Calculate Only Last Occurrence Or Occurrence Before Specified Number
Dec 24, 2013
I'm getting an export from a CDR. This export contains the date and times people log on and off from a queue. For logging in they dial 511, for logging out they dial 512. They get a voice prompt and type their password. I need to know how much time they daily spend in this queue
At first this looks pretty easy. I just make a sum of all the times they called to 511, then a sum of all time they called to 512 and finally I substract those values and I end up with the correct time spend in the queue.
The problem comes when they call multiple times to 512 without actually logging off. For example, they type the wrong password or simply hang up.
Result is this in the CDR
FROM TO DATE TIME
101 511 23/12 08:34
101 512 23/12 11:58
101 511 23/12 12:34
101 512 23/12 14:45
101 512 23/12 14:47
101 512 23/12 15:00
The actual time spend in the queue is 5 hours and 50 minutes. But Excel calculates this as 35 hours and 22 minutes, because it counts the 512 values no matter what.
How can I make sure that Excel only calculates the values of they are either the last value in the row OR if they are preceded by 511?
I have an worksheet where I use sequential numbers in column B but it often happens that we insert some more rows with the same number in the B column.
Ex.:
01 02 03 04 04 04 04 05 06 06
Now we would like to have a macro that will format the text color (change to white) in columns B & D as soon as there is a second (or more) occurrence(s) of the same preceding number.
Ex.:
01 – Black (unchanged) 02 – Black (unchanged) 03 – Black (unchanged) 04 – Black (unchanged) 04 – White (changed) 04 – White (changed) 04 – White (changed) 05 – Black (unchanged) 06 – Black (unchanged) 06 – White (changed)
In my worksheet, I have a column of ascending dates from BD7 to BD22, with BD22 being the current date. In column BN, I track whether a process is "Over" or "Under" a limit.
The values in column BN are text with either of those names.
I need to return two values in cells BO7 and BO8 respectively:
1) The number of consecutive days back from the most current day that have been "Over" the limit
2) The date going from the most current day that the first "Over" occurred
I've found Nth_Occurrence and it's frankly brilliant but I need to be able to return the occurrence number of a value in a range and it doesn't quite do what I need.
Using = COUNTIF(A$1:A1,A1) gives me exactly the answer I need but as I'm working with big ranges it's taking a lot of calculation time.
how to search a defined range (using namned range and offset to last non empty row) and register row number for the first occurance of each ID using VBA. I made an example file where I need to search column A (search range using namned range "ID" and offset to last non empty row) and register rownumber for the first occurance of each ID in Column C.
I would like to lookup the last occurence of a particular cell value in a worksheet and use the cell value in the column immediately adjacent to this one in a calculation.
For example, The text "Run #" occurs several times in a sheet with a numerical value in the next column over. I would like to use the last occurence - or as far as that goes, the largest occurence of the numerical value. Unfortunately, there is additional data in between the "Run #" occurences, so a simple max() for the column will not work.
I am trying to extract the last occurence of ppp (4th column). So as long as 4th column is "ppp", i would want to extract the row wher the the last "ppp" occurence start and display in sheet2 "108-Jan-07vcdppp4". If data in 4th column is detected to be "ppp1", it would also extract the row wher the last "ppp1" occurence start and display in sheet2.
Note that the number of ocurrence is random and do not follow specific pattern. Pls see the attached for the example.
I need to find out last occurrence of price (Last Date of Occurrence). Column A contains Date; Column B contains Highest Price of Equity Stock in that date. Reference price (Price we want to look up) is calculated in Cell E1, Cell E2 contains start of evaluation period (date), Cell E3 contains end of evaluation period (date). I want to find out the date on which "last" occurrence of Reference price in Column B "during the evaluation period" was found.
I'm having a problem seperating the prices in Colomn H into three seperate cells C,E & G The first figure in c is easy enough if a little long (any possible tidier solutions?) The second Im not happy with it is clumsy using the fixed lenght figure "5" The last I cant figure out probably because Ive done the second incorrectly! Finally I can not see why figures apear in away team.
I have tried using the 'arbitrary lookup' function as listed here but can't seem to get it to work. [URL] .....
I have a list of all football fixtures and results in the premier league this season and I have a separate worksheet with a drop down menu to load each team.
What I am struggling to do is to get a function that will obtain the data corresponding to each of the home fixtures and the away fixtures of the team selected in the drop down menu.
I have managed to get the first result but do not know how to get the 2nd occurrence, the 3rd etc.
I have attached the excel sheet for reference. As shown in the "After" sheet, i need the 2nd to nth instance of duplicate keywords to be highlighted with some color.
Now what I need is a formula similar to the one provided in the above referenced thread; however, I need it to sum the totals of all Children (C) from column BW in the attached excel file, and return the sum values found in BW to the corresponding employee (E), before the next E occurrence, or blank, if the row below the last row containing a C value in row M in blank.
refer to the excel file, specifically the row highlighted in RED, and the explanation to the right of it, for further clarification on what I'm needing the formula to do.
Ultimately, I have a census of employees with rates, and some employees cover their children, and I'm needing a formula that will be able to total up the monthly premium for each employee's covered children, and bring that total up to the same row that the employee's data is located.
I have a few dozen columns of data and would like from each row to count the number of negative numbers in every 3 occurrences. E.g. in row 2 I’d want to count the negative occurences in B2, E2, H2, K2 etc. Also, I’d like to be able to count the total number of occurences along each row, again counting every 3rd occurrence, though this time both negative and positive values.
I am trying to find an in-cell formula to find a cell with a specific value and return the value in column A of the same row. Typically this is handled by Lookup or VLookup or HLookup. However, these only find the first occurrence of the value, I even know how to find the last occurrence, but what about in between? In my spreadsheet I have reoccurring values that I need the value in column A of the same row, but I need more than just the first or last but every instance in between. How to do this?
I have to calculate bonus payments for people working O/S. I have a 5 year calendar in month blocks (60 months/columns). In each month there is a percentage 'time O/S' figure.
If an employee is O/S for 3 consecutive months they get bonus 'A', 6 consective months bonus 'B', etc. How can I evaluate the 60 columns, returning the number of times 100% occurs in 3 consecutive months/columns. I have found examples of similar solutions but they will return a value of 3 if there are 5 consecutive months of 100%...
ie. 100 100 100 100 100 = 100 100 100 *** *** & *** 100 100 100 *** & *** *** 100 100 100 = 3 but I need it to equal 1
I have a table about 35,000 rows. I just sorted the table so now you can see the data by date a time of occurrence. Now there is duplicate data... like almost duplicate 1 or 2 fields are different which is ok BUT I just want to extract the first occurrence so E.G.:
765432 Data data data etc etc maybe something different here 765432 data etc maybe different here 765432 data same thing 765449 data.... 765449 data... 800000 data 898427 data 898427 data etc...
OUTPUT: 765432 Data data data etc etc maybe something different here 765449 data.... 800000 data 898427 data
Notice how it just took the 1st occurrence and not all... I tried Advance filter but the data is all unique so it doesnt work it takes everything... I tried recording a macro but its crazy! and I did a pivot table took the first field... tried a vlookup and thought I could drag it but its getting too complicated...
I have 2 sheets with a formula in sheet 2 looking to pick up information from sheet 1. the formula in sheet 2 is:
=HLOOKUP(C8,'Cost-Effort'!$B$7:$AH$42,26, FALSE)
But C8 appears in W7 and X7 in sheet 1 and will only pick up the first Occurrence and I need it to pick up the second Occurrence for this specific task.
Let's say I have numeric nonzero and zero data in A2:X2. How do I find the first, second, third, second-to-last, last occurrence of a nonzero or zero value. I am able to find the first nonzero value by using Match(true, A2:X20, 0) to find the relative position, and then using index to find the value. This method also works with the first zero value, but I can't seem to find how to do the second, third, nth occurrence.
I understand that the function FIND(find_text, within_text, start_num) will find the first occurrence of a stated string. And by adjusting the start_num, you can skip a set number of characters before the search begins.
But, is there a way to find the Last occurrence of said string? In my case the find_text string may occur multiple times in the variable length within_text cell to be searched.
In the above 2 sample strings the output of the Find() function needs to be 26 & 40. Having a cell formula would be desirable, but if it can only be done by VBA that is acceptable, also.
I have data across rows in which I want to find the 1st occurance of a non blank cell and return this as a reference.
The formula in col A was kindly provided by Aladin, this finds the last entry, can this be tweaked? I'll be honest and say that I dont't quite understand how it works.
I need to know how to create a drop down menu from a very large spreadsheet of Column A but have it only return 1 occurrance. NOT in VBA.
Example: Column A - these are different Value Streams PMV, SMV and WRV but this will show up over 100 times each as there are many departments per Value Stream I would only like to see 1 occurrance
Column B - Is a list of departments per value stream but will have duplicate departments Example: PMV - PM9, PMV - PMA, PMV - PMB
I would like to have a drop down and be able to select from the three value streams (Column A) and it return one occurrance then the departments that correspond with the Value Stream (Column B).
I am using vlookup to find the ORIGIN data and DESTINATION data but the subheading is the same for both- see below(site name, city...). How do I find the second occurrence for the same heading?
Is there another command that would be better?
col A col B Line#1ORIGIN INFO: Line#1 CONTACT NM Line#1 CONTACT PH# Line#1 CONTACT EML Line#1 SITE NAME Line#1 ADDRESS Line#1 CITY Line#1 ST ZIP CTY Line#1 DAY&WINDOW Line#1 LIVE/DROP?
Line#1DESTIN INFO: Line#1 CONTACT NM Line#1 CONTACT PH# Line#1 CONTACT EML Line#1 SITE NAME Line#1 ADDRESS Line#1 CITY Line#1 ST ZIP CTY
In one column, i get the ID. In the next column of the same row i get the status. My question is to find the number of occurrence of a specific ID with a specific status on another sheet. Attached worksheet sheet "count" has the source with ID at column C and status at column D. My expected result is in another sheet "expected result". I think a macro is needed, but i can't really figured out the way to do this counting.
Is there a way to build a formula that looks up the first record in a table that has a value of A and X? Value =A Value=X. The next formula would would then return the next record that was a value of A with a value of x that was greater than or equal to 4?
Table 1 A x 2 A 3 A x 4 A 5 A x
The 1st formula would return a value of 1. The 2nd formula would return a value of 5.
