How to find the invalid records in a column in excel. Invalid records in my example is having special characters not blanks in the columns
E.g : in a column I am having dates from A1: A10 and in A5 & A6 I will have &&&& and %%%%, I want a formula where it should give me a count and result is 8 excluding these two special characters values.
1/1/2013
1/2/2013
1/3/2013
1/4/2013
&&&&&
%%%%%
1/7/2013
1/8/2013
1/9/2013
1/10/2013
Any suggestions please?
This formula will count all cells that don't equal &&&&& or %%%%% including blanks.
=COUNTIFS(A1:A10,"<>&&&&&",A1:A10,"<>%%%%%")
This formula will count all cells that don't equal &&&&& or %%%%% excluding blanks.
=SUMPRODUCT(COUNT(A1:A10)-(COUNTIF(A1:A10,"<>&&&&&")-COUNTIF(A1:A10,"<>%%%%%")))

Using only "vlookup" does not work because there are a bunch of malfunctioning minutes & total numbers of it. So as I know I should combine "vlookup" with "sum" or I am wrong? please support me on this query.
You can use Countif() to count with conditions and Sumif() to sum up numbers that fulfill a condition.
In cell K10 (count System No malfunctions)
=Countif(A:A,K9)
... in words: count the rows in column A whose text is equal to that in cell K9.
In K11 you can conditionally sum with this formula:
=Sumif(A:A,K9,C:C)
... in words: for all the rows in column A whose text is equal to that in cell K9, sum the values in column C.
Copy the two formulas from K10 and K11, paste them into K15 and K16 and change the reference from A:A to D:D to look at the code column instead of the system number.
I have a column of text strings that have one or a few months of the year written in each cell such as "January; March; November" in A1, "March; October; November; December" in A2, "January; Febraruy" in A3, ...
Is there one Excel formula that can count the number of times that "March" appears in Column A?
Use COUNTIFS with wildcards:
=COUNTIFS(A:A,"*"&"March"&"*")
I'm looking for a way to do this in Excel or Calc:
Set the maximum count of characters per cell of column D <= 70.
If characters count of any cell in column D >= 70, then skip 2 rows.
Explanation:
I want to be able to write text in excel efficiently skipping 2 rows every 70 characters.
Example:
In Excel/Calc sheet cell D1, writing short sentences/strings of 70 characters max.
When cell D1 characters count >= 70, having the cursor automatically skip 2 rows (cells D2 and D3).
Continue writing/inputing the rest of the sentence/string from cell D1 directly into cell D4.
Do the same operations automatically from cell D4 to cell D7, from D7 to D10 etc. for all of column D.
Is this possible in Excel?
Thanks for any help.
I need to add number values in a row where cells contain text and numbers; like "P1" or "S7" where I need to add the 1 and 7 into a total column.
I can extract the number values from individual cells using =RIGHT(V3,SEARCH("P",V3))+0, but can't figure out how to do that easily for row of 32 cells.
Example:
For example to sum D1 through G1, use:
=SUMPRODUCT(--MID(D1:G1,2,9999))
As you see, this formula discards the lead text character in each cell.
EDIT#1:
To add cells beginning with P or S only, use:
=SUMPRODUCT(--MID(D1:G1,2,9999)*(LEFT(D1:G1,1)="P")) + SUMPRODUCT(--MID(D1:G1,2,9999)*(LEFT(D1:G1,1)="S"))
You can place your formula on the first column of your row. Then when you copy the formula across your columns it will automatically reference the cell offset the same as V3 is offset from each other cell with formula.
I have four numbers in cells A1-A4
34
45
9
18
And I want to count the sum of all four numbers:
=SUMIF(A1:A4,"<>",A1:A4)
So far so good. How do I change the formula that it only shows the total only if all the numbers (A1:A4) are present. Remove A2 for a blank cell and the total should also be blank. The group of numbers will change per column, so it won't always be four.
Consider
=IF(COUNTBLANK(A1:A4)=0,SUM(A1:A4),"")
