I have an OpenRefine column with a sequence of identifiers. Some are single integers (22, 27) and some represent a range (28-33, 10023-10110). I'm looking for a way to make each number in that range explicit, so I can then make each value its own row.
Here's the basic technique:
Split the range identifiers into two columns: Id1 and Id2.
Create a new column based on Id2 with this expression
forRange(cells.Id1.value,cells.Id2.value+1,1,x,x).join(",")
Then click "Edits Cells" on the new column and pick "Split multi-valued
cells". This will create new rows for the range.
if you want to populate the data for the new rows click "Edit Cells" and "Fill
Down" on each of the data columns.

Excel 2016 Conditional Formatting question:
I have two tabs, Data and List:
Data has 5 columns. Column A is the item ID number, the others have
project related data.
List has 1 column. This is a list of ID numbers
that have been processed.
Here is the question:
How do I highlight the rows for processed ID numbers? I want to be able to add ID numbers to List as I process more rows. I want to see processed items in Data in green highlight, because green makes the boss happy!
Looking forward to your input!
I would use a VLOOKUP to find the value in the List sheet. An error means the value doesn't exist. Since you want to know if it does exist, just invert the boolean result with NOT
=NOT(ISERROR(VLOOKUP($A1,List!$A:$A,1,FALSE)))
Note: This is a Classic > Formula formatting rule, and the lookup value is $A1 because my "applies to" range starts on row 1 (and we always look at col A).
Rule:
Formatting Range:

I want to ask if there's a way/formula/vba to return multiple values when using vlookup? For example, I vlookup a data and when that data has multiple values to return, it will return the other values. Thanks.
For something as generic as this, just use Google.

Return MULTIPLE corresponding values for ONE Lookup Value
The Excel VLOOKUP Function searches for a value (ie. Lookup_value) in the first column of a table array and returns a value in the same row from another column in the table array. In case of multiple occurrences of the Lookup value, the function searches the first occurrence of the Lookup value, and returns the corresponding value in the same row from another column.
In case you want to return multiple corresponding values, for the one Lookup value which has multiple occurrences, we show how it can be done using INDEX, SMALL, IF & ROW excel functions, as follows.
Consider the table array ("A2:B8"), in which you want to lookup the value "Apples" in column A which has multiple occurrences, and return all corresponding values in column B.
Enter the lookup value "Apples" in cell A11. In cell B11, enter below formula, as an array formula (CTRL+SHIFT+ENTER), and copy it downward in the same column B, in 7 rows (ie. number of times as the number of records in the table array "A2:B8". Multiple corresponding values (of the lookup value "Apples") will get copied vertically, starting from cell B11 till B17. Refer Table 1.
=INDEX($B$2:$B$8, SMALL(IF($A$11=$A$2:$A$8, ROW($A$2:$A$8)-ROW($A$2)+1), ROW(1:1)))

I have a table with source data in columns Regions!A6:R553.
In Regions!A3:R3, I have formulas that pull specific information out of my data table in Regions!A6:R553 that I want copied to a different sheet.
Column A acts as my project name column, while column B holds ID numbers. In my case, there are multiple ID numbers per project.
I am looking for a script to filter and loop through all the unique order numbers in Column B one by one, then copy cells A3:R3 to RegionsSummary!A12:R12 for as many rows as there are unique order numbers (i.e, add rows to the table).
Here is a screengrab of my data sheet, "Regions":

Here is a screengrab of the empty template sheet "RegionsSummary":
i.stack.imgur.com/9Ukz5.png
Example: Assume there are 5 projects in my data sheet. I will filter the data using another macro to select Project_1. I would then like a command button to active a macro that will filter to the first order number in Column B, copy Regions!A3:R3 to RegionsSummary!A12:R12, then filter to the second order number in Project_1, and repeat the process. This should go on until all unique ID numbers have been filtered and looped through.
Here is a screengrab of what a final product should look like:

Here is a link to the file: Final Output Example
I would go with an easier solution than a Macro with certain constraints. I am not able to access your sheet, so I will make a sample excel.
STEPS:
Create a list of unique projects for a dropdown (COPY Regions!A5:A10000 to a new sheet > Data > Remove Duplicates) . Create the dropdown (Data Validation > List > Select Range) using Data Validation in "Example_Result" sheet- C7.
In "Regions", in Col S, put the below formula
=S6&"_"&COUNTIF($S$6:S6,S6)
Copy this formula down for the entire sheet or as long as you expect the sheet to grow
In "Example_Result", insert an index column (1 to 1000, in Col A if you expect each project to have 1000 or less order numbers) from A12 onwards.
Along the columns (B onwards) of Row 11 include the names of the variables from Regions (Assessment Project, Highway etc).
Insert the below formula in B12 to S1000 (depending on number of variables) of Example_Result:
=IFERROR(INDEX(Regions!$A$5:$S$10000,MATCH($C$7&"_"&A$12,Regions!$S$5:$S$10000,0),MATCH(B$11,Regions!$A$5:$H$5,0)),"")
I would like to Index a columns info, run a vlookup of a particular text(s) and then perform an if error to ignore things not like the "lookup value". I have data in column V called "Biscuits" amongst other items of different names. "Biscuits" has to be replaced with a different name. But the name change will not be the same for each occurrence. I would like to maintain the original column V's data and Index that particular columns values into another column. Once I have created a "copy" of the original data named column AV, I then need to run a vlookup on column AV. I have a column AW that has manual information of different names inputted in this column. In the "Indexed" Column AV I would like to run vlookup on "Biscuits" ONLY, skipping other entries and replace "Biscuits" with the contents of column AW (all entries in Column AW for name changes are on the same lines as "Biscuits"
Example
Original Column, Indexed Column, Manual input column and final result
=INDEX(V2, ,)-this is the formula I wrote to Index column V, thus creating column AV
=IFERROR(VLOOKUP("Biscuits",V2:AW2,28,FALSE),"")-This is a formula I wrote to look for "Biscuits" and replace it with the contents of column AW
Please help on this.
Thank you!
According to OP It worked!, the formula being:
=IF(AW2="",V2,AW2)
Ie return the contents of V2 if AW2 is empty and the contents of AW2 otherwise. This can be copied down to apply to other rows, with references adjusting automatically. Neither the 'index column' nor any of INDEX, IFERROR or VLOOKUP were required.
Here is my problem:
Sheet1 = "Interface". Sheet2 = "Data".
Column C5:C160 in "Data" contains a list of tasks.
Row D4:M4 in "Data" contains a list of position types (jobs), which I have labelled with "job categories" from 1-10. The range D5:M160 contains work-hours for each task and position type.
Values in columns E and F in "Interface" are related to columns C and row 4 in "Data" through data validation.
What I want to do is create an advanced filter that can copy values from D5:M160 in "Data" and paste these in column G in "Interface", if the values in columns E and F "Interface" match the values in column C and row 4 in "Data" respectively, simultaneously.
This means that it should be a macro to copy and paste values with matching multiple criteria (two criteria) from one sheet to another.
I have tried different things, with no success. I have also tried array formulas, vlookup and sumifs with multiple criteria, but none of these seem work.
Any ideas?
I appreciate your help!
The index formula combined with match is built just for this.
Index returns a value from a specified table when you provide a row and column.
Match is used to return the row/column based on criteria.
So on the Interface sheet (assuming your data starts in Row 1) you can place the following formula in G1 and copy it down as needed.
=INDEX(Data!$D$5:$M$160,MATCH(E1,Data!$C$5:$C$160,0),MATCH(F1,Data!$D$4:$M$4,0))
