Using Excel 2013, I would like to make a unique count using 2 columns, like this:
So basically I would like to count each unique function within each name, but:
I want it to be sequential, within each name.
When the function repeats, within each name, I want it to always have the same value (so if Compliance appears 2 times for a given person, I want both to have the same value in both cases (which is 1, in Jim's case).
Is this possible using only formulas in Excel?
This might work for you. Worked for me with your sample data.
=IFERROR(IF(AND(A2=A1,B2=B1),1,IF(AND(A2=A3,B2=B3),1,1+C1)),1)

I am not familiar with excel as you can probaly guess by my question so I am sorry if it's a silly question but I have been googling for a long time and I can't do it.
I manage to do it in excel 365 with the function filter, but I can't on excel 2019 (I am required to do it in excel 2019)
I want to identifed the smaller number of a specific combination of cells using two table.
Table1 has name of people and places as well as a number. (the number shows the difference of the last time a person went to a place and the [in months])
(In this project the inspector cannot go to the same place twice unless 4 months have pass, thus why I want the smaller number, using the date of the last visited and the fcuntion now I get teh number of months that have pass)
Table2 has only the name of one person out of these people but has the name of all places. I want to get the smaller number for every place.
This is my table1: (I hided other peoples names so I can show a more compact examlplo)
And this is my table2:
I thought that I could use a function aggregate with a function if inside of it to get only the values that I desire.
It did not worked thou. Was I had miss undertand the fact that function if only gives me true or false. But thought that the aggregate function could wordk. It did not as well
=AGGREGATE(5;3;A2&B2=Table1[#Place]&Table1[#name];1).
overall my question could be summarize to which funtion should I used?
Which function should I use?
obs: In excel 365 I used concat to make a code an thus only used one cell, but I don't see why it wouldn't work if I just select two cells insted of one (teh concat cell)
I'm not too sure how to word this problem so, I apologize for the vagueness. Here is what I am trying to do though:
I have a large Excel table with a ton of values, I however, only care about 3 columns. The three columns I have are "Project Name", "Active/Planned", and "Week of Month". Here is an example of some values I would have:
Project Name
Active/Planned
Week of Month
StoreProj
Active
2021-07 Jul-Wk1
SecProj
Planned
2021-07 Jul-Wk2
StoreProj
Active
2021-07 Jul-Wk1
Now, I have used a formula to get the number of projects based on a specific week month and avoiding duplicate values for the project name. The code I used returns an integer of the number of projects. Here is what I used:
=IFERROR(ROWS(UNIQUE(FILTER(Table[Project Name],Table[Week of Month]=2021-07 Jul-Wk1))), 0)
This works as intended. Now the issue I am running into is that I need to filter through these rows as I did previously, but now I need to include the "Active/Planned" column. So, I want to be able to see how many projects I have based off of the week of the month and return a number of projects (excluding duplicate names), but be able to filter through that integer output based off of the active/planned projects. So in a perfect scenario I can choose the week of month and if the project is "Active" or "Planned" and see the amount of projects I have.
This might be an easy fix so I apologize, I am just stumped, any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!
Work through that step by step, you've got the FILTER function which is giving data to the UNIQUE function, to the ROWS function, and then your IFERROR. However, the data about whether each line/row is 'Active' or 'planned' isn't passed out beyond the FILTER function, so can't be used by anything further on in the above sequence.
Boring theoretical advice out the way, try this;
=COUNT(IF(UNIQUE(FILTER( Table[[Project Name]:[Active/Planned]], Table[Week of Month] = "2021-07 Jul-wk1"))= "Active", 1))
Explanation:
FILTER(...) outputs records with the relevant date filter, however it outputs Table[[Project Name]:[Active/Planned]] - both columns, to ensure all relevant data is there.
UNIQUE(...) Then narrows that down to unique values, although by this stage I'm not 100% sure you need this.
IF(... = "Active", 1) then replaces the 'Active' outputs with 1s
COUNT() returns the number of cells in the above that contain a number (the 1s from the IF())
Yes, you can't use COUNTIF on arrays (and all except that last bullet point above are outputting arrays not single values) - and no, I didn't know that before attempting to answer this question, found it over at a different question!
I'm currently pulling the top (5) number of numerical values from one sheet and inputting them into a different sheet. Each number is within its own column and there is a name matching that column, EX:
And so, having a tie is common with the data that I'm working with, so it nearly deprecates my formulas.
For getting the name:
=INDEX('Total Cases by Categories'!$B$18:$B$50, MATCH(LARGE('Total Cases by Categories'!$H$18:$H$50, A39),'Total Cases by Categories'!$H$18:$H$50, 0))
For getting the numerical value associated with the name:
=LARGE('Total Cases by Categories'!$H$18:$H, A39)
And so, when there are 2 people with the same numerical value associated within a category, then that person appears twice, I assume because of their position within the sheet.
So something like this happens:
So in the event of a tie, I would want to list both names that have the same amount of points instead of the first name that shows up with the duplicated value.
Any help would be appreciated!
Actually, LARGE will give you both of tied names. It's MATCH that can't look beyond the first. To the best of my knowledge there is no way around that (the difficult one being not to use MATCH). Therefore the solution is to have no ties.
This is achieved with helper columns that contain no identical numbers. This can be achieved by adding an insignificant decimal. Since you are dealing with integers, adding 0.1 would be insignificant for your purposes but 13.1 is different from 13.2. If you need to extract the "real" number from this use INT(13.2).
Using the row number to generate an insignificant decimal is popular for this purpose. In row 1 ROW()/10 will return 0.1. But in row 10 ROW()/10 will return 1.0 which isn't an insignificant number anymore. Therefore you have to work with ROW()/100 or an even larger divisor, depending upon how many rows you have. Try ROW()/10^6 - any decimal will do the tie-breaking job.
You may not like that using ROW() will list tied participants in the order in which they appear in the worksheet. The differentiating decimals can be created by any other means that doesn't create ties in itself.
Normally, the helper columns with the decimals added will be hidden. They contain a formula like =D23 + (ROW()/10000) which manages itself. You can then use that column for the MATCH function to list all participants in the order of LARGE using the helper column or the original. Just make sure that MATCH refers to the helper column.
Okay, so here's the thing. I have a list of compounds which are listed as compound_1,compound_2,compound_3 and so on. I would like to change it to the corresponding compound names using Excel. There are over 140 compounds and in the datatable, the compound repeats itself for a number of times.
The problem arises when the Excel treats two digit numbers as two individual numbers instead of treating them as a one whole unit and substitutes value accordingly. I'll give you an example. Say, compound_2 is Nicotine and compound_20 is quercetin, it treats 20 as 2 and 0, and the cell is replaced with Nicotine0 instead of quercetin.
Is there a way to replace it without this hassle?
P.S: The table looks something like this:
compound_1 Nicotine
compound_2 β- sitosterol
compound_3 D - mannitol
compound_4 Stigma Sterol
compound_5 Betulinic Acid
And, I've attached a collage comparing the column values before(left) and after(right) I tried replacing compound_2 with Nicotine.(This is only for example and not the real pair)image
Looking through some raw data, I was able to figure out a few things out. My goal is to write formulas to pull out data and not have to filter, sort, add helper columns and or manipulate the data like I usually have to do. One of which is to count unique values from a single column. Here is an example -
I was able to use =SUM(IF(FREQUENCY(MATCH('Data Dump'!A2:A10950,'Data Dump'!A2:A10950,0),MATCH('Data Dump'!A2:A10950,'Data Dump'!A2:A10950,0))>0,1)) which worked like a charm! For this example, I would have counted 8.
I am now trying to compare this column with another one and if it has a specific variable, count it. Here is an example -
If I wanted to count the unique successful CHGs, I would have 2 - CHG000483566 and CHG000490961. Unsuccessful would be 1 - CHG000490708. The good news is this data is always consistent - meaning if the CHG group is successful, all are successful. Same for unsuccessful.
Can this be done and if so, how?
