FIND formula, Correlation Table - excel

I have a correlation table like so:
I want to make a static formula that can produce the following outcome for a large correlation table. There are 2 parts, the #, and the text. I can imagine the # and text needs to be parsed and then the formula to be applied.
IF # 's are equal, produce 1, if not produce .35
IF text are equal produce 1, if not product .99
if both are equal produce 1.
I've tried something like IF(A2=B1,1,.99) thus far but this misses alot of what i'm looking for.
Any help would be appreciated.

Use this formula:
=IF(LEFT(B$1,FIND("_",B$1)-1)=LEFT($A2,FIND("_",$A2)-1),1,0.35)*IF(MID(B$1,FIND("_",B$1)+1,LEN(B$1))=MID($A2,FIND("_",$A2)+1,LEN($A2)),1,0.99)
Then copy over and down.

Match and Conditional Formatting from Matrix Table

I am looking for some decent help with my matrix table, and is there a good or best approach to properly match dependent instances in certain matrix using drop downs.
This picture represents my matrix table (Picture 1):
As you can see there are a lot of instances, but horizontally and vertically they got the same number of "headers". Those "1`s" are representing not compatibility in my case but lets call it simply "match". That is on one sheet that is gonna be populated with some new values from time to time.
On another sheet which is actually sheet for showing the data and their compatibility possibilities is equipped with drop downs. There you got "Groups (Group1, Group2...)" in a sense of main parts and "dependent groups (AA1, BB2..)" as small components that are part of main parts. To avoid misunderstanding here you have explanations, I used for the sake of this example fictional values:
Groups aka. Main Parts
Dependent groups aka. components
As you can see beneath, is my fictional table but exactly the same concept as I should use in my real case.
I PUT AN EXPLANATION IN THE PICTURE 2 SO YOU CAN FOLLOW ALONG AND SEE EXACTLY WHERE/WHAT I DID!
What I used firstly there are =match functions, one for vertical position (A3) and one for horizontal (B4). This boolean row is done using =or(index) but reffering to the match positions as you can see. And from there I should use true/false for coloring my group boxes in a case compatibility is possible - thats all the science.
So, my question is if there is another approach to this problem? As you can see I have 3 different rows of functions at one place, or imagine if I will have more "groups" that can rise in many more rows and calculations.
Picture 2
EDITED:
This is screenshot of the original sheet, I just hid some rows that were with Infos that is reason the number is not consistent. As you can see it is almost the same as dummy example I provided above. Underneath every "box" you got three rows of calculations as I mentioned before. The two times number "2" that you see here is the position of some value that I found using =match function, one is for horizontal and another for vertical lookup. In this case it is model type, 070FX is position 2, 100FX is 3 and 200FX is 4th position in the matrix table, and so on for all the other groups. And those groups (Model, Endpoint, Gas sensor...) are defined separately on another sheet where I had to make unique list and dependent list so I can reference those to my drop down list.
EDIT Nr 4! So this formula I used for true/false:
=SUMPRODUCT(('0359-matrix'!$A$2:$A$101=F10)*(('0359-matrix'!$B$1:$CW$1=$B$10)+('0359-matrix'!$B$1:$CW$1=$C$10)+('0359-matrix'!$B$1:$CW$1=$D$10)+('0359-matrix'!$B$1:$CW$1=$E$10)+('0359-matrix'!$B$1:$CW$1=$F$10)+('0359-matrix'!$B$1:$CW$1=$G$10)+('0359-matrix'!$B$1:$CW$1=$H$10)+('0359-matrix'!$B$1:$CW$1=$I$10)+('0359-matrix'!$B$1:$CW$1=$J$10)+('0359-matrix'!$B$1:$CW$1=$K$10)+('0359-matrix'!$B$1:$CW$1=$L$10)+('0359-matrix'!$B$1:$CW$1=$M$10)+('0359-matrix'!$B$1:$CW$1=$N$10)+('0359-matrix'!$B$1:$CW$1=$O$10)+('0359-matrix'!$B$1:$CW$1=$P$10)+('0359-matrix'!$B$1:$CW$1=$Q$10)+('0359-matrix'!$B$1:$CW$1=F13)+('0359-matrix'!$B$1:$CW$1=G13)+('0359-matrix'!$B$1:$CW$1=H13)+('0359-matrix'!$B$1:$CW$1=I13)+('0359-matrix'!$B$1:$CW$1=J13))*'0359-matrix'!$B$2:$CW$101)>0
I copied only last part, or when it starts from second row..Because it is too long to write whole funciton - it cuts down automatically.
('0359-matrix'!$B$1:$CW$1=$Q$10)+('0359-matrix'!$B$1:$CW$1=$B$13)+('0359-matrix'!$B$1:$CW$1=$C$13)+('0359-matrix'!$B$1:$CW$1=$D$13)+('0359-matrix'!$B$1:$CW$1=$E$13)+('0359-matrix'!$B$1:$CW$1=$F$13))*'0359-matrix'!$B$2:$CW$101)>0
But on marked cells I am getting the same results: B22 - F22 has the same as B21 - F21 (boolean) what shouldnt be like that but to follow color, green is False, it has to be something with an array reference.
Checkout the following. A1 to E5 is the matrix that shows which pieces are incompatible (=1). The others have to be empty or 0.
In cell I8 I used the following formula (and copied it down up to I11):
=SUMPRODUCT(($A$2:$A$5=H8)*(($B$1:$E$1=$H$8)+($B$1:$E$1=$H$9)+($B$1:$E$1=$H$10)+($B$1:$E$1=$H$11))*$B$2:$E$5)
The formula result shows you the amount of incompatibilities a part has. Eg AA1 has one incompatibility with BB2 but BB2 is incompatible with 2 AA1 and CC3.
To get the TRUE/FALSE use the same formula and append >0: like =SUMPRODUCT(…)>0
For any additinonal "group" (Model, Endpoint, …) you need to add another +($B$1:$E$1=$H$12) where $B$1:$E$1 points to your matrix data and $H$12 to your selected group value.
Overview of the formula ranges:
Note that this kind of calculation can only tell the amount of incompatibilites a part has but not the names of the parts that are incompatible.
Edited horizontal version
Formula in the selected cell is
=SUMPRODUCT(($A$2:$A$5=G8)*(($B$1:$E$1=$G$8)+($B$1:$E$1=$H$8)+($B$1:$E$1=$I$8)+($B$1:$E$1=$J$8))*$B$2:$E$5)
you can pull it to the right.

Excel multilevel array formula with partial string matches to sum resultant cells

I've been trying to sort this for over a day now without much luck. I have successfully used SUMIFS, INDEX, MATCH, COUNTIF, "--" etc array functions previously and am not a novice, but also not an expert on these. I can't seem to weave these together correctly, and likely on an altogether incorrect path.
Basically, I am trying to aggregate data from multiple spreadsheets, requiring a mapping of various items (rows) into a canonical form for summing.
The image here shows a representative, but simplified version of my quest. Each "region" on this example spreadsheet (Final..., Mapping, DataSet1, DataSet2) is actually in different spreadsheets, and there are several sheets with 50-150 rows in each xlsx.
Note that the names in Column B are quite arbitrary (meaning not all P1's have an 'x' pattern, like shown here as x1, x2, etc. Do not rely on any pattern in the names, except the x, y , z in the Mapping table are substrings (case insensitive, trailing match) of the names in Column B in the DataSets.
And in the image, the Final Result Table (summed manually) is what I want to compute via(an array) formula: A single formula would be ideal (given I have many spreadsheets from which the monthly data is being pulled from, so I can't readily modify but can create an interim spreadsheet if required, so open to helper columns or helper rows).
Here's the process - For each name (B3-B5) in the Final Result Table, I want to sum the name from it's components as follows:
Lookup all the matches in the Mapping Table (so for P1, the formula =IF($C$10:$C$15=$B3, $B$10:$B$15,"") gives {"x1";"";"";"x2";"";"x3"}.
I then want to search each of x1, x2, and x3 in B19:B26 to get rows 21, 22, 24, 25, 26 in DataSet1 and B31:B35 to get row 32 in DataSet2, to then add up the Jan totals into C3. (Effectively,
C3=C21+C22+C24+C25+C26+C32). Same for P2 and P3, and thru Feb, Mar, ...
I am stuck on how to remove blank or 0 or Div0 or such "error rows" from the interim result in 2, and also need to use 2 arrays of different sizes (3 valid rows in example 2 above, ignoring blanks) to search many rows in DataSets. I tried SEARCH("*"&IF($C$10:$C$15=$B3, $B$10:$B$15,""), $B$19:$B$26) but get unexpected results. I have tried to replace text in the interim result {"x1";"";"";"x2";"";"x3"} with TRUE/FALSE, and 1/0, etc. to help with INDEX or MATCH, but am stymied by errors in downstream ("surrounding") formulas.
Thanks in advance.
Here is a solution without resorting to nasty (imo) CSE formulas.
= SUMPRODUCT($C$19:$F$26*(COUNTIFS($B$10:$B$15, RIGHT($B$19:$B$26,2),$C$10:$C$15,$B3)>0)*($C$18:$F$18=C$2))
+
SUMPRODUCT($C$31:$F$35*(COUNTIFS($B$10:$B$15, RIGHT($B$31:$B$35,2),$C$10:$C$15,$B3)>0)*($C$30:$F$30=C$2))
There is one SUMPRODUCT for each data set. If possible, it would be better to put all your data sets into a single table with a column identify which data set it is a part of.
The way it works is to takes each values in your data set and multiplies it by whether the 2 right most character appear in your mapping table for that P code, multiplied by whether the value is in the correct month. So it returns 0 if either of those conditions are false. Then returns the sum.
UPDATE IN RESPONSE TO OP COMMENTS
If, the X,Y, Z codes are not always 2 digits but the first part is ALWAYS 8 digits, you can easily amend the:
RIGHT($B$19:$B$26,2)
to be:
RIGHT($B$19:$B$26,LEN($B$19:$B$26)-8)
Making the formula for the first data set:
=SUMPRODUCT($C$19:$F$26*(COUNTIFS($B$10:$B$15, RIGHT($B$19:$B$26,LEN($B$19:$B$26)-8),$C$10:$C$15,$B3)>0)*($C$18:$F$18=C$2))
And you can amend for other data sets and simply add them together.
Nice challenge! Are you willing to drop all your tables (DataSet1, DataSet2...) into one spreadsheet, so that we can refer just one single range for each month?
Here's one solution (hopefully a good starting point) - array formula (Ctrl+Shift+Enter):
=SUMPRODUCT(IFERROR(IF(TRANSPOSE(IF($B3=$C$10:$C$15,$B$10:$B$15,""))=RIGHT($B$18:$B$36,2),C$18:C$36,0),0))

Ranking with subsets

I'm trying to rank values and have managed to work out how to sort ties. My data looks at the total number of entries, ranks based on that and if there is a tie it looks to the next column of values to sort them out. However, I have two classes (East and West I've called them) of data within my dataset and want to rank them both separately (but stick to the rules above). So, if I had seven entries, 3 of them West and 4 of the East, I want West to have ranking 1,2,3 based on all the values that lie in that subset and East would have ranking 1,2,3,4. Can you explain what your formula is doing so I can understand how to apply your answer better in the future.
Effectively I'm asking what formula needs to go in achieve my result.
Cheers

There are a few related ways to do this, most involving SUMPRODUCT. If you don't like the solution below and would like to research other ways/explanations, try searching for "rankif".
The function looks up the Class and Value columns and, for every value in those columns, returns a TRUE or 1 if the current Class is a match AND if its Value is larger than the current Value, False or 0 if otherwise. The SUM adds up all these 1s, and the 1+ is for decoration. Remember to enter as an array formula using Ctrl+Shift+Enter before dragging down.
I used the array formula and SUM above to explain, but the following also works and might even be faster since it's not an array formula. It's the same idea, except we hijack SUMPRODUCT's ability to spit out a single value from an array.
=1+SUMPRODUCT(($A$2:$A$8=A2)*($B$2:$B$8>B2))
EDIT
To extend the rank-if, you could add more subsets to rank by multiplying more conditions:
You can also easily add tiebreakers by adding another SUMPRODUCT to treat the ties as an additional subset:
The first SUMPRODUCT is the 'base rank', while the second SUMPRODUCT is tiebreaker #1.

Match 2 columns based on a % difference within the value

I am looking for a method to match two excel tables.
I basically have two Systems, where the values do not exactly match only some IDs. The values in system 2 are usually 10-20% different from system 1.
Here is how the sheet looks like:
I tried to use vlookup on the IDs and then going hand-by-hand through the values if they match, by using the filter with the ID. However, this takes extremely long and is very cumbersome.
Any recommendation how to match these two tables, much more easily?
I really appreciate your replies!
If you look at a formula for G3 you would be involving D3:E3 and A:B (where A10:B10 are the matching values).
When someone states that they are looking for a percentage, it is helpful to know "a percentage of what...?". You receive a different result if the calculation is ABS(12 - 15)/15 instead of ABS(12 - 15)/12. One may within tolerance and the other may not.
In any event, the formula for G3 would be something like,
=ABS(E3-VLOOKUP(D3,A:B, 2, FALSE))/E3
... or,
=ABS(E3-VLOOKUP(D3,A:B, 2, FALSE))/VLOOKUP(D3,A:B, 2, FALSE)
That produces a result of 0.25% or 0.20% depending on how you calculate the percentage. You could wrap that in an IF statement for a YES/NO text result or use a custom number format like [Color3][>0.2]\NO;;[Color10]\Y\E\S;# which will show a red NO for values greater than 20% and a green YES for values between 0 and 20%. Negative values do not have to be accounted for as the ABS removes them from consideration.
       
I've only reproduced a minimum of your sample data for demonstration purposes but perhaps you can get an idea on how to proceed from that.

Excel: Replace strings with numbers in a formula?

I have color strings in one of my columns, like red, purple and so on. I want to replace those colors with corresponding numbers. Red becomes 1, purple becomes 2 and so on.
Thats not so hard, I used substitute, like this:
SUBSTITUTE(E3;"red";"1")
Now the problem ist that some columns have 2 or more colors, like "red purple", so I tried using:
SUBSTITUTE(E3;"red";"1")&SUBSTITUTE(E3;"purple";"2")
That results in a value in my column that looks like 1red, There is the color from that row attached for each &SUBSTITUTE I add. If I added another color, like that
SUBSTITUTE(E3;"red";"1")&SUBSTITUTE(E3;"purple";"2")&SUBSTITUTE(E3;"green";"3")
it would become 1redred.
How can I solve this issue? I want to replace each color string with its corresponding number.
Thanks!
Try this
=SUBSTITUTE(SUBSTITUTE(E3,"Purple","2"),"Red","1")
Please consider the following more compact solutions (assuming tested cell is A2):
Using MATCH: if you need to return sequenced numbers like 1, 2, 3 ... - this formula will do the job:
=IFERROR(MATCH(A2,{"Red","Green","Blue"},0),"UNKNOWN COLOR")
You may add a multiplier / constant to the returned value as well. Order in sequence of strings equals the number returned.
Using VLOOKUP: if you need some defined set of returned values - define them in 2-dim array constant:
=IFERROR(VLOOKUP(A2,{"Red",10;"Green",20;"Blue",30},2,0),"UNKNOWN COLOR")
For this example 10, 20 and 30 will be returned.
Both formulas include error handling for unspecified colors.
Sample file is shared: https://www.dropbox.com/s/77aj1vl6c5gek5c/ColorsLookup.xlsx
P.S. I'm not sure about correct array dimension delimiters, since my local settings use different ones, but in sample file formulas work fine.
