I am using the following formula:
=IF(ISERROR(LOOKUP(2^15;SEARCH(MID(A1;1;9);$D$1:$D$100)));"No";"Yes")
this is working perfectly!
Question: I want to search within columns $D$1:$E$100 and not only one column D. How can I modify this to search in two columns?
The easiest way is probably to AND the results of a search in each column. This translates to "if not found in D and not found in E then output No". The logic is as follows:
In column D | ISERROR(lookup in D) | In Column E | ISERROR(lookup in E) | result
N | Y | N | Y | No
N | Y | Y | N | Yes
Y | N | N | Y | Yes
Y | N | Y | N | Yes
=IF(AND(ISERROR(LOOKUP(2^15,SEARCH(MID(A1,1,9),$D$1:$D$100))),
ISERROR(LOOKUP(2^15,SEARCH(MID(A1,1,9),$E$1:$E$100)))),"No","Yes")

Consider the following data below:
| 1st | 2nd | A | B | C | D | E | F | G | H |
|-----|-----|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| y | x | | | 1 | | | | | |
| y | x | | | 1 | | | | | |
| y | x | | | | 1 | | | | |
| | x | 1 | | | | | | | |
| y | | 1 | 1 | 1 | | | | | |
| y | x | | | | | | 1 | | |
| y | | | | | | | | 1 | |
| | x | | | | | 1 | | | |
| | x | | | | | | | | 1 |
| y | x | | | | | | | | 1 |
What I wish to do is to return all column headers (from A to H) that meets the following condition: it should have a value of 1 that is both aligned with a y and x value from the first two columns.
I already have a working array formula to do this, which is as follows:
{=INDEX($C$1:$J$1,SMALL(IF(($A$2:$A$11="y")*($B$2:$B$11="x")*($C$2:$J$11=1),COLUMN($C$1:$J$1)-COLUMN($B$1)),ROW(1:1)))}
However, while I drag this down, it returns two C values and one for D, F and H.
This is since there are two 1's under header C that meets the said condition. What I want is to return unique values, so C should only be returned once. I tried to make use of MATCH and additional COUNTIF instead of the SMALL function, but it is returning an error, and the 'Evaluate formula' feature of Excel isn't helping. Below if the erroneous formula I experimented with:
{=INDEX($C$1:$J$1,MATCH(0,IF(($A$2:$A$11="y")*($B$2:$B$11="x")*($C$2:$J$11=1),COUNTIF($N$1:N1,COLUMN($C$1:$J$1)-COLUMN($B$1))),0))}
A workaround I am currently doing is to make my first formula a "helper column" and then create another formula based from the first formula's result to return only the unique values. However, the double array formula is heavily affecting the efficiency of Excel's calculation due to the huge volume of data I'm dealing with.
Any help/suggestions will do please (no VBA please, since I believe it's not needed here). Thanks!
Insert a helper row. I did it just under your header row before your data. In this row you check to see if there is a 1 that lines up with an x and a y. I assumed this to be non blank, but if its specific values change the formula from <>"" to ="y" or =134 as the case may be. Place the following formula under your first column header you are interested in and copy right.
=--(0<SUMPRODUCT(($B$3:$B$12<>"")*($C$3:$C$12<>"")*(D3:D12=1)))
Then where you want to generate your list in a column without space and sorted in the order the appear in from left to right in the headings, use the following formula and copy down as required:
=IFERROR(INDEX($1:$1,AGGREGATE(15,6,COLUMN($D$2:$K$2)/$D$2:$K$2,ROW(A1))),"")
The above formula put in a blank value when no column heading applies are you have copied the formula down beyond the number of applicable columns.
The above formulas are based on the proof of concept image below. Adjust ranges to suit your needs.
Have you tried without the use of an array formula? I don't know how large the data actually is. But, this might be what you are looking for:
=IF(COUNTIFS($A:$A,"y",$B:$B,"x",C:C,1)>0,C1,"")
Assuming column A is "1st" and "H" is your last column at colunm J. Try pasting the formula at "K1" and drag it to your right until "S1".
I am trying to create a formula in a spreadsheet which has several thousand lines. I am struggling with the part where I need to find out how many children (y) does parent (x) have - counting value until value changes.
I've tried using =IF(A2=OFFSET(A2,-1,0),OFFSET(B2,-1,0)+1,1) which currently gives count to child products.
The ultimate goal would be to output values of all children based on the count.
+---+------+-------+-------+--------------+--+
| 1 | Type | Count | Value | Child Values | |
+---+------+-------+-------+--------------+--+
| 2 | x | 1 | A | B | |
| 3 | y | | B | | |
| 4 | x | 2 | C | D,E | |
| 5 | y | | D | | |
| 6 | y | | E | | |
| 7 | x | 1 | F | G | |
| 8 | y | | G | | |
+---+------+-------+-------+--------------+--+
So if x has 2 children, then the formula would output values of next 2 cells next to it (Child Values). The parents can have up to 8 children and would need to take a number of next cell values based on count.
Is this second part even possible without Excel VBA? I appreciate your help!
This may not be the best answer, but it does avoid VBA. You do have to have a dummy x with no children at the bottom of the list.
Your count formula is:
=IF(A2="y","",MATCH("x",INDEX($A:$A,ROW()+1):INDEX($A:$A,COUNTA($A:$A)),0)-1)
INDEX($A:$A,ROW()+1):INDEX($A:$A,COUNTA($A:$A) will set a reference from the next row down to the end of the list providing there is a value in every cell in column A from A1 to the end of list.
MATCH("x",....,0) will return the row number in the referenced range that the next x occurs on. Minus one from this will give the number of children for the x.
IF(A2="y","",.......) makes sure the count only appears on the x rows.
As you'll only have a maximum of 8 children you could use this formula to return the Child Values.
=IF(B2="","",CONCATENATE(IF(B2>=1,C3,""),IF(B2>=2," ," & C4,""),IF(B2>=3," ," & C5,""),IF(B2>=4," ," & C6,""),IF(B2>=5," ," & C7,""),IF(B2>=6," ," & C8,""),IF(B2>=7," ," & C9,""),IF(B2>=8," ," & C10,"")))
I have a big table, where first columns X is "input column" and range it's changing.
Y - There are more formulas and functions (Vlookup) and 1st column X is a lookup value, and then other columns are calculated from other sheets.
| A | B | C | D | E
1 | X | Y | Y | Y | Y
2 | X | Y | Y | Y | Y
3 | X | Y | Y | Y | Y
4 | X | Y | Y | Y | Y
I am inserting (and deleting) more X values (actual data) and then I use "double click" for all other Y columns to be calculated, BUT it's not good because the X range is not the same. I tried to convert it to table "Ctrl-T", but it's not working very good for me. Maybe I don't use it properly.
Problem:
If I paste a new X column, I need other Y columns to be automatically calculated OR if I delete few X rows, other Y should be also deleted. Now I get something like this:
| A | B | C | D | E
1 | X | Y | Y | Y | Y
2 | X | Y | Y | Y | Y
3 | | N/A | N/A | N/A | N/A
4 | | N/A | N/A | N/A | N/A
or:
| A | B | C | D | E
1 | X | Y | Y | Y | Y
2 | X | Y | Y | Y | Y
3 | X | | | |
What I need:
If I remove X value I need automatically disappear Y values:
| A | B | C | D | E
1 | X | Y | Y | Y | Y
2 | X | Y | Y | Y | Y
If I add X value I need automatically calculate Y values:
| A | B | C | D | E
1 | X | Y | Y | Y | Y
2 | X | Y | Y | Y | Y
3 | X | Y | Y | Y | Y
Hope it's clear, thank you!
For Y Columns, you can add "IF" FORMULA
=if(A1>0,*Y COLUMN FORMULA*,"")
try changing formula to
=iferror(*Y formula,"")
or if it's still slow and if you are changing only X Columns
you can use below code
Private Sub Worksheet_Change(ByVal Target As Range)
If Target.Column = 1 And Target.Count = 1 Then 'CHECK IF THERE IS ANY CHANGE ON X COLUMN
If Target.Value = Empty Then 'CHECK IF X COLUMN HAS BEEN DELETED
Rows(Target.Row).Delete 'IF X COLUMN IS DELETED, DELETS WHOLE ROW
Else
Cells(Target.Row - 1, 2).Resize(1, 4).Copy Cells(Target.Row, 2).Resize(1, 4) 'IF X COLUMN IS ENTERED OR MODIFIED COPIES ABOVE Y COLUMN FORMULAS
End If
End If
End Sub
It seems like a simple problem, but I do not manage to solve it. I have the following tables:
Values
| Key | Value |
|-----|-------|
| A | 1 |
| B | 2 |
| C | 3 |
Results
| Foo | Bar |
|-----|-----|
| A | B |
| C | B |
| A | A |
| B | C |
| ... | ... |
What I am looking for is a final row in the Results table that looks for the key in the Values table, takes its value and sums all the keys in a column (i.e. FOO and BAR). The final result would be:
| Foo | Bar |
|-----|-----|
| A | B |
| C | B |
| A | A |
| B | C |
|-----|-----|
| 7 | 8 |
I have been trying with different VLOOKUP, INDEX and MATCH functions, but still I am not able. Any ideas?
I asume you want a solution without extra columns. Then you are into Array formulas (a.k.a CSE or ControlShiftEnter functions).
Combination of {=SUM(VLOOKUP(...))} doesn't work, but combination of {=SUM(SUMIF(...))} does:
in A12 enter =SUM(SUMIF($A$1:$A$3;A7:A10;$B$1:$B$3)) and save with Ctrl+Shift+Enter. You then can copy this to B12.
Problem is you will need to change the Array function every time you add values to the list A7:B10 (or you initially make the range sufficiently large) ... this would speak more for extra =VLOOKUP() columns as suggested by CustomX.
I'm not sure of other solutions, but you could solve this by using an extra 2 columns, E and F for example.
Enter this in column E: =VLOOKUP(C2;$A$1:$B$3;2;0)
Enter this in column F: =VLOOKUP(D2;$A$1:$B$3;2;0)
Pull the formulas down and add a SUM at the bottom of column C and D to calculate columns E and F.
Extra: These are the columns I used for your examples.
Key = column A
Value = column B
Foo = column C
Bar = column D
I have 2 worksheets with similar table structures which looks like this:
| ID | A | B | C |
+--------+-------+-------+-------+
| 1 | x | x | x |
| 4 | x | x | x |
| 12 | x | x | x |
| 3 | x | x | x |
| |
| ... (thousands of rows)
where x are values. Is it possible to create a new table (or worksheet) combining the two worksheets only where the ID from Worksheet1 is the same (similar to a SQL query) so that the resulting table will be like:
| ID | A | B | C | D | E | F |
+--------+-------+-------+-------+-------+-------+-------+
| 1 | x | x | x | x | x | x |
| 4 | x | x | x | x | x | x |
| 12 | x | x | x | x | x | x |
| 3 | x | x | x | x | x | x |
| |
| etc...
Note that the contents of Worksheet1 is added to and not subtracted from. Is VBA necessary or can it be done with a formula? Thank you.
You can use vlookup to solve this.
vlookup searches for id in sheet2 and returns corresponding value in your specified column number of the selected table.
