I have a very simple spreadsheet with about 700-800 different lines of information, many of which are duplicates. However, I am trying to have excel count and tally the amount of times business is listed. I have seen some people use some formatting by typing the name it needs to count, but with almost 800 different names that would not make much sense. Is there a simpler way to do this?
I know Google Sheets sometimes has a chart if makes on their "Explore" tab. Something like that would be ideal to replicate.
Thank you!
As I mentioned in the comments you can get something like this:
By dragging your column heading into row and values like this:
Say we have:
First copy column A to column B and use the RemoveDuplicates feature in the Data ribbon tab.
Then in C2 enter:
=COUNTIF(A:A,B2)
and copy down:

I've been racking my brain how to accomplish this but what I am trying to do is use a a pivot table to identify how many IDs only have the 1 skill and by which site.
I also want to show if they have more than one skill. For example they have Maths and Writing, by site.
I am also trying to do this via a formula.
Might sound a bit silly and i'm sorry but was hoping someone may be able to help.
I have shared my Google sheet showing this (i'm assuming I can do the same in excel).
https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1btkhhYyVG_GYrz_SYXwO4wUsxq3ay3eZv5AOF7h95o4/edit?usp=sharing
As per the sample data provided, it seems that the ID's have just one site, so showing the order ID\Site\Skills, therefore I would suggest the PivotTable layout below, adding a subtotal to count the quantity of skills per ID, remove the Grand Totals as they are not required.
You may also want to sort the Data by the Skills count in ascendant order to show first the ID's with just one skill.
So this is your PivotTable:
Another Layout:
You can do it in excel. Either you make a PivotTable and make something like this.
or you can just copy the ID, site and insert the skills like I have done in this picture.
Then use these formulas in the field. In the first column No Skills (Number of skills) I use the following formula: COUNTIF(A:A;F2) Where A:A are the first column ("ID") in your original table and then in the rest cells I use the following formula COUNTIFS($A:$A;F2;$B:$B;I$1) where A:A are the same as above and B:B is the second column "Skills" in your original table and I1 is the Skills in the new table..
Is this the result you want?
If so, it was just a matter of moving "Site" above "skill" under the Column section of the Pivot Table Editor. See below:
If someone could help me out that would be fantastic and thank you in advance
I have big excel list with different orders that looks like this example
What I would need to do is to:
Search and match data based on column I and then when it matches it should merge together that rows, and create 1 row like 8th and 9th row here.
But it should do a sum of costs (column H) and for row G seats to create a format like 10-11 here, but if I have multiple rows where there are numbers 10,11,12 it should format 10-12. ANd all this new rows should go in the new sheet/tab in the same excel file.
This should be fairly straight forward using Pivot tables. You can simply use "Order Number" in the column and simply aggregate everything else. If you haven't used pivot tables before the following link should get you started:

There are a couple of options for the concatenation issue. The easiest option is to use Power query for this. The following link highlights a couple of possible ways to do this:
https://superuser.com/questions/453041/grouping-labels-and-concatenating-their-text-values-like-a-pivot-table
I would recommend Power query as it is the easier option.
I have been looking at different forums and I hope someone could help me here.
I want to conditionally format a cell based on certain criteria
The below would be a master table from which I will need to select data
and compute the values in this table
So, in the formula, I want to see how Phil's time is allocated across three Sprints. So, I will need to look at Sprint column in table 1 and search for Sprint 1, find Phil assigned to Sprint 1 and add the "estimate" total in table 2.
I saw something like this on the forum, but, no luck. I also tried using lookups and index and all I see are errors. If you have an easy way of solving for this, I would really appreciate.
You can use SUMIFS
The formula in B2 is:
=SUMIFS($I:$I,$J:$J,$A2,$G:$G,B$1)
This looks like a pretty basic sumifs.
=SUMIFS(Table1[estimate], Table1[sprint], H$2, Table1[assignee], $G3)
Don't drag the formula to fill the other cells. Copy and paste into the larger area. Dragging will shift the column references like relative cell addressing. Copying and pasting will treat the structured table references as absolute.
I have one Excel file with two sheets. The first sheets contains data (Events with date and more information in columns), and in the second sheet I want to display Events from one sort of category and if they are in the future.
I tried various aproaches, but could't work it out at all. First I tried to transose the data from the first sheet, which made me realize was a bad approach, then I tried Vlookup which seems to be the best approach, but even after 6 tutorials I couldn't make it work to get the whole row, where the Category is "Walk Up".
To display a list with all "Walk Up" Events would be one first good step. After that I will have to check if the date for the events has been expired would be the second.
Criteria:
Event has EventType: "Walk Up"
Event has date > today
==> Get all Events matching the criteria
Any help or suggestions are much appreciated!

let's assume you have a data setup like this:
[
I think the easiest way to achieve what you want is to create a helper column. In this example, we'll use column D. We'll also setup the criteria you want to pull by having those as sort of criteria information over your result set. It'll end up looking this this:
[
So to get it to look like that, I did the following:
Put this formula in your helper column (in this case cell D2 and copied down): =IF(AND(A2=$G$1,B2>$G$2),MAX(D$1:D1)+1,"")
Put this formula in cell F5 and copy down: =IF(ROW(F1)>MAX(D:D),"",$G$1)
Put this formula in cell G5 and copy over and down: =IF($F5="","",INDEX($A:$C,MATCH(ROW(G1),$D:$D,0),MATCH(G$4,$1:$1,0)))
At this point you can hide the helper column if preferred, and if you want your results on a different sheet, just cut and paste to a different sheet (in this case you'd cut columns F:H).
I hope everyone is having a great day. I have an excel file where the employees ID number is in column A. Then I have 4 other columns that tell me if an employee filled out data for Degree, Work Experience, Experience Level and Languages known. The employee may appear more than once therefore creating several lines for the same employee.
I need to know of a formula that will detect how many of the lines the employee has filled in. The trick here is for example if an employee has already filled in the four columns in any one of the rows to just appear as complete.
I tied using an IF formula but its not working for me.
There is no need for VBA. As I suggested in my comments above, add a helper column (Let's say in B) and put the formula mentioned below in cell B2 and pull it down.
=IF(COUNTA(C2:F2)=4,"Complete","")
Output
Try the UsedRange property.
E.g.,
ActiveSheet.UsedRange.Columns.Count
