I would like to SELECT 3 rows above and below WHERE Column B = someValue .
IF query SELECT * WHERE Column B = "Andrew" result should look like:
Column A
Column B
Column C
3
John

Mike

Luke

I know how to select one row, but cant understand how to select such range.
Thanks for ideas!
You can limit and offset inside your QUERY():
=QUERY(A1:C,"limit "&2+MIN(5,MATCH(D1,B:B,0))&" offset "&MAX(0,MATCH(D1,B:B,0)-5))
Well, this was fun...
If 3 above or below are not available then blank... rolling data around is a different proposition.
Below the image is the list of formulae used.
So, per cell not including the data validation that is based on cells B2:B11
A14 and dragged down:
=IFERROR(INDEX($A$2:$A$11,MATCH(B14,$B$2:$B$11,0)),"")
C14 and dragged down:
=IFERROR(INDEX($C$2:$C$11,MATCH(B14,$B$2:$B$11,0)),"")
Cells B14 through B20:
=IFERROR(IF(MATCH(B$17,$B$2:$B$11,0)=3,NA(),INDEX($B$2:$B$11,MATCH(B$17,$B$2:$B$11,0)-3)),"")
=IFERROR(IF(MATCH(B$17,$B$2:$B$11,0)=2,NA(),INDEX($B$2:$B$11,MATCH(B$17,$B$2:$B$11,0)-2)),"")
=IFERROR(IF(MATCH(B$17,$B$2:$B$11,0)=1,NA(),INDEX($B$2:$B$11,MATCH(B$17,$B$2:$B$11,0)-1)),"")
=E2
=IFERROR(INDEX($B$2:$B$11,MATCH(B$17,$B$2:$B$11,0)+1),"")
=IFERROR(INDEX($B$2:$B$11,MATCH(B$17,$B$2:$B$11,0)+2),"")
=IFERROR(INDEX($B$2:$B$11,MATCH(B$17,$B$2:$B$11,0)+3),"")
In Excel 365, you could try:
=INDEX(A:C,MAX(2,MATCH(D2,B:B,0)-3),0):INDEX(A:C,MIN(COUNTA(B:B),MATCH(D2,B:B,0)+3),0)
In Google sheets, on the other hand, the formula would be:
=INDEX(A:C,MAX(2,MATCH(D2,B:B,0)-3),0):INDEX(A:C,MIN(COUNTA(B:B),MATCH(D2,B:B,0)+3),0)
(spot the difference).
Excel
Google Sheets
This should produce what you want in all cases:
=IFERROR(FILTER(A2:C,B2:B<>"",ROW(A2:A)>=VLOOKUP("Andrew",{B2:B,ROW(B2:B)},2,FALSE)-3,ROW(A2:A)<=VLOOKUP("Andrew",{B2:B,ROW(B2:B)},2,FALSE)+3))
Of course, you can replace the two instances of "Andrew" with a cell reference (one where you type a changeable name).
This just looks up the row in a curly-bracket array formed from the names and row numbers and uses FILTER to keep results to rows between +/-3 rows of where the target name is found. If you choose the first name (or any other name), you won't get an error; because even if the target name were on Row 1 and the formula goes looking for anything "greater than or equal to 1 minus 3, all rows will be greater than a negative number. Same on the high end. You just won't get a full seven names if there aren't at least three other rows prior to or after the target row.
this not the best solution but it will work , you can use a helper column 'D' that contains the following formula =if(countif(INDIRECT("B"&ROW()+3&":"&"B"&ROW()-3),"Andrew")>0,TRUE,FASLE)
and u can query from here like this SELECT * WHERE Column D = TRUE
I have a dataset that looks like this:
Attribute Value
A 1
B 2
A 5
B 7
C 2
D 9
A 4
B 2
C 4
I want to transform that into a sheet that looks like
A B C D
1 2 2 9
5 7 4
4 2
So I can feed it into a Box-and-whisker chart generator in Mac excel.
Any thoughts on the easiest way to do this? I may have to do it over and over. The dataset may consist of >100,000 rows, but a reasonable amount of attributes (e.g. less than 200).
This is for Excel 365.
In D1 enter:
=TRANSPOSE(UNIQUE(A2:A10))
In D2 enter:
=FILTER($B2:$B10,$A2:$A10=D$1)
Then copy D2 to E2 throughG2 (or beyond):
I have the following Excel spreasheet:
A B C
1 =IF(B1<>"",B1;OFFSET(B1,-1,0)) CompanyA
2 =IF(B2<>"",B2;OFFSET(B2,-1,0))
3
4 CompanyB
5 CompanyC
6
7 CompanyD
In column B I have a list of different companies and it might happen that they are empty rows (in this case row2, row3 or row6) between the companies.
In column A I want to achieve that the empty rows are filled with the company names so in the end the spreadsheet looks like this:
A B C
1 Company A CompanyA
2 Company A
3 Company A
4 Company B CompanyB
5 Company C CompanyC
6 Company C
7 Company D CompanyD
I tried to use the If-formula with the offset in column A but it only works when there is not more than one empty row so it only works for CompanyB,C and D but not for company A.
Do you have any idea which formula I have to use in column A to solve this issue?
Pls refer the snap below
In A2 apply the below formula and drag down
=IF(B2<>"",B2,A1)
EDIT #1: Another method if data starts with row 1
if the data starts with B1 then apply the below formula in A1 and drag down
=IF(B1<>"",B1,IF(ROW()=1,B1,OFFSET(A1,-1,0)))
Provided the first cell, say B2, is not empty try with:=B2 in cell A2 and =IF(B3<>"";B3;A2)in cell A3 and fill down.
I have a list like this:
1
2
3
4
5
I am pulling those numbers into another spreadsheet, using vlookup.
I want to create a new list or pattern, that looks like this:
1
1
1
1
1
2
2
2
2
2
3
3
3
3
3
.. etc
How can I do that easily (my first list has 300 items, so dont want to do by hand)
Thanks!
Following the Scheme:
use the formulas:
C2 -> =A2
C3 -> =INDEX(A:A;ROUNDDOWN((ROW(G1)/$B$2)+2;0)) ' And Autocomplete
D2 -> =IF((ROUNDUP(ROW(G1)/($B$2+$B$4);0))-(ROUNDDOWN((ROW(G1)/($B$2+$B$4))+($B$4)/$B$2-$B$4/10;0))=1;INDEX(A:A;ROUNDDOWN((ROW(G1)/($B$2+$B$4))+2;0));"") ' And Autocomplete
The C column it's relevant to repeat without blanks, the column D it's relevant to the repeat with blanks.
In the cells B2 put the number of repetition and in the cell B4 put the blanks cells.
If you have more that one column to copy use the same code for every column...
If you need to have only values, at the end copy and paste with value ...
Warning: The formula in column D work with low number of blanks and Repeat... Eventually you need to recalibrate.
I have two columns of data, they look something like this:
A B C D
1 2 SOME RECORD
2 6 SOME RECORD
3 10 SOME RECORD
4
5
6
7
8
9
10
So basically column A is a list of indices, where some of them appear in column C with corresponding records saved in column D. Column B is currently empty, and what I want to do is if say index 2 appears in both column A and column C (they matches), then put the record beside C2 in the cell B2. So essentially I want it to look like this:
A B C D
1 2 SOME RECORD
2 SOME RECORD 6 SOME RECORD
3 10 SOME RECORD
4
5
6 SOME RECORD
7
8
9
10 SOME RECORD
Can someone help please?!! Thanks!!!
UPDATE: I tried this and it doesn't work. The data in column D is calculated using a UDF and is refreshing every 1 second. The VLOOKUP function fails even though I can see the 2 indices are the same!! Is it because of the format of the cell or column? I.e. does vlookup compare data type as well?
Assuming your data in A starts from A1 - put in B1 the following and autofill:
=IFERROR(VLOOKUP($A1,$C:$D,2,0),"")
This includes handling of missing values.
You'll want this:
B1=VLOOKUP(A1, C:D, 2, FALSE)
This will look up the value in column A within the array spanning columns C and D. It will give you the value found in the second column (D). FALSE makes it an exact match, otherwise you might get 2 and 20 matching because hey, they're kind of similar...
