Array Formula Not Expanding To Match Lines Added To Table?
May 3, 2014
I have a number of array formulas that refer back to the table in the top left. The array formulas are in Columns I and L, and cells N200, N203, and P203.
Normally when I add a new line to the top left table (usually by clicking on the empty box below the previous final line and typing the date), the table expands by one row and the array formulas all adjust to match, i.e. all the A180/C180s in the formulas become A181/C181s, etc.
However every once in a while (maybe once a month), the arrays simply refuse to update, and I can't figure out why. When they fail, they all fail, it's not hit or miss. You'll see in the attached sheet that though I've added a line to the table (A181) and data to that line, all the arrays still read through A180/C180.
Why this randomly fails to update, and if it's something I'm doing incorrectly?
And that leads to an associated question. In the past when this has failed in this manner, I've laboriously gone through and changed all the cell references manually, in every single individual cell. (After doing it once, the arrays usually magically start auto-expanding again.) I'm certain there is a way to make those formulas refer to a named range, instead of all being manual references, but after spending an hour on it, I keep getting #VALUE errors.
I've been using [URL] ..... and pages like it as a reference without success. Obviously, I would prefer that the formulas auto-update without issue per my first issue above, but in the event that they don't, it'd be really nice to just change the ranges in one location and have that propagate across the sheet.
Say I have 3 columns of data: A1:C10 and I want to run a Match() function on them all together to see if I get a match any one those cells, say the value of have in X1.
Since, Match only allows a One-Column lookup array.. is there a way to "concatenate" or "append" the 3 columns together within a formula so now I would be looking to Match in an array that is 1 column * 30 rows?
Basically want to convert =Match(X1,A1:C10,0) to =Match(X1,A1:A30,0) without moving around the raw data in the sheet.
And I want to avoid doing an AND or OR formula that uses 3 separate MATCH() for each column.
I have a hunch that the MMULT or MMULT/TRANSPOSE functions are involved, but can't seem to get it right.
I have added three lines above the existing data, and now the print preview doesn't work. Where the range is names as X18 I have added to bump everything down. I get an error in the SetActiveSheet.VPageBreak..... line. I'm sure the issue is with the range, but I'm just not sure what the issue is.
Here's the code:
ActiveWindow.View = xlPageBreakPreview Dim i As Integer With ActiveSheet.PageSetup .PrintTitleRows = "" .PrintTitleColumns = "$A:$Z"
Is it possible to make a self expanding table. What I have is a sheet with a table with loads of biking tracks with track number, date, nr of miles and so on...
I'd like to make a table on the second sheet so that I can see only the tracks that auto fill as I put in info about number of miles or date or track number.
And I'd like it to auto expand so I don't have a lot of wasted space on the page. I'd like the TOTAL amount of miles, when i put in multiple tracks, to move up or down when I add or remove tracks...
I have a problem in expanding/collapsing fields in pivot table.
I have source table with GROUP, SUBGROUP, ACCOUNT and AMOUNT. In pivot table I've put GROUP, SUBGROUP and ACCOUNT in Row labels respectivly, and AMOUNT in values. There are same names in SUBGROUP for different names in GROUP. (for example: groups are Production costs and Distribution costs and in each of them there are subgroups Personnel costs and Other costs).
The question is: Is it possible to expand only field Other costs in group Distribution costs while field Other costs in group Production costs stays collapsed?
So I have recorded a macro that filters for certain criteria in a master list of projects, then copies the projects that meets this criteria and pastes it into a timeline in another worksheet. However, because the list of projects gets bigger and smaller when the filter criteria changes, right now I have to create twenty extra rows so that the pasted list doesnt ourgrow my timeline. How I could input a few lines in my macro so that the table for the timeline expands as the number of prjects grows or shrinks.
One method I have tried is to copy the filtered data and "Insert Copied Cells" into the table, however I don't even get the option to insert copied cells after I have copied the data...
I would like to use some VB code to search a Pivot Table, find a specific value and show the details relating to the value. I used the following code I have obtained from another thread in the forum
Sub Expand_Pivot_Values() Dim rngFind As Range Dim rngPTData As Range, rngPTC1 As Range Dim rngF As Range, rngP As Range Dim strFind As String Set rngFind = ActiveSheet.Range("J3:J6") 'set the pivot table data range - see help file for property description Set rngPTData = ActiveSheet.PivotTables(1).DataBodyRange 'set start cell for find Set rngPTC1 = rngPTData.Cells(1) For Each rngF In rngFind.Cells 'set variable to find........................
This code works fine but only identifies the first time the value appears in the pivot table and shows detail relating to that value. I need add to the code to search the pivot table and find recurring values. For example if the value is "2" I would like to show detail on each "2" value there is in the pivot table.
I have the following array formula that identifies the first number in the column I:
=INDEX(I1:I1200,MATCH(TRUE,ISNUMBER(I1:I1200),0))
This formula works fine however I was hoping to expand the range to the entire column. I thought (obviously incorrectly) that the following formula would work:
=INDEX(I:I,MATCH(TRUE,ISNUMBER(I:I),0))
Instead of getting the same result as the first formula, I am getting "#N/A".
I have two pivot tables where if one expands a subtotal (in this case 'manufacturer') to give the lines below (products made by the manufacturer), is it possible for this to be mirrored in the second pivot? I noted a previous comment on using slicers across two pivots but I cannot do this in this instance, although I am using Excel 2010.
Imagine 5 periods of sales, growing by $550 per year, from $250 to $2,250. There is a columnar table with sales in increments of $500 to $2,000 paired with margin percentages.
Using INDEX(MarginColumn,MATCH(Sales,SalesColumn,1)) successfully retrieves the correct margin % for each period where Sales is that year's sales.
So, I tried to construct an array formula in the following way:
Sales is not changing, so that only the 1st year's margin percentage is being applied to each year's sales. I confirmed this by extending the array to a multi-cell layout.
How can I correct the formula so that the margin percentage is looked up as if it were using each year's sales independently? I know I can just SUM the array once this works, but this is my current road block.
P.S. If you see this answer immediately, how might I multiply the percentages by the sales that increase by $500 and sum the whole expression into one cell?
I'm tryig to find a way to index data in an array that meets certain matching criteria. I am looking for an employee's rate on a given day by searching a database that lists the dates that an employee's rate was changed. I was hoping to solve it with a crafty index and match array formula but have been unable to find something that works so far. I have attached a simplified example of what I am trying to do.
I'm using the following formula to look at a range of cells and return the most common text entry. The formula works fine as long as there is text; if there are more blank cells than entries, then it returns a 'blank' and my formula cell is empty. How to clean this up so that it ignores blank cells?
I need to find a way to find an array in a tab to use for an index/match function I have.
this is what i would normally use: =index(tab_array,match($a2, tab!$a$1:$a$1000,0),match($B$1,tab!$a$1:$zz$1,0))
This formula would usually work fine when I know that within the tab, the array in which the row match is searching doesn't change. However, that array may change in the future, to say column H, without my knowing as it is a database that gets automatically populated from an upstream system.
Is there a way to search for an array within an index/match?
I am trying to understand how to use index and match in an array formula. Probably easiest to take a look at my example sheet. For some reason, the first result is working, but the others aren't.

The formula I have tried is: =INDEX($E$3:$E$11,MATCH(1,IF($A$3:$A$11=G3,IF($B$3:$B$11=H3, IF($C$3:$C$11=I3,IF($D$3:$D$11=MEDIAN(J3,K3,$D$3:$D$11),1,0) ,0),0),0),0))
[qoute]I have five cells that I am working with cells A,B,C,D & E. cells B & C are time formated. Cells D & E are number formated and equal the number of hours between cells B & C. the difference is that if cell D is less that 2 hrs then cell E is to equal 2 hrs but if cell D is over 2 hrs then cell E equals the value of cell D. All this works fine but I am needing to add in the value of cell A. So if I have say CT in cell A then cell E will equal the value of cell D no matter if is less than 2 hrs[/quote]
I am trying to run an array formula to match two dates on two seperate sheets as close together based on another cell. Below is what I currently have on some made up values. I am entering it as an array and ideally I would like it to run down the cells changing the reference A2 depending on which cell it is then to then enter this into a macro.
The problem is I am trying to get the table Array portion (A:B , C:D , E:F etc.) to auto fill when I drag it across and it will but not correctly. How to autofill with the pattern that I need?
Currently it would auto fill with D:E , F:G, H:I G:H I:J
I'm trying to sort a table as displayed in the image below. The table consisting of items in column A, here fruits, and a column E where totals over three month is displayed.
I have entered an array formula in column H where the total of each fruit is summed and then sorted in descending order. My problem is that whenever two fruits have equal value (here, apple and pear), Excel will not manage the display of both fruits, it will just display the first twice. The formula in column I is a simple SUMIFS.
It doesn't matter if Apple or Pear is displayed first, but I need both items to be displayed in column H.
I'm working on a project in Excel (for a restauraunt) and I basically need to make a formula to work out what an item is, using it's ID number and referencing the certain menu that it is in.
as you can see the table array is defined in cell E3, but i still get a #N/A result, and when I replace the "E3" in the formula with "Deserts" it produces a result.
I'm trying to condense a table of calculations down to a single array formula, but am getting stuck on one piece of it.
The table data is very simple, and can be in just two columns:
1, value 2, value 3, value 4, value 5, value
Where 1 thru 5 are time periods, and values are various numbers.
I want to perform the GammaDist function on each value. It requires a time period input, and in this case it is the 1 thru 5 in the table. So at the end of period 5, the formula for the first value would be
=Gammadist(5,x,y,TRUE) (x,y values not important here)
and the formula for the second value would be:
=Gammadist(4,x,y,TRUE)
The only thing that changes is the period number.
So, my goal is to write an array formula that will sum the GammaDist for each of the 5 rows, for all timeperiods (which is 5 in this case)
I can get this far:
={SUM(B1:B5*GAMMADIST(ROWS(1:5)-1,C1,C2,TRUE))}
But this passes 1 thru 5 to all rows, I only want 1 thru 5 passed to row 1, 1 to 4 passed to row 2, etc.
i want to change the table_array reference without changing formula in every worksheet. I tried using a new worksheet and naming it the same as what is referenced in vlookup table_array but it messed up all the data.
I have to use a different worksheet every month so need a way to change reference OR how to change array data without messing up the worksheets with the vlookup
I would like to have vlookup formua. And I would like the sheet for the table array section be linked to a cell value. So in my workbook this is my vlookup formula:
=VLOOKUP(B2,sheet1!B2:C8,2,FALSE)
I would like to to be something like =VLOOKUP(B2,(=b3)!B2:C8,2,FALSE). This way I can change the value in B3 and the vlookup formula will look for values in a different sheet as opposed to the one I originally designated in the formula.
I need to create a dynamic list from a table of data.
I have performance data for 110 different pumps. Data points are generated every hour, and the table is updated with new data periodically. I want to automate the population of a list of 6 different pumps, and specify the date range populated. To put it another way: I want to place data from Pumps 1 through 6 for all of November into Columns A through F. Then I want to clear that data, and show data for Pumps 105-110 for last week in those same Columns.
One of the main goals of doing this -- other than quickly narrowing a field of data -- is being able to quickly chart this data on a scatter plot with a custom format. The pumps are grouped together by region, and individual pumps have specific purposes. So I need to quickly generate graphs with a series' color scheme or formatting that is consistent and logical between different pumping regions.
I haven't been able to make pivot table work because of the graphing issue, and also because of the way it handles data points and presents data. I would like to make this work with excel functions and maybe some filtering, but I'm not opposed to figuring out a VB script if you think that's what I should use.
