Drag across formula and but reference ONE column - excel-formula
I am collecting 25 samples of a certain rock and in that, analyzing data on 8 different elements. I want to drag across a formula that, simply, would be =(C15/C3)
I have these selected rows:
and want to put them here:
But, of course, when I drag it across, it changes the column. Is there a way that I can change the row when I drag across? (both the denominator and the numerator need to change)
Use INDEX()
=INDEX($C:$C,COLUMN(A:A) -1 + 15)/INDEX($C:$C,COLUMN(A:A)-1 + 3)
The COLUMN(A:A) -1 is the counter, the part that moves to the next row as it is dragged across.
The 15 and 3 are the starting rows.

Countif or sumif function in Excel
I have 2 tables, one which gets populated with results (on the right) and the other is the summary of that results table (on the left). Not even sure if countif is the correct approach but I just wondered if there was a formula I can put into B2:D3 which can add up the number of occurences in the results table. So going forward I'll just need to manually insert another row in columns I and J which would update B2:D3
Use this as shown in image below, going forward when you add more values in column I & J, it shall give you the number of occurrences of L, W, & D respectively as per Name
Enter the formula in cell B2 & Fill Down -- Fill Right
=SUMPRODUCT(($A2=$I$1:$J$1)*(B$1=$I:$J))
What this formula does is creates an array of TRUE's & FALSE's, select the Array 1 & Press F9,
($A2=$I$1:$J$1) {TRUE,FALSE}
likewise for the Array 2 as well
(B$1=$I:$J) {FALSE,FALSE;TRUE,TRUE;FALSE,FALSE;FALSE,FALSE;FALSE,FALSE;FALSE,FALSE;FALSE,FALSE;FALSE,FALSE;FALSE,FALSE;FALSE,FALSE;FALSE,FALSE;FALSE,FALSE;FALSE,FALSE;FALSE,FALSE;FALSE,FALSE;FALSE,FALSE;FALSE,FALSE;FALSE,FALSE;FALSE,FALSE;FALSE,FALSE;FALSE,FALSE;FALSE,FALSE;FALSE,FALSE;FALSE,FALSE;FALSE,FALSE;FALSE,FALSE;FALSE,FALSE;FALSE,FALSE;FALSE,FALSE;FALSE,FALSE;FALSE,FALSE;FALSE,FALSE;FALSE,FALSE;FALSE,FALSE;FALSE,FALSE;FALSE,FALSE;FALSE,FALSE;FALSE,FALSE;FALSE,FALSE;FALSE,FALSE;FALSE,FALSE;FALSE,FALSE;FALSE,FALSE;FALSE,FALSE;FALSE,FALSE;FALSE,FALSE;FALSE,FALSE;FALSE,FALSE;FALSE,FALSE;FALSE,FALSE;FALSE,FALSE;FALSE,FALSE;FALSE,FALSE;FALSE,FALSE;FALSE,FALSE;FALSE,FALSE;FALSE,FALSE;FALSE,FALSE;FALSE,FALSE;FALSE,FALSE;FALSE,FALSE;FALSE,FALSE;FALSE,FALSE;FALSE,FALSE;FALSE,FALSE;FALSE,FALSE;FALSE,FALSE;FALSE,FALSE;FALSE,FALSE;FALSE,FALSE;FALSE,FALSE;FALSE,FALSE;FALSE,FALSE;FALSE,FALSE;FALSE,FALSE;FALSE,FALSE;FALSE,FALSE;FALSE,FALSE;FALSE,FALSE;FALSE,FALSE;FALSE,FALSE;FALSE,FALSE;FALSE,FALSE;FALSE,FALSE;FALSE,FALSE;FALSE,FALSE;FALSE,FALSE;FALSE,FALSE;FALSE,FALSE;FALSE,FALSE;FALSE,FALSE;FALSE,FALSE;FALSE,FALSE;FALSE,FALSE;FALSE,FALSE;FALSE,FALSE;FALSE,FALSE;FALSE,FALSE;FALSE,FALSE;FALSE,FALSE;FALSE,FALSE;FALSE,FALSE;FALSE,FALSE;FALSE,FALSE;FALSE,FALSE;FALSE,FALSE;FALSE,FALSE;FALSE,FALSE;FALSE,FALSE;FALSE,FALSE;FALSE,FALSE;FALSE,FALSE;FALSE,FALSE;FALSE,FALSE;FALSE,FALSE;FALSE,FALSE;FALSE,FALSE;FALSE,FALSE;FALSE,FALSE;FALSE,FALSE;FALSE,FALSE;FALSE,FALSE;FALSE,FALSE;FALSE,FALSE;FALSE,FALSE;FALSE,FALSE;FALSE,FALSE;FALSE,FALSE;FALSE,FALSE;FALSE,FALSE;FALSE,FALSE;FALSE,FALSE;FALSE,FALSE;FALSE,FALSE;FALSE,FALSE;FALSE,FALSE;FALSE,FALSE;FALSE,FALSE;FALSE,FALSE;FALSE,FALSE;FALSE,FALSE;FALSE,FALSE;FALSE,FALSE;FALSE,FALSE;FALSE,FALSE;FALSE,FALSE;FALSE,FALSE;FALSE,FALSE;FALSE,FALSE;FALSE,FALSE;FALSE,FALSE;FALSE,FALSE;FALSE,FALSE;FALSE,FALSE;FALSE,FALSE;FALSE,FALSE;FALSE,FALSE;FALSE,FALSE;FALSE,FALSE;FALSE,FALSE;FALSE,FALSE;FALSE,FALSE;FALSE,FALSE;FALSE,FALSE;FALSE,FALSE;FALSE,FALSE;FALSE,FALSE;FALSE,FALSE;FALSE,FALSE;FALSE,FALSE;FALSE,FALSE;FALSE,FALSE;FALSE,FALSE;FALSE,FALSE;FALSE,FALSE;FALSE,FALSE;FALSE,FALSE;FALSE,FALSE;FALSE,FALSE;FALSE,FALSE;FALSE,FALSE;FALSE,FALSE;FALSE,FALSE;FALSE,FALSE;FALSE,FALSE;FALSE,FALSE;FALSE,FALSE;FALSE,FALSE;FALSE,FALSE;FALSE,FALSE;FALSE,FALSE;FALSE,FALSE;FALSE,FALSE;FALSE,FALSE;FALSE,FALSE;FALSE,FALSE;FALSE,FALSE;FALSE,FALSE;FALSE,FALSE;FALSE,FALSE;FALSE,FALSE;FALSE,FALSE;FALSE,FALSE;FALSE,FALSE;FALSE,FALSE;FALSE,FALSE;FALSE,FALSE;FALSE,FALSE;FALSE,FALSE;FALSE,FALSE;FALSE,FALSE;FALSE,FALSE;FALSE,FALSE;FALSE,FALSE;FALSE,FALSE;FALSE,FALSE;FALSE,FALSE;FALSE,FALSE;FALSE,FALSE;FALSE,FALSE;FALSE,FALSE;FALSE,FALSE;FALSE,FALSE;FALSE,FALSE;FALSE,FALSE;FALSE,FALSE;FALSE,FALSE;FALSE,FALSE;FALSE,FALSE;FALSE,FALSE;FALSE,FALSE;FALSE,FALSE;FALSE,FALSE;FALSE,FALSE;FALSE,FALSE;FALSE,FALSE;FALSE,FALSE;FALSE,FALSE;FALSE,FALSE;FALSE,FALSE;FALSE,FALSE;FALSE,FALSE;FALSE,FALSE;FALSE,FALSE;FALSE,FALSE;FALSE,FALSE;FALSE,FALSE;FALSE,FALSE;FALSE,FALSE;FALSE,FALSE;FALSE,FALSE;FALSE,FALSE;FALSE,FALSE;FALSE,FALSE;FALSE,FALSE;FALSE,FALSE;FALSE,FALSE;FALSE,FALSE;FALSE,FALSE;FALSE,FALSE;FALSE,FALSE;FALSE,FALSE;FALSE,FALSE;FALSE,FALSE;FALSE,FALSE;FALSE,FALSE;FALSE,FALSE;FALSE,FALSE;FALSE,FALSE;FALSE,FALSE;FALSE,FALSE;FALSE,FALSE;FALSE,FALSE;FALSE,FALSE;FALSE,FALSE;FALSE,FALSE;FALSE,FALSE;FALSE,FALSE;FALSE,FALSE;FALSE,FALSE;FALSE,FALSE;FALSE,FALSE;FALSE,FALSE;FALSE,FALSE;FALSE,FALSE;FALSE,FALSE;FALSE,FALSE;FALSE,FALSE;FALSE,FALSE;FALSE,FALSE;FALSE,FALSE;FALSE,FALSE;FALSE,FALSE;FALSE,FALSE;FALSE,FALSE;FALSE,FALSE;FALSE,FALSE;FALSE,FALSE;FALSE,FALSE;FALSE,FALSE;FALSE,FALSE;FALSE,FALSE;FALSE,FALSE;FALSE,FALSE;FALSE,FALSE;FALSE,FALSE;FALSE,FALSE;FALSE,FALSE;FALSE,FALSE;FALSE,FALSE;FALSE,FALSE;FALSE,FALSE;FALSE,FALSE;FALSE,FALSE;FALSE,FALSE;FALSE,FALSE;FALSE,FALSE;FALSE,FALSE;FALSE,FALSE;FALSE,FALSE;FALSE,FALSE;FALSE,FALSE;FALSE,FALSE;FALSE,FALSE;FALSE,FALSE;FALSE,FALSE;FALSE,FALSE;FALSE,FALSE;FALSE,FALSE;FALSE,FALSE;FALSE,FALSE;FALSE,FALSE;FALSE,FALSE;FALSE,FALSE;FALSE,FALSE;FALSE,FALSE;FALSE,FALSE;FALSE,FALSE;FALSE,FALSE;FALSE,FALSE;FALSE,FALSE;FALSE,FALSE;FALSE,FALSE;FALSE,FALSE;FALSE,FALSE;FALSE,FALSE;FALSE,FALSE;FALSE,FALSE;FALSE,FALSE;FALSE,FALSE;FALSE,FALSE;FALSE,FALSE;FALSE,FALSE;FALSE,FALSE;FALSE,FALSE;FALSE,FALSE;FALSE,FALSE;FALSE,FALSE;FALSE,FALSE;FALSE,FALSE;FALSE,FALSE;FALSE,FALSE;FALSE,FALSE;FALSE,FALSE;FALSE,FALSE;FALSE,FALSE;FALSE,FALSE;FALSE,FALSE;FALSE,FALSE;FALSE,FALSE;FALSE,FALSE;FALSE,FALSE;FALSE,FALSE;FALSE,FALSE;FALSE,FALSE;FALSE,FALSE;FALSE,FALSE;FALSE,FALSE;FALSE,FALSE;FALSE,FALSE;FALSE,FALSE;FALSE,FALSE;FALSE,FALSE;FALSE,FALSE;FALSE,FALSE;FALSE,FALSE;FALSE,FALSE;FALSE,FALSE;FALSE,FALSE;FALSE,FALSE;FALSE,FALSE;FALSE,FALSE;FALSE,FALSE;FALSE,FALSE;FALSE,FALSE;FALSE,FALSE;FALSE,FALSE;FALSE,FALSE;FALSE,FALSE;FALSE,FALSE;FALSE,FALSE;FALSE,FALSE;FALSE,FALSE;FALSE,FALSE;FALSE,FALSE;FALSE,FALSE;FALSE,FALSE;FALSE,FALSE;FALSE,FALSE;FALSE,FALSE;FALSE,FALSE;FALSE,FALSE;FALSE,FALSE;FALSE,FALSE;FALSE,FALSE;FALSE,FALSE;FALSE,FAL

Each Array 1 will be multiplied by corresponding Array 2 and returns the sum of the products, by far this is safest option and can be used in all Excel Versions.
You can add the following formula into B2: =COUNTIF($H$2:$H$3,B$1) It will count all 'W' occurrences in the H2:H3 range. You can drag this formula to the right. For the B3 cell, you need to update the column from H to I.
Excel Count specifc value across range of columns, but only once per column
I have been trying to work out how to count the number of times a value appears across a range, but only once per column. Using the example data below, the results I want to get to are shown in the end cells. Using the =COUNTIF(A3:G5,J3) counts every time a name appears, causing double-ups on some days. How can I make it count each name once per column, but across multiple columns (there would be 1 column for each day of the year in the real data) Thanks
in A7 enter: =IF(COUNTIF(A3:A5,$J$3)>0,1,0) and copy this across to G7. then in H7 enter: =SUM(A7:G7)
You also can count values using single array formula: =SUM(--(MMULT(TRANSPOSE(--($A$2:$G$4=I2)),ROW($A$1:$A$3)^0)>0)) Array formula after editing is confirmed by pressing ctrl + shift + enter
So the final question is 'count how many columns the name appears in'? In which case you need a hidden row at the top or bottom of the sheet that contains everything in that column. Say it's row 1: a) The formula in A1 would be =CONCAT(A3:A5), B1 would be =CONCAT(B3:B5) and so on (where the range covers rows 3 to 5). CONCAT sticks text strings together. b) the cell doing the counting would be =COUNTIF(A1:G1, "*J3*"). What that does is check which cells in A1:G1 contain J3 among other things. And voila, problem solved.
Increment by 2 for n rows, increment by 4 once and repeat when referencing data from one sheet to another
thank you for taking the time to look at this question. I'm looking for an equation that can easily take the numerical values from Sheet 1 (the first picture) which has 2 blank cells in between values for four values and then has 4 blank cells and then the other four values. I'm not sure if I am making sense but hopefully the picture I have attached helps. Notice 2 blank rows between first 4 rows with values (Rows 2-11) and same between rows 16 and 25. Also notice the 4 blank rows between the two sets of values. For me, this is repeated for 700 values, same set up of 2 blank rows for 4 sets of values and then 4 blank rows and then four sets of values with 2 blank rows. I'm sure there is an easier way to do this. I'm trying to recreate Sheet 2 from Sheet 1 using an equation. Is this possible? Apologies in advance, English isn't my first language.
If the numbers are going to start in B2 and the intervals and offset staggers are static then, =INDEX(B:B, 2+(ROW(1:1)-1)*3+INT((ROW(1:1)-1)/4)*2) If the first number is in S6 then, =INDEX(S:S, 6+(ROW(1:1)-1)*3+INT((ROW(1:1)-1)/4)*2)
Put this in D2:
=IFERROR(INDEX(Sheet1!B:B,AGGREGATE(15,6,ROW(Sheet1!$B$2:INDEX(Sheet1!B:B,MATCH("ZZZ",Sheet1!A:A)))/(Sheet1!$B$2:INDEX(Sheet1!B:B,MATCH("ZZZ",Sheet1!A:A))<>""),ROW(1:1))),"")
And copy down till you get blanks.
This will return the numbers in order that they appear on sheet 1.
The Sheet1!$B$2:INDEX(Sheet1!B:B,MATCH("ZZZ",Sheet1!A:A)) set the data set bounds. This being an array type formula it needs to reference the smallest possible data set. This part finds the last cell in Column A and sets that as the extent of the data set so we do not do unnecessary iterations.
The MATCH part will return the last row that has text in it, if Column A has numbers then we need to change the "ZZZ" to 1E+99 to get the last row in column A with a number.
The AGGREGATE is working like a small in that it will create an array of row numbers and Errors. It will return ROW Numbers where (Sheet1!$B$2:INDEX(Sheet1!B:B,MATCH("ZZZ",Sheet1!A:A))<>"") return true. And an Error where it returns FALSE.
The second criterion 6 in Aggregate tells it to ignore the errors, so it is only looking at the returned row numbers.
The ROW(1:1) is a counter. As the formula is dragged down it will iterate to 2 then 3 and so on. This tells the Aggregate that you want the 1st then the 2nd then the 3rd and so on.
The chosen row number is then passed to the INDEX and the correct value is returned.
If your numbers are in order (smallest to largest like your example) or you want the output in order(smallest to largest) then you can use this simple equation in D2:
=IFERROR(SMALL(Sheet1!B:B,ROW(1:1)),"")
Then copy down till you get blanks.
Here is another formula you might use. =INDIRECT(ADDRESS((INT((ROW()-ROW($A$2))/4)*14+ROW(A$2))+(MOD(ROW()-ROW($A$2),4)*3),COLUMN($A$2),1,1,"Sheet1")) You can paste it to the first cell where you want the result and copy down. Note that $A$2 is the cell from where all the counting starts. If your data start from A3 you can change the references accordingly. Note further that ROW($A$2) is long for 2. I chose this syntax to enable you to identify the meaning. COLUMN($A$2), on the other hand, just identifies Column A as the source of the data to be lifted. Row 2 in this formula is insignificant. It's the A that counts. However, COLUMN($A$2) is long for just 1, meaning column No. 1, meaning A. Once you get your bearing in the formula you can replace COLUMN($A$2) with 1.
How do I count consecutive same values
I would like formulas that count the number of consecutive occurrences in a list of values and places the amount of times it occurs in the next columns. Here is a spreadsheet I created, it lists the results that Arsenal have achieved so far this season. The values in red are what I would like the formulas to achieve. https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/92830254/test-sheet.xlsx I have 3 separate requests: 1) The current run of the team. So if Arsenal won 2 games in a row, then 2 would appear next to each instance of win. Same goes for draw and loss. 2) The current matches that the team has remained unbeaten, i.e. Win or Draw. So if Arsenal had a run like WIN-DRAW-DRAW-WIN, then the 4 would appear in the next column after each of those results. If they lost a game, the column would be blank. 3) Finally, the amount of the matches that the team has scored in, i.e. goals >=1. So if Arsenal's last 3 games were 2,1,1, then 3 would appear after each value in that range. If they failed to score, than it would remain blank. Thanks. Still having problems with implementing this, updated 31st October 2014.
I did this in long approach :) Assuming your data is in Column A with header (meaning actual data starts in A2). In B2 enter this formula and copy up to where your data extend: =IF(OR(A2=A3,A1=A2),"YES","NO") 'this checks if consecutive or not In C2 enter this formula and copy up to where your data extend: =IF(A2=A1,C1,ROW(A2)) 'this gives identity on numbers that re-occured (eg. 4 in your example) In D2 enter this formula and copy up to where your data extend: =COUNTIFS(A:A,A2,B:B,B2,C:C,C2) 'finally, this gives you the values that you want. Hope this helps you a bit. Here's the screenshot:
This will do it. It assumes your values are in A2:A11. Note that the range in the formula extends to A12. This is an array formula and needs to be entered with Ctrl-Shift-Enter. Enter it in B2 and copy down: =IF(A1=A2,B1,MATCH(FALSE,$A2:$A$12=A2,0)-1)
The function you are looking for is countif. It will allow you to count the values in a given range. Count If Reference
Excel: Multiply each cell in row X by corresponding cell in row 2, and get sum
I have a table set up as follows: Column 1 - Customer Name Row 1 - Item Name Row 2 - Item Cost Row 3+- Item Quantity How do I set up the last column to calculate the total cost for each customer? I.e, For each customer row, I want to multiply the number in each cell (= quantity) by the corresponding cell in Row 2 (= cost), and add them all up for the final bill. To clarify what I'm saying I'm attaching the following picture so that we can discuss specifics.
Have you tried SUMPRODUCT - it does exactly what you need, gives the sum of 2 or more multiplied ranges? =SUMPRODUCT(A71:C71,$A$2:$C$2) You can extend the ranges as far as you need. If you want to add columns make sure you don't add at the end, e.g. if you retain one blank column (D currently) and include that in the formula, then if you add a column at D the formula will automatically extend to E
You can use sumproduct but specify the ranges, e.g. =sumproduct(B2:B6,C2:C6), the next row would then be =sumproduct(B2:B6,D2:D6) etc. I'm sure there's a way to "fix" your cost row but it's quite quick doing it this way
If, for example, your first data set is in column A (i.e. per unit cost) and the second data set is in column B (i.e. quantity), and you want the total cost for each item for the specified quantity, place the following formula in C1 =A1*B1 Select C1 and drag the fill handle - this is the small black square at the bottom right corner of the cursor as far down the column as you need. The program will automatically replicate the formula with the correct cell numbers for each row.
One way is to use this formula: =SUM(B4:B5)*B2+SUM(C4:C5)*C2 It is not so cool but you still need to expand the formula even with SUMPRODUCT because the range has to be the same as far as I know. The other way I came up will use a matrix function called MMULT and here is the example: With this array (means you have to click Ctrl + Shift + Enter altogether) formula entered into cell D6: =SUM(MMULT(B2:C2,TRANSPOSE(B3:C5))), you will get your expected result without needing all the subtotals. Please note this is a 2 x 1 By 2 x 3 Matrixformula.
