Determine Largest Value
Mar 26, 2009
I'm working with box quantities and would like to get a formula that would take the box quantity and return the largest value based on some parameters. Here are my parameters:
Box Quantity
- 375 pieces
Break down options
2 - 187.5 pieces
3 - 125 pieces
4 - 93.75 pieces
5 - 75 pieces
Obviously options 2 and 4 are no good as I can only work with even break downs. This leaves me with either 3 or 4 and because I want the largest, I would choose number 3. What I need is help on a formula that will take the value of the box quantity and return the largest whole number. I think for the time being I would like to leave the break down between 2 and 5 as well.

I've got four tables with negative and positive values and want to determine the largest magnitude of a subset of four values within those four tables. In other words if the largest magnitude is negative I want the negative value of the four subsets or vise-versa.
I've tried the following but got an error stating it was too long:
= IF(ABS(VLOOKUP(table1)) = MAX(ABS(VLOOKUP(table1)), ABS(VLOOKUP(table2)), ABS(VLOOKUP(table3)), ABS(VLOOKUP(table4))), VLOOKUP(table1), IF(ABS(VLOOKUP(table2)) = MAX(ABS(VLOOKUP(table1)), ABS(VLOOKUP(table2)), ABS(VLOOKUP(table3)), ABS(VLOOKUP(table4))), VLOOKUP(table2), IF(ABS(VLOOKUP(table3)) = MAX(ABS(VLOOKUP(table1)), ABS(VLOOKUP(table2)), ABS(VLOOKUP(table3)), ABS(VLOOKUP(table4))), VLOOKUP(table3), VLOOKUP(table4))))
The repeating line needs attention in my mind:
MAX(ABS(VLOOKUP(table1)), ABS(VLOOKUP(table2)), ABS(VLOOKUP(table3)), ABS(VLOOKUP(table4)))

I have a table showing interest levels in training courses from a group of schools, eg:
English Maths Science
School1 3 4 2
School2 7 1 0
School3 3 2 5
I want to identify the column heading for the first, second and third most popular courses. ie for School1 the most popular course is Maths, second most popular is English and so on.
I have tried using the OFFSET function, which worked if I provided the cell location of the required value. I then looked at the ADDRESS function to provide the cell location: eg For School2 find the 2nd most popular course:
=ADDRESS(ROW(A3),COLUMN(data?)+MATCH(LARGE(B3:B5,2),B3:B5,0)-1)
But I have got stuck with what I should enter for COLUMN(data?) as I do not know in which column the second largest value is.
I am sure Excel has the required functionality.

I have 3 columns. The first has names of students, the second names of their schools, and the third the student's scores. I need to add together the top 4 scores from each school and return them in a table. I have tried combining LARGE and SUMIF but to no avail. Also tried a Pivot table but I cannot get just the top four scores to add.

If TRUE or omitted, an exact or approximate match is returned. If an exact match is not found, the next largest value that is less than lookup_value is returned. But this is not correct as the value I am seeking falls with a range of Min/Max Values therefore the return should be the Next Largest Value
I have values I would like to lookup against a table Min Max values
Col A Min Value 700,000
Col B Max Value 799,999.99
The value being sought is 745,000
I would like the return to be 799,999.99
But currently returning 700,000
Current formula is
=VLOOKUP(G2,tblMaxValues,2,TRUE)
Where G2 is 745,000
tblMaxValues is a list of values for comparison
,2, is the column to be returned

I am trying to write a macro in order to find the largest value in a column in one worksheet, and copy and paste that value into a different workbook. I have found a code similar to what I am looking for and tweaked it, but it needs a few more adjustments. The code below opens the file I want it to, and pastes data into the correct workbook and worksheet, but I would like it to be able to paste in the next empty cell in Row 3, instead of just in the cell "C3". Also i would like for the program to find the largest numeric value in column C, instead of using an if last row statement, as this current program does not always give me the output I am looking for.
VB:
Dim wsMaster As Worksheet, wbDATA As Workbook
Dim NextRow As Long, LastRow As Long
Set wsMaster = ThisWorkbook.Sheets("Contract Metrics")
NextRow = wsMaster.Range("A" & Rows.Count).End(xlUp).Row + 1
[Code] .....

writing a formula to sum the six largest numbers from a row of numbers. I have used the array formula "=SUM(LARGE(E2:M2,{1,2,3,4,5,6}))" and it works for rows that have six or more numbers; however, not all of my rows always have six or more numbers. Rows that have less than six result in "#NUM!".

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.

I have a pivot table that shows values grouped as ranges in the row, Gender as the columns and an average % value in the data.
In a cell outside of the pivot I would like to be able to produce the name of the range that has the largest difference between male and female.

4/1/2007 - 0.044
4/2/2007 - 0.055
I have about 17-18 values for each date between 4/1/2007 and 10/31/2007.

I need to find the largest value within a range that is less than the result of a formula from another set of values.
Something like this:
=MAX(E98:E115) that is <=(P63+((1.5*(P63-P61))))

I have this excel spreadsheet and I need to calculate the biggest gap between the numbers below. (The gap cannot exceed 9 rows)
Example:
8/31/07 - 47.32
9/7/07 - 52.41
9/14/07 - 50.63
9/21/07 - 48.72
9/28/07 - 54
10/5/07 - 51
10/12/07 - 48
10/19/07 - 55
10/26/07 - 58
11/2/07 - 85
11/9/07 - 116
11/16/07 - 127
11/23/07 - 200
11/30/07 - 169
12/7/07 - 156
12/14/07 - 143
12/21/07 - 152
12/28/07 - 160
Biggest gap: 152
I cannot manually do every single row (this excel is gigantic). Isn’t there some excel formula to do this for me automatically?
I tried: =MAX(B1:B18) – MIN(B1:B18). Here I get the biggest gap between B1 (47.32) and B13 (200), but this gap is bigger then 1 month = 9 rows, which it is not allowed to exceed.
I was able to calculate the gap by taking the difference between the MAX(B1:B9) and MIN(B1:B9) and then repeating this one row down at a time ( e.g. B2-B10, B3-B11, B4-B12, etc)
This of course takes up a lot of space but does the job. If a shorter way is possible then please let me know. If not then I only need one thing: I need the chosen rows with the largest gap between its max and min to be automatically highlighted.

In the attached sheet there is a list of horse runs in time order with the latest at the bottom..col C contains the rating for each run. I need a formula to fill down col d and e. Col d is to contain the rating of its previous run and column e the rating of its second last run. for example row 21 ..I have filled in manually Autumn charms last run had a rating of 116 and its second last run was 122..filled in in cell e21. if a horse has not ran(is now shown previously..above in column e..just leave the cols d and e blank...

I've a column that contains numerical values. In my vba code, I have to select a block of cells at a time and get the row which has the maximum value.
One lame approach I am doing is wasting another column that extracts the max from the block of cells using Excel's Max function, and then doing a iterative search in the numerical column to get the cell tht contains the max value, and from it get the row number
Is there a better way such tht i can avoid the looping?
so in a nutshell, i want to get the row number from a range of cells that contains the maximum value

I encounter a problem regarding the coding of a function which is designed to sort the (n by 3) matrix by largest value e.g
transform
CHF EUR 0.923126
CHF USD 0.154571
EUR USD 0.254522
into
CHF EUR 0.923126
EUR USD 0.254522
CHF USD 0.154571
here is my coding:
Function Sorting(vector1 As Variant)
Dim n, k, i, j As Integer
Dim temp As Variant
n = vector1.Rows.Count
Redim temp(1 To n, 1 To 3)
For j = 1 To n
k = n
For i = 1 To n
If (Abs(vector1(j, 3))) > (Abs(vector1(i, 3))) Then
k = k - 1
End If
Next i .................

I have a spreadsheet with items and their maintenance dates. Each item may be listed multiple times with various dates. I want to create a pivot table that will show the most recent and previous maintenance date. The most recent is easy by using the built in "max of" in the Pivot table Wizard.
how to use the "Large" function in a pivot table? or is there a better way to get the 2nd largest value? Auto Merged Post;Bummer! No answers yet. I thought there might be some experts out there that would have a really tricky way of doing this.
" In formulas you create for calculated fields and calculated items, you can use operators and expressions as you do in other worksheet formulas. You can use constants and refer to data from the report, but you cannot use cell references or defined names. You cannot use worksheet functions that require cell references or defined names as arguments, and you cannot use array functions." I think I may end up adding a column to the original spreadsheet to create the 2nd largest value and use it in the pivot table.
