I am trying to sort data based upon either color (RGB(186,200,8)) or value ("AMP") within a cell. That part is easy but the problem comes when I want to look for the same value/color in multiple columns (it can occur up to four times) and put the ones with all for equal to the value at the top and then three values next and on down to no match.
I'm not sure how to go about, I think a for loop and/or else would work but I can't come up with one. Any suggestions?
My suggestion would be to calculate "hit" value for the row and based on that you could do the sort easily. For instance if you have two matches on the row value for that row = 2 etc. after each row validated just sort by the value and clean the data.

I am trying to filter and setup a table containing all the unique combinations of message types.
So with three message types as an example below, I want to create a table with all the possible flows from this.
So every time MessageA exists, it is either followed by a MessageA, MessageB, MessageC or is the last of the sequence.
And everytime we see MessageC it is only followed by MessageA.
On the left, is the data and on the right is the desired result.
I want this to be able to scale to multiple columns/rows
You could do it by comparing two offset ranges, A1:D5 and B1:E5
=SUMPRODUCT(($A$1:$D$5=$G2)*($B$1:$E$5=K$1))
As you can see, I have cheated slightly by setting K1 blank so it compares correctly with column E, but this could be made part of a longer formula if it was necessary to have END as the column header for K.
I have a Excel sheet, which includes many groups and subgroups. Each subgroup has their own subtotal. And as long as I can't know how many lines users will require for the subgroups, I only left 3 rows blank for each subgroup and created a button which triggers Automatically Copy and Insert Copied Row macro.
Now I need to avoid users to trigger the button while they are on the First and the Last row of any subgroup. (If you copy and insert first row, subtotal formula doesn't recognise the new added line because it will be out of the range and Last row has another specific formulas which I don't want users to copy above)
I've been searching SO and the other Excel blogs for a long time but because of my list is very dynamic and have many different subtotals none of them was suitable to my case.
How can I define all of the first and last rows of my different subtotal ranges (and maybe their Title's rows) to avoid them being copied and then inserted above?
I can imagine 2 ways to do this. When the "New Row" button is pressed check if the current row is a headline/subheadline whatever …
by checking its format (eg specific background color etc).
If Not Worksheets("Sheet1").Range("A" & iRow).Interior.Color = 15004911 Then
'copy that row
End If
or by using an extra helper column that specifies the rows as header rows or non copyable rows. If you don't want the helper column to be seen you can hide it.
If Not Worksheets("Sheet1").Range("X" & iRow).Value = "Header" Then
'copy that row
End If
'where X is the helper column
And if it is a headline row then deny the copy process.
One way that doesn't involve programming have your sum range extend into rows that won't change. So you could start the subtotal in the header row (assuming there is no content in the relevant cell in that row). Another way is to have a hidden row at the top and bottom of each sum range and that is included in the sum range. So you would sum rows 10 to 14, but 10 and 14 would be hidden (and empty) and the user would just get shown rows 11, 12 and 13. Adding a new row would push the hidden rows down and extend the subtotal.
Another way is to use the indirect function.
Say your formula was
=SUBTOTAL(9,H7:H10)
If you use indirect for the lower bound, it will always refer to the cell immediately above, regardless of how many rows are added in between.
=SUBTOTAL(9,H7:INDIRECT("H"&ROW()-1))
And taking it one step further, use the upper title row as the anchor to always add up the gap between the title and the subtotal.
=SUBTOTAL(9,INDIRECT("H"&ROW(H6)+1):INDIRECT("H"&ROW()-1))
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 list of stock prices for several stocks. Some of the values are missing due to weekends, holidays and probably other reasons.
The gaps are not consistent. Some are two days and some are more than that.
I want to fill the gaps with the last known value but not at the end of the list.
I have tried in Excel to test a few cells below and if it's now empty, do the fill. The problem is that due to the inconsistency of the gaps, it's a tedious task to change the function for all the cases.
Is there a way to test for the end of a list?
UPDATE - added a screenshot.
See this screenshot. I want to fill where the blue dots are. The red dots are at the end of the list and I don't want to fill those cells.
I am looking for a way to detect the end of the list and stop the filling when the end is detected.
I think this is pretty difficult in OpenRefine and probably a different tool would work better. The main issue is that OpenRefine does not offer the ability to easily work across rows so 'summing a column' (or part of a column) is tricky - this is mentioned in https://github.com/OpenRefine/OpenRefine/issues/200
However, you can do this by forcing OpenRefine in Record mode with the whole project containing a single record. Once you've done this you can access all values in a column using syntax like:
row.record.cells["Column name"].value
This gives an array of all the non-blank values in the column. Since this ignores blank values, in order to have a true view of the values in the column you have to fill in blank cells with a value.
So I think you could probably achieve what you want as follows:
For each column you are going to work with do a cell transform to put a dummy value in empty cells - e.g. if(isBlank(value),"null",value)
Create a new column at the start of your project and put a single value in the very first cell in that column
Switch to Record mode
At this point you should have a single 'Record' in your project - e.g.
You can now access all cells in a column using syntax like row.record.cells["Column 1"].value. You can combine this with 'forRange' to iterate through the contents of this array, using the row.index as the marker for the current row.
I used the following formula to add a new column to the project:
with(row.record.cells["Column 1"].value,w,if(forRange(row.index,w.length(),1,i,w[i].toNumber()).sum()>0,"a","b"))
Then...
Change back to 'Row' mode
Remove the 'null' placeholder from the original column
Create a facet on the 'fill filter' column
In my case I filter to 'a'
Use the 'fill down' option
Remove the filter
And remove the 'record' column
Rather a long winded way of doing it to say the least, but so far I've not been able to find anything better while not going outside OpenRefine. I'm guessing you could probably compress steps 5-11 into a single step or smaller number of steps.
If you want to access the array of cell values using Jython as suggested by iMitwe you need to use:
row["record"]["cells"]["Column 1"]["value"]
instead of
row.record.cells["Column 1"].value
(step 5)
I am doing this on the top of my head, but I think your best chance my be using the fill down option in record mode:
first move your column to the first column and switch to record mode.
then use the following GREL: row.record.cells["data"].value[-1] where data is the name of your column
The [-1] will take the last value and fill the blank. For the case with the red dot, since there is no value it should remains empty. Let us know how it goes.
Unless there's something I am missing or not seeing...
I would have just sorted reverse (date ascending) on the Date column, then individually use Fill Down on each column, except for that last column where you could then use a Date facet on your column Date to specify the exact Date range you wanted to work with, then fill down on that last column, then remove the Date range facet.
I have a datagridview that is only two or three rows long. It has 7 text columns, one for each day of the week (Monday - Sunday). I'm creating a scheduler, so basically on the left side I have added text to the row headers to assign to it. I.e. Enabled (let's say for Tuesday), start time and end time. This allows the user to schedule as need be.
Here's a picture of it right now:
What I want to do is possibly change the enabled row, or the start/end time to a particular type. So the enabled will be a checkbox and the start/end times will be drop down menus instead of these text boxes.
My question is, what's the "best" way to add a row of a certain type? Obviously columns are done easily, but is there a common method for a row type other than looping through and adding individual cells of that type to the datagridview?
The type of each cell can only be pre-determined by the column, not the row. As a result, you're going to have to add each cell individually. You can actually put a cell of any type anywhere you want. You simply create a cell of the desired type and assign it to the Item property of the grid, e.g.
myDataGridView(columnIndex, rowIndex) = newCell
You will simply have to use a For loop to do that for each valid column index with a single row index. Note that you'll have to create a new cell for each column, not reuse the same one.
