Please help me to formulate the following formula:
Actually I am trying to make a costing sheet for recipes.. I am listing all the items in sheet 1 and on sheet 2 all recipes with their quantities of items..
sheet 1
A B
1 item price/gm
2 chicken 10
Sheet 2
A B C
1 item Qty (in gm) cost
2 chicken 150 formula?
now in sheet 2 C2 I need a formula that matches sheet2 A2 with sheet1 column A and then multiply sheet2 B2 with sheet1 B2.. and this will same for all the items in sheet2.. if I put any item in sheet2 it looks up in sheet1 and then multiply the price with qty in sheet2..
Use VLOOKUP:
=B2*VLOOKUP(A1,'Sheet 1'!A:B,2,false)
I want to give same number to the duplicate data in excel
A B
apple 1
apple 1
apple 1
ball 2
bat 3
dog 4
dog 4
goat 5
Sort your column A then insert the number 1 in cell B2 and the following function in cell B3 and copy down.
in cell B2=1
function in cell B3: =if(A3=A2, B2, B2+1)
Update
It is also possible to do it in a dynamic way that does not require sorting.
Paste the following formula in B2 and copy down the column:
=IFERROR(INDEX(B$1:B1,MATCH(A2,A$1:A1,0)),MAX(B$1:B1)+1)
I realize my title doesn't really explain what I'm asking as I don't know the correct terminology but bear with me and I'll explain my question.
I know how to link two cells so that if one changes, the other does as well (i.e. cell C3 is linked to cell E5 by selecting cell C3 and entering "=E5"). But how do I link the information in the cell to another cell?
If my worksheet looks like this:
cell B1 - Grapes, cell C1 - 50
cell B2 - Apples, cell C2 - 60
and I link cell F1 to cell C2 with "=C2". If I change the order of cell B1 and cell B2 to become alphabetical then cell F1 is no longer linked to the value in cell C2 (50) but changes to the value that now becomes cell C2 (60). How do I link cell F1 to the actual value (50) in cell C2 even if the order changes.
Help... Thank you!
Not sure if this is an efficient method; if i correctly understood your question then you can use = to link two cells For example:
Sheet one can look like this
A B C D E
1 1 2 3 4 5
2 5 4 3 2 1
3 1 2 3 4 5
Total 7 8 9 10 11
Sheet two requires cell links so you do:
TotalForA =Sheet1!A4 //output will be 7
TotalForB =Sheet1!B4 //output will be 8
.
.
.
In a simple word you can use = sign and click on whatever cell you're like to get.
I need to match data in column A2 and so on in sheet 1 to data in column A2 and so on in sheet 2. If the data in column A of sheet 1 and sheet 2 match I need the data in column B & C of sheet 2 to replace data in column B & C of sheet 1. I know VERY little about doing this kind of stuff so any help would be GREATLY appreciated!
SHEET 1
A B C
2 12345 5.35 9.95
3 15874 4.22 10.99
4 11111 2.24 5.99
5 98745 5.33 9.95
6 88552 4.24 8.95
SHEET 2
A B C
2 11111 2.09 5.79
3 12345 5.11 9.89
4 88552 4.01 8.79
NEED SHEET 1 to change to
A B C
2 12345 5.11 9.89
3 15874 4.22 10.99
4 11111 2.09 5.79
5 98745 5.33 9.95
6 88552 4.01 8.79
On a third sheet use these functions
column a ='sheet1'!a2
column b =if('sheet1'!b2='sheet2'!b2,'sheet2'!b2,'sheet1'!b2)
column c =if('sheet1'!c2='sheet2'!c2,'sheet2'!c2,'sheet1'!c2)
Copy sheet3 and paste the values into sheet1.
This should work unless column a does match. or if you need to do this dynamically. If column a doesn't match some vlookups can be thrown in.
I your data does match in column a your formulas could look something like this.
column a ='sheet1'!a2
column b =if(not(iserror(vlookup(a2,'sheet2'!a:c,2,false))),vlookup(a2,'sheet2'!a:c,2,false),vlookup(a2,'sheet1'!a:c,2,false))
column c =if(not(iserror(vlookup(a2,'sheet2'!a:c,3,false))),vlookup(a2,'sheet2'!a:c,3,false),vlookup(a2,'sheet1'!a:c,3,false))
this is too much to put in a comment so I'm putting it in answer.
The way I under stand is, since sheet1 has more data, you only want to be doing this comparison when sheet1 and 2 both have data on the row. so If sheet1 has data in rows 1 - 100, and sheet2 has data in rows 1 to 50, you only want to be doing this comparison for the first 50 rows in sheet1 right?
So, rather than copying and pasting formulas, what you can do is, in sheet1, find an unused column. go to the first row. in the formula box, type: "=if(" without the quotes. now, select the first cell to compare, according to your example you'd select sheet1, A2. then type "=" without quotes. then select the second cell you want to compare - in your example, sheet2, A2. then type "," without quotes. then select the cell from which you want the data if the first 2 cells are equal. in your example, sheet2 B2. then type "," without quotes, then select the cell with the data to use if the first 2 cells are not equal. in your example, sheet1 b2. then type ")" without the quotes.
so using your example, the function would look similar to how bigtree had it: =if('sheet1'!A2='sheet2'!A2,'sheet2'!b2,'sheet1'!b2)
so, this will compare sheet1 cell A2 with sheet2 A2 and if they are equal, the cell you put the formula in will the have the value of sheet2 b2, and if they are not equal, the cell with this formula will have the value of sheet1 B2. then, drag this formula down for however many rows you want, and the formula will adjust automatically for each row. you'll see the numbers increase. then, select the column with the formulas, right click and select copy, then right click and go to paste special, and click values. this will make it so the column contains only the values, not the formulas, now you can paste this data in column B sheet 1.
you can reuse this formula for whatever columns, just follow the steps.
HTH, good luck!
I have a Spreadsheet, and inside this sheet contains a column with numbers, I want to make a formula that will go down that Column and do basically this.. Values: 1 will be 9.50. 2 will be 9.75. 3 will be 10.00. Ect going up to Value of 100? Is that possible for a Formula? I keep playing with it but can't really seem to get it down. Any help would be appreciated.
Column A: 1

There is not a set amount to how many values are in there.
this should do it supposing that column A has these values 1, 2 ...etc that your computing will be based on
=MIN(9.25+A1*0.25;100)*COUNT(A1)
In A2, enter the formula
=A1 + (9.5-A1)
then in the cell just below it (A3), enter
=A2+0.25
Assuming A1 is the top left. Copy the formula in A3, select the next 399 cells and paste. Then select A2 - A364 and copy. Then select B2 -xx364 and paste. xx is the last column with data. If you want, set the height of your first column to 0 to hide it.
=(A1-1)*0.25+9.5 where A1 contains any number you want
