I have an odd problem with some formulas in my Excel sheet for fantasy football:
In one table, I have a list of the picks and players drafted in one year. The columns are as follows: CO = Player name, CP = Year, CQ = Round, CR = Pick, CS = Owner.
Column CO is hand-entered with names, CP is hand-entered with the year 2011, and CQ is hand-entered with the draft round (the first ten are round 1, the second ten are round 2, etc).
Column CR is a formula that calculates the pick number based on the round number and the row it's in. The formula in cell CR2 looks like this: "=CQ2+MOD(ROW(CR2)-2,10)/100+0.01" and evaluates to "1.01". CR3's formula would evaluate to "1.02", CR4 would evaluate to "1.03", etc.
EDIT: Here's a picture of the top 15 rows of this sheet: picks sheet here
On another sheet, I have a 5x10 grid of VLOOKUP formulas where I try to list which owner has which picks. The VLOOKUP formula for each of the cells in this grid is as follows: "=VLOOKUP(1.01,Picks2011[[Pick]:[Owner]],2,FALSE)", where "1.01" is the name of the pick from column CR, "Picks2011" is the name of the table in the previous sheet, and "[[Pick]:[Owner]]" are the columns in the table "Picks2011". This example formula correctly outputs the name of the owner who had pick 1.01 in 2011.
EDIT: Here's a picture of the grid with the failing cells: grid showing the errors
The problem is that certain cells in this sheet are giving me an "#N/A" for no particular reason. For example, pick 2.01 outputs correctly, but pick 2.02 outputs #N/A, and pick 2.03 outputs correctly again. There doesn't seem to be any kind of a pattern to the errors. I've tried deleting both tables and recreating them from scratch, and I can't seem to figure out what's wrong with them.
Travis... I noticed that the VLOOKUP formula is pointing to a grid formatted as a table, which I love since it makes it easier than having to deal with specifying and anchoring ranges.. however, the fact that the N/A issue you are running into appears to happen every other row, makes me wonder if the formatting on those culprit rows is different than the formatting on those rows returning the values you'd expect. Maybe check that, and as a way of troubleshooting try copying data from the working rows into the failing rows to see what value your vlookup returns.. worth the shot.
Take a look at using an INDEX(MATCH) construct instead of VLOOKUP.
Unfortunately VLOOKUP behaves pretty unpredictably if you're not working with just two columns of unique strings.
I wrote an answer here ( Excel - How do programmatically convert 'number stored as Text' to Number? ) which may be just what you're looking for!
INDEX ( <return array> , MATCH ( <lookup value> , <lookup array> , 0) )

I have a recorded drive cycle of a truck which includes speed and coordinates over time. The file looks like this (simplified version)
I want to know the number of times the truck is stopped (when speed = 0) and number them. Therefore, I would like to group the intervals with '0' values (vehicle stopped) in the Speed column and name them in order (Stop 1, Stop 2, etc). Ultimately, my goal would be to somehow be able to calculate the number of stops and duration like this:
Is there any function in Excel which would allow me to do something like that? Thank you.
You can do it using Pivot Tables and a helper column. Also if you have Excel365 with functions like FILTER,UNIQUE and SUMIFS
Formula helper column is just to enumerate properly each group of stops. Notice data need to be sorted properly as your exampel or it won't work:
=IF(D2="STOP";IF(D1="STOP";E1;MAX($E$1:E1)+1);"")
Then pivot table can be inserted:
Helper Column and Vehicle Stop into rows section
Time-step seconds into values section, formated as Time and operation=Sum
Filter field Helper Column to exclude blanks
If you have Excel 365, you can get this output with advanced formulas. In cell J14 formula is:
=UNIQUE(FILTER(D2:D19&E2:E19;D2:D19="STOP"))
And K14 is (and drag down) is:
=SUMIFS($B$2:$B$19;$D$2:$D$19;"STOP";$E$2:$E$19;MID(J14;5;99))
Anyways, I've uploaded the workbook to Gdrive so you can see the Pivot Table and the formulas by yourself. If you don't jave Excel 365, the formulation part may give some errors when you open it:
https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1t1INxGKJRHFexWnSC5LlIi37JrThjajs/edit?usp=sharing&ouid=114417674018837700466&rtpof=true&sd=true
Just as a postscript to this, you could do the same thing without using helper columns by comparing offset ranges to see where the transitions in speed occurred from 0 to 10 (go) or 10 to 0 (stop). The problem is that normally you would have to go outside the data range (a2:a16 and c2:c16) which gets you either a header cell (a1 or c1) or a blank cell (a17 or c17). In the case of time, there is also a special case where the first time-step is taken to be zero.
All this can be avoided in Excel 365 by using vstack to add appropriate dummy values to the beginning or end of the two ranges:
=LET(timeRange,A2:A16,
speedRange,C2:C16,
timeRange1,VSTACK(A2,timeRange),
speedRange1,VSTACK(1,speedRange),
speedRange2,VSTACK(speedRange,1),
startTime,FILTER(timeRange1,(speedRange1>0)*(speedRange2=0)),
endTime,FILTER(timeRange1,(speedRange1=0)*(speedRange2>0)),
stopTime,endTime-startTime,
label,"STOP "&SEQUENCE(ROWS(stopTime)),
HSTACK(label,stopTime))
I have array of numbers in a single column like this:
I want only that numbers for which corresponding negative numbers exist. If number exist 2 times, but negative number exist only one time, then I wanted to retain one positive and one negative number. Similarly, if number exists 3 times, and negative number appears only two times, then I want 2 set of numbers including positive and negative. In this case, I wanted to get output:
5 2 -2 -5
Orders of numbers are not relevant for me. Please do not use VBA. You can create multiple column and apply filter at the end.
Thank you for the response, but I wanted to get the data in column next to the values. Like:
5
2
-2
-5
Please help.
Here's another Office 365 solution:
Name the data range DATA
Put this formula anywhere: =CONCAT(REPT(-ROW(A1:A100)&" "&ROW(A1:A100)&" ",COUNTIF(DATA,"="&ROW(A1:A100)*IF(COUNTIF(DATA,"="&-ROW(A1:A100))<COUNTIF(DATA,"="&ROW(A1:A100)),-1,1))))
That will output the pairs into one cell.
Here's a slightly modified Step 2, which excludes duplicates: =CONCAT(IF((COUNTIF(DATA,"="&-ROW(A1:A100))>0)*(COUNTIF(DATA,"="&ROW(A1:A100))>0),-ROW(A1:A100)&" "&ROW(A1:A100)&" ",""))
Looks like this:
The data doesn't need to be sorted. Both methods work up to 100, but you can easily expand that by changing A100 to A1000 or whatever you need.
Use the vlookup formula to identify the rows, and you can use the Filter & Unique formula to get the list, or a pivot table.
First, immediately next to your data use the formula:
=vlookup(A1*-1,$A$1:$A$1,1,0)
For non-365:
This will produce an error for each instance that doesn't have a match. You can filter at this point to get your list from the existing table. You can also create a pivot table under the Data tab of your ribbon and inserting a pivot table. Filter the #N/A from there to get an exclusive list without hidden rows.
For 365:
You can use the following combination of formulas to get the exclusive list as well.
=UNIQUE(FILTER(B1:B8,ISNUMBER(B1:B8)),0,0) or =UNIQUE(FILTER($B$1:$B$8,ISNUMBER($B$1:$B$8)),0,0) should yield the same results
As ScottCraner mentioned, you can circumvent the helper column in 365 by modifying the formula a bit more:
=UNIQUE(FILTER(A1:A8,ISNUMBER(MATCH(-A1:A8,A1:A8,0)),"")
The Match here is doing something similar to the Vlookup, but housing that logic within the formula, so it's a cleaner solution in my opinion.
Using your data the result was { -5,-2,2,5 }
These are spill formulas so you only need to put it in one spot and it will expand the formula over the adjacent cells below where it's entered for however many cells needed to list all the unique numbers that occur. It takes into account the negatives and so on. This may be a 365 formula, so if you're on another version of excel it may not work.
Edit: Adjusted the instructions to fully address the question.
I have a spreadsheet that shows the actual dollars produced and the expected dollars produced for each employee, where each row is one day and each employee has two columns. I would like to count the number of times an employee came within 10% of their production goal without referencing specific columns. Please look at the example spreadsheet.
I want for the formulas in cells Sheet2!E4:E7 to do what the formulas in Sheet2!E10:E13 do.
I am trying to avoid using direct column references because it causes me to have to go in and update the columns in the formulas every time a new employee is added to the sheet.
I'm no stranger to using INDEX+MATCH, or to converting SUMPRODUCT formulas to INDEX+MATCH. What I can't get past are the formulas in cells Sheet2!E4:E7. If you evaluate the formula you can watch the INDEX+MATCH section on the left side of the formula work correctly, and then a nearly identical INDEX+MATCH section on the right side evaluate to 0 for no apparent reason.
The formula I'm having trouble with is in cell Sheet2!E4:
COUNTIF(INDEX(Sheet1!$A$2:$AZ$314,,MATCH($B4,Sheet1!$A$1:$AZ$1,0)),">"&(INDEX(Sheet1!$A$2:$AZ$314,,MATCH($B4,Sheet1!$A$1:$AZ$1,0)+1)))
The section to the left of the ">" will match with the correct range (Sheet1!B2:B314), however the section to the right of the ">" will evaluate to 0 instead of Sheet1!C2:C314.
This is strange to me because the only real difference between the two sections is the '+1' on the end of the MATCH function, and adding the '+1' to the section to the left of the ">" produces the expected result for the MATCH function (Sheet1!C2:C314) as seen by evaluating the formula in cell Sheet2!E5.
The formula that produces the correct result is in cell Sheet2!E10:
SUMPRODUCT(--(ISNUMBER(Sheet1!$B$2:$B$313)),--(Sheet1!$B$2:$B$313<Sheet1!$C$2:$C$313),--(Sheet1!$B$2:$B$313>=Sheet1!$C$2:$C$313*0.9))
I understand that if I exclude the '$' before the column references, any future additions/subtractions to the columns on Sheet1 will adjust the references accordingly. This solution is not ideal, because there are multiple data sheets (one for each year) where the columns are all different (Dan is column F for 2019, G for 2018, M for 2017, etc.), and the tables using these sheets are laid out in a way that would prevent me from easily being able to auto-update the formulas, so a solution that locates the correct column using the employee's name is preferred.
The correct result should be 2 for Allen and 3 for Torres, but I can only seem to get the INDEX+MATCH formulas to return 0, 12, 15, 16, or 17 (depending on what tweaks I make to the formula).
Any help with this would be greatly appreciated.
You can try this: ARRAY FORMULA CTRL + SHIFT + ENTER
=SUM(IF(ISNUMBER(INDEX($A$1:$E$30,2,MATCH(G9,$A$1:$E$1,0)):INDEX($A$1:$E$30,30,MATCH(G9,$A$1:$E$1,0))),INDEX($A$1:$E$30,2,MATCH(G9,$A$1:$E$1,0)):INDEX($A$1:$E$30,30,MATCH(G9,$A$1:$E$1,0))<INDEX($A$1:$E$30,2,MATCH(G9,$A$1:$E$1,0)+1):INDEX($A$1:$E$30,30,MATCH(G9,$A$1:$E$1,0)+1)*(INDEX($A$1:$E$30,2,MATCH(G9,$A$1:$E$1,0)):INDEX($A$1:$E$30,30,MATCH(G9,$A$1:$E$1,0))>=INDEX($A$1:$E$30,2,MATCH(G9,$A$1:$E$1,0)+1):INDEX($A$1:$E$30,30,MATCH(G9,$A$1:$E$1,0)+1)*0.9))*1)
and adapt the ranges to your needs. It is entered on the same sheet as the data.
Basically this approach uses ARRAY FORMULA CTRL + SHIFT + ENTER
INDEX($A$1:$E$30,2,MATCH(G9,$A$1:$E$1,0)):INDEX($A$1:$E$30,30,MATCH(G9,$A$1:$E$1,0)))
to get the needed ranges. MATCH looks for the right column. the row number can be set as needed, here its is from 2 to30 adapted to your provided data. My search term in this case is in G9 with Allen as content. The result of the formula is $B$2:$B$30. A +1 after Match gives the other range $C$2:$C$30. Both ranges can then be evaluated with the needed conditions
Pull it down and provide Torres in G10. Then the ranges will be adapted to $D$2:$D$30 and $E$2:$E$30.
I have a Simple spreadsheet with 2 rows:
ActualJAN | BudgetJAN | ActualFEB | BudgetFEB | ActualMAR | BudgetMAR ....
100 200 300 400 500 600 ....
I'd like to sum ONLY the Budget columns up to the current month (Month(Today()).
Same for the Actual columns.
So if we're currently in February,
Budget to date would be: 600=200+400
Actual to date would be: 400=100+300
I just can't seem to get there, at least simply and elegantly.
This is a non array formula that performs array like operations. As such large range references should be avoided or you will experience a slow down or potential crash of your system. For a small defined range works great so long as the formula is not repeated too many times either.
Additionally TODAY() is a volitile function which means the formula will recalculate whenever anything in the spreadsheet changes, not just when something related to the formula changes.
This formula is generalized a bit so your data can be located anywhere on your sheet and does not require rearrangement of your data.
To get your actual sum use the following:
=SUMPRODUCT($C$4:$H$4*(COLUMN($C$4:$H$4)-COLUMN($C$4)+1<=MONTH(TODAY())*2)*(LEFT($C$3:$H$3)="A"))
To get your Budget sum use the following:
=SUMPRODUCT($C$4:$H$4*(COLUMN($C$4:$H$4)-COLUMN($C$4)+1<=MONTH(TODAY())*2)*(LEFT($C$3:$H$3)="B"))
Change C4:H4 to suit your number range. ChangeC3:H3 to suit your column title range. Change C4 to be the first cell of your number range.
Caveat: Assumes maximum 12 months starting at January
Proof of concept:
I would recommend structuring your data differently. It would be an easier task if you arrayed everything vertically and divided your data into three columns. The first would be Category, which would be populated with either "Budget" or "Actual." The next column would be Month. After that, of course, you have the Value column. Then, use a basic SUMIF, like "=SUMIF(A1:A6,"Budget",C1:C6)." A1:A6 is the range Excel will scan for the desired variable. In this case, that variable is "Budget." Then, C1:C6 is the value that corresponds to a "Budget" month. That formula will give you the answer you want as long as you expand the SUMIF formula to include the full range of values, e.g., "SUMIF(A1:A317,"Budget",C1:C317)."
So I think I understand what you're trying to do, I cannot make the entire formula without the rest of the spreadsheet but this is working currently:
For the Actual:
=IF(MONTH(TODAY())=1,A2,IF(MONTH(TODAY())=2,A2+C2,IF(MONTH(TODAY())=3,A2+C2+E2,"")))
For the Budget:
=IF(MONTH(TODAY())=1,B2,IF(MONTH(TODAY())=2,B2+D2,IF(MONTH(TODAY())=3,B2+D2+F2,"")))
Here is the spreadsheet I created to test:
If you give me the rest of the data I can complete the formula, basically all you would need to do is add more months to the formula and change the amounts it adds.
I am sure there is probably a more efficient way to accomplish this but this way works.
I suggest a hidden row to control your dates. Say, January is in column C, enter [C1] =1, [D1] =C1, [E1] =C1+1, [F1] =E1. Select E1:F1 and copy to the right until December. Hide row 1.
In row 2 use these two formulas.
[C2] ="Actual" & UPPER(TEXT("1/" & C$1,"mmm"))
[D2] ="Budget" & UPPER(TEXT("1/" & D$1,"mmm"))
Select C2:D2 and copy to the right until December. This exercise isn't required because the resulting display is exactly what you already have. But producing this result with the help of formulas ensures freedom from error, and it is faster. As an added bonus you get a visual check of what's in the hidden row.
Now you can use this formula to extract totals from row 3 where you have your values.
=SUMIFS($C3:$Z3,$C$2:$Z$2,"Budget*",$C$1:$Z$1,"<="&MONTH(TODAY()))
Change "Budget" to "Actual" and the same formula will extract the actual amounts.
I'm working on data from a population of people with allergies. Each person has a unique ExceptionID, and each allergen has a unique AllergenID (451 in total).
I have a data table with 2 columns (ExceptionID and AllergenID), where each person's allergies are listed row by row. This means that the ExceptionID column has repeated values for people with multiple allergies, and the AllergenID column has repeated values for the different people who have that allergy.
I am trying to count how many times each pair of allergies is present in this population (e.g. Allergen#107 & Allergen#108, Allergen#107 & Allergen#109,etc). To keep it simple I've created a matrix of 451 rows X 451 columns, representing every pair (twice actually because A/B and B/A are equivalent).
I somehow need to use the row name (allergenID) to lookup the ExceptionID in my data table, and count the cases where that matches the ExceptionIDs from the column name (also AllergenID). I have no problem using Vlookup or Index/Match, but I'm struggling with the correct combination of a lookup and Sumproduct or Countif formula.
Any help is greatly appreciated!

PS I'm using Excel 2016 if that changes anything.
-=UPDATE=-
So the methods suggested by Dirk and MacroMarc both worked, though I couldn't apply the latter to my full data set (17,000+ rows) because it was taking a long time.
I've since decided to turn this into a VBA macro because we now want to see the counts of triplets instead of pairs.
With the 2 columns you start with, it is as good as impossible... You would need to check every ExceptionID to have 2 different specific AllergenID. Better use a helper-table with ExceptionID as rows and AllergenID as columns (or the opposite... whatever you like). The helper table needs a formula like:
=COUNTIFS($A:$A,$D2,$B:$B,E$1)
Which then can be auto-filled. (The ranges are from my example, you need to change them to your needs).
With this helper-matrix you can easily go for your bigger matrix like this:
=COUNTIFS(E:E,1,INDEX($E:$G,,MATCH($I2,$E$1:$G$1,0)),1)
Again, you can auto-fill with this formula, but you need to change it, so it fits your needs.
Because the columns have the same ID2 (would be your AllergenID), there is no need to lookup them because E:E changes automatically with the auto-fill.
Most important part of the formulas are the $ which should not be messed up, or you can not auto-fill it.
Picture of my self-made example (formulas are from the upper left cell in each table):
If you still have any questions, just ask :)
It can be done straight from your original set-up with array formulas:
Please note that array formulas MUST be entered with Ctrl-Shift-Enter, before copying across and down:
In the example pic, I have NAMED the data ranges $A$2:$A$21 as 'People' and $B$2:$B$21 as 'Allergens' to make it a nicer set-up. You can see in the formula bar how that looks as a formula. However you could use the standard references like this in your first matrix cell:
EDIT: silly me, N function is not needed to turn the booleans into 1's and 0's, since multiplying booleans will do the trick. Below formula works...
SUM(IF(MATCH($A$2:$A$21,$A$2:$A$21,0)=ROW($A$2:$A$21)-1, NOT(ISERROR(MATCH($A$2:$A$21&$E2,$A$2:$A$21&$B$2:$B$21,0)))*NOT(ISERROR(MATCH($A$2:$A$21&F$1, $A$2:$A$21&$B$2:$B$21,0))), 0))
Then copy from F2 across and down. It can be perhaps improved in technique with sumproduct or whatever, but it's just a rough example of the technique....
