I am an occasional Excel user and stuck how to create a dynamic range.
After looking up a text in a table, how can I calculate the range next to this cell, up to the next empty row? Not using VBA.
Thanks for your help.
In H4, formula copied down :
=IFERROR(INDEX(INDEX(C:C,MATCH(F4,A:A,0)):C$1000,MATCH(G4,INDEX(B:B,MATCH(F4,A:A,0)):B$1000,0)),"")
Should you want a dynamic range,
Change C$1000 to INDEX(C:C,MATCH(9.9E+307,B:B)
and
Change B$1000 to INDEX(B:B,MATCH(9.9E+307,B:B))
Then
The H4 copied down formula become :
=IFERROR(INDEX(INDEX(C:C,MATCH(F4,A:A,0)):INDEX(C:C,MATCH(9.9E+307,B:B)),MATCH(G4,INDEX(B:B,MATCH(F4,A:A,0)):INDEX(B:B,MATCH(9.9E+307,B:B)),0)),"")
Edit :
As per Ron Rosenfeld's comment, "should B11 change to 24 and G4 change to 24"
The "Source Table" set up in Excel Table type for dynamic range growing purpose
and
The H4 formula change to :
=IFERROR(LOOKUP(9^9,Table1[price]/(LOOKUP(ROW(Table1[texture]),ROW(Table1[texture])/(Table1[texture]<>""),Table1[texture])=F4)/(Table1[length]=G4)),"")
Combining the Index() and Match() functions usually works well when using two conditions. However, you will need to fill out the entire column A with the "texture" list in order for the below formula to work.
=INDEX(<P1>, MATCH(TRUE, (<T1>=<T2>) + (<L1>=<L2>) > 1,0))
Where <P1> is your entire price column (ex. C2:C15)
Where <T1> is your entire texture column (ex. A2:A15)
Where <T2> is your texture lookup value cell
Where <L1> is your entire length column (ex. B2:B15)
Where <L2> is your length lookup value cell
Let's say that you input your texture value into cell F3, and your length value into cell F4. With the remaining columns remaining as they are in your image, you would use the following formula:
=INDEX(C2:C15, MATCH(TRUE, (A2:A15=F3) + (B2:B15=F4) > 1,0))
Now last time I had to use Index/Match I thought I had to place the formula into an array. However, the above seems to work without it.
If you notice that it's not working as expected, you can place into an array formula by clicking the cell that contains the formula, then clicking the formula box at the top. While in the formula box, simultaneously press Ctrl + Shift + Return. This should then place curly brackets around your entire formula if done properly, as such:
If you have O365 with the SEQUENCE function, you can use, for price:
=IF(G4="","",VLOOKUP(G4,INDEX($B:$C,SEQUENCE(MATCH(TRUE,ISBLANK(INDEX($B:$B,MATCH(F4,$A:$A,0)):INDEX(B:B,ROWS(B:B)-MATCH(F4,$A:$A,0))),0)-1,,MATCH(F4,$A:$A,0)),{1,2}),2,FALSE))
explanation:
get starting row:
MATCH(F4,$A:$A,0)
ending row will be the first blank row after the starting row:
MATCH(TRUE,ISBLANK(INDEX($B:$B,MATCH(F4,$A:$A,0)):INDEX(B:B,ROWS(B:B)-MATCH(F4,$A:$A,0))),0)
Construct the relevant array:
INDEX($B:$C,SEQUENCE(MATCH(TRUE,ISBLANK(INDEX($B:$B,MATCH(F4,$A:$A,0)):INDEX(B:B,ROWS(B:B)-MATCH(F4,$A:$A,0))),0)-1,,MATCH(F4,$A:$A,0)),{1,2})
The above might reduce (with wavy) to:
index(b:c,{9,10,11},{1,2}
Then it's just a matter of applying the VLOOKUP
A more understandable, but longer with more operations, formula available in O365 makes use of LET. The advantage is that one can use names which indicate what each section of the formula does.
For example:
=IF(G4="","",LET(startRow,MATCH(F4,$A:$A,0),numRows,MATCH(TRUE,ISBLANK(INDEX($B:$B,startRow):INDEX($B:$B,ROWS($B:$B)-startRow)),0)-1,
arr,INDEX($B:$C,SEQUENCE(numRows,,startRow),{1,2}),price,XLOOKUP(G4,INDEX(arr,0,1),INDEX(arr,0,2)),price))
Or, using VLOOKUP
=IF(G4="","",VLOOKUP(G4,LET(startRow,MATCH(F4,$A:$A,0),numRows,MATCH(TRUE,ISBLANK(INDEX($B:$B,startRow):INDEX($B:$B,ROWS($B:$B)-startRow)),0)-1,arr,INDEX($B:$C,SEQUENCE(numRows,,startRow),{1,2}),arr),2,FALSE))
Finally, for earlier versions of Excel, you can use this whopper where we replace the SEQUENCE function with a construct like: ROW(INDEX(A:A,firstRow):INDEX(A:A,lastRow))
=IF(G4="","",VLOOKUP(G4,INDEX($B:$C,ROW(INDEX($A:$A,MATCH(F4,$A:$A,0)):INDEX($A:$A,MATCH(F4,$A:$A,0)+MATCH(TRUE,INDEX($B:$B,MATCH(F4,$A:$A,0)):INDEX($B:$B,ROWS($B:$B))="",0)-2)),{1,2}),2,FALSE))
I'm trying to set up a formula to automatically calculate the % change between the most recently added cell in a range (which includes #N/A values at the bottom of the range) and the cell immediately above it. I've been using this formula to obtain the value of the bottom not #N/A cell:
LOOKUP(2, 1/NOT(ISNA(G8:G19)), G8:G19)
Which is working fine. My first thought on how to reach the cell above it was to use OFFSET, like so:
OFFSET(LOOKUP(2, 1/NOT(ISNA(G8:G19)), G8:G19), -1, 0)
but this gives me an error, I think because the lookup function is returning the value in the cell rather than the cell reference. How should I format a function to return the value of the cell above the last non-N/A cell in a range?
Try this alternative for seeking the last non-error, numerical value in column G.
=index(G:G, match(1e99, G:G))/index(G:G, match(1e99, G:G)-1)
Using MATCH to find the last number in a column returns the row number to INDEX. It is a simple matter to subtract 1 from a row number.
One method is to use this array formula:
=INDEX($G$8:$G$19,MATCH(2,IF(NOT(ISNA($G$8:$G$19)),1))-1)
Being an array formula it must be confirmed with Ctrl-Shift-Enter on exiting edit mode instead of enter. If done properly then Excel will put {} around the formula.
I have a excel formula as below,
COUNTIFS($A$8:$A$14,$A8,$B$8:$B$14,$B8)
Here I want the criteria range to be calculated with a simple logic.
Instead of $A$14 I want this value to be calculated A$8+4 i.e. $A$14
In other words, it should get the current row and add 4 to be the criteria range for COUNTIFS
How can this be done is excel within the COUNTIFS formula?
Cheers
You could use =OFFSET(Cell Reference, Rows, Columns) within your formula to achieve this, for example:
=COUNTIFS($A$8:OFFSET($A$8,6,0),$A8, etc...)
Lets assume that the size of your range to be returned is stored in the cell D1.
=COUNTIFS($A$8:INDEX(A:A,ROW($A$8)+D1),$A8,$B$8:INDEX(B:B,ROW($B$8)+D1),$B8)
If you want the range to be defined as a certain number of rows after the current row as stated in your question, then still assuming the number of rows to be added is in D1, you would use the following:
=COUNTIFS($A$8:INDEX(A:A,ROW()+D1),$A8,$B$8:INDEX(B:B,ROW()+D1),$B8)
Expanding on Oliver's answer. The full format of OFFSET allows you to specify a whole range, not just one cell. OFFSET(Reference, Row Offset, Col Offset, Height, Width) so you could do:
OFFSET(A8,0,0,4,1)
This specifies the range A8:A11. In the COUNTIF
=COUNTIF(OFFSET(A8,0,0,4,1),A8,...)
Locking cells with $ works the same way within OFFSET if needed.
Try this:
=COUNTIFS(INDIRECT("$A$8:$A$" & 8+6),$A8,INDIRECT("$B$8:$B$" & 8+6),$B8)
I have been working on an attendance sheet and trying to make the monthly reports automatic. I have asked my previous question on the same issue and got the idea to accomplish the task.
But now I have stuck at one place. I have this below formula:
=COUNTIFS(C5:C27,">0", E5:E27,"G", F5:F27,"CAT1")
The value in cell "C" in the above is coming from the below formula (in cell "C")
=IF((COUNTIF(G5:AK5,"p"))>0,1,0)
I had to add this extra column ("C") only to supply input to my fist formula. My question is - "Can we merge the IF function inside the COUNTIFS to get the result in one go and to eliminate the use of an extra column (column C)"?
To perform these cell reference acrobatics you will likely need to switch to an array formula. Array formulas chew up calculation cycles logarithmically so it is good practise to narrow the referenced ranges to a minimum. A 'helper' column such as you've used in column C can generally reduce calculation cycles and make a worksheet more 'user friendly'.
A COUNTIFS function requires that the ranges being examined are not only the same size but also the same shape. Looking at G5:AK5 is not the same as looking at E5:E35 even though they contain the same number of cells¹.
In the sample data below, you formula is in A1 and uses the 'helper column' C. My array formula is in A2 and does not consider column C ahough it incorporated the logic.
The array formula in A2 is:
=SUM(IF(E5:E27 = "G", IF(F5:F27 = "CAT1", SIGN(COUNTIFS(OFFSET($G$5, ROW($1:$23)-1, 1, 1, 31), $I2)))))
Array formulas need to be finalized with Ctrl+Shift+Enter↵. Once entered into the first cell correctly, they can be filled or copied down or right just like any other formula.
¹Some functions not only accept but welcome cell ranges that are the same number of calls but transposed. Offsetting or staggering the ranges is also an option if the cell ranges are the same size. In difficult cases the TRANSPOSE function can be helpful.
when using the sumif function how do you get the [sum_range] to only add the positive numbers?
so if the function is =sumif(A:H,C34,H:H) how do I only add the positive numbers in column H
In your posted formula =sumif(A:H,C34,H:H) because the test range is A:H , the range that is summed is actually H:O (the shape of A:H = 8 columns starting at top left cellof H:H) Not sure if this is what you intended. Given the overlap in the criterai and sum ranges I suspect not. BTW this means cell J34 will always be included in the sum
SUMIFS is only available in Exel 2007 and later and would work for =SUMIFS(H:H, A:A, C34, H:H, ">0")
Unlike the range and criteria arguments in the SUMIF function, in the SUMIFS function, each criteria_range argument must contain the same number of rows and columns as the sum_range argument.
If you are using Excel 2003 or earlier, or if the range behviour described above is required, you can use somthing like,
=SUM(H:H*(A:A=$C$34)*(H:H>0))
or
=SUM(H:O*(A:H=$C$34)*(H:O>0)) ' this one won't work as is, you will have to resolve the overlapping ranges
entered as an array formula (Ctrl-Shift-Enter)
You can use the SUMIFS function:
=SUMIFS(H:H, A:H, C34, H:H, ">0")
The sum_range is at the beginning in this case, instead of the end in this case
