I need to get title of the cell to the left of the higher value of the column.
=VLOOKUP(MAX(B5:B11);A4:B11;1;1)
I use this command, but return: #N/A!
This is the capture of the spreadsheet
You are using an approximate match for the range_lookup parameter of the VLOOKUP function. An approximate match can only be performed on sorted data.
Additionally, you need an INDEX/MATCH function pair when the lookup column is to the right of the retrieved data.
=INDEX(A$4:A$11; MATCH(MAX(B5:B11); B$4:B$11; 0))
A better method may be to also retrieve the column of data from B5:G11 using a match to the column header labels in B4:G4 from A15:A20.
Your maximum formula in G15 would be,
=MAX(INDEX($B$5:$G$11; ; MATCH(A15; $B$4:$G$4; 0)))
To retrieve the associated comments, use this in B15,
=INDEX($A$5:$A$11; MATCH(G15; INDEX($B$5:$G$11; ; MATCH(A15; $B$4:$G$4; 0)); 0))
Fill the two formulas down to retrieve the results in the other rows.
btw, the highlighting in the sample image was created using a conditional format for B5:G11 based on the formula =B5=MAX(B$5:B$11).

How to write a formula in excel that based on critria it can check if list of multiple result cells have same value.
I attached example:
Look for all cell with the number 100
Verify that the list of these cells contain same date value of one cell.
I try to use formula such as: COUNTIF + INDEX and MATCH but didn't work as expacted.
I'm guessing you can use =ROWS(FILTER(....)) but what I would do is create a hidden column that evaluates it per row, maybe with something like
=IF(A2="","",XLOOKUP(A2,A$2:A,B$2:B)=B2)
and copy that formula down the column.
This way, you can not only see if there are any bad values (by COUNTIFS for false values where the A-column's value matches the "find these cells" value) but apply conditional formatting as well to highlight the bad values.
Given Table 1, I am able to calculate the sum of the revenue with the SUMPRODUCT formula. Though, I would like to be able to filter out specific areas directly in the formula. The formula listed below gives the correct result (13,000) when area B is filtered out of the data with:
=SUMPRODUCT(--(Sales[Area]<>Exceptions[Area]);Sales[Quantity];Sales[Price per unit])
However, when I add another area in Table 2, the formula returns an error. Is it possible to filter out multiple variables (areas) directly in the formula?
Use ISERROR(MATCH()):
=SUMPRODUCT(--(ISERROR(MATCH(Sales[Area];Exceptions[Area];0)));Sales[Quantity];Sales[Price per unit])
--(ISERROR(MATCH(Sales[Area];Exceptions[Area];0))) will return 1 if the area is not found in the search area, because the MATCH will return an error when it is not found in the list.
I was not sure how to really create the question...
But the problem I am having is this: I have a list (in rows) that relate to a regulatory document, and after trying to create some sort of for loop or elaborate VLookUp/Index formula, I'm requesting help.
For example:
Now I want to use the rows to find the corresponding section in the document. I've already extracted and formatted the compliance document so it is in excel format.
So what I really need is this: a formula or VBA script that can
1. take the compliance number (for example 1A-1 which exist in Cell A3) and go find a cell (in single column D) that has JUST 1A-1, not 1A-1.1, not 1A-1.1.2, etc. and return it to the adjacent cell to 1A-1, for example.
Many thanks ahead of time... I am so lost!! :/
VLOOKUP vs INDEX/MATCH
You can do the 'lookup' two ways (that I'm aware of):
Using VLOOKUP:
The B3 cell contains your formula
=IF(ISERROR(VLOOKUP(A3,C:D,2,FALSE)),"",VLOOKUP(A3,C:D,2,FALSE))
where 'FALSE' is indicating there has to be an exact match and the data doesn't have to be sorted.
Using INDEX with MATCH:
The F3 cell contains the Index/Match formula
=IF(ISERROR(MATCH(A3,C:C,0)),"",INDEX(D:D,MATCH(A3,C:C,0)))
where '0' is indicating there has to be an exact match and the data doesn't have to be sorted.
INDEX/MATCH preferable!?
The MATCH function finds the position (row number if whole column is used) of the found match. This way (there's another) of using the INDEX function uses exactly this found match to return a cell's value in that position (row) in ANY specified column range (column). So they are the ideal combination.
With the VLOOKUP function you have to additionally specify the column index (range_lookup) of a range which could get complicated when the columns aren't adjacent as in this case. Most importantly, the function doesn't work if the lookup data is to the right of the match data.
VLOOKUP NOT WORKING! INDEX/MATCH STILL WORKING!
try this formula
The formula in cells
B2: =INDEX(E:E,MATCH(A2,F:F,0))
C2: =INDEX(G:G,MATCH(A2,F:F,0))
MATCH(A2,F:F,0) is finding Cell A2 in column F (0 means it will find
exact match) and will return the first row number when it would find that
INDEX(E:E,MATCH(A2,F:F,0)) will return contents of column E where row number is returned by the Match formula
Is there a way to check if a text exists and is a unique entry within a column and then get a cells value which is relative to the position of the found cell?
Here is the approach I tried and a more detailed explanation:
I am using this formula to check if a text exists and is a unique entry within the column D.
=COUNTIF(D:D;X1)=1
If that is the case this function returns TRUE.
Is there a way to get the cell's position, which is found by Excel to make the check for the function mentioned above? Moreover I am interested to know if then one can get a relative cell value from the position returned by Excel e.g: 2 columns on the left of the found position.
Do I need a different, maybe nested function or is this only possible with VBA?
What can I do?
=MATCH(D1, X:X, 0) will find the row number of the first D1 in column X, or #N/A if there are none.
=INDEX(V:V, 42) will show the value of cell V42.
Combining this:
=IF(COUNTIF(X:X, D1)=1, INDEX(V:V, MATCH(D1, X:X, 0)), NA())
This should do what you need - if there's a unique match in column X, it shows the corresponding value from column V.
You can take this further by naming the columns, for example:
=IF(COUNTIF(client_email, D1)=1, INDEX(client_name, MATCH(D1, client_email, 0), NA())
This has the upside that you can see you're looking for the client's name if they and only they have a particular email address. And the downside that it's less obvious where on the sheet that data is stored. Swings and roundabouts!
Good Evening.
I am trying to get my formulas to ignore hidden rows in a filtered table. I have attempted some of the tricks shown here, but I haven't been successful.
The CSV I get from BigFix (network management tool) looks something like:
The applications column lists the applications in the same cell. As a result, when I do a count function to identify the issues, I have to use a wildcard (I'm searching for the results in a different tab).
=COUNTIF('Input Data'!C:C,"*"&Results!A2&"*")
I want to be able to filter the table on the first tab, and have the formula results show up accurately on the 2nd tab.
Any ideas?
UPDATE:
I feel more information would help. The reason I want the "results" tab to update automatically is that I plan to build graphs out of the information on that tab. I would love to be able to filter the table in the 'input data' to include only Department A and have the graph autoupdate to Department A's info.
The excel files I'm working with have up to a thousand entries, and I'm trying to get graphs I can copy/paste to put into a presentation as efficiently as possible.
=SUMPRODUCT(SUBTOTAL(3,OFFSET('Input Data'!C:C,ROW('Input Data'!C:C)-MIN(ROW('Input Data'!C:C)),,1))*(ISNUMBER(SEARCH(A2,'Input Data'!C:C))))
In the above formula Restrict the C:C to your actual data range or use a named range to identify the Actual Data Range.
Edit
Above formula should be replaced with 103 instead of 3 as pointed by Jeep
=SUMPRODUCT(SUBTOTAL(103,OFFSET('Input Data'!C:C,ROW('Input Data'!C:C)-MIN(ROW('Input Data'!C:C)),,1))*(ISNUMBER(SEARCH(A2,'Input Data'!C:C))))
In the above formula Restrict the C:C to your actual data range or use a named range to identify the Actual Data Range.
Adding Explanation based on OP's Request.
In the above formula Used Sumproduct() Subtotal() Offset() Min() Row() IsNumber() Search() function combinations for arriving your expected result.
Row() - Will get the Row Number of a given range
Min() - Will get the Minimum Value of a given Numbers
Offset() - Is used to redirect the reference to each cell of a given range.
Subtotal() - Is used to find the (un)hidden state of redirected reference.
Search() - Is used to find the specific text in a given range (Not case sensitive) will result Number or error.
IsNumber() Is Used to check whether search returns Number or error. So Isnumber will return boolean True/False as result.
Column-C Column-D
Data For Filtering
a 1
b 1
a 1
a 2
a 2
The above data starts from 1st Row with headers in the 1st Row. Assume that I filtered D column With 1. Using the below formula will result 2.
=SUMPRODUCT(SUBTOTAL(103,OFFSET('Input Data'!C2:C6,ROW('Input Data'!C2:C6)-MIN(ROW('Input Data'!C2:C6)),,1))*(ISNUMBER(SEARCH("a",'Input Data'!C2:C6))))
ROW('Input Data'!C2:C6) = {2;3;4;5;6}
MIN(ROW('Input Data'!C2:C6)) = 2
ROW('Input Data'!C2:C6)-MIN(ROW('Input Data'!C2:C6)) should be read as
{2;3;4;5;6}-2 = {0;1;2;3;4}
OFFSET('Input Data'!C2:C6,ROW('Input Data'!C2:C6)-MIN(ROW('Input Data'!C2:C6)),,1) = 'Input Data'!C2,'Input Data'!C3,'Input Data'!C4,'Input Data'!C5,'Input Data'!C6
SUBTOTAL(103,OFFSET('Input Data'!C2:C6,ROW('Input Data'!C2:C6)-MIN(ROW('Input Data'!C2:C6)),,1)) should be read as
SUBTOTAL(103,'Input Data'!C2,'Input Data'!C3,'Input Data'!C4,'Input Data'!C5,'Input Data'!C6) = {1;1;1;0;0}
Subtotal() arrived the visible state of each (cell) reference.
SEARCH("a",'Input Data'!C2:C6) = {1;#VALUE!;1;1;1}
ISNUMBER(SEARCH("a",'Input Data'!C2:C6)) should be read as
ISNUMBER({1;#VALUE!;1;1;1}) = {TRUE;FALSE;TRUE;TRUE;TRUE}
SUBTOTAL(103,OFFSET('Input Data'!C2:C6,ROW('Input Data'!C2:C6)-MIN(ROW('Input Data'!C2:C6)),,1)) = {1;1;1;0;0}
(ISNUMBER(SEARCH("a",'Input Data'!C2:C6))) = {TRUE;FALSE;TRUE;TRUE;TRUE}
{1;1;1;0;0}*{TRUE;FALSE;TRUE;TRUE;TRUE} = {1;0;1;0;0}
SUMPRODUCT({1;0;1;0;0}) = 2
Used Sumproduct() to avoid Array Entry and also to do the Array Formula Task (Looping through the range of cells) and Sumproduct() will result the Sum of the passed values.
Instead of filtering the source data, use the Countifs function and add the filter conditions to the Countifs.
