Find Minimum Value From A Data Group
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.

Minimum Time For Each Data Group
I'm having an issue right now with an employee list that I am working on. What I am trying to do is determine the earliest time that an employee signed in, but the list that I can export may have the same employee on it multiple times in a day. Here is a sample of the data that I'm using: Emp No. Time In 9900872 9:00am 9900874 9:03am 9900874 11:00am 9900874 11:45am 9900875 10:15am 9900875 11:45am What I want to get is the minimums only, so that the list would show: Emp No. Time In 9900872 9:00am 9900874 9:03am 9900875 10:15am I know how I could do this in VBA, however I have everything else working without using VBA, so if possible I would like to leave it that way. Also, I do not know if it would matter to the solution, but the employee numbers are always sorted numerically, although their clock in times are not.

Find A Minimum Query
I have a set of worksheets all of which are identical and covered by first:last sheets What I am trying to do is come to up with a minimum figure for cell G30 With the proviso that it is a minimum of 30 as some of the entries in G30 are less than that figure. =MIN(first:last!G30) is not the answer as it gives an answer of zero.

Find Minimum Value Corresponding To Maximum Value
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). A small sample of what the data set looks like: 2008 Q22008 Q32008 Q42009 Q12009 Q22009 Q3 Atlanta771773768761749756 Austin770786784779776776 Baltimore947948949950950953 Boston1,6471,6601,6541,6481,6301,613 Chicago998998996985984986

Conditional Count (Find The Minimum Value In The Range)
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)

Find Minimum Value In Column Corresponding To Specific Text
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.

Lookup Functions Find The Address Of The Minimum Value In That Range
I have a range of cells (say A1:D8). I wanna find the address (say $B$2) of the minimum value in that range. This command does it but it only works on a column. it does not accept a range spanning more than one column. =CELL("address",INDEX(B2:B7,MATCH(MIN(B2:B7),B2:B7,0))) this will tell me the address of the minimum value.. but in a column... I need a range of many columns. So I tried converting things to a Table.. but it never worked. basically the MATCH command is my problem. It only accepts single-column-ed ranges.

VBA Solver: Find Minimum Value Of Cell By Changing X Cells With Constraints
I'm trying to use solver to find the minimum value of a cell by changing 5 separate cells. These cells are subject to a set of constraints that are formulae. On top of that I have a large number of these solve's to run (The spreadsheet is creating randomly distributed data to form a Monte Carlo simulation). Therefore I am referencing the formulas using the ActiveCell, Offset() function. For some reason when running this code none of the values are changed. Also I changed the UserFinish to false so I could see what solver was doing at each solve, It stops at the correct cell (one after the final cell) but without me having to confirm it each time. Here is the ....

Return Data Corresponding To Minimum & Maximum
Please see attached file which is data for horse races (this is a small example of the data i will be working with). I need to find the largest values from the MIN and MAX column (shaded Grey) range for each race. I want to be able to add a function that will allow me to quickly identify which horse has the largest number in both the MIN & MAX columns example on spreadsheet is highlighted RED. It would be handy if it would inform me if the criteria has been met by highlighting it or by placing some text value in an adjacent cell on my spreadsheet i have used the example "Y". It would also be beneficial if that race be deleted in its entirity if there are no horses which meet the criteria above or similary if all other selections within that race be deleted if ther is a horse which meets the criteria. If there is a selection within that race i will need to keep the row that includes the heading which is coloured blue on the attachment. I will be working with 20,000 or more selections at a time so it is important that they can be identified quickly for ease of use. I have tried the functions i know such as MAX and LARGE but this requires me to do alot of work when you consider the ammount of data i'm required to work with.

Sum Data By Group
how to write a macro that will automatically input a sum formula under a range of numbers in my file. An example is below. Every month I get this report and I then true up the numbers which is why I need the sum formula at the bottom of each category. The problem is every month is not necessarily the same length, but the report is a few thousand lines long, so a macro to do it instead of manually doing Example: Revenue Revenue source 1 Revenue source 2 Total Revenue--------SUM(all revenue cells) Payroll Tax Incentives Vacation Etc Etc Total Payroll---------SUM(All Payroll cells) Warehouse Supplies Maintenance Etc Total Warehous-----Sum(All Warehouse)

Group Data With Changing Criteria
I have created a worksheet with criteria for grouping the students. If the teacher selects 1 high, 1 med, 1 low in each group based on the conflict lesson plan (or test #2 or whatever assessment the teacher chooses), then I want the spreadsheet to create groups with the students names using the table corresponding with the assessment they choose. (I.e. the conflict table or the test #2 table) So group one will list one high student, 1 med, 1 low etc.... Initially I was going to use lookup_occurrence to do this; however, I ran into a problem. When a teacher selects 1 high, 1 med, 1 low, then cell B8 says high, cell B9 says med, cell B10 says low. And then I was going to put a lookup_occurrence in the corresponding c columns to find the first occurrence of those values for group one. However the problem is this if a teacher selects all high, all med, all low in a group then cell B8 will say high still, but cell B9 will say HIGH not med now, which it does, but then the corresponding lookup formula will need to be the SECOND occurrence of the value in B9 instead of the first as before. So you see this is a problem. I now have NO IDEA how to generate these groups since the lookup_occurrence formula idea will not work. I also have a problem separating the periods. If the teacher chooses to group the students based on the first lesson plan, I have told it to look up the table 'E_term 1'!Card1. Problem is Card1 is a table with ALL 8 periods with a few lines separating each period. If I go in and rename each card by period as well, it is going to be a nightmare. Attached is a sample of TWO pages from my workbook: the groupings page, and the e_term 1 page. How do I create groups based on changing group types, periods, and assessments?

Formula To Group Series Of Data
adapting a formula which I was provided on the forum earlier in the week (I have attached a worksheet as an example). The formula is in column A in the following format ‘=IF(B4=B3,A3,IF(OR(AND(B3<=B2,B3<=B4),AND(B3>=B2,B3>=B4)),A3+1,A3))’. It is used to number groups of data and it should increase by an increment of 1 for each group. The groups are defined by a changing angle (column B) which runs from high to low (group 1) then low to high (group 2) etc. The formula in column A works fine until the angle column does not change for 1 or more data points (which sometimes occurs on the change over between groups). See row 430 and 331, the group 6 needs to either be included in group 5 or 7 and then the current group 7 needs to become group 6 and carry on as normal. Is there any way of adapting this formula or changing it to account for this problem? I have a lot of data series like these and the repeated angles could occur between any groups not just at group 6 as it has done in this example.

Group Data For Counting/Summing
I have a set of data that I would like to break into groups, but I do not know what the groups are. I would like Excel to help me find the groups. More specifically, my tax data consists of the following columns (I'm simplifying): parcel number, dollar value, tax amount, days late paid. 123435, $12000, $100, 20 234234, $23000, $230, 05 etc. Of course my Excel "results" would omit the parcel numbers, but it would propose groups (and how many parcels in each group) such as: ...

Duplicate Headings Down Each Data Group

I have been doing this manually and it is very time consuming since there are roughly 2000 rows. I believe a macro can accomplish this task but unsure how to create it. I was also unable to find any similar threads. I have attached a sample workbook. The original tab has the imported information and the Finished tab has what I would like the data to look like.

Group Data For Ranking & Sorting
I have a spreadsheet with a list of ID's in column A. In Column B I have a list of ratings. Each ID has more than one rating. For example there may be 8 rows with ID 1, 12 rows with ID 2, 6 rows with ID 3 etc...... I want to rank the ratings in Column B with highest being 1 but only when the ID's are the same. For example there would be 8 ratings ranked for ID 1, 12 for ID 2 etc..... The problem is I am running a monte carlo simulation on the rating of around 10,000 simulations. Every simulation the rank for each row will of course change because the rating has changed. The spreadsheet has around 70,000 rows and over 3000 ID's. How can I do this without either the computer becoming a crawl or freezing up and it not taking 30 minutes for each step of the simulation?

Looking Up If A Particular Data Input Belongs To A Named Group?
Basically, what I'd like to do is use a function that looks up whether a specific cell value belongs to a certain group, and then return true if it does and false if it doesn't so I can use it in an IF function. So let's say i've got a group of fruits seperated by color. If someone selects a banana, i'd like for the function to look up if the banana belongs to the group "Yellow", which has already been defined, and then return true. I'm sure this is easy, but I can't figure it out.

Recognising If Data Is A Member Of An Array/group
how I can have excel determine what array or predetermined group a piece of data belongs to as it loops through it. For example... Say I import the A column via .csv file, I want to then run a macro that recognises the data and then catergorise it... the desired outcome would be the red text in the C column. I want to be able to added the variable members to each group as such, I'm presuming this is best by a declaration.

If Minimum Below Zero Then Return Minimum
I have had a lot of luck finding what I need from the search areas, and I even found some information on the formula I am trying to build. The problem is I don't understand it and I need some help. First let me set it up for you. (I do not know the formula) If cell L125 is has a value >0.00, I need to locate the smallest value the range of cells C125:F125, I then need to subtract L125 from that number, otherwise enter nothing. This really has me baffled. I tried and I tried but it will not find the smallest value then subtract L125.

Create New Sheet For Each Group & Copy Needed Data To Each
I have just inherited an Excel spreadhseet that displays job titles and what types of documents each one should be trained on. What I am trying to achieve is a formula, or something to that sort, that will look at each job individually and tell me only those documents that they need to be trained on and list it on a seperate sheet. If you look at the attached document you will see that the first 2 columns contain a document number and description. Across the top you see each of our job descriptions. In the middle you see an X that indicates that person should be trained on that document. So once more, I would like to take each Job Description (seperately) and list only the documents that have an "x" in their column on another sheet. I already have the sheets created, I just need to know if there is some kind of formula or macro that can do this for me.

Pivot Table Report Daily Data & Group Same Days In Year
Last week I posted a question related to formatting a cell to return a Day of the Week versus a numerical representation IE "Wed" instead of 02/20/2008 12:00AM. The solution provided worked for me: 1) Format cell to DDD MM/DD/YYYY HR:MN. Cell range (A1:A500) 2) Format destination cell with DDD. Cell range (B1:B500) 3) Destination cell (B1) = to original cell A1 4) B1 displayed data as "Wed" However, the issue I still have is; I wanted to create a pivot table summarizing a year activity by Day of Week (in other words 7 entries for the year) and the pivot table still recognized all the MM/DD/YYYY. I ended up with a table displaying every day of the year instead of a yearly summary by Day of Week. Is there some way to strip out all the other numerical data from the new column I created to run a pivot table by Day of the Week for a whole years activity?

VBA Program For Data Entry - Find The Matching Data To Update
I want the script to find if the value entered in the form is matching the values in column 'A' in the database and if it matches then it needs to select the cell as active cell - to populate the form details. And if there is no matching value found, the script needs to select the last empty cell of the column 'A' to populate the data entered in the form. 1) Form has 10 different fields that needs to be filled by the user. 2) Field 1 - is a text box for 'Request #' to be entered by the user. 3) After filling in all the fields - once clicked on OK, the form should search for the the 'request #' entered on the form in the database (Form and the database are in the same workbook). 4) If the 'Reqeust #' in the Column 'A' matches the the 'Request #' entered in the form, then the matching cell should be selected (Activecell -Were the data can be overwritten, with the new entry) 5)If there is no matching 'Request #' found in the database, the script should loop to select the next available blank cell in column 'A'. So that the form data can be entered.
