I am new in excel tool and want to find last 4 digits of column2 in column3. If found then want to show column1 value in column4.
Let's see: for first row, last 4 digits of column2 value is '4160'. It is present in front of I. So column4 value is I.

A simple INDEX/MATCH function pair should so, providing you use the RIGHT function to peel off the right 4 digits from the longer number in column B.
=INDEX(A:A, MATCH(--RIGHT(B1, 4),C:C, 0))
Fill down as necessary.
    

Place this formula in column 4:
=INDEX($A$2:$A$15,MATCH(VALUE(RIGHT(B2,4)),$C$2:$C$15,0))
The formula assumes your data starts in cell A1 with the column 1 - 4 as headers.
The Index function will return the corresponding value in Column 1 for the Match of the Right 4 most characters for the value in column 2 against the values in column 3.

scan Excel column based on another column value

I want to check one entire column with value in another column and then assign a value in another column value to matching row cell.
Eg-
A B C D
1 10 X
2 3 Y
3 2 Z
4 11 K
What I want to do is take one value at a time from column A eg 1 and then scan through Column B if matches the Column A (value 1) then assign x to that row under D. eg if we check A3 ( value 2) with column B and found 2 is on B4 then D4 = Z. Like this I want to check all values in column in A against column B assign relevant vale from column C to Column D
How can I do this, can someone please help me.
Thanks.
Try:
= IFERROR(INDEX($C$2:$C$5,MATCH(A3,$B$2:$B$5,0)),"no match")
See below.
Try:
=IFERROR(VLOOKUP(A1,$B$1:$C$5,2,0),"")

Deducting numbers based on value in a different column

I have a C column with several rows containing numbers. I have another E Column with rankings.
I would like a formula that will automatically change the number in a 3rd column G based on the ranking in E column
So,
If the ranking is 2 in E the number in G is number in column C
minus 1
If the ranking is 1 the number in E the number in G is
number in column C minus 2
Any other ranking the number remains the
same.
Example -
C E G
19 2 18
12 1 10
15 3 15
Put below formula in G column -
=IF(E1=1,C1-2,IF(E1=2,C1-1,C1))
Above formula is for row 1. Adjust row value according to your need.
Explanation -
Check if E column contains 1, then subtract 2 from C column
Else, check if E column contains 2, then subtract 1 from C
column
Else, G column is same as C column

Average based on criteria then output

I have an Excel table with the first six columns having a value of 1 or 2. The next six columns are associated with the first six columns and have values that will need to be averaged - two averages will be computed based on whether there is a 1 or 2 value in the first six columns. Then depending on the two averages, the last six columns will need to be assigned a value equal to H (high average) or L (low average). This is difficult to explain, so here is an example:
A B C D E F G H I J K L M N O P Q R
1 2 2 1 2 2 1 8 8 9 8 6 8 L L H L L H
Columns C and F have values equal to 1, so columns I and L need to be averaged. Then because columns A, B, D and E have values equal to 2, columns G, H, J and K need to be averaged. The average of the columns associated with a value of 1 (I and L) is 8.5, and the average of the columns associated with a value of 2 (G, H, J and K) is 7.5. Columns M-R now must be labeled with an H or L depending on whether the corresponding values from columns G-L were part of the high (H) or low (L) average. In this case, since columns I and L had the larger average, then columns O and R need to be assigned an H. The other columns (M, N, P and Q) will be assigned an L because their associated columns (G, H, J, K) had the lower average.
Please consider the following formula placed on the first row of Column M and then copied across to Column R:
=IF(AVERAGEIF($A$1:$F$1,A1,$G$1:$L$1)=MAX(AVERAGEIF($A$1:$F$1,1,$G$1:$L$1),AVERAGEIF($A$1:$F$1,2,$G$1:$L$1)),"H","L")
Logic is if the average of the values that correspond to either the 1 or 2 on A1 is equal to the MAX of calculations between both, then this corresponds to the High number. If not it corresponds to the Low value. Note that this does not consider for when the averages are equal in which case all entries are noted as High. You can extend this by adding to the formula to check if the value is equal to the MIN of the same. Hope this helps. Regards,
If you don't want to use Visual Basic, you could use this method, but it might require more columns.
xx A B C D E F G H I J K L
1 2 2 1 2 2 1 8 8 9 8 6 8
For cell M1 type in: =if(A1=1, G1, "")
Note that this is two regular quotes (")s in a row after the G1 term.
Copy this over to cells M1-R1.
Now cells M1-R1 should only contain data for columns marked with a 1.
Next for cell S1 type in: =average(M1:R1)
This shouldn't factor in blank cells, So you should just have the average of "1" cells.
Now copy the process for the "2" cells:
For cell T1 type in: =if(A1=2, G1, "")
Copy this to cells T1-Y1.
For cell Z1 type in: =average(T1:Y1)
Now for cell AA1 type in: =if(S1 > Z1, 1, 2)
Now AA1 will have the number that has the higher average. So if the "1" cells had a higher average, cell AA1 will be a 1, otherwise it will be a 2.
Now for cell AB1 type in =if(A1=$AA1, "H", "L")
Copy AB1 to cells AB1 through AG1 and you're done.
Cells AB1-AG1 will have your H's and L's. Note that there is one drawback to this method, apart from it being a little complex, that is that if the averages are equal, it will still print "2"s as having the higher average.
Anyways hopefully you can find a simpler method, but this one should work if you can't.

SUM cell values based on multiple condition - either A column or B column cell is true. Any of the two. But not always both conditions are true

In my excel sheet I have 3 columns as :
A B C
===================
XYZ N 9
ABC N 1
MNO N 3
D 13
D D 7
D D 9
D 1
Now, From these sheet I want sum of all cells in C column where either value in A or B column's cell is 'D'.
something like : if(a='D' or b='D') then sum+=C
Here, for case SUM(where cell value is 'D' in columns A or B) will be 30.
Let's say you had those values in cells A1:C7, this should do the trick:
=SUMPRODUCT(C1:C7*(A1:A7="D"))+SUMPRODUCT(C1:C7*(B1:B7="D"))-SUMPRODUCT(C1:C7*(A1:A7="D")*(B1:B7="D"))
To explain the formula, it is:
(Sum of C where A = "D") + (Sum of C where B = "D") - (Sum of C where both A = "D" and B = "D")
The reason for the last part is to avoid double counting.

Excel get average of a result of index+match function, see details

So I have:
A B C down here i want to get an average
like this:
v 1 a (*1) filter col "C" for what i have in row for col C, in this case "a", then filter col A for what I have in my row for col A, then all those rows must be counted, then sum them and then: sum/count
v 2 a
y 3 a
y 7 a
y 3 a
v 2 b
y 4 b
v 2 b
y 7 b
thanks
You want COUNTIFS and SUMIFS (check Excel help for the params)
Assuming your first row starts on A1:
=SUMIFS($B$1:$B$9,$C$1:$C$9,C1,$A$1:$A$9,A1) / COUNTIFS($C$1:$C$9,C1,$A$1:$A$9,A1)
