If I do a simple formula such as
=MAX(J:J)
and I have a table such as
1 2
2 10
3 45
4 1
5 144
I would expect to see my cell = 144
is there a way for me to get the result 5 (as in the column to the left of the max?)
So if you want the value from column I try this formula
=INDEX(I:I,MATCH(MAX(J:J),J:J,0))
MATCH finds the relevant row number then INDEX gives you the value in column I from that same row

I would like to write an Excel formula that looks at 3 columns and grabs value of the 1st column based on if the search value is in columns 2 or columns 3.
1st Column 2nd Column 3rd Column
a 1 5
b 6 10
c 11 15
Search Value 1: 13 Result: c
Search Value 2: 6 Result: b
Try below formula-
=INDEX($A$1:$A$3,MAX(($B$1:$B$3<=B6)*($C$1:$C$3>=B6)*(ROW($A$1:$A$3))))
I have a dataset in Excel and I want to compute a formula for deviation from mean agreement.
Suppose the dataset is like this:
A B C D E
4 2 6 9
1 3 2
7 2 1
8 4 3
5 1 2
What I want to calculate has formula as (summation from i=1 to 5 (i.e., from A to E) |R-R'|/t)/N where N = 4 for 1st row, N = 3 for 2nd row and so on that is, no. of non null values for that row. R is current value in the row and R' is mean of the column for which we are considering R and t is no. of non null values in that vertical or column.
You will need to use the ABS() function to get the absolute value of the subtractions. To get the number of non-null cells you can use the COUNT() function. To only include items in a row that are not null you can use an IF() statement.
For example, if you data was in the range A1:E5 then the following formula would get the result for the first row if I've understood the calculation you are doing correctly:
=(IF(LEN(A1)>0,(ABS(A1-SUM(A$1:A$5))/COUNT(A$1:A$5)))+IF(LEN(B1)>0,(ABS(B1-SUM(B$1:B$5))/COUNT(B$1:B$5)))+IF(LEN(C1)>0,(ABS(C1-SUM(C$1:C$5))/COUNT(C$1:C$5)))+IF(LEN(D1)>0,(ABS(D1-SUM(D$1:D$5))/COUNT(D$1:D$5)))+IF(LEN(E1)>0,(ABS(E1-SUM(E$1:E$5))/COUNT(E$1:E$5))))/COUNT($A1:$E1)
Which results in 2.4853 for row 1
I have a column with ID's, but they are duplicated; for instance:
"0,0,1,1,1,2,3,3,4,4, ... "
For each row, I have a given value in the other columns, for instance:
"0-24; 0-36; 1-13; 1-34; 1-23;..."
I want to keep only one row with each ID but I need to sum the values of each ID, that is, sum all the values in all columns for a given ID (0,1,2,...), which may include several rows.
Is there a easy way to do this using Excel?
Here is some sample data (table to the left) together with the desired output (tables to the right).
ID Value ID Value
0 24 0 60
0 36 1 70
1 13 2 16
1 34 3 24
1 23 4 48
2 16
3 9
3 15
4 24
4 24
What you can do is to copy your IDs and paste them for example in another Sheet. Let's assume your original table is in Sheet1, and you copy all your IDs to column A in Sheet2.
Then you remove duplicate IDs in Sheet2:
Select column A > Data Ribbon > Data Tools > Remove Duplicates
In column B, you then put the formula:
=SUMIF(Sheet1!$A:$A, Sheet2!$A2, Sheet1!$B:$B)
Note: above formula goes into cell B2 on Sheet2, and you copy it down with pasteSpecial > only formulas.
Edit: if you still want the same number of rows etc because of the information in your other columns, just skip the "Remove duplicates"-part.
I have four rows and six columns of random numbers between 1 and 10. The headers atop are named A through F accordingly. I want to populate a range (A1:A6) on another sheet with the maximum number for each row. That is easy with the MAX function. However, in a another range (B1:B6), I want to put the column name to which this number belongs.
An HLOOKUP() won't work because a maximum value in one row is likely not unique number across the entire sheet. I am thinking a MATCH INDEX type function, but my understanding of those functions, especially in conjunction, is poor.
A B C D E F
1 0 2 10 9 8
9 3 7 6 9 10
10 3 0 2 1 4
9 4 7 8 6 3
Assuming your array is in Sheet1 and the columns are labelled, please try in another sheet, copied down to suit (to Row4 since there are only four rows of numbers in your data):
=INDEX(Sheet1!A$1:F$1,MATCH(MAX(Sheet1!A2:F2),Sheet1!A2:F2,0))
This will return only the first column label from a row where the maximum for that row occurs more than once.
I have the following Excel table:
A B C
1 Boris 4 *
2 Anna 6 *
3 Uli 5 *
4 Inge 4 *
5 Rudi 3 *
6 Ulla 7 *
7
8
9
:
:
99
*In cells C1 to C6 I am using the matrix formula:
={INDEX(A:A;VERGLEICH(KKLEINSTE(B$1:B$99-ZEILE($1:$99)/9^9;ZEILE(A1));B$1:B$99-ZEILE($1:$99)/9^9;0))}
to get the list sorted by names from the smallest to the the highest number according to column B.
The issue is now that my list has 99 rows (as you can see in the table) but not all of them are filled (as you can see in row 7 - 99 in the table).
Therefore, the formular in cell C1 to C6 shows now the value 0 because "" (empty cell) is the smallest value in the list from B1 to B99.
How do I have to change the formular that it considers all values in column B except for the cells that are empty? (Note: If a cell in column B has the value 0 it should be considered. Only when the cell is empty it should be excluded)
Thanks for any help :-)
Just add a condition to check for numericalness:
=INDEX(A:A,MATCH(SMALL(IF(ISNUMBER(B$1:B$99),B$1:B$99-ROW($1:$99)/9^9),ROWS($1:1)),B$1:B$99-ROW($1:$99)/9^9,0))
In German:
=INDEX(A:A;VERGLEICH(KKLEINSTE(WENN(ISTZAHL(B$1:B$99);B$1:B$99-ZEILE($1:$99)/9^9);ZEILEN($1:1));B$1:B$99-ZEILE($1:$99)/9^9;0))
I have replaced ROW (ZEILE) with ROWS (ZEILEN) as it is a more rigorous choice for SMALL's k parameter:
