C D E
12 4 6 2 0
0 0 0 12 0
where 12 is displayed in column D because 4 + 6 + 2 = 12(Column A)
Second example(3 tasks):
A B C D E
10 9 0 1 0
21 8 8 5 0
5 0 0 3 2
Using the formula:
A B C D E
10 9 0 1 0
21 8 8 5 0
5 0 0 3 2
0 0 0 31 5
Where:
31(Day D) = 10(Task 1 is finished that day) + 21(Task 2 is finished that day too)
5(Day E) = Task 3 is finished that day
Tried this formula (for Day B):
SUMIF(B1:B3,">=A1:A3",A1:A3)
(Sum those values in column A if the cells in that row p to column B(in this case just B) are >= than those iterated).
Then for column C, it would be,
SUMIF(C1:C3 + B1:B3,">=A1:A3",A1:A3)
The above examples did not work(first returns zero, second is an invalid formula),
Any ideas?
Thank you.
Formula below given by user ServerS works fine:
Col B:
=IF(SUM(B2)=A2,A2,0)+IF(SUM(B3)=A3,A3,0)+IF(SUM(B4)=A4,A4,0)+IF(SUM(B5)=A5,A5,0)
Col C:
=IF(SUM(B2:C2)=A2,A2,0)+IF(SUM(B3:C3)=A3,A3,0)+IF(SUM(B4:C4)=A4,A4,0)+IF(SUM(B5:C5)=A5,A5,0)
Col D
=IF(SUM(B2:D2)=A2,A2,0)+IF(SUM(B3:D3)=A3,A3,0)+IF(SUM(B4:D4)=A4,A4,0)+IF(SUM(B5:D5)=A5,A5,0)
However there are two inconvenients:
if new rows are added it needs to be adapted and include another IF(). Would be better to have a generic SUM if IF's
Trying to propagate the formula to adjacent cells is not possible as it would change part of the formula like "=A2,A2,0" to "=A3,A3,0" which needs to keep the same.
Any other ideas that improve this, if possible, are appreciated.
You can avoid using IF with a sumproduct. This method allows use to insert any row you want. Make sure range are correct (eg A2:A5 with 5 the last row used). I would go for this :
in column B :
=SOMMEPROD(($A$2:$A$5)*($A$2:$A$5=(B2:B5)))
in column C :
=SUMPRODUCT(($A$2:$A$5)*($A$2:$A$5=(B2:B5+C2:C5)))-B6
in column D
=SUMPRODUCT(($A$2:$A$5)*($A$2:$A$5=(B2:B5+C2:C5+D2:D5)))-C6-B6
in column E
=SUMPRODUCT(($A$2:$A$5)*($A$2:$A$5=(B2:B5+C2:C5+D2:D5+E2:E5)))-D6-C6-B6
