I have 30 peoples waiting for result out of 10. I want to assign each of 30 peoples: 7, 8 or 10 result randomly.
Peoples in excel are:
A1:A30
Random numbers in Excel
B1, C1, D1 //Which means B1=8, C1=7 and D1=10
The random number to keep on:
E1 to E30
To get a random integer in a range, use the randbetween(start,end) function. This will produce a random integer between the start and end parameters inclusively. Since your numbers are not contiguous, you can simply index them and perform a lookup using vlookup(randbetween(startindex,endindex),...) to get a random value from the table.
Check out this Example Excel File I created.
Use the following steps to get your desired result:
List the people in column A
Create a lookup table in Columns G and H
containing your desired result values.
In your result column (column E in the example below), add the formula: =vlookup(randbetween(1,3),G:H,2,false)
Column E will now contain either the numbers 7,8,or 10 for each person.
If you want to generalize this and allow any number of different values in your result lookup table, you can change the formula in column E to: =vlookup(randbetween(1,counta(G:G)-1),G:H,2,false).
Note: The -1 is only needed if your lookup table has a header row.
This will select a random value from all non-empty rows in your result lookup table.
In the example below, I added a header row to row 1, and the people start in row 2, for clarity.
+---+---------+---+---+---+--------+---+-----------+--------------+
| | A | B | C | D | E | F | G | H |
+---+---------+---+---+---+--------+---+-----------+--------------+
| 1 | Names | | | | RESULT | | Result ID | RESULT Value |
+---+---------+---+---+---+--------+---+-----------+--------------+
| 2 | Person1 | | | | 7 | | 1 | 7 |
+---+---------+---+---+---+--------+---+-----------+--------------+
| 3 | Person2 | | | | 7 | | 2 | 8 |
+---+---------+---+---+---+--------+---+-----------+--------------+
| 4 | Person3 | | | | 10 | | 3 | 10 |
+---+---------+---+---+---+--------+---+-----------+--------------+
| 5 | Person4 | | | | 8 | | | |
+---+---------+---+---+---+--------+---+-----------+--------------+

I have a table (1) in Excel, with two columns, in which at the first column (A) there are some numbers and at the second column (B) there are some letters. I want to have a method to make another table (2) from (1) to put different letters at the first column then to put in each row the numbers that were corresponded to letters in table (1).
For example, let the table (1) is:
| A | B |
|---|---|
| 1 | a |
| 1 | b |
| 2 | a |
| 2 | c |
| 3 | b |
| 4 | b |
What is a method in Excel which make the following combination table:
| a | 1 | 2 | |
| b | 1 | 3 | 4 |
| c | 2 | | |
in which letters are in first column and in each row there are the numbers that were in relationship with the row's letter in table (1)?
As per below screenshot use below formula to C1 cell.
=UNIQUE(B1:B6)
And following formula to D2 cell then drag down
=TRANSPOSE(UNIQUE(FILTER($A$1:$A$6,$B$1:$B$6=C1)))
How can I automate this formula to a large number of cells without needing to manually summing them?
I want to add 1 to each row in a column and then multiply it by the other rows with the same criteria, and after all, I want to subtract 1 of the total value, like this:
=(C2+1)*(C3+1)*(C4+1)*(C5+1)*(C6+1)-1
google-sheets only:
PRODUCT of C2:C6+1 enforcing array context with ARRAYFORMULA:
=ARRAYFORMULA(PRODUCT(C2:C6+1))-1
THis should work:
=EXP(SUMPRODUCT(LN(C2:C+1)))-1
You can do this using two helper columns, where the first one contains the product, and the second the product minus one:
| A | B | C | D | E
==+===+===+====+============+======
1 | | | | 1 | =D1-1
2 | | | x1 | =D1*(C2+1) | =D2-1
3 | | | x2 | =D2*(C3+1) | =D3-1
4 | | | x3 | =D3*(C4+1) | =D4-1
5 | | | x4 | =D4*(C5+1) | =D5-1
Dragging the formulas down should fill them in as expected. Column "E" contains the information you're looking for.
I have a table that looks the following:
| A | B | C |
| 40 | 1 | 1 |
| 180 | 2 | 2 |
| 34 | 1 |
| 2345 | 3 |
| 23 | 1 |
| 1 | 2 |
| 4354 | 3 |
| 2 | 2 |
| 343 | 4 |
| 2 | 2 |
| 45 | 1 |
| 23 | 1 |
| 4556 | 3 |
I want to get the sum of all fields in A where B is neither 1 nor 2 or any other value from colum C. This column contains the values of B where values from A should not be considered for the sum.
I do not know which values B might contain, those values are random and could grow larger, I just wanted to make the example small. My current solution is
{=SUMIF(B1:B13,C1:C2,A1:A13)}
so i can set the lines that should be excluded from the sum in column C. Unfortunately, the current solution does not solve my problem but something different -- it sums up the corresponding entries by value in C. My preferred solution would look something like
=SUMIF(B1:B13,"<>{1, 2}",A1:A13)
=SUMIF(B1:B13,"<>"&C1:C2,A1:A13)
if that were possible (it isn't). I would like to have:
a field (with a list, for example) or column where i can put in the values of B that I do not want to be part of the sum over A.
a method that works with Open Office as well as Excel. I prefer an OO solution.
You could use an array formula so that you can multiply each value in A with a condition. That condition can be any valid Excel formula, so, for instance, you could use MATCH to test if the B value occurs in C:
=SUM((A1:A13)*ISNA(MATCH(B1:B13,$C:$C,0)))
The ISNA function returns TRUE when the match fails, which in a multiplication is used as a numerical value 1. FALSE will make the product 0.
Make sure to enter this as an array formula with Ctrl+Shift+Enter
i am not much familiar with excel formulas and i am trying to get the value of third column on the behalf of second column.
Example:
|---------------------------------------------------------|
| A B C D E |
|-----|----------|----------|--------------|--------------|
|Sr.No| Bar Code | Cat Id | Org BarCode | Org Category |
|---------------------------------------------------------|
| 1 | 89457898 | | 85214784 | 2 |
| 2 | 87414714 | | 63247458 | 3 |
| 3 | 85214784 | | 89457898 | 4 |
| 4 | 63247458 | | ---- | --- |
-----------------------------------------------------------
i just want to update column C by column E on the behalf of column D and B
can any one please tell me the formula, how i can do this?
Use VLOOKUP. Enter the following formula into cell C1 and then copy it down the C column:
=VLOOKUP(B1, D$1:E$4, 2, FALSE)
To cover more than 4 rows, then just update the formula accordingly. If you want to display a certain placeholder value if a value in column B be not found, then you wrap the call to VLOOKUP as follows:
=IFNA(VLOOKUP(B1, D$1:E$4, 2, FALSE), "Not found")
I have 2 tables created in Excel, which are identical in structure and the column and row names.
The only difference is that the first table has data (for the effort in work days) in it while the second is a reference table stating which milestone each cell belongs to. A sample of these tables is:
TBL1:
| | App1 | App2 | App3 |
| T1 | 32 | 12 | 48 |
| T2 | 40 | 16 | 30 |
| T3 | 56 | 18 | 36 |
TBL2:
| | App1 | App2 | App3 |
| T1 | 1 | 2 | 3 |
| T2 | 2 | 1 | 2 |
| T3 | 1 | 1 | 1 |
I want to collate these values so that I get SUM of 1, 2 and 3
| | Days Summation |
| 1 | =32+56+16+18+36 |
| 2 | =40+12+30 |
| 3 | =48 |
So basically, want to find:
IF(COL_VAL_IN_TBL2=1) THEN SUM ALL VALUES IN TBL1 CORRESPONDING TO THE ROW-COL IN RESPECTIVE
Is it possible to get a formula which I can use to do this without using something like a Pivot Table?
You can use sumif() to do this:
Here it's just looking at table2 values and comparing them to your 1, 2, or 3 and then summing the corresponding cells from your table1
SUMIF will do the trick if I understand correctly:
If you put 1 in A1, then 2 in A2, etc. Then enter in B1=SUMIF(TBL2Range,A1,TBL1Range) and copy down. Where TBL2Range is the address of your table.
