I have a table on Excel with data as the following:
Meaning, I have different JPH based on the %SMALL unit and the number of active stations.
I need to create a matrix like the following (with %SMALL on horizontal and STATIONS on vertical axes):
And the formula for each cell should:
Take the input of Stations (column "B")
Check, for that specific Stations number, the amount of data on the other table (like make a filter on STATIONS for the specific number)
Perform an VLOOKUP for checking the JPH based on the %SMALL value on row 2
Interpolate for the exact JPH value, if not found on table
For now, I was able to create the last part (the VLOOKUP and the interpolation), with the following:
=IFERROR(VLOOKUP(C2;'EARLY-STATIONS'!$F:$H;3;FALSE);AVERAGE(OFFSET(INDEX('EARLY-STATIONS'!$H:$H;MATCH(C2;'EARLY-STATIONS'!$F:$F;1));0;0;2;1)))
The problem I'm facing is than with this, the calculation is not checking the number of stations, so the Iteration is not accurate.
Unfortunately I cannot use VBA macros to solve this.
Any clue?
This is an attempt because more clarity is needed in terms of all possible scenarios to consider, based on different input data and how to understand the "extrapolation" process. This approach understands as extrapolation the average of two values (lower and greater), but the idea can be customized to any other way to calculate it. Per tags listed in the question I assume there is no Excel version constraint. This is O365 solution:
=LET(sm, A2:A10, st, B2:B10, jph, C2:C10, smx, F1:J1, sty, E2:E4, NULL, "",
GETLk, LAMBDA(x,y,mode, FILTER(jph, (st=y)
* (sm = INDEX(sm, XMATCH(x, sm, mode))), NULL)),
GET, LAMBDA(x,y, LET(f, FILTER(jph, (jph=GETLk(x,y, 1))
+ (jph=GETLk(x,y, -1)), NULL), IF(#f=NULL, NULL, AVERAGE(f)))),
HREDUCE, LAMBDA(yi, DROP(REDUCE("", smx, LAMBDA(ac,x,
HSTACK(ac, GET(x, yi)))),,1)),
DROP(REDUCE("", sty, LAMBDA(ac,y, VSTACK(ac, HREDUCE(y)))),1))
The above formula spills the entire result, I don't think for this case you can use a LOOKUP-like function.
Here is the output:
The highlighted cells where the average is calculated.
Explanation
The main idea is to use DROP/REDUCE/HSTACK/VSTACK pattern to generate the grid. Check my answer to the following question: how to transform a table in Excel from vertical to horizontal but with different length on how to apply it.
We use two user LAMBDA functions to abstract some calculations:
GETLk(x,y,mode), filters jph name based on %SMALL and Stations columns values, based on input values x (x-axis value from the grid), y (y-axis value form the grid) respectively. The third input argument mode, is for doing the approximate search in XMATCH (1-next largest, -1 next smallest). In case the value exist in the input table, XMATCH returns the same value in both cases.
GET(x,y) has the logic to find the value or if the value doesn't exist to calculate the average. It uses the previous LAMBDA function GETLk. We filter for jph values that match the input values (x,y), but we use an OR condition in the FILTER (+), to select both lower or greater values. If the value exist, returns just one value otherwise two values are returned by FILTER (f). Finally if f is not empty we return the average, otherwise the value we setup as NULL.
HREDUCE: Concatenate the result by columns for a given row of the grid. Check the referred question for more information about it.
I'm trying to compare two columns ("Shows") from different tables and showing which one has the greater number ("Rating") associated with it in another table.
Ignore the operation column above as part of the solution that I'm trying to get, it's just to illustrate for you what I'm trying to compare.
Important note: If the names are duplicated. Compare the matching pair in their corresponding order. (1st with 1st, 2nd with 2nd, 3rd with 3rd etc..) illustrated in the table below:
Thanks
You can try the following in cell F3 for an array solution that spills the entire result at once:
=LET(sA, A3:A6, rA, B3:B6, sB, C3:C6, rB, D3:D6, CNTS, LAMBDA(x,
LET(seq, SEQUENCE(ROWS(x)), MAP(seq, LAMBDA(s,ROWS(FILTER(x,(x=INDEX(x,s))
*(seq<=s))))))), cntsA, CNTS(sA), cntsB, CNTS(sB), eval, MAP(sA, rA, cntsA,
LAMBDA(s,r,c,IF(r > FILTER(rB, (sB=s) * (cntsB=c)), "Table 1", "Table 2"))),
HSTACK(sA, eval))
Here is the output:
Explanation
The main idea is to count repeated show values. We use a user LAMBDA function CNTS, to avoid repetition of the same formula twice. Once we have the counts (cntsA, contsB), we use MAP to iterate over Table 1 elements with the counts and look for specific show and counts to compare with Table 2 columns. The FILTER function will return always a single value (based on sample data). Finally, we prepare the output as expected using HSTACK.
Try-
=IF(INDEX(FILTER($B$3:$B$6,$A$3:$A$6=G3),COUNTIFS($G$3:$G3,G3))>INDEX(FILTER($E$3:$E$6,$D$3:$D$6=G3),COUNTIFS($G$3:$G3,G3)),"Table-1","Table-2")
I have a large amount of reference data in excel, which I am trying to manipulate in a variety of ways. I'm having some problems with the way it is structured and sorting into a more manageable format.
Problem number 1:
I have three columns. Column A contains first a date, and then a designator of high or low. Column B contains times, Column C contains heights.
I would like to sort the data by column B (easy enough) EXCEPT I would like the date headings in Column A preserved. It's almost as though I have 365 tables, each with between 3 and 5 pieces of data - I'm looking to sort the 3 - 5 pieces of data within each date only.
This is what I have currently:
There's no issue with me taking the data and manipulating it some other way first - this is ultimately around me being able to take a batch of data (5x different reference points, each for 365 days) and develop a process to sanitise it and get it displayed in time order, as well as being able to get it into a usable format for problem 2 (I need to adjust some other data points by the sorted data once I have it).
This is what I would like it to look like (I manually went through each of these blocks and sorted them):
It is possible to do it in Excel as follows in cell E2:
=LET(rng, A1:C11, set, FILTER(rng, (INDEX(rng,,1) <>"")),
dates, SCAN("", INDEX(set,,1), LAMBDA(acc, item, IF(ISNUMBER(item), item, acc))),
in, FILTER(HSTACK(dates, set), INDEX(set,,2)<>""), inDates, INDEX(in,,1),
out, REDUCE("", UNIQUE(inDates), LAMBDA(acc, date,
LET(sorted, VSTACK(date, DROP(SORT(FILTER(in, inDates = date),3),,1), {"","",""}),
VSTACK(acc, sorted)
))), IFERROR(DROP(DROP(out,1),-1),"")
)
Here is the output:
You can avoid the clean-up process except for removing the last row as follow:
=LET(rng, A1:C11, set, FILTER(rng, (INDEX(rng,,1) <>"")),
dates, SCAN("", INDEX(set,,1), LAMBDA(acc, item, IF(ISNUMBER(item), item, acc))),
in, FILTER(HSTACK(dates, set), INDEX(set,,2)<>""), inDates, INDEX(in,,1),
out, REDUCE("", UNIQUE(inDates), LAMBDA(acc, date,
LET(sorted, VSTACK(HSTACK(date,"",""), DROP(SORT(FILTER(in, inDates = date),3),,1),
{"","",""}), IF(MAX(LEN(acc))=0, sorted, VSTACK(acc, sorted))
))), DROP(out, -1)
)
Explanation
Basically is to carry out the manual steps but using excel functions. The name set, is the same as the input data (rng) but we removed the empty rows. The name dates, is a column with the same size as rng, repeating all the dates. The condition in the SCAN function to identify a new date is ISNUMBER because dates are stored in Excel as whole numbers. The name in has the data in the format we want for doing the sorting and filter by date removing the date header and adding as the first column the dates.
Now we use DROP/REDUCE/VSTACK pattern (check the answer to the question: how to transform a table in Excel from vertical to horizontal but with different length provided by David Leal) to append each sorted data for a given unique date. We add the date as the first row, then sorted data, and finally an empty row to separate each group of data. Finally, we do a clean-up via IFERROR/DROP to remove the #N/A values and the first and the last empty row.
I am currently trying to check if a number in a comma-separated string is within a number interval. What I am trying to do is to check if an area code (from the comma-separated string) is within the interval of an area.
The data:
AREAS
Area interval
Name
Number of locations
1000-1499
Area 1
?
1500-1799
Area 2
?
1800-1999
Area 3
?
GEOLOCATIONS
Name
Areas List
Location A
1200, 1400
Location B
1020, 1720
Location C
1700, 1920
Location D
1940, 1950, 1730
The result I want here is the number of unique locations in the "Areas list" within the area interval. So Location D should only count ONCE in the 1800-1999 "area", and the Location A the same in the 1000-1499 location. But location B should count as one in both 1000-1499 and one in 1500-1799 (because a number from each interval is in the comma-separated string in "Areas list"):
Area interval
Name
Number of locations
1000-1499
Area 1
2
1500-1799
Area 2
3
1800-1999
Area 3
2
How is this possible?
I have tried with a COUNTIFS, but it doesnt seem to do the job.
Here is one option using FILTERXML():
Formula in C2:
=SUM(FILTERXML("<x><t>"&TEXTJOIN("</s></t><t>",,"1<s>"&SUBSTITUTE(B$7:B$10,", ","</s><s>"))&"</s></t></x>","//t[count(.//*[.>="&SUBSTITUTE(A2,"-","][.<=")&"])>0]"))
Where:
"<x><t>"&TEXTJOIN("</s></t><t>",,"1<s>"&SUBSTITUTE(B$7:B$10,", ","</s><s>"))&"</s></t></x>" - Is the part where we construct a valid piece of XML. The theory here is that we use three axes here. Each t-node will be named a literal 1 to make sure that once we return them with xpath we can sum the result. The outer x-nodes are there to make sure Excel will handle the inner axes correctly. If you are curious to know how this xml-syntax looks at the end, it's best to step through using the 'Evaluate Formula' function on the Data-tab;
//t[count(.//*[.>="&SUBSTITUTE(A2,"-","][.<=")&"])>0]")) - Basically means that we collect all t-nodes where the count of child s-nodes that are >= to the leftmost number and <= to the rightmost number is larger than zero. For A2 the xpath would look like //t[count(.//*[.>=1000][.<=1499])>0]")) after substitution. In short: //t - Select t-nodes, where count(.//* select all child-nodes where count of nodes that fullfill both requirements [.>=1000][.<=1499] is larger than zero;
Since all t-nodes equal the number 1, the SUM() of these t-nodes equals the amount of unique locations that have at least one area in its Areas List;
Important to note that FILTERXML() will result into an error if no t-nodes could be found. That would mean we need to wrap the FILTERXML() in an IFERROR(...., 0) to counter that and make the SUM() still work correctly.
Or, wrap the above in BYROW():
Formula in C2:
=BYROW(A2:A4,LAMBDA(a,SUM(FILTERXML("<x><t>"&TEXTJOIN("</s></t><t>",,"1<s>"&SUBSTITUTE(B$7:B$10,", ","</s><s>"))&"</s></t></x>","//t[count(.//*[.>="&SUBSTITUTE(a,"-","][.<=")&"])>0]"))))
Using MMULT and TEXTSPLIT:
=LET(rng,TEXTSPLIT(D2,"-"),
tarr,IFERROR(--TRIM(TEXTSPLIT(TEXTJOIN(";",,$B$2:$B$5),",",";")),0),
SUM(--(MMULT((tarr>=--TAKE(rng,,1))*(tarr<=--TAKE(rng,,-1)),SEQUENCE(COLUMNS(tarr),,1,0))>0)))
I am in very distinguished company but will add my version anyway as byrow probably is a slightly different approach
=LET(range,B$2:B$5,
lowerLimit,--#TEXTSPLIT(E2,"-"),
upperLimit,--INDEX(TEXTSPLIT(E2,"-"),2),
counts,BYROW(range,LAMBDA(r,SUM((--TEXTSPLIT(r,",")>=lowerLimit)*(--TEXTSPLIT(r,",")<=upperLimit)))),
SUM(--(counts>0))
)
Here the ugly way to do it, with A LOT of helper columns. But not so complicated 🙂
F4= =TRANSPOSE(FILTERXML("<m><r>"&SUBSTITUTE(B4;",";"</r><r>")&"</r></m>";"//r"))
F11= =TRANSPOSE(FILTERXML("<m><r>"&SUBSTITUTE(A11;"-";"</r><r>")&"</r></m>";"//r"))
F16= =SUM(F18:F21)
F18= =IF(SUM(($F4:$O4>=$F$11)*($F4:$O4<=$G$11))>0;1;"")
G18= =IF(SUM(($F4:$O4>=$F$12)*($F4:$O4<=$G$12))>0;1;"")
H18= =IF(SUM(($F4:$O4>=$F$13)*($F4:$O4<=$G$13))>0;1;"")
I need to be able to search my whole table for a row that matches multiple criteria. We use a program that outputs data in the form of a .csv file. It has rows that separate sets of data, each of these headers don't have any columns that are unique in of them self but if i searched the table for multiple values i should be able to pinpoint each header row. I know i can use Application.WorksheetFunction.Match to return a row on a single criteria but i need to search on two three or four criteria.
In pseudo-code it would be something like this:
Return row number were column A = bill & column B = Woods & column C = some other data
We need to work with arrays:
There are 2 kinds of arrays:
numeric {1,0,1,1,1,0,0,1}
boolean {TRUE,FALSE,TRUE,TRUE,TRUE,FALSE,FALSE,TRUE}
to convert between them we can use:
MATCH function
MATCH(1,{1,0,1,1,1,0,0,1},0) -> will result {TRUE,FALSE,TRUE,TRUE,TRUE,FALSE,FALSE,TRUE}
simple multiplication
{TRUE,FALSE,TRUE,TRUE,TRUE,FALSE,FALSE,TRUE}*{TRUE,FALSE,TRUE,TRUE,TRUE,FALSE,FALSE,TRUE} -> will result {1,0,1,1,1,0,0,1}
you can can check an array in the match function, entering it like in the picture below, be warned that MATCH function WILL TREAT AN ARRAY AS AN "OR" FUNCTION (one match will result in true
ie:
MATCH(1,{1,0,1,1,1,0,0,1},0)=TRUE
, YOU MUST CTR+SHIFT+ENTER !!! FOR IT TO GIVE AN ARRAY BACK!!!
in the example below i show that i want to sum the hours of all the employees except the admin per case
we have 2 options, the long simple way, the complicated fast way:
long simple way
D2=SUMPRODUCT(C2:C9,(A2=A2:A9)*("admin"<>B2:B9)) <<- SUMPRODUCT makes a multiplication
basically A1={2,3,11,3,2,4,5,6}*{0,1,1,0,0,0,0,0} (IT MUST BE A NUMERIC ARRAY TO THE RIGHT IN SUMPRODUCT!!!)
ie: A1=2*0+3*1+11*1+3*0+2*0+4*0+5*0+6*0
this causes a problem because if you drag the cell to autocomplete the rest of the cells, it will edit the lower and higher values of
ie: D9=SUMPRODUCT(C9:C16,(A9=A9:A16)*("admin"<>B9:B16)), which is out of bounds
same as the above if you have a table and want to view the results in a diferent order
the fast complicated way
D3=SUMPRODUCT(INDIRECT("c2:c9"),(A3=INDIRECT("a2:a9"))*("admin"<>INDIRECT("b2:b9")))
it's the same, except that INDIRECT was used on the cells that we want not be modified when autocompleting or table reorderings
be warned that INDIRECT sometimes give VOLATILE ERROR,i recommend not using it on a single cell or using it only once in an array
f* c* i cant post pictures :(
table is:
case emplyee hours totalHoursPerCaseWithoutAdmin
1 admin 2 14
1 him 3 14
1 her 11 14
2 him 3 5
2 her 2 5
3 you 4 10
3 admin 5 10
3 her 6 10
and for the functions to check the arrays, open the insert function button (it looks like and fx) then doubleclick MATCH and then if you enter inside the Lookup_array a value like
A2=A2:A9 for our example it will give {TRUE,TRUE,TRUE,FALSE,FALSE,FALSE,FALSE,FALSE} that is because only the first 3 lines are from case=1
Something like this?
Assuming that you data in in A1:C20
I am looking for "Bill" in A, "Woods" in B and "some other data" in C
Change as applicable
=IF(INDEX(A1:A20,MATCH("Bill",A1:A20,0),1)="Bill",IF(INDEX(B1:B20,MATCH("Woods",B1:B20,0),1)="Woods",IF(INDEX(C1:C20,MATCH("some other data",C1:C20,0),1)="some other data",MATCH("Bill",A1:A20,0),"Not Found")))
SNAPSHOT
I would use this array* formula (for three criteria):
=MATCH(1,((Range1=Criterion1)*(Range2=Criterion2)*(Range3=Criterion3)),0)
