Formula For Comparison Of Data

Jul 28, 2009

I have a spreadsheet and I'm comparing data from a room booking system and a spot check on the room to see whether it's actually used. I have a column which I want to show whether the information agrees.

column G - I have a group size recorded that should be in a room.
column H - I have "yes" or "no" as to whether there was anyone in the room when it was checked
column I - I have the size of the actual group in the room.

Is it possible to create a formula that will fill in column J with the answer yes or no depending on whether it agrees.

It doesn't matter whether the groups sizes match, it's just a case of yes, someone was booked into the room and there was someone in when it was checked

OR

No, there was a booking supposed to be in the room but there was no one in it when checked

OR

There was no booking but there was someone in the room when checked.

COUNTIF Formula - Time Comparison

Sep 28, 2012

I am putting together an email reporting template in Excel that pulls in data from various sheets. The reason I'm doing this is because we need to brand the reports as our own, but our email service provider doesn't offer this capability. As a result, I have the report template saved on one worksheet, and I have copied and pasted other bits of the report that I need onto other sheets.

I need to create an area graph of the number of recipient opens against time (a response graph basically). So along the X axis I will have time periods (0-1 hours, 1-2 Hours up to 1-2 Days, 2-3 Days etc). Along the Y axis will be the number of recipients who opened the email within that particular timeframe. I can produce the graph easily enough when the data is in front of me, however, getting the data in the right format is proving tricky.

The list of open times is stored in column 'D' on a sheet called 'OPEN TIMES'. The reference time (time the email was sent) is stored in cell 'A60' of sheet "Full Report". As I see it, I should be able to use a COUNTIF formula to total the number of opens that meet a criteria (within a certain timeframe). So, this is the formula I tried:

=COUNTIF('Open Times'!D:D,('Open Times'!D:D

Complex Multiple Cells Comparison Formula

Jan 16, 2014

I've tried some of the basic formulas, but this is beyond me.

I have table A of 500 rows and need to compare it to table B of 2000 rows.

A
B
C
D
E

1
D6 - 1.01
Table with PC
3
Yes

2
D6 - 1.01
Bookshelf
4
No

[Code] .......

For example with these two, from the second table to the first. IF column B equal to column and the corresponding column C equal to the corresponding column C, return for example "yes". Then I need to check the same thing for the corresponding other columns, but basically everything would be tied to B and C. The problem is the second table, larger one, is basically all over the place, I could manage to do this if we would be talking equal length tables, but I do not know what formulas I could use to check further down a row once we find an equal value.

Comparison Formula - Including Inherent Errors

Oct 5, 2009

I have two columns that I want to compare - but one of them is the result of a VLOOKUP - so it may actually contain the #N/A error - how can I compare them so that:

if col 1 agrees with col 2, then "yes" is returned
if col 1 does not agree with col 2 but the VLOOKUP in col 2 has NOT returned an error (so it's still a valid comparison) then "NO" is returned
if col 2 shows a VLOOKUP #N/A error then "NO" is returned

or, perhaps more straightforwardly:

Col 1 = ABC, col 2 = ABC then return "YES"
Col 1 = ABC, col 2 = DEF then return "NO"
Col 1 = ABC, col 2 = #N/A then return "NO"

Comparison Formula To Return Difference In Quantity

Nov 13, 2013

i am comparing 2 inventories, they contain the same information. I have included these on 1 sheet

Column A: Part numnber Inventory 1
Column B: Stock number Inventory 1
Column C: Quantity Inventory 1

Column E: Part numnber Inventory 2
Column F: Stock number Inventory 2
Column G: Quantity Inventory 2

I need a formula that says: If column B = column F, return the difference, if any, of Coulmn C - Column G to Column H

The data is not going to be inline, so B1 is not necessarily going to = F1

Simple Date Comparison Formula - When Two Dates Are Equal To Each Other

Feb 10, 2014

Report I generate once a month that checks to see if tasks are done on or before their due date. Sometimes it works, and others it doesn't...

The basic formula is: [Code] .....

If they closed their task by or before the due date, the condition should be true and it should output "Compliant" beside their task. Otherwise their "Over Due".

The forumla works except when they close their task ON the due date. No matter how I tweak the forumla, it thinks the condition is false as if it cannot tell when the two dates match.

Excel 2003 :: SUMPRODUCT Date Comparison Formula

May 7, 2014

The following formula works perfectly in Excel 2003:

=SUMPRODUCT((A2:A10="A")*(b2:b10="B")*(c2:c10="C"))

However, I've got a fourth column that contains either a date or a blank cells; I want to limit the formula to only include certain dates in the sum. i.e:

=SUMPRODUCT((A2:A1000="A")*(b2:b10="B")*(c2:c10="C")*(d2:d10>="01/04/2014"))

Rather than an error it's just retuning an incorrect number.

Display 2 Or More Rows Of Data For Comparison

Dec 18, 2013

I have a database with 65536 rows and A-BZ columns

What I am wanting to do is, on another worksheet be able to select identifying data from one or more columns from the database but have it display the entire row.

For example

WCP28 SX

WCP28 TX

WCT36 SX

WCT36 TX

In this example I would like to, on another worksheet, be able to create a drop down where I could select WCP28 and it would show me both the TX and SX row. Or I would like to be able to select WCP28 SX and WCT36 SX and see the rows next to each other. If it were for me I would just use the auto filter and manually compare but this is for somebody even less inclined than I am.

How Do I Lookup Data With Two Comparison Values

Dec 2, 2005

I would like to insert a function in spreadsheet A that looks up data in
spreadsheet B based on _two_ comparison values.

The two comparison values in spreadsheet A would always be in the same row
and the corresponding match in spreadsheet B would also have to be in the
same row.

For instance, if the comparison values in cells A2 and B2 of spreasheet A
match with the comparison values in cells A30:B30 of spreadsheet B, then
show the value that is in column C30 of spreasheet B.

VBA Code For Column Data Comparison?

Mar 17, 2014

Excel macros. I'm trying to figure out a script that will look at alphanumeric numbers in column A (A2 --> for example) and compare it to the number directly below it and above it. If it matches either, do nothing, but if it is different, delete the entire row that the different number resides on.

An example of the data would be:

A

12A34A5
12A34A5
67F86F3 - when it encounters these rows I need to delete.
23G45G6
23G45G6

The sheet is a couple thousand lines in length, so I can't deal with it manually or even with sorts, due to the other data in the other columns.

Chart Type For Data Comparison

Oct 23, 2006

I am trying to figure out a way in excel to graph some data I have in a new, sophisticated type of chart. My data is new square foot sales divided by new square feet (for a retail store). It is a dollar amount. I also have this data as a percentage change year over year. If I want to compare two stores with different data -- what would be the best way to present it on a chart. Is there a way to show this on a 3-D plane so that both companies have the data in the same chart up against each other?

Validate/Flag Data By Comparison

May 7, 2008

I have some data stored in a database and when it is extracted into excel each entry's data is presented in both horizontal and vertical formats. e.g.

Entry1 value1 value2 value3
value4
value5
value6
Entry2 value1 value2 value3
value4
value5
value6
I have a macro that will transpose the vertical data into horizontal format but if there are not the expected number of 'value' items below the entry it will not work correctly. If in the above example Entry2 only had value4 and value5 below it the macro would fail.
What I need is a way to validate that each entry has the correct number of values below it before the macro is run and some way of highlighting or drawing attention to these problems.

Match Data To Imported Data For Comparison

Jun 27, 2008

I want to be able to do, however. I want to make a spreadsheet that has all the equipment items preloaded into it, along with the quantity that we're supposed to have of said equipment. Then, I would like to import the data from the text file, having it match items in the spreadsheet to their equivalent in the imported text file, and then bring in the quantity scanned. That way, I can use some conditional formatting to show when there is a miss match between "Required" and "On-Hand" quantities.

What I don't know how to do, is get Excel to only import the name of the item, and the quantity scanned, instead of all of the information that the scanner spits out. Also, I don't know how to make it match the name, with the one preloaded into the spreadsheet, so that the correct quantities are matched up. Here's an example of what the scanner spits out: FIELD WIRE,6145-01-155-4256,[Scanned Quantity Goes Here],N/A,N/A,RESPONSE TRAILER,,

The scanner creates records like this the first time you scan an item. So if you scan Field Wire first, it's the first record. However, if you scan it fourth, it's the fourth record. How do I make that match up with a predesigned spreadsheet?

IF Comparison Function Not Returning Correct Data

Jan 24, 2014

I'm trying to compare three formula results and return the largest number. Ex.:

2217922

The first three numbers are formula results and the last is the following formula:

=IF(O5>P5,O5,IF(P5>Q5,P5,Q5))

Unfortunately, with the list below, you can see the last number (the comparison formula) isn't always the greater of the three:

2217922
2017920
01799
01399
01399
01299
01299
01299
01299
01199
01199
01099
0088
0077
0077

I've also tried other formulas, with no success:

=LARGE(O5:Q5,1)
=MAX(O5:Q5)
=IF(MAX(O5:Q5)=O5,O5,IF(MAX(O5:Q5)=P5,P5,IF(MAX(O5:Q5)=Q5,Q5,"Error")))

What's odd is that if I create the formulas above independent of the specific formula data (O5, P5, and Q5) and just type in numbers, those formulas do exactly what they should. Can I not compare data returned though formula calculations?

Date Formula With Variable Date & Comparison Operator

May 14, 2008

I have a date in cell A1. I have an operator in cell A2. This info is then merged in to cell A3 with the following formula: =A2&TEXT(A1,"dd/mm/yyyy"). My data range is called "wc_date_of_loss". I want to use this info in a SUMPRODUCT formula (as the dates and operators can be changed by the end user). What's the correct syntax for that?

=SUMPRODUCT(--(wc_date_of_loss&A3))
=SUMPRODUCT(--(wc_date_of_loss=A3))
=SUMPRODUCT(--(wc_date_of_loss=TEXT(A2&A1,"general,dd/mm/yyyy")))

Comparison Of The Two Lines?

Feb 19, 2014

I have two rows of data, each row also have similar data. I need to find the number of matches that the two lines For example :

7,7,K,A,8,7
K,6,7,7,A,9

To reach the conclusion I need to build six such functions:
=1*(COUNTIF($A$65:$F$65,A66)>=COUNTIF($A66:A66,A66))
=1*(COUNTIF($A$65:$F$65,B66)>=COUNTIF($A66:B66,B66))
=1*(COUNTIF($A$65:$F$65,C66)>=COUNTIF($A66:C66,C66))
=1*(COUNTIF($A$65:$F$65,D66)>=COUNTIF($A66:D66,D66))
=1*(COUNTIF($A$65:$F$65,E66)>=COUNTIF($A66:E66,E66))
=1*(COUNTIF($A$65:$F$65,F66)>=COUNTIF($A66:F66,F66))

The result is 4

Is there a single formula that will give the result ?

Another question, is there a formula that I can compare to the principle of one line against the 20 lines ?

If, Then Comparison With Result

Jun 12, 2009

Compare 2 columns of data and have a new 3th column tell me the result of the query based on some conditional information. So, here's an example.

Column A = Programmer Assigned (Yes/No)
Column B = Project State (concept, plan, develop, qualify, rollout, etc)

I'd like to compare the values in A to B and have the formula tell me if the programmer should be assigned in that phase or not. So, in english.

If A = No, then look to see if B = "develop" or "qualify", if it does, populate C with "Update required". If it doesn't, populate with "Correct".

I hope I explained it well enough for you all to help. I originally looked into using conditional formatting to just format the cell differently if I needed to perform an action.

Comparison Macro

Oct 24, 2008

to compare the values of data on one sheet (sheet1) with that of another (sheet2) to see if there has been any changes between the sheets over the previous week. If a macro could go through my data on sheet1, compare cell-by-cell the data that's in sheet 2 and highlight in red font any cells that have different values that would be awesome.

The macro would need to leave the "fill color" of the cell as it was.
