On Sheet1 I have a table across several columns with dates (quarters, say: 03/31/2014, 06/30/2014 and so on) in the first cell of each column.
On Sheet2 I have another table with four columns where I want to fill each first cell with the quarterly dates from the table in Sheet1. However the dates to be chosen depend on another cell (containing a date value).
For instance, if we are in May (reference cell) I want to populate the first cell in Column1 with the last quarter before May (ie 03/31/2014) and the other three first cells with the subsequent quarter-end dates, so the second column would lookup 06/30/2014 from Sheet1, and so on.
An alternative to looking up the dates might be to create them in the second sheet. If the columns there were A:D then, in A1:
=CHOOSE(MOD(MONTH(G1),3)+1,EOMONTH(G1,-3),EOMONTH(G1,-1),EOMONTH(G1,-2))
and in B1 copied across to D1:
=EOMONTH(A1,3)
where G1 is assumed to be the reference cell.

What I'd like is to have a fill down formula that looks to see when the date value changes, and sum all the previous rows for that specific date.
For example, here's a spreadsheet:
In column J, you'll see that those values are the sums of each day. Those sums should only be displayed when the date changes, and the sums will just be the sums of each specific day. I think this has to require an array formula of some kind, but any suggestions? Thanks!
UPDATE
#Scott
I should mention that the dates aren't always the same length, meaning there could have been 2 rows on one date, and 6 on another date. They are sorted, but different number of rows. So it needs to also look backwards to see where the dates change as well...
I've used the formula provided in column K, and then filled it down. The expected answer is in the column just to the right of that.
Moving my comment to an answer because I believe this works, assuming your data is sorted by date, as Scott notes:
=IF(B2<>B3, SUMIF(B:B, B2, I:I), "")
This says if the next date is not equal to the current date, sum all values for that date. Otherwise leave the cell blank.
Edit: just noting for clarity based on the comments, the formula with the given row references assumes the table in question has a 1 row header, and the formula is written in row 2 and filled down. For this question the formula goes in J2 and is filled down. Also note that if you choose to reference a specific cell range instead of entire columns with B:B and I:I, the row references need to be anchored so they don't move when filled down, for example: =IF(B2<>B3, SUMIF(B$1:B$100, B2, I$1:I$100), "")
Update #OP was looking for a forumla based approach.
Well, if the dates are sorted then it can be done with following formula in row 2 beside the Net Units column.
=IF(B2<>B3, SUMIF ($B$2:$I$50, B2, $I$2:$I$50), "")
The row numbers and columns letter should be changed to reflect the data to be selected. Missing the $ (absolute reference) will break the formula.
sumif (range, criteria, sum_range)
// Range is you area from criteria column till the sum_range column, and sum_range is the column that has numerical value to be added.
This kind of problem is best solved by using Pivot Tables. Select your data, make sure each column name/field is unique and then proceed as follows:
Go to Menu > Insert > Pivot Table
Select the cells or worksheet (new worksheet preferred) where you want the Pivot Table to be created.
In the PivotTable builder select, your Date column to Rows
Select the columns that you want to be summed up and drag to the Values Filed
Adjust the Value Filed Settings (in the Values Field list (click the drop down arrow next to each field) to SUM function. [if needed]
Viola! This should produce the desired outcome and should be the preferred method.
I have a work sheet in which there are several cells with a specific entry - let's say "A". These are not all in the same rows/columns. After each cell is a date.
I need to count the number of cells containing "A" which also have a specific date in the cell immediately to its right. I've tried combinations of Countifs and Indirect, with no success. How can I achieve this?
This counts the number of times that there is A in column A and 1 in column B
=SUMPRODUCT(($A$1:$A$5="A")*($B$1:$B$5=1))
This outputs in cell D1
Not too difficult.
I have created a sample sheet with 8 rows and 5 columns of data.
See below, the formula in cell C12 counts the number of occurrences where the a cell with a date of October 31, 2017 is directly to the right of a cell that contains the text A.
If you want more info as to how this works, read on:
When searching for cells that contain A, you don't search in the last column of the data (in this case, column E) because it is impossible for a column to the right to have any date in it. This is why a portion of the formula says A1:D8="A" instead of A1:E8="A". This is the same reasoning why we start searching for a date in column B rather than column A in the formula.
You can achieve this with a helper row. Add additional row on top of your Worksheet. In cell "A1" enter formula below.
=COUNTIFS(A2:A2000,"A",B2:B2000,"YourDate")
Drag this formula to the rightmost of where you have data, then simply sum all values returned by formula.
For example, One table is the formula, and the other is the data sheet.
For the formula, I want Column A to pair to Column B.
So, ZIPCODE1 in A1 equates to $6 in B1.
Like
12345 - $5
54312 - $4
12422 - $7
So, in the data sheet, whenever I type a zipcode, it will autofill/calculate with that dollar amount.
Sounds like you may be after a lookup formula.
You need to have a table like the above in your workbook, for reference. Let's say that this table is in Sheet2, from cell A1 to B4. Make row 1 the labels, ZipCode and Fee, so everybody can easily recognize what data the columns hold.
Let's further assume that in Sheet1 of your workbook you have a zip code in cell A1 and you want to see the respective price in cell B1. You now can use this formula in cell B1
=vlookup(A1,Sheet2!$A$1:$B$100,2,False)
In words: find the value from A1 (of the current sheet) in the first column of the table in Sheet2 that starts in A1 and goes to B100 (I'm using row 100 as an arbitrary last row of the table. There are more advanced ways to make the table reference dynamic). Return the value in the second column where column A has an exact match. For more info use the Excel help for Vlookup.
Another option is an Index/Match combo
=Index(Sheet2:$B:$B,match(A1,Sheet2!$A:$A,0))
In words: look at column B in sheet 2 and return the cell where column A in Sheet2 has an exact match for my value in A1 (in the current sheet).
As the title suggests, I have a worksheet (sheet1) that has lots of data that spans columns A-E and with rows that are added daily, What I want to do is on a separate worksheet (sheet2) show the data from the last 5 rows of sheet1.
Providing there is continuous data within column A on Sheet1, you could also use the INDIRECT() and COUNTA() functions.
=INDIRECT("Sheet1!$A$"&COUNTA(Sheet1!$A:$A)-4)
=INDIRECT("Sheet1!$A$"&COUNTA(Sheet1!$A:$A)-3)
=INDIRECT("Sheet1!$A$"&COUNTA(Sheet1!$A:$A)-2)
=INDIRECT("Sheet1!$A$"&COUNTA(Sheet1!$A:$A)-1)
=INDIRECT("Sheet1!$A$"&COUNTA(Sheet1!$A:$A))
You would need to amend the column letter within the INDIRECT function for each column of data which you wish to view on Sheet2.
In an appropriate cell on Sheet2, use this formula,
=INDEX(Sheet1!A:A, MATCH(1E+99, Sheet1!$A:$A)-(ROW(1:1)-1))
Fill right for a total of 5 columns then fill those 5 cells down 5 rows.
That formula will find the last number in a column. This is often the case as the left-most column mat hold an ID number. The same reference point should be used to collect cell values from other columns to avoid the confusion that a rogue blank cell would create.
If all you have are text values then the formula in the first cell would be,
=INDEX(Sheet1!A:A, MATCH("žžž", Sheet1!$A:$A)-(ROW(1:1)-1))
Fill right and down as described above.
I use excel 2007
i made a table with few columns but too many rows. Each row contains some data and simple formulas.Now I want to duplicate a specific row based on current date [TODAY()] at top of the sheet.I mean whenever I open the file,the right row according to computer date,be shown directly at somewhere else instead of looking through all rows to find it.
thanks
above your table. add an empty row.
First column add =TODAY() // This will show todays date in the column and can be used in your other formulas. We will assume the cell is A1
Second Column add = VLOOKUP($A$1,A2:D8,2,FALSE) A1 being the date, A2:D8 being the table range (A2 top left cell, D8 bottom right cell), 2 is the second column of your table range, false returns the value in the second column as longs as the date (A1) matches the date in the first column on your table range.
Copy the formaula across the columns, changing the lookup column in the formula. ie. Third column VLOOKUP($A$1,A2:D8,3,FALSE)
Glad to help.
