I couldn't find anything similar.
I have a pretty big excel table but I can't get what I need from it.
I have a column for example of names
John
Johnny
Arny
Arny
John
Johanatan
Jeremie
Brook
Arny
Johanatan
I want it to return or show me results like that
Johnny 1
Arny 3
John 1
Jeremie 1
Brook 1
Johanatan 2
Couldn't find an appropriate excel to result me with that.

I have the following data in spreadsheet A.
name trait1 trait2 nice
0 Adam 29 81 0
1 Barry 17 75 1
2 Chris 62 0 1
I wish to create a spreadsheet B that will be a filtered copy of this data. Namely, let's assume for a moment that I want to filter nice = 1 and am interested only in column name. The copy in spreadsheet B would be as shown below. In spreadsheet B I wish to be adding some extra columns, e.g. education.
name nice education
1 Barry 1 primary
2 Chris 1 university
What I want to achieve is a spreadsheet B that will get updated if anything changes in spreadsheet A. So for example, if I were to change the name Barry to Ben. The spreadsheet B would become the following.
name nice education
1 Ben 1 primary
2 Chris 1 university
Similarly (and what I find to be the hardest), if a row is added in spreadsheet A, e.g.
name trait1 trait2 nice
0 Adam 29 81 0
1 Barry 17 75 1
2 Matt 69 11 1
3 Chris 62 0 1
The updated spreadsheet B would be as follows:
name nice education
1 Barry 1 primary
2 Matt 1
3 Chris 1 university
So I want the education column to remain the same.
My approach of using a combination of =IF() and =VLOOKUP() functions ultimately did not work. Guess I am really curious about how to connect rows of education to names. So that when a row is added in spreadsheet A, then spreadsheet B gets updated but the education field connected to the new row is empty and will be filled by hand later on.
Since you are looking for a finished product to be in Google Sheets, I'd advise to use QUERY():
Formula in I1:
=QUERY(INDEX({A:D,VLOOKUP(A:A,F:G,2,0)}),"Select Col1,Col4,Col5 where Col4=1")
Note: I made the assumption you pull the education in through a VLOOKUP() (since you mentioned that in the body of the question).
I have a dataset and want to create a simple counter using an arrayformula that counts the number of occurrences of a person in the table. I want it to give the below result in column "Counter":
Name Counter
John 1
Harry 1
Peter 1
Mark 1
John 2
John 2
Harry 2
Harry 3
This is easily achieved using
=countif($A$2:A2,A2)
But I need it within an arrayformula if possible!
If you are using google sheets, you can try
={"Conter"; Arrayformula(if(A2:A="",,countifs(A2:A, A2:A, row(A2:A), "<="&row(A2:A))))}
and see if that works?
Let's say I've got two tables with two columns. In both cases, the first column consists of a name and a second column consist string of characters with the similar pattern. It looks like this:
Table 1
Peter xxxxx01
John xxxxx01
Bill xxxxx01
William xxxxx01
Table 2
Richard xxxxx02
John xxxxx02
Bill xxxxx02
Arthur xxxxx02
Now, I'd like to compare these two tables, find values where the names are duplicated and display data stored in second columns, just like this:
(Peter excluded)
John xxxxx01 xxxxx02
Bill xxxxx01 xxxxx02
(William, Arthur excluded)
I am familiar with pivot tables, however, it won't allow doing this.
I've also tried messing with index match formulas but without much success.
Any advices?
You can use the VLOOKUP function for this.
If your "Table1" is in B3:C6, and your "Table 2" is in F3:G6, then you can use the following formula in D3:D6 to lookup the values in table 2;
Cell D3: =IFERROR(VLOOKUP(B3,$F$3:$G$6,2,FALSE),"")
This is first looking up the name in table 1 (Cell B3) against table 2 (F3:G6), and returning the second column of table 2 if it finds the name. If it doesn't find the name, it will return an error, so we wrap the VLOOKUP in an "IFERROR" function, and replace any errors with an empty string, so it looks a bit friendlier. This results in the following table;
A B C D E F G
1
2 Table 1 Result Table 2
3 Peter xxxxxx01 Richard xxxxxx02
4 John xxxxxx01 xxxxxx02 John xxxxxx02
5 Bill xxxxxx01 xxxxxx02 Bill xxxxxx02
6 William xxxxxx01 Arthur xxxxxx02
You can then filter on the (Non-Blanks) in column D to only get the results you're interested in.
Is there a way to make this
---A---
John
John
Tim
steve
John
-------
into this:
-----A--------B------
John 1
John 1
Tim 2
Steve 3
John 1

Have a large data file with duplicate names, and would like to number them in the way mentioned in order to use them in another way.
Please try:
=IF(COUNTIF(A$1:A2,A2)=1,MAX(B$1:B1)+1,VLOOKUP(A2,A$1:B1,2,0))
in B2 copied down, with labels or blanks in Row1.
Tried doing this a few ways and I think I'm just looking at this a little too complicated.
I have column a with several different names that repeat. I have column B with dollar amounts. I'm trying to get a formula that will add the totals amount for a specific person.
JOHN $17.23
JAMES $37.52
JOHN $14.23
JAMES $27.52
APRIL $32.00
APRIL $143.20
JOHN $90.27
JOHN $81.13
JOHN = Total for John
JAMES = Total for James
APRIL = Total for April
Thank you
Assuming this table
A B
1 Names Bill
2 John 10
3 Tom 20
4 John 4
5 Tom 3
To get the total for each name you can write
A B
7 Names Total
8 John =Sumif(A2:A5;A8;B2:B5)
9 Tom =Sumif(A2:A5;A9;B2:B5)
This will sum up each value for the given area.
Consider:
=SUMPRODUCT((A$1:A$8="John")*(B$1:B$8))
=SUMPRODUCT((A$1:A$8="James")*(B$1:B$8))
=SUMPRODUCT((A$1:A$8="April")*(B$1:B$8))
Striking my original response in favor of:
=SUMIF(B3:B10,"=JOHN",C3:C10) I tested that, and it works even better
