I have two list in excel that need to be tied together so that when an item in the first is selected from a drop down (C2) it changes the cell next to it (D2) to the corresponding value.
You can use Vlookup for that. In cell D2 enter this formula:
=vlookup(C2,List!$A$1:$B:$31,2,false)

I would like to compare two columns in Excel and get the list of elements that are present in the first column, but not the second one. The same elements are not in the same rows. My table looks like this:
The expected output would be records "aadapa" and "acaso", since these are only two elements not present in the second column. "aklepac" and "apniewsk" are in the second column only, so shouldn't be outputed.
I would appreciate any help with this case.
If your columns are Column A & Column B, you can enter the following formula in Cell C1:
=IF(COUNTIF(B:B,A1)=0,A1,"")
The drag it to fill down and whatever doesn't appear in the second column will be listed in this column.
With the new Dynamic Array formulas(Currently only available to Office 365 Insiders) simply filter column A with countif:
=FILTER(A1:A4,COUNTIFS(B1:B4,A1:A4)=0)
Put that in the first cell and Excel will spill the rest down.
With Current versions we can use INDEX/AGGREGATE:
=IFERROR(INDEX(A:A,AGGREGATE(15,7,ROW($A$1:$A$4)/(COUNTIFS($B$1:$B$4,$A$1:$A$4)=0),ROW(1:1))),"")
But this requires that the formula be placed in the first cell and copied down till blanks appear.
Here is my formula:
{=MAX(ROW($1:$120)*(Table1[results1518]=1))}
so far I have done 1518 cells manually as indicated by the results#.
I have about 2000 more cells to go. The table is on one sheet and this formula in each cell on another.
I need to find a way to increment the results# from one cell down to the next cell below it and so on down the column on the second sheet.
I would make a helper column that listed all the result# you needed to cycle through. You can either use excel's auto fill ability or just add 1 to the value of cell in the row above. For example, A3=A2+1.
Next create a second helper column that returned a text value embeding that number. B2 would look something like this ="Table1[results"&A2&"]"
Finally, you can use Excel's indriect formula looks up the value specified by the second helper column. {=MAX(ROW($1:$120)*(INDIRECT(B2)=1))}
There are probabally more effecient methoods, but without knowing more about your setup, this is what I've got.
So, I got an excel with two sheets: Sheet1 and Sheet2, in which I transfer data from the first to the second using the formula: =IF(INT(+INDIRECT("Sheet1!A1"))< 42900,0,+INDIRECT("Sheet2!A1")) (the cells are custom format dd/mm/yyyy hh/mm/ss). In Sheet1, the cells are organized in groups made out of 6 columns (in this example, A being the first column within the group).
In Sheet2, when I drag the cell containing said formula to the cell on the right, the formula remains the same. I want so that when I drag the cell, A1 will become G1, basically incrementing the column "number" by 6 jumping to the next group of 6 columns.
Is there a way of doing this WITHOUT using any coding. I need to avoid coding at all costs in order to avoid further complications.
P.S. I apologize if my explanation and title are somewhat vague.
Enter below formula anywhere in Column 1 and drag/copy across (to right)
=IF(INT(INDIRECT("Sheet1!" & ADDRESS(1,FLOOR((COLUMN()-1)*6,1)+1)))< 42900,0,INDIRECT("Sheet1!" & ADDRESS(1,FLOOR((COLUMN()-1)*6,1)+1)))
This formula will refer to cells $A$1,$G$1,$M$1,$S$1,.....
If you have to use this formula in say Column B then change (COLUMN()-1) to (COLUMN()-2) and likewise for Column C,D,E,.... use (COLUMN()-3),(COLUMN()-4),(COLUMN()-5),.... respectively.
I am trying to make a cell display the result of a VLOOKUP but allow the user to change the cells value to something from a dropdown list if they choose to.
I don't want the formula to be visible to the user.
The problem I'm having is when the user picks a different value from the list the formula is erased. When the criteria for the formula changes I want it to update to the new result.
I'm using Excel 2010. Any help is appreciated!
We can use an extra cell or two. In A3 we put a number and in A2 we can enter from a drop-down list. In A1 we have:
=IF(A2<>"",A2,VLOOKUP(A3,C1:D13,2,FALSE))
So if A2 is blank, we use the VLOOKUP(). If A2 has a value, we use that value.
I have the formula below that I'm using to link to a certain sheet and cell in my workbook that contains a graph for each entry. On the sheet I link too, each graph is about 20 cells down from the previous one. I have over a 100 graphs now and it will grow in time so I was trying to use the HYPERLINK formula rather than the Hyperlink button for this. I thought I would be able to just insert the formula in the first row, paste it in the second row with an added 20 cells, highlight the two and drag it down but it will not count in increments of 20.
Is this even possible?
=HYPERLINK("#'Trends'!A25","Click To View Trend")
I'm thinking you will have to use some type of concatenation to get the behavior you are after. To do this, you may want to employ a "helper" column. For example, put the "numbers" you are after in column B -- below you will see that I incremented it by 5.
Now your HYPERLINK formula in cell A1 is written as:
=HYPERLINK("[Book1]Sheet2!A"& B1,"Click Me for Sheet2, Cell A"&B1)
(Assuming the workbook is called Book1. Now, I can drag that formula down and it will update "dynamically" to account for the changes in column B.
