Lookup First Three Instances
Jan 26, 2009
With the following formula, I can lookup all instances of D2 and get the average of all its corresponding values in column A (see attached). But how do I lookup a specified number of instances (say the first three) and get the average for those values in column A? For now, we’ll just have to assume that there are more than three instances of D2 on the worksheet I attached.
=AVERAGE(IF($B$2:$B$26=$D$2, $A$2:$A$26))
Would the numbers need to be in an order by date to lookup just the first three instances?

I have four columns, Play Date, 1st, 2nd, 3rd.
I have a total of 364 rows of data for this table.
My output table looks like the following:
{mod note - HTML not working and removed}
What I want the output from a formula(???) to do is put every 'Play Date' for each 1st, 2nd, & 3rd column for every number from 0 to 9. So under Column A for zero and 1st I want every date that is listed in the source table in column 1st to list out. All I can get is the first instance of a date and nothing else.esn't use that would be great.
FYI the formula that I used to get the one entry in column A row 4 was this:
=INDEX($AK$4:$AK$367,MATCH($A$2,$AL$4:$AL$367,0))

So I know vlookup wont work for this, I could do an array index but that wouldn't easily return exactly what I need.
I have two sheets in the same book. One has three columns
Area
Room
ID
A-1
1101
BG11
A-1
1101
BG12
A-2
1102
BG12
The other has a bunch of columns with different information for the ID field
ID
INFO
INFO
INFO
ETC...
[Code]....
Sheet1 with the three columns will often have multiple rows for the same ID z with different room/area infor. Sheet2 only has one instance of each ID.
What I would like is something, either macro or in a straight formula that will merge both of these. I'd like to add the Area and Room columns to the second sheet (or merge everything into a third sheet) while keeping all the other info and having repeating lines if the ID shows up more than once.
Result:
ID
AREA
ROOM
INFO
INFO
INFO
[Code].....
I explained this well enough

I'm using WinXP with Excel 2003 - I have a column of highway sign description data (16k+ rows).
Example:
Curve Arrow Right
Curve Arrow Left
Turn Arrow
Reversing Curve Arrow Right
Winding Road Arrow(plus many more unique entries)
I'm using SUM and COUNTIF to total the number of times "Curve", "Reversing", "Turn" and "Winding" appear in the column.
My formula is:
Code: =SUM(COUNTIF($F11:$F16196,{"*CURVE*","*REVERSING*","*TURN*","*WINDING*"}))
Which works great EXCEPT what I really want is the number of cells with any of those key words, not the total count of those words. The example above should be 5, but since row four contains more that 1 of the key words I'm getting 6.

I have a large dataset with a company name in Column A and a Town in Column B, e.g.
ABC Company London
ABC Company London
XYX Company Swindon
STJ Company Bristol
STJ Company Bristol
STJ Company Bristol
DEF Company London
DEF Company London
DEF Company London
and I need to identify every instance where the same town appears for each instance of each individual company and add in Column C incrememnt the town name, so the above should end up looking like this:
ABC Company London London
ABC Company London London-1
XYX Company Swindon Swindon
STJ Company Bristol Bristol
STJ Company Bristol Bristol-1
STJ Company Bristol Bristol-2
DEF Company London London
DEF Company London London-1
DEF Company London London-2
I'm thinking I need to use some sort of lookup, but because of the volume of the instances of each company I have no idea how many instance appear in the data set. How could I go about achieving this and incrementing the town names in Column C automatically for each instance?

I have text strings containing 3 commas at all times (see below for example). All instances of the commas are names at either end of the comma (Last, First). My request is how would I be able to retrieve *only* the 2nd and 3rd names (in separate cells) and omitting the rest of the text?
Example:
A1 - Source
2/1/2010 Random - Text - Containing 1LastName, 1FirstName 2LastName, 2FirstName 3LastName, 3FirstName Some Other Text 555555556 1234567890 1 0 0
B1 - Requested
2LastName, 2FirstName
C1 - Requested
3LastName, 3FirstName

What I want to do today is, I want to get the extension (Type) of a file from the string. I have managed to get formula for that.
PHP Code:Â
=IFERROR(RIGHT(C12,LEN(C12)-FIND(".",C12)+1),"")Â
But the problem is, if the name of the file also have any dots, it is not giving correct result.
For Eg, if the string is ABCD_V1.0.mpp, I am getting 0.0.mpp not .mpp
NB: The file name may or may not have dots. So cannot tell that, it is always the second instance. Need to find the last dot and trip the things before that

Basically, I have a table with rows as person, and variables as features. If a person meets a feature, the that cell writes 'X', now, I hope to create a master variable that capture all the features, basically counting how many features a person has met. For example, Joe has three features; "have balls," "cool guy", "good with ladies". In the cell in question would be "X" "" "X". And if I count, then it should be 2.

I have four different sheets with email addresses in an excel file. There are some email addresses which are present in more than one sheet. I wanted to find these email addresses and remove its multiple instances.
I can't use the simplified version of vlookup, as I can't enter each email address to see if there is another instance.
Is there a way where the excel sheet can search within itself for duplicate values and if not delete/at least point them out, so that I can delete them manually?

I am having trouble pasting between two spreadsheets in different instances of Excel.
I am copying a range of cells and then attempting to paste using ctrl + v/ right-click + paste in a workbook in the other instance of excel. It just selects the area where the cells would be pasted but nothing appears.
The only way I can get it to work is by using the clipboard task pane and clicking paste from there however this isn't a long term option as I need to code this into a macro. I also don't understand why there is a difference between pasting from the clipboard panel and pressing 'ctrl v'.
There are not macros running at the time and pasting into another program e.g. notepad works fine.

I'm using the following code which is working well. It finds an instance of the string "A83". Once it finds it, it moves down x number of cells and populates it with a new string. It then moves down another x number of cells and populates it with another new string, etc.
The problem is, it is only looking for "A83" one time and performing the appropriate actions at that point. What I need to do is look for *every* instance of the string "A83" and perform the appropriate actions.

I want to return the 2nd field for Jim in a single list:
Jim Dell
Jeff HP
Carl Compaq
Jim Toshiba
Carl Sony
Jim Lenovo
Jeff IBM
I want to pull Jim's accounts to another worksheet:
HP
Toshiba
Lenovo
When I use vlookup, it just returns HP and stops. How do I tell it to
return the next instance of Jim?

I have a problem, I have a formula which counts the number of instances that occur and assigns the value as 1 for every instance, however I want the formual to also recognise that if a number of instances occur in succession a value of 1 should also be assigned.
E.g. if a person is absent for 1 day the formula assigns a value of 1
if a person is off for 3 days in succession the formula assigns a value of 1

I am trying to copy a range from one workbook to another. The complex part is that the the two workbooks are different instances of excel and one of them is hidden.
In the below code inSheet is a worksheet on a work book that is hidden.
Code:
batchSheet.Select
Range("K" & lr).Resize(1, 10).Copy
inSheet.Select
inSheet.Range("O7").Select
Selection.PasteSpecial Paste:=xlPasteAll, Operation:=xlNone, SkipBlanks:= _
False, Transpose:=True
A formula like this is working fine. The above gives me an error.
Code:
inSheet.Range("C16") = batchSheet.Range("D" & lr)

In a cell i need this info when
column a = month
column o = staff member
column m = discount given
if no discount is given column m will show 100%
i need the total of all sales made with a discount i.e not 100% and not blank, in a certain month, by a certain member of staff
step 2: i need the average of all these for each member of staff shown in a different cell
i already have the total sales counted per staff member so this will show me who is doing deals and who is doing the biggest deals.

I would like to count the number of instances of different schedules shows in one department. For example for dept. 1, I would like to know how many different schedules are in that dept. I have 48 schedules and 60 departments (numbered 1-60). I would like to know how many "different schedules" dept 1 has and so on. I don't think the frequency function will work. Is there a way I can use sumproduct to get the result I'm looking for? The information is on a separate worksheet in colums (Col. A holds the dept and Col. B holds the relative schedule).

40,000 rows,
Column A is a Port Code . . . always 4 digits
Column B is a 2 digit code representing a mode of of transportation.
I did it the "brute force" way of concatenating the two columns into column C, then sorting and subtotalling column C . . . .

Using Excel2007 / Vista
Weekly I receive commission payment data. Essentially 2 columns, Col A the client name, Col B the commission amount. I like to sort the data so that I have a total commission amount for each client
Firstly I sort the 2 Cols alphabetically. Where there is only one instance of a client name, the total commission is obvious.
But any client can appear several times (anything up to 6) with corresponding commission amounts for each name occurrence.
One week a client may not appear at all, or they may appear from 1 to 6 times.
I seek a formula which, where there are multiple instances of the same client name. will total all the commission payments for that client. Naturally the formula can be in a new Col.

I just installed excel 2007 and encounter a strange problem. When I open 2 or more excel instances from windows explore by double-clicking excel icons, those instances are not linkable, they seem absolutely independent to one another (in View/switch windows only sees one workbook). However when I open second file from within the first instance (Ctrl+O), I see 2 in the view/switch windows and it works fine.

I have two workbooks, a "vehicle workbook" and an "Oil sample" workbook. I'm trying to write a macro that will store the ID of the vehcile in "vehicle workbook" into a varible, open the Oil sample workbook and find instances of the vehicle ID in column B. Next it will copy the entire row, and paste it back into the "vehicle workbook". I've taken some code and modified it to try and make it work but I'm running into problems. I'm very much a newbie to excel and macro's and am learning little by little. This is what I have so far...
Option Explicit
Sub btnFind_Click()
Application. ScreenUpdating = False
Application.EnableEvents = False
Dim vehicleNumber As Variant
Dim sourceLocation As String
Dim sourceFileName As String
Dim fileName As String
Dim vehicleFileName As String
'referencing the workbook location of the vehicle
vehicleFileName = ActiveWorkbook.FullName
MsgBox (vehicleFileName)
'copying the vehicle number into memory ie.EFQRTS67WZ100121
vehicleNumber = ActiveSheet. Range("A13").Value.....................

I have a column of IDs (260, 266, 405, 437, etc.). There are several instances of the same ID throughout the column. I would like to remove all but one instance of an ID so that I see what IDs I have. Is there a way to identify what IDs are there and then remove all but one of them?

I have a 2 page excel book, 2003, that runs a vlookup off a list from the 2nd page of the workbook. It is a long listing of information. It returns successful info in most of the cases, but in some instances it returns #n/a in one instance where it returned the correct info in others as in:
12345 = dog
12346 = cat
12345 = #n/a
Some instances don't report the corerct info at all while others only report the correct info some of the time like above where 12345 = dog and in some cases it doesn't turn out dog as the anser to the vlookup.

What I'm trying to do is input a formula in col G which will look for instances of the city named in col F in both cols A and C. This should then return the total of these, from cols B and D that have the letter "F", into col H. Therefore, in the attached example, cell G2 would return "1", G3 would be "0" etc.
Should I be using VLOOKUP or COUNTIF, or maybe a combination of these or something totally different?CityCodeCount.xls

I have a spreadsheet where cells L4 W4 have headers (no spaces in this range), e.g. Cust1, Cust2, Cust3 etc... etc...
Column C contains product names ....
Each product will have a value under each heading (but not all), e.g. Product A = Cust1:10 Cust2(blank) Cust3:4 Cust4(blank) etc... etc...
What I need is a formula that looks along the row for each product and returns the header name if there is a value. Therefore, in the example above the formula result would be Cust1Cust3 ....

This is a good deal harder than my last issue. I have a few pieces of data:
A62:A80 - Array of Integers named X (2 through 20, to be exact)
D62:D80 - Array of Strings named Y (on a Drop Down)
AD45, AG45, AJ45 - Formula Holders
Now the tough part of explaining what I want... assume the string in question is "Pie":
If Y contains "Pie" once, I want AD45 to take the value of the corresponding X.
If Y contains "Pie" twice, I want AD45 to take the value of the first X, and AG45 to take the value of the second.
If Y contains "Pie" three times, I want AD45 to take the value of the first X, and AG45 to take the value of the second, and AJ45 to take the value of the third.
So, in the end, the formula holders will either have a number between 2 and 20, or be blank. Note that it is possible for users to put more than 3 occurrences in Y even if it's user error.
I'm not really asking for the full formulas, but I simply don't know where to start on this, on what functions would be useful in pulling out the values I want.
One idea I had is that:
AD45 searches the array for "Pie" and takes the first value of "X" that matches the find. Blank if it doesn't.
AG45 checks if AD45 is not blank, and searches the array for "Pie" starting at the next index.
AJ45 checks if AG45 is not blank, and searches the array for "Pie" starting at the next index.
