I've searched through the site but can't seem to see anything that fits my problem.
I have 7 columns
User ID
Session1
session2
session3
session4
session5
session6
Within the sessions 1-6, there will be a P or A to represent whether the user was "present" or "Absent".
Based on this master data, I have created a further 6 columns to the right of this will the same headings and input IF statements to say =IF(B2="P","",B$1) so that it will show the Session ID if the user was absent from that session.
I then need to have all the users absent sessions within one column and that needs to be sepearated by commas.
What I can't work out is how to get this without have duplicate commas where the cells are blank.
Any ideas?
Thanks

Pick up the StringConcat UDF given at the link C Pearson Concatenation page. Copy the code starting from Function StringConcat(Sep As String, ParamArray Args()) As Variant upto the end, and paste it in a general module in VBA. If you don't know how to do this, refer this link which explains it all.
This UDF will ignore blanks, and concatenate any given range with a separator/delimiter of your choice.
Your solution then simply becomes
=StringConcat(", ",H2:M2)
Let me know if something isn't clear.
Alternate Solution :
Alternatively, modify your formulae as follows.
In cell H2, instead of =IF(B2="P","",B$1) , enter the following formula
=IF(B2="A",B$1&", ","")
Copy this formula upto M2, and down as many rows as you want.
Now, in cell N2, put the following formula:
=IF(LEN(H2&I2&J2&K2&L2&M2)>2,LEFT(H2&I2&J2&K2&L2&M2,LEN(H2&I2&J2&K2&L2&M2)-2),"")
Hope this helps.

First, I know that DSUM and SUMIF works with the values in the entire cell. I would like to know if I can add values of cells where part of the string contains a particular text.
Let me explain. I use Google Sheets to manage my expenses, and gather data about my financials. I have something like this—
As you can see, above is a typical example of a day. Each cell has a category, and a description, and below it, the value in the next row. Now is it possible to add values of the cell containing the word "TAXIS"? This way I should be able to get a sum of expenses for a particular category.
I've tried a vast number of expense managers, but none that I am happy with. Finally have decided to go the manual route, and here I am. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks in advance!
You can use wild card to add part of string. Suppose you data starts from C2 cell and data goes like your screenshot then you can use following formula.
=SUMIF(C2:K2,"*TAXIS*",C3:K3)
Obviously you have to customize formula based on your sheet from where data starts and ends.
There are two sheets (sheet1 & sheet2) in my Excel file, it's like daily work routine (entry date, pickup date, dispatch date). Some details will change as per the work flow and even new entries will appear.
I just need to compare both files if a change occurred in one cell it must have to show entire row of sheet1 (I can't specify exact headline for that all details are too precious and it has more than 100 headlines).
So if there is any formula for that please let me know like
IF+VLOOKUP
please correct below given formula
=If(RECHERCHEV(A2,sheet1!A8:FM264,1,FAUX)=(RECHERCHEV(A2,sheet2!A8:FM257,1,FAUX);"";RECHERCHEV(A2,sheet1!A8:FM264,1,FAUX))
It's the French version.
Try this array formula in cell A1 of sheet3 and drag across and down.
=IF(AND(EXACT(Sheet1!1:1,Sheet2!1:1)),"",Sheet1!A1)
Not really sure what you're looking to do here, and I don't speak french, but it looks like you have an extra parenthesis before your 2nd RECHERCHEV function.
Try this :
=If(RECHERCHEV(A2,sheet1!A8:FM264,1,FAUX)=RECHERCHEV(A2,sheet2!A8:FM257,1,FAUX);"";RECHERCHEV(A2,sheet1!A8:FM264,1,FAUX))
Though I'm not sure why the IF function uses semi-colons, but the RECHERCHEV uses commas, so maybe this:
=If(RECHERCHEV(A2,sheet1!A8:FM264,1,FAUX)=RECHERCHEV(A2,sheet2!A8:FM257,1,FAUX),"",RECHERCHEV(A2,sheet1!A8:FM264,1,FAUX))
Also it seems you want the entire row to update, so I am not sure how this vlookup would work since the arrays start in different rows than the lookup value.
I have an excel sheet sort of like this:
I'm trying to figure out how to get the totals in cells B1 through B4.
I tried INDEX-MATCH, where I tried to match the words in A1:A4 with the words in row 7, get the numbers relative to them, and then sum them, but it was a lot of Google searching and stabbing in the dark -- every attempt returned an error.
I also tried to INDEX-MATCH the words in A1:A4 with row 7, and then nest a VLOOKUP in there where it'd get the number relative to "visits:" but that didn't work at all either.
Is INDEX-MATCH even the correct function? Any help would be much appreciated, I'm not even sure what to Google anymore.
EDIT: I need to use a search function of some kind, like the INDEX-MATCH method, rather that static formulas because the sheet will change periodically and I don't want to have to update the formula every time I add an animal.
Your data table is unusual in structure.
However, if you are gong to keep a fixed rule such that the number of visits is always offset 2 rows and 1 column from the animal type(and that itself is always in row 7), you could do:
In B1:
=SUM(IF($A$7:$AAA$7=$A1, $B$9:$AAB$9, 0))
Confirm with Ctrl-Shift-Enter, and then copy down..
DOes this work?
=SUM(IF($B$7=A1,$C$9,0),IF($D$7=A1,$E$9,0),IF($F$7=A1,$G$9,0),IF($H$7=A1,$I$9,0))
I'm not sureto have fully grasped your challenge. Yet it seems the following solution would work:
Add the following formula in each box where the number of visits is added as
=+SUMIF($A$1:$A$end;animal;$B$1:$B$end)
Where end is a number of the last cell in the first and second columns data contain the data.
And animal is the cell that contains the name of the animal.
Therefore in your simple example, the formulas on cells C9;E9;G9 and I9 would be respectively:
=+SUMIF($A$1:$A$4;B7;$B$1:$B$4) ; =+SUMIF($A$1:$A$4;D7;$B$1:$B$4); =+SUMIF($A$1:$A$4;F7;$B$1:$B$4) and =+SUMIF($A$1:$A$4;H7;$B$1:$B$4).
I am looking to get some help with a function that I am sure is an option but I sadly have no clue on how to implement.
Basically, I'd like a formula to go from C21:C50 and look for the top two values. Based upon which two are the top, it would reference the name in B column and populate that value in the another cell (the cell the formula resides in)
If you look at the image, in the primary field, we'd have Steve. Secondary would be Alan.
Is this something anyone can help with? I simply am lost :(
Try
=INDEX($B$3:$B$7,MATCH(LARGE($C$3:$C$7,ROW(A1)),$C$3:$C$7,0))
with Bob in cell B3 and the "primary" formula in cell C9. Copy down to cell C10.
If dealing with integers, you can simply add +1/ROW([range]) to avoid doubles:
=INDEX($B$3:$B$7,MATCH(LARGE($C$3:$C$7+1/ROW($C$3:$C$7),ROW(A1)),$C$3:$C$7+1/ROW($C$3:$C$7),0))
This is an array-formula and must be confirmed with ctrl+shift+enter!
However, this may fail for numbers like 5.01 or 4.99. For that case just use it in combination with RANK.EQ:
=INDEX($B$3:$B$7,MATCH(LARGE(RANK.EQ($C$3:$C$7,$C$3:$C$7,1)+1/ROW($C$3:$C$7),ROW(A1)),RANK.EQ($C$3:$C$7,$C$3:$C$7,1)+1/ROW($C$3:$C$7),0))
This is an array-formula and must be confirmed with ctrl+shift+enter!
The steps as picture:
The first table shows the direct adding of 1/ROW which is used for LARGE and MATCH to get the row if doubles exist (so INDEX can pick the correct one)
The second table shows how the values get replaced by their rank with RANK.EQ and then are treated the same like the first table.
The third (grey) table shows, what would happen if the first formula is applied to the second table (to demonstrate how the ranks get messed up).
For Excel 2007 just replace the RANK.EQ($C$3:$C$7,$C$3:$C$7,1) with RANK($C$3:$C$7,$C$3:$C$7,1).
If you still have any questions, just ask :)
I have a spreadsheet that I am using as a questionnaire.
One of the questions is Who are your wheel suppliers (mark all that apply)? and there are 6 check boxes in column C to select 5 different wheel suppliers and an Other option. I have these check boxes linked to return whatever suppliers name is selected in the cell adjacent to the cell the check box is in in column I.
So depending on what wheel suppliers the customer selects there could be anywhere from 1-6 different suppliers selected. So once the customer has selected the wheel suppliers whatever suppliers are selected will show up in the correct cell in range I45:50.
What I am having a problem with is that I need these to pull into a data tab into one cell. I am having a problem coming up with a formula to put all the suppliers together as a list in one cell with commas separating each. Remember, it could be 1 supplier, could be 3, could be 6.
Any advice is much appreciated. I have tried using If formulas and Concatenate but I can't seem to figure out how to get it to work like I want it to.
=CONCATENATE(Questionnaire!I45," ",Questionnaire!I46," ",Questionnaire!I47," ",Questionnaire!I48," ",Questionnaire!I49," ",Questionnaire!I50)
That is the best I've come up with but the problem with it is if the first supplier isn't selected then it will enter that space anyways and if the first supplier and the last supplier are selected it will have all those spaces in between.
Another method, this one using helper cells.
Say you have the data in A1:A6. In B1, input this formula: =IF(LEN(A1)>0,A1&",",""). Drag down to B5.
In B6, slight variation: =IF(LEN(A6)>0,A6,",""").
In C1: =CONCATENATE(B1,B2,B3,B4,B5,B6).
What happens is the cells in the B column checks if their respective values in the A column are not blanks. If not, they will append , to it. Otherwise, they will return blanks (not spaces). The only variation is B6--since it's the end of the list, there's no , appended to it.
It's only a matter of concatenating them at this point. Removing any of the values in A, maybe by unchecking their checkbox, will reflect the change in C1 properly.
Let us know if this helps.
EDIT:
To accommodate your formula, change your CONCATENATE formula to something like below:
=LEFT(CONCATENATE(...),LEN(CONCATENATE(...)-1)
What is does is it removes the rightmost character by getting, from the left, all the characters up until one less than the length of the result. Obviously, fill in the ... with the ranges you want to concatenate.
Let us know if this is what you need.
FURTHER EDIT:
=LEFT(CONCATENATE(Questionnaire!F45,Questionnaire!F46,Questionnaire!F47,Questionnaire!F48,Questionnaire!F49,Questionnaire!F50),LEN(CONCATENATE(Questionnaire!F45,Questionnaire!F46,Questionnaire!F47,Questionnaire!F48,Questionnaire!F49,Questionnaire!F50))-1)
Looks ugly, right? But does the job. Better if you use a named range, though, like below:
Now it's much shorter. Error on my end is because I don't have Questionnaire sheet, obviously.
If J44 is blank and you are prepared to add something like =IF(ISBLANK(I45),J44,J44&I45&", ") in J45 (copied down) then perhaps:
=SUBSTITUTE(LEFT(wheelC,LEN(wheelC)-2),0,"")
might suit, where wheelC is a named range of workbook scope for Questionnaire!J50.
