I have two columns of data, they look something like this:
A B C D
1 2 SOME RECORD
2 6 SOME RECORD
3 10 SOME RECORD
4
5
6
7
8
9
10
So basically column A is a list of indices, where some of them appear in column C with corresponding records saved in column D. Column B is currently empty, and what I want to do is if say index 2 appears in both column A and column C (they matches), then put the record beside C2 in the cell B2. So essentially I want it to look like this:
A B C D
1 2 SOME RECORD
2 SOME RECORD 6 SOME RECORD
3 10 SOME RECORD
4
5
6 SOME RECORD
7
8
9
10 SOME RECORD
Can someone help please?!! Thanks!!!
UPDATE: I tried this and it doesn't work. The data in column D is calculated using a UDF and is refreshing every 1 second. The VLOOKUP function fails even though I can see the 2 indices are the same!! Is it because of the format of the cell or column? I.e. does vlookup compare data type as well?
Assuming your data in A starts from A1 - put in B1 the following and autofill:
=IFERROR(VLOOKUP($A1,$C:$D,2,0),"")
This includes handling of missing values.
You'll want this:
B1=VLOOKUP(A1, C:D, 2, FALSE)
This will look up the value in column A within the array spanning columns C and D. It will give you the value found in the second column (D). FALSE makes it an exact match, otherwise you might get 2 and 20 matching because hey, they're kind of similar...

I've column of values 1-10 missing 4 and 7 can I extract 1-3,5-6,7-10.
Currently I'm using this formula =IF(A3=A2+1,C2,C2+1) which gives me helper column sort of help
but my list is long If I could extract ranges that would be helpful.
There are no duplicates
I'm not sure if I understand exactly what you mean, but this is what I have done until now: I have copied the same columns A and B, and I have added following columns:
Column C : =COUNTIF(B$2:B$16,B2)
Column D : =IF(AND(C2=C3,C3<>C4),"End",IF(AND(C2<>C3,C3=C4),"Begin"))
The result looks as follows:
As you can see:
The number 1 from column B ends at row 6, and D6 indeed indicates "End".
The number 2 from B starts at row 7 (D7="Begin") and ends at row 8 (D8="End").
The numbers 3 and 4 are not correctly handled but:
As far as 5 is concerned: it starts at row 11 (D11="Begin") and ends at row 15 (D15="End").
There still is some finetuning to do but I guess you see how the ranges start being unfold.
Excel-Sheet:
A B C D E
1 1.200
2 Product A 500
3 Product B 400
4 Product C OK
5 Product D #NA
6 Product E 300
7
8
In the above table I have list of products in Column A and some data about the products in Column B.
In Cell B1 I want to calculated the subtotal of Column B using =SUBTOTAL(9,B2:B6).
However, now I have the issue that Column B not only consists of numbers.
It can also have the data type text (OK, NA). Therefore, the result in Cell B1 currently is #NA.
Is there any kind of formula that I could use so only the number data is considered and the result is 1.200 as in the table above?
Please note:
This function =AGGREGATE(9,6,B2:B6) won't help me because I want to filter the list later on so I need to go with the SUBTOTAL.
Use 7 as the second criterion in AGGREGATE instead of 6 as it will also exclude hidden rows:
=AGGREGATE(9,7,B2:B6)
You can solve this, combining the Excel worksheet functions =Value() and =IfERROR():
The function =Value() gives the value of a number, and in case of text it gives an error.
=IfError() can be used to give 0 in that case.
So, imagine you have following situation:
Column A Column B Column C
1 =Value(A1) =IfError(B1;0)
3.5 =Value(A2) =IfError(B2;0)
AB =Value(A3) =IfError(B3;0)
abc10 =Value(A4) =IfError(B4;0)
This gives following results:
Column A Column B Column C
1 1 1
3.5 3.5 3.5
AB #Value 0
abc10 #Value 0
You can simply take the sum of column C.
So this is based on the summary in B1.
=SUM(IF(ISERROR(B2:B6),"",B2:B6))
You need to push Ctrl+Shft+Enter for this to work.
Hope it helps.
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 am trying to count the last value before it resets back to zero multiple times per column. Here is my example
1
2
3
4
5
6
7
8
0
1
2
3
4
5
6
0
1
0
0
1
2
3
0
And the list goes on but for this example I would be looking to do something like a LARGE or SMALL where I could get the answers like this:
8
6
1
3
Ultimately I would like them to be in the descending order, but if that isn't part of the formula I can take care of that if I can just figure out a way to capture them.
Can this be done?
You can try the following in column B try the following =IF(A2=0,IF(A1=0,"";A1),"")
then filter column B on non blank value
Put your original data in column B
In cell A2 enter:
=IF(AND(B2<>0, B3=0),MAX($A$1:A1)+1,"")
and copy down. Finally in C1 enter:
=VLOOKUP(ROW(),$A$1:$B$23,2,FALSE)
and copy down till you see errors. Should look like:
Basically column A is a "helper" column used to mark all the "good" values to facilitate easy pick-up
Merge all unique values if another cell matches. I already know how to merge cells but now some information is double. So what I would like to achieve is the following:
if column A has the same name, then all values given in column B for
that name must be given only ONCE in a new column.
My data has a row names and a row mode, for example (Row 1 is header)
A B
2 Brenda a
3 Brenda a
4 Joey a
5 Joey b
So I want:
E
2 a
3
4 a,b
5
I already did merge the modes in column 3:
=IF(A1<>A2;B2;C1&","&B2)
So I get in this example:
C
2 a
3 a,a
4 a
5 a,b
Then, I already did that only the first record get the additional modes in column 4:
=IF(A1=A2;"";INDEX(Sheet1!$C:$C;COUNTIF(Sheet1!$A:$A;$A2)+MATCH($A2;Sheet1!$A:$A;0) -1))
So I get in this example
D
2 a,a
3
4 a,b
5
Now I need a column that only uniques values are given for each name. So in this example:
E
2 a
3
4 a,b
5
If I am understanding how your data is structured, try this:
Add a new column, say column G for ease of explanation, that concatenates the name and mode in each row. So, cell G2="Brendaa", G3="Brendaa", G4="Joeya", G5="Joeyb", etc.
In your merge step you will test whether the current value in the cell for this column matches any previous values in the column: If no, you do the merge; if yes, you don't.
Your merge formula would change to something like the following:
=IF(A1<>A2,B2,IF(ISERROR(VLOOKUP(G2,G$1:G1,1,0)),C1&","&B2,""))
Then you would the next step as before.
