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

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
A B C
1 Product A 1 Error
2 Product B 1
3 Product C 2
4 Product C 2
5 Product D 1
6 Product E 1

In the table above I want to identify if the values in Column A are unique.
If there is at least one value which is not unique Error should be displayed in Cell C1.
In order to achieve this I went with helper Column B and with the following formulas:
Column B `=COUNTIF($A$1:$A$6,A2)`
Cell C1 =`IF(COUNTA($A$1:$A$6)<SUM($B$1:$B$6),"Error","OK")`
All this works fine.
Now, I am wondering if there is also way to avoid the helper column.
Basically, a formula that goes through Column A and if it identfies at least one not-unique value it should display Error in Cell C1.
use:
=IF(MAX(COUNTIF($A$1:$A$6,$A$1:$A$6))>1,"Error","OK")
This is an array formula and depending on one's version will require the confirmation of Ctrl-Shift-Enter instead of Enter when exiting edit mode.
If one has the dynamic formula UNIQUE() then:
=IF(COUNTA(UNIQUE($A$1:$A$6))<>COUNTA($A$1:$A$6),"Error","OK")
As a normal formula.
Another formula, that will work in Conditional formatting:
=SUMPRODUCT(--(MATCH($A$1:$A$6,A:A,0)<>ROW($A$1:$A$6)))>0
I have the following Excel spreadsheet:
A B C D
1 15.000 Product 1 7.500 Product 2
2 5.000 Product 2
3 1.000 Product 3
4 0 Product 4
5
In Cell C1 I type a random number (in this case 7.500). Now I want that in Cell D1 the corresponding Product is shown to the value in Cell C1.
Since 7.500 does not exist in Column A the next lower value should be used.
In this case 5.000 which belongs to Product 2.
I tried to go with the following formulas in Cell D2 but instead of getting Product 2 I always get Product 4 as a result.
=VLOOKUP(F16,$A$1:$B$4,2,TRUE)
=VLOOKUP(F16,$A$1:$B$4,2)
Do you have any idea how to solve this issue?
For unsorted data you can use below formula:
=INDEX(B1:B4,MATCH(LARGE($A$1:$A$4,COUNTIF($A$1:$A$4,">"&C1)+1),A1:A4,0))
See image for reference
i will try it with addition columns, which indicates the difference between given 7.5 and col A like this: =IF($C$1-A1<0,999999,$C$1-A1) and then get the mininum value like =MIN(E1:E4). then get the according value in column B.
If the order is not guaranteed to be ascending then you can use an array formula (use ctrl+shift+enter instead of just enter to create an array formula)
=INDEX(B2:B5,MATCH((C2-MIN(IF((C2-A2:A5)<0,MAX(A2:A5),C2-A2:A5))),A2:A5,0))
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

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:

Before I get started thanks for taking your time and helping.
This is what my worksheet looks like:
Row # B C D E F
2 1 Product 1 B2 B3 B4
3 2
4 6
5 1 Product 2 B5 B6
6 5
7 4 Product 3 B7
I was trying to follow this formula: (The best answer one or green check mark) return values from multiple matching rows
I got all the way to the =IFERROR(INDIRECT(lookups!H5),"") but can not get this to work.
What I am tying to do is order the numbers in Column B to go to the right of the product. Which I was able to get the column it is in (B) and the row number it is in (B2). I would like to change the value (B2) to the number that is there.
I would like it to look like this:
Row # C D E F
2 Product 1 1 2 6
3
4
5 Product 2 1 5
6
7 Product 3 4
If someone could help explain this to me or find a better way that would be great.
Not sure what is to happen to columnB but if you replace B with "="B throughout columns D:F then select each of these in turn and apply Text to Columns with Tab as the delimiter the 'cell references' convert to formulae referring to the values in B. If you want to delete columnB copy D:F and Paste Special, Values over the top.
