I have the below Excel-table:
| A | B
---------|-----------|---------------
1 | 500 |
2 | 500 |
3 | 500 |
---------|-----------|----------------
4 | 600 |
5 | 600 |
---------------------|----------------
6 | 300 |
---------------------|----------------
7 | 800 |
8 | 800 |
9 | 800 |
---------------------|----------------
10 | 200 |
11 | 200 |
---------------------|----------------
12 | 900 |
---------------------|----------------
13 | 100 |
14 | 100 |
In Column A there a different numbers which can appear multiple times within the rows.
Now I am looking for a conditional formatting that identifies if a number has switched compared to the previous row and if so all the other rows with the same number are coloured in yellow until it switches again.
The result should look like this:
Do you have any idea what kind of conditional formatting I need to achive this?
Select column A
Insert new conditional formatting rule based on formula and use:
If one has Excel O365:
=ISEVEN(COUNT(UNIQUE(A$1:A1)))
Older versions of Excel could use:
=ISEVEN(SUMPRODUCT(1/COUNTIF(A$1:A1,A$1:A1)))
I want to obtain a summary of the units of each class per group, but I don't know how to do it. I tried different options but this is breaking my mind and I prefer not to use a macro, just a formula.
This is an example of what I want:
Class | Group | Units | Summary
------|-------|-------|---------
A | G1 | 1 |
A | G1 | 2 |
A | G1 | 3 |
B | G1 | 4 | A:"1,2,3";B:"4"
B | G2 | 5 |
C | G2 | 6 |
C | G2 | 7 | B:"5";C:"6,7"
C | G3 | 8 |
A | G3 | 9 | C:"8";A:"9"
A | G4 | 0 | A:"0"
If you know how to help I would appreciate that.
Just as #bzimor said - use pivot table. The source is your original table (class, group and units). Then when the pivot table placeholder appears, you put Group, Class and Units in the Column fields. The result looks like this:
Of course, you can format the pivot table to look like you want it.
I have an Excel table as follows:
Color | Inventory
Blue | 180
Red | 50
Green | 10
I want to look up the inventory of the color that I would require depending which product I'm going to use and then subtract if it was used on a past line, my table would look like this:
Item | Color | Usage | Inventory Left
ABC | Blue | 50 | 130
BCD | Blue | 30 | 100
CDE | Blue | 50 | 50
EFG | Red | 25 | 25
FGH | Red | 10 | 15
GHI | Green | 5 | 5
How could I do it with an Excel formula?
I was thinking in some type of SUMIF with OFFSET but I can't figure it out.
With a layout as shown, please try:
=VLOOKUP(B9,$A$1:$B$6,2,0)-SUMIF(B$1:B9,B9,C$1:C9)
The principle would be the same but a different layout might be more convenient.
In one spreadsheet document, file.xlsx, I have 2 sheets. Sheet1 has the editable fields. Sheet 2's sole purpose is to read the data from Sheet1.
The point is to keep track of inventory and easily display items needed to be ordered.
Sheet1 'column a' is item number for ordering
Sheet1 'column b' is the number I have on hand
Sheet1 'column c' is the formula cell to find the number needed to be ordered
It looks something like this:
Document1:sheet1
A | B | C |
1 |txt1 | 1 | =10-b1 |
2 |txt2 | 0 | =10-b2 |
3 |txt3 | 13 | =10-b3 |
4 |txt4 | 5 | =10-b3 |
5 |txt5 | 2 | =10-b4 |
There is some if statement conditional formatting in the "C" column to check if the "B" column has a value HIGHER than 10 and if it hits true then the corresponding C cell is blank but for space, i'm summarizing here
Document1:sheet2
A | B |
1 |=if(sheet1!C1>0,Sheet1!A1,"") |=if(sheet1!C1>0,Sheet1!C1,"") |
2 |=if(sheet1!C2>0,Sheet1!A2,"") |=if(sheet1!C1>0,Sheet1!C2,"") |
3 |=if(sheet1!C3>0,Sheet1!A3,"") |=if(sheet1!C1>0,Sheet1!C3,"") |
4 |=if(sheet1!C4>0,Sheet1!A4,"") |=if(sheet1!C1>0,Sheet1!C4,"") |
5 |=if(sheet1!C5>0,Sheet1!A5,"") |=if(sheet1!C1>0,Sheet1!C5,"") |
If an item isn't to be ordered because stock is high, it doesn't show up in the list. This is ok. It looks like this:
Document1:sheet2
A | B |
1 | txt1 | 9 |
2 | txt2 | 10 |
3 | | |
4 | txt4 | 9 |
5 | | |
What I would like to see is:
Document1:sheet2
A | B |
1 | txt1 | 9 |
2 | txt2 | 10 |
3 | txt4 | 9 |
4 | | |
5 | | |
For 5 Items in the example, it doesn't seem that annoying, but in actuality I have 1200 potential rows and it varies between 200 to 800 actually populated each time i conduct inventory. The whole point is to have one continuous section of rows that I can select and print. Maybe some way of autosorting and placing the empty ones on the bottom?
I've taught myself excel. I don't know the advanced tricks and things.
I'm a typically a programmer but I've been tasked with this project and the guys upstairs want me to do it in excel.
i've overcomplicated this, to the max.
a simple sort putting the empty's at the bottom is the resolution.
not quite as automated as i'd like
but
it works.
First off, I'd like to do this without VB if possible, so I don't have to go through the hassle of teaching recipients how to enable macros.
Now, I believe what I'd like to do is simple, but the answer may be complex formula-wise. I'm trying to list out in new columns the values from a specified column in rows which have matching values from two other columns. Sounds tricky I'm sure, but an example should help immensely...
Say I have the following data:
------------------
| sts | pos | bye |
------------------
| 0 | QB | 8 |
| 2 | WR | 3 |
| 2 | QB | 10 |
| 0 | QB | 4 |
| 2 | QB | 7 |
| 0 | WR | 11 |
| 2 | WR | 9 |
| 2 | QB | 5 |
------------------
That's my source. I want to list out the bye value from all rows that have sts = 2, for each respective pos. In other words, from the source data above I'd want to see the following result set:
--------------------------
| pos | byes |
--------------------------
| QB | 10 | 7 | 5 | |
| WR | 3 | 9 | | |
--------------------------
...because those are the bye values in the rows with sts = 2 and pos equal to the corresponding pos in the result table.
Again, I'd like to avoid macros if possible, and just use a formula in the bye cells of the results table.
Hopefully that makes enough sense for you to take a stab at it. Thanks!
FOLLOW-UP:
#Richard-Morgan I attempted to use your formula but can't get it to work. Here is a screenshot of my actual spreadsheet so we can use real cell references:
So sts is B2:B303, pos is D2:D303, and bye is E2:E303. So then I'd like to list out the byes in columns U thru Y. It looks like your answer, if I'm smart enough to implement it, will get me what I need, so any assistance you can provide to get me to the finish line is greatly appreciated!
Something along the lines of the following could be used:
{=INDEX(tbl, SMALL(IF(COUNTIF(G$3, $A$2:$A$9)
*COUNTIF(G$4, $B$2:$B$9), ROW(tbl)-MIN(ROW(tbl))+1), ROW($C1)), COLUMN($C1))}
where the A column is sts, B column is pos, and C column is bye. The variable tbl is the range of data (not the headers). G$3 would be the sts filter and G$4 is the pos filter.
Copy the array formula DOWN to find all the matching byes; #NUM! will appear after finding no more matches. If this bothers your users, you can add an ISERROR or a tricky conditional format that makes the text white on white.
You can then copy over the formula to the next column and enter new filter values.
G H
sts Search 2 2
pos Search QB WR
10 3
7 9
5 #NUM!
#NUM!#NUM!
If your users are comfortable with pivot tables, using them would be much easier, I would think.
EDIT
Making the formula "transpose" is a bit tricky and I am not having any breakthrough on how to fix that. However, if you want to manually edit the column formulas, here is what you want.
(I made the assumption that S is the sts filter. Maybe you're just doing a count there, but I didn't see where you enter the filter for sts. If S isn't the sts filter, update the formulas to point to where sts is 2 or whatever.)
U2:
{=INDEX(tbl, SMALL(IF(COUNTIF($S2, $B$2:$B$303)*COUNTIF($R2, $D$2:$D$303),
ROW(tbl)-MIN(ROW(tbl))+1), ROW($D$1)), COLUMN($D$1))}
V2:
{=INDEX(tbl, SMALL(IF(COUNTIF($S2, $B$2:$B$303)*COUNTIF($R2, $D$2:$D$303),
ROW(tbl)-MIN(ROW(tbl))+1), ROW($D$2)), COLUMN($D$2))}
etc.
This allows the cells to be copied down.
I am sure there is a way to INDIRECT the ROW/COLUMN, but I ran out of time to look at this at the moment.
EDIT 2
If you put a simple number increment somewhere, let's say U1 has 1, V1 has 2, W1 has 3, etc., you could use the following:
{=INDEX(tbl, SMALL(IF(COUNTIF($S2, $B$2:$B$9)*COUNTIF($R2, $D$2:$D$9),
ROW(tbl)-MIN(ROW(tbl))+1), U$1), COLUMN($D$1))}
This will copy down and across.
This sounds like a job for pivot tables and go to special. You need to add an ID # column though. Here is one way you could do it:
Then once the blanks are selected using go to special you just need to delete them and shift cells left.
Good Luck.
OK I figured out a way to get my desired results. It isn't the cleanest or best way, but it achieves my goal of listing the results horizontally, and avoids macros or pivot tables.
I use a hidden worksheet to list out all the pos and sts values, concatenated as a single value. So...
sts | pos | bye
----------------------
2 | QB | 8
2 | RB | 5
2 | QB | 11
0 | WR | 7
. . .
...becomes....
D | E
-----------
5 | 2QB | 8
6 | 2RB | 5
7 | 2QB | 11
8 | 0WR | 7
. . .
Then, I have a "shadow" results area that mimics the results area on my front-page worksheet. It looks like so:
G | H | I | J | K
-----------------------------
5 | QB | | | | |
6 | RB | | | | |
7 | WR | | | | | . . .
In H5:H7, I have the following formula:
=IFERROR((ADDRESS(MATCH("2"&$G5,$D$5:$D$305,0)+4,COLUMN($E5),4)),"")
This returns the first cell reference it finds in the concatenated column that starts with 2 and ends with the value in column G (e.g. the formulas in row 5 are looking for "2QB").
Then, in I5:n7 I have the following modified formula:
=IFERROR(ADDRESS(MATCH("2"&$G5,INDIRECT(ADDRESS(ROW(INDIRECT(H5))+1,4)&":$d$"&MAX(305,ROW(INDIRECT(H5))+1)),0)+ROW(INDIRECT(H5)),COLUMN($E5),4),"")
The reason I modify the subsequent columns is to change the range in which the formula is looking for its value to start at the next row after the previously found value. For example, with the data above, the formula in H5 would look for "2QB" in D5:D*n*, and return the first row it finds and attach it to column E, which would be E5.
The formula in I5 would then look for "2QB" starting in D*6* instead of D5, a row after the row referenced in H5's result.
Hopefully that made sense.
So what I end up with in my hidden worksheet is this:
G | H | I | J | K
-----------------------------
5 | QB | E5 | E7 | | |
6 | RB | E6 | | | |
7 | WR | | | | | . . .
Then, on my front page worksheet, I simply get the values (the bye) referenced by the cells in H5:*n*7 using:
=IFERROR(INDIRECT(lookups!H5),"")
...which gives me my final result:
G | H | I | J | K
-----------------------------
5 | QB | 8 | 11 | | |
6 | RB | 5 | | | |
7 | WR | | | | | . . .
Like I said, it's totally convoluted, but it works, and I can always refine it later if I figure out how. :) Thanks to you who took a swing at this seemingly complex problem for me! I'm sure your answers work beautifully as well.
