Finding The Maximum Number Before A List Turns Negative
May 21, 2009
i have the volume of a reservoir in column A for lets say, 2 years, with monthly data (so 24 numbers in my list)
I also have some variables that feed into this list such as rainfall (fixed), and population (i.e water use, which i can manually change)
if i increase the population too much, the volume of the reservoir will at certain times of the year, fall into negative digits.
what i'm looking for, is a cell which works out the maximum value (in whole numbers) for my population, without any of the numbers in the reservoir volume list falling below zero.
selecting a range under a condition. I'd like to write a macro to find the maximum value for a certain ID. The number of ID rows (left column) is unknown so can't say range("A1:A5"). Then have the ID and max number shifted to another column. Maybe use 'rows.count' ?
a spreadsheet in Excel. I have names with scores. Then I have the winning score. I need a formula to find the score closest to zero and to display the name of the winner.
Ex: Names A1:A4 and Scores B1:B4. Winning Score in B6 and list name in B7. Ana 16 Bob 2 Charles 8 David 11
Winning Score 10
Answer should be 11 which is David, since David is only -1 away compared to the others.
My spreadsheet contains a tasklist. It is generally sorted by priority (number); each row also contains a task ID ("T0100"). When I add a new task I need to know the last used task ID so I can assign the next one.
I've tried various built in functions but each expects numbers.
How can I insert in a cell (or display in a msgbox) the maximum text value?
For example, Given the data below I'd like to have show "T0888".
I was hoping that my formula would give me the count number based on the Maximum time (latest time) and the Name field...My result is a 0 instead of 62 (the correct answer).
i want a macro to advance filter column A and make a unique list of it and then find the maximum value of each country in column A in 10 years. for example final table for country "CL" must be same this
I have to sets of data, each in a sheet with the first column as identical for both sheets. Sheet2 contains two series of 6 rows, each for a specific first column (""B Code").
Now I want to find the values of "TCT-C" column in sheet1 (for each range of 6 rows that the "B Code" is match) which corresponds to the row number that "TCT" in sheet2 is maximum (again for 6 rows). The point is, I need to shift to another series of 6 rows in sheet2 once the "B Code" does not match.
I have a row of data with the cells I want to find a MAX for are separated from each other:
a1=300 d1=500 g1=800 j1=10,000
I want to find the MAX value for a1,d1,g1,j1, but exclude any value over 1000. So instead of =MAX(a1,d1,g1,j1) returning 10,000, =???(???) will return the next highest max of 800.
I have a range of overtime data. I want to list the maximum occurrence of first 10 overtime data ( Like 3200,2950.2300....etc) Thereafter from the results obtained I need to know the cell address of the employee corresponding to the results obtained, i.e XYZ, ABC.....
A B Employee Name OT Amount 1. XYZ 3200.00 23. ABC 2950.00 35. WER 2300.00
Say I have 2 columns that in basic form look like this:
Column A Column B Jan 1 Feb 0 Mar 7 Apr 4 May 15 Jun 2 Jul 5 Aug 4
First I want to look up the max value in this column. This is easy =max(b1:b8) Then I want to know the minimum value that occurs after the maximum value. Thus the answer would be 2.
Problem: Range A2:C10 contains the login and logout times of various ID's. Each ID could log in and out a number of times a day. How could we find the first time a specific ID logged in and the last time that same ID logged out?
Solution: For each of the ID's in range A2:A10, enter two Array Formulas. To find the first login time (Column B) enter the following formula: {=1/MAX((A14=$A$2:$A$10)*($B$2:$B$10 To find the last logout time (Column C) enter the following formula: {=MAX(($A$2:$A$10=A14)*($C$2:$C$10))}
I am now working on an excel spreadsheet which will automatically update every day so that one row will be added on the top of the sheet everyday.i.e.
A1 Date Price A2 (New row added,date) (New row added,price) A3 16/1/2013 5.5 A4 15/1/2013 5.6 A5 14/1/2013 5.45 ... ...
Assuming that I am looking for maximum value of the column "Price", since max() cannot be applied to variable range, is there other method I could useto look for the most updated maximum value of column "price"?
I am writing a formula for finding a maximum out of three average values. The cells that will be populated with data are A1 to A5; B1 to B5; C1 to C5. The final cell where I want to write the formula needs to show the maximum of the three averages (average of data in each row).
The difficulty is that sometimes only the A and B rows are populated (and sometime only A row is populated) and if B and/or C are blank, the formula fails and shows "#DIV/0!".
How can I write so that if C is blank, then evaluate only A and B data. And If both B and C are blank, then just display the average of row A.
This should be simple to do but I can't figure it out. I have a database that lists operating room numbers in one column and the length of the surgeries performed in those rooms in another column.
I need a formula that will give me the longest OR time for a given room. For example the room numbers are in column A and the OR times are in Column B. I've tried something like
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
i have product group,product name and the statistics. I'll use an example of students with score. I have these set of data:
A B C D 1 Student Name Score Sum 2 Student1 Anna 48 80=Sumif(A:A,A2,C:C) 3 Student1 Anna 32 80 4 Student2 Tom 30 80 5 Student2 Tom 30 80 6 Student2 Tom 20 80 7 Student3 June 55 60 8 Student3 June 1 60 9 Student3 June 4 60
Now we have 2 students with tied highest scores with 80 Scores. Naturally i want the rank to be as follow: Top1 Anna since she has the highest score "48", and Top2 Tom, and Top3 June.
The problem is, the score data can vary and Top3 can probably have the highest score and he still didnt make the highest score collectively. And there will also going to be other situations as well because im working on a very large data set, and not these 3 students.
the max score is tied, and since im making another column with sum scores, the data is going to be redundant, and hopefully theres a formula to ignore this.
Please find the attached MS Excel 2010 file <average set.xlsx>.
There is set of positive set & negative set of values available in the Column A. The values are plotted against Column A in Column B. Light green are positive sets and light yellow are negative sets.
Now I want to calculate the average for the positive set & negative set of values as shown in light majenta in the cells F4:F9. Also all majenta cells to be plotted by formula.
The Column H and Column I also same as like above , but here negative set of numbers starts first.
I go negative in one column I want it to show up in the next column as a positive number because when I add my income and subtract my bills and the negative from last month to get the what cash I'll have left it screws up because negative subtract a negative is a positive. So how do i get the sum of say B9 to from -$5.00 to +$5.00 into C4 so when i subtract C4 From my income it wont add to it.
I have a list of data for a frame in a building. I used these forums to come up with a sort that will take the data and put in on seperate sheets based on the floor of the building. I need to now go through each "floor sheet" find the maximum values and paste them onto a Report sheet. This has to be done within a macro stored in my Personal.xls folder as the file with data is coming from another program and is always changing. Also, the sheet names wont always be the same as the format might be different like third, or 3rd, or "third". Here is the code for the sort macro, I am sure some of you will recognize it:
Public Sub Unique_Record_Extract() 'extracts unique records from Column A and copies those records to a new worksheet Dim My_Range As Range Dim My_Cell As Variant Dim sh_Original As Worksheet Dim Cell_Sum As Long Dim i As Long 'turn off interactive stuff to speed it up Application.DisplayAlerts = False Application.Calculation = xlManual Application.ScreenUpdating = False 'Delete All Blank rows if cell in column A is blank On Error Resume Next Range("A:A").SpecialCells(xlBlanks).EntireRow.Delete ActiveSheet.Name = "MainSheet"............................
I would like to add to this formula.... if the result of "$L$6-Q15", from below, is 0 or a negative number, then the desired result would be 0 for this formula.
This may sound simple, but is not (it might be easy for you hopefully)...... I have a string of numbers and the first few numbers can be either postive, negative or zero....Later on, the numbers all become negative......
I need to find the the cell which contains the first negative number in the consequtive negative numbers.....The difficult part is the numbers before the consequtive negative numbers can be anything......
I am using Excel 2003 and have a spreadsheet that lists 1521 fonts. I am using VBA and looping through the list of font names in column 1 and want to put an example of the font in column 2. I am trapping for error 1004 and using Resume Next. This works fine for 480 lines and then it just stops working. No error message or anything. The only thing I could think of is there might be a maximum number of fonts allowed per spreadsheete, but I would have though I would get an error.
I have rows of 10 keywords. I want the macros to compare the first row against all the rows except itself, then compare the second row against all the rows except itself, the third row against all the rows except itself, basically looking for duplicates...It will then record in a column for each respective row, the max # of duplicates found with another row..
For instance lets say I was looking at the 15th row, and it looked for duplicates elsewhere. It only found duplicates in the 4th row and the 5th row. In the fourth row, there were 5 keywords common, and in the 5th row there were 7 keywords common. Therefore the max # of common words is 7 for the 15th row, and that is what is recorded.
In addition the number of rows will probably vary it could range from 1 to 500. I included an excel spreadsheet that has visually speaking how this could work, maybe using COUNTIF. Basically it counts the # of common keywords for one row with all the other rows, pastes the count #s to the right, then finds the max of those count #s, copies the max into another column, then clears the count #s, and looks up the next row, repeats the same process. It is easier probably if you look at the attached spreadsheet to get an idea of what i am talking about..
