AverageIf - Finding Similar Text

Sep 26, 2007

I've searched around the web for AverageIf solutions and found the CSE formulas. However I've come across a big problem I can't resolve.

I have two columns of data. Column A has _similar_ text and column B has data.

The problem is the following: AverageIf does not support finding similar text. This means that a formula like:
=AVERAGE(IF(A2:A400="Info/German*";F2:F200;FALSE)) does not work.

Column A contains words like Info/German, Info/German2, Info/Italian etc. But I only need to find the average of cells that begin with "Info/German".

Formula To Find Data And Return Other Column Value (similar To VLookup)

Jul 7, 2014

Sheet 1
Sheet 2
UPC
Sku

[Code].....

I would like to find the value from Sheet2 Column1 in sheet1 Column1 and return value from Sheet1 Column2 and Column3 into Sheet2 Column2 and Column3

And if it doesn't find anything just return Not Found

The problem that a Vlookup is not working for me is because I want it to be the exact text from sheet2 column1 but in sheet1 column 1 it should not be exact as it might have some extra text as seen in the illustration above

Compare Multiple Text Cells To One String Of Text And Return Specified Value

May 12, 2012

I have a dataset of shifts and want to compare each shift that needs to be filled to a list of requests for time off (vacation, etc).

For one cell the code is: =IF(ISERROR(SEARCH(B1, A1), 0,1)

Where A1 is the column of requests in comma delimited forme (ie: "AB,CD,EF").

Where B1 is the column containing the person assigned to shift 1 (ie: "AB")

In this case, would return a "1" as no error was returned, as AB was found in the list. Here "1" would represent a schedule conflict.

Without creating many cells for each shift- there are 20 shifts- can I create an array or string together this type of "SEARCH" function?

Compare Column B With All Rows In Column A If Match Place In Column C?

Aug 13, 2014

I want to compare two columns. I would like to see if the contents of column B appear anywhere in column A, for any amount of rows, and if it does, to place the match in col C.

So in the example below, red in B1 would be checked in A1 through A1000 or however long A is. When any row has red, place that match in that row for C.

This would be repeated until all rows in B are complete.

Example
Col A: red
Col B: red
Col C: red

Col A: red
Col B: blue
Col C: not found

Compare Text Between Cells

Oct 1, 2009

I've got a very big spreadsheet with over 40,000 lines.

The text is sorted alphabetically, and on its side I'd like to have a column displaying how different it is from the cell above.

Example:
A1 - Mediterranean Sea. -----
A2 - Mediterranean Ses. ----- 5.55%
A3 - Atlantic Ocean. ----- 100%

Basically, 'Atlantic Ocean' is 100% different from the cell above, but A2 has only one letter different (out of 18, including the space and the dot) compared with A1, so it's only 5.55% different.

This would help me find which cells that are supposed to have the same content, have errors and thus are slightly different.

Text Compare Function

Jun 7, 2006

I think there's a function that compares two text values and determines if
they are "similar." For instance ABC would be considered a match with ZABC.

Is anyone familiar with this function?

Compare And Search Columns For Text?

Apr 14, 2009

I recently posted a similar thread which was very well supported but I couldn’t get a solution because my requirements were not clear enough. I would like to try again with a slightly easier and clearer requirement.

I would like a spreadsheet that compares and searches columns for text and returns true if a duplicate is found.

It is similar to a lottery checker except the lines being checked could be a string instead of a single character.

I have attached a spreadsheet which helps explain what I’m trying to achieve.

Basically, a user can sequentially enter a single character to cells F1:F5. These values are then compared to columns A:C. If one of the columns contain the values in column F then return true to G1.

Search Compare Text In Two Cells

May 25, 2007

I have one sheet and i want to compare the first word in the column "D". If the first word of D2, is the same than the first word of D3, i want to copy to another sheet and after the copy, insert 2 blank rows... if it's different, i want to copy and insert 3 blank rows

Maybe it's better to attach the file. In the first sheet, you'll see a little part of the real sheet, and the second sheet is the example of what results i want to obtain with code...

Sumif (compare Column A On Tab 2 With Column A On Tab 1)

Jan 27, 2009

I have a spreadsheet that lists something like this (an easy version of it anyway!)

On tab 1 of my spreadsheet I have a table with lots of data similar to:

Column A Column B
111 12.23
111 14.32
222 48.23
222 28.34
222 10.23
222 33.40
333 23.21

On tab 2 of my spreadsheet I have unique versions of the data Column A on tab 1, for instance:

Column A
111
222
333

I would like to have a formula on tab 2 that can compare column A on tab 2 with column A on tab 1 - if it is similar I want it to total the amounts for all of the values equal.

So for instance, on tab 2 the final data should be this in my example:

Column A Column B
111 26.55
222 120.20
333 23.21

I've seen formulas that are similar.. but the condition is it can only total the rows that match. And preferably can do this from the other sheet.
