I am experimenting with excel's functions. Say I have the following example values
Column
A1 - "Andrew"
B1 - "Morton"
B2 - "Andrew"
A2 - "Morton"
A3 - "2"
Why is my formula not printing the output 2?
=INDEX($A$3:$A$3,
MATCH(A1, ($A$1=$B$2:$B$2) * ($B$1 = $A$2:$A$2), 0))
The following prints the correct output 2 with single criteria.
=INDEX($A$3:$A$3,
MATCH(A1,$B$2:$B$2,0),1)
Thanks in advance.
These type of formulas don't work well with single cell ranges, as per your example.
Lets assume first names in A2:A10 and last names in B2:B10 - if you want to find the row which matches both names and return the corresponding value from C2:C10 you can use this "array formula":
=INDEX($C$2:$C$10,MATCH(1,($A$2:$A$10="Andrew")*($B$2:$B$10="Morton"),0))
confirm with CTRL+SHIFT+ENTER
....or you can add an extra INDEX function to avoid array entry
=INDEX($C$2:$C$10,MATCH(1,INDEX(($A$2:$A$10="Andrew")*($B$2:$B$10="Morton"),0),0))

In this sheet, I have a range in B1:C18, where I want to return column C values in G column where all values match with column B with the condition value in E1.
But I'm getting only top value from the Column C but not all (i.e., Sep 2 has two values 443 and 472) but it is returning only 443.
Could anyone look at the formula return in G1 as
={IF(ISERROR(INDEX($B$1:$C$18,SMALL(IF($B$1:$B$18=$E$1,ROW($B$1:$B$18)),ROW(1:1)),2)),"",
INDEX($B$1:$C$18,SMALL(IF($B$1:$B$18=$E$1,ROW($B$1:$B$18)),ROW(1:1)),2))}.
Get the Answers in a column
Ok, I checked and your formula and it is correct too. I have modified it to be an ArrayFormula in the Google Sheets. Just check.
Formula 1
=ArrayFormula(IF(ISERROR(INDEX($B$1:$C$18,SMALL(IF($B$1:$B$18=$E$1,ROW($B$1:$B$18)),ROW(1:1)),2)),"", INDEX($B$1:$C$18,SMALL(IF($B$1:$B$18=$E$1,ROW($B$1:$B$18)),ROW(1:1)),2)))
You can try this formula too -
Formula 2
=ArrayFormula(IFERROR(INDEX($C$1:$C$18, SMALL(IF(E$1=$B$1:$B$18, ROW($C$1:$C$18),""), ROW())),""))
Just copy the formula in the cells of the respective column and you are good to go.
Get the Answers in a single cell
Use this Array Formula for your Google Sheets -
=ArrayFormula(TEXTJOIN(", ",TRUE,IF(B1:B18 = E1,C1:C18,"")))
It will aggregate all the values in a single cell.
Maybe you can try
=iferror(split(textjoin(", ", 1, filter(C2:C, B2:B=E1)), ", ", 1))
and see if that works ?
I am going crazy over this. It seems so simple yet I can't figure this out. I have two worksheets. First worksheet is my data. Second is like an answer key. Upon checking checking, A1:B1 in Sheet 1 is a match with the conditions in Row 52 in SHEET 2, therefore, the value in Column C is "MGC". What is the formula that will perform this function? It's really hard to explain without the data so I pasted a link of the sample spreadsheet. Thank you so much in advance.
sample spreadsheet here. https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1_AjuNfCdGfEM-XkqPa6W4hSIxQg4NM2Vg4c2C1pQ_vQ/edit?usp=sharing

In Sheet2, insert a column in front of Column A and put the formula in A2 =C2&D2.
Then in Sheet1, Cell C2 the formula =vlookup(A2&B2,Sheet2!A:B,2,0).
the first make a concatenated key to lookup, then the second looks up that key.
How about a index(match())? If I've understood correctly you need to match across both the A and B column in sheet one, checking for the relevant values in B and C on sheet 2 to retrun worksheet 2 column a to worksheet 1 column c.
third version try:
=INDEX(Sheet2!$C$1:$C$360,MATCH(Sheet1!A1&Sheet1!B1,Sheet2!$B$1:$B$360&Sheet2!$C$1:$C$360,0))
Basically what this does is use concatenation, the & operator, to specify you are looking for "Criteria A" & "Criteria B" in sheet 1, which makes the string "Criteria A Criteria B", which is supplied in the first part of the match function.
In the second it then says match this against all of my variables in sheet 2 in the same way with concantenation.
The final part of match function (0) specifies you want an 'exact' match
It then supplied this as a reference to the index function, which then finds the row intersecting with the value you want, and returns that.
As noted here https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/kb/59482 this is an array formula, so it behaves differently, and must be input differently. https://support.office.com/en-za/article/Guidelines-and-examples-of-array-formulas-7d94a64e-3ff3-4686-9372-ecfd5caa57c7
There are (at least) 2 ways you could do this without VBA.
USING A SORTED LIST
The first relies on the assumption that your data can be re-sorted, so that everything "Unreported" is in the top, and everything "reported" is together below that (or vice versa). Assuming that this is the case (and it appears to already be sorted like this),we will use the function OFFSET to create a new range which shows only the values that align with either being "Unreported" or "Reported".
Offset takes a given reference to a point on a sheet, and then moves down/up & left/right to see what reference you want to return. Then, it returns a range of cells of a given height, and a given width. Here, we will want to start on Sheet2 at the top left, moving down until we find the term "Unreported" or "Reported". Once that term is found, we will want to move one column to the right (to pull column B from sheet 2), and then have a 'height' of as many rows as there are "unreported" or "reported" cells. This will look as follows in A1 on sheet 1, copied down:
=OFFSET(Sheet2!$A$1,MATCH(A1,Sheet2!A:A,0)-1,1,COUNTIF(Sheet2!A:A,A1),1)
This says: First, start at cell A1 on sheet2. Then find the term in A1 (either "unreported" or "reported", on sheet2!A:A (we subtract 1 because OFFSET starts at A1 - so if your data starts at A1 we need to actually stay at "0". If you have headers on sheet2, you will not need this -1). Then, move 1 column to the right. Go down the rows for as many times as Sheet2 column A has the term found in Sheet1 A1. Stay 1 column wide. Together, this will leave you with a single range on sheet2, showing column B for the entire length that column A matches your term in sheet1 A1.
Now we need to take that OFFSET, and use it to find out when the term in Sheet1 B1 is matched in Sheet2 column B. This will work as follows:
=MATCH(B1,[FORMULA ABOVE],0)
This shows the number of rows down, starting at the special OFFSET array created above, that the term from B1 is matched in column B from sheet2. To use this information to pull the result from column C on sheet 2, we can use the INDEX function, like so:
=INDEX([FORMULA ABOVE],MATCH(B1,[FORMULA ABOVE],0))
Because this would be fairly convoluted to have in a single cell, we can simplify this by using VLOOKUP, which will only require the OFFSET function to be entered a single time. This will work as follows:
=VLOOKUP(B1,[FORMULA ABOVE],2,0)
This takes the OFFSET formula above, finds the matching term in B1, and moves to the 2nd column to get the value from column C in sheet2. Because we are going to use VLOOKUP, the offset formula above will need to be adjusted to provide 2 columns of data instead of 1. Together, this will look as follows:
FINAL FORMULA FOR SHEET1, C1 & COPIED DOWN
=VLOOKUP(B1,OFFSET(Sheet2!$A$1,MATCH(A1,Sheet2!A:A,0)-1,1,COUNTIF(Sheet2!A:A,A1),2),2,0)
OPTION USING ARRAY FORMULAS
The above method will only work if your data is sorted so that the REPORTED and UNREPORTED rows are grouped together. If they cannot be sorted, you can use an ARRAY FORMULA, which essentially takes a formula which would normal apply to a single cell, and runs it over an entire range of cells. It returns an array of results, which must be reduced down to a single value. A basic array formula looks like this [assume for this example that A1 = 1, A2 = 2...A5 = 5]:
=IF(A1:A5>3,A1:A5,"")
Confirm this (and all array functions) by pressing CTRL + SHIFT + ENTER, instead of just ENTER. This looks at each cell from A1:A5, and if the value is bigger than 3, it gives the number from that cell - otherwise, it returns "". In this case, the result would be the array {"";"";"";4;5}. To get the single total of 9, wrap that in a SUM function:
=SUM(IF(A1:A5>3,A1:A5,""))
In your case, we will want to use an array formula to see what row in Sheet2 matches A1 from Sheet1, and B1 from Sheet1. This will look like this:
=IF(Sheet2!$A$1:A$100=A1,IF(Sheet2!$B$1:$B$100,ROW($B$1:$B$100),""),"")
This checks which rows in column A from sheet 2 match A1. For those that do, it then checks which rows in column B from sheet 2 match B1. For those, it pulls the row number from that match. Everything else returns "". Assuming no duplicates, there should only 1 row number which gets returned. To pull that number from the array of results, wrap the whole thing in a MATCH function. Now that you have the row number, you can use an INDEX function to pull the result in Column C with that row, like this:
FINAL ARRAY FORMULA METHOD
=INDEX($C$1:$C$100,MAX(IF(Sheet2!$A$1:A$100=A1,IF(Sheet2!$B$1:$B$100,ROW(Sheet2!$B$1:$B$100),""),"")))
Remember to confirm with CTRL + SHIFT + ENTER instead of just ENTER, when you type this formula. Note that I didn't refer to all of Sheet2!A:A, because array formulas run very slowly over large ranges.
The following formula should work without making any changes to the datasheets.
=INDEX(Sheet2!$A$1:$A$360,MATCH(Sheet1!A1,IF(Sheet2!$C$1:$C$360=Sheet1!B1,Sheet2!$B$1:$B$360),0))
Remember to save this formula as an array with CTRL+SHIFT+ENTER
Documentation on how to use INDEX and MATCH against multiple criteria can be found on Microsoft Support.
It's not clear what you want to do with the multiples that do not have corresponding matches. txed is listed as Unreported twice in Sheet1; kntyctap is listed as Unreported three times. There are only one corresponding match on Sheet2 for each of these.
Non-array Standard Formulas for multiple criteria matches
For Excel 2010 and above use this standard formula in Sheet1!C1:
=IFERROR(INDEX(Sheet2!$A$1:$A$999,AGGREGATE(15,6,ROW(1:999)/((Sheet2!$B$1:$B$999=A2)*(Sheet2!$C$1:$C$999=B1)), COUNTIFS(A$1:A1, A1, B$1:B1, B1))), "")
For version of Excel prior to 2010 use this standard formula in Sheet1!C1:
=IFERROR(INDEX(Sheet2!$A$1:$A$999, SMALL(INDEX(ROW($1:$999)+((Sheet2!$B$1:$B$999<>A1)+(Sheet2!$C$1:$C$999<>B1))*1E+99, , ), COUNTIFS(A$1:A1, A1, B$1:B1, B1))), "")
I've handled error with the IFERROR function in that latter formula. Excel 2003 and previous may have to use an IF(ISERROR(..., ...)) combination.
I have an excel workbook that I need some help with INDEX and MATCH or any other Formula that can get me my end result.
Here is sheet1:
SIT_ID METER SUSE_CD
10834282 DT0061 B
10834282 AW7931 P
21676286 CQ9635 P
21676286 DP4838 B
21726281 AW7880 P
21726281 DT0032 B
Here is Sheet2:
Site ID B P
10834282
21676286
21726281
Ultimately what I am trying to do is on Sheet2 is put the Meter that = B for the SITEID in the column and then Put the Meter that = P in the Same row.
I have never used Index or Match and I looked it up online but I am confused and hoping someone can help me with the correct formula or point me in the right direction.
Thanks so much!
INDEX first takes a range, then a row number, an optional column number (and an optional area number).
MATCH takes a value to lookup, an array and a mode.
In your problem you can use the following in Sheet2 cell B2:
=INDEX(Sheet1!$B$2:$B$7, MATCH($A2, IF(Sheet1!$C$2:$C$7=B$1,Sheet1!$A$2:$A$7), 0))
This formula is an array formula and will work with Ctrl+Shift+Enter and then you can fill it to the other cells.
I had to use an IF because there're two conditions to check.
EDIT: Use this one if your cell formats are different:
=INDEX(Sheet1!$B$2:$B$7,MATCH($A2*1,IF(Sheet1!$C$2:$C$7=B$1,Sheet1!$A$2:$A$7*1),0))
EDIT2: Adding trimming:
=INDEX(Sheet1!$B$2:$B$7,MATCH($A2*1,IF(TRIM(Sheet1!$C$2:$C$7)=TRIM(B$1),Sheet1!$A$2:$A$7*1),0))
EDIT3: If you're using it on your full data, change the range:
=INDEX(Sheet1!$B:$B,MATCH($A2*1,IF(TRIM(Sheet1!$C:$C)=TRIM(B$1),Sheet1!$A:$A*1),0))
Assuming your Sheet1 looks like this:
And your Sheet2 looks like this:
The formula in Sheet2 cell B2 and copied over and down to cell C4 is:
=INDEX(Sheet1!$B$2:$B$7,MATCH(1,INDEX((Sheet1!$A$2:$A$7=$A2)*(Sheet1!$C$2:$C$7=B$1),),0))
Note that this is a regular formula, so no need for Ctrl+Shift+Enter
A helper column D is added to initial columns.
D2: =$A2 & $C2
Now it's possible to make a simple search of the concatenated SITE_ID and SUSE_CD:
H2: =MATCH($G2&" B";$D$2:$D$8;0)
The result would be a row number (=1 in this case) for the needed string in array $D$2:$D$8.
INDEX shows the value of the cell, found by counting n-th row (defined by MATCH) and m-th column (=2) in array $A2:$A$8 from the upper left cell (A2).
Altogether: =INDEX($A$2:$B$8;MATCH($G2&" B";$D$2:$D$8;0);2)
The easiest way to get around with this is,
to use concatenation operator in the match function.
Don't forget to use Ctrl+Shift+Enter
Use below formula in column B of Sheet 2
{=INDEX(Sheet1!$B:$B,MATCH(Sheet2!$A2&Sheet2!$B$1,Sheet1!$A:$A&Sheet1!$C:$C,0))}
And the below formula in column C of Sheet 2
{=INDEX(Sheet1!$B:$B,MATCH(Sheet2!$A2&Sheet2!$C$1,Sheet1!$A:$A&Sheet1!$C:$C,0))}
And then flash fill the remaining rows.
I want to calculate the sum on a column and then subtract sum on another column BUT using only the values from a given row to the current row (the one in which formula resides).
So, in an "informal custom language", I would need something like this:
Suppose I am in C5: =(sum(A1:"A"+ROW())-sum(B1:"B"+ROW()))
How can I write a correct expression in Excel for this?
You can try using INDIRECT, which accepts a string reference to a range and returns the range itself:
=SUM(INDIRECT("A1:A"&ROW()))-SUM(INDIRECT("B1:B"&ROW()))
Here, we start with a 'stub' of "A1:A". We then get the current row with ROW() (so 5 in this example) and concatenate it with our stub, giving us INDIRECT("A1:A5"). Since INDIRECT will return the range referenced by its argument ("A1:A5" here), we can wrap it with the SUM formula to get the result (which is identical to SUM(A1:A5)). We then do the same thing for column B.
I think you may be looking at it backwards. You need to anchor the first cell reference in the call to SUM to the first row, but let the second cell reference change with the row. Try this in cell C1:
=SUM(A$1:A1) - SUM(B$1:B1)
Now when you copy that down the column, it becomes:
C2: =SUM(A$1:A2) - SUM(B$1:B2)
C3: =SUM(A$1:A3) - SUM(B$1:B3)
C4: =SUM(A$1:A4) - SUM(B$1:B4)
C5: =SUM(A$1:A5) - SUM(B$1:B5)
C5:= (SUM))-(SUM))
Try this:
C5:= (SUM(INDIRECT("A1:A" & ROW()))-(SUM(INDIRECT("B1:B" & ROW()))
Was using this formula SheetName!CellAddress
I need to import Data that is available on other 2 sheets namely (sheet2 and sheet3) into sheet 1 in a way such that
the row values will be alternate i.e one value from sheet 2 and other value from sheet 3 respectively
Have tried like this
=Sheet2!C2
=Sheet3!D2
when i dragged for other values i was get only values in the even cell like(c4,d4,c6,d6)
If i change the for formula to
=Sheet2!C1
=Sheet3!D1
i was get only values in the even cell like(c3,d3,c5,d5)
But what i need is continous cells in row( c1,d1,c2,d2,c3,d3...)
So what formula i need to use for getting this result
I am still not 100% clear on what the question is asking, so let me know if the below answer doesn't work for you.
It sounds like what you're looking for can be accomplished with OFFSET and clever use of IF statement.
Suppose your formulas will be in column A, starting in A2. Then enter the following formula into A2 (line split added for readability; remove it):
= IF(MOD(COUNTA(A$1:A1),2)=0, OFFSET(Sheet2!$C$1, COUNTA(A$1:A1) / 2, 0),
OFFSET(Sheet3!$D$1, COUNTA(A$1:A1) / 2, 0))
Then drag the formula down.
What it does:
MOD(COUNTA(A$1:A1),2)=0 - checks whether we're in odd row or even row.
COUNTA(A$1:A1)/ 2 - takes half of the number of non-empty cells immediately above the current cell.
OFFSET(Sheet2!$C$1, COUNTA(A$1:A1) / 2, 0) - takes the cell which is COUNTA(A$1:A1)/ 2 cells below Sheet2!$C$1.
Here's a fairly basic method:
Enter the first two formulas as Text - you can either do this by formatting the cell number as text or preceding the formula by an apostrophe.
Select cells and fill down to get:
=Sheet2!C2
=Sheet3!D2
=Sheet2!C3
=Sheet3!D3
=Sheet2!C4
=Sheet3!D4
...
Select the column and choose Data|Text to Columns|Finish to change text to values.
