I have a table with name and dept and salary column say A1 to C10...
Now I have to provide a name in col H, Dept in Col G and the Salary column will contain Top value (say if I give 2 in salary column, then it means based on above condition calculate sum of top 2 salary).
I used Large for the condition and Row(indirect("")) for salary but indirect takes the range (1:10) and not the number like 2.
How to achieve this
If you just want top salaries where top number say 2 is entered in a cell then try following formula:
=SUMPRODUCT(LARGE(C2:C11,ROW(INDIRECT("1:"&$E$2))))
Enter top value in Cell E2 as shown below:

I have simple problem, but I've not be able to get an answer from searching. I require a column to calculate the number of the nth occurrence of a value. It's best explained in this picture
I require a method to calculate column B.
I'd be very grateful for any help.
Are you looking to merely provide a count of the distinct entries of column A in column B? Or merely add a formula to come up with the table in your link?
If the latter, then the formula to write in cell B2 is:
=COUNTIF(A$2:A2,A2)
then copy/paste it down column B. Note - if your data is both a Date and Time, but the cell is formatted to only display a date, you may not get the results you want. You'd need to interject a new column with a "floor" calculation to round the date/time value to a date (Excel date times are decimal, with integer part dictating the date, and remaining 0.0 -> 1.0 dictating the time of day)
If you just want to derive a table of the counts of distinct entries in column A, then a pivot table will do this for you - simple add a pivot table to cover the data in column A, then select column A into the rows category, and then also drag it into the values category, ensuring the field is set to "Count of". You should then have a table with the distinct entries in your data set in one column, and the count of their occurrences in the other column.
You can use the COUNTIF worksheet function, with a relative address.
Eg. In cell B2, enter this formula:
=COUNTIF(A$2:A2,A2)
And then fill-down.
Use the following formula to generate the required series:
=COUNTIF($A$1:A1,A1) and strech(copy) it in all the cells
This will generate result like this:
A 1 COUNTIF($A$1:A1,A1)
A 2 COUNTIF($A$1:A2,A2)
C 1 COUNTIF($A$1:A3,A3)
C 2 COUNTIF($A$1:A4,A4)
B 1 COUNTIF($A$1:A5,A5)
B 2 COUNTIF($A$1:A6,A6)
A 3 COUNTIF($A$1:A7,A7)
C 3 COUNTIF($A$1:A8,A8)
D 1 COUNTIF($A$1:A9,A9)
D 2 COUNTIF($A$1:A10,A10)
D 3 COUNTIF($A$1:A11,A11)
D 4 COUNTIF($A$1:A12,A12)
Ok I have 2 excel columns
1st column A "Workstream", is a data list with three numbers as a dropdown. 1,2,3
2nd column B "ID", would like to auto-populate based on the selection made from the left adjacent cell + perform a lookup to get the MAX number in the current column and ADD by 1.
For Example:
Workstream
ID
1
W1-001
1
W1-002
1
W1-003
1
W1-004
2
W1-001
1
W1-005
2
W1-002
So when a user selects from the drop-down in column A then Column B auto-populates with something like this
="W"&A:1&"-"
However, in order to complete the value, it needs to do the following:
="W"&A:1&"-" Search for the Max Record in Column B that starts with 1 or whatever value was entered into Column A, then include the next number based on the MAX value selected in Column A
So in the above example, let's say I Enter "2" in column A, then the value that auto-populates in column B would be
| 2 | W2-003
or if I selected 1 from column A given where we left off then the value that would auto-populate in column B would be:
| 1 | W1-006
If I am understanding correctly and you want the format to be "W" followed by number of the workstream (as inferred from the text of your question) try:
="W"&A2&"-"&TEXT(COUNTIF(A$2:A2, B2), "000")
If instead you want the output exactly as shown in the picture you provided, it's even easier:
="W1-"&TEXT(COUNTIF(A$2:A2, B2), "000")
EDIT: You might consider pre-dragging the formula to all the rows that you think have the possibility of being impacted so that you don't have to drag the formula each time you add a row. In that case, try:
=IF(A2="","", "W"&A2&"-"&TEXT(COUNTIF(A$2:A2, B2), "000"))
I am currently using the following subtotal SUBTOTAL(9,b:b) to cat a total on my filtered data.
Column A contains a year of either 16,17,18 or 19.
I would like to only count the subtotal if column A contains 16 so
=if(a:a = 16, SUBTOTAL(9,b:b) or something simular
We can "fake" the SUBTOTAL() function. Say we have data like:
and we want to filter the data and only add values in column B that correspond to 16 in column A. In C2 enter:
=SUBTOTAL(3,$B2:$B2)
and copy downward. Then filter column B for positive only:
The cool thing about column C is that it is 1 if the row is visible and 0 if the row is hidden. Therefore:
=SUMPRODUCT((B2:B20)*(C2:C20))
will yield the same result as =subtotal(9,b:b) and:
=SUMPRODUCT((A2:A20=16)*(B2:B20)*(C2:C20))
will apply the column A restriction.
I have simple problem, but I've not be able to get an answer from searching. I require a column to calculate the number of the nth occurrence of a value. It's best explained in this picture
I require a method to calculate column B.

I have two Tables, Table 1 Column A is a rolling date column. Table 2 consists of four columns of differing "Trigger Dates". Table 2, Column 1 contains an Annual trigger, ie occurs once a year. Table 2 Column 2 contains Bi-Annual Triggers, and occurs twice yearly. Table 2 Column 3 contains Monthly Triggers, "12 dates" and Table 2 Column 4 contains Weekly Triggers, "52 dates".
Ok, so what I'm looking for is to a formula that will return the date trigger, where Table 1 Column 1 matches a condition (Annually, Bi-Annually, Monthly, Weekly) selected in a cell "we'll say F1, outside of any ranges that may be created.
Example: If Table 1 Col 2 = "01/02/2013" and I select "Weekly" in F1, the formula will look in the weekly Column in Table 2 to determine if "01/02/2013" exists.
I've allocated a named range to each column in Table 2
I've allocated a named range to the condition in F1 which is a drop down list
Any suggestions?
You might try:
=IFERROR(VLOOKUP(B2,INDIRECT(CHAR(72+MATCH(F$1,$I$1:$L$1,0))&":"&CHAR(72+MATCH(F$1,$I$1:$L$1,0))),1,0),"")
Ok, so supposing your Range Name is in F1, your formula to find the match would look as follows:
=If(IsError(Match(LookupVal,Indirect(F1),0)),"No Match", "Match")
...Something along those lines
Hope this helps point you in the right direction.
INDIRECT and VLOOKUP will be your friends here.
I constructed Table2 just as you had described, with the Annual,Bi-annual,Monthly,Weekly labels for the columns in the table - this will avoid having to keep named ranges up to date, as it's looking directly at the table in the formula
For the function, I then used VLOOKUP to find the date, in the column referenced by F1.
Column Reference: INDIRECT("Table2["&$F$1&"]")
Find Value: VLOOKUP([#Col2],INDIRECT("Table2["&$F$1&"]"),1,FALSE) (looking at column 1 in the return values, as I don't really care what value is returned.
This will return the date if found, and an error if not. I can then wrap the result in the IF(ISERROR( so I can return Yes or No if the date is found.
This produces the entire formula of
=IF(ISERROR(VLOOKUP([#Col2],INDIRECT("Table2["&$F$1&"]"),1,FALSE)),"No","Yes")
for the next column in Table1, so that when I change the value in F1, it will look for that column name in Table2, and let me know if it is found.
