How do i manage to get the row number of the next not empty cell in relation to the current cell?
I do not want to use vba!
| A | B |
1 X 3 (expected result)
2
3
4 X 7 (expected result)
5
6
7
8 X
If my formular is located in cell B3, how do i get the row number of the next not empty cell in col A starting from A3?
Try this formula in B1 and copy down:
=IF(A1="","",MATCH(TRUE,INDEX((A2:A$100<>0),0),0)+ROW(A1)-1)
Change A$100 as you need

So I have an example below of what I'm wanting to do.
Basically I need to Index Column B from Sheet 1 into Sheet 2 BUT ONLY if the values in Column W in Sheet 1 are greater than 0. If it's not then I don't want it to be included in. The only column to Index is B starting from row 5 to say 100. Same for Column W.
I was trying to do it myself as I found This which is very similar as what I'm wanting to do but I couldn't figure it out.
Sheet 1
Row# Column B | Column(s)… | Column W
=================================
5) Thing 1 | | 0
6) Thing 2 | | 3
7) Thing 3 | | 0
8) Thing 4 | | 1
Sheet 2
Row# Column B | Column C | Column D
=================================
5) Thing 2 | 3 |
6) Thing 4 | 1 |
7) | |
8) | |
EDIT #3
You can use either SMALL, LARGE function to return the values from Column B on your Sheet1.
Presume you have given the following names:
Sheet1ColB: Sheet1!B5:B100
Sheet1ColW: Sheet1!W5:W100
Here is the formula to be put in Cell B5 on your Sheet2. Please note it is an array formula so you need to press Ctrl+Shift+Enter to confirm.
{=IFERROR(INDEX(Sheet1ColB,SMALL(IF((Sheet1ColW>0)*(LEN(Sheet1ColW)>0),ROW(Sheet1ColW)),ROW()-4)-4),"")}
or
{=IFERROR(INDEX(Sheet1ColB,LARGE(IF((Sheet1ColW>0)*(LEN(Sheet1ColW)>0),ROW(Sheet1ColW)),ROW()-4)-4),"")}
You can then use INDEX+MATCH to return the value from Column W on your Sheet1 in Column C on your Sheet2:
=IFERROR(INDEX(Sheet1ColW,MATCH(B5,Sheet1ColB,0)),"")
In the above screen-shot Solution 2 is using AGGREGATE which follows the same logic as SMALL/LARGE.
As you can see the sample data has taken into account duplicated values in Sheet 1 Col W, blank cells in both Column W and Column B on Sheet1, and blank cells, negative value or 0 value in Column B only on Sheet1.
Cheers :)
Use AGGREGATE() formula to filter based on condition.
=IFERROR(INDEX($A$5:$A$8,AGGREGATE(15,6,(ROW($A$5:$A$8)-ROW($A$4))/($B$5:$B$8>0),ROW(1:1))),"")
F1:N1 with random numbers (can have duplicates).
F2:N2 with sorted numbers.
Need a formula to fill in A1:C1 with values from F2:N2 where F1:N1 has a maximum value.
In the example it should be 1,8,3 from F2:N2 - according to 9,9,8 from F1:N1.
_ A B C D E F G H I J K L M N
1 ? ? ? 9 3 8 1 5 5 3 9 8
2 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9
You can do this with a "helper row" to create a list of unique ranks:
F3: =RANK(F1,$F$1:$N$1)+COUNTIF($F$1:F1,F1)-1
and fill right to N3
Since your values in F2:N2 are sequential {1...8}, you can use this formula:
A1: =MATCH(SMALL($F$3:$N$3,COLUMNS($A:A)),$F$3:$N$3,0)
and fill right to C1
If the values in F2:N2 are random, then you can use this:
A1: =INDEX($F$2:$N$2,1,MATCH(SMALL($F$3:$N$3,COLUMNS($A:A)),$F$3:$N$3,0))
and fill right to C1
Nobody has jumped in to offer a Google Sheets solution so here is one:
=query(transpose(sortn(transpose(F1:N2),3,,1,false,2,true)),"select Col1,Col2,Col3 limit 1 offset 1")
In A1. This is a self-expanding formula so does not need to be filled across and does not need helper rows.
EDIT
'Limit 1' may be omitted in the above formula as mentioned in the comment.
Also this is a little shorter:
=transpose(query(sortn(transpose(F1:N2),3,,1,false,2,true),"Select Col2"))
Formula in A1 = INDEX($F$2:$N$2,MATCH(COLUMN(A1),$F$3:$N$3,0)) and is dragged till C1
Formula in F3 = RANK(F1,$F$1:$N$1)+COUNTIF($F$1:F1,F1)-1 and is dragged till N3
I can't seem to find anything similar that's already been asked (they all relate to incrementing row numbers rather than columns)
I'm looking to drag a formula across horizontally and have the columns increment by 2
E.g. B1-A1, D1-C1, F1-E1...
Thanks!
You'll need to have a value in cell A1 and B1 for the following to work.
For my testing I put the number 1 in A1 and B1.
Try this in Cell C1:
=IF(MOD(COUNT($A$1:B1),2)=0,COLUMN(B1),IF(B1<>A1,B1,A1))
Here's what you should see when you drag that formula across:
A B C D E F G H I J K L M N
1 1 2 2 4 4 6 6 8 8 10 10 12 12
And this is what the formula does:
The MOD(COUNT() part of the formula counts the cells to the left of it, and if they are a multiple of 2, the value changes.
I've left the value to change to (the 'new' value) as the COLUMN() number for the cell before, just for example's sake. but you can change this part.
The last IF statement at the end checks if the cell before is equal to the cell before that, (eg. Is CELL C1 equal to CELL B1) and if they are not equal, it will give the cell before as a value (the 'copy' value).
I have an excel sheet, which value of column A >= B in the same row.
I would like to know given a cell in column B, how could I find out the lowest cell of A which B > A? (It should return a cell address but not the value)
For example, the following shows cells from A1 to B7 in a sheet:
A B
------
1 | 1 1
2 | 3 2
3 | 5 3
4 | 7 4
5 | 9 5
6 | 10 6
7 | 15 10
Now I would like to input B6, then it should return A3 (since 6 > 5)
Another example, if I input B7, then it should return A5 (since 10 > 9)
Is there any approach (or similar approach) by using excel formula? Or should I use other methods?
If your input value is in cell E1, and your return value is in cell E2 (as shown in below image), then you can use this formula in cell E2:
=IF(E1="","",INDEX(A1:A7,MAX(1,MATCH(TRUE,INDEX(A1:A7>=E1,),0)-1)))
Input Cell E1 (enter the address from column B here)
F1: =ADDRESS(LOOKUP(2,1/(INDIRECT(E1)>ColA),ROW(ColA)),1,4)
Given your data, if you enter B6 in E1, A3 will show in F1
I have a spreadsheet with 2 columns of data, column A and B, and column C where I'm looking for the formula.
row A B C
1 50
2
3
4
5 56 6
6
7
8 46 10
9
10
11 64 18
As you can see, a row either contains a value or not. In column C, I'm looking to calculate the difference between
a) the value in column B and the value in column A's first non-empty cell directly above (so for example, at row 5, I calculate the difference between B5 and A1 56 - 50 = 6) if the value of B is a number and
b) the value in column A and the value in column B's first non-empty cell directly above (row 8, 56 - 46 = 10)
and put nothing if neither column A and B are empty.
I've been struggling with "first non-empty cell" to write an R1C1 formula. Note that I know I can do this in VBA but I'm looking for the R1C1 formula.
Thanks for your help.
Here is an array formula (that you need to validate with Ctrl + Shift + Enter) you can put in C1 and drag and drop till the end of your data:
=IF(OR(A1<>"",B1<>""),INDEX($B$1:B1,MAX(IF($B$1:B1="",0,ROW($B$1:B1))))-INDEX($A$1:A1,MAX(IF($A$1:A1="",0,ROW($A$1:A1)))),"")
Or, in a french version of Excel:
=SI(OU(A1<>"";B1<>"");INDEX($B$1:B1;MAX(SI($B$1:B1="";0;LIGNE($B$1:B1))))-INDEX($A$1:A1;MAX(SI($A$1:A1="";0;LIGNE($A$1:A1))));"")
Note that if you feel interested, you can commit into Stackoverflow in french
Perhaps try this formula in C2 copied down
=IF(B2="",IF(A2="","",LOOKUP(9.99E+307,B$1:B1)-A2),B2-LOOKUP(9.99E+307,A$1:A1))
