Have to create a column next to existing column. my present table is like this
and result needed is like this. Each date value is getting repeated 3 times and getting incremented by 1
Pick any cell and enter:
=DATE(2018,8,21+ROUNDUP(ROWS($1:1)/3,0))
and copy downward.
Here our start cell is one cell to the left of the 21.
Manually type in the first 3 into A1:A3 (or rows 1 to 3) in A4 (or row 4) reference A1 (row 1) and add 1 to it. Then drag the formula down.
The formula should look like =A1+1

I am trying to lookup values from Table 1 to Table 2 based on Col1 in Table 1.
The catch is that Table 1 has duplicate values (for example, A is repeated 3 times) but I don't want to duplicate the returned value from Table 2.
How can this be done through either excel or sql (e.g. LEFT JOIN)?
What SQL are you using? Are you familiar with CTE and partition?
Have a look here: https://social.msdn.microsoft.com/Forums/sqlserver/en-US/597b876e-eb00-4013-a613-97c377408668/rownumber-and-cte?forum=transactsql
and here: (answer and 2nd comment): Select the first instance of a record
You can use those ideas to create another field that tells you whether the row is the first, 2nd , 3rd etc occurrence of Col1. Eg you'd have something like
1 B Red 150
2 B Red 150
and you can then update col3 to be zero where this new field is not 1.
EDIT: since you asked about Excel: in Excel, sort by whatever criteria you may need (col 1 first, of course). Let's say that Col1 starts (excluding the heading) in cell C2. Set cell B2 =1. Then write this formula in cell B3:
=IF(C3=C2,B2+1,1)
and drag it all the way down. This will count the occurrences of col 1, ie it will tell you which is the first, 2nd etc time a given value appears in col1. You can then use it as as the basis to change the value in other columns.
Also, it is not good practice to have a column where the first cell has a different formula from the others. You can use the same formula nesting another IF and referencing the row, so as to set one formula for the first row and one for the others.
I have values 1,2,3 and 2,3,4 in columes A and B respectively. I want column C to be 1+2, 2+3, 3+4. I have named the first 3 cells of column A as RANGE_A and the first 3 cells of column B as RANGE_B
I have tried sum(RANGE_A, RANGE_B), but that gives me the actual total of 15 in every cell of the output range.
I don't want to do this in VBA, and it would be cleaner if I can use the ranges like I have tried, but if all else fails i'll be just using A1+B1,A2+B2 etc..
***** EDIT ********************************
Where you want to sum two named ranges ={sum(RANGE_A, RANGE_B)} produces a scalar value, reflected in every cell of the output array, equal to the sum of both columns.
My solution is in fact, incredibly simple (thanks to QHarr, who got this right even when my original question was wrongly written!)
={RANGE_A + RANGE_B} produces an output array where each value is the sum of each pair of cells in each range. That's all i was looking for!

You want to select C1:C3 and enter the following in the formula bar:
=RANGE_A*RANGE_B
then press Ctrl + Shift + Enter to enter as an array formula.
For addition you can use:
=RANGE_A+RANGE_B
Example:
I have a cell "A1" that sums up some values in a row "IF"-something: =SUM.IF($C$5:$C$10;"Blue";$D$5:$D$10)
meaning: If columns C5 to C10 contains the word "Blue" in any row for example. "C7" and "C9", then the sum of "D7" and "D9" will be shown in "A1".
My problem:
If I insert a new row "5", then I want the formula to contain this row as well:
=SUM.IF($C$5:$C$11;"Blue";$D$5:$D$11)
But what happens is that the formula is now:
=SUM.IF($C$6:$C$11;"Blue";$D$6:$D$11)
So the formula contains only the original 5 rows "5-10" and now named "6-11".
How do I make excel expand the formula to include the new row aswell so it sums up from "5-11" =SUM.IF($C$5:$C$11;"Blue";$D$5:$D$11)?
(I know I can make this work with a table, but this is a thought example and not my real situation. Actually I insert 5 rows at a time, and some cells are merged, so I can't convert the range of data into a table)
Any help is greatly appreciated.
This can't be done. Set the row range reference in the formula to one row above you actual list, then everything should work.
For example, leave row 5 empty. Hide the row if you like. In cell A1, use the formula =SUMIF($C$5:$C$10,"Blue",$D$5:$D$10) (starting at row 5). Start entering values in row 6.
Now you can right-click Row 6 and Insert a new row, and the formula will continue to work as required.
I have an excel sheet which contain dates in one column (Say column A) and some values corresponding to each date in another column (Say column E). I want to fetch the value from the cell at the intersection of today's date (in column A) and it's corresponding value (in column E).
The value fetched should be assigned to a different cell (say R1). The value should automatically update in R1 since we need to fetch based on today's date.
Please provide me a formula for cell R1.
Example:
-----A----------B---------C--------D--------E
5/8/2015-------------------------------------3
6/8/2015-------------------------------------3
7/8/2015-------------------------------------6
8/8/2015-------------------------------------10
9/8/2015-------------------------------------3
10/8/2015------------------------------------12
11/8/2015------------------------------------3
If today is 10/08/2015, then cell R1 should be filled with the value 12.
Tomorrow R1 should be filled with the value 3 automatically.
Thank you.
You should try this formula in your cell R1:
=VLOOKUP(NOW(), A1:E11, 5, TRUE)
One thing is that if needed, you should modify range A1:E11 as you like.
ADDED
If your R1 cell is in other sheet, use this formula:
=VLOOKUP(NOW(), sheetname!A5:E11, 5, TRUE)
Here, also has one point that you should modify sheetname to your data sheet name.
I'm assuming you want to solve this with a formula, so try this formula in cell R1
=INDEX(D:D;MATCH(TODAY();A:A;0))
I am trying to figure out if there are any differences between a list of data with another. In order for a row of data to "match" with another row, the row must have the same values in their corresponding column. The rows themselves do not have to be in any particular order. In particular, I am dealing with a parts list, where there are part numbers, descriptions, etc. I am trying to figure out if any rows of data are different from rows of data from another list.
I found Compare two sheets using arrays, which may have the answer to my problem, but I am having trouble figuring out how to adapt to my code due to inexperience in Visual Basic.
I was able to get it to work for a single column of data, comparing one column of data from one sheet to another, but cannot get it to compare entire rows of data.
Here is an example of I want this to work:
Sheet 1 Sheet 2
Column 1 Column 2 Column 1 Column 2
Row 1 22a 33 11 11
Row 2 22a 33a 22a 33
Row 3 55 22b 55 23b
The code in the link will tell you what is not in sheet 1 but in sheet 2 and vice versa. In this example, I would like the code to tell me Sheet 1 Row 2 and Sheet 1 Row 3 are not in Sheet 2, and Sheet 2 Row 1 and Sheet 2 Row 3 are not in Sheet 1 (Sheet 1 Row 1 and Sheet 2 Row 2 match).
If that is ok by you, you can do it without VBA using the following formula:
={IF(IFERROR(MATCH(A1&"|"&B1;Sheet7!$A$1:$A$3&"|"&Sheet7!$B$1:$B$3;0);-1)=-1;"Unique";"")}
Assuming that each of your tables start in A1 (so that the tables with three entries span A1:B3), and entering this formula into C1 (and copying it down), press CTRL+SHIFT+ENTER when entering the formula to create an array formula, this will show the word "Unique" in column C if the pair in that row on that sheet is not in any of the row-pairs on sheet 2.
You can then use conditional formatting to highlight unique rows, filter on the tables to include only unique rows, or some other way of doing what you need.
NOTE 1: I have entered my numbers in Sheet6 and Sheet7 instead of 1 and 2. The formula written above goes into Sheet6.
NOTE 2: My language use ; instead of , as function separator, so if yours use , you need to change that.
NOTE 3: You will need to expand the ranges Sheet7!$A$1:$A$3 and Sheet7!$B$1:$B$3 if your set grows (this will happen automatically if new rows are inserted in between the old ones). The best is still probably to create named ranges for each of the 4 columns, exchange the references with those, and manage the named ranges instead of the formulas.
NOTE 4: If your data set contains the character "|", you need to change that as well, to match some character that you for sure do not have there.
Alternatively you could in column C on each cheet enter (assuming first entry in C1)
=A1&"|"&B1"
and copy this down, then run the solution from your copied example using that C column instead of on A1 and B1.
