I have a column with names and a column with numbers:
FirstName Name Number
John Smith 17
John Smith 26
Peter Smith 116
Peter Smith 25
Franck Black 17
Luke Peterson 17
Luke Peterson 37
Names with same FirstName and Name represent the same person. I need to sum the numbers associated with them. I prefer not to use VBA.
A PivotTable might suit, though I am not quite certain of the layout of your data:
The bold numbers (one of each pair of duplicates) need not be shown as the field does not have to be subtotalled eg:
This can be done by using SUMPRODUCT as well. Update the ranges as you see fit
=SUMPRODUCT(($A$2:$A$7=A2)*($B$2:$B$7=B2)*$C$2:$C$7)
A2:A7 = First name range
B2:B7 = Last Name Range
C2:C7 = Numbers Range
This will find all the names with the same first and last name and sum the numbers in your numbers column
If your data has the names grouped as shown then you can use this formula in D2 copied down to get a total against the last entry for each name
=IF((A2=A3)*(B2=B3),"",SUM(C$2:C2)-SUM(D$1:D1))

I have the following table:
1 John Doe
John Doe
2 Adam Smith
Adam Smith
Adam Smith
I need to count the number of times a name appears for each number value in column A. The numbers are unique.
Place this formula in cell C1 and drag down until the end.
=IF(ISNUMBER(A1),COUNTIF(B:B,B1),"")
n.b. - you can more clearly define row numbers instead of using B:B if you like as well
I have one example table with the following data in Sheet1 with the following random data
------A ----------------- B ----------------------C ------------------------D
1 --First--------------Last-----------------Start Date--------------End Date
2 --John--------------Smith--------------08/08/2014------------01/01/2015
3---John--------------Smith--------------08/11/2014------------17/11/2014
4---John--------------Smith--------------06/06/2014------------23/12/2014
5---Abel--------------Jones--------------14/05/2014------------29/04/2015
6---Abel--------------Jones--------------04/07/2014------------26/04/2015
Then I have another table in Sheet2
------A ----------------- B ----------------------C ------------------------D
1 --First--------------Last-----------------Start Date--------------End Date
2 --John--------------Smith---------------------------------------------------
3---John--------------Smith---------------------------------------------------
4---John--------------Smith---------------------------------------------------
5---Abel--------------Jones---------------------------------------------------
6---Abel--------------Jones---------------------------------------------------
I am using INDEX MATCH to transfer the data between the two sheets.
=INDEX(Sheet1!$C:$C,
MATCH(1,INDEX((Sheet1!$A:$A=$A3)*(Sheet1!$B:$B=$B3),0),0))
To populate column C with the start dates from Sheet1.
=INDEX(Sheet1!$D:$D,
MATCH(1,INDEX((Sheet1!$A:$A=$A3)*(Sheet1!$B:$B=$B3),0),0))
and this to populate column D with the end dates.
The problem is, when I perform this INDEX MATCH function, for a duplicate name, it will only copy over the first value. So this formula will paste 08/08/2014 into all 'John Smith' Start dates in column C of Sheet2.
How do I obtain all values so that C2 should be 08/08/2014, C3 should be 08/11/2014, C4 should be 06/06/2014 etc.
One solution would be to insert a column in both sheets with a "running count" of instances of the same name. For example, insert col C and in C2 enter =IF(A2&B2 = A1&B1, C1+1, 1). This starts the count at 1 if the concatenated first and last name is new, and increases the previous count by 1 if not. So you would have
First Last Count by Person
John Smith 1
John Smith 2
John Smith 3
Abel Jones 1
Abel Jones 2
George Washington 1
Thomas Jefferson 1
Thomas Jefferson 2
You can then add this column to your MATCH() function (and change the lookup column as necessary).
Edit: It is worth noting that this requires your raw data is sorted by name.
You can narrow the $A:$A refferances to something like $Ax+1:$Ay where y = last row of your excel sheet and x is position of previous occurance of this name/surname (you could store this in some dummy column).
I have a data as below -
Name Amount
John Martha 20
John ABS 30
Man XYZ 10
Now, I want excel to search John from all rows and sum the value against it.
For example - John - 50
If you'd like to sum all values in column B where corresponding value in column A contains substring John, use this one:
=SUMIF(A1:A10,"*John*",B1:B10)
If you'd like to sum all values in column B where corresponding value in column A starts from John, use this one:
=SUMIF(A1:A10,"John *",B1:B10)
in both formulas range A1:A10 contains names and B1:B10 - amount
As stated in the title, the table has two columns, one for row names and the other is for values, I just want to return the row names and values of the 5 rows with the largest value accordingly back to another range of cells. (It will be better if I don't have to operate the table)
Thank you very much!
for example the table is like:
Johnny 1
Harry 2
Jessie 3
Luke 4
Mary 2
Lucy 1
Peter 5
Basically I would like the ouput to be
Peter 5
Luke 4
Jessie 3
Harry 2
Mary 2
The fifth biggest number you get like this
=LARGE($B$1:$B$10;5)
and then you will find the row number of this value with MATCH and use this in INDEX to get the text value
=INDEX($A$1:$A$10;MATCH(LARGE($B$1:$B$10;5);$B$1:$B$10))
Now this will not work, if you have values appearing twice. Then an additional column could help or some more complicated trick for the MATCH part, like
MATCH(LARGE(B1:B10-ROW(B1:B10)/1000;1);B1:B10-ROW(B1:B10)/1000;0)
And then you have to make an array function out of the formula but pressing CTRL+SHIFT+ENTER not only ENTER. Then {} will be added around the formula.
I need help. I have a list of 20 names of certain consultants. I receive a new sheet daily with many names, and if one of them does not match with any of the 20 consultant names, I need to replace the cell value with "X".
E.g.
1. Consultant's list contains John and Mary.
2. Daily list contains 5 names: John, Steve, Dean, Mary and Sue.
3. I now want to replace all the cell which does NOT contain John and Mary with X (thus replace cell with names Steve, Dean and Sue with X)
Help will be appreciated
If your 20-name list is in ColumnA and the daily list in ColumnB each starting in Row1 then in Row 1 and copied down to suit:
=IF(ISERROR(MATCH(B1,A:A,0)),"X",B1)
