I would like to get e.g. min or max value from column2 for same value in column1.
In mine example I want max value from column2 for value A (column1) and that is 18, and for B is 27.
I've tried with array function but I cannot manage it to work properly.
Tnx for any tip or solution.
Example:
Column1 Column2 Max_value
A 1 18
A 5 18
A 18 18
A 3 18
A 4 18
B 2 27
B 5 27
B 18 27
B 27 27
B 5 27
B 3 27
Sorry for poor example, but I couldn't post picture, my rank is not high enough :)
The standard "array formula" is like this for C2
=MAX(IF(A$2:A$100=A2,B$2:B$100))
confirmed with CTRL+SHIFT+ENTER and copied down column - adjust ranges as required
replace MAX with MIN to get the minimum values in the next column
This is a cinch with pivot tables. Here's one way to do it.

I am working in excel and for some reason my sum or count function is not working properly. Or, perhaps I am not using the correct function or in the right way.

IF(SUM(A:A>0),28,"")
IF(SUM(E:E>0),31,"")
I have the above columns, I want the Max columns to show a specific number only if there is data in their respective month column. February has data, so it shows 28. March does not have any data so it shows no max. I need to look at the entire column or at least a large area (row 2 to row 2000).
The issue I am having is that if I do not have a value in the first row, but do have values in later rows, the sum or count function will to recognize that and will return zero.

IF(SUM(A:A>0),28,"")
I have tried both sum and count functions, neither are giving me the results I want. I have also tried making >= 1. I found from StackExchange that someone was having a similar problem and a solution was to change the cell format to a number. That did not work either. Any suggestions?
Per my comment, you could use COUNTA() which checks if a cell is blank.
While it doesn't answer the technical reason SUM/COUNT isn't working, it should work for your intended purposes.
=IF(COUNTA(A:A)>0,28,"")
I have the following data.
Z Y Z Z
A1 A2 A3 A4 Total
1 2 5 10 16
2 3 5 11 18
3 4 6 12 21
4 4 7 12 23
I want to sum the rows using Just Zs ( the name of columns). I have a big data set, so I want to write a function to find out Zs in the whole sheet and the then sum them (Total).
Any Help would be appreciated
This can be done with SUMIF():
=SUMIF($1:$1,"Z",2:2)
NOTE
With the above formula it is using full row references so DO NOT put "Z" on top of the total column or it will throw circular errors.
If you want to have "Z" above it then you need to define the ranges:
=SUMIF(A$1:D$1,"Z",A2:D2)
How does this work:
=Sum(If(A$1:D$1="Z",$A$2:$D$100))
Assuming your headers are in row 1, columns A to D, and your data starts in row 2, and goes to row 100.
I have a spread sheet that has computers in the furthest left column with their specs in columns B - L. There are a lot of extraneous computers in this list I don't need to work on, so I wrote a little Python script to pull out the bad values from the computer list (what was in column A). I then inserted a column to the left of column A (so what was in A is now in B and the good values are in A). I basically need to keep column A as it is, make column B match it and also remove the corresponding specs of the computers I don't need to worry about, but keep everything sorted so I know what specs go with what computer I need to work. Is there any way to do this in Excel?
thanks
Vlookup should do the trick
Assuming the current source data looks like this:
A A 1 2 3 5 6
D B 7 8 9 10 11
F C 12 13 14 15 16
D 17 18 19 20 21
E 22 23 24 25 26
F 27 28 29 30 31
G 32 33 34 35 36
and desired output is this
A 1 2 3 5 6
D 17 18 19 20 21
F 27 28 29 30 31
On a new sheet to keep it clean
Assuming SHeet1 has your current data
in Sheet2 column a Sheet4!A1
in Sheet2 column B VLOOKUP(Sheet4!B1,Sheet4!$B$1:$G$7,2,0)
VLOOKUP(Sheet4!B1,Sheet4!$B$1:$G$7,3,0) for column C and etc
dirty and tedious, but should work.
I think you should try adding data into columnA (new) based on whether the (new) columnB values feature in the good list (elsewhere), say with MATCH. If they do not #N/A should be returned and that might be used to filter on and delete what is visible.
If your 'good' list is in Sheet2 column C you might try:
=MATCH(B1,Sheet2!C:C,0)
copied down to suit.
Hi and thanks for any help with this in advance
Below is a hypothetical data set; abundance = count data; mud% = the mud content in which the animals were found; mud bin = bins i've made up depending on the mud%; and UQ = upper quartile of the abundance data from its corresponding mud bin (i.e. the upper quartile for the abundance data in mud bin 1 is 17.25 etc).
Problem:
In excel, for abundance data in each of the four mud bins, I'm wanting to extract any values in the abundance column that are >= the upper quartile value for that particular mud bin and place these in a new column on the same sheet (with no gaps between rows from values that didn't meet the criteria) along with their corresponding mud% value in the neighboring cell. I've added the new columns to the below sheet to give you an idea of what I'm after.
abundance | mud% | mud bin | UQ | | New column | Mud% |
18 10.9 1 18 10.9(mud bid 1)
15 6.5 1 44 38.9(mud bin 1)
6 13.4 1 45 38 (mud bin 2)
13 42.1 1 37 37.8(mud bin 2)
15 36.4 1 etc
44 38.9 1 17.25 etc
22 46 2
30 36.4 2
45 38 2
29 35.3 2
37 37.8 2
29 41.8 2 35.25
11 44.4 3
17 47.8 3
21 40.7 3
15 13.9 3
35 13.9 3
14 13.9 3
15 13.9 3 19
19 12 4
14 12 4
10 12 4
12 12 4
14 12 4
13 12 4
45 9.525 4
66 9.525 4
78 9.525 4 45
The reality is I have a rather large dataset containing abundance data for a number of species, all on the same excel sheet and would greatly appreciate any insight into how I might achieve this in the most efficient manor.
For starters, to make this explanation simpler, I will assume that the last row of data is in row 100.
Populate Upper Quartile values for all line items
First you'll need to use the Quartile formula; however, since you want to find the upper quartile within a bin, you'll have to use an array formula. Put this formula in your UQ column (place in cell D2 and drag down). When entering the formula Be sure to press Ctrl+Shift before pressing Enter
=QUARTILE(IF($C$2:$C$100=C2,$A$2:$A$100,""),3)
The first part of this formula, $C$2:$C$100=C2 is your condition. Everywhere this condition is met, you will get the corresponding value in $A$2:$A$100; otherwise, you'll get a blank value. This will give you an array of abundance values that matches the indicated mudbin, C2. now that you have your subset of data, the quartile function will give you the value in the 3rd quartile (17.25 for mudbin 1, which will be placed next to every row that has a mudbin of 1).
Now that we have all the quartiles, we can get all the abundance values that are greater than the UQ for that mudbin. This is done in two parts
Get abundance values greater than mudbin UQ
First, you need to select one column of cells that has the same number of rows as your data (for example, select cells F2:F100)
Enter the following formula into the formula bar (while F2:F100 are highlighted) and press Ctrl+Shift, then enter
=IF($A$2:$A$100>$D$2:$D$100,$A$2:$A$100,"")
Similar to the IF statement used before, this formula finds all the abundance values that are greater than their corresponding UQ value. Now column F will have an abundance number where it is greater than it's UQ value, and a blank where it is not. Now onto the final step.
Populate abundance values that are greater than the UQ value, without the blanks
Select G2:G100 (your "New Column" in your sample data)
Enter the following formula into the formula bar (while G2:G100 are highlighted) and press Ctrl+Shift, then enter
=INDEX(F2:F100,SMALL(IF(F2:F100<>"",ROW(F2:F100)-1),ROW()-ROW($F$1)))
Looking at the IF statement again, this will find every value in F2:F100 that is not blank, but instead of grabbing the values, we'll keep track of the row number of that non blank value (done by ROW(F2:F100)-1
). Now that we have the row numbers of all the non blank values, we can grab the non-blank values in order and populate them in G2:G100. ROW()-ROW($F$1) is a counter, and SMALL will use the counter to determine the nth smallest number to return. Once we have our row number of the non blank value, INDEX returns that value
Finally, to populate the Mud%, you'll need to use the row number of the non blank values to get the mud% and the mud bin (You have the formula already to get the row number of the non blank value).
It's not a simple answer, but at least you won't have to use VBA.
I have a table with three columns in Excel, a,b and c.
One cell has a numeric value X [say 25], I need to get the value in the c column such that X should be in between min and max column. For X=25 the value in c is "20" since X is between the min and max values for the 5th table row.
I'm looking for a range or between kind of function, but couldn't find a function with either name.
a b c
-----------------------------
min max improvements
0 1 70
2 5 60
6 10 50
11 20 30
21 30 20
31 40 10
41 80 5
You want to look up in that table of yours which improvement value is correct if some value is "25"; in this case that would mean to match line 5 of your table and return the value 20.
You are looking for VLOOKUP, e.g.
=VLOOKUP(B12;A2:C8;2)
