need help here :) I am not excel expert
I have a simple spread sheet with some data and I need to find the matching values from another sheet. Some help would be appreciated.
The data looks like this:
d1 d2 d3 d4 d5
c1 1 5 4 4 3
c2 2 4 9 1 2
c3 4 4 7 8 4
c4 4 7 1 9 2
c5 4 4 7 6 8
So above c1, c2 etc. means Code's and d1, d2 etc. means Dates (future dates).
The numbers between I need to catch in a different spread sheet
example
Code: c2 - User provides the code
Date: d4 - User provides the date
Value: 1 - this value I need to get with formula
Should I attach example file if needed?
If possible to use performance wise formulas as might be quite few of them. Perhaps INDEX/MATCH? if I know how to use it :) but I think also INDEX/MATCH will slow it down a lot, I might be wrong also :)
thank you for your help in advance.
EDIT:
Added screenshot, might help also what is needed.
Assumptions / prerequisites:
Sheet1 cells (A1:F6) is your data / headers from your example
Sheet2 cell B3 is where the user types the code
Sheet2 cell B4 is where they type the date
Sheet2 cell B5 is where the value displays
this would be your formula in Sheet2 C5
=INDEX(Sheet1!A:F,MATCH(B3,Sheet1!$A:$A,0),MATCH(B4,Sheet1!1:1,0))

I have no idea what is wrong with my formula and I would like to learn from my mistakes:
I have a range of values, say A1:A100, and I want to count the number of times a value from 0 to 10 appears, 10 - 20 appears etc. and put it into a frequency table.
I am put value 0 and 10 in cells B1 and C1 respectively, 10 and 20 in B2 and C2 respectively etc. (i.e. the frequency table is from columns B to D)
In D1, my formula is:
=COUNTIF($A$1:$A$100,AND(">="&B1,"<="&C1)
However, this formula doesn't seem to work and always returns 0. It would be greatly appreciated if anyone can enlighten me on why my formula doesn't work. Thanks in advance!
Use COUNTIFS for multiple conditions.
=COUNTIFS($A$1:$A$100, ">="&B1, $A$1:$A$100, "<="&C1)
I want to use the Max/Min function to calculate the minimum number up to the current row, but not count anything after that row. See example below:
A B C
1 10 =MIN(A1:A1) I Want B1 to only count MIN from A1 to A1 from here, then
2 14 =MIN(A1:A2) from here I want B2 to count MIN from A1 to A2,
3 9 =MIN(A1:A3) Then A1 to A3,
4 6 =MIN(A1:A4) etc,
5 14 =MIN(A1:A5) etc.
I could go back and update each row manually, but I have over 700 rows that I want all this to apply to. Is there anyone who can help me with a solution to this problem?
Use this formula in B1, and copy downwards:
=MIN($A$1:$A1)
This is called maintaining referential integrity while writing any excel formula. It should give the desired result on copy towards right or downwards.
I realize my title doesn't really explain what I'm asking as I don't know the correct terminology but bear with me and I'll explain my question.
I know how to link two cells so that if one changes, the other does as well (i.e. cell C3 is linked to cell E5 by selecting cell C3 and entering "=E5"). But how do I link the information in the cell to another cell?
If my worksheet looks like this:
cell B1 - Grapes, cell C1 - 50
cell B2 - Apples, cell C2 - 60
and I link cell F1 to cell C2 with "=C2". If I change the order of cell B1 and cell B2 to become alphabetical then cell F1 is no longer linked to the value in cell C2 (50) but changes to the value that now becomes cell C2 (60). How do I link cell F1 to the actual value (50) in cell C2 even if the order changes.
Help... Thank you!
Not sure if this is an efficient method; if i correctly understood your question then you can use = to link two cells For example:
Sheet one can look like this
A B C D E
1 1 2 3 4 5
2 5 4 3 2 1
3 1 2 3 4 5
Total 7 8 9 10 11
Sheet two requires cell links so you do:
TotalForA =Sheet1!A4 //output will be 7
TotalForB =Sheet1!B4 //output will be 8
.
.
.
In a simple word you can use = sign and click on whatever cell you're like to get.
I need advice/help. I am working on calculation in excel where I have data like mentioned below.
. A B C D E F G H
1| A275 A277 A273 A777 A777 TOTAL A222 GRAND TOTAL
2| 5 7 4 3 4 7 7
Now, I want to count row 2 based on the header.
Here is the condition.
If A1 <> B1 then take A1, if B1 <> C1 then take B1, if C1 <> D1 then C1, so on.
But tricky part is...
If D1<>E1 then D1 else (if E1<>F1 then E1 else (if F1 = "TOTAL" then F1 else(if F1<>G1 then F1)))
In short H2 should have 30 and not 37.
Added comments:------------------------------------
So, Basically if A1<>B1 then take A1 but if A1=B1 then take B1, but then for B1, its a same rule like if B1<>C1 then take B1, but if B1=C1 then take C1 and for C1, same rule. Stopping point will be "TOTAL". Along with these logic I need to check if any cell in row 1 is "TOTAL" then take value for same column. Now this "TOTAL" can be in any cell in row 1.
So from above table my calculation will be 5(A2) + 7(B2) + 4(C2) + 7(F2) + 7(G2) = 30
In this calculation I have not included D2 and E2 as D2=E2 so I took D2, here E2<>F2 so I should have taken E2, but as F2="TOTAL" so I took F2 and not D2 and E2.
I hope this make sense. (Sorry, I know its confusing.)
I have data in more then 100 columns.
Can this be achieved using Macro?
------------------------------------------------------------
Another pain point is data and header are dynamic, so I can't have a fix format. Logic should be in a way that can handle the dynamic data and header.
Any help or suggestion will be greatly appreciated.
I achieved the results you want with this.
Add a helper row. In cell A3 write this formula and drag it to the right:
=IF(OR(A$1=B$1,B$1="TOTAL"),0,1)
Calculate sum in say cell H4 (not H2 because if the formula refers to entire row 2 there will be circular reference):
=SUMIF($3:$3,1,$2:$2)
This is how my data looks like:
C1 C2 C3
1 1 a
2 2 a
3 3 a
4 4 a
7 5 a
8 6 a
9 7 a
10 8 a
9 a
10 b
You see that C1 is a subset of column C2. I want now to extract only the data from C2 - together with the corresponding value from C3 - that matches C1. The extracted data just needs to be copied to another column
Could someone give me a hand?
Assuming your data in C1 starts from A2, do the following:
Type in cell D2 (column C4): =IFERROR(VLOOKUP($A2,$B:$C,1,0),"")
Type in cell E2 (column C5): =IFERROR(VLOOKUP($A2,$B:$C,2,0),"")
Autofill both formulas.
This will give you what you want, missing values will be shown as blanks. If you want concatenate both parts of out - just put the aggregate formula =ISERROR(...)&ISERROR(...) to any column row 2 you like.
