=INDEX(C:C,MATCH(A1,B:B,0))
The above formula is being pasted in D1.
I need it to return the C cell that on the same row as the matching A and B fields:
A B C D
77 22 MO91117
88 88 MO91337
99 99 MO12347
22 77 MO91837
Ideally, if I ran the formula in D1, it would return M091837.
Any help would be greatly appreciated!
Answering for completeness. Credit to A.S.H for the answer (in the comments of the question).
Ensure that both columns that you are trying to match are formatted similarly. It looks like the error in this question was that one column was formatted as text, and one column was formatted as a number. As an example the number 4 and the character 4 are represented differently in software, thus not returning expected values when trying to match text and numbers.

I want to know if I can use a macro in Excel to separate data in a single column into different colums according to number of characters. For example, what I have is this in column A
A
AB
ABC
1A
564
8
What I need is this, in colums A, B and C
A AB ABC
8 1A 564
Thanks.
Use the following formula in a new column B next to Column A:
=IFERROR(INDEX($A$1:$A$6,SMALL(IF(LEN($A$1:$A$6)=1,ROW($A$1:$A$6),99999),ROW()),1),"")
Array Formula press Ctrl+Shift+Enter at the same time
and drag it down, it will write the Values of B whose Length is 1, and when it gives empty it means no more Values with Length 1
Small will find the Cell which length is 1 (Row()=1, 1st cell which length=1, Row()=2, 2nd cell which length =1 ...)
If will return all the rows for the corresponding condition
Index will return the Cell
Iferror return empty "" if no more match
For the second column write 2 instead of 1 in LEN($A$1:$A$6)=2
=IFERROR(INDEX($A$1:$A$6,SMALL(IF(LEN($A$1:$A$6)=2,ROW($A$1:$A$6),99999),ROW()),1),"")
For the third column write 3 in LEN($A$1:$A$6)=3
=IFERROR(INDEX($A$1:$A$6,SMALL(IF(LEN($A$1:$A$6)=3,ROW($A$1:$A$6),99999),ROW()),1),"")
I have a file with data in the following format:
text value1 value2
Given value 1 and value 2 meet some criteria, find all the unique text values.
The exact data looks like this:
john 10 20
john 15 35
mark 20 10
mark 25 15
tom 25 40
lee 16 50
If val 1 <=25 and value 2 <=35 the number of unique text = 2 (john and mark)
I have to do this using formulas not filters.
I've been trying combinations of frequency, countifs, sumproducts and a whole range of other methods and can't seem to hit what I'm looking for.
Assuming that text, value1, and value2 are in columns A, B, and C respectively ...
In D1, enter the formula =IF(AND(B1<=25,C1<=35),A1,"") and copy it down the column
Use the formula =SUMPRODUCT((D:D<>"")/COUNTIF(D:D,D:D&"")) for your answer
If you want to list the unique values rather than count them, something like this:-
=IFERROR(INDEX(A$2:A$7,MATCH(0,IF((B$2:B$7>25)+(C$2:C$7>35),1,COUNTIF(E$1:E2,A$2:A$7)),0)),"")
entered as an array formula starting in E2 ( and assuming that you are using columns A,B and C for your data.
See this reference for explanation.
The following formula will do what you are asking:
=SUM(IF(FREQUENCY(IF(B2:B7<=25,IF(C2:C7<=35,MATCH(A2:A7,A2:A7,0),""),""),IF(B2:B7<=25,IF(C2:C7<=35,MATCH(A2:A7,A2:A7,0),""),""))>0,1))
This is an array formula so confirm it with Ctrl-Shift-Enter.
I referred to this webpage.
Also found a shorter one:
=SUM(--(FREQUENCY(IF(B2:B7<=25,IF(C2:C7<=35,COUNTIF(A2:A7,"<"&A2:A7),""),""),COUNTIF(A2:A7,"<"&A2:A7))>0))
Found and modified from hre.
Assume I have the following table:
A B C
1 Week 1 Week 2
2 Melissa 114.7 82.8
3 Mike 105.5 122.5
4 Andrew 102.3 87.5
5 Rich 105.3 65.2
The names are in column A, the Week values are in Row 1. (So A1 is blank, B1 = Week 1, and A2 = Melissa.)
I'm trying to build a formula that looks at all the values in a known range (in this example, B2:C5), chooses the highest value of the bunch (here, 122.5) and returns the name of the person from Column A that got that value. If I use this formula, it works for the values in range B2:B5:
=INDEX(A2:A5,MATCH(MAX(B2:B5),B2:B5,0))
That returns Melissa but if I expand the range to include more than just column B's values, I get an #N/A returned:
=INDEX(A2:A5,MATCH(MAX(B2:C5),B2:C5,0))
The weird part (to my simple brain) is that the MATCH portion of the formula works fine, if I just put in this formula, it returns the highest value of 122.5 from C3:
=MAX(B2:C5,B2:C5,0)
So clearly something it going wrong when I'm using either the MATCH or INDEX commands.
Hopefully this makes sense and someone can point out my error?
Try this:
=INDEX(A:A,MAX((B2:C5=MAX(B2:C5))*ROW(B2:C5)))
This is an array formula and must be confirmed with Ctrl+Shift+Enter.
Note: Match can only search one vector at a time. It can be one row or one column or one array. It cannot be two or more rows or columns or a 2D array.
Do it "twice"? Please try:
=INDEX(A2:A5,IFERROR(MATCH(MAX(B2:C5),B2:B5,0),MATCH(MAX(B2:C5),C2:C5,0)))
If you are going to have up to 52/53 weeks to cope with I'd suggest instead inserting a helper column with the MAX for each row. Make that an new (inserted) ColumnA (say =MAX(C2:BC2) etc.) and a simple VLOOKUP should serve, say:
=VLOOKUP(MAX(A:A),A:B,2,0)
I am trying to find a function that will look at a table and sum all the values where the string appears in my comma separated list. I can get sumproduct to work if my list is separated into different cells, but I need the list to be in one cell. Here is what I'm looking for:
List in Cell A1: 2000,2100,2300
Table: A10:B16
A B
2000 20
2100 25
2200 32
2300 65
2400 72
2500 12
2600 2
I'm looking for a result of: 110
Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks!
I am assuming that you can use another column but not for your list?
If so you can use the formula below in column C
=IF(ISERROR(FIND(A2,$A$1,1))=FALSE,TRUE,FALSE) with A2 being the 1st cell in which the data is contained.
This is searching through your comma separated list and evaluating against the data in column B whether it exists in the list, if so then returns true if not false.
Now you can use the SUMIF function to return those matching true in your new column C.
=SUMIF(C2:C8,TRUE,B2:B8)
If having the evaluation column C is a problem for other users you could always hide it
I have this Data:
var number
a 1
a 4
a 30
b 4
b 50
b 6
b 4
ab 1
I need to find the sum of each time a (var occurs X the number next column right) in excel.
In the case above the answer would be:
a = 36
b = 65
How can I write a formula for this in excel? Can I do this in excel?
Since you are counting the last one as well, I would use this formula:
=SUMIF(A:A,"*"&D2&"*",B:B)
Here, there is the value a in cell B2 and I can drag the formula down for B instead of typing a whole new formula. Handy if you have many like those to look for.
I assume that you have the table you published above in cells A1:B8. In order to do the calculating you would like to do you need to use the array-functionality in Excel. The following syntax in a cell will do:
=SUM(IF("a"=A1:A8,B1:B8))
However, instead of ENTER you need to press COMMAND+SHIFT+ENTER (I am on a Mac so it might be that Windows has a slightly different key combo. The result is that the formula now reads like:
{=SUM(IF("a"=A1:A8,B1:B8))}
This will give you 35 and not 36, but in a similar manner you could sum all the columns with 'ab' and then add that up to the sum of the 'a' columns.
Good luck!
