Formula is to find the difference of multiples to be used in excel for an ordering form. For example, orders of items must be placed in multiples of 6, for every 6 ordered you get one free. So for 6 calculated result needs to display "1 item free". For 12 calculated result needs to show "2 items free". For 11 would need to display "Order 1 more, or 5 less".
How do I define this formula/calculation in an excel spreadsheet?
You want modular math:
e.g. 14 items purchased, buy in groups of 5:
14 mod 5 = 4
buy 1 more (5 - 4) or 4 less.

I have a list of part numbers that are used in 4 different top level assemblies. The parts can be used in 1 to 4 of the top level assemblies. I'm trying to write a formula that will count how many unique top level assemblies a part number occurs in. I had previously written a formula that worked, but it uses UNIQUE and FILTER, and my coworkers don't have Excel 365, so those formulas aren't supported for them. I've been trying to come up with a workaround and would really appreciate any help :)
I have an example (I can't provide any real data) section of our spreadsheet and an image of the formula I had that was working

=SUM(--(LEN(UNIQUE(FILTER(A:A, C:C=C2, "")))>0))
Picture of the excel sheet
Picture of working formula
Use the following formula in row 2: =SUMPRODUCT(--(FREQUENCY(IF($B$2:$B$20=$B2,$A$2:$A$20),$A$2:$A$20)>0))
*I think it doesn't require ctrl+shift-enter in older Excel versions, since SUMPRODUCT is an array formula by default.
The formula checks the frequency of values in column A where column B matches the value in the current row. It returns the count per unique value meeting the condition. Wrapping it in -- & >0 returns 1 for each unique value. SUMPRODUCT sums them.
Edit:
I realized that the top level assembly values are actual text, not numeric values. In that case (since it's all numeric values stored as text) you can use this workaround:
=SUMPRODUCT(--(FREQUENCY(IF($B$2:$B$20=$B2,--($A$2:$A$20)),--($A$2:$A$20))>0))
It converts the text to numbers.
Sidenotes to this workaround:
If any value would contain a character other than numeric it will not get counted.
If you have both values like 02554 and 2554 they'll both get converted to 2554 and counted likewise.
Edit 2:
For text use the following:
=SUMPRODUCT(IF($B$2:$B$20=$B2, 1/(COUNTIFS($B$2:$B$20, $B2, $A$2:$A$20, $A$2:$A$20)), 0))
Given 2 named tables in Excel 2013 (or higher):
tblInvoice
ID InvRef Total
1 I/123 45
2 I/234 8
tblDeliveries
ID InvRef Amt
1 I/123 10
2 I/123 15
3 I/123 20
4 I/234 5
5 I/234 3
How can we get the tblInvoice[Total] to compute automatically using an Excel formula? i.e. in pseudocode:
tblDeliveries[Total] = SUM(tblDeliveries[Amt] WHERE MATCH InvRef)
I have tried this Excel formula in tblInvoice[InvTotal] but it is returning an incorrect value:
=SUMPRODUCT(SUMIF(tblDeliveries[InvRef],[InvRef],tblDeliveries[Amt]))
Also tried swapping the first and second parameters. Produces a different amount, but still incorrect:
=SUMPRODUCT(SUMIF([InvRef],tblDeliveries[InvRef],tblDeliveries[Amt]))
If relevant, it is assumed that there is a 1:N relationship from tblInvoice[InvRef]:tblDeliveries[InvRef] and that tblInvoice[InvRef] is UNIQUE.
The syntax is incorrect for what you require.
=SUMPRODUCT(SUMIF(tblDeliveries[InvRef],[#InvRef],tblDeliveries[Amt]))
The # is the crucial difference.

Hi everyone I have an excel question on how to rank but based first on a a ranking but then next on a second priority of a group. The formula is written in column 'Final_Rank' and I just hid a bunch of rows to show the clear example. Within the column Rank is just a normal rank function. I want the priority to be within Rank first, but then to add the next rank to the next item of the same group*. So if you look at Group HYP it will supersede ranked (3 and 4) and then 5 would be given to the next newest group.
I hope this is a clear explanation, thanks.
Group Rank Final_Rank_Manual
TAM 1 1
HYP 2 2
GAB 3 5
HYO 4 8
ALO 5 9
HYP 7 3
ACO 8 12
IBU 9 13
ACO 11 14
ALO 18 10
GAB 44 6
IBU 53 15
IBU 123 16
GAB 167 7
HYP 199 4
You can do this with an extra helper column. Assuming your table currently occupies columns A-C, with one header row, put the following in C2:
=SMALL(IF($A$2:$A$6=A2,$B$2:$B$6,9999999999),1)+(B2*0.000000001)
You'll need to enter this as an array formula by using Ctrl+Shift+Enter↵. Copy it down throughout the whole column. This gives you the group's ranking, and it adds a tiny decimal indicating the individual values position within each group. (e.g. the 3rd "HYP" value is converted to something like 2.0000000199, because out of all the available values, the second lowest belongs to "HYP", and this specific "HYP" value is 199).
Next, enter the following in D2 and copy it down throughout the column:
=RANK(C2,$C$2:$C$6,1)
This will give you the "Final" rankings. There won't be any ties because of the tiny decimals we added in the previous formula. The results end up looking just like your sample.
I would like to sort my Excel file by horodate so when we switch from summer time to winter time data is ordered by chronological order and so that when I create a graph the data is represented in the right order.
When i sort by horodate (from a to Z) i obtain that:
Horodate Value Chronological order
2014-10-26T01:30:00+02:00 32273345000 1
2014-10-26T02:00:00+01:00 28310393000 4
2014-10-26T02:00:00+02:00 31705207000 2
2014-10-26T02:30:00+01:00 27116547000 5
2014-10-26T02:30:00+02:00 29900587000 3
2014-10-26T03:00:00+01:00 26535312000 6
2014-10-26T03:30:00+01:00 26165805000 7
2014-10-26T04:00:00+01:00 26022551000 8
Which is not the chronological order as you see.. I would like to have 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8
Thank you
You can add helper column and sort using it:
Formula in D1 (dragged down) is:
=SUBSTITUTE(LEFT(A1,19),"T"," ")-RIGHT(A1,5)*(MID(A1,20,1)&"1")
First part (SUBSTITUTE(LEFT(A1,19),"T"," ")) calculates date and time part, second (-RIGHT(A1,5)) timezone offset, and the third (MID(A1,20,1)&"1") sign of timezone offset (you can remove it, if there is always + in horodate).
I am retired so I have a lot of free time on my hands so I like playing the greyhounds. Using Excel I attempted to help myself save time by sorting out two columns at a time (Post - B-SPD) etc, because you have to sort some low and some high. The columns not marked Post are formula columns =abs(a3) etc. but when I try to sort the Post columns will sort, but the column I try to sort with it does not sort and match the post number it is assigned to.
Can this be done or does the =ABS formula prevent it. Plus even using =ABS some of the number are negative but the -minus sign does not appear. I have tried everything using numbers, using currency, using general, but nothing works. One person sent me to control panel to the Clock, Language, and Region settings. go additional setting and set your negative setting there. But that would not let the -minus sign show up on negative numbers either.
Is any of the above even possible?
POST B-SPD POST A-SPD POST 8TH POST L-SPD POST A-FIN
1 31.43 1 31.84 1 0 1 3 1 5.83
2 31.43 2 31.67 2 35.14 2 0 2 4.67
3 31.79 3 31.9 3 59.11 3 6 3 5.67
4 31.32 4 31.73 4 65.5 4 3 4 3.83
5 31.47 5 31.68 5 29.71 5 4 5 3.33
6 31.76 6 32.18 6 100 6 9 6 5.01
7 31.48 7 31.99 7 41.13 7 1 7 5.67
8 31.69 8 31.99 8 75.79 8 6 8 4.83
LOW LOW HIGH HIGH LOW
The requirement is not clear but use of ABS should not cause sorting issues. =ABS (for absolute) function is to strip out minus signs (so seems to be working properly).
OP may be advised to delete all but one of the POST columns, select headers and data (not including 'LOW' or 'HIGH') and Insert > Tables - Table, check My table has headers, OK, then use the filter buttons to choose whether to Sort Smallest to Largest or Sort Largest to Smallest for whichever attribute is to be ordered (the other columns will 'follow suit'). The filter button will show which button is determining the ordering and whether ascending or descending (eg table below is sorted descending on '8TH'):
