Need to try and get a result based on possible 3 lookups in Excel.
I have a price for a certain size hire vehicle and need to check to see if I want to add in a supplement or not based on entry into a cell in another sheet.
I have a sheet called Keys that has the criteria I base my calculations on and a second sheet I have the rates loaded for all the vehicle sizes available, cars to coaches. I would like to calculate the supplement for customers of the move to a larger vehicle or even a reduction dependent on what I choose.
Keys data is:
Vehicle Sizes
Range # Seats Rate Column Supplement Range to work on
1 4 R N
2 7 S Y 1
3 16 T N
4 24 U Y 5
5 29 V N
6 35 W N
7 45 X N
So for example if the I have chosen to calculate the supplement on the 7 seater then I want to calculate the difference between the 7 seater and 4 seater and that is my supplement. I have also chosen to calculate the reduction between the 29 and 24 seater vehicles.
Am trying to figure out how to combine multiple IF and LOOKUP, if they are correct or not.
So basically IF I have a Y in the supplement column on Keys then calculate the difference in the rates based on the Rate Column based on the Range to work on.
Any suggestions or help appreciated
Sorry think I forgot about the actual rates. They are stored on another sheet as per below. the charges are per service, like an airport transfer etc., they are in VN Dong so thats why they are in the 100,000 + range.
R S T U V W X
Rate with Surcharge
4 7 16 24 29 35 45
340000 373000 394000 735000 780000 1050000 1210000
I have tried to tweak the answer from pnuts but getting a bit lost, note sure if I need the MATCH in the formula of not.
I doubt this will suit but it may help to clarify your requirements:
=IF($D2="N","",INDEX(Sheet2!$Q$2:$X$4,MATCH(F$1,Sheet2!$Q$2:$Q$4,0),CODE($C2)-80)-INDEX(Sheet2!$Q$2:$X$4,MATCH(F$1,Sheet2!$Q$2:$Q$4,0),CODE($C2)+$E2-$A1-81))
in F2 copied across and down to suit.

Firstly, we have an array of predetermined factors, ie. V-Z;
their attributes are 3, the first two (•xM) multiplied giving the 3rd.
f ... factors
• ... cap, the values in the data set may increase max
m ... fixed multiplier
p ... let's call it power
This is a separate, standalone array .. we'd access with eg. VLOOKUP
f • m pwr
V 1 9 9
W 2 8 16
X 3 7 21
Y 4 6 24
Z 5 5 25
—————————————————————————————————————————————
Then we have 6 columns, in which the actual data to be processed is in, & thereof derive the next-level result, based on the interaction of both samples introduced.
In addition, there are added two columns, for balance & profit.
Here's a short, 6-row data sample:
f • m bal profit
V 2 3 377 1
Y 2 3 156 7
Y 1 1 122 0
X 1 2 -27 2
Z 3 3 223 3
—————————————————————————————————————————————
Ultimately, starting at the end, we are comparing IF -27 inverted → so 27 is within the X's power range ie. 21 (as per the first sample) .. which is then fed into a bigger formula, beyond the scope of this post.
This can be done with VLOOKUP, all fine by now.
—————————————————————————————————————————————
To get to that .. for the working example, we are focusing coincidentally on row5, since that's the one with the first negative value in the 'balance' column, so ..
on factorX = which factor exactly is to us unknown &
balance -27 = which we have to locate amongst potentially dozens to hundreds of rows.
Why!?
Once we know that the factor is X, based on the * & multiplier pertaining to it, then we also know which 'power' (top array) to compare -27, as the identified first negative value in the balance column, to.
Is that clear?
I'd like to know the formula on how to achieve that, & (get to) move on with the broader-scope work.
—————————————————————————————————————————————
The main issue for me is not knowing how to identify the first negative or row -27 pertains to, then having that piece of information how to leverage it to get the X or identify the factor type, especially since its positioned left of the latter & to the best of my knowledge I cannot use negative column index number (so, latter even if possible is out of the question anyway).
To recap;
IF(21>27) = IF(-21<-27)
27 → LOCATE ROW with the first negative number (-27)
21 → IDENTIFY the FACTOR TYPE, same row as (-27)
→ VLOOKUP pwr, based on factor type identified (top array, 4th column right)
→ invert either 21 to a negative number or (-27) to the positive number
= TRUE/FALSE
Guessing your columns I'll say your first chart is in columns A to D, and the second in columns G to K
You could find the letter of that factor with something like this:
=INDEX(G:G,XMATCH(TRUE,INDEX(J:J<0)))
INDEX(J:J<0) converts that column to TRUE and FALSE depending on being negative or not and with XMATCH you find the first TRUE. You could then use that in VLOOKUP:
=VLOOKUP(INDEX(G:G,XMATCH(TRUE,INDEX(J:J<0))),A:D,4,0)
That would return the 21. You can use the first concept too to find the the -27 and with ABS have its "positive value"
=VLOOKUP(INDEX(G:G,XMATCH(TRUE,INDEX(J:J<0))),A:D,4,0) > INDEX(J:J,XMATCH(TRUE,INDEX(J:J<0)))
That should return true or false in the comparison
I have an Excel document with multiple small tables in it. Here, each table describes a single project, and at the end of the worksheet, I want to create a summary that doesn't have "hardcoded" locations so that that when the amount of projects (tables) is adjusted, it doesn't break all the formulas. Basically, it looks like this:
A B
1 Project 1
2 Units 200
3 Price / Unit 10
4 Material / Unit 5
5 Handling / Unit 1
6 Total cost 6
7 Profit Margin / Unit 4
8
9 Project 2
10 Units 100
11 Price / Unit 5
12 Material / Unit 1
13 Handling / Unit 1
14 Total cost 2
15 Profit Margin / Unit 3
16
...
19 Summary
20 Units =SUMIF( A$1:A19 ; A20 ; B$1:B19 )
21 Material costs ???
22 Handling costs ???
23 Total Profit ???
Here, there may be an arbitrary amount of projects and I'm unsure how to create a formula that directly calculates the total material costs (and by the same pattern, Handling and Total Profit). For the total units, I can simply use a =SUMIF( A$1:A19 ; A20 ; B$1:B19 ) instead of =B2 + B2 by having the function search col A for the keyword "Units" but in order to do this for the total material costs, I need to multiply first. Eg, it would be =B2*B4 + B10*B12.
My first idea was to use an INDEX MATCH approach to extract a subarray from each table and then sum it all up using SUMPRODUCT however the MATCH function unfortunately only returns the first result and I can't get it to output an array of results (I think this is just a limitation with the function?).
I guess it would also be possible to simply add extra lines to each table to pre-calculate these products, but I don't like that solution as it would give the tables a lot of unnecessary extra bloat and I'd really like to solve this in one formula.
Any help would be greatly appreciated!
I came up with a dirty solution, using SUMPRODUCT formula that works if your using Office 365 :
example calculating total handling cost:
=SUMPRODUCT(FILTER(B:B,A:A="Units"),FILTER(B:B,A:A="Handling / Unit"))
FILTER(B:B,A:A="Units"), returns an array of values on the right of cells containing "Unit"
FILTER(B:B,A:A="Handling / Unit"), returns an array of values on the right of cells containing "Handling / Unit"
Trying to use the solver add-in for Excel to get the min average for a range of cells in the following table:
Where PT = processing time, DD = Due date
The cell Tardiness has the following formula; =IF([#[Cum. PT]]-[#DD]>0;[#[Cum. PT]]-[#DD];0) --> Basically Time past the due date, but if below due date = 0
Cumulative cells have the obvious formulas.
The cell in the bottom right is the average, this is the value I want to optimize, this should be done by switching the order of rows.
Is it possible to do this in solver? That it just switches order of entire rows?
As your problem is stated, it can be solved with the following steps ...
Put Row, Real PT, and DD in a separate source table (SourceTable).
Like this.
Row Real PT DD
1 8 30
2 10 14
3 13 68
4 18 53
5 16 58
6 12 18
7 11 78
8 14 26
Build your table where Real PT is calculated as =VLOOKUP(A2,SourceTable,2), and DD is calculated as =VLOOKUP(A2,SourceTable,3). All other calculations should be as you have already defined.
Set up Solver with the following:
Objective Cell is $F$10
Minimize
By Changing $A$2:$A$9
Constraints $A$2:$A$9 <= 8, $A$2:$A$9 >= 1, $A$2:$A$9 = AllDifferent, $A$2:$A$9 = integer
Solving method = Evolutionary
With these, I get the following result ...
... which may or may not be acceptable - it seems the 84 day tardiness may be excessive. Constraints could be added for maximum tardiness.
Edit - You can also specify GRG Nonlinear as the solution method, but you will need to go into options and pick multistart. GRG Nonlinear takes much longer to come to a solution than Evolutionary.
Solver can not change positions of rows.
For your case I would just sort Tardiness from smallest to largest which would give you the smallest average cumulative tardiness.
Hi everyone I have an excel question on how to rank but based first on a a ranking but then next on a second priority of a group. The formula is written in column 'Final_Rank' and I just hid a bunch of rows to show the clear example. Within the column Rank is just a normal rank function. I want the priority to be within Rank first, but then to add the next rank to the next item of the same group*. So if you look at Group HYP it will supersede ranked (3 and 4) and then 5 would be given to the next newest group.
I hope this is a clear explanation, thanks.
Group Rank Final_Rank_Manual
TAM 1 1
HYP 2 2
GAB 3 5
HYO 4 8
ALO 5 9
HYP 7 3
ACO 8 12
IBU 9 13
ACO 11 14
ALO 18 10
GAB 44 6
IBU 53 15
IBU 123 16
GAB 167 7
HYP 199 4
You can do this with an extra helper column. Assuming your table currently occupies columns A-C, with one header row, put the following in C2:
=SMALL(IF($A$2:$A$6=A2,$B$2:$B$6,9999999999),1)+(B2*0.000000001)
You'll need to enter this as an array formula by using Ctrl+Shift+Enter↵. Copy it down throughout the whole column. This gives you the group's ranking, and it adds a tiny decimal indicating the individual values position within each group. (e.g. the 3rd "HYP" value is converted to something like 2.0000000199, because out of all the available values, the second lowest belongs to "HYP", and this specific "HYP" value is 199).
Next, enter the following in D2 and copy it down throughout the column:
=RANK(C2,$C$2:$C$6,1)
This will give you the "Final" rankings. There won't be any ties because of the tiny decimals we added in the previous formula. The results end up looking just like your sample.
I want to multiply x*y until x>=20, then multiply z that value and have the results displayed as two values, the multiple and multiple*z
The question behind the formula is, how many boxes of x capacity do I need to have a total capacity of 20 liters and how much does that cost.
x = volume of bottle
y = number of bottles in a box
z = price per box
This could be done very easily by hand, but I've been playing (with little effect) in excel for a while and would like a solution.
I hope that makes sense
I rather think what you would like is the formula provided by #Jeeped but for:
I want to multiply x*y until x>=20, then multiply z that value and have the results displayed as two values, the multiple and multiple*z
label two arrays from 1 to 20 for columns and rows as shown, populate V1 with the price per box and in B2:
=IF(AND($A2*B$1>20,A2>=20),"",$A2*B$1)
and in X2:
=IF(B2="","",$V$1*B2)
with both formulae copied across 19 columns and those two sets of 20 formulae then copied down 19 rows. The result should be similar to:
