I need a little help here for excel and VBA, lets says my column like this
No Name Rank Point
1 Foo 1
2 Bar 1
3 Jhon 1
4 Doe 1
i need to fill a point using adds the same rank by using index of number and then divide by the number of duplicates value, point = (1+2+3+4)/4 i need an help for using a VBA script, any of help will be appreciate
You dont need VBA for thet. If your data is from A1 to C5 (with Point in Column D), lke in your example, put the following formula in D2 and pull it down:
=SUMIF($C$2:$C$5,C2,$A$2:$A$5)/COUNTIF($C$2:$C$5,C2)
If you need VBA, just add Application.Worksheetfunction to both formula parts.

I am fairly new here, so if this go against the rules please tell me.
I have an issue that seems pretty simple but I wanted to check to make sure. I have been trying to see if I could create a new row by combining every variable from one column with another, like so:
Column 1 Column 2 Combined
A 1 A1
B 2 A2
3 A3
B1
B2
B3
But instead of typing the combinations manually, I wanted the combined column make this combination without user input and to update automatically whenever column 1 or 2 has a row added or removed. I have been trying to figure out if there is some way to use the concatenate function in excel or the & sign but neither methods seems to work. I was thinking trying to code this in visual basics.
The main question: is this possible to do in excel? If so which function(s) could I use?
This assumes your data has one header row (row 1), Column 1 is column 'A' and Column 2 is Column 'B'. Place the formula below in an empty cell and copy down as far as your data permits.
=INDEX(A:A,INT((ROW(A2)+1)/(COUNTA(B:B)-1))+1)&INDEX(B:B,MOD(ROW(A2)-2,3)+1+1)
now if you want to add a little flag to let you know you have more row than you need for your data you could add the following:
=IF(ROW(A2)-1>(COUNTA(A:A)-1)*(COUNTA(B:B)-1),"Data Exceeded",INDEX(A:A,INT((ROW(A2)+1)/(COUNTA(B:B)-1))+1)&INDEX(B:B,MOD(ROW(A2)-2,3)+1+1))
According to: https://www.extendoffice.com/documents/excel/3097-excel-list-all-possible-combinations.html
You can use this formula:
=IF(ROW()-ROW(**$D$1**)+1>COUNTA(**$A$1:$A$4**)*COUNTA(**$B$1:$B$3**),"",INDEX(**$A$1:$A$4**,INT((ROW()-ROW(**$D$1**))/COUNTA(**$B$1:$B$3**)+1))&INDEX(**$B$1:$B$3**,MOD(ROW()-ROW($D$1),COUNTA(**$B$1:$B$3**))+1))
In the above formula, $A$1:$A$4, are the first column values, and
$B$1:$B$3 are the second list values which you want to list all their
possible combinations, the $D$1 is the cell that you put the formula,
you can change the cell references to your need.
In your case, you should use:
=IF(ROW()-ROW($C$2)+1>COUNTA($A$2:$A$3)*COUNTA($B$2:$B$4),"",INDEX($A$2:$A$3,INT((ROW()-ROW($C$2))/COUNTA($B$2:$B$4)+1))&INDEX($B$2:$B$4,MOD(ROW()-ROW($C$2),COUNTA($B$2:$B$4))+1))
I am trying to figure out if there are any differences between a list of data with another. In order for a row of data to "match" with another row, the row must have the same values in their corresponding column. The rows themselves do not have to be in any particular order. In particular, I am dealing with a parts list, where there are part numbers, descriptions, etc. I am trying to figure out if any rows of data are different from rows of data from another list.
I found Compare two sheets using arrays, which may have the answer to my problem, but I am having trouble figuring out how to adapt to my code due to inexperience in Visual Basic.
I was able to get it to work for a single column of data, comparing one column of data from one sheet to another, but cannot get it to compare entire rows of data.
Here is an example of I want this to work:
Sheet 1 Sheet 2
Column 1 Column 2 Column 1 Column 2
Row 1 22a 33 11 11
Row 2 22a 33a 22a 33
Row 3 55 22b 55 23b
The code in the link will tell you what is not in sheet 1 but in sheet 2 and vice versa. In this example, I would like the code to tell me Sheet 1 Row 2 and Sheet 1 Row 3 are not in Sheet 2, and Sheet 2 Row 1 and Sheet 2 Row 3 are not in Sheet 1 (Sheet 1 Row 1 and Sheet 2 Row 2 match).
If that is ok by you, you can do it without VBA using the following formula:
={IF(IFERROR(MATCH(A1&"|"&B1;Sheet7!$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.
I am trying to accomplish a strange task in excel and don't know how to go about it. I'm using Excel 2007 at work and I know very basic vba.
I want to automate a process where a person takes three spreadsheets and dumps certain data from them into one master sheet. The three spreadsheets vary every month in their column order, so unfortunately I can't just program vlookups to run and get the data.
I could be wrong, but it seems like Vlookup Match, Index Match Match, etc. wouldn't work either because they are still referencing cells. I basically need something that will find a column based on the text in the column, rather than its location, because the location will change, but the text will always be the same.
I have two ideas but I have no idea if they work and don't really know where to start on implementing them:
Convert the three spreadsheets to tables and reference the headings with table syntax (I haven't been able to get this to work)
Complex VBA that IDs everything
Can anyone help point me in the right direction to accomplish this task? Thanks so much for your help.
EDIT EXAMPLE
My main template that I'm trying to dump things into is just going to have the ID#s and empty columns:
ID# AltID# Deal
1
2
3
4
5
And then another spread sheet might have look like this
ID# AltID# Deal
1 10101 AAAA
2 20202 BBBB
3 30303 CCCC
4 40404 DDDD
5 50505 EEEE
I could of course vlookup, but the problem is next month, those columns in the second spreadsheet won't be in the same place, in the same order. They could be all the way on colum DD or whatever. So I need a formula that looks them up regardless of the columns location. Just matching them by the heading text. I hope that clarifies...
If you combine VLOOKUP with MATCH you can search based on column name, not index. Remember that the MATCH function returns the numeric index of the match. Let's assume that your data looks like the below:
NAME DAY1 DAY2 DAY3
Bob 123 345 567
Tim 456 789 998
A functioning Vlookup to return the DAY2 column for Tim would look like:
=VLOOKUP("Tim", A2:D3,MATCH("DAY2",A1:D1,0),FALSE)
A couple of notes. Where I've hard coded in words, you can use cell references.
Here is one idea:
get the index of the column ID# in Sheet2 MATCH("ID#",Sheet2!$1:$1,0)
convert to a character: CHAR(MATCH("ID#",Sheet2!$1:$1,0)+64)
get the column range:
INDIRECT(
CONCATENATE("Sheet2!",
CHAR(MATCH("ID#",Sheet2!$1:$1,0)+64),":",
CHAR(MATCH("ID#",Sheet2!$1:$1,0)+64)))
similarly for column AltID#:
INDIRECT(
CONCATENATE("Sheet2!",
CHAR(MATCH("AltID#",Sheet2!$1:$1,0)+64),":",
CHAR(MATCH("AltID#",Sheet2!$1:$1,0)+64)))
with range of ID# and AltID#, we can do the match+index:
=INDEX(
INDIRECT(
CONCATENATE("Sheet2!",
CHAR(MATCH("AltID#",Sheet2!$1:$1,0)+64),":",
CHAR(MATCH("AltID#",Sheet2!$1:$1,0)+64))),
MATCH(A2,INDIRECT(
CONCATENATE("Sheet2!",
CHAR(MATCH("ID#",Sheet2!$1:$1,0)+64),":",
CHAR(MATCH("ID#",Sheet2!$1:$1,0)+64))),0))
Here is an idea to consider:
Give a name to cell ID# e.g "dataJanuary" and use this named-cell as reference using an OFFSET function then you can explore it with vlookup or index-match function or other method.
Next month even if the ID# column is moved to other column or row, it will always reference to the same data since the cell is already named with "dataJanuary".

I have a row of cells with variation of numbers and letters (which all mean something.. not random.)
It's basically a timesheet. If they take a sick day they put in S, if they take a partial sick day they put in PS. The problem is they also put in the hours they did work too. They put it in this format: (number)/PS.
Now if it were just letters I could just do =countif(range,"S") to keep track of how many s / ps cells there are. How would I keep track if they are PS where it also has a number separated by a slash then PS.... I also still need to be able to use that number to add to a total. Is it even possible or will I have to format things different to be able to keep track of all this stuff.
Assuming this is something like what your data looks like:
A B C D E
1 1 2 S 4/PS 8
...then you could do this:
1- add a column that just totals the "S" entries with a COUNTIF function.
2- add a hidden row beneath each real data row that will copy the numerical part of the PS entries only with this function in each column:
=IF(RIGHT(B1,2)="PS",IF(ISERROR(LEFT(B1,LEN(B1)-SEARCH("/",B1)-1)),"",INT(LEFT(B1,LEN(B1)-SEARCH("/",B1)-1))),"")
3- add another column to the right that just totals the "PS" entries by summing the hidden row from step 2.
3- add another column that totals everything by just summing the data row. that will ignore the text entries automagically.
4- have a grand total column that adds those three columns up
If you don't want to see the "S" and "PS" total columns, you can of course just hide them.
So in the end, the sheet would look like this:
A B C D E F G H I J
1 1 2 S 4/PS 8 1 4 11 16
2 4 <--- hidden row
HTH...
My quick take on this is:
pass the cell value into a CSTR function, so no matter what is entered you will be working with a string.
parse the information. Look for S, PS, or any other code you deem to be valid. Use Left or Right functions if you need to look at partial string.
check for number by testing the ascii value, or trying a CINT function, which will only work if the string can be converted to integer.
If you can show a sample of your cells with variation of numbers and letters I can give you more help. Hope this works out.

I am using macros in excel 2007 for my work. I am working with many data and I need to sum data from 2 or more rows in the same coloumn according to the same month. However the month column is expressed as date.
for example, i have series of data
A B
2/10/2008 2
2/10/2008 3
4/10/2008 3
5/11/2008 4
5/11/2008 5
I want the result to be displayed in column C and D as followed
C D
Oct/08 8
Nov/08 9
I am very thankful if anyone can help me.
regards,
Tifu
A B C D E F
1 10/ 1/2008 24106 1 Oct-08 24106 8
2 10/31/2008 24106 7 Nov-08 24107 11
3 11/ 1/2008 24107 8 Dec-08 24108 6
4 11/30/2008 24107 3
5 12/ 1/2008 24108 2
6 12/ 2/2008 24108 4
B1 =MONTH(A1)+YEAR(A1)*12
E1 =MONTH(D1)+YEAR(D1)*12
F1 =SUMIF(B$1:B$6,CONCATENATE("=",E1),C$1:C$6)
I had to overcome two problems to solve this. First, SUMIF can only do direct comparison, it cannot run a function on the source location (except for range functions, which the date and time functions are not), so I had to add the B column. The E column is optional, it could be implemented as part of the formula in F, but I left it independent for illustrative purposes. Second, SUMIF takes a string parameter describing the comparison, so I built the necessary string (it is "=24106" for F1) on the fly.
using array functions:
C1:
=date(2008,small(month($A$1:$A$10),1),1)
C2:
=date(2008,small(month($A$1:$A$10),2),1)
right click on these cells and format them as mmm/yy
D1:
=sum(if(month($C1)=month($A$1:$A$10),($B$1:$B$10),0))
make sure to press ctrl-shift-enter when done writing this formula.
then copy an paste it down as needed.
If you are unfamiliar with VBA, I would start off by recording a macro while doing what you want to do by using the Subtotals feature under the Data menu (i.e. through Excel's interface).
Once the macro is recorded, you can look at the VBA code produced, and alter it to suit your needs.
This should be possible to do using regular excel formulas:
extract the month of the date (some Month-function)
then do a conditional sum (function sumwhen (?)) like this:
= SumWhen(A:B, ReferenceDate, B:B)
(with ReferenceDate = C2 C3 etc.)
(All I have is a German excel and the function names got translated as well, so my function names may be off. Maybe someone can check against an English excel and update if necessary.)
