Example:
Column A Column B Column C Column D
90516-9240 107461 107461
90516-9574 124174 107461
90516-9665 143064 124174
90516-9268 148725 124174
90516-9267 161747 128986
90516-9586 171964 133339
where if any number in column B matches any number in column D then the number from column A will fill to column C
so it would look like this:
Column A Column B Column C Column D
90516-9240 107461 90516-9240 107461
90516-9574 124174 90516-9240 107461
90516-9665 143064 90516-9574 124174
90516-9268 148725 90516-9574 124174
90516-9267 161747 128986
90516-9586 171964 133339
What is the simplest formula I can use to do this.
This can be done with a lookup using Index/Match. Assuming row 1 has labels, start in C2 with
=index(A:A,match(D2,B:B,0))
If you swap columns A and B, you can use a Vlookup():
=vlookup(D2,$A$1:$B$1000,2,false)
Copy down.

Below are two sets of data. Each has two columns. I want that that the similar data comes in front of each other.
This is a manual solution with formulas and sorting.
Imagine the following data in columns A to E:
Enter the following formulas into columns G to K
Column G: =IFERROR(IF(VLOOKUP(D:D,A:B,2,FALSE)=E:E,1,2),3)
Column H: =IF(G:G<3,D:D,"")
Column I: =IFERROR(VLOOKUP(H:H,A:B,2,FALSE),"")
Column J: =D:D
Column K: =IFERROR(VLOOKUP(J:J,D:E,2,FALSE),"")
The column G sort by now shows:
1 if part and quantity matched
2 if only part matched
3 if nothing matched
So if you now select data from A3:K10 and sort by column G (sort by) then it will result in this:
I am trying to sort rows of data so that the integer value of an alpha-numerical address is in order of odd values then even values given they are of the same type.
The only way I have got it to (semi)work was this:
-Find if the integer of the address is even or odd
-Add EVEN or ODD to a cell in that addresses corresponding row
-Run the macro
-Filter the data by EVEN or ODD designation
This approach isn't ideal. I am interested in rearranging the rows without having to use filtering.
Below is an example of how the sorting would go.
UNSORTED SORTED
Address Type Address Type
1.1p A 1.1p A
1.2p A 1.2p A
1.3p A 1.3p A
1.4p A 1.4p A

2.2p A 3.2p A

I am new to VBA. Thank you in advance for any suggestions.
I think you need to create a helper column where you can store a value that you can use for sorting.
Basic idea is to extract the numeric value from your "Adress" column, check if it is even and if yes multiply it by an high value (eg 1000) so that it is guaranteed to be higher than the highest possible odd value.
You can use either a formula for this cell - but it's looking a little complicated to me. Assuming that your data starts in cell A2:
=VALUE(LEFT(A2, SEARCH("p", A2, 1)-1))*IF(ISODD(VALUE(LEFT(A2, SEARCH("p", A2, 1)-1))),1,1000)
or write a small UDF
Function SortVal(s As String) As Double
SortVal = Val(s)
If Int(SortVal) Mod 2 = 0 Then SortVal = SortVal * 1000
End Function
and put a call to it in your helper column
=SortVal(A2)
I have
A B
a, d
a, e
a, y
z, v
z, k
z, o
and so on.
Column B is of type cararray and contains key value pairs separated by &.
For example - d = 'abc=1&c=1&p=success'
What I want to figure out --
Suppose -
d = 'abc=1&c=1&xyz=23423423'
e = 'xyz=1&it=ssd'
y = 'abc=1&c=1&p=success'
For every 'a' I want to figure out if it has column b which contains the same value of abc and have c=1 and p = success. I also want to extract the value of abc and c from d and y.
For instance lets take the above example -
d contains abc=1 and c=1
y contains abc=1 and p= success
So this satisfies what I am looking for i.e for a given 'a' i have same value of abc and c=1 and p =success.
I started with grouping my data :
grouped = group data BY (A, B);
which gives me
a, (a,b)(a,e)(a,y)
z, (z,v)(z,k)(z,o)
But after this I am clueless on how to compare data within each group so that the above condition is satisfied.
Any help on this is appreciated.
Please let me know if you want me to clarify further on my question.
Since you are only concerned with some of the fields in the query string (I assume that's what it is), you will want to split the data with a FOREACH and STRSPLIT. Flatten it so you have something that looks like this
(a, b) where b would be a single key/value from the query ex: abc=1
Filter out the key/value pairs you don't care about, join them back together and then group by the combined key/value pairs. That will give you a list of every a with the same b where b only contains abc=X, c=1 and p=success
I have a file (too large) with a structure like this
A B C,D,E,F
The third column contains 4 values (but could be variable) separated with commas. I would like to convert that file into
A B C
A B D
A B E
A B F
Basically replicating the first two and splitting the second into rows.
Any idea on how to do that in awk?
$ awk '{n=split($3,a,/,/);for(i=1;i<=n;i++)print $1,$2,a[i]}' file
A B C
A B D
A B E
A B F
Example:
column A column B
A 1
A 2
B 2
B 2
C 1
C 1
I would somehow like to get the following result:
column A column B
A 1.5
B 2
C 1
(which are averages of 1 and 2, 2 and 2 and 1 and 1)
How do I achieve that?
Thanks
If you're using Excel 2007 or above, you can also use the shorter AVERAGEIF function:
=AVERAGEIF($A$1:$A:$6,D1,$B$1:$B$6)
Less typing, easier to read..
In D1:D3, type A, B, C. Then in E1, put this formula
=SUMIF($A$1:$A$6,D1,$B$1:$B$6)/COUNTIF($A$1:$A$6,D1)
and fill down to E3. If you want to replace the existing data, copy E1:E3 and paste-special-values over itself. Then delete A:C.
Alternatively, you can add headers to your data, say "Letter" and "Number". Then create a Pivot Table from your data. Put Letter in the rows section and Number in the Data section. Change your Data section from SUM to AVERAGE and you'll get the same result.
