Find Minimum Number In Given Set Of Numbers Without Repeats
Dec 24, 2011
So i need a way to find the minimum number in a given set of numbers without there being multiple minimums. For example if you had 1,2,3,4,5,6,7 the minimum would be 1. If however you had 1, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5....i want excel to recognize there are multiple minimums (two 1's) and produce a warning (i realize this probably needs to be coupled with an if statement).
I have a large amount of data and I'm trying to count how many unique values I have in one column. I also want to know how many times each duplicate appears. I tried using a pivot table but it's not working for me.
I also tried the following formula: =SUM(IF(FREQUENCY(H:H,H:H)>0,1)) but it's not quite working.
Items in Column A1 are calculated by (B2/4+5)*1.4 Items located under the columns 2000, 3000, 4000, etc... 10,000 are calculated by taking the top number, eg 2000/(A1 cell value)+the column B number. 2000/7+0 = 286 (rounded numbers)
I need to find an way to look up for x number (2000,3000,4000, etc...) find the smallest number in that column and then return the value in column A1.
Cell A1 Number >2000300040005000600070008000900010000 70 2864295717148571000114312861429 84 24236148059971883795610751194
How do I find the minimum and maximum numbers in a table if I do not know the size of the table but can assume the user will choose the first cell (upper left cell) of the table and run the macro?
I'm looking for a formula to find the minimum value in a non successive range of numbers (excluding zero values).
My sheet contains four fields of numbers (#1, #2, #3 and #4) and than start over again with number #1, #2, #3 and #4 etc. This goes on for approx. 25 4-column blocks. A simple MIN-formula or SMALL-formula doesn't seem to do the trick as it takes all values into account, not just the #1 or #2 or #3 or #4 values.
Example (cells A1..A24): 999-999-999-999-110-120-130-140-111-121-131-141-112-122-132-142-0-0-0-0-113-123-133-143
The minimum value of #1 (excluding the zero's) would be 110, the minimum value of #2 would be 120, #3 would be 130 and #4 would be 140.
Attached is a print screen. I'm struggling with using the min function in vba. I want it to find the minimum cumulative cost in week 0 out of the first three, and the copy the permutations of it (1,0 or 1, 1 , e.t.c.) to Week one column C & D of the model.
I'm trying to write a code that will generate random numbers and no number appears more than onece.
For I = 0 To 3 For J = 0 To I Do n = Int(4 * Rnd) + 1 'random number generated Array1(I) = n 'random number settled in an array If (I = I - J) Then 'checking for the same place in array numsOK = True Else If Array1(I) = Array1(I - J) Then ' comparing two different places in an array numsOK = False Else numsOK = True End If End If
I attempting to create a formula that will create random numbers in a column without repeats. For example, I have a spreadsheet with two columns. The first column I want to contain the random numbers and the second column will contain names. I just need the formula to create the random numbers once.
I have the following figures in my spreadsheet and I have been trying to use SUMIFS. However, I don't want to count values in a continuous way, rather than that, I need to count the values ONLY until the number that is being counted repeats.
Example: Spreadsheet from Column Q1 to Column Q6:
Q1 Controlling Q2 8 Q3 8 Q4 8 Q5 8 Q6 8
On this case, the Excel would count the number 8 five times in this array. However, If there were more number just below the number 8, it would count them as well and that's not what I am looking for.
Q1 Controlling Q2 8 Q3 8 Q4 8 Q5 8 Q6 8 Q7 5 Q7 8
What do I need is not to count them when the number being counted has stopped to appear eventhough it can be found at Q7.
For my needs the answer should be that the number 8 was counted 5 five times rather than 6.
I need to find the minimum of 4 numbers placed in 4 columns and delete the one which is minimum among them. I know to find minimum I can use min function but i don't know after finding how can i delete that automatically. Also problem is if two or more numbers are identical and minimum value it has to delete any one of them.
I need a function like a sumif, but rather than adding together numbers, I want it to pick the minimum. For example, if I had a list of prices for various products, I want the formula to go and find the lowest price for a particular product.
I am having trouble with large data sets of rents by market: trying to find the peak rent in a time-series, and then look for the next trough rent in time. I tried using the Newsletter 3 techniques which feels like the right direction, but I am not getting the nesting right or some of the parameters in the functions.
So, within each time-series I need to find the MAX value (peak rent), wherever that is in the array. Then I need to look to the right of that exact MAX value and find the exact MIN value (trough rent), whereever that is in the array (again, to the right of the MAX value).
I have been trying to solve this problem for the past couple of weeks and I have not been able to do so. I have come to do the operation manually, and it really takes a lot of my time, so if you guys could help me, I would really appreciate it.
Basically the problem is this:
In column "A" I have what I call point numbers for all the data entries.
In column "B" I have the station (or location) at which I vary slightly a parameter (represented by column "E") to give me a value shown in column "D" (the "Z" value, as shown in the sheet).
So basically you can see that my station 0 has 11 different "E" parameters (0, -1, -2.62, -5, etc) and each of them has a "Z" parameter (390.76, 390.775, etc).
What I am trying to do is to come up with a table that shows a summary of the following:
A column with each of the stations (0, 20, 40, etc -- notice that I have some weird numbered stations like 411.89).
Another column with the "E" parameter corresponding to the lowest (or minimum) "Z" parameter within the station range.
And a final column with the minimum "Z" parameter corresponding to its "E" parameter, which is included in the station range
You can see in yellow the way I have been doing this and you can see that it would take me so much time to accomplish the task.
I have following problem I have some table - 2 columns - in first is text in second is value.
example: A 10 B 5 C 3 A 15 C 8 D 7 A 9
I need to use formula, which shows me minimal value for choosen text. I tried matrix formula like {=min(if(text table=choosen text; second column;0}, but it's not working
If I have a range of data say all numeric and range form cells A1:A20. How would I find the minimum value except A4 where A4>0?
I know I can use the 'MIN' function and highlight all the data bar A4 (min(A1:A3,A5:A20) but i was hoping for an actual way so I could later fix the column such that first A1 is the first to be omitted A2 is the second and so on.
Look in Column A and find the cell that contains "Std A 1" and the cell that contains "Std A 2".
Compare the corresponding values in Column B, and multiply the lowest value by .2 I've tried using various methods (find, if cell.value.instr) but I keep getting errors. Can anyone point me in the right direction?
I have inherited some legacy templates (Standard, Leave and Exception) which cannot be changed. I need to summarise them (Total) selecting the earliest start and the latest finish. (Sample attached). The templates are 90 columns wide and about fifty lines deep so named ranges isn't practicle (I think). I'm running 2003.
I am trying, without success, to create a formula that will refer to a column of data and do the following in one step:
1. Find the minimum value in the range, and then 2. From that minimum value, count back “up” the column the number of occurrences, including the minimum value, until a zero is reached. The zero should not be counted.
For example, if the values in A1:A6 are 1, 0, 2, -1, -2, 1, the minimum value is -2 and the count would return 3. (i.e. 2, -1 and -2)
I have a table that contains various aspects of information about customer cases, and I want to replicate a user 'picking up' the case by a simple press of a button. Users have access to only one Country, so I want to be able to search a particular column for the lowest value, but check that the Country for that row matches the user's access. If it doesn't, I then want to find the next lowest value in the column, and this is what's perplexing me??? As mentioned, I want to click a button to trigger this, and therefore want to use VBA code.
I am looking for a simple formula that would show a minimum number of '1' if the two cells that I am multiplying together are less than '1'.
Example would be the total gasoline for a round trip is $58.65 at .24 round trips. I want it to show a minimum of '1' round trip at the cost of $58.65 and not a fraction cost of $14.08.
I am entering this formula on an iPad's Numbers app (formulas are basically the same)
