I have 3 columns in my dataset and i want to add a new column based
on the value from one column.
For ex. I have Birthdate for a user and i want to create a new column with user's
age.
There are several ways to split, combine columns or create new ones from existing columns. Eg: If you have one column called birthdate, you can use the Split operation from the operations panel to create birthyear, birthmonth, birthdate columns. From the year column, you can use the Calculate operation to calculate the age. Hope this helps

How do I add records with multiple fields from one spreadsheet to another spreadsheet matching on a unique ID (like you do with VLOOKUP) and provide a count? The spreadsheet I'm pulling from may have multiple matching IDs. I need to add one row with multiple fields that also has a count of the number of matches.
Example: Unique ID '1112 Town Square Rd0SSR' has 8 records in spreadsheet B. How do I add one record for this ID to Spreadsheet A and have it show the count of 8?
I'm still pretty new to Excel formulas, so don't know where to start on this one. I have used VLOOKUP to add records from one spreadsheet to another but never with counts.
If I have one sheet (Lookup) with the following columns:
ID, Region, Sub region, Population
Then another sheet (Month_Data) with the columns: Year, ID, Name, Winner, Wins
What does it mean I am asked to "append appropriate columns from the Lookup sheet to the Month_data sheet?
Thank you in advance!
It cannot mean to append beneath as the two tables have different column headings (different number of columns) - so it probably refers to a left join (or union) using ID as a common fiel and lookup - i.e. the final table would probably comprise 8 columns (ID being common so need not be replicated).
I'm only guessing here as you haven't provided sample/example data / screenshot etc. to make a more informed guess...
(PS- use index as opposed to vlookup - more versatile as it can reference / lookup columns to the right or left of the lookup value)
I need help with the following problem. I have a file with two tables. In table 1 are data about different people (name, team and size), in table 2 only the name and team. Is it possible that if I enter in table a new name with team, that then in table 1 is automatically created a new column, with the name in row 1 and the team in row 2, inserting the person should be according to the team. If he is in team B, then he should be copied automatically behind to the last person of the corresponding team. For example, in the file the new name is Mike, he is in team B. Now the name should be copied automatically to F1 and the team to F2, all this without changing the columns of the other persons. Is this possible?
I have uploaded the file to Sheets:

You could use the sort and transpose function
=transpose((sort(Tabellenblatt2!A2:B,2,True)))
If you enter this formula into cell A1 of Tabellenblatt1, this will then populate a transpossed sorted table of information.
If you remove people from Tabellenblatt2 it will remove them from Tabellenblatt1, but this should give you a transposed table.
The transpose element is taking the A2:B range and turning it from Vertical to Horizontal.
The sort element is taking the data and sorting it by the 2nd value, in an ascending order
I have the following data
I need a formula which counts all different names combined with the team name (just in case that two teams have a player with the same name) and sorts them according to their frequency of occurrence
I edited this as the sample data is maybe more confusing then the real one.
I can't really rearange the data but i can use a new sheet/table to do calculations or whatever
Just to provide some information for example column F is the minute column G the name and Column H the Team (1 for team in column A, 2 for Team in column B)
This is a very unfortunate data layout and makes reporting difficult. Having to look up the shop name from the shop code does not make things easier. You'd be much better off with a flat table for data entry that looks like this:
The ShopName column is using a Vlookup to return the shop name, the NameAndShop column concatenates the Shop name and the person name. In an Excel table, these formulas are automatically carried into new rows.
With such a layout, you can create a pivot table with about 5 clicks, no formulas, to arrive at
If new data is entered into the source table, all you need to do is refresh the pivot table.
I have a list of transactions that I will be importing into Quickbooks, and because of their file format requirements, each transaction takes up 3 rows in Excel. Is it possible to sort the transactions by date (which is in column D of the first and second of the three rows), while keeping the rows grouped by transaction?
Thanks!
use custom sort by two columns - for each transaction add one column with unique number (maybe you already has one) and then sort first by that column and second by your desired column with date
I created a new column and used a function where, if it is a different transaction then assign a new value, but if it isn't then just keep the same:
=IF(NOT(B2=B1), Q1+1,Q1)
This will for example give different numbers to your transactions. And then you can sort by this new column.
=IF(NOT(B2=B1), RAND(),Q1)
Use this if you want to do it at random, and then sort by that column
