Finding Best Combination Of Multiple Fields?
Dec 14, 2012
The goal of this is to find the best combination of a captain (out of 5 possible choices), 5 crewmates (out of 25, no repeats), deck items (2 items, can be repeated, 20 total options), ram (1, out of 13), hull (1, 13 choices), and rudder (1, 7 choices)
Each choice in every category has 4 attributes - fighting, morale, seafaring, and speed. The ship parts also have a true/false field called "unlocked" - the false fields obviously can't be chosen.
A mission gives numbers saying what total attributes are needed for a 100% chance of success. If the mission has 2 attributes that are required (say seafaring and fighting, for instance) then it takes whichever chance of success is lowest and counts that as the mission success chance.
Example: A mission requires 2000 fighting and 2000 seafaring - I can reach 2000 fighting but 1500 seafaring, chance of success is 75%. It would be better for me to get a combination that gave me an 87% success rate in both fields.
How do I have excel go through every combination (and is that even plausable? I would imagine that being in the billions of combination choices) and highlight (turn a cell green or something) the combination that has the highest minimum chance of success in all fields?

I've been assigned a task of finding a combination of three or four machines. For example AD,AJ,AQ, and AB would equal 7 therefore it would be the best combination of workstations for that cell. However, I'm having an issue that if AD, AJ, AQ, and AB are being selected more than once.
My question is, how can I analyze all the data and determine the best combination given the relationships for each row given the column.
3 = Absolutely Necessary
2 = Extremely Necessary
1 = Necessary
0 = Do not associate

I am having a difficult time with a look up. It would be very hard to explain so I'll attach a copy of the section of the worksheet that the problem lies on with comments so you can see whats going on. The problem there is a numbered list with a reference number i can't seem to figure out a lookup that will look in the chart above and find the row associated to the reference number and according to how many before it have that reference number find a secondary reference number listed in the column above. The attachment should clear it up.

I am using a pivot table to explore the relationship between the two variables in a survey. Question 1 is a "choose all that apply" question, while Question 2 is more "if you said yes to any in question 1, choose all that apply".
So, I have about 10 filters for question 1, where each combination will give me a different number for the responses for question 2. My question is this: How do I get excel to automatically find the # of individuals with the particular combination of filters in question 1?
Ie. if said yes to 3/10 options in question 1, how do I get excel to find out how many actually said yes to the 3/10 questions.
The purpose of this data is for reference to question #2, so that i can utilize some percentages.

I have developed an evaluation algorithm for residential mortgages, and am having difficulty testing. I am trying to ensure that my scoring model makes sense from every possible scenario. The grading model takes into account multiple factors that most financial institutions would find important when assessing a potential borrower for a loan. Examples of these factors could be an individual's credit score (ranging from 0 - 800), the type of dwelling (multiple options to choose from), etc. In total there are about 20 different factors, each with a minimum of 5 possible options to choose from.
I am trying to create a spreadsheet that lists out all possible combinations of the multiple factors, and trying to input it by hand . To give an example:
Credit Score
Property Dwelling Type
Property Value
100
Townhouse
$350,000

I have a data set where a1 is the starting cell and it needs to equal cells b9 or b6 and if the cells in the a column match the data in b9 or b6 it should be assigned an 1 if the cell data in column a does not match the data in cells b9 or b6 it should be assigned a 0. I've tried multiple formulas and have not been able to find the right one

Im struggling to find a formula to populate cells based on values to be checked in two fields (ICODE, COMPANY) as shown below.
In the example here, all records where ever the ICODE = 49, i need to populate the fields(columns) AD1,AD2,AD3 or AD4 with the product name of the same company where the ICODE <> 49. There could be between 1-7 products per company.
CURRENT SHEET
ICODE PRODUCT COMPANY AD1 AD2 AD3 AD4

The attached example file may be a better alternative to view this problem.

I am trying to set up a "diet log" for my nephew to track his eating habits for a school project. I am trying to make the "total" section of the attached spread sheet auto calculating depending on the information placed in the "breakfast / lunch / dinner / snack" catagories. I have two worksheets in the file. The first being the preferred method of a single cell and seperating the items using only a ",". The second sheet has a little bit different lay out which I don't think will work as nicely.
Honestly, I am not sure if this will even be possible, but I figured I would try here as a final resort. Currently there are just some sample foods in there as I will let him fill in the actual workbook for his use.

I have a spreadsheet setup like a timesheet: Employee Name, Classification, Rate, etc.
I setup the Employee Name field as a drop-down. Since there are numerous employees with different rates, I want to just select a name so that the other fields fill-in with the appropriate rates.

So, I've created a pivot table and need to use one of my values in both the row and value fields. I haven't seen a way to easily do that so far. Is there something I'm missing or is this not possible with Excel (yet)?

I am fillin out a spread sheed with a num ber of codes. I want to create a excel formula that will look at the entire column and search for each of the codes. If I have forgotten to add one of the codes into the column I need the formula to let me know.
What I was thinking might work is this...
To look for one of the codes I would do this.
=IF(MATCH("FLA",E5:E36,0)>0,TRUE,FALSE)
This works great if the Value is in there. If it is not in there I get #N/A instead of FALSE. Is there a way to get the MATCH to return another value if it is not found in the range?
Is there an easier way to look for multiple values? So far the only solution I have found is like this
=IF(LEFT(Q19,1)="D",7.5,IF(LEFT(Q19,3)="FLB",7.5,0))
For each value I need to look up I add another IF function. I have about 17 different values I need to look for. This makes for a ugly function but it seems to work.

I know how to see if one value exists in an arrray, but is there a way to see if a combination of fields in one array exist in the same combination in another array?
In other words, if I have table A:........
and table B:......
I would like to add a column to table B containing a function that would indicate, in this instance, that only Larry-San Francisco, CA is a record shared by both tables.

I have 4 colums of customer input data, Length, Width, Height and Quantity. There are over 20 rows to accomodate multiple combinations. I have several other hidden pricing pages with all possible combinations including materials, pricing etc. Assuming I am on the frst pricing page and first combination I need a formula that will match the first 3 inputs per row and if true give me the 4rth input for the matching row.
Example:
Customer input-
row 1 = 8 - 12 - 4 - 15
row 2 = 4 - 4 - 2 - 25
etc.
Order Page-
Combination 1 = 4x4x2 quantity___ (input row 2 matches 4-4-2 give quantity 25)
Combination 2 = 4x8x2 quantity___ (no input row matches 4-8-2 give quantity 0)
Combination 36 = 8x12x4 quantity___ (input row 1 matches 8-12-4 give quantity 15)

I was wondering if it were at all possible to add multiple columns to the values portion of a pivot table at once, instead of individually dragging. When you click on them, it auto-sends them to Row Labels, which I don't want. I have a bunch of colums I want to add to Values and don't want to waste a bunch of time dragging them individually.

I'm doing a study of wind turbines, which are spread over a test field. There are 6 turbines, each checked once a day and produces a value. I look up what the weather man says it should be, "Reported" field.

The "Compare" field values must match all values for each turbine. The speeds identify the location with the best match speed against output of power generated. As each value in "Compared" is the best speed for that type of turbine.

I am working with a nonprofit to set up their financial ledgers. There is one workbook with 12 sheets, one for each month. The goal is to be able to set up a formula that searches through all 12 sheets for every donation that a specific individual has made. For instance, let's say that John Smith gave x amount of money on 1/1/2000, y amount of money on 1/10/2000, and z amount of money on 2/2/2000. This data will appear on 2 different worksheets. I have the following formula, which allows me to look through one sheet at a time:
{=INDEX(Jan!$B:$B,SMALL(IF(Jan!$A:$A=Smith!$A$2,ROW(Jan!$A:$A)),ROW(1:1)))}
Where Column A in each sheet is individual name, and column B is amount donated. Sheet "Jan" is the data for the month of January, and sheet "Smith" is the culmination of John Smith's donations for the full year. Using this array function, I am able to retrieve all data for John Smith in the month of January, but I can't find a way to make one function that searches for all of John Smith's donations in each month. Is there a way to build an array function in VBA that would accomplish this?

I have a table of data from which I would like to extract the information which is listed horizontally.
Column A Column B Column C Column D
Code Name Address Locality
SMITJOHN John Smith 123 Bell Rd Perth
On the 2nd worksheet I have a form which I have designed to which I would like to extract the information from the 1st worksheet.
I am hoping that it is possible to start entering a code based on some reference on the Name. Eg SMITJOHN
Once the code is true or correct it will populate certain cells on the 2nd worksheet automatically.
I work in transport and am looking to streamline some of the paperwork and am trying to do it within the means I have available to me.
The format of the 2nd worksheet is;
CODE: SMITJOHN
NAME: John Smith
ADDRESS: 123 Bell Rd

I recieve a spreadsheet each month with the following column of data:
9 Paddington House
PO Box 73
Whiteleys of Bayswater
9-10 Grove Road
134/138 Drymen Road
44-46 The High Street
1 Midland Road
48 Donegall Place
As you can see, it consists of addresses, each line is a separate address. I need it to be converted so that the data is split into the following 5 fields:
Street number from
street number letter from
street number to
street number letter to
street
If there is no street number , then it should just enter the data into the street field. If there is a range such as 44-46, it should enter the 2 numbers into the from and to fields. Sometimes this is in the format 44/46. Also, sometimes there are letters, eg 44a-44b, in which case each section (ie 44, a, 44, b) needs to be in a spearate field.

CENTRE, GRADE 1, GRADE 2, GRADE 3
Centre A, 0 1.4 1.0
Centre B, 2.0 0 0

I have a spreadsheet with a heap of raw data in it. I need to perform a search based on a customer name, then return certain columns from the raw data IF the customer name is matched in one column, AND a special flag name is matched in a second column. The customer name is always a single entry for the purpose of the query, however the special flag must be checked against a possible list of values in a table. I know this is hard to explain, and I can't add attachments to my posts, so I have created a sample document and placed in in dropbox:

- The macro should then try to find this data on the worksheet "Sheet2" in the same workbook. This data on Sheet2 is essentially a table with four columns "Number" (Col A), "Country" (Col B), "Consol" (Col C) and "Bypass" (Col D) but can have around 70k rows
- It should look for Number first, and if its not found, the macro should insert the message "Update OK" in cell A8 on Sheet1
- If it finds at least 1 row for the Number but the Country is the same for all the rows and it matches the value input for Country on Sheet1, then it insert the message "Multiple Records - Update OK" in cell A8 on Sheet1
- If it finds at least 1 row for the Number but the Country is the same for all the rows and it does not match the value input for Country on Sheet1, and if all Bypass fields in Sheet2 have "Y" but the Bypass field input on Sheet1 has "N", then put "Multiple Records - Update OK" in cell A8 on Sheet1
- If it finds at least 1 row for the Number but the Country is the same for all the rows and it does not match the value input for Country on Sheet1, and if all Bypass fields in Sheet2 have "N" but the Bypass field input on Sheet1 has "Y", then put "Multiple Records - Bypass - Do Not Update" in cell A8 on Sheet1
- If it finds at least 1 row for the Number but the Country is the same for all the rows that have a Bypass value of "N" and it does match the value input for Country on Sheet1 then put "Multiple Records - No Need to Update" in cell A8 on Sheet1
- If it finds at least 1 row for the Number but the Country is different for all the rows that have a Bypass value of "N", then put "Multiple Records - Refer" in cell A8 on Sheet1
