I have a huge spreadsheet of data on google docs with one of the columns being called "status" which ranges from one star (*) to five stars (*****) for the input. and I want to create a separate sheet that will automatically update showing all data that has been classed as five star "*****".
Any ideas? Sorry I am new to formulas in excel etc.
Have you tried the Filter function? It'd definitely slow down for huge files but does dynamically update as the source data set changes.

It sounds very easy but I looked for this similar question, but looks like I didn't find suitable. Mostly are slightly different issues then mine..
I am receiving monthly one big Excel file, where I got different sheets, but only on one sheet I am having 3x different data ranges (not formatted tables). I am saying it again, ranges not tables, because some "smart" collogues decided just to overwrite file with new data but just to expand the range...so it stayed as range (it goes horizontal), and not table. For Power Query is needed table format I know..
So my issue is to somehow consolidate those ranges (3 of them) on that one sheet into one Query, but without disrupting the original Excel file, and of course to make it dynamic when I am getting new files.
I am comfortable with Power Query, but I didn't have similar things like this where you have more ranges that have to be cleaned, edited and appended into one query...Positive thing is, the column names are the same, just the content are different...
As you can see the data range is in so called "blocks" on data that are going horizontally...
This is basically something what I would like to have:

Here is my test file to check it up:

I solved it by combining into 3x queries and then appended into one bigger table.
and, import From Folder is the best import, rather then direct from Excel Workbook, it gives me more space for adding the filter for instance "Date Created" so you can always have the newest on the top or whatever.
Thx anyways for some input of you guys.
I am trying to make a list in Excel that has as its output a list of unique items that appear multiple times in different sources of the excel sheet. Ideally, the list should be automated automatically as more data is inputted in the sources, but no additional sources will be added. I used a formula I found here, but it only works for a single source of data (and this data then needs to be adjacent).
I attached a picture of my document with circles enclosing the sources and pointing to where the list should be created. I highlighted in yellow a cell in the top row that does not get outputted (because I don't know how to do this). Picture for reference
I can provide the excel document if need be.
I am thinking of consolidating the sources to a single source, but I would like to solve this in a more sophisticated way that does not involve creating more tables.
As per your screenshot it seems you are using tables. Then try below formula-
=IFERROR(INDEX(FILTERXML("<t><s>"&TEXTJOIN("</s><s>",TRUE,Table1[Machine],Table2[Machine])&"</s></t>","//s[not(preceding::*=.)]"),ROW(1:1)),"")
Please note: TEXTJOIN() is available to Excel-2019 & Excel-365 and it has limitation to 50,000 data only.
To learn more about FILTERXML() read this article from JvdV.
We are trying to track some online marketing metrics and I'm having some trouble. I have 2 tables in different tabs (one imports data from several external data sources, ultimately we want this to be a series of google sheets) and one is the working table.
I have rows on the imported data with month and other attributes defining the data and in the working data these are columns. The working data has a lot of other cells too that are not there with calculations, etc.
What I need to do is to check on the working sheet which month (for example) we are in, then go to the working data and scan all the data for matches with that month. Then I want to consolidate each of the data parameters into the working sheet. Ideally I wouldn't even have to import all the external data into a tab on the working spreadsheet, if I could find a way to work where it would check the external documents for the matches that would be great. The structure of the data in the external documents is the same as displayed here fore the imported data.
Note that in this case it is month but it could be anything random so DATE functions wouldn't work.
So I want to pickup the data from the external source above, and insert in the relevant places. But while the months will not change, other data can change the order in which is imported so we need to check that the headers from picture 2 match the row labels from the imported data.
I hope that makes sense. I would really appreciate any help. Was up until 4 AM trying to figure this out and I would hate to go back to my boss saying he's gonna need to get someone else to do this as I can't. :/
Thank you.
So I resolved this with a INDEX(array, MATCH(),MATCH()) function. First I selected the answer array from the cells with the info I wanted then used the MATCH Function to match the row and the columns I wanted in the matrix.
This created another problem where no answer existed as it threw an error so I had to envelop the whole expression in an IFERROR function.
The final solution was like this:
=IFERROR(INDEX(Table_Query_from_Excel_Files,MATCH(!H1:I1&A1,INDEX(Table_Query_from_Excel_Files[Month]&Table_Query_from_Excel_Files[User location],,),0),MATCH(!A1,Table_Query_from_Excel_Files[#Headers],0)), 0)
I get a lot of data every day with one of the columns being the name of stores. These stores are divided into two regions, say north and south. So , I have a superset with store names including both storesN and storesS. Everyday I get reports from a subset of these names. I use Pivot tables to display the data.
I want to write a macro which will show me just the data from storesN or storesS. If all the stores reported everyday, I could write a fixed macro. But every day the stores that report changes. So is there a way, I could write a macro, which will automatically detect and which names are present and adjust accordingly.
I am using
With PivotTables("PivotTable30").PivotFields("Name")
.PivotItems("Store1").Visible=False
The names are always a subset of the superset.
I hope the question is clear.
Just refresh your pivot table:
ActiveSheet.PivotTables("PivotTable30").PivotCache.Refresh
Good Luck.
If you are deleting all the old rows, just make sure that "Show items with no data" is turned off in the Field settings. Then refresh the table.
If you are only replacing the updated rows, then the easiest solution is probably to just add a "last updated" column and have that filtered for "today" (Or PivotFilters.add2 Type:=xlDateToday if you build your table via code)
I have some data that has been output by an accounting system, but needs massaging.
Each Invoice is output on a row, but the categories of the products on the invoice are output as a column - I want all the data to be on a row.
(I've just discovered that as a new user to here I can't post an image, so this link links to a jpg that explains what I mean)
So the image shows how the data is currently output and how it needs to be. I assume that I need to use VBA to do this (there's actually 1000's of rows of data and a new sheet is generated every day), but I'm interested in any other ideas or samples of what functions to use in VBA (I'm a delphi developer and haven't written anything in VBA for many years, but I'm sure I can turn my hand to it with a few hints!)
Many Thanks
