Named Formula To Return The Nth Largest Value From Range
May 19, 2009
I have a named range which refers to: =MATCH(LARGE($G$5:$G$68,ROW(G5)-4),G$5:G$68,0)+4. It is supposed to find the largest figure in the adjacent column, list its row in cell H5, then the second largest for cell H6 and so on until the end of the data. The data in column G is dynamic and some cells will contain "0" with certain sections of data thus why I need a formula and cannot just use sort each time.
My problem is that when I use the formula as a named range I get "#N/A" and when I evaluate the formula I will get the answer but in array brackets (e.g.{17}) before the final step turns it to "#N/A". The formula will work fine if inputted directly into the cell but as the same formula will be used over three columns and numerous rows I would much prefer to use a named range.

I tried a few searches for what I need but I think my wording might be off or there isn't anything on it yet. So the formula I'm looking for is: I have a single colum of say 700 rows with random values in each. I would like to average rows 1 to 15 then 2 to 16 then 3 to 17.... all the way through to 686 to 700. Now out of all that I need only the highest 15 period average value returned. Seemed simple until I tried to do it. Whats that saying, the idea is 1% of the invention..

I'm looking for a formula to enter within a particular cell which will return the largest number that appears within a range of cells, for example the range H:133 through L:136. If it's any easier, only one number will appear within the range, though it could appear in any cell within that range.

I'm logging failed password attempts and need to find the latest time logged for a single user (when user has failed 5 times).
So the 5th attempt, I need that time
So the usual - Application.UserName in the next free cell in a range and time stamp in the next cell.
What I've tried is:
Say log range is A1:B500 and
A=Username, B=Time stamp
In column C I've nested the two together
(this has more code but not required to get this working)
In C1
Code:
=A1&" "&"live"&" "&B1
So this will bring back "Username live 23:12:12". Now, say there is 5 of these (all with different times)
How do I find the latest time for that user?
Code:
IF(COUNTIF("USERNAME LIVE"&"*")=5,[find the latest time in that list",""
Just to wind you up some more, other users name will be logged and muddled up so it's literally -
"Excel - if a user has failed 5 times then give me the time of the 5th attempt"
I've tried a mixture of COUNTIF, MAX, LARGE, TIMEVALUE(...)

how to get the value of a cell by its name. For example, i give cell B2 Name "Hello" and value "2". how to use vba to get the value of 2 using its name 'Hello', but not the cell 'B2'. Somethings people delete and add rows or columns and using range may lost the right value.

I have four named ranges (Segment, Keyword, Impressions and Dropdown) and I would like to create a formula-based ranking of keywords by impressions and clicks. Using the following array formula, I am able to return the correct values for impressions or clicks:
{=LARGE(IF(Segment=DropDown,Impressions),$H7)} where $H7 is the number ranking 1, 2, 3 etc.
My question is what array formula could be used to find which row in the array returned that number and then pulls the data from the same row in the other named ranges?
Essentially find row of {=LARGE(IF(Segment=DropDown,Impressions),$H7)} but return Keyword and Clicks on that row.
Other Notes: I cannot use pivot tables and some values might be the same which would make Vlookups not accurate for duplicate values.
Link to an example document to clarify this. [URL] .......

=LARGEST(overview!$AB5:$AL5;11)
I'm using this formula to look up a certain value in "overview" sheet, is there a way to not show the result in this cell but show as result the cell in the same column in row 3?

I have a named range that expands and contracts based upon the amount of data that is in some column. Call it AllData_UsedRange.
I have another named range that actually refers to a range. Call it AllData.
Column A
Row2 56
Row3 44
Row4 65
AllData is a named range that refers to the range A2:A65536
AllData_UsedRange refers to A2:A4 by way of this formula.
=OFFSET(AllData,0,0,COUNTA(AllData))
How to I obtain an address of AllData_UsedRange in VBA code?
These do not work...
ThisWorkbook.Names("AllData_UsedRange").RefersToRange.Address
Evaluate(ThisWorkbook.Names("AllData_UsedRange"))

I am trying to create a graph for a range of data that updates monthly (adding an extra month each time). I wanted the graph source data to update automatically each time the data is refreshed so used an OFFSET formula to identify a named range. I then point the graph to the named range as the source data.
When I enter the range as the source data the graph picks it up. However, when I re-enter the source data option on the graph it has converted the named range into a cell written range (ie. replaces "=QUALITY" with "='Front page'!$B$7:$J$10" - which therefore will not update when the range increases.

In the attached sheet there is a list of horse runs in time order with the latest at the bottom..col C contains the rating for each run. I need a formula to fill down col d and e. Col d is to contain the rating of its previous run and column e the rating of its second last run. for example row 21 ..I have filled in manually Autumn charms last run had a rating of 116 and its second last run was 122..filled in in cell e21. if a horse has not ran(is now shown previously..above in column e..just leave the cols d and e blank...

I've a column that contains numerical values. In my vba code, I have to select a block of cells at a time and get the row which has the maximum value.
One lame approach I am doing is wasting another column that extracts the max from the block of cells using Excel's Max function, and then doing a iterative search in the numerical column to get the cell tht contains the max value, and from it get the row number
Is there a better way such tht i can avoid the looping?
so in a nutshell, i want to get the row number from a range of cells that contains the maximum value

I've a two column dataset with one column for person name and one column for sales.
I'm trying return the nth largest value where the person name equals the value in a referenced cell.
My dataset may grow or shrink over time so I'm trying to avoid array formula.
Basically I'm looking for something like the below that actually works.

how I can return the largest letter from an array of letters? e.g. if the array is "A,B,C,D,H,K,L,O,P", the value returned would be P. Kind of like a MAX function, but for letters instead of numbers.

I am making a pilot logbook and I need a formula which gives me the date of my last flight per aircraft type.
Colum 1 is the date of the flight
Colum 2 is the aircraft type
Each row is one flight
I tried lots of things (IF, LARGE, MAX, SOMPRODUCT,...) but nothing works.

Lets say that B2:B100 contains a list of numbers, and it is named RANGE1
Is it possible to make by using any formula -another named range (RANGE2) based on the first but contains every 2nd or third cell of the original range.
The solution must avoid creating another column - it has to be one formula that can be used as new named range in any application (chart series...etc.)

I'm using the LOOKUP function to find the largest number and then return the name from a different column, it looks like this:
=LOOKUP(LARGE(round1!$F$2:$F$65,1),round1!$A$2:$A$65)
but all I get is hashN/A?

I want to be able to do is to have a text value in a cell which will be the same as a named range and can be called from a formula in another cell. For example, I have three named ranges: JAN, FEB and MAR. Instead of having a formula which might read: =VLOOKUP("bill", JAN, 1, 1)
I would like to have in cell A1 the text value "JAN" so that the formula can read:
=VLOOKUP("bill", A1, 1, 1)
Then I can change which named range is used in the formula but changing the value in cell A1. When I try to do this, the formula just looks up the value as if cell A1 was the range rather than taking the value from A1 as the named range.

How would I return a cell reference (address) to a cell that contains the largest number in a list?
I tried using "Address(large....) where I get the correct column, but the returned row # is the actual value in the cell (the highest # in the list).
I eventually will want to delete the highest number to leave the cell blank.

I know I've asked before but I can neither find my previous question or the answer.
So, once again.... is it possible to refer to a named range in a CSE array formula?
I know how I would type a formula that way -- but I would be happy to see an example.
Most importantly, will it always work? Or are there pitfalls and dangers?

I have as the two logical operators for an IF function the following COUNTA calculation which checks how many blanks are in the range GrdMtx7 and subtracts this from the value in E5 and adds the suffix "Module(s)".
Code:
(E5-COUNTA(GrdMtx7)-1)&" Module(s)",(E5-COUNTA(GrdMtx7)&" Module(s)")))
GrdMtx7 is a non-contiguous range consisting of the following cell references on a second sheet:
Code:
='Mod Schedule'!$E$7,'Mod Schedule'!$H$7,'Mod Schedule'!$K$7,'Mod Schedule'!$N$7,'Mod Schedule'!$Q$7,'Mod Schedule'!$T$7,'Mod Schedule'!$W$7,'Mod Schedule'!$Z$7,'Mod Schedule'!$AC$7,'Mod Schedule'!$AC$7,'Mod Schedule'!$AF$7,'Mod Schedule'!$AI$7,'Mod Schedule'!$AL$7,'Mod Schedule'!$AO$7,'Mod Schedule'!$AR$7,'Mod Schedule'!$AU$7,'Mod Schedule'!$AX$7
I need for the formula of the IF function to copy down so that it refers to F5, G5, H5, I5...etc.
I also need for the non-contiguous named range GrdMtx7 to refer to the same non-contiguous range shifted down one row intact for the COUNTA function to operate on the next row down, such that COUNTA is checking for blanks in the range:
Code:
='Mod Schedule'!$E$8,'Mod Schedule'!$H$8,'Mod Schedule'!$K$8,'Mod Schedule'!$N$8,'Mod Schedule'!$Q$8,'Mod Schedule'!$T$8,'Mod Schedule'!$W$8,'Mod Schedule'!$Z$8,'Mod Schedule'!$AC$8,'Mod Schedule'!$AC$8,'Mod Schedule'!$AF$8,'Mod Schedule'!$AI$8,'Mod Schedule'!$AL$8,'Mod Schedule'!$AO$8,'Mod Schedule'!$AR$8,'Mod Schedule'!$AU$8,'Mod Schedule'!$AX$8
I can't get got to work at all using OFFSET and would rather not create dozens or hundreds of named ranges incrementing one at a time - is there a way to achieve this, preferably with a formula, but vba if absolutely necessary.
My best effort doesn't work:
Code:
(E6-COUNTA(OFFSET(GrdMtx7,1,))-1)&" Module(s)",(E6-COUNTA(OFFSET(GrdMtx7,1,)))&" Module(s)")

I have several named ranges with 4 column each. The named ranges have all the same names but with the tow last digits ranging from 00 to 50 by increments of 5 (ie 00, 05, 10, 15 etc.). The 4 columns for each of the named ranges have the following headings; 10, 100, 50 ,70. I have two cells with drop down lists with the list of the suffixes of the named ranges in cell e5 (ie 00, 05, 10, etc) and in g5 a drop down list with the 4 headings for the columns (10, 100, 50, 70)
I want to refer to these 2 values so that in column B, I can get the values of the column chosen for the given named range. For example, the column "100" for the named range THRESHOLD_10. In cell C1, I entered the following formula ="THRESHOLD_"& E5 which gives me the named range name. I entered the following function in the first cell of column B = index(C1,2,G5) but get a #REF! answer. If I write the following formula =index(THRESHOLD_10,2,G5) I get the right value.
how to get about it, and indirect(C1), but still gets a #REF! message. When I evaluate the formula, the named range appears with quotes "" which might be the reason that it cannot work. I am nearly there...but for the syntax and cannot get that working!

I have a table with subtotals that I need to find the largest value for the subtotal results and then return the cell contents for the corresponding row.
I have attempted to use the hlookup function, but keep getting a #ref error (probably because I am just not that familiar with the entire formula requirements).
I attempted to nest in the 'largest' function to the lookup function, but have so far been stymied....

Can you use Row & Column numbers in a Formula the way you can in VBA?
I want to do the same as Range(Cells(5,2)) in VBA EXCEPT in a Formula
because I want to use named ranges for the Row & column entries. (And I don't want to have to run a macro every time a change is made. The spreadsheet is huge enough already. It's slow on my machine & I have the biggets baddest PC in the company!)
Using Formulas only, (not VBA) I would like to create a Dynamic Named Range, LastUsedRow, which is the ROW NUMBER of the Last Used Cell in Column C
(it would = 470)
Also I have an existing Named Range HeaderRowNum (it = 16)
Currently I have a LOT of formulas like:
=SUMPRODUCT(($E17:$E470)*(--(CO17:CO470>0)))
problem is any new data must be added between Rows 17 & 470
So I would like to create dynamic new forumlas to read like:
SUMPRODUCT( (Cells(HeaderRowNum+1,5) : (LastUsed Row,5)) * (--(Cells(HeaderRowNum+1,93) : (LastUsed Row,93))>0) )...............

I am trying to put a SUMIF formula at the bottom of the data. Doing it manually is fine, but I want some vba to automate it, and my vba doesnt work.
Sub balance()
'adds journal line so journal balances in each month
Dim Rga As Range
Dim Rgb As Range
Dim Rgc As Range
Dim Rgd As Range
Dim Rge As Range
Dim Rgf As Range
This code just inserts text into the formula, rather than the range of cells.

how to pass a cell content into a formula as a named range? For instance, I have 3 named range (Budget, Actual, Forecast) and I use the named range in vlookup formulas. But instead of using the named range in the formula directly, I want to refer to a cell where I can type in which named range I want to use. Can this be done? I am attaching a sample spreadsheet to clarify what I mean.
