I am trying to write a formula in excel to check if the given number is less than any of the previous row value.
For eg.
My excel document is as follows:
A B
1 01/05/2017 10
2 02/05/2017 5
3 03/05/2017 7
4 04/05/2017 11
what m hoping to achieve is
A B C
1 01/05/2017 10 -
2 02/05/2017 5 TRUE (5<10 = true)
3 03/05/2017 7 TRUE (7<5=false & 7<10=true therefor its true)
4 04/05/2017 11 FALSE (11<7=false & 11<5=false and 11<10=false)
So if the current value is less than any of the previous value the field should be true or else false.
Note : the sheet is sorted according to timestamp which cannot change
Thanks for you answers.
If you start in C2 then this formula does what you want:
{=SUM(IF(B2<B$1:B1,1,0))<>0}
Please note, this is an array formula, so you need to hit CTRL+SHIFT+ENTER when you enter the formula for it to work.
It gives me this:
If you prefer R1C1 mode, like I do, the formula is:
{=SUM(IF(RC[-1]<R1C[-1]:R[-1]C[-1],1,0))<>0}

I'm trying to use Excle's SUMIF to calculate totals of Col1 to Col5 for dates that are similar.
My formula is as follows =SUMIF($A2:$A7,A10,$B2:$F7), but this only gives me the total of a single column.
How can I get the Totals of all the columns based on the date like I've shown in my results.
Date Col 1 Col 2 Col 3 Col 4 Col 5
1/5/2017 1 2 2
1/5/2017 5 3 1
1/5/2017 9 5 5
2/5/2017 10 5 3
2/5/2017 20 10 3
2/5/2017 6 8 1 5
Desired Results
1/5/2017 15 7 7 3 1
2/5/2017 30 11 11 11 8
use below formula in cell B11
=SUMIF($A$2:$A$7,$A11,B$2:B$7)
Per the example you provided, One solution is to use SUMPRODUCT
Multiplies corresponding components in the given arrays, and returns the sum of those products
Microsoft Docs give a thorough example, but per SO etiquette, here is an example in case of link-rot: [FYI, I used absolute reference for easier filling across, arbitrary how you get it done though]

Formula is kind of hard to see without clicking on image:
=SUMPRODUCT(($B$3:$B$8=$B$11)*C3:C8)
This basically breaks down like this, it searches the B:B column for a match, and it will naturally return a true or false for the match, or 0/1 counterparts, and multiplys that by the number found in the column to the right (C3:C8), so it will either be 1 * # = # or 0 * # = 0
I see the following formula in a Excel spread sheet and can not understand... Can anyone explain what the test condition "N5=N4:N741" mean?
=MIN(IF(N5=N4:N741,K4:K741))
I made some experiments and still cannot get a clue...
I'm assuming this is an array formula.
What this does is takes the minimum of the range K4:K741 where the value in N4:N741 equals the value in N5.
Let's look at a smaller example. K4:N9 is shown below.
K L M N
----------
4 | 4 2
5 | 8 7
6 | 3 4
7 | 2 1
8 | 7 9
9 | 1 7
The expression N5=N4:N9 is true in row 5 and row 9 since both of those match N5 (value = 7), giving the array {False,True,False,False,False,True} Thus IF(N5=N4:N9,K4:K9) will return {False,8,False,False,False,1} since the True values are replaced by the corresponding row in column K. The MIN() function will then ignore the False parts and return the minimum of the corresponding values in column K (the value 1 since 1 < 8).
I believe it returns an array of true and false values. I also believe the true shows up for the 3 because it is the third item in the array. but that is a guess on my part.
{false, false, true, false,false}
If you change your 5 in E1 to a 1, it will return a true.
Research all of many things excel
I have an excel like
A B START DATE END DATE
1 10 01-jan-2016 02-jan-2016
2 11 01- jan-2051 02-feb-2061
3 1 04-mar-2016 07-mar-2016
4 1 08-mar-2016 10-mar-2016
5 5 01-mar-2016 03-dec-2016
6 5 03-nov-2016 31-dec-4712
I am new to excel. I want to highlight or extract the columns in A column which can be found in B Column along with the start date and end date .
That is result should be like :
A start_date end_date
1 04-mar-2016 07-mar-2016
1 08-mar-2016 10-mar-2016
5 01-mar-2016 03-dec-2016
5 03-nov-2016 31-dec-4712
Can anyone pls suggest something ?
In E2 enter:
=IF(COUNTIF(A:A,B2)>0,"X","")
and copy down. Then filter the table
You can hide any un-wanted columns after that.
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
I have a datasheet with multiple columns that I want to search through - ending up with returning the top row value(s) in the found column(s). How to do this?
My idea would be to combine index with match, but I am rather lost for specific ideas...
January February March April May June
1 2 3 4 5 6
7 8 9 10 11 12
2 7 1 8 4 5
9 10 11 12 6 3
E.g. Search for: ID 3 - should return: March, June

You need to add a VLOOKUP for each columns and after build the result
Following the Scheme:
A7 -> =IF(IFERROR(VLOOKUP($A$9;A1:A5;1;);"")="";"";A1) and autocomplete
D9 -> =SUBSTITUTE(SUBSTITUTE(SUBSTITUTE(CONCATENATE(A7;",";B7;",";C7;",";D7;",";E7;",";F7);",,";",");",,";",");",,";",")
D10 -> =IF(RIGHT(D9;1)=",";LEFT(D9;LEN(D9)-1);D9)
Formula for D9 & D10 it's only to have a good display of the results.
UPDATE Version:
Considering you agree to have the Row 7 ... You can simplyfy using the Result formula:
=INDEX(List;SMALL(IF(List<>"";COLUMN(List)-MIN(COLUMN(List))+1);1))&IFERROR(", " & INDEX(List;SMALL(IF(List<>"";COLUMN(List)-MIN(COLUMN(List))+1);2));"")&IFERROR(", " & INDEX(List;SMALL(IF(List<>"";COLUMN(List)-MIN(COLUMN(List))+1);3));"")
List it's the name Range of Row 7. The formula shall be apply with Ctrl+Shift+Enter.
This formula collect the first 3 value.
If you want more, add for each nth value you have:
&IFERROR(", " & INDEX(List;SMALL(IF(List<>"";COLUMN(List)-MIN(COLUMN(List))+1);3));"")
changing the last numer (in this case 3) and putting 4, 5, 6 ...
Obviusly if the result can be a lot, have few sense... Consider to use VBA !
