I have a datasheet like
... | dests | ...
----------------------
... | a, b, c | ...
... | a, b | ...
... | a | ...
... | a, d | ...
... | b | ...
and I want to convert it to the form
... | a | b | c | d |
-----------------------------------------
... | X | X | X | |
... | X | X | | |
... | X | | | |
... | X | | | X |
... | | X | | |
or have a filter like
dests
a
b
c
d
which I can use to select combinations of the possible dests.
Is this possible? How would I do it?
You can do something like this:
=IF(ISNUMBER(SEARCH(C$1,$A1)),"X","")

I am trying to use the cubset function to get a set of 2 columns. The data table is something like bellow:
TABLE
+--------+-------+-------+
| CLIENT | PRODA | PRODB |
+--------+-------+-------+
| 1 | A | X |
| 1 | A | Y |
| 1 | B | X |
| 2 | A | Y |
| 2 | B | X |
| 2 | C | Y |
+--------+-------+-------+
The code I running returns only 1 column set
=CUBSET("ThisWorkbookDataModel";"[TABLE].[CLIENT].&[1]*[TABLE].[PRODA].children";"result set")
The code I am trying to perform, I need to return both related columns PROD AND PRODB
=CUBSET("ThisWorkbookDataModel";"[TABLE].[CLIENT].&[1]*[TABLE].[PRODA].[PRODB].children";"result set")
result set
+-------+-------+
| PRODA | PRODB |
+-------+-------+
| A | X |
| A | Y |
| B | X |
+-------+-------+
So what is the correct way to write the code to retrieve both related columns ?
Appreciate any help
In order to enrich my stream data, I join it with a static dataset.
Actually, I join my input dataset twice with the same dataset to add informations about seller and buyer.
input:
+-----------+------+-----+------+
|transaction|seller|buyer|amount|
+-----------+------+-----+------+
| 1 | A | D | 100 |
| 2 | B | A | 10 |
| 3 | C | A | 20 |
+-----------+------+-----+------+
static dataset:
+------+-------+
|person|address|
+------+-------+
| A | #A |
| B | #B |
| C | #C |
| D | #D |
+------+-------+
Code:
iputDF.join(staticDS, iputDF("seller") <=> staticDS("person"))
.join(staticDS, iputDF("buyer") <=> staticDS("person"))
output:
+-----------+------+-------+-----+------+------+
|transaction|seller|#seller|buyer|#buyer|amount|
+-----------+------+-------+-----+------+------+
| 1 | A | #A | D | #D | 100 |
| 2 | B | #B | A | #A | 10 |
| 3 | C | #C | A | #A | 20 |
+-----------+------+-------+-----+------+------+
Is there an optimal solution to do this?
In Excel, I have two columns of data that I wish to combine.
Current set of data:
+---------+---------+
| column1 | column2 |
+---------+---------+
| a | 1 |
| b | 2 |
| c | 3 |
| d | 4 |
| | 5 |
| | 6 |
| | 7 |
+---------+---------+
For each value in column1, I need to assign all of the values in column2 so it looks like this:
+---------+---------+
| column1 | column2 |
+---------+---------+
| a | 1 |
| a | 2 |
| a | 3 |
| a | 4 |
| a | 5 |
| a | 6 |
| a | 7 |
+---------+---------+
| b | 1 |
| b | 2 |
| b | 3 |
| b | 4 |
| b | 5 |
| b | 6 |
| b | 7 |
+---------+---------+
| c | 1 |
| c | 2 |
| c | 3 |
| c | 4 |
| c | 5 |
| c | 6 |
| c | 7 |
+---------+---------+
| d | 1 |
| d | 2 |
| d | 3 |
| d | 4 |
| d | 5 |
| d | 6 |
| d | 7 |
+---------+---------+
How can I do this?
Do I need to find a macro/VB solution?
Since seems unlikely to receive any other answer:
in A1: a
in B1: =MOD(ROW()-1,7)+1
in A2: =IF(MOD(ROW()-1,7)>0,CHAR(CODE(A1)),CHAR(CODE(A1)+1))
Copy both formulae down to suit.
I have 2 worksheets with similar table structures which looks like this:
| ID | A | B | C |
+--------+-------+-------+-------+
| 1 | x | x | x |
| 4 | x | x | x |
| 12 | x | x | x |
| 3 | x | x | x |
| |
| ... (thousands of rows)
where x are values. Is it possible to create a new table (or worksheet) combining the two worksheets only where the ID from Worksheet1 is the same (similar to a SQL query) so that the resulting table will be like:
| ID | A | B | C | D | E | F |
+--------+-------+-------+-------+-------+-------+-------+
| 1 | x | x | x | x | x | x |
| 4 | x | x | x | x | x | x |
| 12 | x | x | x | x | x | x |
| 3 | x | x | x | x | x | x |
| |
| etc...
Note that the contents of Worksheet1 is added to and not subtracted from. Is VBA necessary or can it be done with a formula? Thank you.
You can use vlookup to solve this.
vlookup searches for id in sheet2 and returns corresponding value in your specified column number of the selected table.
I have a set of spreadsheets which define a set of business rules. These business rules are then processed by our system.
The users that create the spreadsheets do so naively and I have found that by factoring the data across rows - and thus reducing the number of rules - greatly improves performance of the system.
One of the "naively" structured spreadsheets might look like this:
+-----------+------------+------------+------------+------------+--------+
| Rule Name | Criteron 1 | Criteron 2 | Criteron 3 | Criteron 4 | Accept |
+-----------+------------+------------+------------+------------+--------+
| Rule 1 | A | B | C | | Yes |
| Rule 2 | A | C | C | | Yes |
| Rule 3 | A | D | C | | Yes |
| Rule 4 | A | E | C | | Yes |
| Rule 5 | A | F | C | | Yes |
| Rule 6 | A | B | D | | Yes |
| Rule 7 | A | C | D | | Yes |
| Rule 8 | A | D | D | | Yes |
| Rule 9 | A | E | D | | Yes |
| Rule 10 | A | F | D | | Yes |
| Rule 11 | A | B | E | | Yes |
| Rule 12 | A | C | E | | Yes |
| Rule 13 | A | D | E | | Yes |
| Rule 14 | A | E | E | | Yes |
| Rule 15 | A | F | E | | Yes |
| Rule 16 | | | | G | Yes |
| Rule 17 | | | | H | Yes |
| Rule 18 | | | | I | Yes |
| Rule 19 | | | | J | Yes |
| Rule 20 | | | | K | Yes |
| Rule 21 | | | | L | Yes |
| Rule 22 | | | | M | Yes |
| Rule 23 | | | | N | No |
| Rule 24 | | | | O | No |
| Rule 25 | | | | P | No |
| Rule 26 | | | | Q | No |
| Rule 27 | | | | R | No |
| Rule 28 | | | | S | No |
| Rule 29 | A | J | F | | No |
| Rule 30 | A | K | F | | No |
+-----------+------------+------------+------------+------------+--------+
As an example, Rule 1 would be evaluated as:
IF (Criterion 1 == A) AND (Criterion 2 == B) AND (Criterion 3 == C) THEN Accept
Using a bit of thought and assuming we can use OR conditionals in our columns, the above can be reduced to:
+-----------+------------+------------+------------+-------------+--------+
| Rule Name | Criteron 1 | Criteron 2 | Criteron 3 | Criteron 4 | Accept |
+-----------+------------+------------+------------+-------------+--------+
| Rule 1 | A | B,C,D,E,F | C,D,E | | Yes |
| Rule 2 | | | |G,H,I,J,K,L,M| Yes |
| Rule 3 | | | |N,O,P,Q,R,S | No |
| Rule 4 | A | J,K | F | | No |
+-----------+------------+------------+------------+-------------+--------+
Rule 1 is now evaluated as follows:
IF (Criterion 1 == A) AND
(Criterion 2 == B OR Criterion 2 == C OR...) AND
(Criterion 3 == C OR Criterion 3 == D OR...) THEN Accept
Now, I've done this manually. What I want to know is: does Excel have in-built functionality to do this kind of grouping for me. If not, can anyone point me in the direction of an algorithm which will help me implement this efficiently?
this looks like a situation where you could query the table using ADO and OLE DB into an ADO Recordset using GROUP BY HAVING in the SQL Query, then dump the (grouped) results into your new sheet using CopyFromRecordset
Alternatively, perhaps a Pivot Table?
