Finding Smallest Value In A Column

Aug 21, 2008

In column A, I have a list of names.
In column B, I have a list of values.
I want column C to show me which name has the smallest value from column B.
In other words, if there are 5 names, I want ONE name to give me a value of 10 (for the smallest value), and the rest of the names I want to show zero.

I also have in column D another list of values.
In column E, I want to show first, second and third place amongst the list of values from column D. The rest of the names I want to show zero.

Finding Smallest Value Within A Range

Jun 6, 2014

I currently am working with a worksheet that has over 250,000 data points. It is a spreadsheet for a company in which different work order are organized. A given work order can have several parts (ranging anywhere from one component to 40ish) and thus the height of the cells in which each specific work order is placed differs from work order to work order. For each component, the spreadsheet tells you how many can currently be made based on the materials available. What I would like to do, for each specific work order, is go through the data and simply tell whether or not the work order can be completed (the quantity of each specific component needed is also given in the spreadsheet) and then report out exactly how many components can be made.

Ultimately, this means that a "limiting factor" analysis must be done. For instance, if the work order is asking to create plastic bottles that consist of the bottle, the cap, and the label and it asks for 3 bottles but only 2 caps are able to be made, the limiting factor would be the caps and thus only two bottles could be made and the work order could not be fully completed.

The spreadsheet is set up based on another worker here, I am just trying to come up with a way to analyze it. Cells A1:Axxxxx are the work order numbers and the size of these cells differ because they are merged to fit the number of components they have. The componenets available are then ranged C1:Cxxxxx etc and the quantity needed are also listed in a similar fashion. What sort of structure could I use.

Finding Smallest Value In Range Close To Specified Calculated Point

Mar 8, 2012

Lets pretend that I have a boat load of automatically generated values from a different program.

There's a specific equillibrium point to a certain measurement, but this measurement involves a lot of fluctuation. To get a near accurate result, I must find the maximum value in an entire graph on the Y Axis value(Column B). Ofcourse, this is easily done using the =MAX value

Exactly 450 seconds (X Axis value(Column A)) positively and negatively from this point, something like this happens.

Problems:

A.) I must find the highest points 450 seconds negatively ( X ) to the max of the entire graph.

B.) I must find the lowest point closest to the two points we uncovered, both on the positive ( X -->) side.

C.) The fluctuation of every spike can last to about ±30 measured points in the graph. (±20 seconds) Thus, the maximum point surrounding the +/- 450 seconds (±693 x values) needs to be accurately predicted as being around 450 seconds, not 10 seconds more or less.

D.) The measurement is known to something glitch out and suddenly get a spike somewhere along the road, which will then quickly fall back down, which is a false maximum level. How can I prevent excel from taking this as the maximal point?

Remember, this needs to be fully automated into a macro later on, ergo, I cannot manually add the formulas to all the (650 different) sheets.

I have 25 days before the project gets cancelled if this doesn't make it.

Smallest Number In The Column

Dec 29, 2009

Currently we are using the formula below to get an average of column E in a spreadsheet. I was wondering how to modify the formula to get the smallest number in that column rather than the average.

=IF(ISERROR(SUMIFS(E:E,A:A,K2,B:B,K3,C:C,K4,D:D,K5)),"Not Available",AVERAGEIFS(E:E,A:A,K2,B:B,K3,C:C,K4,D:D,K5))

Return Cell Address Of Largest & Smallest Value In Column

Jun 2, 2009

How would I return a cell reference (address) to a cell that contains the largest number in a list?

I tried using "Address(large....) where I get the correct column, but the returned row # is the actual value in the cell (the highest # in the list).

I eventually will want to delete the highest number to leave the cell blank.

Finding The Sum For Values In One Column That Are Connect To A Value In The First Column

Feb 10, 2009

I have two columns. One column has UPCs - some of which are duplicates. The second column just has number values. I'm trying to add the sum of all of the numbers in column two which are attached to their respective UPC. For example,

COL A///// Col B
11111111111///// 10
00000000000///// 15
11111111111///// 10
11111111111///// 4
00000000000///// 2

So, I need a third and fourth column to give me the total value for a single SKU(col A) of all the values in col B. In this example the Third column would contain the SKU, and the fourth column would contain the sum of all values in column B that are associated with the single SKU in column three. The third and fourth column would look like this:

COL C///// COL D
11111111111///// 24
00000000000///// 17

Finding Matches From Column B Within Column A

Apr 6, 2012

Here is what I am trying to accomplish.

I have to columns.

I have copied column A from a PDF file. It contains entries like this, all in the same column:

5 0.002HP Direct- 26845 7/1959 Airesearch

This column contains an ID # (5), a description (0.002HP Direct), a part # (26845), a date (7/1959), and a manufacturer (Airesearch). All this info is in one column. This column is 11,000+ entries long.

I have column B which is 45,000+ entries long, and contains ONLY part numbers, like this:

325111

I would like to compare column B to find the matching results from within the text of column A, and put these matches into column C.

Finding Column Name Using VBA And Selecting Column After?

Jul 2, 2013

augmenting current code to select the column after a column. Current code is:

Code:
If Sheets(data_sheet1).Cells(2, iCol).Value = "Stations" Then TargetCol = 1
If Sheets(data_sheet1).Cells(2, iCol).Value = "Agency" Then TargetCol = 2
If Sheets(data_sheet1).Cells(2, iCol).Value = "Advertisers" Then TargetCol = 3
If Sheets(data_sheet1).Cells(2, iCol).Value = "Product Code" Then TargetCol = 4
The next line should find the column after "Product Code".

Finding Last Column

Jul 9, 2007

Using and array to go through a series of sheets and do stuff (Thanks Gerald and Von Pookie BTW). I have used code which finds the last row (varies from sheet to sheet), but not the last column (which also varies sheet to sheet).

Finding Last row
LastRow = Range("A" & Rows.Count).End(xlUp).Row

However this code doesn't seem to work for last column...sample...
LastCol = Range("A" & Columns.Count).End(xlLeft).Column

Is there a trick I'm not seeing? Does this only work using the 'Cell' function in VBA? If so, how would the line of code look? I'd really prefer finding the column letter as opposed to using the 'Cell' method if possible.

Finding Last Used Column

I am currently using the following code to find the last cell in a column that contains data.

lLastRow = ActiveSheet.Cells(Rows.Count, "a").End(xlUp).Row

Can anyone give me the version of this that would find the last cell in a row that contains data. The code would be used in a loop so I would need the row reference to be a variable.

Finding What Numbers Are In One Column But Not The Other

Nov 10, 2009

I have a large list of numbers in two columns. I need to know what numbers are in column A but don't appear in column B. For example if the numbers are 1 2 and 3 in column A but column B only has 1 and 2 I need to know that 3 is missing.

the only thing I can think of is doing =IF(A1=B1,"TRUE","FALSE") however typing this a thousand times would not be practical.

Is there a macro that can check column A against column B and tell me which ones are missing?

Finding Column / Row Heading?

Dec 20, 2011

I have a 70x70 table where I teased out the largest 20 values. I'd like to utilize a formula to deliver the column headings (as well as the row) headings for each of these 20 values. VLookup and HLookup don't seem to work for me, and Index/Match seems to only work for single columns.

It might be worth mentioning that is highly unlikely that any of the values in the table are repeated.
