Lookup Functions Find The Address Of The Minimum Value In That Range


I have a range of cells (say A1:D8).
I wanna find the address (say $B$2) of the minimum value in that range.


This command does it but it only works on a column. it does not accept a range spanning more than one column.
=CELL("address",INDEX(B2:B7,MATCH(MIN(B2:B7),B2:B7,0)))
this will tell me the address of the minimum value.. but in a column... I need a range of many columns.

So I tried converting things to a Table.. but it never worked. basically the MATCH command is my problem. It only accepts single-column-ed ranges.

Conditional Count (Find The Minimum Value In The Range)
I am trying, without success, to create a formula that will refer to a column of data and do the following in one step:

1. Find the minimum value in the range, and then
2. From that minimum value, count back “up” the column the number of occurrences, including the minimum value, until a zero is reached. The zero should not be counted.

For example, if the values in A1:A6 are 1, 0, 2, -1, -2, 1, the minimum value is -2 and the count would return 3. (i.e. 2, -1 and -2)

Return Cell Address That Falls Within A Range Of A Custom Lookup Function
I am performing a lookup using the populare user defined function nlookup, which does not take a lookuparray argument to find lookup values. But I only want to return lookup values that fall into a certain array. To accomplish this, I figured out that I need a way to specify a condition of the type "if cell address of lookup value falls within range"

It should be possible if I find a way to return the cell address of the nlookup value, but as nlookup is not limited by a lookuparray argument, so I was not able to use the address/index/match that come up in similar questions.

Find Address Of MaxIF In A Range
I am having troubles with using two methods together. I know how to find the address of the first or last occurance of a MAX in a range. I also know how to create a MAXIF function using criteria to determine what to consider for the max calculation. I do not know how to return the address of the result from the MAXIF.

I am using Office 2003 on WinXP.

Ultimately I want to take the address of the first result of a MAXIF and use it to do a lookup for a corresponding value. I'm not sure if I will be able to do this with a combination of functions, or if I will need a macro.

Heres an example:

Data:
Time WeekNum Count
01:02 1 12
02:05 1 35
03:09 2 456
14:20 2 123
12:24 2 122
Usage:

Use the maxif lookup to return the time of the largest count for WeekNum 2

Result:
03:09

Conditional Average From Two Address Functions
I'm trying to calculate a monthly average from a set of daily values in a separate sheet. I managed to use some nifty code to return the address of the first value in the month, and the address of the last value in the month.

I tried to create an AVERAGE formula to compute the average between these two looked up address and I'm getting various errors, including #DIV/0 which doesn't make sense to me. Here is the summary of the code I'm using, in generic terms.

Formula to lookup first address in month:
=ADDRESS(MATCH(A57,'Sheet2'!$A$1:$A$2000,0),12,1,TRUE,"Sheet2")

Formula to lookup last address in month:
=ADDRESS(MATCH( DATE(YEAR(A57),MONTH(A57)+1,0),'Sheet2'!$A$1:$A$2000,0),12,4,TRUE,"Sheet2"))

Average formula (not working):

=AVERAGE(ADDRESS(MATCH(A57,'Sheet2'!$A$1:$A$2000,0),12,4,TRUE,"Sheet2")):ADDRESS(MATCH(DATE(YEAR(A57),MONTH(A57)+1,0),'Sheet2'!$A$1:$A$2000,0),12,4,TRUE,"Sheet2")))

A57 is the cell in Sheet1 containing the relevant month, for example in this case it is 4/1/2008 (displayed as Apr-2008). Column A in Sheet2 contains the daily dates. Column 12 in Sheet2 contains the relevant data that I want to average.

I've tested the two address lookup formulas and they are working fine. I assume I'm missing some sort of small conversion such that the average formula is not reading the ADDRESS formulas as addresses.

FIND Value In String Perform Lookup From Range
I have account information with 4-digit customer location identifiers beginning at character 9 and ending at character 12:

3600820040010500050006080000360082004004050005000503000036008200400105000500068900003600820040050500050006880000360082004001050005000402000036008200400105000500052320003600820040030500050005271000

No matter what changes in this string, these four digits (9, 10, 11 & 12) will always be in the same position.

What I would like to do is (I think) use the FIND funtion and then perform a VLOOKUP against an already defined table/range which identifies the actual location in the destination cell. Will FIND be the easiest for me to do this our should I use something else?

The what to interpret characters 9-12 (using 3600820040030500050005271000 as an example):

3600820040030500050005271000

4003 is the location information which consistantly breaks down:

4 = Region Name
003 = Office / City (001 thru 024)

There are 7 possible regions with 24 possible Offices/Cities. I want to believe I can make this lookup happen using VLOOKUP tables that break them down - but I just don't have the brainpower to identify those 4 digits and then break them out for a look up.

Nest Lookup With IF AND Functions
I have a spreadsheet that is by:

Purchase Date (column A)
Sales Date(column B)
Quantity(column C)
Name (column D)

The spreadsheet is sorted by name in ascending order and also by quantity in ascending order.

Assuming row 1 is the heading. If D2 (name)= the same as another D cell and it's quantity i.e. C2 is negative, while the other D cell with the same name as D2 has a positive quantity i.e. corresponding C cell, and if the date in B2 is greater than date in column A of the other cell where it's D cell matches D2 and has a positive quantity, then in I would like "possible" to display in F2.

I have included an attachment to better illustrate what I have described above, because I am not sure if I am clear enough.

Find Minimum Value Corresponding To Maximum Value
I am having trouble with large data sets of rents by market: trying to find the peak rent in a time-series, and then look for the next trough rent in time. I tried using the Newsletter 3 techniques which feels like the right direction, but I am not getting the nesting right or some of the parameters in the functions.

So, within each time-series I need to find the MAX value (peak rent), wherever that is in the array. Then I need to look to the right of that exact MAX value and find the exact MIN value (trough rent), whereever that is in the array (again, to the right of the MAX value).

A small sample of what the data set looks like:

Find Minimum Value From A Data Group
I have been trying to solve this problem for the past couple of weeks and I have not been able to do so. I have come to do the operation manually, and it really takes a lot of my time, so if you guys could help me, I would really appreciate it.

Basically the problem is this:

In column "A" I have what I call point numbers for all the data entries.

In column "B" I have the station (or location) at which I vary slightly a parameter (represented by column "E") to give me a value shown in column "D" (the "Z" value, as shown in the sheet).

So basically you can see that my station 0 has 11 different "E" parameters (0, -1, -2.62, -5, etc) and each of them has a "Z" parameter (390.76, 390.775, etc).

What I am trying to do is to come up with a table that shows a summary of the following:

A column with each of the stations (0, 20, 40, etc -- notice that I have some weird numbered stations like 411.89).

Another column with the "E" parameter corresponding to the lowest (or minimum) "Z" parameter within the station range.

And a final column with the minimum "Z" parameter corresponding to its "E" parameter, which is included in the station range

You can see in yellow the way I have been doing this and you can see that it would take me so much time to accomplish the task.

What I want to do is to first look at the names in the report to see if one of those people are listed in the summary(this can be done by lookup, I think). Then go to a different column on the same row as the person. So, for example, "person1" is in a14, then the macro will select the cell say... g14.
