I am trying to assemble a index/match combination and am having trouble figuring out how to make it work. I have experience with a lot of the formula types in excel, but unfortunately I am pretty ignorant when it comes to these functions.
I will explain what I am trying to do first, but I have attached 3 images at the end that will probably make things more clear.
In order to identify the specific values I want, I am having to use helper cells. These helper cells are denoted with the (helper) tag in the pictures. These cells go through and grab the adjusted closing price of the stock (column A) at the beginning (column C) and the end (Column D) of a dynamically calculated period.
I would like to consolidate these values into numerical order in columns F and G. The thought is that the first non zero number in C/D is belongs to the first predefined period and should go into columns F/G beside the #1 (column E). This gets carried on through all of the periods (ex: 2nd non zero goes beside the number 2, third nonzero number goes beside the number 3 etc.)
This is just an example of one stock. I need the function or formula to be dynamic enough to work on a wide variety of distributions. Sometimes there are up to 100 dynamically calculated periods within the stock analysis.
Below are the images that should provide more clarity
Image 1 is an example of what the data looks like
Image 2 is a crudely drawn example of how I would like the data to move
Image 3 is the desired result

Please let me know if I can clarify any confusion.
If you just need to return the first value of each period (column C) and the last value of each period (column D), you could use index match and lookup to do this without even using helper columns.
Try this in cell F2
=INDEX(A2:A50,MATCH(E2,B2:B50,0))
And this in cell G2
=LOOKUP(E2,B2:B50,A2:A50)
Depending on much variance is in your overall number of rows, you could use indirect references in the formulas to dynamically update the ranges.
Example:
=INDEX(A2:INDIRECT("A"&COUNTA(A:A)),MATCH(E2,B2:INDIRECT("B"&COUNTA(A:A)),0))
You will need to open macro. Then do the following in recorded macro.
+ Filter only non-null value in C/D
+ Select whole column in C/D then copy the whole column
+ Turn off Filter
+ Paste the whole C/D in F/G
+ Stop macro

Put this formula if F2:
=INDEX(INDEX(C:C,MATCH($E2,$B:$B,0)):INDEX(C:C,MATCH($E2,$B:$B,0)+COUNTIF($B:$B,$E2)-1),MATCH(1E+99,INDEX(C:C,MATCH($E2,$B:$B,0)):INDEX(C:C,MATCH($E2,$B:$B,0)+COUNTIF($B:$B,$E2)-1)))
Copy over one column and down the list.

I am trying to determine the top 3 depending on the selected criteria, amount or count. User can choose between the two. I have the formula to determine top 3 but I don't know how to modify it to take in account of user's selection. User's selection is in J2.
In this case, count is selected but as you can see, my formula spits out amount.
I think I need an array formula nesting choose or offset or something. The formula I have in the selected cell is
=INDEX($A$3:$A$35,MATCH(1,INDEX(($E$3:$E$35=LARGE($E$3:$E$35,ROWS(I$7:I7)))*(COUNTIF(I$7:I7,$A$3:$A$35)=0),),0))
which calculates top 3. How can I get that to change depending on user selection?
Edit: I realize I can have two sets of data for each criteria and do an offset to select between the two but figured one of you wizards can probably do it all in one. (This data is used to drive a graph.)
Edit2: sorry if it was too abstract. There are two columns. E and F. E is a list of amounts. F is a list of counts. I want to find the top 3 of both. But obviously only one at a time. Depending on what the user chooses.
As you can see, even though the selection is currently count (J7), the results show the top 3 by amounts.
By using the number selected in J2, I should be able to nest an offset function to grab the column desired yes? 1 for column E, 2 for column F. That's how I understand the function to work. However, my attempts to nest has failed because I believe I need an array formula which is beyond my skillz.
Edit3: see pic. It shows the top 3 by each criteria. How do I combine them?
You could combine it into one (non-array) formula. Here is a simple example which perhaps you can adapt to your situation.
This is the formula in J7. Change the 2 in J2 to 1 and it will return the largest value in E rather than F.
=INDEX(OFFSET($E$3:$E$35,,J2-1,,),MATCH(1,INDEX((OFFSET($E$3:$E$35,,J2-1,,)=LARGE(OFFSET($E$3:$E$35,,J2-1,,),ROWS(I$7:I7)))*COUNTIF(I$7:I7,$A$3:$A$35)=0),),0))
I am currently automating a dashboard creation and I've hit a bit of a roadblock. I need some code that will go through about 7000 rows of data and return the highest value in a certain column for each specific item. The data is copied from a pivot table and so is broken down into row sections, I have attached a mock of what it looks like.
I need the highest value in Column G for each portfolio, and will need to use the portfolio code (e.g. XY12345 - They are always 7 characters) to map that value to the dashboard.
My issue is, each portfolio has a different number of rows for the values, and some have blank cells between them, and therefore I am stumped. I was hoping to use Column J to count the number of rows for each portfolio (as there are no breaks for the portfolios in this column) and then use a loop to loop through each portfolios rows of values, based off the Column J count, and then return the highest row value for each portfolio. Problem is I'm new to VBA and have been teaching myself as I go, and I've yet to use a loop.
Many thanks,
Harry
If I understand correctly, you're looking for the largest value in Column G.
I'm not sure why you think you would need VBA for this.
Get the maximum value of a column
You mentioned that you're concerned about each column not having the same number of cells but that's irrelevant. as SUM ignores blank cells, so just "go long", or - find the maximum of the entire column.
To return the largest number in Column G you could use worksheet formula :
=MAX(G:G)
The only catch is that you can't place that formula anywhere column G or else it would create a circular cell reference (trying to infinitely add a number to itself). let's pit that formula in cell F1 for now (but anywhere besides column G would do fine).
Find the location of a value
Now that you know the largest value, you can determine where it is using a lookup function such as MATCH or VLOOKUP. Like with so many things in Excel, there are several ways to accomplish the same thing. I'll go with MATCH.
Replace the formula from above (in F1) with:
=MATCH(MAX(G:G),G:G,0)
This will return the row number of the first exact match of the maximum value of Column G.
As for the third part of question: returning the code like X12345 where the value exists, will be a little tricky since your data is not organized in a logical tabular style (tabular meaning, "like a table").
Your data is organized for humans to look at, not for machines to easily read and manipulate it. (See: Office Support: Guidelines for organizing and formatting data on a worksheet)
Basically, when organizing data in rows, all relevant information should be on the same row (not a subjective number of rows behind). Also, you have the number combined with other information.
My suggestion for a quick fix:
Right-click the heading of Column C and choose Insert to insert a blank column.
In C2 enter formula: =IF(B2="",C1,LEFT(B2,7))
Copy cell C2
Select cells in column C all the way to the "end" of your data, where ever that is (not the end of the worksheet). For example maybe you would select cells B2:B1000)
Paste the copied cell into all those cells.
Now, you can again modify the formula in F1:
=INDEX(C:C,MATCH(MAX(G:G),G:G,0))
This will return the value from Column C in the same row that the maximum value of Column G is located.
This is known as an INDEX/MATCH formula.
Hopefully this works for you in the interim until you can organize your data more logically. There's lots of related information and tutorials online.
So, I've searched for an answer to this, but I can't find anything. Hopefully some Excel guru out there has an easy answer.
CONTEXT
I have a sheet that has two columns; a list of airport codes (Col A) and a list of fuel gallons (Col B). Column A has a bunch of duplicate entries, column B is always different. It's basically a giant list of fill-up events for aircraft over time at different airports. The airports can be the same, because it's one row per fill-up event.
PROBLEM
What I want to do is have a formula that takes the enter data set, finds all identical entries in Col A, sums the Col B values for the matches, and spits out the result on a separate sheet with one entry for every set/match.
OTHER STUFF
I do not have a reference list for Column A and I would rather not create one since there are thousands of entries. I would like to just write a formula that does all this at once, using the data itself as the reference.
All the answers I find are "create a reference list on a separate sheet", and it's driving me crazy!
Thanks in advance for any help!

Sounds that you need a formula version of remove duplicated for column A, and a simple sumif for column B.
Column A
=IFERROR(INDEX(Data!A$1:A$1000,SMALL(IF(
MATCH(Data!A$1:A$1000,Data!A$1:A$1000,0)=ROW(Data!A$1:A$1000),ROW(Data!A$1:A$1000)),ROW())),"")
Array Formula so please press Ctrl + Shift + Enter to complete it. After that you might see a {} outside the formula.
Column B
=SUMIF(Data!A$1:A$1000,A2,Data!B$1:B$1000)
Just change the range for your data.
Reminders: The formula in columnA should starts from Row#1, or you have to add some offset constant for adjustments.
Since the returning value of MATCH() represents the position of the key in the given array. If we wanted it to be equal to its row number, we have to add some constant if the array is not started from ROW#1. So the adjustment of data in Range(B3:B1000) is below.
=IFERROR(INDEX('Event Data'!B$3:B$1000,SMALL(IF(
MATCH('Event Data'!B$3:B$1000,
'Event Data'!B$3:B$1000,0)+2=ROW('Event Data'!B$3:B$1000),
ROW('Event Data'!B$3:B$1000)),ROW())-2),"")
Further more, the range should exactly the same as the data range. If you need it larger than the data range for future expandability, an IFERROR() should added into the formula.
=IFERROR(INDEX('Event Data'!B$3:B$1000,SMALL(IFERROR(IF(MATCH(
'Event Data'!B$3:B$1000,'Event Data'!B$3:B$1000,0)+2
=ROW('Event Data'!B$3:B$1000),
ROW('Event Data'!B$3:B$1000)),FALSE),ROW())-2),"")
Lastly, I truly recommended that you should use the Remove Duplicated built in excel since the array formula is about O(n^2) of time complexity and memory usage also. And every time you entered any data in even other cells, it will automatically re-calculate all formulas once the calculation option in your excel is automatic. This will pull down the performance.
I'm looking for a way to count the number of times two cells appear side by side in Excel - like intersections. Sometimes in my data (of about 550 records) A Road will appear next to B Road, which is a count of 1. If it occurs again, later in the data the count would be 2. But if B Road appears in the first column and A Road appears in the second column, I can't find a way to make that number 3 in the count.
I've tried concatenating the data, but I need to be able to write this formula without inserting specific criteria (like searching for A Road) because it would be easier in that case to do this manually. Does anyone know if there's a formula for find the occurrence of the same two variables between two columns without specific criteria?
If the order of values in the two columns were important (i.e. A Road followed by B Road is different than B Road followed by A Road), then a simple pivot table would provide the counts you need. You would just put Col M on the rows, Col N on the columns and the count of any field as the value.
But the OP has said that A Road followed by B Road should be counted in the same total as B Road followed by A Road. Let's modify the concatenation in Col O to become =IF(M2<N2,CONCAT(M2," & ",N2),CONCAT(N2," & ",M2)). That provides a canonical form of each combination regardless of order. Having done that, then it is again an easy matter to create a pivot table that shows all the required counts -- just put the concatenated value on the rows and the count as the value.
If I correctly understand your intent, then try this array formula : =SUM(IF(EXACT(B$2:B3&C$2:C3,B3&C3),1,""))+SUM(IF(EXACT(B$2:B3&C$2:C3,C3&B3),1,"")).The second sum formula accounts for any reverse order of adjacent street occurrences.Then copy down the column as needed. Enter with Ctrl+Shift+Enter.
Hello,
Please forgive me if I didn't word my question very well. However, I have an excel spreadsheet that I must complete and submit to our headquarters on a monthly basis. I've been manually editing most of the fields but I think there's a way to automate some of the values. Unfortunately, I haven't figured it out yet so I thought I'd seek help here.
So I have two tables (Table1 and Table2) - images below. What I need is a way to automatically populate the RATE FACTOR (Column D) if the WEIGHT (Column C) falls within a certain range (defined in table2).
I was reading on here about using VLOOKUP, but couldn't get it to work. Any assistance would be appreciated, thanks.
IMAGES BELOW (had trouble attaching images to question).

Assuming that your example has the titles in row 1, in cell D2 enter =VLOOKUP(C2,$G$2:$H$17,2)
You can copy this formula to the other cells in column D.
VLOOKUP demands that the table of values is sorted in ascending order by the first column. The lookup value (here C2) is found in the first column and the 2 says to return the corresponding value in the second column. By default if the lookup value is not found, VLOOKUP returns the result corresponding to the nearest value less than the lookup value. This may or may not suit your rate factor calculation (if not, I can make an additional suggestion).
