Position column is result that I need automatically by function (any combination of builtin function or custom function). Logic here is the minimum value of column (Fail count) and maximum value of column (Total Number) will first position. And minimum value of column (Fail count) and second maximum value of column (Total Number) will second position. It will continue till end data of column A and B.

How about simply sorting you data: Order by Fail Count ascending and, if equal Fail Count, by Total Number descending?
With a formula this becomes an array formula with very bad performance.
Formula in D2downwards:
{=MATCH(B2*10^(MAX($A$2:$A$1000)-A2),LARGE($B$2:$B$1000*10^(MAX($A$2:$A$1000)-$A$2:$A$1000),ROW($A$2:$A$1000)-ROW($A$1)),0)}
This is an array formula. Input it into the cell without the curly brackets and press [Ctrl]+[Shift]+[Enter] to finish.

Sum of the greatest value in one column, plus the sum of the other values in another column

Consider the following sheet/table:
A B
1 90 71
2 40 25
3 60 16
4 110 13
5 87 82
I want to have a general formula in cell C1 that sums the greatest value in column A (which is 110), plus the sum of the other values in column B (which are 71, 25, 16 and 82). I would appreciate if the formula wasn't an array formula (as in requiring Ctrl + Shift + Enter). I don’t have Office 365, I have Excel 2019.
My attempt
Getting the greatest value in column A is easy, we use MAX(A1:A5).
So the formula I want in cell C1 should be something like:
=MAX(A1:A5) + SUM(array_of_values_to_be_summed)
Obtaining the values of the other rows in column B (what I called array_of_values_to_be_summed in the previous formula) is the hard part. I've read about using INDEX, MATCH, their combination, and obtaining arrays by using parenthesis and equal signs, and I've tried that, without success so far.
For example, I noticed that NOT((A1:A5 = MAX(A1:A5))) yields an array/list containing ones (or TRUEs) for the relative position of the rows to be summed, and containing a zero (or FALSE) for the relative position of the row to be omitted. Maybe this is useful, I couldn't find how.
Any ideas? Thanks.
Edit 1 (solution)
I managed to obtain what I wanted. I simply multiplied the array obtained with the NOT formula, by the range B1:B5. The final formula is:
=MAX(A1:A5) + SUM(NOT((A1:A5 = MAX(A1:A5))) * B1:B5)
Edit 2 (duplicate values)
I forgot to explain what the formula should do if there are duplicates in column A. In that case, the first term of my final formula (the term that has the MAX function) would be the one whose corresponding value in column B is smallest, and the value in column B of the other duplicates would be used in the second term (the one containing the SUM function).
For example, consider the following sheet/table:
A B
1 90 71
2 110 25
3 60 16
4 110 13
5 110 82
Based on the above table, the formula should yield 110 + (71 + 25 + 16 + 82) = 304.
Just to give context, the reason I want such a formula is because I’m writing a spreadsheet that automatically calculates the electric current rating of the short-circuit protective device of the feeder of a group of electric motors in a house or building or mall, as required by the article 430.62(A) of the US National Electrical Code. Column A is the current rating of the short-circuit protective device of the branch-circuit of each motors, and column B is the full-load current of each motor.
You can use this formula
=MAX(A1:A5)
+SUM(B1:B5)
-AGGREGATE(15,6,(B1:B5)/(A1:A5=MAX(A1:A5)),1)
Based on #Anupam Chand's hint for max-value-duplicates there could also be min-value-duplicates in column B for corresponding max-value-duplicates in column A. :) This formula would account for that
=SUM(B1:B5)
+(MAX(A1:A5)-AGGREGATE(15,6,(B1:B5)/(A1:A5=MAX(A1:A5)),1))
*SUMPRODUCT((A1:A5=MAX(A1:A5))*(B1:B5=AGGREGATE(15,6,(B1:B5)/(A1:A5=MAX(A1:A5)),1)))
Or with #Anupam Chand's shorter and better readable and overall better style :)
=SUM(B1:B5)
+(MAX(A1:A5)-MINIFS(B1:B5,A1:A5,MAX(A1:A5)))
*COUNTIFS(A1:A5,MAX(A1:A5),B1:B5,MINIFS(B1:B5,A1:A5,MAX(A1:A5)))
The explanation works for bot solutions:
The SUM-part just sums the whole list.
The second line gets the max-value for column A and the corresponding min-value of column B for the max-values in column A and adds or subtracts it respectively.
The third line counts, how many times the corresponding min-value for the max-value occurs and multiplies it with the second line.
Can you try this ?
=MAX(A1:A5)+SUM(B1:B5)-MINIFS(B1:B5,A1:A5,MAX(A1:A5))
What we're doing is adding the max of A to all rows of B and then subtracting the min value of B where A is the max.
If you have Excel 365 you can use the following LET-Formula
=LET(A,A1:A5,
B,B1:B5,
MaxA,MAX(A),
MinBExclude, MINIFS(B,A,MaxA),
sumB1,SUMPRODUCT(B*(A=MaxA)*(B<>MinBExclude)),
sumB2,SUMPRODUCT(B*(A<>MaxA)),
MaxA +sumB1+sumB2
A and B are shortcuts for the two ranges
MaxA returns the max value for A (110)
MinBExclude filters the values of column B by the MaxA-value (25, 13, 82) and returns the min-value of the filtered result (13)
sumB1 returns the sum of the other MaxA values from column B (26 + 82)
sumB2 returns the sum of the values from B where value in A <> MaxA (71 + 60)
and finally the result is returned
If you don't have Excel 365 you can add helper columns for MaxA, MinBExclude, sumB1 and sumB2 and the final result

How to find if a number in a row matches a number in a column, and then automatically offset the number in the column to another value

How to find if a number in a row matches a number in a column, and then automatically offset the number in the column to another value. For example:
Row 0 1 2 3 4 5
Answer x x x x x x
Column
0 100
1 340
2 500
3 266
4 455
5 800
So if "0" in the Row array matches "0" in the Column array, then show 340 and so on. I can to this with nested IF statements but is there an easier way if you have 100s of columns. Thanks

calculating max value ocurrance for each row formula in excel

A B
1 4
2 5
3 6
100 7
1000 8
how can find number of max value of column values for each row.
=COUNTIF(A1:B5,A1:A5) trying this but this gives 0. I expected 2.
Since; 100 and 1000 are the max values of their rows. need only max value times for rows for A
This is one of the ways you can do it.
Should give you 2.

Find SUBTOTAL of List at Specific Interval

In Excel, I need to find which row has total sum of next nearest 100 (minimum 100), next total sum must using next value to get total sum.
As example below, because row number will be use to VLOOKUP a data series only when the sum of value equal or minimum every 100.

Extracting the upper quartile data from an array and placing it in new column

Hi and thanks for any help with this in advance
Below is a hypothetical data set; abundance = count data; mud% = the mud content in which the animals were found; mud bin = bins i've made up depending on the mud%; and UQ = upper quartile of the abundance data from its corresponding mud bin (i.e. the upper quartile for the abundance data in mud bin 1 is 17.25 etc).
Problem:
In excel, for abundance data in each of the four mud bins, I'm wanting to extract any values in the abundance column that are >= the upper quartile value for that particular mud bin and place these in a new column on the same sheet (with no gaps between rows from values that didn't meet the criteria) along with their corresponding mud% value in the neighboring cell. I've added the new columns to the below sheet to give you an idea of what I'm after.
abundance | mud% | mud bin | UQ | | New column | Mud% |
18 10.9 1 18 10.9(mud bid 1)
15 6.5 1 44 38.9(mud bin 1)
6 13.4 1 45 38 (mud bin 2)
13 42.1 1 37 37.8(mud bin 2)
15 36.4 1 etc
44 38.9 1 17.25 etc
22 46 2
30 36.4 2
45 38 2
29 35.3 2
37 37.8 2
29 41.8 2 35.25
11 44.4 3
17 47.8 3
21 40.7 3
15 13.9 3
35 13.9 3
14 13.9 3
15 13.9 3 19
19 12 4
14 12 4
10 12 4
12 12 4
14 12 4
13 12 4
45 9.525 4
66 9.525 4
78 9.525 4 45
The reality is I have a rather large dataset containing abundance data for a number of species, all on the same excel sheet and would greatly appreciate any insight into how I might achieve this in the most efficient manor.
For starters, to make this explanation simpler, I will assume that the last row of data is in row 100.
Populate Upper Quartile values for all line items
First you'll need to use the Quartile formula; however, since you want to find the upper quartile within a bin, you'll have to use an array formula. Put this formula in your UQ column (place in cell D2 and drag down). When entering the formula Be sure to press Ctrl+Shift before pressing Enter
=QUARTILE(IF($C$2:$C$100=C2,$A$2:$A$100,""),3)
The first part of this formula, $C$2:$C$100=C2 is your condition. Everywhere this condition is met, you will get the corresponding value in $A$2:$A$100; otherwise, you'll get a blank value. This will give you an array of abundance values that matches the indicated mudbin, C2. now that you have your subset of data, the quartile function will give you the value in the 3rd quartile (17.25 for mudbin 1, which will be placed next to every row that has a mudbin of 1).
Now that we have all the quartiles, we can get all the abundance values that are greater than the UQ for that mudbin. This is done in two parts
Get abundance values greater than mudbin UQ
First, you need to select one column of cells that has the same number of rows as your data (for example, select cells F2:F100)
Enter the following formula into the formula bar (while F2:F100 are highlighted) and press Ctrl+Shift, then enter
=IF($A$2:$A$100>$D$2:$D$100,$A$2:$A$100,"")
Similar to the IF statement used before, this formula finds all the abundance values that are greater than their corresponding UQ value. Now column F will have an abundance number where it is greater than it's UQ value, and a blank where it is not. Now onto the final step.
Populate abundance values that are greater than the UQ value, without the blanks
Select G2:G100 (your "New Column" in your sample data)
Enter the following formula into the formula bar (while G2:G100 are highlighted) and press Ctrl+Shift, then enter
=INDEX(F2:F100,SMALL(IF(F2:F100<>"",ROW(F2:F100)-1),ROW()-ROW($F$1)))
Looking at the IF statement again, this will find every value in F2:F100 that is not blank, but instead of grabbing the values, we'll keep track of the row number of that non blank value (done by ROW(F2:F100)-1
). Now that we have the row numbers of all the non blank values, we can grab the non-blank values in order and populate them in G2:G100. ROW()-ROW($F$1) is a counter, and SMALL will use the counter to determine the nth smallest number to return. Once we have our row number of the non blank value, INDEX returns that value
Finally, to populate the Mud%, you'll need to use the row number of the non blank values to get the mud% and the mud bin (You have the formula already to get the row number of the non blank value).
It's not a simple answer, but at least you won't have to use VBA.
