How can I get the max value in column without include header (because it's text).
I need a formula not VBA script.
Thanks.
EDIT:
I don't know the number of rows. The formula needs to work without starts or ends columns.
In order to get the maximum value from cell A1 to cell A10, you can type:
=MAX(A1, A2, A3, A4, A5, A6, A7, A8, A9, A10)
or:
=MAX(A1:A10)
If you don't know the start row number and the end row number, simply use all the whole interval (I think Excel has a maximum of 16,384 columns: Excel specifications and limits):
=MAX(A1:A16384)
Here's an example that show you how text is ignored (in this example I used column 100 as the maximum column length):
If your values are in A1-A4
=MAX(OFFSET(A1,1,0,COUNT(A1:A4)-1))
Edit: Without a start row you can use A:A, this will ignore text values.
=MAX(A:A)
if you want to ignore hidden data and errors you can use
=AGGREGATE(4,7,A:A)

Is there a way to create a formula in one cell that will change the value in another cell based on some criteria, without scripting? Example: cell a1 contains a numerical value. cell b1 contains a value from a drop-down list, say, "YES,NO". If cell b1 is set to "YES" I want to remove (set to zero) the value in cell a1. What I'd like to do is have a formula in cell c1 that interrogates b1 and sets the value in a1 accordingly. Is the only way achieve this writing code and using setValue?
you cant remove it without a script. you can visually hide it in various ways. if the A1 is subject of further sum (as in your case per your comment) the sum formula can be always altered to reflect desired output. example:
if your formula is
=SUM(A1, C5, D22)
you can do
=SUM(IF(B1="YES", 0, A1), C5, D22)
Use the following on the cell you need the calculation (or zero) on:
=IF (B1="YES",0,SUM(A:A))
Using the given formula, you would do the SUM calculation for the whole Column A if the value on B1 is "YES", if not, then a 0 would be placed on the cell you put the formula on.
I have to calculate the value of cells A1 till A10 and it takes values from M21, N21, O21, and so on till V21.
How can I write a formula to calculate the same?.
I tried =M$21 to keep row 21 constant, but while dragging the formula down from A1 till A10, it doesn't change the column ref as it's dragging down.
How can I change the column reference to change while dragging the formula down from A1 till A10?.
I would index across the columns based on the current row:
=INDEX($M$21:$V$21,ROW())
use in google sheets:
=INDIRECT(ADDRESS(21, ROW(A13))
dragging this down will give you N21, O21, P21, etc.
I have 2 cells A2 and A3, I will input a min value and max value respectively in each cell. Say 100 in A2 and 200 in A3.
I would like Excel to populate cells with values within that range. So Column B would have cells 1-101 filled in with 100,101,103,104,105....200.
Is there any easy way to do this or should I just stick to putting 100 in B1 and dragging it down?
In you first cell:
=IF(ROW(1:1)-1+$A$2<=$A$3,ROW(1:1)-1+$A$2,"")
Then drag/copy the cells down far enough to cover any combination you will have. You can fill the whole column if you want.
Microsoft is working on their Dynamic Arrays, Once released, a simple formula in the first cell of:
=SEQUENCE(A3-A2+1,,A2)
Will autmatically fill down the sequence without the need of dragging the formula down.
Is there a way to include in a formula the sum of the values of a row, but starting from a certain cell onto the rest of the row?
Something like =SUM(C5:~)?
A formula's cell range generally has two parts. A5:H5 contains the cells starting at A5 and includes all cells going across row 5 to H5. Similarly, A5:A9 contains the cells starting at A5 and includes all cells going down the column to A9.
You can use the INDEX function to determine the second part of the cell range reference.
'from A5 to the last number or date in row 5
=A5:INDEX(5:5, match(1e99, 5:5))
'from A5 to the last text in row 5
=A5:INDEX(5:5, match("zzz", 5:5))
'from A5 to the last number or date in column A
=A5:INDEX(A:A, match(1e99, A:A))
'from A5 to the last text in column A
=A5:INDEX(A:A, match("zzz", A:A))
To SUM from D5 to the last number in row 5,
=SUM(D5:INDEX(5:5, match(1e99, 5:5)))
This method is preferred when creating dynamic named ranged (with formulas as the Refers to:) over the OFFSET function as INDEX is non-volatile while OFFSET is volatile and will recalculate whenever anything in your workbook changes.
=SUM(C5:XFD5)
Tested and it works. The last column is XFD, so you're summing on everything right of C5.
This would work:
=SUM(5:5)-SUM(A5:B5)
as would
=SUM(C5:XFD5)
as XFD (16384) corresponds to the maximum number of columns.
try this:
=SUM(E3:E)enter image description here
so the result will be 6, as you starter from
certain cell.
In Excel, what formula can I use to repeat text in one cell, for a specified amount of times in consecutive rows?
Example. A2 is the number of times to repeat, B2 is the amount to be repeated and C2, D2, etc is the cells that must receive the repetition?
In C2 .... X2 where X is as far as you may want to go in terms of columns
[updated:I had transposed A&B]
=IF(COLUMN()-2<=$A2,$B2,"")
and copy right
This works by calculating if the current column position -2 exceeds the value in B2
So is column C-2 (3-2 =1) greater than the value in B2
then is column D-2 (4-1 =2) greater than the value in B2 etc
if you question is more complex than this then you will need to provide further detail
