All,
I am currently faced with an issue where I need to fetch the first instance of a value in a column, but I have multiple values. No two rows will be the same EXCEPT for the first column.
Example:
A 1 !
A 2 #
B 3 #
B 4 $
C 5 %
C 6 ^
D 7 &
D 8 *
After filter:
A 1 !
B 3 #
C 5 %
D 7 &
Would anyone have a way to go about this? Thanks in advanced.
Edit: Jeeped literally pointed something out that I have been doing for a long time, but didn't even think would work in this instance.
To solve this item, utilize the "Remove Duplicates" on the column in question (Column 1), but make sure you expand the selection. However, uncheck all the columns, and recheck only Column 1 for the criteria.
Thanks.
I am assuming you are trying to extract unique values from each column. If so, Excel has a built in function called Advanced Filter, which will do exactly that.
This tutorial will familiarize you with the feature

Hope that helps

I have a data frame with 2 columns x&y.
Now I want to remove all rows where column x is either equal 1 or 3.
How can I do that?
setting rm<-c(1,3)
and then df<-df[!df$x==rm,] does not work
df<-data.frame(c(1,2,3,4,4,4,4,2,2,3,3),c(1:11))
rm<-c(1,3)
df<-df[!df$x==rm,]
Found an answer. So just in case anybody checks this question later on:
df<-df[ ! df$x %in% rm, ]
Following from the example here I'm trying to add additional conditions to a sum formula. I've represented an example below:
The output that I'm looking for for example for Jan 2017 is
2017
1
UP A 1
UP B 6
UP C 6
DOWN A 1
DOWN B 8
DOWN C 7
I tried with the following formula:
=MMULT(--($B$17:$C$17="X"),MATCH(1,($A23=$C$2:$C$14)*(C$21=$A$2:$A$14)*(C$22=$B$2:$B$14)*($E$2:$E$14=$D$2:$D$14),0))
but I get a N/A value.
Does anyone know it if is possible to do it?
In your first example the number of rows in array1 and number of columns in array2 were equal, five. Here you have two columns and 13 rows. That they are unequal here is part (all) of the reason why you are having an issue.
Also your match function is returning a Boolean not an array
I have a way to do this using matrix condition and multiple criteria but had to change problem up a bit, see photo for example:
{=MMULT(--(D18:P18="x"),E$2:E$14*(--(A$2:A$14=$C$21)*--(B$2:B$14=$C$22)*--(C$2:C$14=A24)))"
https://i.stack.imgur.com/FEvgR.png
You can create a formula to fill the second matrix with X's see below
=IF(OR(INDIRECT("D"&VALUE(D20))=$A$18,INDIRECT("D"&VALUE(D20))=$B$18),"X","")
https://i.stack.imgur.com/4rS4L.png
That being said I don't think this is particularly efficient as you are treating the one of the matrixes as a all 1's so you basically just adding an extra criteria / Boolean with added complexity....that being said u asked for this specifically and I believe that I have delivered that LOL
Just add two SUMIFS together.
=SUMIFS($E$2:$E$14, $A$2:$A$14, C$21, $B$2:$B$14, C$22, $C$2:$C$14, $A23, $D$2:$D$14, IF(INDEX($B$17:$C$19, MATCH($B23, $A$17:$A$19, 0), 1)="x", $B$16))+
SUMIFS($E$2:$E$14, $A$2:$A$14, C$21, $B$2:$B$14, C$22, $C$2:$C$14, $A23, $D$2:$D$14, IF(INDEX($B$17:$C$19, MATCH($B23, $A$17:$A$19, 0), 2)="x", $C$16))
How can I return the ranking of each value in a row, even in the case of duplicates? Please see my example below.
While many questions have been answered regarding the handling of duplicate values in a ranking, I have come short in achieving a method that works for all of my cases.
EDIT: The previous picture above was a bad example that did not address my problem. Here is a new picture of the behavior.
In certain cases it skips to 7 when the rank should only be 1:6. In other cases it seems to work, and then not work in similar cases. Data is:

EDIT2: Implementing RANK instead of RANK.EQ showing no difference:
I think you've got an error in your setup. My understanding is each row is meant to be a separate independent case, however your formula for calculating rank has fixed row and column references, when it should have only fixed column references. Right now, the rank for every value is being found based on the first row in your data. Instead of:
=RANK.EQ(B4,$B$4:$G$4,1)
It should be:
=RANK.EQ(B4,$B4:$G4,1)
This then alters your results in the 2nd and 3rd blocks and you should get the desired result in the 3rd block.
With the formula below in Cell B2:B4 you can filter the unique numbers in Column A.
Please note that this is an array formula so once you enter it you have to mark it and press CTRL + ALT + DEL. Hope this solves your problem. More details regarding this formula you can also find here https://exceljet.net/formula/extract-unique-items-from-a-list
Column A Column B

1 1 = {=INDEX($A$1:$A$5000,MATCH(0,COUNTIF($B$1:B1,$A$1:$A$5000),0))}

Try RANK instead of RANK.EQ as below. Though I am not sure whether this will work as I am testing on Excel 07.
Enter the following formula in Cell H1
=RANK(A1,$A1:$F1,1)+COUNTIF($A1:A1,A1)-1
Copy/Drag the formula down and across (to right) as required. See image for reference.
As per Microsoft Documentation on RANK.EQ function here
RANK.EQ gives duplicate numbers the same rank. However, the presence of duplicate numbers affects the ranks of subsequent numbers. For example, in a list of integers sorted in ascending order, if the number 10 appears twice and has a rank of 5, then 11 would have a rank of 7 (no number would have a rank of 6)
I am looking for some help with a formula. On one worksheet, I have data set up similar to:
A B C D E
1 Test1 Test2 Test3
2 ID Name
3 T01 Confucius X
4 T02 Newton X
5 T03 Enstein X
6 T04 Plato X X
7 T05 Da Vinci X
It is similar to comparison of different products against set of features.
What I would like is, on a separate worksheet, when a test name (i.e. row1) is selected, information from column A and column B is returned ONLY if there is a check mark in the column for the respective test selected. In other words, if on a separate worksheet, I select Test3, then T04 Plato and T05 Da Vinci are returned. I would like this dynamic as my data spreadsheet will continue to grow with new IDs/Names and test(x).
I am open to formulaic or filter-type solutions.
I suggest a slight rearrangement of your labels and using a PivotTable:
This though would require refreshing of the PT if further values are added.
Edit re supplementary
I think what you want is a more amenable dataset. Replace Xs with the Test# in a single column (so two rows for Plato), then pivot:
You can user vlookup but you would need to put the values you are looking for (i.e. test3) in the early columns (i.e. "A") this can be done by using vlookup to a second sheet to put them in order.
A lot of vlookups get resource heavy, so a better solution is probably to try and do something with Access, if you own it.
I need to be able to search my whole table for a row that matches multiple criteria. We use a program that outputs data in the form of a .csv file. It has rows that separate sets of data, each of these headers don't have any columns that are unique in of them self but if i searched the table for multiple values i should be able to pinpoint each header row. I know i can use Application.WorksheetFunction.Match to return a row on a single criteria but i need to search on two three or four criteria.
In pseudo-code it would be something like this:
Return row number were column A = bill & column B = Woods & column C = some other data
We need to work with arrays:
There are 2 kinds of arrays:
numeric {1,0,1,1,1,0,0,1}
boolean {TRUE,FALSE,TRUE,TRUE,TRUE,FALSE,FALSE,TRUE}
to convert between them we can use:
MATCH function
MATCH(1,{1,0,1,1,1,0,0,1},0) -> will result {TRUE,FALSE,TRUE,TRUE,TRUE,FALSE,FALSE,TRUE}
simple multiplication
{TRUE,FALSE,TRUE,TRUE,TRUE,FALSE,FALSE,TRUE}*{TRUE,FALSE,TRUE,TRUE,TRUE,FALSE,FALSE,TRUE} -> will result {1,0,1,1,1,0,0,1}
you can can check an array in the match function, entering it like in the picture below, be warned that MATCH function WILL TREAT AN ARRAY AS AN "OR" FUNCTION (one match will result in true
ie:
MATCH(1,{1,0,1,1,1,0,0,1},0)=TRUE
, YOU MUST CTR+SHIFT+ENTER !!! FOR IT TO GIVE AN ARRAY BACK!!!
in the example below i show that i want to sum the hours of all the employees except the admin per case
we have 2 options, the long simple way, the complicated fast way:
long simple way
D2=SUMPRODUCT(C2:C9,(A2=A2:A9)*("admin"<>B2:B9)) <<- SUMPRODUCT makes a multiplication
basically A1={2,3,11,3,2,4,5,6}*{0,1,1,0,0,0,0,0} (IT MUST BE A NUMERIC ARRAY TO THE RIGHT IN SUMPRODUCT!!!)
ie: A1=2*0+3*1+11*1+3*0+2*0+4*0+5*0+6*0
this causes a problem because if you drag the cell to autocomplete the rest of the cells, it will edit the lower and higher values of
ie: D9=SUMPRODUCT(C9:C16,(A9=A9:A16)*("admin"<>B9:B16)), which is out of bounds
same as the above if you have a table and want to view the results in a diferent order
the fast complicated way
D3=SUMPRODUCT(INDIRECT("c2:c9"),(A3=INDIRECT("a2:a9"))*("admin"<>INDIRECT("b2:b9")))
it's the same, except that INDIRECT was used on the cells that we want not be modified when autocompleting or table reorderings
be warned that INDIRECT sometimes give VOLATILE ERROR,i recommend not using it on a single cell or using it only once in an array
f* c* i cant post pictures :(
table is:
case emplyee hours totalHoursPerCaseWithoutAdmin
1 admin 2 14
1 him 3 14
1 her 11 14
2 him 3 5
2 her 2 5
3 you 4 10
3 admin 5 10
3 her 6 10
and for the functions to check the arrays, open the insert function button (it looks like and fx) then doubleclick MATCH and then if you enter inside the Lookup_array a value like
A2=A2:A9 for our example it will give {TRUE,TRUE,TRUE,FALSE,FALSE,FALSE,FALSE,FALSE} that is because only the first 3 lines are from case=1
Something like this?
Assuming that you data in in A1:C20
I am looking for "Bill" in A, "Woods" in B and "some other data" in C
Change as applicable
=IF(INDEX(A1:A20,MATCH("Bill",A1:A20,0),1)="Bill",IF(INDEX(B1:B20,MATCH("Woods",B1:B20,0),1)="Woods",IF(INDEX(C1:C20,MATCH("some other data",C1:C20,0),1)="some other data",MATCH("Bill",A1:A20,0),"Not Found")))
SNAPSHOT
I would use this array* formula (for three criteria):
=MATCH(1,((Range1=Criterion1)*(Range2=Criterion2)*(Range3=Criterion3)),0)
*commit with Ctrl+Shift+Enter
