Is there any range or between kind of function in Excel? - excel

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)

Sumif of multiple Index matches against one value

Need help regarding Excel dynamically search based sum of two columns matching from two different tables.
I have got this Table of Data Entered One Time
A B C
1 Qlty Warp Weft
2 Stpl.1 150 20
3 Cotn.1 80 60
4 Stpl.2 20 20
5 Cotn.2 20 20
6 Stpl.3 20 40
in Column A2:A6, Quality can not be duplicated, its a unique Name
The Data entry and report Table is here
A B C D E F
8 Yarn Name Sent Bags Remaining Qualty Used Warp Used Weft
9 20 800 600 Stpl.1 71 200
10 150 101 30 Stpl.2 70 30
11 40 300 290 Stpl.3 100 10
12 20 400
C9:C5000 is Returning Column, Values are calculated on the base of Column A9:A5000 (Yarn Name)
Need to Find Yarn Name (eg:) "20" in B2:B6 AND/OR C2:C6, wherever it matches, index that Quality from A2:A6
Then match the returned qualities(could be more than one) to D9:D5000 and sum the mathced results from E9:F5000
I have tried so far in C12
=SUMIF($A$9:$A12,A12,$B$9:$B12)-(SUMIF($D$9:$D12,INDEX($A$2:$A$6,MATCH(A12,$B$2:$B$6,0)),$D$9:$D12)+SUMIF($D$9:$D12,INDEX($A$2:$A$6,MATCH(A12,$C$2:$C$6,0)),$D$9:$D12))
PS:- I am using Excel 2007
If I understand correctly, then following array formula can help you:
=SUM(IFERROR(INDEX($A$2:$A$6,N(IF(1,(MMULT(--($B$2:$C$6=A9),TRANSPOSE(COLUMN($B$2:$C$6)^0))>0)*(ROW($B$2:$C$6))-1)))=TRANSPOSE($D$9:$D$12),0)*TRANSPOSE($E$9:$E$12+$F$9:$F$12))
Array formula after editing is confirmed by pressing ctrl + shift + enter
Edit:
To calculate Warp and Weft columns separately use following array formula:
=SUM(IFERROR(INDEX($A$2:$A$6,N(IF(1,((A9=$B$2:$B$6)*ROW($B$2:$B$6))-1)))=TRANSPOSE($D$9:$D$12),0)*TRANSPOSE($E$9:$E$12))+SUM(IFERROR(INDEX($A$2:$A$6,N(IF(1,((A9=$C$2:$C$6)*ROW($C$2:$C$6))-1)))=TRANSPOSE($D$9:$D$12),0)*TRANSPOSE($F$9:$F$12))

count and sum function not properly working

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.
A B C D E F G H
February Max March Max
1 28
2
3
4
5
7
11
15
17
19
22
23
25
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.
A B
February Max

4
5
7
11
15
17
19
22
23
25
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,"")

Time Lookback Calculation

I have two columns:
Column A: Time (seconds from midnight)
Column B: Value (arbitrary value I've created)
How would I find the average value (column B) at any instance in time(row) looking back over the previous x seconds (column A)?
Lets assume A1 = Seconds after midnight
Seconds after midnight Value
0 27
2 29
6 2
16 29
20 19
24 4
34 2
40 1
44 4
54 12
64 12
71 3
81 30
91 21
92 1
93 27
97 12
104 30
112 25
Note that time deltas are variable so I can't just look at the last x rows.
A specific question would be:
In a new column (column C) return the average Value of the last 10 seconds of data.
I have no idea how to do this. Can anyone help? It'd be greatly appreciated.
EDIT:
The output in the first 4 rows of column C would be:
Seconds after midnight Value Result
0 27 No values prior to this one
2 29 27 Average(B2)
6 2 28 Average(B2:B3)
16 29 2 Average(B4)
For each row, I'm taking the current time (16 in the last case)...going back x seconds (10 seconds in this case) and then averaging the values from all the cells in that time range (not including the current value).
My main issue is the time calculation. I don't know how to calculate it as I roll forward in time and I continue to get more instances as we move forward. If we go 10 seconds without any new data point then there would be no output since. If we got one instance in the previous 10 seconds then the output would be that value. If we got 100 instances in the previous 10 seconds, I need to return the average of that 100 instances.
Again, I'd appreciate any help, hints, links. This is driving me crazy.
Try the following formula in cell C3:
=IFERROR(SUMIFS(B:B,A:A,"<"&A3,A:A,">="&A3-10)/COUNTIFS(A:A,"<"&A3,A:A,">="&A3-10),0)
SUMIFS will get the sum of all values for which the seconds are:
less than A3 (i.e. less than 2 in this case)
more or equal to A3-10 (i.e. above -8 in this case)
And this sum is divided by the number of lines found with the same criteria.
If now there is an error (more specifically when the COUNTIFS returns 0, you would get #DIV/0!) you simply get 0 instead of the error.

Extracting the upper quartile data from an array and placing it in new column

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.

select min value in B column for same values in A columns excel?

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.
