I often need to search through columns to find the match to values and then return the according value.
My issue is that INDEXand MATCHalways return the first value in the column.
EX. I got 7 car dealers and this is the sales last month. Oslo and Berlin sold the same ammount and INDEX(D:E,MATCH(B1,E:E,0),1)) in column C will return the first hit from column D.
A B C D E
rank Sales Delaer
1 409 London | Tokyo 272
2 272 Tokyo | London 409
3 257 Hawaii | oslo 248
4 255 Stockholm | numbai 240
5 248 Oslo | Berlin 248
6 248 Oslo | hawaii 257
7 240 Numbai | Stockholm 255
At the moment my best solution is to first find the row each value in B got in E with MATCH(B1,E:E,0) and add that to a new column (column F). Then I can add another formula in the next column, which is what I currently have to do:
=IF(F2=F1;MATCH(F2;INDIRECT("F"&(1+F1)):$F$7;0))+F2
Is there a better approach at this?
In B2 use the following standard formula,
=IFERROR(LARGE(E$2:E$8, ROW(1:1)), "")
Fill down as necessary.
In C2 use the following standard formula,
=INDEX(D$2:D$8, AGGREGATE(15, 6, ROW($1:$7)/(E$2:E$8=B2), COUNTIF(B$2:B2, B2)))
Fill down as necessary.
[Optional] - Repair the ranking in column A.
In A2 use the following formula,
=SUMPRODUCT((B$2:B$8>=B2)/(COUNTIFS(B$2:B$8, B$2:B$8&"")))
Fill down as necessary.

The Input data
in sheet1
and
the output calculated in sheet2
Now the sheet1 data can be changed by the user for input, so now columns 'Units1' & 'Units2' may not be placed at the same address that are in columns 'C' and 'D' respectively, so suppose a new user will input the data in which 'Avocado' and 'Banana' are in columns C & D , then the 'Output' calculation in Sheet2 will be incorrect because we always want to use Units1 & Units2 for calculation.
How to fix this, so that every time the data is input the formula checks whether the correct columns have been taken for calculation or not?
Is there a way to use INDEX or family of LOOKUP functions or any other function for this.
Maybe by a creating a new sheet and making a table of Indexes which refer to (or point to) the column names of Data sheet

Use INDEX/MATCH:
=INDEX(2:2,1,MATCH("Units2",$1:$1,0))/INDEX(2:2,1,MATCH("Units1",$1:$1,0))

The Excel table above consists of:
List A = Column C:D
List B = Column E:F
In each list campaigns can appear mutliple times.
In Column A:B I want to sum up the sales per campaign from the two lists using the SUMIF formula:
=SUMIF(C:C,A3,D:D)
=SUMIF(E:E,A3,F:F)
However, the List B should be prioritized over List A which means in case a campaign exists in List B (Column E) the SUMIF function should be only applied to List B and List A should be totally ignored.
The formula might look something like htis:
IF campaign exists in Column E then SUMIF(E:E,A3,F:F) else SUMIF(C:C,A3,D:D)
How can I achieve the desired results in Column B?
Or,
=IF(COUNTIF(E:E,A3)>0,SUMIF(E:E,A3,F:F),SUMIF(C:C,A3,D:D))
I would try with the following:
if(sumIf(E:E,A3,F:F)>0;sumIf(E:E,A3,F:F);sumIf(C:C,A3,D:D))
I need to generate 13 numbers from 13 different intervals which will add up to 1360. In the chart below, "index" means the index of the 13 different numbers. Mean means the mean (average) of the intervals. The range will be plus or minus 15% of the mean as shown below. I will prefer to have the random numbers generated based on the normal distribution with N(mean, 7.5% of mean). I take it back. No normal distribution. Please use +- 15% as hard limits of the intervals.
It will be great if anyone could figure out how to do it in excel. Algorithms will be appreciated as well.
Index mean 15% low high
A 288 43 245 331
B 50 8 43 58
C 338 51 287 389
D 50 8 43 58
E 16 2 14 18
F 66 10 56 76
G 118 18 100 136
H 17 3 14 20
I 91 14 77 105
J 26 4 22 30
K 117 18 99 135
L 165 25 140 190
M 18 3 15 21
I would sort the table by increasing mean:
and use a column for a helper value (column H above).
The idea is to maintain -- while going to the next row -- the current deviation from a perfect aim for the final target. Perfect would mean that every random value coincides with the mean for that row. If a value is 2 less than the mean, then that 2 will appear in the H column for the next row. The random number generated for that next row will then not aim for the given mean, but for 2 less than the mean. The range for the random number will appropriately be reduced so that the low/high values will never be crossed.
By first sorting the rows, we can be sure that this corrected mean will always fall within the next row's low/high range, and so it will always be possible to generate an acceptable random number there.
The final value will be calculated differently: it will be the remainder that is needed to achieve the target sum. For the same reason as above, this value is guaranteed to be within the low/high range.
The formulas used are as follows:
| F | H
--+--------------------------------------------------+------------------------------
2 | =RANDBETWEEN(D2, E2) |
3 | =RANDBETWEEN(B3+H3-C3+ABS(H3), B3+H3+C3-ABS(H3)) | =SUM($B$2:$B2)-SUM($F$2:$F2)
4 | (copy above formula) | (copy above formula)
...| ... | ...
13 | (copy above formula) | (copy above formula)
14 | =SUM($B$2:$B14)-SUM($F$2:$F13) |
In theory the rows do not need to be sorted first, but then the formulas cannot be copied down like above, but must reference the correct rows. That would make it quite complicated.
If it is absolutely necessary that the rows are presented in order of the Index column (A, B, C...), then use another sheet to do the above. Then in the main sheet read the value into the F column with a VLOOKUP from the other sheet. So in F2 you would have:
=VLOOKUP(A2, OtherSheet!$A$2:$F$14, 6, 0)
Get the random number like this
num = Int ((300 - 200 + 1) * Rnd + 200) //between 200 and 300
Click here for more information
and the random number need to be the total sum minus the sum that you already got and the last one will be that left.
for example: (if we have 4 numbers sum up to 100)
A is a random number between 0 to 100 //lets say 42
then B is a random number between 0 to (100-42) => 0 to 78 //lets say 18
then C is a random number between 0 to (100-42-18) => 0 to 40 //lets say 25
then, in the end D is 100-42-18-25 => D is 15
*100-42-18-25 is the same as 100-Sum(A,B,C)
Here is my example generate random number based on low and high.
The formula in column F is just a RANDBETWEEN:
=RANDBETWEEN($D2,$E2)
Then you can get the result always equal to 1360 with the formula below for column G:
=F2/SUM($F$2:$F$14)*1360
So cell G15 will always be 1360 which is the sum of all those 13 intervals.
Given data like this:
A B C D
1 MAX. Time MIN. Time
2 140 08:00 100 01:00
3 150 15:00 50 02:00
4 130 17:00 80 03:00
5 120 22:00 90 04:00
=MAX(A2:A5) will return 150 and
=MIN(C2:C5) will return 50
How can I find the values in COL B in same row as 150 (for MAX) and in COL D in the same row as 50 (for MIN)?
If you can confirm that you have only one max(min) value (if not, formula returns first occurance), you can simply use VLOOKUP:
=VLOOKUP(Max(A2:A5),A2:B5,2,0)
for min formulaa would be the same:
=VLOOKUP(Min(C2:C5),C2:D5,2,0)
Alternatively you can use more flexible formula:
=INDEX(B2:B5,MATCH(Min(C2:C5),C2:C5,0))
above formula finds min in column C and returns corresponding value from col B
I have a long list of ID number in Column C with important information in Column D-Q.
I need to sort it accordingly to a specific set of ID numbers in Column B along with the matching information in Col D-Q, like this:
I have this:
B C D E . . .
123 234 male 12
234 345 female 13
345 555 male 12
444 123 male 11
I need this:
B C D E . . .
123 123 male 11
234 234 male 12
345 345 female 13
444 N/A N/A N/A
Essentially, I need the information from C (and the adjacent info) to match with B or get sorted by the ID numbers in B. The file is huge and I just need to pull/sort it just by a specific set of ID numbers.
Thank you!
EDIT:I tried to use as suggested, the following in a new column. However, I receive the #N/A and #REF error.
=Index(D:Q,Match(B:B, C:C,0)
Provides error: #N/A and #REF!
You can get all the matching data from C-Q using index(array, match()). Just make the match() on B and C.
