My problem seems trivial … but I have stacked in Excel.
I have a really big data sheet and to be able to work with it I applied 3 first rows as frozen (not all cells in this range are filled but sometimes it looks like:
C1: Shop1,
C2: year,
C3: cashier
....data1
....data2
). Then I add there a filter and when data is filtered, I can see only the first row – without row 2 and 3.
Is there any way how to make the frozen rows, frozen also for filtering? Like “untouchable” headers?
Thanks for any answer
You need to input the filter starting in row 3, in other words, select the entire row number 3 in your data table and click on filter. This way you maintain the top 3 rows when you filter your data.
A work around for this could be.
split the view for the top three rows and then create filter on the first row, considering each cell of the first row can be used as column header.
Then you can use the lower part of the split view to work and the top three rows will always be there.
This though not optimal but a quick solution for large sheets with more than 3-4000+ rows of data.
Hope this helps.

A simplified example of what I am looking for is a quick way (either a tool or a keystroke) to fill a table where every 5 rows of the first column has a different operator name. The fill would place the first name into the first 5 rows of the table, the second name into rows 6 - 10, and the third name into rows 11 - 15. The images below are a visual representation of before and after the fill.
I am aware of different ways to fill the rows one operator at a time in this example, but is there a way to fill all three in one go? This would be very helpful in larger scale situations. Thanks!

Is there a way in excel to copy the contents of one column to another sheet based on particular values in another column.
I have data which looks like this:
Sheet1:
Sheet2:
I would like to copy the column A of sheet 1 directly onto column A of sheet 2, but only if the value in column B is Y.
I have tried used the match function but am not sure how the best way to do this would be. Is there a way for me to achieve this?
My desired output is:
As discussed in the comments, #Waldorf99 was looking to have a second worksheet that would automatically show a filtered list from the first sheet. I can think of a few ways to do this (array formulas or pivot tables come to mind). The problem with mixing dynamic columns with static values is that the static values would become desynced from the dynamic ones.
In the original example, rows may have a blank value in the condition column in sheet one, and then may be assigned a Y or N at a later date. If a Y is assigned to a row in the middle of other rows, the filtered sheet would shift the existing rows down to make room. The static values would stay where they were, and would become desynced. To demonstrate:
If the above image is the original state of sheet 1 and 2...
...adding a y next to x.1.c would result in sheet two shifting columns A and B of row 2 down, but leaves columns C and D behind (as they are static, and not tied into the first two columns in any way).
One thing that may work as you are wanting are filters. You would only have one sheet, with all of the data manually entered. Then you can add filters, and change them to hide rows temporarily when needed.
To add and use filters:
Start with your data all on one sheet...
Highlight your data...
On the Home tab, select "Format as Table" and choose any style...
This turns your data into a table. You can filter by clicking the drop down in a given columns header row, then deselecting the values you want to hide.
The results are a table that only shows the rows with a 'Y'.
The other rows aren't removed, just hidden. You can always reset or change your filters, to configure which rows are visible.
Note: when working with tables, they will auto expand to account for new rows, so long as you work in the row directly under the table (e.g. don't leave blank rows). You can also manually resize the table at any time by clicking and dragging from the bottom right corner of the table.
There are tons of resources of Excel tables online, and it's a pretty useful tool in Excel.
Hope that achieves what you were looking for.
I am having two tables, one table (table 1) below is main data, separated into many columns and blocks per 10 rows in one, as you can see A2:A11, A12:A21 and so on (many rows and columns) ... In Column A are unique numbers, but one number per block as a unique, and all other information in other columns can differ, sometimes will be more data sometimes not. The data is always same structured.
What I am looking is to have report / printable sheet where I will have all my columns on one sheet, but in a Column A2 for instance drop down list that will use all unique numbers from main data table and populate all matches on report page, same as it is on picture below. There are many columns that should work automatically when I choose something from "Number" drop down. The trick here is, there must be 10 rows per block also, I have organized it as it should be, but I can't figure out how to populate using functions. So, you can imagine clicking one drop down and getting those lists updated without scrolling endlessly through columns and rows on main data table...
Where I have a problem is that I am getting matches only for first rows but not whole rows (or all rows where matches are) ...
using this function:
=INDEX(Table1[Datum];SMALL(IF(Table1[Nummer]=Printable!$A$2;ROW(Table1[Nummer])-ROW(INDEX(Table1[Nummer];1;1))+1);1))
If someone can help me out, I would be happy!
Try below formula. After putting formula to cell drag down and across as needed. I have tested this formula in Excel2013 and with range (not as table). So, you have to adjust formula for table. I suggest you to first test the formula in single sheet like my screenshot and if it is successful then go for table in Report sheet.
=INDEX(INDEX(B:B,MATCH($G$2,$A:$A,0)):INDEX(B:B,MATCH($G$2,$A:$A,0)+9),ROW(1:1))
I am newbie to the excel formulas.I have an excel sheet which has lets say 100 rows and 100 columns. columns have different values from 0 to 20. I want the rows where any of the column value is greater than 10.
How to ignore the hidden columns, if these are in the range, without modifying the range? I mean based on some IsHidden kind of property?
Something simple like:
Formula used in F1:
=IF(COUNTIF(A1:E1,">10")>0,TRUE,FALSE)
If you have data in 100 columns from A to CV, put this at the top of an empty column (CW1) and fill down:
=MAX(A1:CV1)>10
You could try:
=IF(MAX(A1:C1)>10,"Greater",IF(MAX(A1:C1)=10,"Equal",IF(MAX(A1:C1)<10,"Smaller")))
Image:
New Version as per request:
=IF(MAX(A1:B1,E1:F1)>10,"Greater",IF(MAX(A1:B1,E1:F1)=10,"Equal",IF(MAX(A1:B1,E1:F1)<10,"Smaller")))
You can't automatically ignore hidden columns in formulas, but you can automatically ignore hidden rows. If you transpose your data, using Copy > Paste Special, you can use this formula to test the maximum value ignoring hidden rows:
=AGGREGATE(4,5,A1:A100)>10
To understand the first two parameters, you can look at the help on the AGGREGATE function, or you can type out the function manually to get pop-ups lists that explain the options.

I have an 8MB 2010 .xslx workbook (no macros) that runs a full calc in about 2 seconds. It only 2 worksheets each with less than 1,500 rows. However, it has 100 and 200 columns. It takes 20+ seconds to insert or delete a row (and much much longer when I delete a group of rows).
It does have a fair amount of calculations in the workbook largely made up of index/match formulas. I went a process to simplify that process by only calculating the matches (for the most part) at the top and left of the worksheet. For example, All of F7:DV7 will point to only 2 rows on worksheet 2 so the match() is only done once in column C and D.
I realize index/match is more complicated than simple a+b and that excel likes rows more than columns but this file isn't that big at all and it seems like it should be able to handle it. And the fact that the calculation is fine, it's just when I add/delete rows that it's so slow has me bewildered.
I came across a similar issue recently, and I found this question while searching for an answer online. Unfortunately, it didn't include an answer, so I moved on. However, I found the reason why the worksheet I was working on was taking so long to delete rows and wanted to return to this question and add my 2 cents.
In my case, it turned out one of the vlookup formulas included table array written something as SheetName!$A$1:D5000. When the formula was copied down, the range expanded by one in every cell down. So the next cell down had defined table array as SheetName!$A$1:D5001. And this went on for a few thousand rows. Turning off automatic calculation had no effect on reducing the wait whenever deleting rows.
Anyway, changing the table array in the vlookup to SheetName!A:D and copying that vlookup down the column did the trick. You didn't mention you used a vlookup, but it could be happening in the index/match formulas.
this is an areas problem. When you filter your data and select an entire column, you are selecting multiple non contiguos ranges, i.e multiple areas. A workaround could be:
sort your data from a to z to group the rows you want to delete in
only one area
Filter the values you want to delete
Delte rows
Enjoy!
If the actual order of your data is important to you, just add a column, fill it with numbers from 1 to n. Perform steps 1) 2) and 3), then restore the original order. Perform step 3).
