The issue is sorting an array that is generated automatically from an data source using a formula that extracts unique data points. (Data points are date/time)
The data is being extracted with this fomula.
=INDEX(Table_ExternalData_1[SampleDateTime],MATCH(0,INDEX(COUNTIF($G$2:G2,Table_ExternalData_1[SampleDateTime]),0,0),0))
Once extracted, the data is not sorted right away. The current data is extracted from a database via an SQL string that pulls in data corresponding to the data and time that the data point was created.
Because of this, the extracted points are not in the correct order. I am attempting to sort the extracted data points from earliest to latest to continue with the data sorting, but need the date/times to be sorted in a separate row.
I have attempted to use a pivot table, but it isn't exactly what I need and ends up being a messier end product than I need.
All assistance is appreciated.
Example is below.

I did end up finding a solution that I will be able to modify. Using a single row of a pivot table, I took just the date/time column and had the PivotTable function sort the data to be utilized as necessary.
Thank you.
The fact that the range in the example you give:
1) Consists of entries of a numeric datatype only
2) Does not contain any blanks
means that the solution is relatively simple.
Assuming that data is in A1:A11, first use a single cell somewhere within the worksheet to count the number of expected returns. For example, using B1 for this purpose, enter this formula in that cell:
=SUM(IF(FREQUENCY(A1:A11,A1:A11),1))
Your main formula is then:
=IF(ROWS($1:1)>B$1,"",SMALL(IF(FREQUENCY(A$1:A$11,A$1:A$11),A$1:A$11),ROWS($1:1)))
the latter being copied down until you start to get blanks for the results.

this is the another version of my first question and I hope I can best explain my problem this time.
From the Table 1, I want to auto populate Table 2 based on this conditions and criteria (below)
From the example, I basically have 3 initial criteria, ON CALL, AVAILABLE, and BREAK
Now for the conditions, I want all Agents from status ON CALL, AVAILABLE, BREAK from Table 1 to be populated on Table 2 (optional: If possible, I wanted only to show agents that HAS a duration of 4 minutes and above from each status). My problem is I always refresh TABLE 1 so I can get an updated data. My goal here is to monitor our agents their current Status and Running Duration, and from that I only need to check on the table 2 so I would see right away who has the highest running duration from each status to be called out.
I only tried MAXIFS function but my problem with it, I can only show 1 result from each status.
What I wanted is to fully populate Table 2 from the data on Table 1. If this is possible with ROW function that would be great, because what I really wanted is a clean Table, and it should only load data if the criteria is met.
Thank you
Something you may be interested in doing is utilizing HSTACK. I am not sure how you are currently obtaining the Agents name in the adjacent column to the results but this would populate both the Agent along with the Duration.
=HSTACK(INDEX(A:C,MATCH(SORT(FILTER(C:C,(C:C>=TIMEVALUE("00:04:00"))*(B:B=H2),""),1,1),C:C,0),1),TEXT(SORT(FILTER(C:C,(C:C>=TIMEVALUE("00:04:00"))*(B:B=H2),""),1,1),"[h]:mm:ss"))
This formula checks Table 1 for any Agent with the status referenced in H2 (Available) that also has a time greater than or equal to 4 mins. It then sorts the results in ascending order and populates the Agent Name that is associated with it. It is dynamic and will produce a table like the following:
Just update the formula to check for "On Call" and "BreaK" as desired for the other two.
UPDATE:
As for conditional formatting, this is utilizing the custom formula posted in the comments. If the formatting of the times are of [h]:mm:ss then you would be looking to do something like this. Notice the 2 cells are highlighted for being between 4 mins and 5 mins.
This is an array solution that spill all the results at once. We use a user LAMBDA function GET to avoid repetition of the same calculation using as input parameter the status (s). The formula works for durations in time format or in text format with a minor modification. On cell E2 put the following formula for durations in time format:
=LET(GET, LAMBDA(s, FILTER(HSTACK(A:A, C:C), (B:B=s)
* IFERROR(C:C >= TIME(0,4,0), FALSE))),
IFERROR(HSTACK(GET("ON CALL"), GET("Available"), GET("Break")),""))
Here is the output:
For durations as text in hh:mm:ss format just replace: C:C >= TIME(0,4,0) with TIMEVALUE(C:C) >= TIME(0,4,0).
The GET function is reused to generate the result for each status. The last IFERROR call is used to remove #N/A values generated by HSTACK when the column doesn't have the maximum number of rows of the output.
The first IFERROR is used to treat the case when the value is not numeric, such has the header. This is because we are using the entire column as input range. Using entire columns produce more concise formulas with less maintenance effort, but it is less efficient, unless you have a good reason to have an open range. If you want to use a specific range instead for the data of the table, then you can remove it and update the ranges accordingly.
I have a series of data (in 2-dimensional list 'CombinedTable') I need to use to populate a table in an MS Word template. The table has 7 columns so I attempted the following using docxtpl module:
context = {
'tpl_modules1': CombinedTable[0]
'tpl_modules2': CombinedTable[2]
'tpl_modules3': CombinedTable[4]
'tpl_modules4': CombinedTable[6]
'tpl_modules5': CombinedTable[8]
'tpl_modules6': CombinedTable[10]
'tpl_modules7': CombinedTable[12]
}
tpl.render(context)
tpl.save(FilePath + FileName)
Not the most elegant solution I know but am just trying to get this working- unfortunately using this code with the following template results in tpl_modules7 data being written in to all columns, rather than just the 7th.
Does anyone have advice for how to resolve this? I attempted to create a for loop through the columns as well as rows but was unsuccessful in writing anything to the doc (was saved as a blank & empty doc).
The CombinedTable variable is a list of 12 lists (one for each column in template, although only 7 contain data). Each of these 12 lists contains another list with cell data whose length is equal to the number of rows to be written to the table in that column. This means that the number of rows that are written to varies for each column.
EDIT: Looking more closely at the docs, it states that I cannot use %tr multiple times in the same row. I assume I will then have to use a loop through %tc and %tr (which I tried & couldn't get working). Any advice on how to implement this? Especially on the side of the word document. Thanks!
I was able to resolve this satisfactorily for my requirements, however my solution may not suit all. I simply set up 7 different tables in a document with 7 columns and adjusted margins/borders to suit the dimensions I required for the tables. Each of the 7 tables had identical docxtpl syntax as image in my question with the small buffer columns between them being replaced by columns in the word document.
I did not see something like this in other questions/ forums so hopefully it can be done.
Need to know if values from one table are in another, checking to see if there is a match.
Table 1 in Sheet 1 is used to record "Incoming" data of Part Number and Lot Number.
Table 2 in Sheet 2 is used to record when record is "Outgoing".
Column A is Part Number, B is Lot number in both Sheets. Part number can repeat, but Lot # will not. Trying to find a way to return a Yes/ No or 1,0 if part number and lot number in Sheet 1 exists in Sheet 2 in Column C of Sheet1. I have attached a Snippet example what I am trying to do. This will help me generate info on if an Incoming record has been completed and left (Outgoing). I do not believe vlookup will work and have tried some different permutations of match. Open for other options. Thanks!!
Edit: Lot # does have to ablity to repeat (not often) but with a different corresponding Part Number. Need to know if there is a match with both Lot# and Part Number as in the Incoming record.
Use:
=--(COUNTIFS(Sheet2!A:A,A2,Sheet2!B:B,B2)>0)
If there are matches it will return 1 if not 0
The solution to this problem has been evading me and admittedly hurting my brain a little bit, so hopefully someone here can lend a hand. Essentially, I have around 10 columns of data. One of these columns contains the identifier I want to use, another column has the date I want to reference, and the rest of the columns are the values I want to use to populate the table. What I'm trying to do is build a tool where you type in the identifier and the date and it tells you what the other columns are for that particular pairing.
The problem is, however, that the data set contains multiple repeated dates (dates are in a column), and sometimes repeated identifiers. So identifier 1 may appear three times on 1/1/2018, then appear three more times on 1/2/2018.
Forgive my inexperience, as this is probably the incorrect way to show this, but this is what I want my data to look like, with the bins being the 1st, 2nd, and so on occurrences of the same identifier on the given date:
Identifier - A1
Date - 1/1/2018
Bin Column1 Column2 Column3 Column4
1 1 2 3 4
2 1 2 3 4
3
4
5
The Identifier and Date would be manual entries and the rest of the table would be automatically populated. I've been looking up different ways of using index(match()) all morning and have yet to achieve any success. I'm not sure if I'm approaching this incorrectly or what, but any help with this problem is greatly appreciated.
PS - I understand that a pivot table would likely give me the information I need, however, this table isn't for my own use, so I'm trying to make it as straightforward as possible (enter two lines, necessary info pops up).
Edit - This is how the data is currently set up:
`
Use this:
=IFERROR(INDEX(C:C,AGGREGATE(15,7,ROW($B$2:INDEX($B:$B,MATCH("zzz",$A:$A)))/(($B$2:INDEX($B:$B,MATCH("zzz",$A:$A))=$J$2)*($A$2:INDEX($A:$A,MATCH("zzz",$A:$A))=$J$1)),ROW(1:1))),"")
Note: realize this is an array formula that is entered normally with Enter, but as an array formula it will slow down the calcs if the dataset is large.
It generally looks like:
=INDEX('range all of the data, not the headers', MATCH('row header value to match','the row headers range',0), MATCH('column header to match','the column headers range',0))
I have a data entry like thisData entries
Now, i need to find the smallest 10 values and also get the corresponding person and area and date along with it.
I used SMALL functoin to find the least 10 values. Then I used the index and match functions for getting their corresponding row entries. The problem is since some data entries are being repetitive, these functions are giving the row of the first 2 for all the remaining 2s. How to solve this
In F2 use Rank like this, so you have unique numbers:
=RANK(C2,$C$2:$C$21,1)+ROW()/1000
in G2 use Small, to pull the smallest of the ranked numbers and copy down 10 rows.
=SMALL($F$2:$F$21,ROW(A1))
Now you can pull person, date, real hours and area with an index match in H2, copied across and down.
=INDEX(A$2:A$21,MATCH($G2,$F$2:$F$21,0))
