Compare Smallest Value With Cell Above & Calculate

Aug 28, 2007

I'm having trouble with the "sister" formula I need to add. I've tried the function SMALL, but apparently not in the right format.... Here is some data again, with the answers I'm seeking & notes in Col C:

mon....6....(first data pt, so nothing here)
tue.....8.....33.33 (this is 2/6ths higher than 6)
wed...10....66.66 (this is 4/6th higher than 6)
thurs...8....33.33 (same as tuesday)
fri.......6.....00.00 (Equal to the lowest data pt, ie 6)
sat.....5.....(finally a vlaue less than 6, so: "ERR")
sun.....7.....40.00 (7 is 2/5th higher than 5)
mon....15....200.00 (10/5ths higher than 5)
tue.....4......(a new lowest value; "ERR")
wed....8......100.00 (4/4ths greater than 4)

That is, any value in Col B that is GREATER than the lowest, SMALLEST value that has preceeded it - in chronological order - will reflect the % by which it is greater. When a new lowest value appears in Col B, a simple text "ERR" would appear, and THAT new low value will be the new "target" the subsequent values in B are compared to. (In the example, once 5 appears, we stop looking at 6...)

Compare Highest Value With Cell Above & Calculate

Aug 4, 2007

I have a set of values in the 2nd column (Col B). I have shown in Column C (I've added some notes to the right).

mon........7..........(first value, so nothing here)
tue........8..........na, or ERR.......................... 8 IS the highest value in B, so no math to do yet
wed.......10..........na, or ERR.......................... 10 is greater than 8…the new highest value in Col B
thu.........8...........(20.00)............................. The value, 8, is 20% less than the Highest value so far in Col B
fri..........6..........(40.00)............................. The value, 6, is 40% less than the Highest value so far in Col B.....

Namely, any value in Col B that is LESS than the highest, greatest, largest value that has preceeded it in chronological order will reflect by what % it is lower. (Eg, 8 is 20% less than 10). When a NEW higher value appears in Col B, there would be no answer in C (or simply "ERROR", or n.a.), and this new, largest value would be what subsequent values in Col B are compared to.

Address Of Smallest 5 Numbers (return The Value In Column 1 For The Smallest 5 Numbers)

Jan 14, 2010

I am using the following array equation to return the value in column 1 for the smallest 5 numbers. It works for small 1 and 3 but i get a #NUM! for 2 , 4 , and 5. The smallest 5 numbers are:

0
3.196408441
4.491972091
4.491972091
4.491972091

Equation:

Return Cell Address Of Largest & Smallest Value In Column

Jun 2, 2009

How would I return a cell reference (address) to a cell that contains the largest number in a list?

I tried using "Address(large....) where I get the correct column, but the returned row # is the actual value in the cell (the highest # in the list).

I eventually will want to delete the highest number to leave the cell blank.

Compare Cells And Use A Range Of Values To Calculate Totals

Apr 16, 2007

I want to compare cells and use a range of values to calculate totals (i.e. count if cell A1=boy and cell A2 equals either "fat" or "skinny")? Also, I tried using wildcard character "*" in the SUMPRODUCT formula, which didn't work (i.e. if cell A1="boy*" would return at TRUE if the cell contained "boy", "boys", "boy and girl", etc.). Is there a way to include wild card characters in a SUMPRODUCT formula like the ones described above?

How To Neglect Smallest Value In A Formula

Feb 26, 2014

I have 2 columns of numerical values (A and B).. I want to make a formula that takes the Sum of A/the Sum of B, neglecting the smallest value of A and it's corresponding B value

For example...

19
20

20
20

15
20

Clearly, 15 is the smallest value, and I want to know how I can take the sum of A/sum of B neglecting the 15

Basically, I want the formula to do (19+20)/(20+20)

The actual scenario has a lot more than 3 values, and I don't want to go through all of them (they change frequently)

I know how to make the simple formula..=SUM(A:A)/SUM(B:B), but I do not know how to make excel recognize, and not include the smallest value..

Largest And Smallest Sequences

Jan 12, 2009

I am using excel 2007 and I need help with the following if anyone would be kind enough. I have a dynamic array that consists of stream of 1's and 0's. I want to be able to find the largest sequence of 1's and the smallest sequence of 1's. So at a point in time the array mite be 111110001101111000 and I want to be able to dertermine the longest contiguous sequence of 1's. But as I say the array is dynamic and so I need to do that after each input.

Finding Smallest Value Within A Range

Jun 6, 2014

I currently am working with a worksheet that has over 250,000 data points. It is a spreadsheet for a company in which different work order are organized. A given work order can have several parts (ranging anywhere from one component to 40ish) and thus the height of the cells in which each specific work order is placed differs from work order to work order. For each component, the spreadsheet tells you how many can currently be made based on the materials available. What I would like to do, for each specific work order, is go through the data and simply tell whether or not the work order can be completed (the quantity of each specific component needed is also given in the spreadsheet) and then report out exactly how many components can be made.

Ultimately, this means that a "limiting factor" analysis must be done. For instance, if the work order is asking to create plastic bottles that consist of the bottle, the cap, and the label and it asks for 3 bottles but only 2 caps are able to be made, the limiting factor would be the caps and thus only two bottles could be made and the work order could not be fully completed.

The spreadsheet is set up based on another worker here, I am just trying to come up with a way to analyze it. Cells A1:Axxxxx are the work order numbers and the size of these cells differ because they are merged to fit the number of components they have. The componenets available are then ranged C1:Cxxxxx etc and the quantity needed are also listed in a similar fashion. What sort of structure could I use.

Returning Second Smallest Unique Value

Sep 17, 2009

I'm creating a spreadsheet and have had difficultly creating a function that returns the second smallest unique value.

For example if my data set is:

2, 2, 3, 3, 4, 5, 6

I'd want the function to return "3". I've tried playing around with the SMALL(array, k) function and trying to use a COUNTIF function for "k".

Smallest Value In Range Linked To Another Value.

Mar 17, 2009

D3 = SMALL(H6:H45, COUNTIF(H6:H45,0) +1)

to determine smallest value in range excluding 0 is it possible to link that smallest value to another value like a name?

Eg. H6 = 5 K6 = Ben
H7 = 4 K7 = John
H8 = 9 K8 = Ted
Thefore D3 = John

Sum Of Remainder Or Smallest Number/s

Jul 17, 2012

I want to count the smallest numbers in a range of 10 cells after omitting the 4 largest. I have been using the formula

=SUM(IF(ISNUMBER(LARGE(E5:N5,{1,2,3,4})),LARGE(E5:N5,{1,2,3,4})),D5),

This works perfectly in that in the desired cell it enters the 4 largest numbers and a specified cell. I then want to be able to total the remainder.

I have a large set of numerical data, with each column having a text heading in the first row.

I want to use a function similar to HLOOKUP that can return the numerical value in a certain row of a column that has a specified heading....AND if there is more than one numerical value that meets the criteria, I want it to return the lowest numerical value.

My numerical data cannot be sorted into ascending order.

In column A, I have a list of names.
In column B, I have a list of values.
I want column C to show me which name has the smallest value from column B.
In other words, if there are 5 names, I want ONE name to give me a value of 10 (for the smallest value), and the rest of the names I want to show zero.

I also have in column D another list of values.
In column E, I want to show first, second and third place amongst the list of values from column D. The rest of the names I want to show zero.

The Smallest Value That Is Greater Than Or Equal To

Jan 2, 2009

I am looking for a function like MATCH if the match type were set to -1. However my data is sorted in ascending order. I am mining data from a Pivot Table, and it has dates across the top. Of course the pivot table will have the data sorted in ascending order from left to right. I want to find the first date that is greater than today. With weekends and holidays I can't just use TODAY()+1. Is there a function that can do what I am asking? Also I do not want to change the pivot table itself.

Smallest Number In The Column

Currently we are using the formula below to get an average of column E in a spreadsheet. I was wondering how to modify the formula to get the smallest number in that column rather than the average.

=IF(ISERROR(SUMIFS(E:E,A:A,K2,B:B,K3,C:C,K4,D:D,K5)),"Not Available",AVERAGEIFS(E:E,A:A,K2,B:B,K3,C:C,K4,D:D,K5))

Find Smallest In A List

Mar 8, 2007

I am trying to find the smallest values in a list. that part is easy (use SMALL). But, I want the ref to the cell where that value is in, not the value itself. Additional problem occurs when more than one of these values are the same. Example: A1 = 1; A2 = 3 ; A3 = 2 ; A4 = 2 ; etc. If I want the smallest, I want "A1" as result, for the 2nd smallest I want "A3", for the 3rd smallest I want "A4". So you see that a MATCH formula will not work beceause some of the values are the same.

Index Match Smallest Return?

Jul 1, 2014

I am very competent using the index match formula and have incorporated this into many spreadsheets to auto-fill for avoiding input errors. The objective I am attempting now is to retrieve from a list of 2800 entries the smallest return on an index match formula.

From the data below if my Index Match formula uses C1 to index and match my return is always a7 (-12.7) the first in the list, where my desire is a return of a19 (-14.11). To complex this problem I often have duplicate amounts that need to be listed when they fall into my parameters. I have figured that the Small function allows me to assign first smallest, second smallest, and so forth.

I prefer not to use vlookup for simplicity and error avoidance issues.

a b c
1 amount Reason for Movement 2250
2 -183.252150
3 -366.612150
4 -61.1 2154
5 -91.652150
6 -4.34 2450
7 -12.7 2250
8 -2.98 2250
9 -2.98 2250
10 -69.372452
11 -0.6 2451
