I am struggling with a formula. I have tried a number of different calculations, but cannot seem to figure it out. Below is the data table
What I am trying to achieve is below
if your source starts from A1 (not the row number, but date value), then put formulas in
Q1: =INT((ROW()-1)/3)+1
R1: =INDIRECT(ADDRESS(Q1,(MOD((ROW()-1),3))*5+1))
S1: =INDIRECT(ADDRESS(Q1,(MOD((ROW()-1),3))*5+2))
T1: =INDIRECT(ADDRESS(Q1,(MOD((ROW()-1),3))*5+3))
U1: =INDIRECT(ADDRESS(Q1,(MOD((ROW()-1),3))*5+4))
then select the 5 cells, and pull them down, then you get the results

I am trying to create an output in excel based off the number of words in cells. Essentially i want to check if the sum of the words in 3 cells is = 1,2 or >=3. Im using the len formula which i have successfully used on single cell conditions but im struggling to create the formula that would check multiple cells.
Below is an example of my data:
Column A Column B Column C
Cat;dog Bird
Formula
=SUMIF(AND(LEN(TRIM(A4))-LEN(SUBSTITUTE(B4," ",""))+1, LEN(TRIM(C4))-LEN(SUBSTITUTE(C4," ",""))+1, >=3), "Titanium")
https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1W6nFr-W0r-XWZnvrFWndsvdBEEGHMQUa/edit?usp=sharing&ouid=103068518904190156690&rtpof=true&sd=true
First I made a single formula to work on a single cell. It ignores semicolons and commas to calculate total words. That formula is in column F and it's:
=IF(LEN(E5)=0;0;LEN(TRIM(SUBSTITUTE(SUBSTITUTE(E5;";";" ");",";" ")))-LEN(SUBSTITUTE(TRIM(SUBSTITUTE(SUBSTITUTE(E5;";";" ");",";" "));" ";""))+1
Notice I added an IF to make sure that blank cells will count as 0 words (because the +1 will be added wrongly and we need to avoid this.
Now you just need to sum up all results and we get 8 words.
What you want is to get this result with a single formula and that can be perfomed with array formulas. In cell F11 my formula is:
=SUM(IF(LEN(E5:E8)=0;0;LEN(TRIM(SUBSTITUTE(SUBSTITUTE(E5:E8;";";" ");",";" ")))-LEN(SUBSTITUTE(TRIM(SUBSTITUTE(SUBSTITUTE(E5:E8;";";" ");",";" "));" ";""))+1))
You need to introduce this formula pressing CTRL+ENTER+SHIFT or it won't work!
Now you got the result in a single formula and you just need to add your conditions mentioned in your post
UPDATE: In your Google Sheets, the correct formula would be:
=ArrayFormula(IF(SUM(IF(LEN(TRIM(A3:B3))=0,0,LEN(TRIM(A3:C3))-LEN(SUBSTITUTE(A3:C3," ",""))+1))>=3,"Good","Bad"))
Please, notice Excel is not the same as Google Sheets so sometimes the formulas may be different in one of them.
I have a data file and I need to return the dates of when the value (MaxT) is greater than or equal to 30 (>=30) for 3 consecutive days.
Data File:
Date, MaxT
1872-03-01,31
1872-03-02,29
1872-03-03,37
1872-03-04,40
1872-03-05,22
1872-03-06,9
1872-03-07,28
1872-03-08,31
1872-03-09,35
1872-03-10,37
1872-03-11,44
1872-03-12,29
1872-03-13,35
1872-03-14,48
1872-03-15,33
1872-03-16,31
1872-03-17,38
1872-03-18,31
1872-03-19,42
1872-03-20,20
1872-03-21,24
1872-03-22,31
I have attempted to figure this out using the following code but, I do not think I'm even in the ballpark...
Attempted Code:
=SUMPRODUCT(--(FREQUENCY(IF(B2:B23>=30,ROW(B2:B23)),IF(B2:B23>=30,ROW(B2:B23)))=3))
I'm assuming that your data file consists of 2 columns Date and Max T. If they are delimited by commas, you need to split them to 2 different columns using Text to columns delimited by commas ,.
The Date should be in Column A and Max T in Column B.
Enter the below formula in cellC2 and drag down,
=IF(AND(B2>=30,B3>=30,B4>=30),"Consecutive Range","")
The starting of the consecutive range of values greater than 30 will be shown in the output as above. You could then use a filter of some other excel function like Index-Match to get the corresponding dates. Hope this helps.
Alright, I got it to work, but I'm not entirely sure how you would make it work without separating the formula into multiple cells.
One potential solution would be to write some of the formulas into a sheet that's in the background, place the final part of the formula in the front sheet and have it reference the "hidden" bits of the formula.
First, I wrote the data in columns... "Date" in Column A, "MaxT" in Column B.
The first part of the formula is written in cell D2:
=IF(B2>=30,B2,"")
The next part of the formula is written in cell E2:
=COUNT(D2:D4)
The last part of the formula is written in cell F2:
=IF(E2=3,A2&","&A3&","&A4,"")
The result of this formula, in column F, there are 7 cells that have three dates written in them, separated by a comma.
Note that you can make any character or string of text separate the three displayed dates by replacing the commas that are in-between the ampersand, quote text:
(&","&) can become (&"anything you want"&)
From here, auto-fill the formulas to the relevant cells.
EDIT:
One way to shorten the code is to add the COUNT formula into the last IF statement like this:
=IF(COUNT(D2:D4)=3,A9&","&A10&","&A11,"")
I do still think that the first IF statement will need to be separate from the rest of the formula, though.
EDIT #2
Here is the code in one single cell:
=IF(AND(B2>=30,B3>=30,B4>=30), A2&","&A3&","&A4,"")
Which will display three dates that are located within Column A, current row & the next two rows below it.
This code still produces 7 lines of results with the data that you've provided.
I'm learning to use array formulas and have been successful doing simple things like adding 2 columns together in a third column. For example, I can put =arrayformula(B:B+C:C) in D1 and it adds B and C for each row.
But now I have a situation where I want to subtract two numbers in the same column. I want to take the value of that column in the current row and subtract the previous row's value from it. Without array formulas this is simple: in O7 I put =N7-N6 and cop that down so O8 gets =N8-N7, etc. But that requires copying down every time - can I do the same thing with an array formula?
Basically, can I do something like =arrayformula(B:B+(B-1):(B-1)) ?
Context: column N is a monthly account balance. I would like to calculate how much that balanced changed each month. So for row 7, =N7-N6 gives me that difference. But I'm changing the entire spreadsheet to array formulas so I can stop pasting all of the formulas and I'm stuck on this one since it's comparing the same column.
I'm trying to get everything into Row 1 so my values and calculations can start in Row 2. For example, here's one of my formulas in Row 1:
arrayformula(if(row(A:A)=1,"Total gross income",if(LEN(B:B),B:B+C:C,"")))
Unfortunately, in Column O (the one I asked about originally) if I do this:
=arrayformula(if(row(A:A)=1,"Amount saved this month",if(row(A:A)>1,if(LEN(N:N),N2:N-N:N,""))))
Or this:
=arrayformula(if(row(A:A)=1,"Amount saved this month",if(row(A:A)>1,if(LEN(N:N),offset(N:N,1,0)-N:N,""))))
Every row is off by 1 - the result that should go in Row 3 goes in Row 2, etc. And if I do this:
=arrayformula(if(row(A:A)=1,"Amount saved this month",if(row(A:A)>1,if(LEN(N:N),N:N-offset(N:N,-1,0),""))))
Then it gives me an error because the offset function is trying to evaluate something out of range (possibly it starts with N1 and tries to grab a value 1 row above N1?)
Any advice on how to handle that out-of-range error?
I think the error is because of offset range N:N which starts from N1 and you are trying to shift it -1 or one cell up, which brings the formula out of sheet.
Try this formula instead:
=arrayformula(
{"Amount saved this month";
if(LEN(N2:N),N2:N-offset(N2:N,-1,0),"")})
It uses {} to make an array. See more info:

Bonus. There is no reason to check row number now.
I have a table that is pulling thousands of rows of data from a very large sheet. Some of the columns in the table are getting their data from every 5th row on that large sheet. In order to speed up the process of creating the cell references, I used an OFFSET formula to grab a cell from every 5th row:
=OFFSET('Large Sheet'!B$2572,(ROW(1:1)-1)*5,,)
=OFFSET('Large Sheet'!B$2572,(ROW(2:2)-1)*5,,)
=OFFSET('Large Sheet'!B$2572,(ROW(3:3)-1)*5,,)
=OFFSET('Large Sheet'!B$2572,(ROW(4:4)-1)*5,,)
=OFFSET('Large Sheet'!B$2572,(ROW(5:5)-1)*5,,)
etc...
OFFSET can eat up resources during calculation of large tables though, and I'm looking for a way to speed up/simplify my formula. Is there any easy way to convert the OFFSET formula into just a simple cell reference like:
='Large Sheet'!B2572
='Large Sheet'!B2577
='Large Sheet'!B2582
='Large Sheet'!B2587
='Large Sheet'!B2592
etc...
I can't just paste values either. This needs to be an active reference, because the large sheet will change.
Thanks for your help.
And here is one last approach to this that does not use VBA or formulas. It's just a quick and dirty use of AutoFilter and deleting rows.
Main idea
Add a reference to a cell =Sheet1!A1 and copy it down to match as many rows as there are in the main data.
Add another formula in B1 to be =MOD(ROW(), 5)
Filter column B and uncheck the 0s (or any single number)
Delete all the rows that are visible
Delete column B
Voila, formulas for every 5th row
Some reference images, these are all taken on Sheet2.
Formulas with AutoFilter ready.
Filtered and ready to delete
Delete all those rows (select A1, CTRL+SHIFT+DOWN ARROW, SHIFT+SPACE, CTRL+MINUS)
Delete column B to get final result with "pure" formulas every 5th row.
If you want to take a VBA approach to this, you can generate the references very quickly using simple For loops.
Here is some very crude code which can get you started. It uses hard-coded sheet names and variables. I am really just trying to show the i*5 part.
Sub CreateReferences()
For i = 0 To 12
For j = 0 To 5
Sheet2.Range("H1").Offset(i, j).Formula = _
"=Sheet1!" & Sheet1.Range("A5").Offset(i * 5, j).Address
Next
Next
End Sub
It works by building a quick formula using the Address from a reference to a cell on Sheet1. The only key here is have one index count cells in the "summary" rows and multiply by 5 to get the reference to the "master" sheet. I am starting at A5 just to match the results from INDEX.
Results show the formula input for H1 and over. I am comparing to the INDEX results generated above.
Here is one approach using INDEX instead of OFFSET. I am not sure if it is faster, I guess you can check. INDEX is not volatile, so you might get some advantage from that.
Picture of ranges, you can see that Sheet1 has a lot of data and Sheet2 is pulling every 5th row from that sheet. The data in Sheet1 goes from A1:F1000 and just reports the address of the current cell.
Formulas use INDEX and are copied down and across from A1 on Sheet2.
=INDEX(Sheet1!$A$1:$F$1000,ROW()*5,COLUMN())
I have the following formula in my B:B column
=VLOOKUP(A1;'mySheet'!$A:$B;2;FALSE)
It does output in B:B the values found in the mySheet!B:B where A:A = mySheet!A:A. It works fine. Now, I would like to also get the third column. It works if I add the following formula to the whole C:C column:
=VLOOKUP(A1;'mySheet'!$A:$C;3;FALSE)
However, I'm working with more than 100k lines and about 40 columns. I don't want to do 100k * 40 * VLOOKUP, I would like to only do it 100k and not have to multiply this by all the columns. Is there a way (with array-formulas maybe) to just do the VLOOKUP once per line to get all the columns I need?
data example
ID|Name
-------
1|AB
2|CB
3|DF
4|EF
ID|Column 1|Column 2
--------------------
1|somedata|whatever1
4|somedate|whatever2
3|somedaty|whatever3
I would like to get:
ID|Name|Column 1|Column 2
-------------------------
1|AB |somedata|whatever1
2|CB | |
3|DF |somedaty|whatever2
4|EF |somedate|whatever3
INDEX works fast than VLOOKUP, I would recommend using that. It'll reduce the strain that many vlookups would put on your system.
First find the row that contains what you need in a helper column with MATCH:
=MATCH(A1,'mySheet'!$A:$A,0)
Then an INDEX using that number, that you can drag across and populate all your columns with:
=INDEX('mySheet'!B:B,$B1)
Your output would be akin to:
ID|Name|Match |Column 1 |Column 2
-------------------------
1|AB |Match1|IndexCol1|IndexCol2
2|CD |Match2|IndexCol1|IndexCol2
3|EF |Match3|IndexCol1|IndexCol2
Also! I'd recomend setting these ranges to actually cover the data, rather than referencing the whole column, for additional speed gains, e.g.:
=INDEX('mySheet'!B1:B100000,$B1)
I was thinking more on your problem, and if you have contorl over the data you're looking up on, I have another suggestion you could try.
In 'mysheet', where the raw data is kept, add in a new column that concatenates each column into one cell, with some sort of unique divider not in your data:
=B1&"+"&C1&"+"&D1&"+"&E1 etc...
Then you could do one VLOOKUP or INDEX/MATCH for each row, instead of 40.
Once you have it in your new sheet, you could split the results back out.
Splitting without formulas
Copy/Paste the results of the lookup formulas as Values in the next column.
Select that column, and in the Data tab on your ribbon, select Text to Columns.
Leave it on Delimited, hit Next. Uncheck Tab, check Other, and input your delimeter (+ in my example).
Click Finish.
Splitting with formulas
Use =FIND() to locate each delimter, and =MID() to pull out the text between each set of delimeters, using the previous delimeter as the Start_num.
Definitely the more complex of the two methods.
If I'm understanding correctly one thing I would do to start would be to use =VLOOKUP(A1;'mySheet'!$A:LastColumn;COLUMN(B1);FALSE). This way your column reference will move as you drag your Vlookup to the right.
No formula.No output. So there can't be a way to apply formula on 1 column only and get on the others.
The other feasible way is, put i formula in 1 cell, use $ signs inteligently and drag across all cells in a giffy without having to put vlookup 40 times.
Vlookup has 4 codes to input
1-Lookup Value. Use this $A1 (put $ on A and not 1)
2-Source data- Put $ signs everywhere
3-Column index no. Just above your entire data,in the 1st row,add an empty row.Put the values 1 in A1, 2 in B1, 3 in C1 and so on. Now in the formula,instead of manually putting "2" or "3" Give reference to these cells.Put $ on Numberal and not column ( B$1).
4- Type false or 0
Then drag this across everywhere.
Lookup Value. Use this $A1 (put $ on A and not 1)
Source data- Put $ signs everywhere
Column index no. Just use column name from where data needs to be pulled (e.g. COLUMN(B1) if Lookup value is in Column A and you want value from column B).
Type false or 0
