I found this spreadsheet on ozgrid, but can not locate the original post to move my question to -- mods please move if you can.
As for the question:
The spreadsheet attached searches an array, and shows the top 3 scoring names. How do I modify it to show 3 lowest scoring names without changing the rank field?
I am using the following array equation to return the value in column 1 for the smallest 5 numbers. It works for small 1 and 3 but i get a #NUM! for 2 , 4 , and 5. The smallest 5 numbers are:
0
3.196408441
4.491972091
4.491972091
4.491972091
Equation:
=INDIRECT(ADDRESS(SMALL(IF((NumRange)=SMALL(NumRange,1),ROW(NumRange),""),1),1))
I have a large set of numerical data, with each column having a text heading in the first row.
I want to use a function similar to HLOOKUP that can return the numerical value in a certain row of a column that has a specified heading....AND if there is more than one numerical value that meets the criteria, I want it to return the lowest numerical value.
My numerical data cannot be sorted into ascending order.
I want to ask if there is a way to find the next greatest maximum without a ton of auxiliary coding....Is there a function which does that in Excel? For example from the following list it would give 45:
1
34
45
26
78
29
7
I know function Vlookup finds the largest value less than or equal to the given value. However, If I want to finds the smallest value larger than or equal to the given value, How can I do it? assuming I do not want to use VBA.
View 5 Replies View RelatedI am very competent using the index match formula and have incorporated this into many spreadsheets to auto-fill for avoiding input errors. The objective I am attempting now is to retrieve from a list of 2800 entries the smallest return on an index match formula.
From the data below if my Index Match formula uses C1 to index and match my return is always a7 (-12.7) the first in the list, where my desire is a return of a19 (-14.11). To complex this problem I often have duplicate amounts that need to be listed when they fall into my parameters. I have figured that the Small function allows me to assign first smallest, second smallest, and so forth.
I prefer not to use vlookup for simplicity and error avoidance issues.

I have an excel sheet with multiple columns. In one column I have X's and in another I have a limit. I need to look down the stuff column, find every X, match each X to its corresponding limit and then compare all the limits and return only the smallest limit found. I.e if I was looking down the stuff column I would find 4,6,8,8,3 and thus I would return 3 as my value. I am very new to working with excel formulas,
limit
something
stuff

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.
Is it possible to compare the number in one column with multiple other columns (same row) and return the lowest of all to a cell?
View 3 Replies View RelatedI am looking for a formula that will return the lowest value in a range, expressed as a letter.
The relative values of these letters are:
F=0
P=1
M=2
D=3
For example,
If in cells A1:A4 we entered the values F, P, M & D in A5 the result would be F (as it is the lowest value in the A1:A4 range).
I have included an example worksheet with fictional data and the intended result in the Final Score column.
I would like a Formula to match 3 criteria in the following order:
1. Numeric Reference (NOT Unique)
2. Numeric Values ( NOT Unique) - lowest value
3. Numeric Label (Unique)
The Numeric Reference that I'm looking for will vary (Input Cell).
Search /Match ALL specified (duplicate) References.
From the specified References Return the Numeric Label that has the "LOWEST"
Numeric Value .
Data Layout is 3 Rows:
1st Row E4:AC4 Numeric Values (NOT Unique)
2nd Row E5:AC5 Numeric Labels (Unique)
3rd Row E6:AC6 Numeric References (NOT Unique)
Sample Data:
E4:AC4 Numeric Values (NOT Unique) 145 127 120 160 130 170 160 160
E5:AC5 Numeric Labels (Unique) 20 21 22 23 24 25 26
27
E6:AC6 Numeric Reference 8 0 8 2
0 10 8 30
Scenario:
Looking for Numeric Reference 8, the relevant Numeric Labels are 20, 22 and
26. Their respective Numeric Values are 145, 120 and 160. The Numeric Label
with the lowest value of 120 is 22.
Expected Result:
Numeric Label 22
I want a cell to return the lowest value in a time series of data that comes AFTER the highest value in the range (so date specific). I have the formula for finding the highest value. The time series range changes on a rolling 1 year basis and I have attached the file. The cells highlighted in orange are the ones that need calculating.

I need a formula that will find the second smallest number in a row. The row can contain as many as 200 numbers with many of them being zeros. That makes using the "small" function impossible.
View 9 Replies View RelatedI have 2 columns of numerical values (A and B).. I want to make a formula that takes the Sum of A/the Sum of B, neglecting the smallest value of A and it's corresponding B value
For example...
19
20
20
20
15
20
Clearly, 15 is the smallest value, and I want to know how I can take the sum of A/sum of B neglecting the 15
Basically, I want the formula to do (19+20)/(20+20)
The actual scenario has a lot more than 3 values, and I don't want to go through all of them (they change frequently)
I know how to make the simple formula..=SUM(A:A)/SUM(B:B), but I do not know how to make excel recognize, and not include the smallest value..
I am using excel 2007 and I need help with the following if anyone would be kind enough. I have a dynamic array that consists of stream of 1's and 0's. I want to be able to find the largest sequence of 1's and the smallest sequence of 1's. So at a point in time the array mite be 111110001101111000 and I want to be able to dertermine the longest contiguous sequence of 1's. But as I say the array is dynamic and so I need to do that after each input.

View 3 Replies View RelatedI currently am working with a worksheet that has over 250,000 data points. It is a spreadsheet for a company in which different work order are organized. A given work order can have several parts (ranging anywhere from one component to 40ish) and thus the height of the cells in which each specific work order is placed differs from work order to work order. For each component, the spreadsheet tells you how many can currently be made based on the materials available. What I would like to do, for each specific work order, is go through the data and simply tell whether or not the work order can be completed (the quantity of each specific component needed is also given in the spreadsheet) and then report out exactly how many components can be made.
Ultimately, this means that a "limiting factor" analysis must be done. For instance, if the work order is asking to create plastic bottles that consist of the bottle, the cap, and the label and it asks for 3 bottles but only 2 caps are able to be made, the limiting factor would be the caps and thus only two bottles could be made and the work order could not be fully completed.
The spreadsheet is set up based on another worker here, I am just trying to come up with a way to analyze it. Cells A1:Axxxxx are the work order numbers and the size of these cells differ because they are merged to fit the number of components they have. The componenets available are then ranged C1:Cxxxxx etc and the quantity needed are also listed in a similar fashion. What sort of structure could I use.
I'm creating a spreadsheet and have had difficultly creating a function that returns the second smallest unique value.
For example if my data set is:
2, 2, 3, 3, 4, 5, 6
I'd want the function to return "3". I've tried playing around with the SMALL(array, k) function and trying to use a COUNTIF function for "k".
D3 = SMALL(H6:H45, COUNTIF(H6:H45,0) +1)
to determine smallest value in range excluding 0 is it possible to link that smallest value to another value like a name?
Eg. H6 = 5 K6 = Ben
H7 = 4 K7 = John
H8 = 9 K8 = Ted
Thefore D3 = John
I want to count the smallest numbers in a range of 10 cells after omitting the 4 largest. I have been using the formula
=SUM(IF(ISNUMBER(LARGE(E5:N5,{1,2,3,4})),LARGE(E5:N5,{1,2,3,4})),D5),
This works perfectly in that in the desired cell it enters the 4 largest numbers and a specified cell. I then want to be able to total the remainder.
I'm after a formula to find the smallest unique value in a range
For example..
1
1
2
3
Small(Range,1) = 1
Small(Range,2) = 1
But i need the second row to show '2' as the result.
I'm struggling to get the syntax right for this formula. I've been trying variations on the following formula but can't get it right:
=AVERAGE(SMALL(IF(AP8:AZ80,AP8:AZ8),1)))
Columns AP:AZ:
1.8921.7621.6501.1741.2261.2991.3020.0000.0001.1461.333
Any column in this range could have a zero value.
What I need: The average of the 8 lowest non-zero numbers in range AP:AZ
Find smallest numbers in the range ignoring zeros.
I want it returned as value "1", all others - as value "0".
Example: range A1:J1 contains - 5,0,7,3,6,5,8,0,9,3
desirable result in the range A2:J2 - 0,0,0,1,0,0,0,0,0,1
In column A, I have a list of names.
In column B, I have a list of values.
I want column C to show me which name has the smallest value from column B.
In other words, if there are 5 names, I want ONE name to give me a value of 10 (for the smallest value), and the rest of the names I want to show zero.
I also have in column D another list of values.
In column E, I want to show first, second and third place amongst the list of values from column D. The rest of the names I want to show zero.
I am looking for a function like MATCH if the match type were set to -1. However my data is sorted in ascending order. I am mining data from a Pivot Table, and it has dates across the top. Of course the pivot table will have the data sorted in ascending order from left to right. I want to find the first date that is greater than today. With weekends and holidays I can't just use TODAY()+1. Is there a function that can do what I am asking? Also I do not want to change the pivot table itself.
View 9 Replies View RelatedCurrently we are using the formula below to get an average of column E in a spreadsheet. I was wondering how to modify the formula to get the smallest number in that column rather than the average.
=IF(ISERROR(SUMIFS(E:E,A:A,K2,B:B,K3,C:C,K4,D:D,K5)),"Not Available",AVERAGEIFS(E:E,A:A,K2,B:B,K3,C:C,K4,D:D,K5))
I am trying to find the smallest values in a list. that part is easy (use SMALL). But, I want the ref to the cell where that value is in, not the value itself. Additional problem occurs when more than one of these values are the same. Example: A1 = 1; A2 = 3 ; A3 = 2 ; A4 = 2 ; etc. If I want the smallest, I want "A1" as result, for the 2nd smallest I want "A3", for the 3rd smallest I want "A4". So you see that a MATCH formula will not work beceause some of the values are the same.
View 2 Replies View RelatedIs there a way to reverse a lookup function?
I have a s/s attached, basically B is like an output of figures after some calculations. And I am trying to find from largest to smallest values and then having column E reflect the Letter beside that number...
tried using match but messed up.
a formula to rank a set of data ? The smallest data will be rank 1 and the highest will have the last rank. this range of data has some spaces in between, that needs to be ignored but should not be deleted. I have attached a spreadsheet stating the case.
