Excel Example Image
Hi there! My problem is a little hard to describe so I hope the title isn't misleading.
As you can see in the image, there is a column of different 2-letter-strings with associated values in another column next to them. On the right there is another table with all the strings and a column next to it where I want Excel to sum all the values that are associated with that particular string.
So Excel has to basically scan trough the string column on the very left and check for "GE" for example. If it is successful in finding it, it has to refer to the cell in the same row that references the value and then add this value into the cell where it sums all the "GE" values.
I tried some different things already but I wasn't able to find a solution. I hope you can help me! :)
You'll have to use the SUMIF function. Enter it in every cell of column G where you want to see the result. As an example, G3 cell should be:=SUMIF(B3:B12,"GE", D3:D12)EDIT: You could also pick the value from F column to avoid typos in the function, so you can also do it like:=SUMIF(B3:B12,F3, D3:D12)

Im trying to count the duplicated values between the 2 row so im using the formula as you can see it in the image =SUM(COUNTIFS(E4:S4,{"1","2","3"}))
so I have to write the numbers so I dont want write the numbers I want select the cells instead, any formula would do that? I already searched and tried many things but nothing seem to work
Put those values in cells - and refer to those cells as condition.
Next level: insert those values in a table, that you eg. call FilterBy and the column values
Then you can us this formula:
=SUM(COUNTIFS(E4:S4,filterBy[Values]))
Hat I don't understand: why are you using SUM - like this, it doesn't make sense, as COUNTIFS returns one value.
If you want to some all filtered values then you need this formula:
=SUM(SUMIFS(E4:S4,E4:S4,filterBy[Values]))
I'm trying to count the number of distinct text from a specific date in a data table.
Data Sample with expect result :
I was able to figure out how to count the distinct element from a range I specify, because I can determine the first and last row containing the date.
=SUMPRODUCT(1/COUNTIF(B2:B15,B2:B15))
I have tried to modify my formula so that it determines the cell range by itself but without success.
I searched for an answer, using a combination of CELL and MAXIFS, example below, but Excel does not accept the formula.
=CELL("row",MAXIFS(A2:A15,A2:a15,D2))
I've looked at the INDEX formula, but I can't figure out how to do what I want to do. 😑
Any idea what I'm doing wrong, or what I should be doing instead?
Thanks, I appreciate it!
If you have Office 365 and the new Dynamic Arrays, this sort of formula has become ridiculously easy.
This formula in cell E3:
=COUNTA(UNIQUE(FILTER($B$2:$B$15,$A$2:$A$15=D3)))
Copy down.
You can also generate the unique list of dates with this formula in D3, which spills down automatically and does not need to be copied.
=UNIQUE(A2:A15)
It wasn't easy, but by separating each step of the problem, I was able to solve it.
Note that my solution only works because my dates are sorted.
Here's the final formula in the cell "One formula to rule them all":
=SUMPRODUCT(1/COUNTIF(INDIRECT(CONCATENATE(ADDRESS((MATCH(D3,$A$2:$A$15,0)+1),2),":",ADDRESS(MAX(($A$2:$A$15=D3)*ROW($A$2:$A$15)),2))),INDIRECT(CONCATENATE(ADDRESS((MATCH(D3,$A$2:$A$15,0)+1),2),":",ADDRESS(MAX(($A$2:$A$15=D3)*ROW($A$2:$A$15)),2)))))
Here are my explanations of my process:
Formula if I select the range :
=SUMPRODUCT(1/COUNTIF(B2:B15,B2:B15))
Formula to get the first iteration
=ADDRESS((MATCH(D3,$A$2:$A$15,0)+1),2)
Formula to get the last iteration
{=ADDRESS(MAX(($A$2:$A$15=D3)*ROW($A$2:$A$15)),2)}
Create range from two addresses
=INDIRECT(CONCATENATE(F3,":",G3))
Formula giving me the expect result
=SUMPRODUCT(1/COUNTIF(INDIRECT(CONCATENATE(F3,":",G3)),INDIRECT(CONCATENATE(F3,":",G3))))
I used this VLookup formula to retrieve value from another sheet Sheet2 which contains a table with two columns NumEchelon, Indice:
=RECHERCHEV("1/1";Sheet2[NumEchelon];Sheet2[Indice];faux)
But it doesn't return any value, when i click on the cell i found just the formula not the value i want to retrieve from the sheet Sheet2.
Looks like you are using french version of Excel, so I will leave it up to you to find the translated commands. The basic problem from what I am gathering is you are looking up "1/1" in the named range NumEchelon. I am going to guess that this named range is 1 column wide. sheet2[Indice] is a separate chunk of data.
Vloopkup is supposed to search for a specified term in a table (usually 2 or more columns wide located to the right of the search column) and return a value in the same row as the found value in a specified column. The columns are numbered left to right with the first column being zero. The false or FAUX at the end tells it you want an exact match.
So without seeing your data I would say make sure that NumEchelon covers both columns of information, and INDICE column is to the right of NumEchelon. Where you have Sheet2 Indice replace with with a numeric value for the column its from the table you made for the vlookup.
So Assuming NumEchelon is A1:A8 and Indice is B1:B8 I would do the following:
Use a new named range "MonTableaux" and define it as sheet2!A1:B8
=VLOOKUP("1/1",MonTableaux,2,0)
Without the named range it would look like
=VLOOKUP("1/1",sheet2!$A$1:$B$8,2,0)
'note the 0 is the same as false
Now you may be using TABLES and I am not all that familiar with table so there may be short cuts. If that is the case someone point it out to me and I will delete my answer.
If your information you want to return in not lined up vertically with the information you are searching for or if the information you want to return is located to the left of what you are searching for you will want to use a combination of INDEX and MATCH. maybe something like this:
=INDEX(sheet2[Indice],match("1/1",sheet2[NumEchelon],0))
If the formula is showing up in the cell, and not a result like #N/A then the cell is likely formatted as Text, change it to General and click in the formula bar and hit enter again to show the formula result instead of the formula text.
This is probably very easy for experienced user of excel, but I couldn't find a way to do this, so I asking this question.
I have particular range of cells, let's say E5:M5, only one cell of this range will contain 1, other will contain 0. I want to reference, first cell of that column (which contains label). I want to do this by using a formula in another cell. In the end, that another cell should have label name as its value.
I wanted to post image elaborating what I want, but it seems I can't do that.
Anyway, can anyone tell me how this can be done?
I'm going to assume you want to use a formula rather than VBA as it is not recommended for inexperienced Excel users to use VBA. Use this formula to determine the first column out of your set, which has "1" as a value:
=match(1,E5:M5,0)
If by 'label name' you mean you have a header or something (let's assume in row 4), you can use the index function to pull the value from the mirror set of rows above the match function, like so:
=index(E4:M4,match(1,E5:M5,0))
i have some data on excel and i have on column H a list of solutions and on column G a target box that moves from 0 to 100, and i already have a code to generate the solutions in column H , but i want a code to check the target value on column G and checks column H for the nearest solution number and then puts the answer on column I and highlights it.
thank you very much for your time and effort.
You could do without macro, using a service column, say J, and conditional formatting:
on column I place the formula =MAX(J$1:J$100)-J1 and copy/fill till row 100
similarly fill service column J with formula =ABS(G1-H1)
use conditional formatting in column I to highlight where value=0
You probably will need other function names, because spreadsheets use localized interfaces. For instance, for my test I used LibreOffice in Italian...

I am assuming that the 'solutions' are positive numbers. If these solutions are arranged in ascending order, then you can use the following formula. If not, one solution can be to use a helper column to sort the values in ascending order.
Let your list of solutions in column H be from H1:H100, and your target box is in cell G1.
Then you can copy the following formula to the cell you want.
=IF(MAX(H1:H100)<=G1,MAX(H1:H100),IF(INDEX(H1:H100,1+MATCH(G1,H1:H100))-G1>G1-INDEX(H1:H100,MATCH(G1,H1:H100)),INDEX(H1:H100,MATCH(G1,H1:H100)),INDEX(H1:H100,1+MATCH(G1,H1:H100))))
Replace H1:H100 everywhere in the above formula, with the range in which solutions are present in ascending order. Also, replace G1 everywhere with the address of the cell with the target value.
If solutions are not in an ascending order, then you can use a helper column. You use one extra column for sorting the solutions into an ascending order. If your solutions are present in H1:H10, then in cell I1, you can enter the following formula.
=IF(ISERROR(SMALL($H$1:$H$100,ROW()-ROW($I$1)+1)),"",SMALL($H$1:$H$100,ROW()-ROW($I$1)+1))
Replace $H$1:$H$100 in the formula with the range in which solutions are present. Also, replace $I$1 with the cell address of the same cell where you are copying this formula. Here, since I am copying this formula into I1, I have used $I$1.
Now copy this formula down till where you have the solutions, e.g. for this example, you will copy it down upto I100 since your solutions are from H1:H100.
Now in the previous formula, replace H1:H100 with I1:I100, as this new list is sorted in an ascending order.
If this is not what you are looking for, maybe you could give me some more details, as your question is not very clear. Hope this helps.
P.S. : You can add the highlighting later, if you get the value that you require.
