My current spreadsheet has integers that I'd like to average in every 9th cell in the K Column, starting from K10. So right now my current formula reads,
=AVERAGE(K9,K18,K27)
I'd like the EQ to consider [K36, K45, K54] even though those cells aren't filled in yet.
I believe I can use something like;
*pseudocode*
Find the average of K1+(K1+9)
*Attempt*
\\
=AVERAGE(OFFSET(K10,9,,,)
\\
I think I'm missing the complete knowledge of OFFSET, or I'm thinking maybe an AverageIF() may be in order? I've spent probably an hour on it so far
This array formula will return every 9nth cell starting with K10 and expand to include new data as it is put in:
=AVERAGE(INDEX(K:K,N(IF({1},(ROW(A1:INDEX(A:A,(MATCH(1E+99,K:K)-9)/9))-1)*9+10))))
The -9 is the number of rows to get the starting row to row 1 10-9=1
The /9 and the *9 are the spacing
The +10 is the starting row.
Confirm with Ctrl-Shift-Enter instead of Enter when exiting edit mode
If you can add a column as a flag, you could us the MOD function to check the row number like this:
=MOD(ROW(K10)+1,9) - this returns 0 for every 9th cell starting at K10
Then you could use the AVERAGEIF function to average if the MOD function returns 0.
If you can't add a flag, you may need to look into using an array formula like this:
=AVERAGE(IF(MOD(ROW(K10:K30)-1,9)=0,K10:K30))
You can activate the array formula by hitting Ctrl+Shift+Enter. If done correctly, braces ({}) will be put around the formula in the formula bar.
EDIT:
**both of the following methods counts empty cells as 0
This array formula will work for column K if there is a value in every row of column K:
=AVERAGE(IF(MOD(ROW(INDIRECT("K10:K" & COUNTA(K:K)+10))-1,9)=0,INDIRECT("K10:K" & COUNTA(K:K)+10)))
Or if you don't have continuous data in column K, this method gets the last filled cell.
=AVERAGE(IF(MOD(ROW(INDIRECT("K10:K" & MAX((K:K<>"")*(ROW(K:K)))))-1,9)=0,INDIRECT("K10:K" & MAX((K:K<>"")*(ROW(K:K))))))
This might be easy for many but I need to solve an issue which is following;
I have the following formula which finds the empty row after D4.
=MATCH(TRUE;D4:D1048576="";0)+3
After this I want to be able to find the empty row from another defined cell, say D10.
How can I do this?
Try this as an array formula - Ctrl+Shift+Enter:
=MIN(IF(D4:D100="",ROW(D4:D100)))
It works from D4 to D100, providing the first empty value.
If you're looking to use same formula to match next cell then use
For blanks after D4
=MATCH(TRUE,INDEX(ISBLANK(D4:D1048576),0),0)
For blanks after D10
=MATCH(TRUE,INDEX(ISBLANK(D10:D1048576),0),0)
To find the A1th blank cell, you can use the following formula:
=AGGREGATE(15,6,ROW(D:D)/--ISBLANK(D:D),A1)
How it works
AGGREGATE(15,6,..) is like SMALL(..), but skips any error values.
ROW(..) provides the row number of the cell provided
ISBLANK(..) is TRUE for blank cells or FALSE for non-blank cells
-- converts TRUE to 1 and FALSE to 0. This means that ROW(D:D)/--ISBLANK(D:D) will be either the Row Number (for blank cells) or a #Div0! error (which AGGREGATE will skip)
This produces a list of row numbers for all the blank cells, and you then use the AGGREGATE function to get the kth item in that list.
Taking it a step further
So, you want the 1st item larger than a specific row. We change the last argument in AGGREGATE to 1, and swap change our "Error out" code from ISBLANK(D:D) to AND(ISBLANK(D:D), ROW(D:D)>A1), to get the first blank row after the row number stored in A1:
=AGGREGATE(15, 6, ROW(D:D)/--AND(ISBLANK(D:D), ROW(D:D)>A1), 1)
Find Last Cell in Spreadsheets (CALC, excel) with formula, based on the last entry. My solution for this problem was this one: B$24 is the criteria for last entry in a row. (B$24="goodforyou"). The number"-23" is for adjustmnet reasons. You may change it.
This solution applies only if YOU KNOW what is the last ROW entry! Has anyone else a better solution?
=LARGE(IF(B$2:B$1070=$B$24;ROW(B$1:B$1067)+ROW(B$24)+0);ROWS(B2:B2))-23
=LOOKUP(2;1/(B1:B9999<>"");ROW(A:A))
Should do the trick pretty quick...
No need to know what is in the last cell.
To find the last occurence of the value in B24 in column B, use the Array Formula:
=MAX(IF(B:B=B$24,ROW(B:B)))
Array formulas must be entered with Ctrl + Shift + Enter rather than just the Enter key.
I am going crazy over this. It seems so simple yet I can't figure this out. I have two worksheets. First worksheet is my data. Second is like an answer key. Upon checking checking, A1:B1 in Sheet 1 is a match with the conditions in Row 52 in SHEET 2, therefore, the value in Column C is "MGC". What is the formula that will perform this function? It's really hard to explain without the data so I pasted a link of the sample spreadsheet. Thank you so much in advance.
sample spreadsheet here. https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1_AjuNfCdGfEM-XkqPa6W4hSIxQg4NM2Vg4c2C1pQ_vQ/edit?usp=sharing

In Sheet2, insert a column in front of Column A and put the formula in A2 =C2&D2.
Then in Sheet1, Cell C2 the formula =vlookup(A2&B2,Sheet2!A:B,2,0).
the first make a concatenated key to lookup, then the second looks up that key.
How about a index(match())? If I've understood correctly you need to match across both the A and B column in sheet one, checking for the relevant values in B and C on sheet 2 to retrun worksheet 2 column a to worksheet 1 column c.
third version try:
=INDEX(Sheet2!$C$1:$C$360,MATCH(Sheet1!A1&Sheet1!B1,Sheet2!$B$1:$B$360&Sheet2!$C$1:$C$360,0))
Basically what this does is use concatenation, the & operator, to specify you are looking for "Criteria A" & "Criteria B" in sheet 1, which makes the string "Criteria A Criteria B", which is supplied in the first part of the match function.
In the second it then says match this against all of my variables in sheet 2 in the same way with concantenation.
The final part of match function (0) specifies you want an 'exact' match
It then supplied this as a reference to the index function, which then finds the row intersecting with the value you want, and returns that.
As noted here https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/kb/59482 this is an array formula, so it behaves differently, and must be input differently. https://support.office.com/en-za/article/Guidelines-and-examples-of-array-formulas-7d94a64e-3ff3-4686-9372-ecfd5caa57c7
There are (at least) 2 ways you could do this without VBA.
USING A SORTED LIST
The first relies on the assumption that your data can be re-sorted, so that everything "Unreported" is in the top, and everything "reported" is together below that (or vice versa). Assuming that this is the case (and it appears to already be sorted like this),we will use the function OFFSET to create a new range which shows only the values that align with either being "Unreported" or "Reported".
Offset takes a given reference to a point on a sheet, and then moves down/up & left/right to see what reference you want to return. Then, it returns a range of cells of a given height, and a given width. Here, we will want to start on Sheet2 at the top left, moving down until we find the term "Unreported" or "Reported". Once that term is found, we will want to move one column to the right (to pull column B from sheet 2), and then have a 'height' of as many rows as there are "unreported" or "reported" cells. This will look as follows in A1 on sheet 1, copied down:
=OFFSET(Sheet2!$A$1,MATCH(A1,Sheet2!A:A,0)-1,1,COUNTIF(Sheet2!A:A,A1),1)
This says: First, start at cell A1 on sheet2. Then find the term in A1 (either "unreported" or "reported", on sheet2!A:A (we subtract 1 because OFFSET starts at A1 - so if your data starts at A1 we need to actually stay at "0". If you have headers on sheet2, you will not need this -1). Then, move 1 column to the right. Go down the rows for as many times as Sheet2 column A has the term found in Sheet1 A1. Stay 1 column wide. Together, this will leave you with a single range on sheet2, showing column B for the entire length that column A matches your term in sheet1 A1.
Now we need to take that OFFSET, and use it to find out when the term in Sheet1 B1 is matched in Sheet2 column B. This will work as follows:
=MATCH(B1,[FORMULA ABOVE],0)
This shows the number of rows down, starting at the special OFFSET array created above, that the term from B1 is matched in column B from sheet2. To use this information to pull the result from column C on sheet 2, we can use the INDEX function, like so:
=INDEX([FORMULA ABOVE],MATCH(B1,[FORMULA ABOVE],0))
Because this would be fairly convoluted to have in a single cell, we can simplify this by using VLOOKUP, which will only require the OFFSET function to be entered a single time. This will work as follows:
=VLOOKUP(B1,[FORMULA ABOVE],2,0)
This takes the OFFSET formula above, finds the matching term in B1, and moves to the 2nd column to get the value from column C in sheet2. Because we are going to use VLOOKUP, the offset formula above will need to be adjusted to provide 2 columns of data instead of 1. Together, this will look as follows:
FINAL FORMULA FOR SHEET1, C1 & COPIED DOWN
=VLOOKUP(B1,OFFSET(Sheet2!$A$1,MATCH(A1,Sheet2!A:A,0)-1,1,COUNTIF(Sheet2!A:A,A1),2),2,0)
OPTION USING ARRAY FORMULAS
The above method will only work if your data is sorted so that the REPORTED and UNREPORTED rows are grouped together. If they cannot be sorted, you can use an ARRAY FORMULA, which essentially takes a formula which would normal apply to a single cell, and runs it over an entire range of cells. It returns an array of results, which must be reduced down to a single value. A basic array formula looks like this [assume for this example that A1 = 1, A2 = 2...A5 = 5]:
=IF(A1:A5>3,A1:A5,"")
Confirm this (and all array functions) by pressing CTRL + SHIFT + ENTER, instead of just ENTER. This looks at each cell from A1:A5, and if the value is bigger than 3, it gives the number from that cell - otherwise, it returns "". In this case, the result would be the array {"";"";"";4;5}. To get the single total of 9, wrap that in a SUM function:
=SUM(IF(A1:A5>3,A1:A5,""))
In your case, we will want to use an array formula to see what row in Sheet2 matches A1 from Sheet1, and B1 from Sheet1. This will look like this:
=IF(Sheet2!$A$1:A$100=A1,IF(Sheet2!$B$1:$B$100,ROW($B$1:$B$100),""),"")
This checks which rows in column A from sheet 2 match A1. For those that do, it then checks which rows in column B from sheet 2 match B1. For those, it pulls the row number from that match. Everything else returns "". Assuming no duplicates, there should only 1 row number which gets returned. To pull that number from the array of results, wrap the whole thing in a MATCH function. Now that you have the row number, you can use an INDEX function to pull the result in Column C with that row, like this:
FINAL ARRAY FORMULA METHOD
=INDEX($C$1:$C$100,MAX(IF(Sheet2!$A$1:A$100=A1,IF(Sheet2!$B$1:$B$100,ROW(Sheet2!$B$1:$B$100),""),"")))
Remember to confirm with CTRL + SHIFT + ENTER instead of just ENTER, when you type this formula. Note that I didn't refer to all of Sheet2!A:A, because array formulas run very slowly over large ranges.
The following formula should work without making any changes to the datasheets.
=INDEX(Sheet2!$A$1:$A$360,MATCH(Sheet1!A1,IF(Sheet2!$C$1:$C$360=Sheet1!B1,Sheet2!$B$1:$B$360),0))
Remember to save this formula as an array with CTRL+SHIFT+ENTER
Documentation on how to use INDEX and MATCH against multiple criteria can be found on Microsoft Support.
It's not clear what you want to do with the multiples that do not have corresponding matches. txed is listed as Unreported twice in Sheet1; kntyctap is listed as Unreported three times. There are only one corresponding match on Sheet2 for each of these.
Non-array Standard Formulas for multiple criteria matches
For Excel 2010 and above use this standard formula in Sheet1!C1:
=IFERROR(INDEX(Sheet2!$A$1:$A$999,AGGREGATE(15,6,ROW(1:999)/((Sheet2!$B$1:$B$999=A2)*(Sheet2!$C$1:$C$999=B1)), COUNTIFS(A$1:A1, A1, B$1:B1, B1))), "")
For version of Excel prior to 2010 use this standard formula in Sheet1!C1:
=IFERROR(INDEX(Sheet2!$A$1:$A$999, SMALL(INDEX(ROW($1:$999)+((Sheet2!$B$1:$B$999<>A1)+(Sheet2!$C$1:$C$999<>B1))*1E+99, , ), COUNTIFS(A$1:A1, A1, B$1:B1, B1))), "")
I've handled error with the IFERROR function in that latter formula. Excel 2003 and previous may have to use an IF(ISERROR(..., ...)) combination.
I am looking for matches of information in Column E of one worksheet to Column E of a second worksheet.
I've used:
=MATCH(""&E1&"",'SHEET1'!E:E,0)
and this returns me which row the match is in.
However I have multiple hits on my search, but it is only returning me the row of the first hit.
Is there a way to get a list of all hits, not just the first occurrence?
Thank you!
Say Sheet1 is like:
and in the other sheet, there is a 12 in cell E1
then pick a cell and enter the Array Formula:
=IFERROR(SMALL(IF(Sheet1!E:E=$E$1,ROW(Sheet1!E:E)-MIN(ROW(Sheet1!E:E))+1,""),ROW(A1)),"")
and copy down to display:
Array formulas must be entered with Ctrl + Shift + Enter rather than just the Enter key.
NOTE: This kind of array formula can be painfully slow! Personally, I would replace all the E:E with $E$1:$E$999999 to improve the speed.
