Grouping Same Values By A Number Sequence For A Column
Mar 13, 2013
I am trying to group the same values in columns together and i was thinking about having a number count. What's the function that might be able to display this (display whats in Column B in the example below)?
I am trying to fill a column with a number series starting with 1 whenever a value changes in the adjacent column. So for instance I am trying to do something like this :
there may even be an excel formula answer to it rather than a macro. Coloumn A has a series of numbers, I want column B to show those numbers in what would be there Descending Sequence.
Thus Col A 100 97 14 87 32 108 21
So with this routine you would then see
COL ACOL B10029731478743251081216 The above I suspect is not too difficult, however if two (or more) numbers are the same I want the sequence to reflect that thus COL A COL B100297 314 797 332 5108 121 6 and no... the data - Col A - cannot be sorted, it must stay in that sequence.
If possible I would want this done automatically when any Col A value changes (any unused cells would be 0 by the way). Oh, there will in fact be 25 cells in column A for this.
I am looking for a better way to determine if a column of values contains a sequence of consecutive matches. For example, column A contains single words. To determine if three consecutive cells contain the word "neuron", I enter in cell B3 the formula:
=IF(AND(A3="neuron",A3=A2,A3=A1),1,"")
And copy down. I then test column B to see if there are any non-blank cells.
If we want to change the word or the number of consecutive occurrences, I have to re-edit all the formulas in column B. I want to eliminate the helper column. I would like to put the word in B1, the number of consecutive occurrences in B2 and have a formula in B3 that will return either True or False.
I can do this with a UDF, but the user has rejected this option.
I have Excel 2003. I am trying to find the next number in a sequence of numbers. The number range is 1-59, and the sequence is 89 numbers that go like:
code number (as text) desired result date condition cost ($)
'1003
1 31/12/2000 1 5
[Code] ..........
if "code number", "date","condition" and "cost" the same line of rows so "desired result" = 1 like code "1003" or so code "1005" = 5, otherwise if there is a no match/same condition "desired result" start from = 2,3,4,etc.......
"A1" has a number containing "1000" I want column "B2" to choose the next number in sequence,(1001) so long as "A2" contains these letters "EHT". if it does not contain "EHT" i dont want excel to insert the number "1001" But if cell A3 contains, "EHT" I want the next number in sequence to be instered automatically... (1001, 1002, 1003")
I'm trying to set up an auto sequence number(col A) based on a date entry (col B) as in the example below. The sequence number should reset to 0001 each time the date in Col B changes.
Col A Col B 072306-0001 07/23/06 072306-0002 07/23/06 072306-0003 07/23/06 072406-0001 07/24/06
I have a list of dates in column A as shown below & I want to get a count formula in column B for the # of dates in sequence. When the date sequence breaks a new count should be done at the end of the next sequence. The formula should be 1 I can put in cell B1 and copy down so that there are blanks & a count is only done at the end of the date sequence like in cell B4 or B7 below.
Col A Col B Date Count 1 12-Oct 2 13-Oct 3 14-Oct 4 15-Oct4 5 17-Oct 6 18-Oct 7 19-Oct3
If I want to create a column of numbers, say 1 2 3 4 5, I can simply add +1 to the previous cell and then use "fill down" to generate my number sequence. How would one generate a column of numbers that repeat once? e.g.: 1 1 2 2 3 3 4 4 5 5, etc
I need to create a grouped sequence that changes every 10 rows.
So in Column A cell A2 the number would start at 01349 and every 10 cells it would decrease by 1 and go on down to 0 so it would look something like this:
I have in column AU cell 39 to cell 500 random sequences of 1-10 rows , with numbers in them, (as an result of formulas) I need to count the number of rows in each sequence that have numbers of 35 or less , but only up to the first number of 35 or higher. eg:-
How do I express the following as a formula for range f2:h2:
case 1 if any number is equal to 0 or 5, then 1 if any number is equal to 1 or 6, then 2 if any number is equal to 2 or 7, then 3 if any number is equal to 3 or 8, then 4 if any number is equal to 4 or 9, then 5
I have the following data: (The Dept can occur multiple times in Col B.)
Col A Col B Row 1
[Code]....
What I want to do I want to insert a formula in each row of Col A that returns a number that indicates if the Dept in Col B is the first occurrence of the Dept, the second occurrence of the Dept, etc.
I am trying to create a number counter which runs up to a value which is determined by a COUNTIF Statement in the spreadsheet. I can get the number counter to run to the given value. However, due do formatting reasons I do not want the counter to start in cell A1 but A3 instead.
Essentially my code looks like this: ... ActiveSheet.Cells(3, 1).Select Dim i As Integer For i = 1 To Range("A1") Cells(i, 1) = i Next i ...
This creates a sequential number column from 1-600. My problem lies when a new row is inserted, which is left blank. How can i maintain this auto function upon a new Row insertion?
I'm trying to set up a worksheet so that when i enter a number in say cell J5 it will automatically create a new worksheet with the next number in order so if cell J5 was 1500 it would create a worksheet named 1501.
2 sites are better than one, eh, cos i think this is very tricky. If anyone suggests a solution I'll ensure both sides are kept up to date to ensure nobody wastes their time.
I'm building a work schedule based on 12 hour days and I would like to separate a full weeks hours, 84 total, into the Regular hours and the Overtime hours that the employee will be paid. The way it is set up is I have 1 spread sheet that has the schedule for a full year (using "IN" as a working day and leaving the cell blank as a day off) and on a 2nd page I've set up with a COUNTIF formula to total the number of days worked (IN) during each pay period and then it multiplies the number of days by 12 to get the total hours.
Where I am having trouble is that the employees are paid Regular hours and OT hours in a single day and I don't know how to separate the total hours automatically into those two types of pay. For the first 5 days of their shift they are paid 8 hours of Regular time and 4 hours of OT time, and the last 2 days of the shift they are paid 12 hours of overtime. In a total of 7 days they will get 40 hours of Regular time and 44 hours of OT time.
To break this down into simple formulas, ie. (84 -40 = 44), won't work because if an employee works more than their 7 days the pattern they are paid restarts again with the 8 hours of Regular time and 4 hours of OT time and etc. (8 total days would be 48 hours of Regular time and 48 hours of OT time, max of 14 days per pay period).
Is there a formula out there that can break a number down in sequence (8-4-8-4-8-4-8-4-8-4-12-12) and total them in two different cells?
I have a sheet with hundreds of rows of customer information; including a 7 digit customer number. I need a macro to delete all the rows where the customer number sequence start with 1 thru 8 (that would be the first digit of the customer numbers).
I'm trying to write some VBA code to do the following (don't think its possible using formulas only). In column A i have a list of codes (A1:A32) in column B i have a value (between 1 and 32 in this case, but feasibly could be any integer) I am trying to achive an output in column C which would take the code from col A and then "count up to" the value in col B;- for example "AAA" in col A, and "4" in column B would return AAA1, AAA2, AAA3, AAA4 in column C. For the next code say BBB and corresponding value, would start its sequence in the next empty cell below AAA4 in col C.
