I am trying to use the match formula in XLS with multiple conditions, embedded within an index formula, to extract values from a sub-group as illustrated below. And without using the array function where you must enter in order to execute. I've used conditional matches before as described in https://exceljet.net/formula/index-and-match-with-multiple-criteria but in this example I'm at a loss as to how to do this:
Any suggestions?
Here is a solution that seems to work, after I fiddled around some more with index/match:
Use the formula IF(E20>0,E20,INDEX($E$20:$E$25,MATCH(1,INDEX((ROW()<>ROW($D$20:$D$25))*(D20=$D$20:$D$25)*($C$20:$C$25>0),0,1),0))) in the first row for this conditional index/match, then copy down to the entire length of the target array. Please see OP edit labeled with Here is a solution for a working example.

I have a sheet that shows max values spent anywhere. So I need to find most expensive place and return it's name. Like this:
Whole sheet.
Function.
Function in text:
=IFS((A6=MAX(D2:D31)),(INDEX(C2:C31,MATCH(A6,D2:D31,0))),(A6=MAX(H2:H31)),(INDEX(G2:G31,MATCH(A6,H2:H31,0))),(A6=MAX(K2:K31)),(INDEX(K2:K31,MATCH(A6,L2:L31,0))))
Basically I need to find a word left to value, matching A6 cell.
Thanks in advance.
Ok.. Overcomplicated!
Firstly, why the three rows? it's a lot easier if you just have one long row with all the data (tell me if you actually need 3 I'll change my solution)
=LOOKUP(MAX(D2:D31);D2:D31;C2:C31)
The MAX formula will lookup the biggest value in the list, the Lookup formula will then match it to the name.
Please note: If more than one object has the maximum price, it will only return the first one. The only way I can think of to bypass that would be to build a macro.
EDIT:
Alright.. Multi Column solution is ugly and requires extra columns that you can just hide.
As you can see you'll need 2 new columns that will find the highest for each row, 2 new columns that will find the value for each of these "highest" (in this case tree and blueberries) and then your visible answer will simply be an if statement finding out which one is bigger and giving the final verdict. This can be expanded with an infinite number of columns but increases complexity.
Here are the formulas:
MAX(H2:H31)
LOOKUP(A5;H2:H31;G2:G31)
MAX(L2:L31)
LOOKUP(C5;L2:L6;K2:K6)
IF(A5>C5;B5;D5)
I have a very large array of data with many columns that display different outputs for the values presented. I would like to add a row above the data that will display the most common occurring value or word below.
Generally I would like to have each top of the column (right under the column label in row 1) have the most common value below. I will then use this value for various data analysis functions!
Is this possible, and if so, how? Preferably this will not require VBA, but simply a short code in the cell.
One caveat: The exact values may vary, so there is no set list where I can say "it will be one of these."
Any ideas appreciated!
Try a series of =COUNTIF(A:A,"VALUE TO SEARCH") functions if you want to stay away from VBA.
Otherwise, the best method would be to iterate through each column via VBA. With this method, you can even count the "varying" values and return the count and/or the value itself.
http://www.excel-easy.com/examples/most-frequently-occurring-word.html
This is a single formula you would write at the top of each column. Does not require VBA. You can replace the set range to an entire column, such as (A:A) instead of (A1:A7).
If you mean an array as in a data type, it could work differently but it depends what you're trying to do.
With data from A3 through A16, in A2 enter:
=INDEX($A$3:$A$16,MODE(MATCH($A$3:$A$16,$A$3:$A$16,0)))
This will work for text as well as numbers. Adjust this to match the column size.
This is a continuation of " Is it possible to write a VBA code that searches for the exact same data or the closest one in the past? "
Basically I would like to expand the function that #Jeeped posted but for some reason it's not going as planned eventhough I'm doing the same stuff he showed.
The extra condition in this case is that the machine used to produce the juice must be equivalent to the machine of the parameters.
(the image of what I'm doing)
Basically if a juice is made on 29/09 with machine M0 for example then I want to have the parameters that were used for that juice. Obviously the parameters of 30/09 weren't used but the parameters of 25/09 for machine M0 were used.
I edited the code #Jeeped posted in my previous question to the following
=IFERROR(INDEX(C$2:C$10, MIN(INDEX(ROW($1:$10)+($A$2:$A$10>$F2)*1E+99+($B$2=$G$2),,))),"")
But I get an error and I'm not sure why but I have a feeling it has to do with what I wrote ($B$2=$G$2) but how do I fix it?
DISCLAIMER: the percentages used are fictive, it's just a function I need to get working for several Workbooks that will automate some work I need to do every month.
It looks like you want to add the condition that columns B should match G2. This should do the trick.
=IFERROR(INDEX(C$2:C$10, MIN(INDEX(ROW($1:$9)+(($A$2:$A$10>$F2)+($B$2:$B$10<>$G2))*1E+99,,))),"")
This type of formula does not make direct matches. It excludes everything that doesn't match and then accepts whatever is left over. So like the date in F2 is compared to the dates in column A and anything that is larger (i.e. later) is multiplied by a very large number. We do the same to the machine ID in G2. Anything that does not match the machines in column B get multiplied by the same very large number. By mathematically excluding anything that doesn't fit, we are left with what does fit.
It is also important to note that the ROW(1:9) is the position within C2:C10 or A2:A10, not the actual row on the worksheet.
Addendum: With the dates now unsorted, I can provide both a standard and an array formula to compensate. The array formula for I2 is,
=SUMIFS(C$2:C$10,$A$2:$A$10,MAX(IF($A$2:$A$10<=$F2,IF($B$2:$B$10=$G2,$A$2:$A$10))),$B$2:$B$10,$G2)
This must be finalized with Ctrl+Shift+Enter rather than simply Enter. Once entered correctly, it can be filled both right and down. Next is a standard formula that does not require Ctrl+Shift+Enter but accomplishes the same thing. Your results should resemble the following image.
=SUMIFS(C$2:C$10, $A$2:$A$10,MAX(INDEX(($A$2:$A$10<=$F2)*($B$2:$B$10=$G2)*($A$2:$A$10),,)),$B$2:$B$10,$G2)
I think the formula below might answer your question. Please see the image for reference.
Formula Used: =INDEX($D$2:$E$7,MATCH(1,($B$2:$B$7<$H3)*($C$2:$C$7=$I3),0),1)
Please note - this requires your date of parameter change to be sorted from newest to oldest.
To apply this formula, press CTRL+SHIFT+ENTER after writing the formula. This is required for excel to understand that this should function as an Array formula. On doing so, excel will automatically add the curley brackets at the beginning and end of the formula as can be seen in the image.
Only small difference for formula to get %Oranges will be replacing the last 1 by 2.
INDEX($D$2:$E$7,MATCH(1,($B$2:$B$7<$H3)*($C$2:$C$7=$I3),0),2)
Hope this answers your question. Please let me know if you need further assistance.
There could be quite a simple solution to this, but I am trying to find the number of times a unique variant (i.e. non-duplicates) of a string appears in a column. However this string is only part of the text contained in a cell, and not the entire cell. To illustrate:
EuropeSpainMadrid
EuropeSpainBarcelona
AsiaChinaShanghai
AsiaJapanTokyo
EuropeEnglandLondon
EuropeSpainMadrid
I would like to find how many unique instances there are of a string that contains "EuropeSpain". So using this example, I would find that a variant of "EuropeSpain" appears only twice (given that the second instance of "EuropeSpainMadrid" is a duplicate).
A solution to this is to use pivots to summarise the data and remove duplicated; however given that my underlying dataset changes often this would require manual adjustments and corrections. I would therefore like to avoid adding any intermediate steps (i.e. PivotTables, other data sets etc) between my data and the counts.
UPDATE: I now understand to use wildcards to solve the first part of my question (counting the occurrences of "EuropeSpain"), however I am not yet clear on the second part of my question (how to find the number of unique occurrences).
Is there a formula or VBA code that could do this?
Using wildcards:
=COUNTIF(A1:A6,"="&"*"&C1&"*")
For without VBA but with some versatility, I suggest with Text in ColumnA (labelled), ColumnB labelled Flag and EuropeSpain in C1:
=FIND(C$1,A2)
in B2 copied down.
Then pivot A:B with Flag for FILTERS (and 1 selected), Text for ROWS and Count of Text for Sigma VALUES.
Apply Distinct Values if required (and available!), alternatively a formula of the kind:
=MATCH("Grand Total",E:E)-4
would count uniques.
I was hoping to get a bit of help regarding formulas in Excel/VBA, I'm looking to do the following but I'm not sure how best to do it:
Okay, so I have a materials export from a piece of software and it comes out with the following sort of data:
In essence I would like to have a catalogue stored on a separate sheet which the function references for text strings that may be contained in a takeoff.
i.e. in E2 the function will check the column B for cells containing the text strings in A16:A18 (the consoles) and return any results along with the corresponding quantity to columns E and F. Similarly this will occur for the controller and cables.
I'm sure there's a solution somewhere but I've been unable to find one for lack of knowing what to search exactly.
Thanks for any help guys, it's appreciated.
What you may want to use is the COUNTIF function. Try this:
COUNTIF(A$2:A$13,"*" & A16 & "*")
If I am not mistaken you can check for the values in A16:A23 in the database dump column B1:B13, then you want the summer quantity for the matching values, where a match means the text you look for must be contained in the database dump column.
To get the quantity accordingly use the following formula in cell B16:
=SUMIFS(C$2:C$13;B$2:B$13;"*"&A16&"*")
then drag it into the other cells. The asterisks are text wildcards, so there may be text in front or behind the text part we look for.
