Creating An Ordered (ranked) List Within A Single Cell
Mar 22, 2007
I'd like to create, in a single cell, what we call a "geochemical signature".
I have data that looks like this....
AreaID, Cu, Au, Pb, Zn, Sb
2, 5.1, .1, 0, 2.2, .2
3, 0, 0, .1, .2, 0
And I'd like to add a column onto the end of the table that returns a value like this...
AreaID, Cu, Au, Pb, Zn, Sb, Signature
2, 5.1, .1, 0, 2.2, .2, Cu Zn (Sb Au)
3, 0, 0, .1, .2, 0, (Zn Pb)
Such that a single cell has an ordered (ranked) list of the elements that relate to that AreaID. Also, any element with a value < 1 is returned in brackets, and elements that have a value of 0 are ignored.

This is a spreadsheet I'm using for my fantasy basketball draft that by adding information into table C3:N15 will populate stats into team sheets and output average stats into table D20:L31 and then create a rotisserie style scoring table outputted into B36:M47.
What I want to do (and have tried to do in table B51:M62) is output this to create a sorted ranked by Approx Score without using macros or VBA. I also want to do this using Excel 2003 rather than 07 (I'd love to take advantage of the AVERAGEIF function but i figure compatibility is my first concern).
The issue I have run into is that tie scores are going to make it difficult, and utilizing a table w/ summed ranked will lend itself to that happening...a lot. How can I solve this?

I typically use the following formula to create a list with no blanks, when I have a single column of data. Is there a way to do the same thing when you have multiple columns of data (side by side to make it simple) and you want to create a master list that gets rid of the blanks, and keeps them in the order they appear (by column)?
[Code] .....
For example, if I had data (with some blank cells randomly placed) in columns AM and AN, and I wanted a singe master list in one column of all non-blank cells in column AL, followed by column AM, etc.? Is there a formula to do this, or must I resort to a macro?

i need to create an user form that creates an ordered list when an input for the starting number, the ending number, and the increment is entered by the user. the ordered list must also start in the specified cell that is entered by the user. i understand how to design the user form but the coding necessary for making the macro baffles me.

I have a list of 9 values ranging from 1 to 9 generated by formulas in column A. they can only be "1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8, or 9" and can be repetitive. Is there a formula i can use (not macro please) that will show me what values are missing from the list?
Example
A B
1
4
5
1
2
1

I've created a Excel spreadsheet. In the Spreadsheet I've got one worksheet which has columns and list of codes.
I would like my other worksheet to look through find any products I've ordered and list them with their codes and quantities, creating a summary of just what I want so that I can e-mail just the important bits.

I had some number combinations as this 5-23-34-233, 50-233-34-45, 34-5-23-45-67. The length can be variable in column A.
I want a formula which should return array of numbers of each cell in column A. So if A1 has 5-23-34-233 so the formula should return array like {5,23,34,233} and like wise.

In my business I deal with a ton of different dimensions for my products. A lot of times the dimension will be within the cell as follows, "Product A 17x27 Brown", is in a single cell.
Is it even possible to write a code or formula that will find the "17x27" in the description, recognize it as a "dimension" and then run the formula that I need which is

Is there a way to create a drop down list from a comma delimited list in a single cell? For example, col A is Name & Col B is the delimited list - Blue,Red,Green (list can be different for each name). Would like a drop down list in col C that allows you to pick one of the values from Col B.

First, I have read through the board, and I was not able to find a solution already posted. I apologize if in fact this is a duplicate.
Second, I am comfortable with dynamic lists, dynamic ranges, chained validation lists, etc: so I am pretty sure my question is not a repeat of the other recent validation list questions.
Therefore:
Is it possible to generate a validation list from a single cell with a comma separated list?
For example, if I have “Fresh, Cool, Hot, Neutral, Smooth” in given cell, can I then have those 5 items appear as separate choices in a validation list?
I have tried every combination I could think of using arrays, named lists, the INDIRECT function, etc. I cannot seem to get it to recognize them as separate items. For the moment, I have created a bad (too long/complex) workaround where formulas are used to pull out each of the 5 strings into individual cells.

When I enter a value for 'Number of Steps' from a drop down a table is generated with the x values changing accordingly.
For example:
Number of Steps 5
x x^2
------------
0 0
1 1
2 4
3 9
4 16
Number of Steps 9
x x^2
------------
0 0
0.5 0.25
1 1
1.5 2.25
2 4
2.5 6.25
3 9
3.5 12.25
4 16
You will notice that the number of steps is the number of x values that take us up to 4. The 4 is fixed. I would be able to work out the maths myself as I am a maths teacher but I was wondering how I could autopopulate the table based on a drop down box selection. If it involves going into VBA then don't worry my son needs to get to grips with what I have done.
Edit. The formatting does not seem to work above. On the left of each table is supposed to be the x value and on the right is x^2.

How to have a validation list (drop-down) from a single-cell in which values are separated by a comma.
Example I have.
I have a wine list which have many categories of which
COL A / COL B / COL C
Wine Name / Wine Producer / Vintage
I wrote a VBA code to look-up duplicates names and give the producers that make them. The names of the producers will be in an invis cell as Comma Separated Values.
For example: Wine 11 is made by producer X and Wine 11 is made by producer Y. I will have X,Y in a cell which need to be in a drop-down menu when Wine 11 is selected.
I got everything done. The only issue is to get the list. The problem is that the drop-down list shows X,Y as a single component and not as 2 drop-down components. If i were to write down X,Y in the validation list tab, it will show it as 2 components but referring to the cell doesn't.

I have a cell in my spreadsheet that I use to control the size of a column. I formatted the cell as a number and added data validation to make sure the number is greater than zero. Then I realized that I need to also allow for the option of auto sizing the column as well. This would require a data validation list type with something like True and False for the choices.
What I want to be able to do is have it both ways. I want a drop down list in that cell with the options Auto Size or Custom. If Auto Size is selected the cell value gets set to that. If Custom is selected I then want to be able to type in a number.

Is there a way to setup a cell such that the value is either an item from the drop down list or, entered directly (depending on the list selection)?
I know I can do it with dependent lists but that would require two cells, one for the auto size mode (true/false) and the other for manual width value.

I have a My.xlsx file that has data for single month and I want to make a single file in which I can have contents for whole year by copying this file 11 more times in the same excel work book. Finally I would have 12 sheet in a single workbook.
E.g. Jan-14, Feb-14, .... ,Dec-14
I don't need any calender data just 11 more copies of my original sheet in a single work book.

I would like to create Bill of material from single table. I need to select multiple parameters, to expend it till the lowest level, so I will try to explain:
I have one table (ODBC) and there's all data we need. Parent number col A, Item number col B and quantity col C. First level I select main Item number A1234 (this is only thing that I should choose, everything else should be automatically), I get table with all items that are parent A1234 (let's say 10 items). Now I need to look again one level lower in same table for items that have Parent item in list of those 10 items listed earlier (let's say 30 items) and multiply their quantities with quantity of their Parent Item (total qty could be in column D). Then one level lower for items with parent items in those 30 and so on and so on. So when I choose main Item I would like to get table like below (take notice that real table has over a 100.000 items, but I want to show only Bill of material for the main item till the lowest level).
Parent Item
Item
QTY
Total QTY
A1234
B1111
5

I'm flexible and ok to use VBA, SQL, Excel functions, multiple tables (how to select multiple parameters??)

I'm creating a spreadsheet to keep track of my costs of production in an online game. Within the game there are a range of spawned resources that appear for only a short time before being unobtainable these resources have specific types that is shared between multiple spawns of the resource but each resource spawn has a unique name.
My first worksheet lists all the resources and their various qualities and the later worksheets are meant to allow me to choose from a list resources matching the requirements of the item I'm looking to craft. The example i have shown in the second picture requires Tatooinian Fiberplast and Lokian Wild Wheat to craft so in the Chosen Resource column I would like to have a drop down list allowing me to select the named resource type i would like to use - for Tatooinian Fiberplast the only thing on the list should be Omnitwixi and for the Wild Wheat it should show Fizi and Krad

I would like to be able to compare the "standards" in Column A with the Assessment status in Column B and the Assessment period in Column C in order to generate a compact list in another workbook (ideally) or tab (if not). A list might typically contain all the standards that have been M (mastered) during a given Assessment period. I realize that filters would achieve this to a large extent but I was hoping to automatically populate another worksheet or tab.

I am looking for a Macro that would randomly select 20 items from my inventory list for performing spot checks. Column F of Active Coil Log tab is where the data would need to pull from, however I would like all data in the row to go along with it. I've explored the RAND functions, but they don't seem to be the right fit .

Our Favorite Gifts.xlsx
This is a simplification of what I really need. But say I have 5 people, and I have 5 gifts (A-E) Each person is in order by who gets first choice, second, etc. And each person has indicated from 1 - 5 which gift they like best. 1=most favorite 5=least favorite
I'm trying to create formulas to show who gets what. My actual spreadsheet has more people/items but is virtually the same thing.
In the attached example,the first person, Bill, gets first choice, then Mary, then Karl etc.
Bill would get Gift C. Mary would get gift A Karl would get Gift D because gift C and A are already taken.
The spreadsheet itself could be done differently if there's a easier/better way to get the data.

1) List of 500 employees, each allocated an account number where the payroll should be applied, in cells N1 through to N500.
2) Account numbers contain many uniques, ie employees within same department / function
3) require a list of unique account numbers, ranked in ascending order with the budget value, in rows O510 through to Oxxx (depending on how many unique account numbers exist)
4) this happens for 4 companies over 20 spreadsheet tabs for each company for each type of employment cost (each tab has different account numbers)
I know I can do this by manually copying the account numbers to another tab, sort them, remove uniques and then copy the result back o the summary area, for sumif formula, but was hoping for something a little more 'automatic', as these spreadsheets will be provided to payroll staff in each company for completion.

I have 3 columns, A B C: Distribution Center, Sales, and Top Ranked. What I am trying to get is a Rank function in the Top Ranked column that looks for the highest value in the Sales column, but returns the Distribution Center associated with this Sales value instead of the actual value. I could get this done with some helper columns and a VLOOKUP, but the report is rather large and the VLOOKUP not only slows it down but also pushes the file size over the limit. Also, I will be using this for metrics other than Sales where I'll be looking for the highest and lowest figures, so if a Max or Min function works better, that would be fine. I just haven't been able to figure out how to have it return the associated data instead of the ranked data.

I am trying to rank a series of data. I have most of this figured out. However, the data that is being ranked is based on a sum of a range of cells. I have lines that are waiting for new information to be put in related to the values to be ranked and the value is reference a sum of blank cells currently since there is no data there and it is showing up as zero and therefore being ranked number 1 in my list. I basically want the ranking to rank the values 1-11 while putting all values that are zero to be put at the bottom of the ranking. Any way to do this without macros. I have been using the VLOOKUP and RANK functions for my ranking purposes.
I have tried using an if statement that made the cells #N/A if they were zero, however they remained at the top of my ranking.

I am looking to create a table with ranked projects from a different tab that is able to pull data from the same tab and change based on value updates. It is difficult to explain, so I have attached the file below.
What I am looking to do is pull the ranked projects from tab #7 - Scoring to tab #5 - Final list. Each project has a unique ID#, but a lot of the columns I need populated are not unique. I tried using a combination of arrays, but it always returned a #value into the cells.
P.s: In tab #5 - Data sheet, the formulas in I5 and P5 work, but are pretty ridiculous, and I'm pretty sure there must be an easier way. I was looking up values from the 8-budget tab to try and determine which group column H values were from. The only complication I was having was that a project can be allocated to either a functional unit, or group so I need to have the "group" total as independent, not just as a sum of the functional unit totals. Like I said, these formulas work,

The document shows a table on the left that puts the data from the table on the right into order by total (and if same, alphebetical by name). However the formula used to achive this is not compatable with previous versions of excel. Need alternative function that will bring the same outcome but work with pre 2007 versions (ie .xls file extention).

I have a large Item sheet that also functions as an order sheet so I want another sheet to return only items actually ordered. What is the correct vlookup formula for this situation?
in sheet #1, Column A has the number of orders needed (to be filled in), column B has the name of the product, column C has the price of the product. I want to look through column A after it is filled in and return the value of all three columns only if column A has a value larger than 0 into sheet #2 in the same workbook.
