Reference cells from column a where column b is atleast (value) - excel-formula

I am looking for a formula that can get me the reference of cells in "Column A" if "Column B" >= 2.
i.e.
Column A Column B
Company 1 1
Company 2 1
Company 3 3
Company 4 1
Company 5 5
Company 6 4
So in this example the output would be
Column A
Company 3
Company 5
Company 6
I am a bit confused on how to approach this, can you guide me in the right direction?

Both these answers use an array formula, so enter with Ctrl+Shift+Enter in first cell and drag down.
If your list starts on row 1 you can use:
{=IFERROR(INDEX($A$1:$A$6,SMALL(IF($B$1:$B$6>=2,ROW($B$1:$B$6),""),ROW(B1))),"")}
Otherwise use (this is for rows 10:15):
{=IFERROR(INDEX($A$10:$A$15,SMALL(IF($B$10:$B$15>=2,ROW($B$10:$B$15)-MIN(ROW($B$10:$B$15))+1,""),ROW(B1))),"")}

I know how to select one row, but cant understand how to select such range.
Thanks for ideas!
You can limit and offset inside your QUERY():
=QUERY(A1:C,"limit "&2+MIN(5,MATCH(D1,B:B,0))&" offset "&MAX(0,MATCH(D1,B:B,0)-5))
Well, this was fun...
If 3 above or below are not available then blank... rolling data around is a different proposition.
Below the image is the list of formulae used.
So, per cell not including the data validation that is based on cells B2:B11
A14 and dragged down:
=IFERROR(INDEX($A$2:$A$11,MATCH(B14,$B$2:$B$11,0)),"")
C14 and dragged down:
=IFERROR(INDEX($C$2:$C$11,MATCH(B14,$B$2:$B$11,0)),"")
Cells B14 through B20:
=IFERROR(IF(MATCH(B$17,$B$2:$B$11,0)=3,NA(),INDEX($B$2:$B$11,MATCH(B$17,$B$2:$B$11,0)-3)),"")
=IFERROR(IF(MATCH(B$17,$B$2:$B$11,0)=2,NA(),INDEX($B$2:$B$11,MATCH(B$17,$B$2:$B$11,0)-2)),"")
=IFERROR(IF(MATCH(B$17,$B$2:$B$11,0)=1,NA(),INDEX($B$2:$B$11,MATCH(B$17,$B$2:$B$11,0)-1)),"")
=E2
=IFERROR(INDEX($B$2:$B$11,MATCH(B$17,$B$2:$B$11,0)+1),"")
=IFERROR(INDEX($B$2:$B$11,MATCH(B$17,$B$2:$B$11,0)+2),"")
=IFERROR(INDEX($B$2:$B$11,MATCH(B$17,$B$2:$B$11,0)+3),"")
In Excel 365, you could try:
=INDEX(A:C,MAX(2,MATCH(D2,B:B,0)-3),0):INDEX(A:C,MIN(COUNTA(B:B),MATCH(D2,B:B,0)+3),0)
In Google sheets, on the other hand, the formula would be:
=INDEX(A:C,MAX(2,MATCH(D2,B:B,0)-3),0):INDEX(A:C,MIN(COUNTA(B:B),MATCH(D2,B:B,0)+3),0)
(spot the difference).
Excel
Google Sheets
This should produce what you want in all cases:
=IFERROR(FILTER(A2:C,B2:B<>"",ROW(A2:A)>=VLOOKUP("Andrew",{B2:B,ROW(B2:B)},2,FALSE)-3,ROW(A2:A)<=VLOOKUP("Andrew",{B2:B,ROW(B2:B)},2,FALSE)+3))
Of course, you can replace the two instances of "Andrew" with a cell reference (one where you type a changeable name).
This just looks up the row in a curly-bracket array formed from the names and row numbers and uses FILTER to keep results to rows between +/-3 rows of where the target name is found. If you choose the first name (or any other name), you won't get an error; because even if the target name were on Row 1 and the formula goes looking for anything "greater than or equal to 1 minus 3, all rows will be greater than a negative number. Same on the high end. You just won't get a full seven names if there aren't at least three other rows prior to or after the target row.
this not the best solution but it will work , you can use a helper column 'D' that contains the following formula =if(countif(INDIRECT("B"&ROW()+3&":"&"B"&ROW()-3),"Andrew")>0,TRUE,FASLE)
and u can query from here like this SELECT * WHERE Column D = TRUE

Fill empty cells with values from a list in another column

I have the following Excel spreasheet:
A B C
1 =IF(B1<>"",B1;OFFSET(B1,-1,0)) CompanyA
2 =IF(B2<>"",B2;OFFSET(B2,-1,0))
3
4 CompanyB
5 CompanyC
6
7 CompanyD
In column B I have a list of different companies and it might happen that they are empty rows (in this case row2, row3 or row6) between the companies.
In column A I want to achieve that the empty rows are filled with the company names so in the end the spreadsheet looks like this:
A B C
1 Company A CompanyA
2 Company A
3 Company A
4 Company B CompanyB
5 Company C CompanyC
6 Company C
7 Company D CompanyD
I tried to use the If-formula with the offset in column A but it only works when there is not more than one empty row so it only works for CompanyB,C and D but not for company A.
Do you have any idea which formula I have to use in column A to solve this issue?
Pls refer the snap below
In A2 apply the below formula and drag down
=IF(B2<>"",B2,A1)
EDIT #1: Another method if data starts with row 1
if the data starts with B1 then apply the below formula in A1 and drag down
=IF(B1<>"",B1,IF(ROW()=1,B1,OFFSET(A1,-1,0)))
Provided the first cell, say B2, is not empty try with:=B2 in cell A2 and =IF(B3<>"";B3;A2)in cell A3 and fill down.

A function that will lookup a reference

Before I get started thanks for taking your time and helping.
This is what my worksheet looks like:
Row # B C D E F
2 1 Product 1 B2 B3 B4
3 2
4 6
5 1 Product 2 B5 B6
6 5
7 4 Product 3 B7
I was trying to follow this formula: (The best answer one or green check mark) return values from multiple matching rows
I got all the way to the =IFERROR(INDIRECT(lookups!H5),"") but can not get this to work.
What I am tying to do is order the numbers in Column B to go to the right of the product. Which I was able to get the column it is in (B) and the row number it is in (B2). I would like to change the value (B2) to the number that is there.
I would like it to look like this:
Row # C D E F
2 Product 1 1 2 6
3
4
5 Product 2 1 5
6
7 Product 3 4
If someone could help explain this to me or find a better way that would be great.
Not sure what is to happen to columnB but if you replace B with "="B throughout columns D:F then select each of these in turn and apply Text to Columns with Tab as the delimiter the 'cell references' convert to formulae referring to the values in B. If you want to delete columnB copy D:F and Paste Special, Values over the top.

How to select a value given a set of criteria

I have the following table and would like to select the $
for products when index = max:
id product $ max?
1 A 1 No
2 B 2 No
3 A 2 No
4 C 4 No
5 D 5 No
6 A 3 Yes
7 B 6 Yes
8 C 8 Yes
How do I get the results in the column identified max?
Regards.
UPD:
The results should be based on the max id and not max $. I am sorry for the confusion
If you need formula for max column based on max id, try next one:
=IF(MAX(IF(B:B=B2,A:A))=A2,"Yes","No")
where B:B column with your products, A:A - column with id.
Just select D2, enter formula in formula bar, and press CTRL+SHIFT+ENTER to evaluate it and then drag it down.
Note, if you know exact ranges of your data, you can change B:B and A:A to e.g. $B$2:$B$100 and $A$2:$A$100

Microsoft Excel 2010: Help making a Formula to up Values by a repeating pattern

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.

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
