In excel, how do I write a formula that does the following:
In a certain cell range, if the cell contains a non-numeric entry, add one, or else add the number the cell contains.
for example
4
xyz
def
bc
2
0
=9
or
1
ab
cd
2
af
=6
Contents of the data A1:A6
4
xyz
x
2
y
0
Write the following formula in cell B1
=SUM(A1:A6)+(COUNTA(A1:A6)-COUNT(A1:A6))
I would use an array function:
{=SUM(IF(ISNUMBER(A1:F1);A1:F1;1))}
Enter by writing "=SUM(IF(ISNUMBER(A1:F1);A1:F1;1))" and pressing Ctrl+Shift+Enter.
A | B | C | D | E | F | G
--+---+---+---+---+---+---+---
1 | 4 | a | b | c | 2 | 0 | {=SUM(IF(ISNUMBER(A1:F1);A1:F1;1))}
What I would do is write a the formula
=ISERROR(Cell+0, 1)
next to each cell, and then sum across these cells.
What the formula does is it returns the value of the cell if the cell is a number, and it returns the number 1 if the operation "cell + 0" errors out (e.g. when the cell's value is not a number).
See the picture below for how i applied this to your first example.

The issue:
I have cells containing strings, example:
Cell A | Cell B | Cell C | Cell D | Cell E | .....
1234 256 | 5424H-84 | 47-1223-7z-334| TARGET CELL | 12 fw e | .....
What formula do I need to look at the contents of Cell C for the characters "7z" or even "23" or "z-3", if present then to combine cell A and Cell B in to Cell D?
I've tried many things that I can think of and yet either get 0 or blank lines...
Try:
=IF(IFERROR(SEARCH("7z",C1,1),-1)>0,CONCATENATE(A1,B1))
So I have an example below of what I'm wanting to do.
Basically I need to Index Column B from Sheet 1 into Sheet 2 BUT ONLY if the values in Column W in Sheet 1 are greater than 0. If it's not then I don't want it to be included in. The only column to Index is B starting from row 5 to say 100. Same for Column W.
I was trying to do it myself as I found This which is very similar as what I'm wanting to do but I couldn't figure it out.
Sheet 1
Row# Column B | Column(s)… | Column W
=================================
5) Thing 1 | | 0
6) Thing 2 | | 3
7) Thing 3 | | 0
8) Thing 4 | | 1
Sheet 2
Row# Column B | Column C | Column D
=================================
5) Thing 2 | 3 |
6) Thing 4 | 1 |
7) | |
8) | |
EDIT #3
You can use either SMALL, LARGE function to return the values from Column B on your Sheet1.
Presume you have given the following names:
Sheet1ColB: Sheet1!B5:B100
Sheet1ColW: Sheet1!W5:W100
Here is the formula to be put in Cell B5 on your Sheet2. Please note it is an array formula so you need to press Ctrl+Shift+Enter to confirm.
{=IFERROR(INDEX(Sheet1ColB,SMALL(IF((Sheet1ColW>0)*(LEN(Sheet1ColW)>0),ROW(Sheet1ColW)),ROW()-4)-4),"")}
or
{=IFERROR(INDEX(Sheet1ColB,LARGE(IF((Sheet1ColW>0)*(LEN(Sheet1ColW)>0),ROW(Sheet1ColW)),ROW()-4)-4),"")}
You can then use INDEX+MATCH to return the value from Column W on your Sheet1 in Column C on your Sheet2:
=IFERROR(INDEX(Sheet1ColW,MATCH(B5,Sheet1ColB,0)),"")
In the above screen-shot Solution 2 is using AGGREGATE which follows the same logic as SMALL/LARGE.
As you can see the sample data has taken into account duplicated values in Sheet 1 Col W, blank cells in both Column W and Column B on Sheet1, and blank cells, negative value or 0 value in Column B only on Sheet1.
Cheers :)
Use AGGREGATE() formula to filter based on condition.
=IFERROR(INDEX($A$5:$A$8,AGGREGATE(15,6,(ROW($A$5:$A$8)-ROW($A$4))/($B$5:$B$8>0),ROW(1:1))),"")
I have 2 sheet in a excel file. one is a Dictionary sheet and 2nd is a sheet containing a column of text. I want to match the dictionary keywords columns one by one and then the number of match keywords counts in each cell of the text column.
I have tried these formulas:
=(LEN(B2)-LEN(SUBSTITUTE(B2,Sheet1!A:A,"")))/LEN(Sheet1!A:A)
in this B2 is the first (start) cell of the text column and Sheet1!A:A is the dictionary column of other sheet.
but by this i get zero as a result
=(LEN(B2)-LEN(SUBSTITUTE(B2,Sheet1!A:A,"")))/LEN(Sheet1!A:A)
The result will be like this:
Text number_of_keyword_match | number_of_keyword_match using DIC col 2 | ........
using DIC col 1
1 any Text or sentence/sentences e.g match "3"
2 7
3 0
4 15
5 .................................................
7 .....................................................
.......................................................
..................................continue up to 2815 rows....
Assuming your text input looks like this:
| A |
-+----------------------+
1|apple apple beat beat |
2|apple beat beat carrot|
3|carrot apple apple |
and your dictionary looks like this:
| A | B |
-+-------+-------+
1|apple |beat |
2|beat |carrot |
3| | |
This formula will give you the count per word per cell of text
=(LEN(text!A1)-LEN(SUBSTITUTE(text!A1,dictionary!A1,"")))/LEN(dictionary!A1)
(In this example 2)
If I understand correctly, your expected output would be extra columns in the text sheet where each cell contains the sum of counts of each word in the corresponding column in dictionary, right? For example:
| A | B | C |
-+----------------------+---+---+
1|apple apple beat beat | 4 | 2 |
2|apple beat beat carrot| 3 | 3 |
3|carrot apple apple | 2 | 1 |
You can use array formulas to do this, starting with this one in cell B1:
=SUM(IFERROR((LEN(text!$A1)-LEN(SUBSTITUTE(text!$A1;dictionary!A:A;"")))/LEN(dictionary!A:A);0))
But instead of pressing Enter after pasting it in, press Ctrl+Shift+Enter to run it as an array formula. Then drag this formula down and to the right to get all the counts you want.
I would consider countif(), as an example:
=COUNTIF(Sheet2!A1:A10,Sheet1!A1)
which assumes your list starts in cell A1 on sheet1 and your text in cell a1 on sheet2.
To drag the formula as I showed it, without the data range moving you need :
=COUNTIF(Sheet2!A$1:A$10,Sheet1!A1)
if you put $ before the letters, then the columns don't move.
Using Google spreadsheet, I need a column to show relative row numbering, so that:
Spreadsheet rows can be moved around, and numbering stays relative (meaning that if I move row number 12 between rows 4 and 5, this row becomes number 5, previous 5 becomes 6, etc.)
Using a condition based upon a cell value in a given row, the row numbering cell may be empty (or not); if empty, that row number is being skipped, and numbering takes back up in the next row where the condition is unmatched.
Here is an example:
| Row nbr | B col. | [Explanation] |
|---------|:-------:|-------------------------------------|
| R01 | Value 1 | |
| R02 | Value 1 | |
| R03 | Value 2 | |
| | Value 3 | Col. B value = 3 => Col. A is empty |
| R04 | Value 2 | Numbering takes up |
| R05 | Value 1 | |
| | Value 3 | Col. B value = 3 => Col. A is empty |
| R06 | Value 2 | Numbering takes up |
| ETC. | | |
Here, the condition (to skip numbering) would be "IF corresponding B cell = Value 3" (then skip numbering)
Right now, I'm using a formula that matches requirement #1 above:
=ROW(INDIRECT("A"&ROW()&":A"))-9
(The trailing "-9" is just an offset so numbering can start at 01 from row 10).
So basically, I need to adapt (or change) this code so that besides relative numbering, for row N, if corresponding B column cell value = XYZ, then A column cell is empty (vs. numbered): that row is being skipped, and numbering takes back up from N on the next row where the B cell value ≠ XYZ.
Here's a Google spreadsheet example.
Many TIA's.
I strongly recommend not to use ROW() with explicitly specified offset in formula because should you delete/add rows above your table, your will have to adjust formulas in all cells. Here's my solution (column A:A is row numbers, B:B - values, start adding formula in cell A10):
=IF($B10="Value 3","",ROWS($B$10:$B10)-COUNTIF($B$10:$B10,"Value 3"))
Or if you insist on relative rows (change 10 to your offset from top):
=IF(INDIRECT("B"&ROW())="Value 3","",ROWS(INDIRECT("B"&10&":B"&ROW()))-COUNTIF(INDIRECT("B"&10&":B"&ROW()),"Value 3"))
I have an excel sheet, which value of column A >= B in the same row.
I would like to know given a cell in column B, how could I find out the lowest cell of A which B > A? (It should return a cell address but not the value)
For example, the following shows cells from A1 to B7 in a sheet:
A B
------
1 | 1 1
2 | 3 2
3 | 5 3
4 | 7 4
5 | 9 5
6 | 10 6
7 | 15 10
Now I would like to input B6, then it should return A3 (since 6 > 5)
Another example, if I input B7, then it should return A5 (since 10 > 9)
Is there any approach (or similar approach) by using excel formula? Or should I use other methods?
If your input value is in cell E1, and your return value is in cell E2 (as shown in below image), then you can use this formula in cell E2:
=IF(E1="","",INDEX(A1:A7,MAX(1,MATCH(TRUE,INDEX(A1:A7>=E1,),0)-1)))
Input Cell E1 (enter the address from column B here)
F1: =ADDRESS(LOOKUP(2,1/(INDIRECT(E1)>ColA),ROW(ColA)),1,4)
Given your data, if you enter B6 in E1, A3 will show in F1
