Question:
If E6=text then delete the value of A6 in Cells B6:C100
Basically when text in E6 equals "text" then match all instances where A6 is found in B6:C100 and delete contents.
| A Name | B Contents | C Contents | D Contents | E Values |
----------------------------------------------------------------------
| Angel | Basic | Angel | D Contents | Defined |
----------------------------------------------------------------------
| Zeus | Zeus | Angel | D Contents | Defined |
----------------------------------------------------------------------
In the above, Angel in row C2 would be deleted. Zeus in B3 would be deleted
Below is the result:
| A Name | B Contents | C Contents | D Contents | E Values |
----------------------------------------------------------------------
| Angel | Basic | | D Contents | Defined |
----------------------------------------------------------------------
| Zeus | | Angel | D Contents | Defined |
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Conditional formatting is preferred as it is a non Macro enabled book.
{Edit}
Perhaps a formula that could be similar to: if e6='text' then if B6:C100 contain A6 "" so rather than deleting the cell contents it overwrites them with a "".
Thank you in advance.
If you can have your results on a separate worksheet, the best solution I can think of is to create another worksheet and use the following methods:
Copy and paste links of your contents into the new worksheet.
Use a formula like =IF(Original!$A1=Original!B1,"",Original!B1) but with the cells referencing your original sheet.
Just copy this formula for all your cells in B2:C100
When you finish, just hide your source data worksheet and it should work. Easy non-VBA solution.

I have an excel formula that I need help with, since I'm not that savvy on excel.
The formula is the following:
=IFERROR(INDEX(Liste!$C$2:$N$10000,AGGREGATE(15,6,(ROW(Liste!$A$2:$A$10000)-ROW(Liste!$A$2)+1)/ISNUMBER(SEARCH("BOX"," " & Liste!$B$2:$B$10000 & " ")),ROWS($A$4:$A4)),COLUMN()-1),"")
This formula looks on another sheet (Liste) for lines containing the word BOX on column B and show them on "ROWS($D$4:$D4)" (in this case) starting from Column "C".
I'm not even sure if that formula orders the results on column "B" since they're all the same with the word "BOX".
It works prefectly, the only think I can't achieve (and I've tried diferent combinations) is to change that code to make it show the results in order according to column "C" (not column B).
Sample Data:
Sheet "Liste"
|-----------|----------|-----------|
| B | C | D |
|-----------|----------|-----------|
| NOTBOX | 5 | SAMPLE |
| BOX | 3 | SAMPLE |
| BOX | 1 | SAMPLE |
| BOX | 2 | SAMPLE |
| NOTBOX | 4 | SAMPLE |
|-----------|----------|-----------|
Current Result:
|-----------|----------|
| A | B |
|-----------|----------|
| 3 | SAMPLE |
| 1 | SAMPLE |
| 2 | SAMPLE |
|-----------|----------|
Desired Result:
|-----------|----------|
| A | B |
|-----------|----------|
| 1 | SAMPLE |
| 2 | SAMPLE |
| 3 | SAMPLE |
|-----------|----------|
Can someone give me a hand?
One thing I forgot to state is that I need to drag this formula around (rows and columns) so it's important that I can drag it on a large zone (if lines are added in the future) and that it ignores the errors (blank).
Thank you in advance
Here is an example on how you could do this:
Formula in F2:
=SMALL(IF($A$2:$A$6=$E$2,$B$2:$B$6,""),ROW(A1))
Or in French
=PETITE.VALEUR(SI($A$2:$A$6=$E$2;$B$2:$B$6;"");LIGNE(A1))
Formula in G2:
=INDEX($C$2:$C$6,MATCH(F2,$B$2:$B$6,0))
Or in French
=INDEX($C$2:$C$6;EQUIV(F2;$B$2:$B$6;0))
Note: The first formula is an array formula and need to be confirmed through CtrlShiftEnter.
Drag them both down and include an IFERROR if you drag these formula's down and you don't want to see errors once there are no more hits.
What I'm trying to do is a little complex but I think it's doable in Excel.
I have two worksheets in a workbook on sheet one I have this...
| Code1 | Code2 | Code3 | Code4 |
| BA1 | xxxxx | xxxxx | |
| BA2 | xxxxx | xxxxx | |
| BA3 | xxxxx | xxxxx | |
And on the second sheet...
| CodeA | CodeB | CodeC | CodeD |
| BA1 | 1 | date | text |
| BA3 | 1 | date | text |
| BA1 | 2 | date | text |
| BA2 | 1 | date | text |
| BA1 | 3 | date | text |
| BA3 | 2 | date | text |
| BA2 | 2 | date | text |
What I want to do is lookup Code1 on sheet one and find it in the second sheet in CodeA then find the highest CodeB for CodeA and then concatenate CodeC and CodeD and place them on Sheet one in Code4.
I hope that makes sense, Thanks for any advice.
I think I understand. Does this look correct?
Sorry for the swedish formulas but it's an array formula that you add with CTRL+SHIFT+ENTER.
The formula in english is:
{=MAX(IF(Data=A2,CodeB;-1))}
And the named range Data is Column H and I, and CodeB is Column I.
If it does not find the value it returns -1
Sorry noticed now that I only did half of the job.
Make another named range called Table that spans column I to K (Code B -> Code D).
And in column code3 add this formula:
=Vlookup(B2,Table,2,false)
And in code4:
=Vlookup(B2,Table,3,false)
And you should get:
This should find the results you are looking for.
This is an array formula so you will need to press CTRL+SHIFT+ENTER once you have entered it into the formula bar, this will have to done for every formula you add to the column.
As it is an array formula I have only written it to reference rows 1 to 18, you will need to update all references to include you last row.
Columns titled CODE1(to 4) are on the first sheet (Sheet 1)
Columns titled CODEA(to D) are on the Second sheet (Sheet 2)
=CONCATENATE(VLOOKUP(CONCATENATE(A2,MAX(IF(Sheet2!A:A=A2,Sheet2!B:B,-1))), CHOOSE({1,2},Sheet2!A1:A18 & Sheet2!B1:B18, Sheet2!C1:C18 ),2,0)," ",VLOOKUP(CONCATENATE(A2,MAX(IF(Sheet2!A:A=A2,Sheet2!B:B,-1))), CHOOSE({1,2},Sheet2!A1:A18 & Sheet2!B1:B18, Sheet2!D1:D18 ),2,0))
If you do not require a space between the dates, just remove " ", from the middle of the formula.
I have a table being created via an XML map so it has a lot of blank cells in each column. It looks like:
| Name | Stat 1 | Stat 2 | Stat 3|
| Test | | | |
| | Four | | |
| | | 5 | |
| | | | 102 |
Basically each row has only one value and I am trying to transpose it onto another worksheet where all the values are one row like this:
| Name | Stat 1 | Stat 2 | Stat 3 |
| Test | Four | 5 | 102 |
In my searching I found this formula:
=IFERROR(INDEX(Table9[#name],SMALL(IF(Table9[#name]<>"",ROW(Table9[#name])-ROW(Table9[#name])+1),ROWS(A2))),"")
I set that and in A1 of another sheet and drag it down and it does return the populated cells but it is also returning 0 for all the blank cells instead of skipping them until it has a value to return.
There may be a better way to do this so I am open to other options but would prefer to avoid vba if possible.
Thanks.
Let's say input sheet is called Sheet1 and the Name is in cell A1 on both sheets. Then use following formula for Name on output sheet:
=INDEX(Sheet1!A:A,(ROW()-2)*4+2)
and for Stat 1:
=INDEX(Sheet1!B:B,(ROW()-2)*4+3)
and so on ... more generally:
=INDEX(
input_column_range,
(ROW()-first_row_in_output)*number_of_columns + first_row_in_input+column_index
)
I have a sheet with 2 columns. I need to CONCATENATE the two cells within each row to create a large WHERE statement in the SQL based off every row. For example:
Where A1 = 'B1' and A2 = 'B2' etc etc.
What do you suggest is the best method to do this? I need to do this across many sheets. Originally I was going to do something like this: C1=CONCATENATE(A1," = ","'",B1,"'") across every row, then CONCATENATE those outputs as well (C1,D1 etc) but just wondering if there are any other options? Would using VBA be easier?
No need to use any functions.
You may do like this,
assuming your excel sheet is like:
| A | B | C | D |
1 | a1 | b1 | | |
2 | a2 | b2 | | |
3 | a3 | b3 | | |
4 | a4 | b4 | | |
Insert one new row between A and B, and write =' in cell B1 and drag that cell to COPY cell value upto total number of your rows. Similarly write ' and in Cell D1 and do same, so it will be like this.
| A | B | C | D |
1 | a1 | =' | b1 |' and|
2 | a2 | =' | b2 |' and|
3 | a3 | =' | b3 |' and|
4 | a4 | =' | b4 |' and|
Now, Copy paste these cells to Notepad++ and replace TAB and \n by a space (new lines)
So, now you should get string like,
a1='b1' and a2='b2' and a3='b3' and a4='b4' and
You just have to edit minor thing, place this to your query and remove last and
What I want to do might be better achieved with a database, however I have very limited experience with them, and only have to change the information infrequently.
What I have is a sheet where each row has 8 cells of relevant data.
What I want to do in another sheet is to enter a number into 1 cell, and have a group of cells below use that number to reference data in the other sheet.
For example, in Sheet1 I could have the following (fig 1):
| A | B | C | D | E | F | G | H
-----+-----+-----+-----+-----+-----+-----+-----+-----
101 | Dep | 700 | Sta | 100 | Sta | 300 | Dep | 900
What I want to achieve in sheet 2, by typing the row number into 1 cell, is to have the data in those 8 cells copied below, for example (fig 2):
| A | B | C | D |
-----+-----+-----+-----+-----+
1 | "Row Number" |
-----+-----+-----+-----+-----+
2 | =A# | =B# | =D# | =C# |
-----+-----+-----+-----+-----+
3 | =E# | =F# | =H# | =G# |
-----+-----+-----+-----+-----+
And yes, I am aware those formulae above do not reference the other sheet - this was to save space.
Which, if using the example row above, should look like this (fig 3):
| A | B | C | D |
-----+-----+-----+-----+-----+
1 | 101 |
-----+-----+-----+-----+-----+
2 | Dep | 700 | 100 | Sta |
-----+-----+-----+-----+-----+
3 | Sta | 300 | 900 | Dep |
-----+-----+-----+-----+-----+
So, in that example above (fig 3), what do I need to put in as a formula in cells A2-D2 & A3-D3 to automatically use the number in A1 as part of the cell reference to print the data from the other sheet.
Does that make sense? I hope so because I have over 300 lines to enter into my 1st sheet and another 70 lines x 7 blocks of columns on the second sheet.
Lastly I just want to say I want to avoid programming languages, like VBA, wherever possible.
Check out the INDIRECT() function.
For cell A2 in your example on the second sheet, enter:
=INDIRECT("Sheet1!"&"A"&$A$1)
Expand this formula to the apply to other target cells by changing the "&"A" portion to reference columns B, C, D, etc. from Sheet1 as needed in your grid per the following example:
=INDIRECT("Sheet1!"&"B"&$A$1)
=INDIRECT("Sheet1!"&"C"&$A$1)
=INDIRECT("Sheet1!"&"D"&$A$1)
These formulas will reference your selected "Row Number" in cell A1 and pull the related data from Sheet1 into Sheet2.
You can do this using the INDIRECT function
Returns the reference specified by a text string.
References are immediately evaluated to display their contents.
Use INDIRECT when you want to change the reference to a cell within a
formula without changing the formula itself.
