Lets say I have this kind of spreadsheet:
P1A | P2A | P3A| RA
1 | 2 | 3 | 1
2 | 4 | 2 | 4
1 | 3 | 3 | 3
Where each row represents answers to a question.
First row is title row. P1A - P3A is player1 through player3 answers and RA is the right answer.
Is it possible to add subtotal row which will show number of right answers for each player without adding extra columns for making "IF" tests.
So the total will look like this:
1 | 2 | 1
You can use sum product to find this. Use the formula like below
=SUMPRODUCT((A2:A4=$D2:$D4)*1)

Good Morning,
I'm trying to formulate something in Excel that allow us to check if the value of two columns are new in a list, and if so, assign a new ID for them. If it's not, let it "Blank" or Assign the same ID that have been assigned before(Either way would work for me).
I'm trying to use something with Count.if, but it doesn't fit. As i'm thinking about this for some time, i decided to look for help.
What i want to do is a formula that solves the "Formula" Columns below:
Space|Name|*Formula*
1 | AB | 1
1 | AB | 1
1 | AB | 1
1 | CA | 2
2 | DD | 3
2 | EE | 4
2 | EE | 4
3 | SS | 5
3 | SS | 5
1 | ZZ | 6
1 | AB | 1
Sequential Numbering of Groups of Data
In cell C2 use the following array formula (Ctrl,Shift+Enter):
=IF(COUNTIFS(A$2:A2,A2,B$2:B2,B2)=1,MAX(C$1:C1)+1,
INDEX(C$1:C1,MATCH(1,(A$1:A1=A2)*(B$1:B1=B2),0)))
Then copy C2 and pastedown from C3 to the last cell.
If you're satisfied with just numbering each first occurrence then use the following formula:
=IF(COUNTIFS(A$2:A2,A2,B$2:B2,B2)=1,MAX(C$1:C1)+1,"")
Both solutions use the headers i.e. the headers must not be numbers.
If you don't mind non-sequential numbering, you can just return the index of the first match found as your identifier:
Copy into C2, then fill down as necessary. The match row stop may need alteration based on how much data you have
=MATCH(A2&"#"&B2, A$2:A$100&"#"&B$2:B$100,0)
Or as an array formula (only need to place in C2);
=MATCH(A2:A11&"#"&B2:B11, A2:A11&"#"&B2:B11,0)
| A B
---|-----------------------------------------
1 | Test 1 O.K.
2 | Test 2 O.K.
3 | Test 3 General Error
4 | Test 4 O.K.
5 | Test 5 Detail Error
6 | Test 6 O.K.
---|-----------------------------------------
7 | General Error
8 |
In the table I have a list of different tests (Column A) and their results (Column B).
Now, I am looking for a formula in Cell B7 which always displays the first error it can find within Range("B1:B6"). Basically, something like this:
=VLOOKUP( --> non-o.k. <-- ,B1:B6,1,FALSE)
Is there a VLOOKUP function that looks for the first non-matching criteria?
Maybe try:
=LOOKUP(1,1/(B1:B6<>"O.K."),B1:B6)
Or rather:
=#FILTER(B1:B6,B1:B6<>"O.K.","")
I have the following table in excel.
A | B |
-----|----|
Jack |Jack|
Alice|Jack|
Alice|Jack|
Alice|Ben |
Jack |Paul|
I need to found the rank of each value in A and B column in every single rows. I should mention that I do not need the total "count" for all the pair of "Alice" and "Jack". In fact, For example, I need just the number of repetition of "Alice" and "Jack" for each row increasing sequentially as below.
A | B |Rank|
-----|----|----|
Jack |Jack| 1 |
Alice|Jack| 1 |
Alice|Jack| 2 |
Alice|Ben | 1 |
Alice|Jack| 3 |
Could you please tell me how should I write a function for that in Microsoft excel? Thanks in advance
A simple COUNTIFS() with a dynamic range will do what you want:
=COUNTIFS($A$2:A2,A2,$B$2:B2,B2)
The important part here is what is and what is not an absolute reference.
Here's the scenario. I have a large spreadsheet of candidates for NHS at my school that are given a score by several teachers, community members, etc. I average out their score and then based on that number they are given a score/value from a rubric. I am looking for a formula that will read the value of cell X (their average score) and display a specific value in cell Y(their rubric score). The following is the criteria:
value<2.0, display 0
value>2.0 value<3.0, display 1
value>3.0 value<3.5, display 2
value>3.5 value<3.75, display 3
value>3.75, display 4
I tried looking this up and the closest I found was a formula that I modified to look like this:
=IF(I10="AVERAGE_CHARACTER",IF(I10<2,0,IF(AND(I10>2,I11<3),1,IF(AND(I10>3,I11<3.5),2,IF(AND(I10>3.5,I11<3,75),3,IF(I11>3.75,4,0))))))
All it says is FALSE in the cell. Not sure if I'm using the wrong formula or have a typo in the formula. Thoughts? If there is an alternate or easier method, I'm open for suggestions.
Thanks!

It's easy if you keep the thresholds and the rubric in separate arrays:
=LOOKUP(A1,{0,2,3,3.5,3.75},{0,1,2,3,4})
You might use something like: (value to be changed in A1)
=VLOOKUP(A1,{0,0;2,1;3,2;3.5,3;3.75,4},2)
or having a table like this: (value to be changed in C1)
| A | B |
1 | 0 | 0 |
2 | 2 | 1 |
3 | 3 | 2 |
4 | 3.5 | 3 |
5 | 3.75 | 4 |
=VLOOKUP(C1,A1:B5,2)
I have a table of people with points. The more points, the higher your position. If you have the same points you are equal first, second etc.
| A | B | C
1 | name | position | points
2 | person1 | 1 | 10
3 | person2 | 2 | 9
4 | person3 | 2 | 9
5 | person4 | 2 | 9
6 | person5 | 5 | 8
7 | person6 | 6 | 7
Using an Excel formula, how can I automatically determine the position? I'm currently using an IF statement that works fine for 5 or 6 matching positions, but I can't add 30+ if statements because there's a limit to the formula.
=IF(C7=C2,B2,IF(C7=C3,B2+5,IF(C7=C4,B3+4,....
So if the points column is the same as the position above then it's the same position value. If the points are less than above then it drops a position so the previous row position +1. But if the row above that is the same then it's the previous position +2 and so on.
You could also use the RANK function
=RANK(C2,$C$2:$C$7,0)
It would return data like your example:
| A | B | C
1 | name | position | points
2 | person1 | 1 | 10
3 | person2 | 2 | 9
4 | person3 | 2 | 9
5 | person4 | 2 | 9
6 | person5 | 5 | 8
7 | person6 | 6 | 7
The 'Points' column needs to be sorted into descending order.
Type this to B3, and then pull it to the rest of the rows:
=IF(C3=C2,B2,B2+COUNTIF($C$1:$C3,C2))
What it does is:
If my points equals the previous points, I have the same position.
Othewise count the players with the same score as the previous one, and add their numbers to the previous player's position.
You can use the RANK function in Excel without necessarily sorting the data. Type =RANK(C2,$C$2:$C$7). Excel will find the relative position of the data in C2 and display the answer. Copy the formula through to C7 by dragging the small node at the right end of the cell cursor.
Try this in your forth column
=COUNTIF(B:B; ">" & B2) + 1
Replace B2 with B3 for next row and so on.
What this does is it counts how many records have more points then current one and then this adds current record position (+1 part).
If your C-column is sorted, you can check whether the current row is equal to your last row. If not, use the current row number as the ranking-position, otherwise use the value from above (value for b3):
=IF(C3=C2, B2, ROW()-1)
You can use the LARGE function to get the n-th highest value in case your C-column is not sorted:
=LARGE(C2:C7,3)
The way I've done this, which is a bit convoluted, is as follows:
Sort rows by the points in descending order
Create an additional column (D) starting at D2 with numbers 1,2,3,... total number of positions
In the cell for the actual positions (D2) use the formula if(C2=C1), D2, C1). This checks if the points in this row are the same as the points in the previous row. If it is it gives you the position of the previous row, otherwise it uses the value from column D and thus handle people with equal positions.
Copy this formula down the entire column
Copy the positions column(C), then paste special >> values to overwrite the formula with positions
Resort the rows to their original order
That's worked for me! If there's a better way I'd love to know it!
