I have three columns of data in columns A,B,C - there are formulas in these columns that either produce a numeric value or return blank.
I have created Dynamic Named Ranges for each of them and have entered the following formula:
=OFFSET(Working!$A$1,1,0,MATCH(1E+305,Working!$A:$A,1))
My issue is that this formula is looking one row past the last numeric entry in the column (a blank) which is leaving a blank space when I graph this data.
Is it possible to nest the two functions of match & offset. I am working with two worksheets. One is a constant the other is building. I want to match a text from the first spreadsheet in the second sheet (otherwords I want to find that exact within the other spreadsheet) then I want to retreive the offset value to the right of the matched cell and place it in the constant worksheet where the formula is.
For Example
Sheet 1 Sheet2
Company: First Name: Company: Name: Adamack's ? Adamack's Patrick
So if I put the formula where the ? mark is, I want to match the first company name on sheet 1, from the range in sheet 2, then I want to get the offset from that match 0,1 to give me the name patrick.
I am in the process of setting up some graphs. The graphs will show the last 6 months of data so they move as each month is goes. I saw a slick way of doing this using the count function but this did not quite fulfill my needs. What I was looking for is to be able to input the start month in a cell. The cell would be part of the function within the formula. I created a simplified version of the spreadsheet below.

Then I created my names using the ctrl-F3

I then created the graph I wanted and wanted to use the formula =SERIES(Sheet1!$B$3,!chtCat,!chtIssuesReported,1). This kept getting an error indicated nothing really. It basically says there is something wrong with my Series function. I have a working version of a similiar worksheet I have been basing my entries on. They look almost identical but mine is failing. I also created a new file and tried this and it still fails. I can run the formula evaluator within Excel 2010 against the !chtCat and !chtIssuesReported names and they both return the correct value (which equals areas on the spreadsheet). I have also tried to enter the spreadsheet name and a tab in front of the names to get them to work and still get an error. Basicall I am trying to create the graph below (this grpah is using the hard coded locations)
As far as I can tell, the formula works just fine. If you look in the Name Manager and check on that Name, the highlighted box shows up exactly what it should and if you do a simple MAX test, it displays the correct MAX value from that range.
The problem comes in when I try and add it to a chart. Instead of a displaying all the values in the range, it displays nothing. Doesn't flag up any errors, just nothing.
The reason I chose to do it this way is that the table contents could change on a daily basis and so could the position of the row and I don't want to have to keep changing the references in the graph so make sure the right data is being displayed. Is it just that charts don't play well with the INDIRECT function?
I use the standard OFFSET-COUNT-MATCH method to create dynamic named ranges in my Excel projects. Needless to say, this method won't work on a spreadsheet with formulas extending beyond the current range. The count function counts the cells containing formulas, even though they may contain no data. Does anyone know how to construct a formula that will IGNORE the "formula only" cells??
I know how to create a dynamic named range so that no blanks appear in my data validation list but have only ever done this for a list in a column, i.e...
I have a data set that alters each week which means at the moment I have to update the ranges manually each time. I would like to use a dynamic range and think I need to use the Offset and CountIf functions. Both the start and end of the ranges are dynamic. The range is based on grouping the numbers in Column E (LocNo)
What I would like to do or think the way to achieve this is by:
First looking at Column E
Count how many cells are equal to criteria. (CountIf)
offset 5 columns left from the first cell that meets the criteria (Offset -5)
offset X rows down based on how many cells meet the criteria (Offset X)
I've include a spreadsheet spread sheet which 'should' help illustrate the problem showing the ranges I would like and how the data changes each week.
When I make a dynamic named range, I typically do something like:
=offset($A$1,,,counta(A:A),counta(1:1))
I remember awhile ago I saw (within some of the comments on Jon Peltier's site, I believe) a way to make a dynamic named range without using offset. Does anyone know how to do it?
I want to use a dynamic range in order to use this formula below in column A as long as there is something entered in column H = SUMIF($N:$N,A5,$I:$I). any ideas on syntax and will this be using the offset function within excel. I know I have posted a couple times about getting this formula to replicate itself down certain columns as long as someone enters text in another. I looked into the offset reply information somone posted but it seemed a little over my head.
I have a worksheet where the number of rows will change on a weekly basis and I would like to print the sheet out without having to change the print range every week.
I have tried to use the OFFSET function in the print range in print setup but once this has been entered and printed, it changes to the actual print range the OFFSET returns.
I have a problem with an offset match function. What I want to do is look at the value in cell C3 and then match it to a location in a named range and then return the value 8 rows above. The problem is the named range contains non contiguous cells i.e. D10:AE10, D22:AE22, D34:AE34. So if the value appeared in the area D10:AE10 it would return the value in the matching column row 2. How to do this I have tried lots of combinations but they just come out #N/A.
I'm working in Excel 2010. I'm trying to create a dynamic range, using the OFFSET function. I've got it working beautifully but as soon as I save it and close the Name Manager the range stops working. When I go back into Name Manager I find all the cell references have changed (from C1:C600 to C1048572:C595 - or some other strange range).
P.S. What it's doing isn't so important as when the cell references are right it works. But just for full info: It's an OFFSET function, starting at A1. It will look at a list of companies and use a Match function to find out how many rows to offset (based on where the first instance of a particular company. And it uses the COUNTIF to make the range the same number of rows as there are entries for that company.
I roughly know what my equation should look like, but it keeps failing. Its all part of a wider spreadsheet but I will only put down that bits that impact this part of the sheet.
In my cell I need it to input a value from a different spreadsheet. The input value is text.
I currently use this formula and it works perfectly for what I need.
=(OFFSET(INDIRECT("sheet2!D"&$A7),R$6,25,1,1))
This would a return a variety of results such as "excluded","compliant","non-compliant".
I would like to arrange an IF function so that if the answer is Excluded to keep it as Excluded. But anything else to use this formula instead.
I have this table listed below that I want to automatically populate the score cell when i enter a new Cost of Poor Quality price. I have a lookup function to decide what score should be placed =LOOKUP(A2,{0,1001,5001,10001},{4,3,2,0}). I just don't know how to make the table dynamic to account for new entries while keeping the Lookup function working. T
I have a spreadsheet which is generated by someone else. I am not allowed to edit or sort this data It is in the format:
Column A Names (Example Simon is in cell A11) Column B emails (1 row down so a number would be in cell B12) Column C Phone calls etc. (cell C12)
The data is generated automatically so one day Simon could be at the top and the next day Daniel etc.
I need to copy each set of data so I can produce a graph on a team report.
I would normally use OFFSET but as the NAME column could be in any order, the results appear for a different NAME
The data I need is always OFFSET by the same number of columns and rows so the data for Simon would be OFFSET by 1 row and 1 and 2 columns. The data always occupies the same cells in the sheet namely A11:F46.
I have a table in cells A1:B11. I have two drop down menus in cells G3 and H3. When I select red in G3 I need Bob, Sam and Sarah appear in the drop down menu in cell H3. Instead, with my current formula, only Sarah appears in the drop down in cell H3. When I select green in G3 I need Tommy, Bob, Sandy, Carl and Phil appear in the drop down menu in Cell H3. Instead with my current formula only Phil appears in the drop down in cell H3.
I linked cell H3 to the defined name Names which equals OFFSET(INDEX(Sheet4!$B:$B, MATCH(Sheet4!$G$3, Sheet4!$A:$A,0),0),COUNTIF(Sheet4!$A:$A, Sheet4!$G$3)-1,0).
What should I add to this formula to make it work correctly?
I've followed several tips on how to match these formulas, but somehow cannot make them work. I'm using Open office's version of excel. I need a formula that searches on 'tension downfall' for data in the first sheet, and then return a value corresponding to the row and column that match the input on the first sheet.
'tension downfall' shows a double entry table which shows amperage against length and returns a wire size. I would like to input amperage and length on two different cells and have the wire size needed for those values. Is it clear enough? I'm attaching my current work to make it a little bit clearer.
I am working on a scheduling system and am trawling through some old notes of some two or three years. I came accross two formulas, which I must have used a while ago. they are a little more baffling that what I have recently used, but I must have referenced them for a reason. Normally I write down explanations of the formulas in blonde, so that I can understand their reasoning at a later date, however, I can find no reference to them. explain what they actually do in a logical fashion. I have been looking at this for four hours, filling in date ranges and cells that they refer to, but cannot make sense of them.
i'm running out an option, i must use offset or index function but there are problem found: 1.Offset function cannot use a dynamic height or number of columns and the result are #NAME?, here is the code
VB: Private Sub CommandButton1_Click()Dim k As Variant Dim b As Variant Range(Me.RefEdit1).Name = "item"
All is well, except for my x-axis (which is a text axis). It currently looks like this: Dynamic axis.jpg
I am using the Offset formula. The formula for my x-axis is =OFFSET(Worksheet1!$D$4,0,-3,COUNT(Worksheet1!$D$4:$D$36)). This is to show the axis if cells in Column D are filled up appropriately.
However, in the cells containing the axis name itself, this formula is used =IF(D9=0,NA(),'Worksheet2'!A6). I've tried removing the formula from these cell, but that didn't solve the problem.
i have 2 worksheets. one with portfolio stock data, and a second that i would like to use for dynamic charting. the chart worksheet has a drop down menu that chages a refernce cell to a number corresponding to the collumn in the portfolio worksheet for the chosen ticker
i would like to make a dynamic chart that updates the data ranges based on something like this: ....
I would like to use a custom function or excel formula, if already exists, that finds the text "12 months" and then returns the value of the column that holds that value.
I'm trying to lookup a string in a column from another sheet and than return the row on which that string was found. I have two files, one in which my OFFSET/MATCH worked and another in which they didn't work properly.
My problem is this: I have multiple instances of a string in a column and i want to get all the info on that string (the rest of the columns). Let me explain in examples.
In column A on Sheet 2 i have
4 2 4 2 3 4 5 3 2 2 2 2 4 1 3
I need to have in Sheet 1:
4 2 4 4 1 3
Where the first 4 (bolded) is the reference value.
In sheet 1 i have a column A2 which is the reference. In column B2 i have =MATCH(A2;'Sheet 2'!A1:A16051;1) - this worked on a file but returned a bad value on the other (donno why)
In the second file i used =MATCH(A2;'Sheet 2'!A2:A10552;0)+1 which returned the good value.
For the second value (row 4 1 3) i used =IF(OFFSET('Sheet 2'!A1;B2-2;0)=A2;OFFSET(Sheet 2'!A1;B2-2;0);0). This worked well on the first file but didn't work on the second.
I got the commands above from someone that used to update this file so i don't know exactly how they work
I use the SMALL function to sort the data in date order e.g: A6= =SMALL($A$2:$E$2,1) = 1/1/13, B6= =SMALL($A$2:$E$2,5) = 2/1/13, etc:
1-Jan-132-Jan-133-Jan-133-Jan-135-Jan-13
I then use the INDEX & MATCH functions to place the names under the sorted dates e.g. A7= =INDEX($A$1:$E$1,MATCH(A6,$A$2:$E$2,0)) = "Dan", B7= =INDEX($A$1:$E$1,MATCH(B6,$A$2:$E$2,0)) = "Ed", etc:
The problem I have with this formula is that if there is a duplicate date (i.e. 3/1/13), the INDEX/MATCH formula returns a second "Aaron" rather than "Con".
How to modify this formula so it will return "Con" and not a second "Aaron"? Please note that duplicate dates may recur across the row.
The formulas always assume the data is in multiple rows rather than multiple columns.
