Counting Letters & Returning Greatest Won't Work When There Is A Tie
Apr 16, 2009
I have managed to get a nice array formula to look up count all the Rs As & Gs in some cells and return whichever there are most of (the cells are linked to/fed from another workbook with cells that have either an R, A or G in - nothing else)
And mainly this is working but on one set of cells it returns nothing as there are 2 As and 2 Gs - what is really annoying is that on a set of cells on a another section of the tab there are 5 A's and 5 G's and that returns an A.

I am basically looking for a method to fill in information through VBA in excel into a 2-D grid. Ideally I would like this to work but it does not.

I am using the formula: LOOKUP(A1,{"S","M","L","XL"},{"S","M","L","XL"}) on a cell containing: EF-2147.(S) so that it will return a S [or M, L etc. if it were .(M),.(L)] but it just keeps returning #N/A. I tried putting in "(S)" etc. in the lookup formula but it then started returning the wrong letters.

If I have two columns of data, and I want to count the numbers of times a certain letter appears in column A and another certain value appears in column B, I use the following formula:
=sumproduct((AA="yes")*(BB:="X"))
What formula would I use to count the number of times "yes" appears in column A, AND EITHER "X", "Y", or "Z" appear in column B?
Would this still be a SUMPRODUCT formula, or would a cOUNTIF formula be used?
How about counting the times certain letters appear in THREE columns?

I want my worksheet to search a column for a specific date (3-Dec-2008, for example) and count cells containing only that specific date. If it finds the date, I want it to count them.
However, if that particular date doesn't appear in the column, it returns 0. I want the cell to return blank. Basically, instead of giving me 0, I want it to return empty. I've tried IF statements, COUNTIF statements, combinations of IF/COUNTIF statements.

I'm using the following to return the previous TUESDAY in my Event Date cell F43
=$F$43-WEEKDAY($F$43+4)
It works great but if my event date is a Wednesday I need to return the Tuesday in the week prior not in the Tuesday immediately prior.
That is, If the event falls on Wed 22 May 2013 the cell needs to return Tuesday 14 May 2013 not Tuesday 21 May.

I am trying to find the formula to find the greatest number/date etc in a column, I'm not sure which one I should be using?
For example I have a list of dates in Column B and I want in cell A1 to show the latest date in that column, so if the dates are
21/12/2008
05/02/2009
it would show 05/02/2009 in cell A1.

I have a set series of numbers as follows:

7536-0130
7538-0131
7535-0128
7536-0126
[Code] ....
I would like to disregard the digits before the hyphen (not always four digits) and check only the values of the last set of digits (also not always 4 digits). I would like to search for the greatest suffix used to find the next available number. In my data above the result would be 132.

I have two columns of data, in another column I have the difference between these two columns, now I want to show the difference as a percentage. Assume cell A is 0.02 and cell B is 0.03 the difference is 0.01 and the percentage of the difference would be 33% or 0.01/0.03, my problem is when cell A is 0.04 and cell B is 0.01 the same formula wouldn’t work in both cases since in the first A<B and the second A>B is there a way that I can take the difference and divide it by the greater of A and B without having to do it manually?

In the first picture the Pivot Table is showing the profit of each city in 2010 and 2012. Where I used Sort & Filter Largest to smallest, in order to display the cities with greatest profit.
Prosent.png
But when I switch the values to `% of` year (Previous). I get the change from 2010 to 2012 in percentage. But my PROBLEM is when I want to Sort & Filter from Largest to Smallest, cause I want to show the cities that have had the greatest percentage change from 2010 to 2012. But the I only get the same cities, and when I look at ex. 'Gjovik' is has had a 125 % in change and should be in the top.
So how am I able to Sort & Filter from Largest to Smallest the cities with greatest change in percentage?

I'm trying to use vlookup function in table 2 referencing table 1 using the approximate parameter. However, an approximate vlookup value is by definition the closest *least* value. Is there a trigger of some sort to locate the closest *greatest* value as well?
For instance, if the lookup_value in table 2 is 2.450 but the referenced table 1 only has 2.445 and 2.475, I will only retrieve the respective value related to 2.445 -- how would I retrieve the other value at 2.475?
Essentially, if a lookup_value rests in between two values of whatever is being referenced, I am trying to average those two closest numbers. Is there a function I've overlooked that may help with this?

Is there a VBA command to get the letters, instead of the numbers, of the column of a selected cell?
I have to letter a list whihc means setting up a loop using character codes.
I may have to go into double letters so I am working on how I would set up the loop for if and when it gets past 90 and starts on double letters. so far the highest is the letter "U"
of course the easiest would be to pick up a column value as a letter
NT values do not get a number
A_____ _____NT###
B_____1_______C####
C_____2_______RMK###
D____ _______NT####
i am guessing the loop might involve some arithmetic test between the count and the character set 65-90. or maybe a mod thing.

i need to work out a formula for my spreadsheet which I use to work out cutting lists for timber frames. I need it to work out if the width of a job is for eg 2400mm i need to work out how many timber studs I need so the space between each stud is between 400mm and 500mm and this will need to work for a range of different sizes of frames. I have it written at the moment and it just devides the width by 400 and gives me a amount of studs but it would work much better if it could space them between 400 & 500.

I cannot get various formulas (Countif, Match, Frequency, Etc) to work properly.
I am trying to arrive at a total number of matches of numbers in cell range B1:G1 with any numbers entered into the cell range of K1:P11 and have the total of matches display in cell H1.
However I do not want to count duplicate numbers from the K1:P11 cells. (if the number 5 in posted in K1:P11 multiple times I only need it reported once in H1)
B1:G1 is the constant and the numbers will not change - K1:P11 cells will be populated by adding numbers until the all the numbers in B1:G1 is completed and match.
Range
B1 C1 D1 E1 F1 G1
2 7 19 45 22 13
H1 Total of matching numbers in cell range K1:P11
