Finding Corresponding Values In Table And Division With Cells Containing Text?
Sep 6, 2013
1) I am trying to find a matching value in a table. I have a 5*252 table that starts in B2. So the table goes from B2 to F253. I am trying to match a value in column D (column 3 in the table and column 4 in the spreadsheet) with a value in Column F (column 5 in the table and column 6 in the spreadsheet). The original value is in cell 222 in the table and cell 224 in the spreadsheet.
I tried the LOOKUP, VLOOKUP and HLOOKUP functions, but they return nothing but N/A. I use a reference cell or just the value for the lookup value but it does not work. I do not know if I am using the wrong formulas or what, but I have tried various permutations. (question 3 in excel workbook )
2) I am trying to calculate the standard deviation of a column D (contains both numbers and text) divided by column B (first in table). Excel does not appear to have a custom division formula. It has a remainder and a quotient formula which does not apply here. The problem is that the STDEV function does not allow for a division sign (/) in the formula. the STDEV function does ignore texts.
Is there a way for me to divide a cell ( containing both letters and numbers) by another cell just containing numbers and then taking the standard deviation of those values all in one formula?

I have this list of companies (about 50) in one work sheet. If a certain company has sales or costs it will appear under the company name, as either Products, Installation or Freight. It looks something like this:
Company
Sales
Costs
[Code]....
What formula should I use the find the installation that belongs to that certain company? And not all companies has a line that say installation.

I am building a table that assigns three roles to chores: Accountable, Helper1, and Helper2. I have a "user interface" tab, where there is a dropdown list where particular chores can be selected. I am looking to have the people in each role for the selected chore returned into the cells. I have attached an example file to clarification. For example, I am looking to have the name (Mike, Shannon, Tom, Blake, Kelsey, Sam) from tab #2 populated into the related cells C3, D3, and E3 on tab#1. I think it's possible with a long imbedded IF function, but I am looking for a more simple solution if possible.

I have a spreadsheet with some calculations and the part i am interested in is data in R4 : V58
In this R4:R58, S4:S58 and T4:T58 have some rows that have False because of IF calculations that put False in some rows of R and hence in S and Hence in T.
For example, R15="FALSE" so will S15 and T15 be. Col U is based on whether the corresponding row in R is False or a number. If a Rown in R is false, the row in U= 0 else the row in U is the same as in the same row of a different column - Col I
Col R, T and U are numbers. Col S is text
For example:"
R S T U
False False False 0
False False False 0
False False False 0
55 DEF 3 15
46 XYZ 2 67
False False False 0
False False False 0
23 GEF 4 43
I want a table in another worksheet that will sort through this using a formula and print
Col1 Col2 Col3 Col4
55 DEF 3 15
46 XYZ 2 67
23 GEF 4 43
If I can define things like where the table will be placed in the new worksheet etc, that will be a bonus..But It appears I cannot understand how to do this at all..

I am trying to create a cell that show the value of all specified rows with specific name.
For example:
Apples $2 $5 $10
Oranges $5 $10 $50
Apples $5 $ 6 $ 60
(each of these will be in their own cells, 3 rows and 4 columns)
How do I create a cell that will sum the total value of all the Apples by using Apples as the variable?

cell 4 = 9
something to return the value 9

I am looking to set up an excel doc with 2 sheets.
In sheet 1, I am would like to be able to enter a series of words of interest/criteria to be met (in column D).
In sheet 2, I would like to paste in the text from an individual's CV. The text would be entered en masse, meaning that some cells would be empty and others would have whole sentences/paragraphs of text.
I would like a formula to enter in column A of sheet 1 which would search all of the cells in sheet 2 for the word/words in column D of sheet 1 and return either a positive or negative value.
I had tried the following:
=(COUNTIF(Sheet2!1:1048576,Sheet1!D2)>0)
This formula, however, is not capable of extracting the desired text from a string/sentence, and so only returns a positive result if the desired text is in a cell by itself.

The easiest way of explaining what I'm after is to say, I have letters of the alphabet, in their own cells, and I want to find them by way of a search. I don't mind how this is done, but it would be good if for example you entered A, C and E, any cells containing those letters changed, maybe became bold, or the cell filled with colour.

I want to have a formula that finds the sum of the values in Col 1 (Qty) for the rows that equal, eg: 140, in Col 2 (Product) So that I can have a list of Products of the Qty that relates to each product. (there are products in increments of 10 from 10 to 920, that is, 92 products)

I am trying to find the Maximum Value in Column C based on the criteria that Column B contains "Afghanistan but NOT Mobile.
In a second cell I also want to find the maximum value in Column C based on the criteria that Column B contains "Afghanistan" AND "Mobile"
The code I have come up with is in the table however it is only showing the max value for cells containing "Afghanistan". If I add the wildcard "*" it does not return a value. how I can achieve my objectives?

refer to the attached workbook for reference. I am looking for a function in Sheet1, Column E that will search for the value of Sheet1, Column A within Sheet2, Column A. When a match is found, the function should look across Sheet2, Columns B - V for values of 1. When such values are found, the function should return the associated value from Sheet2, Row 2. There may be multiple values of 1, and as such, the function should separate values with a comma.

I think Match has trouble finding a value thats within a cell containing a lot of words.
Heres the example. I'm trying to find the word "Hello world" in cell B1, in Column A.
Column A
1 Lots of Text
2 Text Text. Hello world. text text
3 Text Text
Cell B1
Hello world
Column B2
Match("*"&B1&"*",A:A,0)
When theres only 1 sentence in Cell A2, the function works and returns 2.
However, when Cell A2 contains a few paragraphs the function returns #NA.
I don't necessarily need to use Match, if this is indeed a limitation does anyone of suggestions to work around, other than vlookup?

I’m trying to figure out how to show the highest occurrence of text in 10 cells which are not next to each other. Some of the cells will also be blank And the other thing is if there is a draw e.g. 5 2Z and 5 1Z I'd like it to show that, either with a word e.g. "DRAW" or anything really other than just putting whichever of the 2 "notes" in it feels like
Attached is a spreadsheet (all other data deleted) that shows what I am wanting to do – I have typed the results I am after directly in to the cells in columns BE & BF – BE will need some kind of countif, but when I try that is says I have too many arguments! I have to leave the columns in between blank in this case as they have other info in them, which is really annoying as if those 10 cells were contiguous then the formula

From the research I've done, it seems that pivot tables do not support text in the values area, period.
Quite a bit of work has gone into aggregating this data, and it's so close, but the text fields are showing 0.
Have a look. Double-clicking on cell C5 (sheet 1) drills down into the individual record. Cell E2 (sheet 4) contains the text value I need--"Not Stated".
Is there any quick workaround to get this text value to showup in cell C5 of the pivot table?

I am pretty new to VBA and have been wrecking my brain and reading just about every Thread there is on this and still can't figure out why I am not getting the code to work.
I am trying to get data from Column "Sale Price", stored in Table "MasterInventory" on worksheet "Master Inventory" to populate a textbox in a UserForm by means of Vlookup.
Upon running the code below I'm getting Value Error 1004, and during Debug when I hover over "MasterInventory" it shows "MasterInventory=Empty"
Also Im trying to figure out how to do it so I can call the "userform" up from any worksheet and add the entries in the table on worksheet (Jan, Feb, Mar, etc.) for the month depicted in the TextBox "Date" on the Userform
The code looks like this:
Private Sub CBx_PROD_AfterUpdate()
'lookup value in Col F [Sale Price] based on Product (Col A [Description] in Table [MasterInventory])
With TB_SP
If OB_Y.Value = True Then
Me.TB_SP.Value = Application.WorksheetFunction.VLookup(CBx_PROD.Value, MasterInventory, 6, False).Value
End If
If CBx_PROD.Value = "" Then
Exit Sub
End If
End With
End Sub

I have a pivot table and next to it I added some calculations which are based on data from the table. In my "real" file, the cells next to the PT are formatted with conditional formatting based on other values in the sheet (see attached sample file). What I now need to do is add borders to the cells in columns “D:G” only if the cells in “B5” and downwards are not empty. I have tried doing it with conditional formatting but there are some other rules which contradict this setting.
The idea is to make the cells in columns “D:G” look like they are a natural extension on the PT. However, the table can grow or shrink (in length) and I want to see borders only around cells that are on the same rows as the data in column “B” (staring with B5). I think that whatever solution you can provide (if you can...) should be based a workbook_change event, because in my “real” file, the length of the table is changed whenever I select a different “page” of the PT.

From a supplier I will get a spreadsheet including the the following Information which I need to convert into an url including trailing slash (/) for an online store.
Column A = Value of Main Cartegory (e.g. Holidays)
Column B = Value of Subcategory_1 (e.g. Christmas Decor)
Column C = Value of Subcategory_2 (e.g. Candle Holders)
Those raw data are without any trailing slashes.
Now I want to create a column e.g. Column D (product_url) which should be a summary of column A thru C but if there is only a Value for Main Category
there should be no trailing slash,
if there is a Value for Main Category and a Value for Subcategory_1: no trailing slash after Subcategory_1 but trailing slash between Main Category and Subcategory_1.
The result should look like this:
Holidays (Main category)
Holidays/Christmas Decor (Main category & Subcategory_1)
Holidays/Christmas Decor/Candleholders (Main category & Subcategory_1 & Subcategory_2)
Is it possible to create something like that in Excel at all since all values will only be text and the trailing slash is actually functional for Excel calculations but in this case it would have to be treated as "text".

i have a problem adding cells every 5th cell for example i have
=SUMPRODUCT((C10:C67)*(MOD(ROW(C10:C67),5)=0))
this adds every 5th row in this range and it does it right as long as there is no text in the cells in between
it works fine when it looks like this
1
1
1
1
1
1
1
but it does not work when it looks like this
1
1
text
1
1
1
when this happens it appears as #VALUE, meaning an error but i don't understand why if i'm just telling it to look at every 5th row and those specific rows have no text in them
i have a spreadsheet with text in between the cells that need to be added so i need a formula that only adds up the cells with numbers on it, to be specific the numbers are either ones or zeroes.....

In the attached file I am simply trying to get a percentage for a given group based on the column "annual starts". When I try and copy down the formula for the other cells it gives me an error because its using the wrong denominator (the errors show up in the excel sheet as #div/0).How can I make this consistent?

I am puzzled with the following formula (entered with CTRL+SHIFT+ENTER) and it will not work. I get a error due to division by 0
{=SUM((MONTH(A$1:A$25)={1,2,3,11,12})*B$1:B$25)/SUM(MONTH(A$1:A$25)={1,2,3,11,12})}
My intention is to simply get an average of the values in column B if its respective row in column A is month # 1,2,3,11, or 12
A
B
1
01/15/2013
100
[Code] ......
Refer to the above table. Since A1, A2, A5, and A6 are having the months I seek, I then need Excel to use the values in B1,B2,B5, and B6 to offer me the average. In this case it should be (100+200+500+600)=1400 then divided by the number of occurrences column A had months that matched my criteria=4... so the final answer i would need is 1400/4 = 350

I'm trying to get the % increase but when its goes from 0 to "xx value", I get the division by zero error.
For example:
2006 Sales: 0
2007 Sales: 10,000
It would show the correct % increase in sales.

I have a forecast for a week, all days I type in, the real order, in the end of the week I got a difference between the forecast and the real orders. the difference can be positive or negative, in any case I want that difference to be added on the next cell on next week, plus the difference between the forecast and the real order from the day before, and so on.
I'm using this formula "E4*($L$3+1+IF(K4,ABS(K3/K4-1),0))" but if the real order is less than the forecast the formula add the difference increasing in a positive way, when what I want is decrease the value if the difference shows a negative tendency.
hope this make sense.
I attached a file with what I intend to do.
