I'm trying to sum a specific column in that repeats in some sheets with Macro Excel and I'm quite lost...
I have 10 different sheets and in each one the column that I'm trying to sum is in a different letter. Also, each sheet has a dynamic count of rows.
Could you show me what code I need to write to sum the column in all the sheets at once?
Thank you so much!
You can use this formula to sum or do anything in other sheet:
Example you want to sum the value from A1:A5 in Sheet1 and store it in the B3 in Sheet2, you can use this formula in cell B3 in Sheet2 like this:
=SUM(Sheet1!A1:A3)

I want to add a formula in penthao report to get sum of distinct values in a column. The formula of penatho is similar to excel. So how do i do that in excel. Please help.
I'm not sure if this can be done in a single cell, but it certainly is possible by adding in an extra column. For instance, if your range is A1:A25, you can type this formula in Cell B1 and drag it down to cell B25:
=IF(COUNTIFS(OFFSET($A$1,0,0,ROW(),1),$A1)=1,1,0)
This formula enters a 1 if the value in the range is the first occurrence, and 0 otherwise. The last step is to use a simple sumproduct for the final result:
=SUMPRODUCT($A$1:$A$25,$B$1:$B$25)
I have an excel file with two sheets. I'm trying to reference one sheet's numbers based on text using a formula in the other sheet. I have one sheet that looks something like this -
And another that looks like this -
I would like to put a formula on the first sheet that basically says - look on the second sheet for the values in columns A and B and return me the value in column C. The tricky part is - the values in the first sheet may be inverted or there may be an instance where only one value is present, like in row 1 in the first sheet. Also the formula should only fill in a value if both columns match. All text combinations in Sheet 2 are unique.
So for example - on the first sheet the formula should return 1 in cell C1, 5 in cell C4, and would error in the other 2 cells.
I hope that wasn't too confusing. I would greatly appreciate any help you can give.
Thank you!
Add two sumifs together:
=SUMIFS(G:G,E:E,IF(A1="","",A1),F:F,IF(B1="","",B1))+SUMIFS(G:G,F:F,IF(A1="","",A1),E:E,IF(B1="","",B1))
In large dataset - 250 rows and 1000 columns I need to compare each value in cell with each other in one column and iterate over all column. Heres simplified example of source data:
And this is what I need (formatting not necessary and 2 empty rows not necessary) - if match if found "1" is produced, if no match "2" is produced, if one or both were N/A - "3" is produced:
Comparison should only be "one sided" for example Terry and Joey is the same as Joey and Terry, thus further comparison of already compared pairs is not needed.
Is it possible to do this in Excel 2016 or are there better tools for this?
My thanks to all.
This alternative is a bit complex, but we all solve problems like this differently. If it helps you, please feel free to use it. If not, I can understand since some of these techniques are not particularly common and the resulting formula is a bit unreadable. I did it this way so that I would be able to organize the rows better and read the matching/unmatching indicators more easily. I started by creating a helper column rather than repeat the rows for each individual so that each row shows the two names being compared. This is the formula I used to compare using B8's information is:
=IF(OR(INDIRECT("R"&MATCH($I8,$A$1:$A$6,0)&"C"&COLUMN(),FALSE)="N/A",INDIRECT("R"&MATCH($A8,$A$1:$A$6,0)&"C"&COLUMN(),FALSE)="N/A"),3,IF(INDIRECT("R"&MATCH($I8,$A$1:$A$6,0)&"C"&COLUMN(),FALSE)<>INDIRECT("R"&MATCH($A8,$A$1:$A$6,0)&"C"&COLUMN(),FALSE),2,1))
I am going to try to explain the formula I used as follows:
Without using the helper column, the basic formula for cell B8 is this:
=IF(OR(B$2="N/A",B3="N/A"),3,IF(B$2<>B3,2,1))
and this would work for the range B8:H11. However, when I skip down to B13, the formula would need to change to:
=IF(OR(B$3="N/A",B4="N/A"),3,IF(B$3<>B4,2,1))
and this would work for the range B13:H15. Likewise B17, and B20 would be:
=IF(OR(B$4="N/A",B5="N/A"),3,IF(B$4<>B5,2,1))
=IF(OR(B$5="N/A",B6="N/A"),3,IF(B$5<>B6,2,1))
for their respective ranges. I shy away from formulas where I have to remember what I need to change for each section (heaven forbid I should write any notes or read them if I did).
In order to do this, I used the person column (A) and my helper column (I) to determine which rows to compare.
MATCH($I8,$A$1:$A$6,0)
gives the row of the person value in the Chart from A1:H6 in the comparison
MATCH($A8,$A$1:$A$6,0)
gives the row of the helper value in the Chart from A1:H6 in the comparison
Since the data being compared is always in the same column, I just use COLUMN() to determine which column to use.
In cell B8, MATCH($I8,$A$1:$A$6,0) will tell me it is row 2 and MATCH($A8,$A$1:$A$6,0) will tell me it is row 3. Thus, I want to use the values in Row 2, Column 2 compared against Row 3, Column 2.
To tell Excel to compare Row 2, Column 2 against Row 3, Column 2 is fairly simple, but creating a formula that you can copy from cell to cell without having to modify it each time is not as easy, since each section is a bit different and there could be blank rows in between sections. What I did was to use indirect cell notation using "R1C1" syntax rather than the more common "A1" cell referencing.
In other words in column B8 this:
INDIRECT("R"&MATCH($I8,$A$1:$A$6,0)&"C"&COLUMN(),FALSE)
gives the value in Row 2 (for Terry), Column 2 and
INDIRECT("R"&MATCH($A8,$A$1:$A$6,0)&"C"&COLUMN(),FALSE)
gives the value in Row 3 (for Joey), Column 2 and
In both of the above, I am concatenating and R and a C to the numbers returned by the MATCH() and COLUMN() functions and using the FALSE parameter to tell Excel to treat the concatenated result as "R1C1" notation. In other words, this:
OR(INDIRECT("R"&MATCH($I8,$A$1:$A$6,0)&"C"&COLUMN(),FALSE)="N/A",INDIRECT("R"&MATCH($A8,$A$1:$A$6,0)&"C"&COLUMN(),FALSE)="N/A")
translates to this:
OR(R2C2="N/A",R3C2="N/A")
I realize that the helper column is a burden you did not ask for and I realize that the formula is overly complicated, but I can freely copy this formula to any column that has the two names and it will do a comparison for that day of the week.
Here is a picture of what I am describing:
Added comments
Just to carry the above a bit further, suppose you had a Sheet1 which had the rows of data to be compared and suppose this were limited to 250 rows with the same 7 columns (rather than 1000). I could create another sheet similar to the above along with another helper cell (I put it in A1) to automatically populate the person column and the helper column like this:
New Helper Cell value: 1 (essentially saying to start at the top). This would populate Cell A2 with the following formula:
=IFERROR(IF(INDEX(Sheet1!$A$1:$A$250,NUMBERVALUE(RIGHT($A$1,3)+ROW()))=0,"",INDEX(Sheet1!$A$1:$A$250,NUMBERVALUE(RIGHT($A$1,3)+ROW()))),"")
Basically this is just this formula:
=INDEX(Sheet1!$A$1:$A$250,NUMBERVALUE(RIGHT($A$1,3)+ROW()))
but is checking first to see if it results in zero and then is replacing it with blanks if it is an error. Copying this cell down Column A will populate that column with the names starting at the first row after the data row specified by A. If you have more headings or other data you would need to add additional amountst to the +ROW() portion in both occurrences in the formula. Column I gets populated siimilarly with this:
=IF(A2="","",INDEX(Sheet1!$A$1:$A$250,NUMBERVALUE(LEFT($A$1,3)+1)))
However, this value does not vary from row to row.
Now that the helper columns are populated, you can populate the formula a bit differently from the above (which had used the same sheet) for example in B2:
=IF($A2="","",IF(OR(INDIRECT("Sheet1!R"&MATCH($I2,Sheet1!$A$1:$A$250,0)&"C"&COLUMN(),FALSE)="N/A",INDIRECT("Sheet1!R"&MATCH($A2,Sheet1!$A$1:$A$250,0)&"C"&COLUMN(),FALSE)="N/A"),3,IF(INDIRECT("Sheet1!R"&MATCH($I2,Sheet1!$A$1:$A$250,0)&"C"&COLUMN(),FALSE)<>INDIRECT("Sheet1!R"&MATCH($A2,Sheet1!$A$1:$A$250,0)&"C"&COLUMN(),FALSE),2,1)))
The main difference from the first formula is the off sheet references to "Sheet1" that were added and the extension of the formula to cover 250 rows.
Here is a picture with Cell A1 set to 1:
Here is a picture with Cell A1 set to 3:
Using this, your Sheet1 values remain where they are and you can create a generic comparison sheet to compare the values of various rows of Sheet1. These can be dynamically built by changing the value in A1 or you can create dozens of similar sheets, each differing by the value in A1.
Not sure if any of this makes sense.
Good Luck
Just use a function like this(exemple for cell B4):
=IF(B3=B2;1;IF(B3="N/A";3;2))
Print of it working
Do it for each line and just drag it from the begining to the end.
EDIT: You should do an or in the 2nd if to make surre neither is "N/A"
=IF(OR(B3="N/A";B2="N/A";3;IF(B3=B2);1;2))
So this seems like it should be pretty easy. I could just concatenate and make another column in the data to make a unique combo and get my answer. But that just seems so messy. So here I am reaching out to you fine folks to pick your brains.
I want to look up HQLine and Description in the MPCC tab to return the correct MPCC Code. I tried a couple IF statements with VLOOKUPS but couldn't get it right.
So I need to look up BK3 Positive Crankcase Ventilation (PCV) Connector in the MPCC tab. So it needs to match BK3 and the Long description and then give me the correct code.
Here is the missing data file
Here is the MPCC export list that I want to search
Use SUMIFS.
SUMIFS will find the sum in a table of rows that meet certain criteria. If the MPCC is always a number, and the MQAb-LongDescription is always unique, SUMIFS will find the correct ID.
=SUMIFS(Sheet1!C$2:C$100,Sheet1!A$2:A$100,A2,Sheet1!B$2:B$100,B2)
where Sheet1!A$2:A$100 is the HQAb data, Sheet1!B$2:B$100 is the Long Description data, Sheet1!C$2:C$100 is the MPCC Number data, A2 is the HQLine, and B2 is the Description.
The formula would go in C1.
More information on VLookup with Multiple Criteria
You can use an Index/Match with multiple criteria.
I'm assuming that you will put this formula in "Sheet1", cell C2, and your lookup data is in a sheet called "Sheet2", columns A, B, C from row 2 to 30.
Put this in Sheet1, C2:
=INDEX(Sheet2!$C$2:$C$30,MATCH(A2&B2,Sheet2!$A$2:$A$30&Sheet2!$B$2:$B$30,0))
(Enter with CTRL+SHIFT+ENTER) and drag down.)
Adjust the ranges as necessary.
lets assume your first Table is on sheet 1 in the range A1:C11 and the MPCC codes are located on Sheet 2 in the range A1:C32. Each table has a header row so your data really starts in row 2.
Similar to BruceWayne's answer of using an array formula, you can bring the array calculation inside of a formula and avoid the special array treatment. There are a few functions that can do this. I will demonstrate with the SUMPRODUCT function;
On Sheet 1, Cell C2, use the following formula:
=INDEX('Sheet 2'!$C$1:C$32,SUMPRODUCT((A2='Sheet 2'!$A$2:A$32)*(B2='Sheet 2'!$B$2:B$32)*row('Sheet 2'!$A$2:A$32))
Explanation:
When the value in A2 matches the value in the range in the second sheet it will be true and false when it does not. when True False get used in math operations they are treated at 1 and 0 respectively. Therefore the only result from your two search criteria will be the rows where A2 match is true and B2 match is true and this will have a value of 1. The 1 will then be multiplied by the row number. Since all other results will be 0 since your list is a unique combination, the sum part of sumproduct will sum up to the row number where your unique row is located. This in turn is used by the indext function to return the row to give your unique number.
