I'm in need of some advanced lookup formula with MAX, MIN, IF and SUM. Info:
Sheet1 (data):
Column one(A): name
Column two (B): Type
Column three (D1:AO): Data/numbers
Row 1: A1=Name, B1= Type, D1:AO1=name of the different data
Sheet2 (output):
B5: Primary Critera, Selecting from a dropdownlist of Sheet1.Row(D1:AO1)
B7: Secondary Critera, Selecting from a dropdownlist of Sheet1.Row(D1:AO1)
B8: Tertiary Critera, Selecting from a dropdownlist of Sheet1.Row(D1:AO1)
B9: Quaternary Critera, Selecting from a dropdownlist of Sheet1.Row(D1:AO1)
B10: Quinary Critera, Selecting from a dropdownlist of Sheet1.Row(D1:AO1)
What I want:
Step 1:
I want it to find the row in sheet1(D1:AO1) that matches Sheet2(B5), and find the Maximum value in that column and paste the name Sheet1(Column one).
Step 2 (Maximum criteria):
There are five different types Sheet1(Column two). I want it to find Step 1 for each of them (so five Maximum value, pasting the name in five different cells).
Step 3 (Minimum criteria):
Sheet2(B7:B10) are four minimum criteria (such as =<10), which also needs to be taken into consideration (unless its "None"). Like step one these four cells are dropdown lists.
Step 4 (Total):
Sum up the values of each of the criteria in different cells.
Example:
Type 1-5: Books, Cd's, DVD's, Clothes, Shoes - 100 different of each Type
B5: Primary Criterion: Selling Price
B7: Secondary Criterion: Market value =< 10
Then I want it to find the highest selling price (Primary Criterion), with a minimum market value of 10, for each Type 1-5. Also, pasting the sum of selling price (five prices in total), and pasting the sum of market value (five values in total).
This is how I tried to start step 1:
If(B5="None";"";MAX(VLOOKUP(B5='Sheet1!'!D1:AO1
But, I got stuck since it's lookup in sheet1.cells(D1:AO1), and pasting is column one.
Also, it would even be a great help if you could just solve one of the steps.
EDIT - STEP 1:
A formula that says
1) Look for a cell in Sheet1.row1, where the text matches the text in Sheet2(B5).
2) If you find one, Search the specific column with the match, for the maximum value.
3) return/paste the text from column A, of which row of the maximum value.
In B9 please try:
=INDEX(A:A,MATCH(MAX(OFFSET(A:A,,MATCH(B7,1:1,0)-1)),OFFSET(A:A,,MATCH(B7,1:1,0)-1),0))

I have simple problem, but I've not be able to get an answer from searching. I require a column to calculate the number of the nth occurrence of a value. It's best explained in this picture
I require a method to calculate column B.
I'd be very grateful for any help.
Are you looking to merely provide a count of the distinct entries of column A in column B? Or merely add a formula to come up with the table in your link?
If the latter, then the formula to write in cell B2 is:
=COUNTIF(A$2:A2,A2)
then copy/paste it down column B. Note - if your data is both a Date and Time, but the cell is formatted to only display a date, you may not get the results you want. You'd need to interject a new column with a "floor" calculation to round the date/time value to a date (Excel date times are decimal, with integer part dictating the date, and remaining 0.0 -> 1.0 dictating the time of day)
If you just want to derive a table of the counts of distinct entries in column A, then a pivot table will do this for you - simple add a pivot table to cover the data in column A, then select column A into the rows category, and then also drag it into the values category, ensuring the field is set to "Count of". You should then have a table with the distinct entries in your data set in one column, and the count of their occurrences in the other column.
You can use the COUNTIF worksheet function, with a relative address.
Eg. In cell B2, enter this formula:
=COUNTIF(A$2:A2,A2)
And then fill-down.
Use the following formula to generate the required series:
=COUNTIF($A$1:A1,A1) and strech(copy) it in all the cells
This will generate result like this:
A 1 COUNTIF($A$1:A1,A1)
A 2 COUNTIF($A$1:A2,A2)
C 1 COUNTIF($A$1:A3,A3)
C 2 COUNTIF($A$1:A4,A4)
B 1 COUNTIF($A$1:A5,A5)
B 2 COUNTIF($A$1:A6,A6)
A 3 COUNTIF($A$1:A7,A7)
C 3 COUNTIF($A$1:A8,A8)
D 1 COUNTIF($A$1:A9,A9)
D 2 COUNTIF($A$1:A10,A10)
D 3 COUNTIF($A$1:A11,A11)
D 4 COUNTIF($A$1:A12,A12)
I am trying to create a formula that gives me the average of the last 12 entries in a given dataset depending on the associated vector.
Let's make an example:
I have in column F2,G2,H2 and I2 dates, Company1, Company2 and Company3 respectively. Then from row3 to row 33 I have months dates starting from May 2016.
Date Company1 Company2 Company3
May-16 2,453,845
Jun-16 13,099,823
Jul-16 14,159,037
Aug-16 38,589,050 8,866,101
Sep-16 63,290,285 13,242,522
Oct-16 94,005,364 14,841,793
Nov-16 123,774,792 7,903,600 41,489,883
Dec-16 93,355,037 12,449,604 69,117,105
Jan-17 47,869,982 13,830,712 83,913,764
Feb-17 77,109,905 10,361,555 68,176,643
The goal is to create a formula that, when I drag it down, correctly calculates the average of the last 12 values for a given company.
So for example i would have, say in table "B2:C5":
Company1 76,856,345
Company2 11,120,859
Company3 65,674,349
And, if a new Company4 is added to the list, then I just have to drag it down the formula, to calculate the average of the last 12 months for Company4.
Until now, I have came up with this formula:
=AVERAGE(LOOKUP(LARGE(IF(ISNUMBER(G:G),ROW(G:G)),ROW(INDIRECT("1:"&MIN(12,COUNT(G:G))))),ROW(G:G),G:G ))
This formula correctly calculates the average of a given column, considering only the last 12 values. The last step would be to come up with a formula that includes all the columns and then calculates the average for the given company.
Thanks!
I recommend that you use a named range to define your data in columns G:I. When a company is added, just modify the named range's specs. I used the name Target. Of course, you can replace it with $G:$I if you feel so inclined but I would rather recommend reducing the number of rows in the range, which is easier to manage when it is named.
Use the formula below to extract the company names from the first row of Target into the first column of your averages table. This is to ensure that the names are spelled identically in both locations.
=INDEX(Target,1,ROW()-2)
The number 2 indicates the number of rows above the row containing the formula. it is copied here from cell M3. There, ROW()-2 creates the number 1, counting sequentially as the formula is copied down.
Now I have the formula below in my cell N3 and copied down.
=SUM(INDEX(Target,0,MATCH($M3,INDEX(Target,1,0),0)))
The formula simply sums up the columns G, H, and I in 3 consecutive rows.
In the final step I inserted the range definition established above, meaning excluding the SUM() function, into your existing formula.
=AVERAGE(LOOKUP(LARGE(IF(ISNUMBER(INDEX(Target,0,MATCH($M3,INDEX(Target,1,0),0))),ROW(INDEX(Target,0,MATCH($M3,INDEX(Target,1,0),0)))),ROW(INDIRECT("1:"&MIN(12,COUNT(INDEX(Target,0,MATCH($M3,INDEX(Target,1,0),0))))))),ROW(INDEX(Target,0,MATCH($M3,INDEX(Target,1,0),0))),INDEX(Target,0,MATCH($M3,INDEX(Target,1,0),0))))

1) I have two tables. 1st table contains data for more then 20,000 rows and 2nd table I already have the following columns details i.e. Region, Item, Number and I just have to get the Total value of the product from the 1st table
2) There are two types of prices in the 1st table . One is Retail Price and Another one is a Wholesale price
3) In each of the regions Rep, Item and Numbers are same in most of the cases, but the Total price is different
4) I am able to get the Total price details in 2nd table through vlookup formula (After concatinating the following columns i.e. Region, Item and Number from both the tables) wherever there is an account number for retail price
5) Currently I am manually updating "Total Price" details in 2nd table for Wholesale price which is taking lot of time.
Is it possible to build a formula to get the wholesale price details in the 2nd table, since there are more then one account number, but the price is same
If the wholesale price is the lowest price for the specific item, then you can find it with the formulas MIN and IF.
Based on your screen shot:
D is the column with the list of items
I5 is the cell with the item name for which you want to find the wholesale price
F is the column with the list of prices
If you enter the following formula in cell K5, it should find the lowest price for pencils
=MIN(IF(D:D=I5,F:F))
On this link, there is an explanation if you want to use multiple criteria.
http://www.contextures.com/excelminmaxfunction.html
try the sumifs function.
It takes multiple arguments and criteria. So it should look something like:
cell value at j5 = sumifs(f3:f23, b3:b23, h5, d3:d23, i5....)
you need to mark off which rows in your first table are wholesale selling. So it should be a column of some kind. Once you do that, let's say in column G, then you add onto the sumifs function...
, g3:g23, L5)
What you're doing is summing up all of the values in column F where h5 (region) matches in b3:b23, i5 (item) match in d3:d23, and where L5 (retail type) match in a new column g2:g23.
This will find all of the values that match that criteria exactly.
Vlookup is useful, but it's harder to scale IMO than the advanced if functions.
SUMIFS is probably the better way to go on this one, but as an alternative there is also SUMPRODUCT.
=SUMPRODUCT(($H3=$B$3:$B$20004)*($I3=$D$3:$D$20004)*($J3=$E$3:$E$20004)*($F$3:$F$20004))
The * acts as an AND statement in a logical check, and each of the ($H3=$B$3:$B$20004) is a logical check. When the row is true it will evaluate to 1. When it is false it will evaluate to 0. in the end you wind up with a list of prices or 0s that get summed. The end result is the sum of everything that matches your criteria.
The danger of using this formula is that it can get labour intensive as it is performing array calculations without being an array formula.
This is a little difficult to explain but I have a list of data, all in one column, that contains a department number and then below each department number is a long list of brands that correspond to that department number. So within this list there are multiple departments with brands listed underneath them.
My goal is to somehow return the value of the department next to each brand but because the department number is located above the list of brands and the data is changing each time I repull the report, the row numbers will not remain them same and there may be duplicate brand names, and I cannot figure out what formula to use because it is all contained in one column.
I need to come up with some type of formula that doesn't just search, but returns the value of the next number or value above the current cell and skips all of the text or blanks in between so it will grab the department number above it. Is there a way to do this or a better way to accomplish the goal of assigning each brand to the department above it while allowing for changing data each time I pull the report?
I tried replacing all of the text with 0's or blanks and then used the indirect function to say: =IF(BG24="",INDIRECT("BF" & ROW() - 1),""), but I assumed it would continue to loop and skip the zeroes or blanks until it found a number, but it did not, it just returned the zero value.
If I understand your problem correctly, the following formula should do it. Put it in cell B2. In cell A1, I'm assuming that there's the department number.
=IF(ISERROR(A1*1), IF(ISERROR(A2*1), B1, ""), A1)
This will work for a table like the following where no brands are numbers only:
1
Brand1
Brand2
2
Brand1
Brand2
To become:
1
Brand1 1
Brand2 1
2
Brand1 2
Brand2 2
