sheet 1 sheet 2 sheet 3 sheet 4
a a a a
b b b b
c c c c
a a b a
b b a b
c c a c
a b c b
My question is if all the three sheets contains the same letter then the sheet 4 should contain the same letter.
if sheet 1 and sheet 2 contains a and sheet 3 contains b then the result should be a in sheet 4.
if all the sheets has different letters then the result in sheet 4 should be b.
The Microsoft Excel EXACT function compares two strings and returns TRUE if both values are the same. Otherwise, it will return FALSE.
EXCEL EXACT SYNTAX
EXACT( text1, text2 )
=EXACT(A1, A2)
You can use a if-then-else statement in Excel, it looks like =IF(A=B,True,False); And you can nest one in another.
In sheet 4 (for the example cell A1) =IF(Sheet1!A1="a",IF(Sheet2!A1="a",IF(Sheet3!A1="a","a", "b"),"b"),"b")
This check is sheet1 is A, yes? check sheet 2 etc, else give B.

To give you a context of the number of rows. Sheet 1 will be bigger with more than 1000 rows. Sheet 2 (Mapping Table) is constant set of rows. Currently it is about 100 rows.
You can use a formula like shown below using LOOKUP(), SEARCH() with SUBSTITUTE()
• Formula used in cell B1
=IFERROR(SUBSTITUTE(A1,LOOKUP(9^9,SEARCH($D$1:$D$3,A1),$D$1:$D$3),
LOOKUP(9^9,SEARCH($D$1:$D$3,A1),$E$1:$E$3)),A1)
There you go. There may have other better solution. This is what I got.
All in column B.
=IFERROR(CONCAT(MID(A1,1,MATCH(1,(CODE(MID(A1,ROW($Z$1:$Z$255),1))<90)*(CODE(MID(A1,ROW($Z$1:$Z$255),1))>=65),FALSE)-1),INDIRECT(CONCAT("sheet2!b", MATCH(MID(A1, MATCH(1,(CODE(MID(A1,ROW($Z$1:$Z$255),1))<90)*(CODE(MID(A1,ROW($Z$1:$Z$255),1))>=65),FALSE), LEN(A1)), Sheet2!$A$1:Sheet2!$A$300, 0)))),A1)
Break down is as follow;
Let's start put things from Column C onward.
Column C, to find the index of the first capital letter from the text.
ref: http://dailydoseofexcel.com/archives/2007/02/21/find-position-of-first-capital-letter-in-a-string/
=MATCH(1,(CODE(MID(A1,ROW($Z$1:$Z$255),1))<90)*(CODE(MID(A1,ROW($Z$1:$Z$255),1))>=65),FALSE)
Column D, cut the name part by using upper case letter index from column C, sp_abc_Jabba_the -> Jabba_the
=MID(A1, C1, LEN(A1))
Column E, search row number from Sheet2 by matching Column D's name with Sheet 2's Column A, this will get matching row number from Sheet2.
=MATCH(D1, Sheet2!$A$1:Sheet2!$A$300, 0)
Column F, get Sheet2's Column B value by the row number from Column E.
=INDIRECT(CONCAT("sheet2!b", E1))
Column G,
Cut "sp_abc_" from "sp_abc_Rick"
Concat "sp_abc_" with Column F's "Morty".
If there is any error, use Column A value as default.
. <- this dot is intentional. please ignore.
=IFERROR(CONCAT(MID(A1,1,C1-1),F1),A1)
Try:
Formula in B1:
=BYROW(A1:A10,LAMBDA(a,LET(b,TEXTBEFORE(a&"|","_"&A12:A14&"|",-1),IFERROR(CONCAT(IF(b&"_"&A12:A14=a,b&"_"&B12:B14,"")),a))))
The concatenation with a "|" would assert we only replace values when at the exact end of the input. Just in case there would be a stray (for example) 'Rick' somewhere before the end.
I have an excel file with 5 rows in column A and B, and 3 in column C and D (in reality though, I have a couple of hundreds of rows). Column B consists of text belonging to A, and D of text belonging to C. Column C has some of the values found in column A.
It looks like this:
A B C D
1 1 stringA1 1 stringC1
2 2 stringA2 2 stringC2
3 3 stringA3 4 stringC3
4 4 stringA4
5 5 stringA5
Now, I would like to match the numbers in column C with those in A, so that matches are put in the same row. For those rows in A for which there is no match in C, I want to have blank cells after column B.
It would look like this in this case:
A B C D
1 1 stringA1 1 stringC1
2 2 stringA2 2 stringC2
3 3 stringA3
4 4 stringA4 4 stringC3
5 5 stringA5
I have some idea that I should use VLOOKUP and maybe Conditional Formatting, but unfortunately I am not very experienced in excel. Could someone please suggest a way to do this?
Enter the following formula in Cell E1:
=IF(IFERROR(MATCH(A1,$C$1:$C$5,),"")<>"",INDEX($C$1:$D$5,IFERROR(MATCH(A1,$C$1:$C$5,),""),1),"")
and this one in Cell F1:
=IF(IFERROR(MATCH(A1,$C$1:$C$5,),"")<>"",INDEX($C$1:$D$5,IFERROR(MATCH(A1,$C$1:$C$5,),""),2),"")
Using Helper Column:
You can also do this using a helper column.
In Cell E1 write:
=IFERROR(MATCH(A1,$C$1:$C$5,),"")
Then in Cell F1 write:
=IF(E1<>"",INDEX($C$1:$D$5,E1,1),"")
And finally in Cell G1 write:
=IF(F1<>"",INDEX($C$1:$D$5,E1,2),"")
This was answered by #user3514930 to a question here.
You can directly use this formula in D2 and copy downwards:
=IF(A2 = C2, A2, "")
Now if you have formulas in A2, C2, type in those formulas in place of A2, C2 in the above.
I am creating a spreadsheet for my personal use. I need to count the number of times one column's values are equal to an adjacent column's.
Is there any way to do this in Excel without having to modify the formula every time a new row is added?
If you have column A and B now, add column C:
Column A Column B Column C
1 2 =countif(B:B, A1)
2 2
3 1
Then just copy the first value in column C, select the entire column C and paste :)
You will get:
Column C
1
2
0
I want to compare column A in sheet 1 with column A in sheet 2, and only return matches from sheet 2.
I then, want to use the matching column A rows as a basis for a second comparison. The second comparison is to compare column B in sheet 1 with column B in sheet 2 and only return non matches from sheet 2.
Assume this is the data on sheet 1:
A B
2 4
2 4
2 3
3 3
and this is the data on sheet 2:
A B
2 4
3 3
2 4
3 3
So, only the third row will pass on both conditions. Any ideas how this can be done?
I want to compare column A in sheet 1 with column A in sheet 2 and only return matches from sheet 2
Type on cell C1, on sheet 1:
=IF(A1=Sheet2!A1,"True","")
Drag the formula to all rows on column A, which contain non blank cells.
The second comparison is to compare column B in sheet 1 with column B in sheet 2 and only return non matches from sheet 2.
Type on cell D1, on Sheet 1:
=IF(AND(C1="True",B1<>Sheet2!B1),"True","")
Drag the formula down.
Output on Sheet 1 should be like that:
A B C D
2 4 True
2 4
2 3 True True
3 3 True
Filter column C by True to observe the "first" condition's returns. Do the same to column D to retrieve the data which satisfies the "second" condition.
I have two sheets in Excel that I am trying to compare. This is a bit convoluted so I hope my explanation is clear.
Sheet 1 is named 'mapping and Sheet 2 is named SOA
I would like to compare column D in 'mapping' to column A in 'SOA'
Where the value in column D of mapping is equal to the result in column A of 'SOA' I would like to enter the corresponding text info from column B of SOA into column E (which is blank) in 'mapping'
Column A in SOA is in ascending order while column D is not, and cannot be.
A sample for the data is:
Sheet 1 (Mapping)
A B C D E
A1.3
A1.1
A1.2
Sheet 2 (SOA)
A B C D E
A1.1 YES
A1.2 MAYBE
A1.3 NO
A1.4 IDK
The result I am looking for would give me:
Sheet 1 (Mapping)
A B C D E
A1.3 NO
A1.1 YES
A1.2 MAYBE
I have tried the following formulas but have not gotten any luck
=IF(COUNTIFS(('mapping'!D3:D466),=SOA!A4:A136",SOA!B4,""))
=IF('mapping'!$D3:$D466=SOA!$A4:$A136,SOA!$B4:$B136,"")
Thanks everyone, I got it working with a combo of all of this. Some of the issue was the nature of the data I receive
