I have a file with data in the following format:
text value1 value2
Given value 1 and value 2 meet some criteria, find all the unique text values.
The exact data looks like this:
john 10 20
john 15 35
mark 20 10
mark 25 15
tom 25 40
lee 16 50
If val 1 <=25 and value 2 <=35 the number of unique text = 2 (john and mark)
I have to do this using formulas not filters.
I've been trying combinations of frequency, countifs, sumproducts and a whole range of other methods and can't seem to hit what I'm looking for.
Assuming that text, value1, and value2 are in columns A, B, and C respectively ...
In D1, enter the formula =IF(AND(B1<=25,C1<=35),A1,"") and copy it down the column
Use the formula =SUMPRODUCT((D:D<>"")/COUNTIF(D:D,D:D&"")) for your answer
If you want to list the unique values rather than count them, something like this:-
=IFERROR(INDEX(A$2:A$7,MATCH(0,IF((B$2:B$7>25)+(C$2:C$7>35),1,COUNTIF(E$1:E2,A$2:A$7)),0)),"")
entered as an array formula starting in E2 ( and assuming that you are using columns A,B and C for your data.
See this reference for explanation.
The following formula will do what you are asking:
=SUM(IF(FREQUENCY(IF(B2:B7<=25,IF(C2:C7<=35,MATCH(A2:A7,A2:A7,0),""),""),IF(B2:B7<=25,IF(C2:C7<=35,MATCH(A2:A7,A2:A7,0),""),""))>0,1))
This is an array formula so confirm it with Ctrl-Shift-Enter.
I referred to this webpage.
Also found a shorter one:
=SUM(--(FREQUENCY(IF(B2:B7<=25,IF(C2:C7<=35,COUNTIF(A2:A7,"<"&A2:A7),""),""),COUNTIF(A2:A7,"<"&A2:A7))>0))
Found and modified from hre.

=INDEX(C:C,MATCH(A1,B:B,0))
The above formula is being pasted in D1.
I need it to return the C cell that on the same row as the matching A and B fields:
A B C D
77 22 MO91117
88 88 MO91337
99 99 MO12347
22 77 MO91837
Ideally, if I ran the formula in D1, it would return M091837.
Any help would be greatly appreciated!
Answering for completeness. Credit to A.S.H for the answer (in the comments of the question).
Ensure that both columns that you are trying to match are formatted similarly. It looks like the error in this question was that one column was formatted as text, and one column was formatted as a number. As an example the number 4 and the character 4 are represented differently in software, thus not returning expected values when trying to match text and numbers.
Assume I have the following table:
A B C
1 Week 1 Week 2
2 Melissa 114.7 82.8
3 Mike 105.5 122.5
4 Andrew 102.3 87.5
5 Rich 105.3 65.2
The names are in column A, the Week values are in Row 1. (So A1 is blank, B1 = Week 1, and A2 = Melissa.)
I'm trying to build a formula that looks at all the values in a known range (in this example, B2:C5), chooses the highest value of the bunch (here, 122.5) and returns the name of the person from Column A that got that value. If I use this formula, it works for the values in range B2:B5:
=INDEX(A2:A5,MATCH(MAX(B2:B5),B2:B5,0))
That returns Melissa but if I expand the range to include more than just column B's values, I get an #N/A returned:
=INDEX(A2:A5,MATCH(MAX(B2:C5),B2:C5,0))
The weird part (to my simple brain) is that the MATCH portion of the formula works fine, if I just put in this formula, it returns the highest value of 122.5 from C3:
=MAX(B2:C5,B2:C5,0)
So clearly something it going wrong when I'm using either the MATCH or INDEX commands.
Hopefully this makes sense and someone can point out my error?
Try this:
=INDEX(A:A,MAX((B2:C5=MAX(B2:C5))*ROW(B2:C5)))
This is an array formula and must be confirmed with Ctrl+Shift+Enter.
Note: Match can only search one vector at a time. It can be one row or one column or one array. It cannot be two or more rows or columns or a 2D array.
Do it "twice"? Please try:
=INDEX(A2:A5,IFERROR(MATCH(MAX(B2:C5),B2:B5,0),MATCH(MAX(B2:C5),C2:C5,0)))
If you are going to have up to 52/53 weeks to cope with I'd suggest instead inserting a helper column with the MAX for each row. Make that an new (inserted) ColumnA (say =MAX(C2:BC2) etc.) and a simple VLOOKUP should serve, say:
=VLOOKUP(MAX(A:A),A:B,2,0)
I need to collect Sch Code from different columns into one column as shown below.
First priority is by formula or UDF Function if possible.
My Data:
Column A Column B Column C Column D Column E Column F Column G
SCH Code Value SCH Code Value Rating SCH Code Value
C01-3-1 4 C01-4-1 8 300 C02-3-1 8
300 C02-3-5 9
C01-3-2 5 C01-4-2 12 300 C02-3-2 12
C01-3-3 6 C01-4-3 21 300 C02-3-3 21
300 C02-3-6 10
C01-3-4 7 C01-4-4 4 300 C02-3-4 4
Required Result (Only Sch Code required in summary sheet but it is required by formula or VBA UDF function) :
Column A
C01-3-1
C01-3-2
C01-3-3
C01-3-4
C01-4-1
C01-4-2
C01-4-3
C01-4-4
C02-3-1
C02-3-5
C02-3-2
C02-3-3
C02-3-6
C02-3-4
You can collect unique non-blank values from column A with an array formula e.g. =INDEX($A$2:$A$99,MATCH(0, IF(LEN($A$2:$A$99),COUNTIF(I$1:I1,$A$2:$A$99),1),0)). Since this returns #N/A where it has no more values to return from its column, you can pass control over to a similar formula that references another column with IFERROR.
To choose from your three columns of SCH Codes, you would need to stack this 3 deep. The formula in I2 is:
=IF(LEN(I1),IFERROR(INDEX($A$2:$A$99,MATCH(0, IF(LEN($A$2:$A$99),COUNTIF(I$1:I1,$A$2:$A$99),1),0)),IFERROR(INDEX($C$2:$C$99,MATCH(0, IF(LEN($C$2:$C$99),COUNTIF(I$1:I1,$C$2:$C$99),1),0)),IFERROR(INDEX($F$2:$F$99,MATCH(0, IF(LEN($F$2:$F$99),COUNTIF(I$1:I1,$F$2:$F$99),1),0)),""))),"")
This array formula requires Ctrl+Shift+Enter, not just Enter. Once entered correctly, it can be filled down to catch all possible values. I would fill down for at least three times as many rows as you have in order that the blanks would have a place if they were filled in at a later date.
In theory, you could stack this much deeper but for practical purposes, I wouldn't go much deeper than this. Array formulas eat up calculation resources at a logarithmic rate so the size of your data is going to be a key factor on whether this is a suitable solution.
One solution:
Copy and paste all values in column C below column A data. Highlight column A and go to Data>Remove duplicates then Data>Sort.
I would like to sum all values in column J when the value in column K matches. So, for example, I have the following:
COL J | COL K
25.00 | Now
45.00 | Aug 15
40.00 | Sep 10
70.00 | Now
14.00 | Aug 15
92.00 | Now
I'd like Excel to find all matching values in Column K and add up the values in corresponding rows of column J. For the example above it would sum 25.00, 70.00 and 92.00 which correspond with "Now" and then also add up 45.00 and 14.00 which correspond with Aug 15.
I know it can be done with formulas like this:
=SUMIF(K:K,"Now",J:J)
=SUMIF(K:K,"Aug 15",J:J)
However, I'd like to be more flexible and not have to have a separate formula for every different value in Column K. Is there a way to use a wildcard of some sort that can replace "Now" and "Aug 15" in the example above so that I could just have one formula that finds any matches in Column K and sums the corresponding values for those rows in Column J?
Thank you!
SUMIF accepts wildcards (e.g., this or this).
I tried adding another line to your data,
92.00 | Never
and then =SUMIF(K:K,"N*",J:J). It works great. If I understood what you were specifically aiming at, it would be =SUMIF(K:K,"*",J:J).
PS: I wouldn't know how it behaves when you have cells formatted as date, and you try to match according to what is displayed. That might involve locale issues.
You need to investigate Array Formulas also known as CSE formulas. http://www.mrexcel.com/articles/CSE-array-formulas-excel.php or http://office.microsoft.com/en-us/excel-help/guidelines-and-examples-of-array-formulas-HA010342564.aspx
=SUM(IF($K$1:$K$6=K1,$J$1:$J$6,0))
If you paste this formula into cell L1 (assuming your data is in K1:J6) and press Control-Shift-Enter to save it, it will calculate the sum of all the cells in Column J that have a matching Column K. Array Formulas are pretty powerful but they are pretty hard to debug.
I need a formula to return the value of Data for the last match of "Text". Row number is also acceptable. Macro is NOT acceptable. Name column is unsorted and cannot be sorted!
Only column "Name" is used as lookup value. I would rather use a/multiple helper column(s) instead of an array formula.
Row Name Data
1 Joe 10
2 Tom 20
3 Eva 30
4 Adam 40
5 Tom 21
LARGE only works with numbers, and VLOOKUP only returns the first match. LOOKUP only works sometimes, so its out too.
So if I wanted the last match for "Tom" then it should return "21".
Array formulas could be avoided with a helper column.
Suppose to have in F1 the name to match (i.e. Tom)
In the helper column row C2 enter
=IF(A2<>$F$1,0,row())
Then copy the formulas along your data.
Now the column C contains 0 for the unmatched names and the row number for the matched ones. Maxing the column yield the row of the solution.
Now the result is simple a matter of using the correct offset with the function offset:
=OFFSET(B1,max(C:C)-1,0)
PS: my copy of excel is in italian, so I can't test this english translaction of the formulas.
I think it's the easiest way to make it.
=LOOKUP("Tom";A2:B7)
Create a column with an array formula (enter it with Ctrl+Shift+Enter):
=VLOOKUP(MAX(IF($B$2:$B$6=B2, $A$2:A$6, 0)), $A$2:$C$6, 3, FALSE)
To make sure you did it right, click on the cell, and the formula should be shown encased in curly brackets ({}).
Note: This assumes that "Row" is in A1.
I have come up with a solution, but it requires that numbers in Data are concurrent, like so
Name Data
Joe 1
Tom 1
Eva 1
Adam 1
Tom 2
Tom 3
Eva 2
But thats okay, since that my data looks like that anyway. So if Name is used before then it must be the old highest +1 aka concurrent.
Name is A1 and Data is B1, and this formula goes into C2:
FLOOR(SQRT(2*SUMIF(A2:A7,A2,B2:B7)),1)
