I would like to SELECT 3 rows above and below WHERE Column B = someValue .
IF query SELECT * WHERE Column B = "Andrew" result should look like:
Column A
Column B
Column C

I know how to select one row, but cant understand how to select such range.
Thanks for ideas!
You can limit and offset inside your QUERY():
=QUERY(A1:C,"limit "&2+MIN(5,MATCH(D1,B:B,0))&" offset "&MAX(0,MATCH(D1,B:B,0)-5))
Well, this was fun...
If 3 above or below are not available then blank... rolling data around is a different proposition.
Below the image is the list of formulae used.
So, per cell not including the data validation that is based on cells B2:B11
A14 and dragged down:
=IFERROR(INDEX($A$2:$A$11,MATCH(B14,$B$2:$B$11,0)),"")
C14 and dragged down:
=IFERROR(INDEX($C$2:$C$11,MATCH(B14,$B$2:$B$11,0)),"")
Cells B14 through B20:
=IFERROR(IF(MATCH(B$17,$B$2:$B$11,0)=3,NA(),INDEX($B$2:$B$11,MATCH(B$17,$B$2:$B$11,0)-3)),"")
=IFERROR(IF(MATCH(B$17,$B$2:$B$11,0)=2,NA(),INDEX($B$2:$B$11,MATCH(B$17,$B$2:$B$11,0)-2)),"")
=IFERROR(IF(MATCH(B$17,$B$2:$B$11,0)=1,NA(),INDEX($B$2:$B$11,MATCH(B$17,$B$2:$B$11,0)-1)),"")
=E2
=IFERROR(INDEX($B$2:$B$11,MATCH(B$17,$B$2:$B$11,0)+1),"")
=IFERROR(INDEX($B$2:$B$11,MATCH(B$17,$B$2:$B$11,0)+2),"")
=IFERROR(INDEX($B$2:$B$11,MATCH(B$17,$B$2:$B$11,0)+3),"")
In Excel 365, you could try:
=INDEX(A:C,MAX(2,MATCH(D2,B:B,0)-3),0):INDEX(A:C,MIN(COUNTA(B:B),MATCH(D2,B:B,0)+3),0)
In Google sheets, on the other hand, the formula would be:
=INDEX(A:C,MAX(2,MATCH(D2,B:B,0)-3),0):INDEX(A:C,MIN(COUNTA(B:B),MATCH(D2,B:B,0)+3),0)
(spot the difference).
Excel
Google Sheets
This should produce what you want in all cases:
=IFERROR(FILTER(A2:C,B2:B<>"",ROW(A2:A)>=VLOOKUP("Andrew",{B2:B,ROW(B2:B)},2,FALSE)-3,ROW(A2:A)<=VLOOKUP("Andrew",{B2:B,ROW(B2:B)},2,FALSE)+3))
Of course, you can replace the two instances of "Andrew" with a cell reference (one where you type a changeable name).
This just looks up the row in a curly-bracket array formed from the names and row numbers and uses FILTER to keep results to rows between +/-3 rows of where the target name is found. If you choose the first name (or any other name), you won't get an error; because even if the target name were on Row 1 and the formula goes looking for anything "greater than or equal to 1 minus 3, all rows will be greater than a negative number. Same on the high end. You just won't get a full seven names if there aren't at least three other rows prior to or after the target row.
this not the best solution but it will work , you can use a helper column 'D' that contains the following formula =if(countif(INDIRECT("B"&ROW()+3&":"&"B"&ROW()-3),"Andrew")>0,TRUE,FASLE)
and u can query from here like this SELECT * WHERE Column D = TRUE
I have one column with 10 cells, every cell have a different value in it. How can I create two columns that have every cell matching with the other 9.
Example :

7
8
9
10
Become
1 2
1 3
1 4
1 5
......
2 1
2 3
2 4
2 5
.....
10 1
10 2
10 3
10 4
10 5
10 6
10 7
10 8
10 9
I am not sure I read the same question as others did. I think your example was merely that, an example, and that these first 10 cells could contain anything and you wanted every permutation that could result. While I think that the other answers might work for the specific situation you describe, they may not work if you had other data in those cells. Hence I am offering a variation which uses a similar technique to reference the cells indirectly. The permutations of 2 objects from a set of 10 unique objects would result in 90 objects (which is why the above technique from Tom Sharpe references 90).
Assuming that you have your 10 items in A1 through A10, I would put the following formula in B1 and copy it down through B90:
=INDIRECT("R""IENT(ROW()-1,9)+1&"C1",FALSE)
Also, I would use this formula in C1 and copy it down through C90:
=INDIRECT("R"&MOD(ROW()-1,9)+1+((MOD(ROW()-1,9)+1)>=QUOTIENT(ROW()-1,9)+1)&"C1",FALSE)
The result should give you something like what is shown in the attached matching your example.
Likewise, it would show the permutations of any values you had in A1 through A10 as shown in the second attached picture with words instead of the numbers 1 through 10.
In Excel (without VBA or such like), one way:
In A1 and copied down to A100: =INT((ROW()+9)/10).
In B1 and copied down with Ctr to B10: 1.
Select B1:B10 and copy down with Ctrl to B100.
In C1 and copied down to C100: =A1=B1.
Select ColumnsA:B, Copy, Paste Special, Values.
Filter A:C ,select TRUE in ColumnC and delete all blue indexed (visible content) rows.
Delete ColumnC.
Or in A1:
=QUOTIENT(ROW()-1,9)+1
copied down to A90 just to be different.
Then in B1:
=MOD(ROW()-1,9)+1+((MOD(ROW()-1,9)+1)>=A1)
copied down to B90.
Before I get started thanks for taking your time and helping.
This is what my worksheet looks like:
Row # B C D E F
2 1 Product 1 B2 B3 B4
3 2
4 6
5 1 Product 2 B5 B6
6 5
7 4 Product 3 B7
I was trying to follow this formula: (The best answer one or green check mark) return values from multiple matching rows
I got all the way to the =IFERROR(INDIRECT(lookups!H5),"") but can not get this to work.
What I am tying to do is order the numbers in Column B to go to the right of the product. Which I was able to get the column it is in (B) and the row number it is in (B2). I would like to change the value (B2) to the number that is there.
I would like it to look like this:
Row # C D E F
2 Product 1 1 2 6
3
4
5 Product 2 1 5
6
7 Product 3 4
If someone could help explain this to me or find a better way that would be great.
Not sure what is to happen to columnB but if you replace B with "="B throughout columns D:F then select each of these in turn and apply Text to Columns with Tab as the delimiter the 'cell references' convert to formulae referring to the values in B. If you want to delete columnB copy D:F and Paste Special, Values over the top.
I have 2 sheets with different values. I need to find a value from one cell.sheet1 in sheet2 and copy value from nextcell_in_the_same_row.sheet1 to nextcell_in_the_same_row.sheet2.
It is very difficult to explain let look at the example bellow.
E.g.
Before
first sheet:
A B
1 aaa 123
2 bbb 456
3 ccc 789
4 ddd 122
second sheet:
A B
1 aaa
2 ada
3 cca
4 ccc
After
first sheet:
A B
1 aaa 123
2 bbb 456
3 ccc 789
4 ddd 122
second sheet:
A B
1 aaa *need to find value in the first sheet and copy value from B2 because aaa in A1*
2 ada *value does not exist in the first sheet so copy nothing*
3 cca *not need to copy because no value in the first sheet*
4 ccc *need to copy the value from B3*
Thank you so much!
Use a VLOOKUP along with an IFERROR.
=IFERROR(VLOOKUP(A1, Sheet1!A:B, 2, 0), "")
This will do what you described (well described, by the way!) in your question. Drag the formula down in Sheet2 till the bottom.
VLOOKUP takes the value of A1 in sheet 2 (no sheet reference because the value is in the same sheet as the formula) and looks it up in column A of Sheet1.
It returns the second value (hence why 2) of the table selected in the formula (column A is 1, column B is 2).
The 0 tells the VLOOKUP to look for exact matches. You don't need approximate match here.
And IFFERROR is there in case VLOOKUP doesn't find anything (like with ada) and instead of giving #N/A, returns an empty cell, "".
Using vlookup, when a match occurs, I want to display the value of column C from sheet 2 from the same row where the match occurred. The formula I came up with takes the value from column C sheet 2 but it takes it from the row where the formula is pasted on sheet 3 instead of where the match occurred.
Here's my formula that doesn't work:
=IF(VLOOKUP(Sheet1!A:A,Sheet2!A:A,1,FALSE),Sheet2!C:C,"NODATA")
How can I take the value from the row where the match occurred?
To be clear, I am not entirely certain I understand what you are trying to achieve. Maybe the following helps...
Suppose I have 3 sheets in a workbook as follows:
Sheet1 Sheet2 Sheet3
A A B C A B
1 10 2 h Apple 10 Apple
2 20 g 4 Banana 25 n/a
3 30 l ! Pear 40 Grape
4 40 g * Grape 30 Pear
In column B of Sheet 3 I have the following formula:
=INDEX(Sheet2!$C$1:$C$4,MATCH(VLOOKUP(A1,Sheet1!$A$1:$A$4,1,FALSE),Sheet1!$A$1:$A$4,1))
To explain:
The VLOOKUP looks up the value from Sheet 3, Col A in Sheet1
The MATCH returns the row in Sheet1 of the VLOOKUP result
The INDEX then uses the row number to pick the right value from the value in Sheet2
Again, not sure if this is what you wanted exactly. It may help you get you started...
You need to manually get the index you're looking for, then get the value at that index:
=INDEX(Sheet2!C:C, MATCH(Sheet1!A:A,Sheet2!A:A,FALSE))
