In Excel I am trying to allocate classes to pupils based on their ranking in school. The set of data I have looks like this:
S/N Name LevelPosition
1 Andrea 10
2 Bryan 25
3 Catty 5
4 Debbie 26
5 Ellie 30
6 Freddie 28
I would like to have a formula that could sort the pupils based on the LevelPosition and allocate the class in order of this sequence - A,B,C,C,B,A. Hence the result would be:
S/N Name LevelPosition AllocatedClass
3 Catty 5 A
1 Andrea 10 B
2 Bryan 25 C
4 Debbie 26 C
6 Freddie 28 B
5 Ellie 30 A
This was the sort of thing I had in mind.
Column D is just a ranking from bottom to top:-
=RANK(C2,C$2:C$7,1)
Colum D is adjusted for any ties:-
=D2+COUNTIF(D$1:D1,D2)
Column E is based on the #pnuts formula:-
=CHOOSE(MOD(E2-1,6)+1,"A","B","C","C","B","A")
I've put some ties in to show what would happen. The last two students' allocations are reversed because the second to last has the higher mark.

Hope someone can help me out with what is probably quite a simple thing in Excel but I just can't seem to be able to work it out. I have a table of numbers which correspond to colour codes:
A

What I would like to able to have is some way of having a total based on the criteria:
Count the total number of times '36' appears in the table only if the row has '24' in column F
I've tried using COUNTIF and COUNTIFS but that only works for matching sized columns of data.
Any help would be really appreciated.
Use SUMPRODUCT:
=SUMPRODUCT((A1:E7=36)*(F1:F7=24))
I am trying to create a resource calculator that can tell me how many people i need to put on each section depending on the current work waiting and work coming in. Prioritizing sections which have the most work waiting first.
Upper Limit Allocation Prod Ranking
12 [to calc] 28% 1
15 18% 2
5 17% 3
4 8% 4
2 6% 5
3 .2% 6
4 .2% 6
Similar to the other question I have a constraint that i only have so much to allocate. For this example we will use 38 as the amount that is to be allocated.
I have used the formula from the other answer:
=MIN(A2,$E$1-SUMIF($D$2:$D$8,"<"&D2,$B$2:$B$8))
Where E1 contains the total to be allocated.
I have two issues with this formula:
1)The issue that I am having is that I require a minimum value of atleast 1 person in each of these sections.
I have tried using a max function to simply set this value, however this leads to the resources allocated going over the total amount.
What equation would I need to use to make it account for both the total available to allocate, the minimum requirement for each fund and the maximum limit for each fund.
2) It only returns solid integers, would there be a way to retreive more precise results, maybe by changing it to a % distribution?
UL Alloc Rank Capacity Lower Limit
2 1 15 93 1
3 1 15
4 1 15
6 6 8
1 1 15
2 1 15
4 4 9

5 5 3
1 1 14
2 2 13
3 3 12
3 1 15
Reference: Using the Excel's Rank() function to calculate allocations based on ranking and constraints
Simply subtract the 100 on all sides and add them separately:
=MIN(A2-100,($E$1-100*COUNTA($A$2:$A$8))-(SUMIF($D$2:$D$8,"<"&D2,$B$2:$B$8)-COUNTIF($D$2:$D$8,"<"&D2)*100))+100
What is returned depends on your entries in Column A and in E1. You can change Column A based on a percentage distribution and the formula will return the corresponding values.
Edit:
If you set your lower threshold into F2, your Constraint into E2, using this formula
=MIN(A2-$F$2,($E$2-$F$2*COUNTA($A$2:$A$8))-(SUMIF($D$2:$D$8,"<"&D2,$B$2:$B$8)-COUNTIF($D$2:$D$8,"<"&D2)*$F$2))+$F$2
the result looks like this:
I am trying to find a way to get which place a certain value comes in in a range of other values. Or another way to look at it is I want to turn the SMALL function inside out. The SMALL function looks like this, "=SMALL(array, k)" where it looks for the k place in an array. I need the find what the k is. I hope that makes sense, but if not here is one more example.
A B C D
1 Kate 12.25 =PLACE($B$1:$B$13,B1) 4
2 Cindy 15.80 =PLACE($B$1:$B$13,B2) 10
3 Mark 11.85 =PLACE($B$1:$B$13,B3) 3
4 Thomas 12.98 =PLACE($B$1:$B$13,B4) 5
5 George 13.58 =PLACE($B$1:$B$13,B5) 7
6 Kim 14.52 =PLACE($B$1:$B$13,B6) 9
7 Tim 11.54 =PLACE($B$1:$B$13,B7) 2
8 Frank 12.99 =PLACE($B$1:$B$13,B8) 6
9 Fran 17.85 =PLACE($B$1:$B$13,B9) 11
10 Caroline 14.25 =PLACE($B$1:$B$13,B10) 8
11 Alex 19.20 =PLACE($B$1:$B$13,B11) 12
12 Lilly 25.20 =PLACE($B$1:$B$13,B12) 13
13 Peter 11.22 =PLACE($B$1:$B$13,B13) 1
Also I can easily do it with VBA, but I do not want to. I want to do it in cell and I do not want to have to sort them first.
RANK function does this, i.e. in your case this formula in row 1 copied down
=RANK(B1,B$1:B$13,1)
The 1 at the end indicates the order of ranking (ascending here). Leave that out and you get descending ranking
Is it possible to count or countif by using a column as the data, a cell for the criteria (or what to match) and range of what to count?
Here is what I am looking at:
A1 B C D E F G H I J K L M N O
2 Running Data Total Count of Tardies (by category)
3 Date Employees Leader Start of Shift Break 1 Lunch Break 2 Employees Start of Shift Break 1 Lunch Break 2 Total
4 1-Jul Abe Sue 15 Abe 0
5 3-Jul Steve Bob 20 Anna 0
6 5-Jul Eve Andy 9 20 Eve 0
7 7-Jul Anna Andy 30 Helen 0
8 15-Jul Abe Sue 15 Mark 0
9 18-Jul Anna Andy 10 Steve 0
10 20-Jul Helen Sue 9 0
11 31-Jul Mark Bob 45 0
I am trying to count the data entered on the left (running data) in each category and having it show based on the Employees on the right (in the orange cells). So Abe should show 1 for Start of Shift, Eve should show 1 for Break 1 and Break 2, and Anna should show 2 for Start of Shift.
I have tried using:
=countif(C:C,$J4,D:D) to get the data from JUST Column D for Start of shift, but it gives and error saying too many arguments for the function have been entered.
Help...
...and Thanks!
Countif will only look at 1 column to decide what to count.
Countifs will look at multiple columns. Your formula would look something like this:
=COUNTIFS($C:$C,$J4,E:E,">0")
To sum the third column (numbers o companies) I've used this
=SUM(1/COUNTIF(Names;Names))
Names is name of array in C column and CTRL+SHIFT+ENTER and it works perfectly.
Now I'd like to sum earnings but only for each company once and with the latest data. For example, the result shoud be like this
=C4+C6+C7+C8+C9+C10
(93)
Thanks
A B C D
1 # company earnings date
2 1 ISB 12 10/11/2011
3 2 DTN 15 11/11/2011
4 3 ABC 13 12/11/2011
5 4 ISB 17 13/11/2011
6 5 RTV 18 14/11/2011
7 6 DTN 22 15/11/2011
8 7 PVS 11 16/11/2011
9 8 ISB 19 17/11/2011
10 9 ANH 10 18/11/2011
Sum 6 93
Assuming ascending dates, you could try with CTRL+SHIFT+ENTER in C11:
=SUM((MAX(A2:A10)-MATCH(B2:B10,LOOKUP(MAX(A2:A10)-A2:A10,A2:A10-1,B2:B10),0)=A2:A10-1)*C2:C10)
I'd suggest using a helper column as the easiest approach. In E2 use this formula
=IF(COUNTIF(B2:B$1000,B2)=1,C2,"")
and copy down the column. Now sum column D for the required answer.
Note that the above formula assumes 1000 rows of data maximum, increase if required.
