Could somebody explain this formula to me,
- how does it work,
- and when to use it :
=IF(ISNUMBER(D2),D2,IF(ISNUMBER(F2),F2,IF(ISNUMBER(H2),H2,"")))
It says if d2 is a number. Show d2 otherwise if f2 is. Number. Show f2. Else if h2 is a number. Show h2.
If none of them are numbers show a blank string

Does anyone knows any formula to extract the number with separation (dot, comma) from cell A1 to cell B1?
Example, I want to extract 2,590.00 from cell A1 which has the following value:
[sum: 2,590.00]
I got the formula below that works nice, however is just getting all numbers e.g. 259000
{=TEXTJOIN("",TRUE,IFERROR((MID(A1,ROW(INDIRECT("1:"&LEN(A1))),1)*1),""))}
I appreciate every support
Under O365 you can try the following in cell B1 which is a very concise approach:
=TEXTAFTER(TEXTBEFORE(A1,"]"), "sum: ")
Here is the output:
For excel-2019, similar idea but using SUBSTITUTE instead to remove the prefix ([sum: ) and the suffix (]):
=SUBSTITUTE(SUBSTITUTE(A1,"[sum: ",""),"]","")
You can use a formula like as below:
• Formula used in cell B1
=MAX(IFERROR(--MID(SUBSTITUTE(A1,"]",""),ROW($ZZ1:INDEX($ZZ:$ZZ,LEN(A1))),LEN(A1)),0))
• With OFFICE 365, you can try this in cell C1
=--INDEX(TEXTSPLIT(A1,{":","[","]"},,1),,2)
• Formula used in cell D1
=SUBSTITUTE(TEXTAFTER(A1," "),"]","")*1
I want to make an excel formula so that, I can test out 3 columns and if they are true then to set a new value to the 4rth column.
I have this formula:
=IF(AND(A1="ALFA ROMEO"; B1="159"; C1="55");D1="2016";D1="")
and I want to check if A1 and B1 and C1 are true then to set D1 equal to a certain value.
*I've tried many complex ways to achieve it but this formula is the only one that doesnt pop up an error, but still gives back the Value FALSE(Not in D1, but in the cell I tried it). I've also tried seperating with commas etc...
Any possible help or way I could achieve the check?
It should come from the quote ("") around the number
I've try this
=SI(ET(A1="ALFA ROMEO";B1=159;C1=55);2016;"")
and it worked for me (sorry it's in french).
Maybe try to change cell format from the column B and C.
And also put the formula in cell D1 or in the cell you want the value.
You're almost there, but you need to put this formula here in cell D1 in order to fill the value of D1:
=IF(AND(A1="ALFA ROMEO", B1=159, C1=55),2016,"")
Keep out: in my locale I'm working with commas, while you might be working with semicolons, so your actual formula might be (in cell D1):
=IF(AND(A1="ALFA ROMEO"; B1=159; C1=55);2016;"")
Also, no need to put numerical values (159, 55) as strings, as you can see.
Edit: about turning B1 into a string:
I've just created this formula:
=IF(TEXT(B1,"0")="159","TRUE","FALSE")
This allows you to convert B1 into text.
So, your formula might turn into something like:
=IF(AND(A1="ALFA ROMEO", TEXT(B1, "0")="159", TEXT(C1,"0")="55"),2016,"")
(Again, mind the locale settings (commas and semicolons))
This array formula allows me to populate D4 by searching for the first non blank value in Column A (see link - https://exceljet.net/formula/get-first-non-blank-value-in-a-list)
=INDEX(A2:A1000,MATCH(FALSE,ISBLANK(A2:A1000),0))
However, I'd like to refine it such that the column being searched changes depending on the value entered in C4.
For example, if the value in C4 were 1 than I'd get the value 13.86. If the value in C4 were 2 I'd get the value 10. See here -

I tried adapting the above array formula with an IF function but no success. I'm a total novice so be kind :)
=IF(C4=1,(INDEX(A2:A1000,MATCH(FALSE,ISBLANK(A2:A1000)))),IF(C4=1,(INDEX(B2:B1000,MATCH(FALSE,ISBLANK(B2:B1000)))),0))
In D5 as an array formula (with CSE),
=INDEX(A2:B1000, MATCH(FALSE, ISBLANK(INDEX(A2:B1000, 0, C4)),0), C4)
Okay. It is gonna look daunting but trust me if you look closely it really is a very simple combined with few other formulas
Enter the below formula in D4 or desired cell and press Ctrl+Shift+Enter
=INDEX(INDIRECT(SUBSTITUTE(ADDRESS(1,K4,4),"1","")&1&":"&SUBSTITUTE(ADDRESS(1,K4,4),"1","")&100),MATCH(FALSE,ISBLANK(INDIRECT(SUBSTITUTE(ADDRESS(1,K4,4),"1","")&1&":"&SUBSTITUTE(ADDRESS(1,K4,4),"1","")&100)),0))
Here K4 is my input cell(which is C4 for your case) and I have considered a range of 1:100 unlike yours of 1:1000. So change accordingly.
EXPLANATION
ADDRESS function returns a text of address based on input you give. For input 8 it'll give H1
=INDEX(INDIRECT(SUBSTITUTE("H1","1","")&1&":"&SUBSTITUTE("H1","1","")&100),MATCH(FALSE,ISBLANK(INDIRECT(SUBSTITUTE("H1","1","")&1&":"&SUBSTITUTE("H1","1","")&100)),0))
SUBSTITUTE function then strips down the 1 and gives output only H, which is then used with INDIRECT function to get the range.
=INDEX(INDIRECT("H"&1&":"&"H"&100),MATCH(FALSE,ISBLANK(INDIRECT("H"&1&":"&"H"&100)),0))
=INDEX(INDIRECT("H1:H100"),MATCH(FALSE,ISBLANK(INDIRECT("H1:H100")),0))
Rest is exactly your formula.
I have tried googling for some time now, but I have not yet found the answer.
If I have an number (positive, negative, or equal to zero) in, let's say bracket A1, and I wish bracket A2 to show "+" if A1 is positive, "-" if A1 is negative or "0" if A1 is zero, does anyone know how to code this in excel?
Thank you.
In cell A2 enter this formula:
=A1
Apply the following number formatting to cell A2: +;-;0
That's it.
Basically what you're asking is a duplicate of the question asked here:
https://superuser.com/questions/612434/how-can-i-escape-special-characters-in-cell-formatting-in-excel
So to repeat the answer, simply put a backslash ( \ ) in front of whatever character would otherwise have a special function.
I have a row that will have weekly values entered. Column B has the initial value, and E has the calculation; as I add values to C, D and so on, I want the calculation to skip the previous columns value when the next column gets a value.
B1-C1=E1 BUT when a value is added to D1, E1 would update to B1-D1=E1
Sorry for the horrible description. This is probably answered somewhere on this site but I am not sure what terms to search.
Many thanks!
you can use an if statement. I am not 100% sure of your problem but something like this might be helpful.
if(A1, A1, 0)
So for your example provided.
=B1-if(D1, D1, C1)
This says if there is a value in D1 use D1 else use C1. This works in this example, because if
D1 is empty or 0 you will use the other cell. This may change for any given problem.
Use this if function in E1:
=IF(D1>0,B1-D1,IF(C1>0,B1-C1,B1))
Then enter a value in B1, then C1 then D1 to see the results.
According to your question, you only have room for two entries after the default B1 value. This statement will handle that.
If you need more fields, nest more if functions. But if's can only be nested 7 deep, so you can only have an initial value in B1 and 7 more cells, C1 to I1 with your formula in J1
If you actual data is as simple as your sample data you could just use:
=IF(LEN(D2)>0, B2-D2,B2-C2)
You could also use:
=IF(ISBLANK(D2), B2-C2, B2-D2)
if you prefer but Len is a little shorter and I believe the ISBLANK() function has flaws, If you have a formula in D2 that has a calculation and you set the result to "" then it will pick up as false. It depends on your needs.
I would do the following.
In E1 paste the following:
=A1-INDEX(B1:D1,1,COUNT(B1:D1))
The count formula will tell how many values are present in the range of B:D column. This will be used to catch the last column with an index formula which will be deducted form A1.
One thing is very important! The values from A to D has to be written in sequence, if one column is missing than the calculation will be false.
Hope I could help!
