Randomly Group N Elements (where N Is Factor Of 7) Into Groups Of 7
Oct 7, 2013
I want to group N elements which is a factor of 7 into groups of 3 randomly. For example, I have 21 elements:
ZSW
PMH
NYV
JTX
DEF
CRK
AOI
I want to group them into 6 more sets. Now, all in all 7 sets. Group them into other sets without the element repeating in the row it has occupied before. For example, for letter P. "P" has occupied row 2 in set 1, it cannot occupy row 2 anymore in other sets. Therefore, each element must have occupied row 1-7 in all the sets.
See attached excel file for the example output : grouping7-final.xlsx
I have the following worksheet, which lists the pickup groups and members of each group from a phone system. Another worksheet lists all the exts and I want to have some sort of VLOOKUP, MATCH function that will look at the ext number and come back with the pickup group number.
I've attached a copy of the spreadsheet to show you what I'm talking about. So looking at the spreadsheet if I have an ext number of 8001 I want to return the value of 2 as ext 8001 is a member of pickup group 2. Also of an ext is not a member of any group, then I want to return nothing.
The key point is that I have over 400 columns grouped in three, offset by one row down for each (this is due to a different formula I have working). Each column is 60 numbers long (not including empty cells above data). I want to copy all of these columns into a single set of three columns on another sheet (Sheet2). (These will be the fifth, sixth, and seventh columns, E, F, and G. If it would be simpler, I could simply copy the third of each set of columns on Sheet1 (C, F, I) to column G of Sheet2. Then there would be a total of 144 columns being copied (60 numbers per column).) All of this copying has to be values-only as the original columns consist of formulas referencing outside cells. Sheet2 should look like this:.............
I have the task of creating a spreadsheet that will track and give point value to our sales reps' daily accessory sales. The following is the point value criteria for dollars:
Sell over $30 - 1 point daily Sell over $100 - 2 points daily Sell over $150 - 3 points daily Sell over $300 - 5 points daily Sell over $500 - 6 points daily Sell over $1,000 - 7 points daily
Each cell will have a different dollar value in it. I've tried so many different ways to do this IF factor that I have confused myself and spun in circles. Can anyone help me with this? I am about ready to pull out my hair, and really don't want to have to go in and manually do this daily for 30 reps.
I am having a problem getting a number to round correctly in Excel. I know I can use =ROUNDUP(x,x) to get it to the nearest whole number but I also need the rounded number to be a factor of another number like you would use in =MROUND(x,x). The problem is the MROUND function also rounds down. As an example if I have the number 12.5 and I want this to be rounded up by a factor or 4 I would get 16.
See attached file. I am looking for a macro which can copy/paste down a value (column A) by a given factor (column B). The result should be a list of all values (column C). The amount of values and factors is unknown (the attached example ends at row 5).
I have two factors that both change, resulting in two unique values. I'm trying to determine which portion of the resulting delta is attributable to each factor. Example:
Hourly Cost Run Rate Piece Cost (Hourly Cost / Run Rate) $105.00 4,500 $0.0233 $126.10 3,000 $0.0420
I got a list of products and a price list. How to obtain a total for a given subset of products using a formula? Kind of sumif multiplied by a vlookup...
Here is a table with values from Factor1 to Factor 5. Underneath that, for a specific index, I can mark Y or N for factor values. For instance, for index 1, Factor1 and 2 is marked as Y. The goal is to calculate total factor based on variable and factor values. In this case, variable value is 6, factor 1 =1 and factor 2=1.25). So Total factor = 6*1.25*1.5 = 11.25. If all factor values are marked as N, then total factor = variable value (Example is for Index 3)
How this can be implemented. I tried using COUNT function to count the total number of Y but that works only if all factors have same values.
I am currently working on a spreadsheet that records data from 11 different locations, with each location having it's own page within the workbook.
All of the pages are identical in terms of how the data is stored, the only difference is literally the name of each page (i.e. the location).
What I would like is to have a master page that then pulls through the relevant data, dependent on which location I choose from a drop down list on this page. As each individual page is identical in terms of lay-out, one formula will work for each page, with the only obvious exception is the page reference embedded in the formula. I know how to do a standard lookup for various figures, but I can't figure out a formula that would work with 11 different options... Is there any way to accomplish this?
I am trying to write VBA code that groups cells between blank rows and inserts a message if a string of text (a name) is missing from the entire group. I want the code to search cells in column A and group the cells between blank cells. Use the name I input in an input box as the search criteria and insert a message in the Column C next to the last blank cell in the group and then move on to the next group and highlight the cell in red with bold text. I am including a spreadsheet with an example of what the sheet should look like before and after the code is run.
I have date fields as column labels in a pivot table. When I try to group them I'm only given the option to group by integers and not by months, years etc.
I've had a look at the format settings of the column and they are formatted as date fields.
Using excel 2010: I am calculating a dollar weighting with one isolation factor, the state where the sale took place. My current formula is below. Each dollar amount in AG3:AG2000 has a corresponding weighting in AB3:AB2000. The results are isolated by the corresponding state in the range E3:E2000.
I want to add in an additional isolation, the month when the sale took place. The months are located in H3:H2000. Where in my current formula would I insert the isolation for the month?
I have several groups of data in the same sheet. Each group has two blank rows above the first row of data. Each group has column "B" in common (e.g., "Phone" in the example attached). I'd like to add a title/label of "Phone" to the first column in the row immediately preceding the first row of data for that group.
how to use the group box to group a number of option buttons together.
Question is, lets say, i have a total of 4 group box. if i want it to work in such a way where by once 2 option buttons are being selected (1 option selected from each group box), the rest of the option buttons in the 4 group box will be greyed out. is that possible?
In Col X of the attachment, I have manually entered the count of the rows within each sub group, as determined by the counter in Col W. How can I do this automatically? I need this because when I filter the spread sheet by Rank, I need to know how many selections, of the filter Rank query, were in a sub group of ? number.
I am trying to provide a tool for department leaders to monitor productivity for order processing in their departments. The variables I have are: Number of orders(variable), number of pickers (variable), start time(variable). Then, I know each order takes 1 picker 4 minutes to pick on average, and there are 45 minutes worth of breaks during the picking process. So after entering the variables I used =(((C3*4)/60)/D3) to come up with the time needed to process the orders. What I can't get to is how to add this number to the start time, factor in break minutes and get to the projected completion time. I have Excel 2003 at work. Clearly I need to take a class!
I have made a calendar in excel, and need to make the following work.
I have six boxes (each for one day of the week, excl. Sunday) and a separate box containing names. I need to come up with a way that excel will automatically add those names to any five of the six boxes at random (always leaving exactly one box free for each name), and always choose which box at random.
I have this massive spreadsheet, with the maximum rows excel will fit on one sheet. In the interest of simplicity, this is what the raw data looks like:
Last First Amount
Jones Jim $1000 Jung Joe $700 White Jon $100 Jones Jim $200 Jones Jan $300 Jung Joe $800 White Jon $200
What I want to do is automatically get excel to group all the same names together. Then I want it to sum all the values for each name, then order by largest total value for each person, then order that by name alphabetically. In other words, the above would look like this after the sort:
Last First Amount Jung Joe $800 Jung Joe $700 Jones Jim $1000 Jones Jim $200 Jones Jan $300 White Jon $200 White Jon $100
Or, if necessary, there could be sum total rows under each name...although I don't have spare rows, so IDK. I could delete some rows if I had to, but would rather not.
Conditional formatting. I want to change the color of a group of cells based on data in another group of cells. Example:
If cells G8 and G9 (which are merged) are between 80% and 94%, then I9,I10,I11 (which are merged) will turn Yellow. Also, under the same scenario, IF G8 and G9 is greater than 94%, then cells I9, I10, I11 will turn Red.
I have a workbook with sheet 1 called Support which is basically an input form. The second sheet is called Database.
I want to enter data into the form and via a macro copy the data to the database. I have followed a text book to the letter on how this is to be completed to the letter.
My problem is that when the data is written to the database some of the fields are blank. Using F8 I can step through the VB script which appears to select fields at random.
I have a 1x20 array with the numbers 1 thru 20 inside. I want a piece of vba code to randomly sort them. I will do this in a loop to create different "starting arrays" for an optimization code. I just need to be able to randomize the beginning. How is this done? I cant have duplicates.
