I need to come up with a formula that leaves cells blank when no value is entered and if value is entered it needs to categorize it in 3 levels, like in example:
I have use following formula but it reads blank cells as 0:
=IF(AND($AF4>=0,$AF4<=100),"1","0")
=IF (ISBLANK (AF4),"",IF(AND($AF4>=0,$AF4<=100),"1","0"))

I'm having difficult for generate a formula to count the blank cells in a range of cells.
So here is the example, the output is expected in the second row and the counting area is in the first row.
I would like the to count the blank cells between the "AAA"s and every cells of output row has a value.
I have tried "countblank" and "counta", but apparently they don't work.
enter image description here
Try:
Formula in B2:
=MATCH("?*",C1:Q1,0)
Dragged right to P1.
For any input, including numbers:
=MATCH("?*",C1:Q1&"",0)
how do I count how many non blank cells until the first blank above a cell.
For example, it is 6 non blank cells from C15 to C6 until there is a blank cell C9. The array formula I know =Match(1,--(C5:C16=""),0)-1, always start counting from C5. Is there way to start backwards, like start counting from C16?
enter image description here
Instead of MATCH use MAX: `=MAX((C$5:C16="")*(ROW(C$5:C16))'.
Note, I used the Range you used in your example and locked the row at C$5 by using $-sign. That way it will not change if you drag down the formula.
This formula will return the ROW # of the condition met. If used in combination with INDEX I recommend referencing the whole column, like so:
`=INDEX(C:C,MAX((C$5:C16="")*(ROW(C$5:C16)))'
I noticed you substracted 1 of the row. You can do the same after this formula.
I have a work sheet in which there are several cells with a specific entry - let's say "A". These are not all in the same rows/columns. After each cell is a date.
I need to count the number of cells containing "A" which also have a specific date in the cell immediately to its right. I've tried combinations of Countifs and Indirect, with no success. How can I achieve this?
This counts the number of times that there is A in column A and 1 in column B
=SUMPRODUCT(($A$1:$A$5="A")*($B$1:$B$5=1))
This outputs in cell D1
Not too difficult.
I have created a sample sheet with 8 rows and 5 columns of data.
See below, the formula in cell C12 counts the number of occurrences where the a cell with a date of October 31, 2017 is directly to the right of a cell that contains the text A.
If you want more info as to how this works, read on:
When searching for cells that contain A, you don't search in the last column of the data (in this case, column E) because it is impossible for a column to the right to have any date in it. This is why a portion of the formula says A1:D8="A" instead of A1:E8="A". This is the same reasoning why we start searching for a date in column B rather than column A in the formula.
You can achieve this with a helper row. Add additional row on top of your Worksheet. In cell "A1" enter formula below.
=COUNTIFS(A2:A2000,"A",B2:B2000,"YourDate")
Drag this formula to the rightmost of where you have data, then simply sum all values returned by formula.
Given the example:
A1: Smith, John Michael
A2: John Michael Smith
What is the formula if I want to format cells (let's say color the cells green) when it finds the string "Smith" in both A1 and A2?
A1 -> list from excel file
A2 -> list from database
I'm comparing a list of names extracted from a user database and the list of names on an Excel file to see if which ones are missing in the database.
Assume you place the word you are looking for in A4, you could use the following formula:
=AND(ISNUMBER(SEARCH(A4,A1)),ISNUMBER(SEARCH(A4,A2)),NOT(TRIM(CLEAN(A4))=""))
Search will look for the text entered in cell A4 and see if it can be found in A1. If it is found it will return a number and if is not found it will return an error.
Isnumber checks to see if the search returned a number. if search found the word entered in A4 in A1, it will return the number of the starting position and is number will then return a value of TRUE.
The process is then repeated for the text in A2.
In order to say that the text is found in both locations you need all arguments in the AND formula to be TRUE. if any one of them is false AND will return a value of FALSE.
The final step will be to apply conditional formatting to the cells. Use formula as your method for your conditional formula control and use the above formula in the space provided. Set your special format for when your formula returns a true value.
Depending on how you apply your conditional formatting, you may want to use $A$4 instead of A4. Same goes for A1 and A2.
The last logical check that was added was to make sure that if no information was entered in A4, or a space was entered in A4 that the check would colour the cells. In other words it will only colour the cells if there is actually something to look for in A4.
Hopefully this will stop the chain.
See the linked questions if you want more background, but I need to conditional format multiple rows (2,000+) from the FIRST (leftmost) non-blank cell + the next 11 columns after it. Not sure if it's needed for the conditional format formula, but I am able to get the start cell for each row, can kind of get the end cell (see below).
Cell address of the first populated cell in the row (*the data starts on row 2, the values begin in column C and end in column P):
{=(ADDRESS(2,COLUMN(INDEX(C2:P2,MATCH(1,IF(C2:P2<>0,IF(C2:P2<>"",1)),0)))))}
^ this gets me an absoluted text-version of the leftmost populated cell in each row. I have all these addresses in a helper column. I am then able to get the desired stopping-point for the format (12th cell to the right of the cell returned from above formula), but I have to manually enter the cell address derived from above formula:
=ADDRESS(2,COLUMN(OFFSET(N2,0,11,1,1)))
I can't nest the start cell formula inside this second formula or it breaks.
THANK YOU!
Desired result (ignore the different colors, they can be the same):
I added a helper column C that finds the first non blank in the row (my data went from column D to column AZ)
=MATCH(TRUE,INDEX((D2:AZ2<>0),0),0)
My conditional format rule applied to D2 to AZ4 was to highlight when the following was true:
==AND(COLUMN(D2)<($C2+11+COLUMN($D2)),COLUMN(D2)>=$C2+COLUMN($C2))
You can modify this to put the helper column where you wish, and to use named ranges.
(Had to add condition to not start coloring before the first instance!)
