I have been trying to adapt a couple of the posts I've seen on this topic but they seem to refer to counting in rows and I'm having trouble translating that to columns.
I have a simple situation. I have 1s or 0s in columns from left to right. I only want to count the first occurrence of consecutive "1"s and only if the series starts with "1" in the left most column. (I am trying to calculate consecutive years of giving and the columns are FY14, FY13, FY12, etc. Only people who gave in FY14 would count.)
Example:
Row 2: 11101010 Row 3: 11001011 Row 4: 00100110
I would like Row 2 to count "3", Row 3 to count "2" and Row 4 to count "0".
I'm trying to compare values in 2 separate columns to see how many times the same value appears in both columns. Ideally I would be able to insert a range function to compare the values in the column "ID 1" against the values in column "ID 2" and return the count of times that a value appears in both columns. For example 2122, 1112 and 1718 appear in both columns and I would like the formula to return a count of 3.
In my actual project I'm comparing 2 columns in the same worksheet. The column are column B with data in cells B2:B10266 against column C with data in cells C2:C18560.
I am trying to count how many times a certain value appears in a column. For example how mnay times A81001 appears in column A and compare with column B. I suppose it's Count function?
column A column B A81001A81001 A81001A81001 A81002A81002 A81002A81002 A81002A81002 A81002A81002 A81002A81002 A81003A81003 A81003A81003 A81003A81004 A81004A81004 A81004A81004 A81004A81004 A81004A81005
I have excel sheets with 71936 rows of data collected ~30 times a second for 40 minutes during and driving simulator drive (for 51 participants! all in separate worksheets). The output I get from the simulator includes speed, lane position etc. I've been averaging the data out into minute blocks for most variables, but what I really need to know is: if they exit the "lane" for more than 3 seconds, and if so, how many times they exit the lane in each minute.
Column A is the minute, column B is their lane position. Lane position ranges from -540 to 540. The middle of the left hand lane is -180 (the left hand lane ranges from -360 to 0 - we drive on the left in Australia). If they exit the left hand side of the lane, the lane position value will be between -360 and-540, and if they exit the right hand side the lane position value is 0 or greater.
A formula in a new column that can give a "1" each time they exit the lane for more than 3 seconds would be great, then I think I can make it sum how many times they do it in each minute.
I have read every single question on counting consecutive numbers in this forum but could not find what I need. I am trying to count the number of consecutive zeros in a row till the cell >0 then the counter is reset and restarts. One point to pay attention is that the number that is>0 when counting starts is included. I wrote a macro for it but somehow I am having problems with it. It returns 0. I want it to be for example
In the excel sheet Numbers 160 0 0 400 0 0 200 0 Counts 3 3 2
Sub value_count() Dim count As Integer Dim k As Integer Dim j As Integer For k = 1 To 10 If Cells(1, k).Value > 0 Then j = k Do Until Cells(1, j).Value <> Cells(1, j + 1).Value count = count + 1 j = j + 1 Loop Cells(2, j).Value = count If count >= 1 Then k = k + count End If count = 0 End If Next k End Sub
In cells v43:v52 I have data which will change often the data is always either a 1,-1 or a 0, I need a way to count from the bottom up and ignore anything that is not part of the chain. It can also contain 0 in rows that are not populated yet but the 0s will always be on the bottom and never in the middle or top.
I.E. in 3 weeks it could be
1 1 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0
I would want the formula to spit out 3 because it was 1 3 times in a row..
Now say in week 5 it is 1 1 1..............................
My goal is to look at a column of numbers and count the number of consecutive cells that are positive (or negative), while ignoring blank cells that may be in between them. Using the first formula on this thread. http://www.excelforum.com/excel-gene...-than-0-a.html
I was able to adapt it to my own data, but whenever I had blank cells in my data the results were not reliable. the formula i am using now is =IF(COUNT(1/((A1:A27<0)*(A2:A28<0))),MAX(FREQUENCY(IF((A1:A27<0)*(A2:A28<0),ROW(A2:A28)),IF((A1:A27<0)*(A2:A28>= 0),ROW(A1:A27))))+1,0). for a bunch of data in column A. With limited knowledge of excel I'm not exactly sure how this formula works, so I'm not sure how to tell it to ignore all blank cells. I attached an example that shows how it fails with the blank cells
I want to count the number of consecutive text entries in the one column. Skip a certain entry eg: NA, then count the next string of the same entry. eg:
Apples Apples Apples Apples NA NA NA Apples Apples Apples NA
So the output that I am after will be counting the number of Apples in a row 4 & 3 but skipping NA.
I have two columns of data: 1 column can be possibly anything, either numeric, alphanumeric, or alpha only (VINS or vehicle numbers). The adjacent column are four different types of vehicles. I've tried concatentating the two to try and count the unique combinations (a truck maybe used more than once during the day), which I can get unique values, but not unique values for each type. Also, the range sizes are variable, but no more that 65 rows.
An example:
5CZ975 Van 25RW04 Straight 5CZ975 Van ZJ6026 Van
So, the result I am after is 2 vans, 1 straight truck
I found an array in a another post, but it is not working properly (see cell F7 in the attached):
I'm trying to do is to get Excel to look at the dates and, if they are consecutive (Fri - Mon inclusive is also counted as consecutive) I need Excel to tell me that this is one occasion. It then needs to count each seperate occasion.
I've attached an example with each different occasion colour coded. In the example there a five occasions. Thus the Bradford Factor would be 187.5 (5*5*7.5).
I'm trying to find a way to take a data set and write an excel equation/s to find out how many times in that column of data a certain result (number or letter) occurs consecutively for more than 5 (hoping that this is also customizable) times. For example....
DATE USER A 1/1/2013 NO
[Code]....
Above are two columns, one with the date and another with the data I'd like to search through. So I'm hoping that I can write an equation/s that tells me how many times a certain value, in this case I'm looking for "No" occurs more than 5 times consecutively in the line of data. For example, for this particular data set, the final answer would be 2. There are only two instances where 5 or more cells with a "No" value follow each other.
I have several columns in an excel sheet which contain values (eg. Names). The entered names can be unique or already exist in the column. I need to find out (using a function or macro) how many different names were entered. Duplicates shshould be ignored in the count.
Say the Range is (D3:M3) there is data in D3,F3,J3,K3,L3, and M3. I want to count consecutive cells with data from M3 backwards to D3. In this scenario the sum would be 4.
I wanted to count the number of instances that Matt's been late. If there are consecutive timestamps (ex. 600-620, 620-640) that he's been late, I wanted Excel to display 1 and then I'll just sum it up. Or if Excel can do this directly, add all the instances because what I actually need is the total per person.
In this example, I would need a result of 4 instances.
tell if the blank cells will affect the formula or if I still need to do something about them.
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.
I have 10 columns (A-J). Column B is the Date & Column C is the Time, I have the data sorted 1st by date then by time. The 5th Column, E, is Size. The 10th column, J, is "Position."
This 10th column, J, is in binary format. A 1 equals a Position & a 0 equals no Position.
1) I need to find the Max Sum of the Size in which the Max consecutive set of 1s has occurred.
2) I need to also do this on a day by day basis, using the Date in Column B, without having to manually go through & modify all the formulas to reference the date.
I have a Sumif formula for the 2nd but it won't copy down to update the formula for each unique date. I have to manually change the date values & I have ~957 unique dates to do; so it would be a rather painstaking process if only done manually. Moreover, it doesn't count the Max Sum of all consecutive 1s in Column J...
The length of the non unique columns (all columns w/o unselecting the duplicate entries) is 19,068.
If you can be of help, I'd be very thankful...my brain is overloaded w/googling & using trial & error.
If I have columns A B C D E how do I copy A and C only (at the same time) and paste them into a new workbook? I get a popup saying it's not possible.
I don't want to copy one column at a time in case I make a mistake and item 1 in column A no longer lines up with item 1 in column C (I'll be performing this at least daily and the results will go on a website)
I have to work with a report where columns are sometimes added or removed. However, the columns I need are always there, just not always at the same place. To identify them, I have my macro search for their title (they never change) and enter the column number in a variable (iSID, iPID, iEPN, iEPT, and iOD).
I now need to take these five columns and copy them into another workbook. Usually, I would use something like Range("A:A":"D:D":etc). but now I'm a bit stuck. I wanted to use something like Range(Columns(iSID), Columns(iPID), etc), but I can't seem to be able to write that correctly or something (I get errors like "wrong number of arguments or invalid property assignment"). I guess I could copy the columns one by one using Columns(iSID), but I was wondering if there wouldn't be a more elegant way to do that.
I need an equation that will return a 1 in column F if data is available (cell is populated) in 2013 or last two years (2012 & 2013) or last three years (2011 & 2012 & 2013) or last four years or last five years. A zero counts as data.
I have data in 3 different columns (A, C, and E) to name a few. I want to average each of these columns, but if any of them include zero values, I want to exclude that from my calculation.
Example:
Column A = 10 Column B = 0 Column C = 3
Right now, my "average" formula, is showing the average as 4.33. (average a5, b5, c5)
The real average I'm looking for is 6.5. What is the best way to setup my formula?
I have a worksheet with a series of data in rows. Every 40th row is a sum of the previous forty rows.
I have a second worksheet that in a series of columns uses the 40th row sums from the other sheet. So column 1 uses row 40, column 2 uses row 80 data, etc.
Every time I update this, I create the new column using a copy and insert copied cells and then have to go to each field on the new column that uses this other worksheet to correctly update the formula for the new row. As when I do it this way, if Column 1 cell a1 formula said "worksheet2!A40, then the new column 2 cell b1 says "worksheet2!B40, where I want to make it be worksheet2!A80. I have tried highlighting a series of these corrected columns and dragging the formula over but still get a change in columns vs row from the other sheet.
I am looking to see if there is a way to do something like (in layman's expression):
I have a table where I need to make a drop down list in two consecutive columns (G and H). The list in column H will depend on the Option chosen in Column H.
Column G Compensation
Payroll
Column H COMPENSATION
Savings Box
Update Information General PAYROLL
Payment Inquiry Update Information Severance Pay
As shown above If you select Compensation in G you will have those three options in column H and the same for Payroll.
