View 4 Replies View RelatedI have a list of numbers in an Excel range. Most of the numbers are the same but some are not. I need a function that will go through the list and return the value which occurs most frequently. (Not the number of occurences but the actual value). I need to do this in VBA.
View 3 Replies View RelatedI know the mode function finds the most frequently occuring number but is there a way to find the most frequently occuring word/text?
View 3 Replies View RelatedI have a column with over 60,000 rows of data. I need to find out which value in the table occurs the maximum number of times, and its count.
The traditional methods of COUNTIF or INDEX/MATCH using MODE dont seem to work and excel crashes after a few mins.
Is there any other way to do the same (other than splitting the file into several smaller files)?
I need a probability distribution for amounts to be shipped taking into account both the probabilty distribution on parcel sizes (amounts to be shipped) per ship as well as the probabilities on the number of ships arriving.
Please see the following:
Say you have a probabilty distribution for ships arriving, i.e. the probabilty of 1 ship arriving in a specific time period= 0.25 ( event a), the probabilty of 2 ships arriving = 0.2 (event B) etc. Please take into account that this can go up to about 20 ships per time period.
Each ship can have one of four parcel sizes, (demand that needs to be met) (the following are just example probabilties)
0 tons with a probability of 0.67 event 1
1000 tons with a probabilty of 0.08 event 2
1500 tons with a probabilty of 0.222 event 3
2000 tons with a probabilty of 0.022 event 4
Thus event a has a probabilty of occuring, in event a, events 1to 4 can occur with their respective probabilties.
I assumed events 1 to 4 stay the same for all ships arriving (as we are dealing with multiple products, each product will have different parcel size distributions, however I look at products seperately, thus only one product is considered here)
This is simple for 1 or 2 ships, but as the number of ships increase the number of combinations become excessively large.
Should i use a macro that determines permutations/combinations? I am kind of clueless on this one.
If it helps to put the problem in context; I am trying to determine a demand distribution as input for a stochastic programming model
I'd like to count the most frequently occuring value in a cell. That's it basically.
Say you have the following (actual extract) in a single cell
17,18,58,59,18,59,1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9,11,12,13,14,15,16,17,18,19,20,21,22,23,24,25,26,27,28,29,30,31,32,33,34,35,36,37,38, 39,40,41,42,43,44,45,46,47,48,49,50,16,18,23,49,54,59,62,18,59
What formula can I use to show that the most commonly occuring value appearing is 18? [Possible values are 10 through to 99].
The source data for this is in fact a single row accross 5 columns and I concatenated it thinking that made things easier.
The original:
B11: 17,18,58,59
C11: 18,59
D11: 1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9,11,12,13,14,15,16,17,18,19,20,21,22,23,24,25,26,27,28,29,30,31,32,33,34,35,36,37,38,39,40,41,42,43,44, 45,46,47,48,49,50
E11: 16,18,23,49,54,59,62
F11: 18,59
Ideally the formula should take this (B11:F11) range as it's input (I can then spill it down 50-odd rows)
ps I have tried the following
=INDEX(B11:F11,MATCH(MAX(COUNTIF(B11:F11,B11:F11)),COUNTIF(B11:F11,B11:F11),0))
Unfortunately though the internet tells me this should work, the result I get back is 18,59 which is wrong because:
18 occurs 5 times
59 occurs only 4 times
I have an Array:
FALSE
TRUE
TRUE
FALSE
TRUE
FALSE
FALSE
TRUE
TRUE
my aim is to count the maximum occurrences in sequence of False statements before they are interrupted with a True ( in this case 2)
I can figure it out what method to use, Formulas or VBA? More precisely my VBA sucks I am trying to use excel functions by creating a counter with if() and then sum it but obviously it is a dead end.
Formula to identify the top 10 most frequently occurring numbers in column A.
View 4 Replies View Related1. First thing I am trying to do. I have a column of cells that have multiple values, some with text and some with no values at all. I want to be able to display in A1 the most commonly occurring text in cells C1:C15, and be able to display in B1 the number of times that A1 occurs in the same range. Below are the formulas that I am using. There are two problems that I am running into: First, the formula returns a #NA error if any of the cells in the range are left blank. Second, the formula counts the spaces or zeros, so if there are more blanks than the word “amber” then A1 returns “ ” and B1 returns the corresponding number.
A1
=INDEX(C1:C15,(MODE(MATCH(C1:C15,C1:C15,0))))
B1
=COUNTIF(C1:C16,A1)
2. Second thing I am trying to do. In A2 I want to display the second most commonly occurring text in the range, with it’s corresponding count in cell B2, and the third most in A3 and B3, etc
Illustration:
C1 Amber
C2 Red
C3
C4
C5
C6 Red
Desired result:
A1 "Red" B1 "2"
A2 "Amber" B2 "1"
Results with forumla as posted
A1 " " B1 "3"
I have a list of data that is the day of the month(1-31) that an event has occurred. (sample data in attachment) I want to find some way to find when the "hottest" time of the month is when the events are occuring.
how to get the end result. I think for myself a chart of some sort would be good to see visually, or some kind of statistical breakdown.
My only requirement is that the list is always being added to, so the end result needs to be updating with the complete list.
Im not an expert in excel, so the more details on how to do this the better. Even better would be creating it in the attachment, and uploading your version so I can see exactly how you did it.
I am going to be taking this idea and apply it in the same way for day of week (1-7) and time of day.
I am using a formula that finds the most frequently occuring text from a range of cells that have the text 'Ra' 'Ma', 'Mo' or 'Mi' in them (each cell has a drop down list with these text items only). I am currently using this formula to find which of the four text items appears most frequently in the range:
=INDEX(D6:D15,MATCH(MAX(INDEX(COUNTIF(D6:D15,D6:D15),0)),INDEX(COUNTIF(D6:D15,D6:D15),0),0))
This formula works fine in a case where there is more of one text item than any other, but when there are two items with the same number of entries, this formula comes back with the item that fulfils the criteria first - i.e. if 'Ra' appears 5 times and 'Mo' appears 5 times, then either could come back, depending on which appears first in the range.
The text items rate in importance with 'Ra' being the most important, then 'Ma', then 'Mo', then 'Mi' is the least important. What I am trying to do is, in cases where more that one text item appears the same number of times, get the formula to display the one that is the most important. So for example 'Ra' will always appear over 'Mo' if both have 5 entries, but 'Mo' will appear over 'Mi' if 'Mo' and 'Mi' both have the most entries.
I have 12,000 rows on my excel spread sheet of data and my average volume for all those days are 17,661,398.6
I noticed that the so called average did not show up not even once in all of the 12,000 rows. Thus I conclude that the average is not normal ? How to find & highlight the most frequently occurring number, the usual, and or the normal numbers?
I am useing Excel 2003 and OPC server client for excel, and i am monitoring 6 values, that are changeing each second. I was trying to make a function to collect this information, so i could form a statistic table, but unfortunally with no success.
I can watch how the values are changeing their numbers, but i cant sotre the values in the rows below. Does anyone know how can i do this
I have a few columns referencing Crash numbers. The majority of each column is a null value, with about 10-20% of it actually containing the number of a Crash. I want to run one MODE each on a column to see what the most common Crash is.
The following
=MODE(Table_X[Crash Alpha])
Results in a #N/A Value Not Available error. What do I need to change to make it work on the column with some nulls and some numbers (no strings)?
As a secondary question, if I wanted to apply a date filter (the columns are part of a table, including a Date column) like the below:
If(Table_X[DateTime]>F9,If(Table_X[DateTime]<F9+1, etc.)
(F9 being the location where my filter Date is)
Where would I apply that to the Mode? Should I just change it to an If statement, with the Mode positioned like so?
=If(Table_X[DateTime]>F9,If(Table_X[DateTime]<F9+1, MODE(Table_X[Crash Alpha]))
I have a horizontal bar chart in which some of the bars represent positive values and others represent negative values.
How to format the bars so the "positive" bars are shaded in one colour and "negative" bars in another colour? I'd prefer not to change the bar colour manually as the values change frequently.
I'd like to create a macro to display the top 5 most frequently occurring repairs on sheet 3 of my workbook. I'd like the macro to analyse all the sheets in my workbook except for the first 3 and then output the results on the 3rd sheet from T50 onward. I have attached a template as an example of how all the sheets in the workbook look (excluding the first 3).
All the sheets have the same layout as the "Survey Template" worksheet.The repairs are located under the Log Book Review of Historical Structural Repair in the Survey Template worksheet and all the repairs are picked through a drop down list that is based on a table of repairs listed in the Parts and Prices sheet within the workbook. I have assigned random serial numbers to the repairs (if that makes it any easier to code instead of locating exact string matches).

View 6 Replies View RelatedI have a excel worksheet with the following columns: First name, Last Name, Email address, domain of email, product type, date registered. The list consists of about 50,000 entries. I want to sort the list by the domain of email(which I am able to do already) Once this is done, I want to find all instances of where a domain appears at least 10 times on the list(such as webmessenger.com appears 40 times, so I want to get that data).
For those instances where the domain appears at least 10 times, I want to pull those rows out of the intial list and put them in a new list(the new list will be sorted by domain and will only have people who have a domain which appears at least 10 times). To make this a bit more clear, The initial list I have is a list of people who registered to use the software my employer makes. We are trying to locate companies which may have many people using our consumer version of the software. When there is a large amount of people in the same organization using our software, it would benefit them to upgrade to the enterprise version due to enhanced managment features. By running this filter, I can see which companies have at least 10 users registered to use our software. Of course I will remove any Gmail/yahoo mail/msn/hotmail... pretty much any public email domains and just leave the ones that are obviously corporate emails.
So far, I think it probably has to be done with a pivot table... I was able to get a table that tells me how many instances occur from each domain, but I cannot get it to display the actual data(it just says IE. company.com 200, yahoo 120, etc... I need it to show me the 200 rows of company.com emails and extract them to a new sheet so that I can then follow up with company.com and see if they are interested in the corporate version.)
I have a workbook that includes 4 seperate sheets that are used to record time and expenses for 4 members of staff. I want to write a macro to select the data I need from each sheet and colaberate together in a 'data' sheet so I can combine all the info to run time and expense reports per client showing combination of all time and expense incurred from all 4 staff.
I have named cell ranges in each of the 4 time-sheets. I proceed to record a macro, select the first named range, copy and paste into my data sheet, do a control home then control down arrow, then one more down arrow to get to the first blank cell and repeat the process for all four time-sheets.
This works until I add a new line and then the data will only appear for the last time-sheet (last row of data).
For mod formula (1,4) it returns 1. Why is that? I thought it's supposed to show the remainder. In this case there would be no remainder.

View 4 Replies View RelatedI have a formula that helps with stock and production control. However, the formula returns negative numbers in the opening stock column. Is there somehow the formula can return this value as zero if it is a negative number. This would help instead of having to change all negative numbers to a zero before any work with the numbers is started.

I'm basically looking for something almost like an inverse function to INDIRECT. This function would first look at a cell's formula as a text string, parse out the first valid cell reference in A1 format, and return that cell as a text string.
Detail: I have a spreadsheet with cells that point to other values. I would like to get only the row number from the first cell reference in the formula residing in a given cell. For example:
Suppose A1 has the formula =AL267. and A2 has the formula =SUM(AL94:AL235)
I would like a formula in B1 that returns the text string, "AL267" so that I would know this is the first reference.
Ideally it could be dragged down to B2 such that it returns the text string "AL94" (and not "AL235") because AL94 is the first cell reference in A2's
Currently I am copying the formulas after hitting ctl+` and pasting that text into a text editor, followed by text operations to manipulate the results into the desired values. Any solution that didn't involve going out to notepad.
In the estimate form I have attached, I want it to auto figure shipping by placing a X in front of shipping type. Which it is doing but how can I get it to show $0.00 instead of false when no X is placed in front.

if h5 = "Supply Only" or "Supply Only With IWA" then I5 should be "S/O" however if h5 = "Supply Only With Survey" or "Supply Only With Survey With IWA" then I5 should be "S/o & S"
h5 could also be "Supply & Fit" or "Supply & Fit With Iwa" which should return "S/F"
but if h5 = "Supply & Fit With Survey" or "Supply & Fit With Survey & IWA" then I5 should be "S/F & S"
I have rows with text and numbers. In order to ensure that the numbers are accurate, I have a "QC formula" that calculates a check using all of the numbers from 1 row. The challenge is that the "QC formula" needs to vary depending on a text value within the row.
How can I lookup up the text value and then return the correct active formula for that row? I have too many differet text values to do a nested If statement. see simplified example below.

I want this formula to return zero if it cannot match the value. Right now it is returning #N/A and i don't want that. I just want to return "0" if it can't match it.
