I'm not sure if I'm over complicating this...
basically I'd like to have a formula which is
if the c column is less than 6, then look up the max value in B but display the value of C
so far I have this but I'd like it to show 2, not 437
{=MAX(IF(C2:C12<6,B2:B12, 0))}
any advice is appreciated. i'm shy, be nice..thanks
A B C
cat 110 3
dog 148 4
rooster 36 7
duck 32 8
pig 437 2
horse 44 6
eagle 215 5
dolphin 21 1
panda 2 9
iguana 257 10
fish 199 11
edit:
maybe something like
{=INDEX(C2:C12,MATCH(MAX(IF(C2:C12<6,C2:C12)),C2:C12,0))}
but I don't see where to put b2:b12
You really need two conditions
1) Column B is equal to =MAX(IF(C2:C12<6,B2:B12))
2) Column C is <6
so you can INDEX column C when those two are met, i.e.
=INDEX(C2:C12,MATCH(1,(B2:B12=MAX(IF(C2:C12<6,B2:B12)))*(C2:C12<6),0))
confirmed with CTRL+SHIFT+ENTER
{=IF(C2<6,INDEX($C$2:$C$12,MATCH(MAX($B$2:$B$12),$B$2:$B$12,0)),0)}
You were almost there..
Basically if C<6 , find max of B , lookup it in B:C and display corresponding C
{=IFERROR(VLOOKUP(MAX(IF(C2:C12<6,B2:B12, 0)),B2:C12,2,FALSE),0)}
Since your question doesn't clarify what if c>=6 I assume you don't want value.
Can answer more precisely if you clarify.
Mark this as answer if that's correct.
Hope this helps!
As I could see you requested a single INDEX formula:
{=INDEX($C$2:$C$12,MATCH(MAX(IF($C$2:$C$12<6,$B$2:$B$12,0),0),IF($C$2:$C$12<6,$B$2:$B$12,0),0))}
This is an array formula, hit Ctrl+Shift+Enter while still in the formula bar.
Lets break this down.
=INDEX(C:C, - Index column C as these are the values you want returned
MATCH(IF(C:C<6,B:B,0), - Find the largest value from the following array in the array and return it's relative position for INDEX()
IF(C:C<6,B:B,0),0)) - If the value in column c is less than 6 then add the column B value to the array, otherwise add 0

Consider the sheet below:
A
B
1
4
3
5
2
2
5
0

1
I want to find if there is a match for each row of column 1 with any row of column 2. So ideally this would give me:
A
B
C
1
4
Yes
3
5
No
2
2
Yes
5
0
Yes
4
1
Yes
As a first and simple step, I am using =MATCH(A2,B2:B6) to get the index of the match and then manually calling this across the rows to get something like this:
A
B
C
1
4
6
3
5
-
2
2
3
5
0

4
1

I am now having a problem:
I want to apply this for a row of 500 in A and 2000 in B. I was thinking of manually filling in the first few rows and then select and drag over the first 500 rows. This however does not work as for each subsequent cell, it just changes the formula to =MATCH(A(N +1),B2 + N:B6 + N) which gives me wrong values and at worst, just repeats the older pattern ahead.
Can anyone help me with how I can just use the MATCH function to find all the values in A that are present in B?
Let me continue where you arrived:
=MATCH(A2,B2:B6,0)
(You forgot the last zero)
This formula is correct, but it is also wrong.
???
Well, when you drag it down, you get:
=MATCH(A3,B3:B7,0)
This is not what you want: you want the search term (A2) to change into A3 but you want the search array (B2:B6) not to change. In order to get this done, you need to work with absolute references. This looks like this:
=MATCH(A2,B$2:B$6,0)
When you drag this down, this is what you get:
=MATCH(A3,B$2:B$6,0)
=> ok so far.
Problem now: you need to translate your current results (a number or #N/A) into "yes" or "no". This can be done in numerous ways, let me give you an example:
=IF(ISERROR(MATCH(A2,B$2:B$6,0)),"No","Yes")
One remark: there exists an IFERROR() function in Excel, but this does not have an "else"-clause, hence the choice for the IF(ISERROR( combination.
Within Sheets you may try this out:
=index(if(len(A2:A),if(ifna(xmatch(A2:A,B2:B)),"Yes","No"),))
If you want to separate those matching values then could use FILTER() function.
=FILTER(A1:A5,COUNTIFS(B1:B9,A1:A5))
And for YES, NO dynamically, try MAP() function.
=MAP(A1:A5,LAMBDA(x,ISNUMBER(XMATCH(x,B:B))))
Thanks so much for looking at my question! I am trying to create a formula that subtracts a specific value from another formula. However, that specific value may change.
Example:
A B C D
1 1 100 =(2000 - ( if A = 1, i want to subtract the C value where B =1))
1 2 250
1 3 310
1 4 .
2 1
2 2 =((2000 - ( if A = 2, i want to subtract the C value where B =1))
2 3
2 4
3 1
3 2
3 3
3 4
(A,B,C,D are the columns)
Hopefully this makes sense! I am trying to subtract the C value that goes along with the B1 value for each different A.
I was thinking an index match of some sort but wasnt exactly sure how to do that when the A's change. Thanks so much in advance for help!
INDIRECT or INDEX functions can help you. See this answer.
Would something like a nested if function work for you here? For example:
=IF(A2=1,IF(B2=1,2000-C2,"Enter calculation if B2<>1"),"Enter calculation if A2"<>1)
If this works, then you can simply copy/paste the function down the rows in column D.
I have the following little table. I'd like a formula that finds the number of values where the cumulative total (of column B) is less than some threshold (tx).
I tried
{=MIN((SUM(OFFSET(B1,0,0,A1:A17))>tx)*A1:A17)-1}
but OFFSET doesn't seem to be arrayable like that. Obviously, this would be trivial with a helper column, but for certain reasons that is not possible.
So the correct answer here should be 10.
tx = .8
A B
1 0.112106465
2 0.110981698
3 0.091959216
4 0.082163441
5 0.073292066
6 0.072407529
7 0.071646289
8 0.061646797
9 0.06011448
10 0.057566381
11 0.050341978
12 0.048227061
13 0.043207335
14 0.03940462
15 0.012914194
16 0.007603446
17 0.004417003
You're not really looking for a MIN; rather it should be MAX that follows your condition.
In E7 as a standard (non-array) formula,
=AGGREGATE(14, 6, ROW(1:17)/(SUBTOTAL(9, OFFSET(B1, 0, 0, ROW(1:17), 1))<D7), 1)
I prefer the following array formula** due to its non-volatility:
=MATCH(TRUE,MMULT(0+(ROW(B1:B17)>=TRANSPOSE(ROW(B1:B17))),B1:B17)>=0.8,0)-1
Regards
The most succinct way to do it I've found is
=SUM(--(SUBTOTAL(9,OFFSET(B1,,,A1:A17))<0.8))
entered as an array formula, or, equivalently,
=SUMPRODUCT(--(SUBTOTAL(9,OFFSET(B1,,,A1:A17))<0.8))
I have a column of values, and then I have two columns with simple marking like just an 'X':
A B C
1
2
3 VALUES: PERSON1: PERSON2
4 500 X
5 180 X
6 100 X
7 200 X
8 TOTAL:
9 =SUM(A4:A8) ?? ??
Can I create a statement that will check that if a box has an X in it the value of the A-column cell on the same row will be subtracted from the total summation?
In the example above PERSON2 should have a statement with the values '=980-180-100' which is 700.
I can easily do it for one cell: =IF(B4="X", A9-A4) but I can't quite get around with doing with multiple.
I suspect:
=SUM(A4:A7)-SUMIF(B4:B7,"X",A4:A7)
is what you are after, or perhaps:
=SUM(A4:A7)-2*SUMIF(B4:B7,"X",A4:A7)
but a better solution is from #barry houdini:
in B9 try this formula copied to C9 =SUMIF(B4:B7,"<>X",$A4:$A7)
You can use something like
=$A9-SUMIFS($A4:$A7,B4:B7,"X")
An Excel table consists of two columns (e.g., A1:B5):
0 10
1 20
3 30
2 20
1 59
I need to get the minimal value in column B for which the corresponding value in column A is greater than zero. In the above example it should be 20.
I tried using various combinations of INDEX(), MIN(), IF(), ROW(), array formulas, etc. - but I just can't figure out how to do it. :-( Any help would be appreciated.
Grsm almost had it
if you enter the following formula in C1 as an array (Ctrl+Shift+End)
=MIN(IF(A1:A5>0,B1:B5))
That should do the trick.
I think you have to make an extra column..
A B C D
0 10 false 20
1 20 20
3 30 30
2 40 40
1 50 50
column C : =IF(A1>0;B1)
cell D1: =MIN(C1:C5)
You need to do it in 2 stages
First use the MIN function to find the minimum
Then take that answer and use the LOOKUP function to select the row and column that you need.
Check the "Minimum And Maximum Values In A Range" example in http://www.cpearson.com/Excel/excelF.htm (you can download the same as well from the same section)

This is not identical, but very similar: Excel VBA - Find minimum of list of values?
