it's sounds tricky and it is!
I have an example. I am trying to fill out the red values automatically
As you can see, column A and column B make a tuple and these tuples need to get incremented numbers.
While coding I feel like I am running out of functions to do this. I would be glad for hints, about even how to approach this problem the best!
Thank you!
Use COUNTIFS()
Put this in C1:
=COUNTIFS($A$1:A1,A1,$B$1:B1,B1)
Then copy down

So I feel like this is a pretty simple question, but I cannot for the life of my find the answer, here or elsewhere.
I'm trying to autopopulate a column with custom text. I suppose it would be the row adjacent.
Thought vlookup was the solution, but I'm rusty.
Basically it's financial, if the Description contains, say, "Amazon" or "Subway" I'd like to populate the adjacent cell with "Amazon" or "Online Shopping" or "Subway" or Fast food.
I'm using numbers but assume that excel advice would apply for such a simple (seemingly) task.
Make sense?
Also, hope I formatted the image correctly.
Ok thanks!
Just looking at the sample data I can see a pattern that emerges from these transactions. However, My first thought would be to jump to VBA for Excel but I don't believe that is available for Mac OS.
Vlookup will only work with the Range_Lookup set to TRUE which means it will try to find the closest match. This might lead to incorrect matches returned or problems with the requirement for sorting your table array that is being queried.
The only other thing that came to mind which would work for a single query value such as "Amazon" OR "Subway" would be to use a nested formula that checks if that substring is found in the Description column for each cell. This would be something like:
=IF(FIND("Amazon",D1)>0,"Amazon","")
The problem with this is that it only checks for one value and it does not have an error handling mechanism so each string that is checked without the word "Amazon" in it will return a #Value error in Excel.
I have the following input data range
and the following desired output
The first block with Compals will be always the same - so 5 rows. Base Unit Current and Base Unit Later blocks will be variable - sometimes eight options and sometimes more than eight options.
I'm very new in excel vba so unfortunately I have no idea how to do that. Please, could anyone help me or give me some advice. Many thanks in advance.
Wonder you accept this kind of answer of not?
Instead of table, I think this kind of pivot may suitable your need:
I reform the table
Create the pivot table
I am trying to run an IF statement in Google Spreadsheet that will, if "Yes" SUM a series of values.
=IF(G3="Yes",=SUM(C3*D3)+(E3*D3))
This works (if I ignore the IF) and just do =SUM(C3*D3)+(E3*D3), so I know my math is correct.
I have read a few different posts that are asking similar questions, but many have "guesses" and are offering different structured formulas, so I'm not really even sure what the proper structure is any more.
Basically, for the nerdy portion of you, the spreadsheet does the following:
If the "killed" column is Yes, I need to calculate the XP of the monsters killed.
Base XP (C3) times Qty (D3), plus Bonus XP (E3) times Qty (D3) and them SUM the value.
The equal sign (=) in front of SUM should not be there. If your formula works I guess Google Docs just ignores it. Also, the function SUM() is useful to add the values from a range of cells from the same row or column when you don't know in advance how many cells you will add (or there are more than 2 cells and you use SUM() because it's less to write).
If I understood your request, the formula you need is:
=IF(G3="Yes",C3*D3+E3*D3)
Right now the SUM function is only wrapping C3*D3 then you are adding (E3*D3). This is the same as (C3*D3)+(E3*D3) not using the SUM function. Order of operations tells us there is no need for the parentheses so you could write C3*D3+E3*D3.
The IF function has the following parameters:
IF(EVALUATION,IF TRUE,IF FALSE)
So your final equation would be:
=IF(G3="YES",C3*D3+E3*D3,"")
I always add the FALSE return to be blank so that if I need to change it later I can do so.
I have the following problem. I have two columns, one contains measuring values and the other declares the state of the values (like actual state and desired state) Now I'm searching for a statement that creates an output where one column contains the measuring values with the actual state and a second column with the disired state values.
Thx in advance already.

I think you want something called pivotting:

Other recommended reading to brush up on your string concatenation techniques, where you'd also need some smart grouping and ordering:

You'll find some nice tricks/methods there to do even much fancier stuff.
I need to get data in multiple row of one column.
For example data from that format
ID Interest
Sports
Cooking
Movie
Reading
to that format
ID Interest
Sports,Cooking
Movie,Reading
I wonder that we can do that in MS Access sql. If anybody knows that, please help me on that.
Take a look at Allen Browne's approach: Concatenate values from related records
As for the normalization argument, I'm not suggesting you store concatenated values. But if you want to join them together for display purposes (like a report or form), I don't think you're violating the rules of normalization.
This is called de-normalizing data. It may be acceptable for final reporting. Apparently some experts believe it's good for something, as seen here.
(Mind you, kevchadder's question is right on.)
Have you looked into the SQL Pivot operation?
Take a look at this link:

Just noticed you're using access. Take a look at this article:
http://www.blueclaw-db.com/accessquerysql/pivot_query.htm
This is nothing you should do in SQL and it's most likely not possible at all.
Merging the rows in your application code shouldn't be too hard.
