I want to multiply x*y until x>=20, then multiply z that value and have the results displayed as two values, the multiple and multiple*z
The question behind the formula is, how many boxes of x capacity do I need to have a total capacity of 20 liters and how much does that cost.
x = volume of bottle
y = number of bottles in a box
z = price per box
This could be done very easily by hand, but I've been playing (with little effect) in excel for a while and would like a solution.
I hope that makes sense
I rather think what you would like is the formula provided by #Jeeped but for:
I want to multiply x*y until x>=20, then multiply z that value and have the results displayed as two values, the multiple and multiple*z
label two arrays from 1 to 20 for columns and rows as shown, populate V1 with the price per box and in B2:
=IF(AND($A2*B$1>20,A2>=20),"",$A2*B$1)
and in X2:
=IF(B2="","",$V$1*B2)
with both formulae copied across 19 columns and those two sets of 20 formulae then copied down 19 rows. The result should be similar to:

I need to create a table (either pivot or normal) that combines data laid out in this grid:
The grid shows the count of items by their size, broken down by width on one axis and height on the other. I can't figure out a way to correlate the sizes with the data. The only way I have gotten it to work so far is by manually creating table rows one by one using formulas that reference each cell.
For example, the table should read like this:
Size
Count
3 X 3
0
3 X 4
0
3 X 6
20
I'm eventually going to use this table to create a Pareto chart, but if I can create the chart from this grid that would work too.
If you can get columns K and L below to show your distinct combinations, which shouldn't take more than several minutes, then the rest is pretty easy.
Column M is simply concatenating your results to show your data how you desire.
M2 formula: =CONCAT(K2, " x ", L2)
Then column N is using a formula against your data, referencing your values in columns K and L.
N2 formula: =INDEX($A$1:$H$8,MATCH(K2,$A$1:$H$1,0),MATCH(L2,$A$1:$A$8,0))
Drag 'em down and that's it.
I'm attempting to use pivot tables to interpolate a value from a large, multi variable table in excel. Is there any way to interpolate on a range within a Calculated Field? (Or any other good way to accieve this).
What I'm trying to do -
I have the following table, and I'm trying to interpolate the Delta for each combination of Alpha and Beta at a Gamma of 5. With this simplified data, the answer would 15 for each set Alpha/Beta. In my real data, the Gammas and Deltas are not always nice even arrays, though they are sorted properly.
Alpha Beta Gamma Delta
A X 0 10
A X 10 20
A Y 0 10
A Y 10 20
B X 0 10
B X 10 20
B Y 0 10
B Y 10 20
What I've tried
Formula -> Calculated Field -> Formula: = INTERP(5,Gamma,Delta)
*Note that INTERP is a custom linear interpolater. yv = INTERP(xv,x,y).
Excel won't let me do that, so I was wondering if there is a better way? I could obviously just manualy pull the interpolation arrays, but my data has ~50 Alphas and ~50 Betas, so that would take a very long time. I've tried automatically pulling the arrays with a combination of INDEX and MATCH (using array formulas), and it works. The only problem is that it becomes so slow that every time the cells recalculate, it ties up the program for ~30 seconds or so.
Any ideas would be appreciated. I'm thinking of using pivot tables, but a regular formula solution or VBA solution would work too. Thanks!
Need to try and get a result based on possible 3 lookups in Excel.
I have a price for a certain size hire vehicle and need to check to see if I want to add in a supplement or not based on entry into a cell in another sheet.
I have a sheet called Keys that has the criteria I base my calculations on and a second sheet I have the rates loaded for all the vehicle sizes available, cars to coaches. I would like to calculate the supplement for customers of the move to a larger vehicle or even a reduction dependent on what I choose.
Keys data is:
Vehicle Sizes
Range # Seats Rate Column Supplement Range to work on
1 4 R N
2 7 S Y 1
3 16 T N
4 24 U Y 5
5 29 V N
6 35 W N
7 45 X N
So for example if the I have chosen to calculate the supplement on the 7 seater then I want to calculate the difference between the 7 seater and 4 seater and that is my supplement. I have also chosen to calculate the reduction between the 29 and 24 seater vehicles.
Am trying to figure out how to combine multiple IF and LOOKUP, if they are correct or not.
So basically IF I have a Y in the supplement column on Keys then calculate the difference in the rates based on the Rate Column based on the Range to work on.
Any suggestions or help appreciated
Sorry think I forgot about the actual rates. They are stored on another sheet as per below. the charges are per service, like an airport transfer etc., they are in VN Dong so thats why they are in the 100,000 + range.
R S T U V W X
Rate with Surcharge
4 7 16 24 29 35 45
340000 373000 394000 735000 780000 1050000 1210000
I have tried to tweak the answer from pnuts but getting a bit lost, note sure if I need the MATCH in the formula of not.
I doubt this will suit but it may help to clarify your requirements:
=IF($D2="N","",INDEX(Sheet2!$Q$2:$X$4,MATCH(F$1,Sheet2!$Q$2:$Q$4,0),CODE($C2)-80)-INDEX(Sheet2!$Q$2:$X$4,MATCH(F$1,Sheet2!$Q$2:$Q$4,0),CODE($C2)+$E2-$A1-81))
in F2 copied across and down to suit.
I have the following excel setup that is extremely massive but here is a simplified setup:
Site1 X-Given Y-Given Site2 X-New-Given Y-Interpolated
A 10 400 A 25 550
A 20 500 A 25 550
A 30 600 A 26 560
A 40 700 B 27 570
A 50 800 B 30 600
B 10 400 B 15 450
B 20 500 B 25 550
B 30 600 B 30 600
What I'm trying to accomplish is to have each Y-Interpolated only interpolate based upon its specific site and not have any cross over. So site A would only interpolate with site A, and same with site B... so on and so forth.
I'm using the interpolate excel addin which has the following syntax:
=interpolate(x_array,y_array,x_given)
Thanks for the help!
You could try this worksheet function alternative... with data in A1:E9, enter this in F2 and fill down:
=FORECAST(E2,IF(MMULT(ROW(B$2:B$9)-LOOKUP(0,(B$2:B$9>=E2)/(A$2:A$9=D2),ROW(B$2:B$9))-0.5,1)^2<1,C$2:C$9),B$2:B$9)
Update: Here's a slightly shorter alternative entered with CTRL+SHIFT+ENTER
=PERCENTILE(IF(A$2:A$9=D2,C$2:C$9),PERCENTRANK(IF(A$2:A$9=D2,B$2:B$9),E2,20))
This assumes a positive relationship between variables and returns values at both boundaries.
Background
If you're going to use worksheet functions for this, the obvious approach is to find the neighboring two points to X: (X1,Y1) and (X2,Y2). Then calculate Y using:
Y = Y1 + (X - X1) * (Y2 - Y1) / (X2 - X1)
The problem is that this leads to a lengthy formula involving six INDEX/MATCH combinations and six more conditions for restricting data to the specified site. This leads one to look for other options...
1. The first formula looks complicated but all it's doing is applying a straight line fit based on the two neighboring points for the same site. Evaluating the formula for the third row above - by highlighting each part of the formula and pressing F9 - gives:
=FORECAST(26,{FALSE;500;600;FALSE;...},{10;20;30;40;...})
FORECAST ignores non-numeric data so the result is the same as just using {500,600} and {20,30} for the 2nd and 3rd arguments. You can use F9 on other parts of the formula to break it down further - I'll leave details to you. (The MMULT(...,1) part just changes the argument to an array so you can enter the formula without array-entry.)
2. The second formula is easier to follow. First note that in Excel percentiles are calculated by linear interpolation and the IF part is just restricting the numeric data to the specified site. Assuming data is increasing it follows that we can find the k-value in the PERCENTILE formula that matches the lookup value in the x-range and return the y-range value with that k-value. For the example in question:
26 =PERCENTILE({10,20,30,40,50},0.4)
560 =PERCENTILE({400,500,600,700,800},0.4)
To calculate the value of 0.4 the PERCENTRANK can be used which is inverse to PERCENTILE:
0.4 =PERCENTRANK({10,20,30,40,50},26)
0.4 =PERCENTRANK({400,500,600,700,800},560)
The formula above follows by combining these two functions, the last argument is set to 20 for full precision (Excel stores values internally to around 15-17 digits of precision).
Because the tool that you're using is based on a .xll add in for excel, you(or we) can not modify the code or create a custom version of interpolate that allows adding conditions.
Instead, you'll have to filter your data apart and then run the custom-function on the filtered datasets.
I am trying to generate some ranges for a problem I am working on. These rangers are going to be based on the sum of the ratio's of a bunch of numbers. So for example, the constant's are 5 6 and 7.
The ranges I get will be 5/x + 6/y + 7/z = S
I want x, y, and z to come out of a list of numbers I have - say .5, .6, .7, .8, .9, and 1
So If I run 100 iterations of this, I want the spreadsheet to randomly fill a value in X from that list of numbers, another random selection for y, and yet another for z.
And like I said, I want that sum, S, to be calculated 100 times in such a way that I will get a range of values for S.
I have been trying to figure out how to do this without the use of macros.
Here's one way to do it. Create a table of x, y, and z input values. Put a column to the left of the table with the number of each input value (1...N). Say that you have 10 potential input values for each. So your table is in A1:D10 with 1 through 10 in column A and the x values in B, y values in C, and z valued in D.
Then you can select a random value of the x values by writing =VLOOKUP(10*RAND()+1,$A$1:$D$10,2,TRUE). This randomly selects a number between 0 and 10 and looks up the x value matching the A column that matches the number, rounded down. E.g. the random number is 4.3 -- then it will select the 4th value. Replace the third parameter in the VLOOKUP column with 3 for y values and 4 for z values...
If you don't have any other data in columns A:D, you can generalize this with =VLOOKUP(count($A:$A)*RAND()+1,$A:$D,2,TRUE).
