Formula that could find the result and return the greatest text value?
I have over a 1000 records broken down by Leaders of which each is roughly 50 records. in those records, answers are either : 4 hours, 8 hours, 24 hours or 48 hours. I need to have a formula return of the 4 choices, which had the greatest value.
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
Find a short text string in a column of longer text strings and when that short text string is found return the longer text string that matches.
View 3 Replies View RelatedI have a dataset of shifts and want to compare each shift that needs to be filled to a list of requests for time off (vacation, etc).
For one cell the code is: =IF(ISERROR(SEARCH(B1, A1), 0,1)
Where A1 is the column of requests in comma delimited forme (ie: "AB,CD,EF").
Where B1 is the column containing the person assigned to shift 1 (ie: "AB")
In this case, would return a "1" as no error was returned, as AB was found in the list. Here "1" would represent a schedule conflict.
Without creating many cells for each shift- there are 20 shifts- can I create an array or string together this type of "SEARCH" function?
Cell H1 has a variable string of references for eg
"FI570783AQ3516346EQ3516346FXVB123456"
I want to return the reference beginiing with "FXVA" so it would ignore the rest and only return FXVB123456 - this should always be 10 characters.
Just to add another complication to the mix, there may be 2 "FXVA" references in the string and i want to get both (these can be in the same string so FXVB123456FXEL123456 - but this might not happen regularly.
Can you please assist in helping with a formula that will return the value of the characters (no matter the length) between the "."?
123456.B.78.C.321
12345.B.78.C.321
not sure if an "IF" staement is appropriate?
I have 3 columns containing data:
column A has text in it,
example: A2="red", A3="green", A4="blue"
column B has 3 letter month in it and they could have repeats
example: B2="Jan", B3="Feb", B4="Jan"
C2="Jan"
in D2 list anything column A that matches C2
example: D2="red, blue"
I want a formula or function that will return a count value if a cell contains a string rather than returning a value if the cell equals a value. For example, =COUNTIF(A$1:A$19703,F1) returns a value to cells in column G if the value in column F equals any exactly matching value in A. I need a formula that works like the filter option "contains" so that if any cells in col A merely contain a string rather than exactly match or equal a string from column F I can get a count value returned.

I am not sure if I can do this by adjusting this formula or whether that would be a completely diffent formula or worst case senario it is not possible at all.
=INDEX(B2:B1537,MATCH(MAX(COUNTIF(B2:B1537,B2:B1537)),COUNTIF(B2:B1537,B2:B1537),0))
obviously this is an array.
Say I have a table like this:
Value 1---Value 2---Name
1---------1---------Potential client
1---------3---------Loyal client
2---------5---------Happy client
Now I have two separate columns with values for "Value 1" and Value 2". How can I tell Excel to look in the table above and return the name?
I need to look within column A (which contains text strings), match label in column c (which contains text for label), and return result within column B (titled category label).
Essentially, I want to label my data based upon a specific element found within column A with a label list in column C.
I have attached an excel file that shows the current problem. Nested if(isnumber(search( statements can perform this, but I yield too many arguments error after three labels?
Isn't there a way to do this with Vlookup or Hlookup?
I am trying to return the first occurrence of a variable text string with-in brackets for all data on the spreadsheet using the "RIGHT" excel function, the text to search is in column D.
Example for cells D2 & D3 reads:
D2:Adv Costs (27a) - would return "27a"
D3:Designer Unit (60) (Base) (50abc) - would return "50abc"
I am looking for a formula to remove the text 2.2 from the string Rav4 2.2 D-4d X or 1.33 out of Yaris 1.33 Vvt etc, I have tried using the formula
=IF(P2="","",VLOOKUP("*"&P2&"*",AM$1:AN$25,2,1))
But it just keeps returning #N/A. I have all the variables outlined in cells AM$1:AN$25 hence the reference. I currently have the formula
=IF(P2="","",VLOOKUP(P2&"*",AK$1:AL$25,2,1))
Which is working perfectly @ finding and returning the start of the string but just cannot get the one to find the middle characters.
I have a spreadsheet!
I have two sheets, one of which contains film names and the other contains our tag structure for our website (which is a list of tags, their keywords and the primary parent channel they live under).
What I am trying to do is search the film titles and if any of the words match either the tag name or keywords then return the relevant channel.
Example:
Sheet 1 - Films
How To Apply Bridal Makeup
How To Fight A Donkey
How To Write Excel Formulae
Sheet 2 - Tags
Channel / Tag / Keywords
Tech - Microsoft - windows vista xp word excel
Tech - Computers - internet pc
Tech - MP3 Players - iPod Zune
So, for film 3 on Sheet 1 it would recognise the word Excel in the keyword list and return the channel Tech.

I deal with a rather large excel database (the range is A1:AV168266) that contains customer information. Some of these various customers are affiliated with a group called "ascend" and I need to be able to filter all my list by every customer affilliated with Ascend. The trouble is that the word "ascend" can appear in 8 different columns and usually when it appears in one column it doesn't appear in the others and their can also be more text in the cell beyond the word "ascend". I want to create a formula that will simply look for the word "ascend" in any cell of a row and return a result I can filter by. I will be putting the formula in column AW and put it in all 170,000 rows of that column, that way I can just filter by a single column.
I've played around with combining COUNTIF with SEARCH and MATCH with SEARCH but nothing seems to work.
I have a spreadsheet with 1,000 rows of data.
Each Cell in Column A has a different long text string.
I need to see which (if any) of 10 specific small text strings exist within each long text string. Depending on which small text string is found I want to return a 3 digit code. If no small text string is found I want to return "Not Found"
E.g.:
- Cell A2 contains "randomtext,randomtext,APPLE,randomntext"
- I want to see if Cell A2 contains any of the words APPLE, ORANGE, CARROT.
- I want to return "APP", "ORG", "CAR" or "Not Found"
Q: What is the most elegant way to accomplish this within a single formula that I could paste into each cell in Column B?
I am trying to find the formula to find the greatest number/date etc in a column, I'm not sure which one I should be using?
For example I have a list of dates in Column B and I want in cell A1 to show the latest date in that column, so if the dates are
21/12/2008
05/02/2009
it would show 05/02/2009 in cell A1.
I can get the result. It shows #num! in cell F2
I have a set series of numbers as follows:
7550-0101
7536-0130
7538-0131
7535-0128
7536-0126
[Code] ....
I would like to disregard the digits before the hyphen (not always four digits) and check only the values of the last set of digits (also not always 4 digits). I would like to search for the greatest suffix used to find the next available number. In my data above the result would be 132.

View 4 Replies View RelatedI have two columns of data, in another column I have the difference between these two columns, now I want to show the difference as a percentage. Assume cell A is 0.02 and cell B is 0.03 the difference is 0.01 and the percentage of the difference would be 33% or 0.01/0.03, my problem is when cell A is 0.04 and cell B is 0.01 the same formula wouldn’t work in both cases since in the first A<B and the second A>B is there a way that I can take the difference and divide it by the greater of A and B without having to do it manually?

But when I switch the values to `% of` year (Previous). I get the change from 2010 to 2012 in percentage. But my PROBLEM is when I want to Sort & Filter from Largest to Smallest, cause I want to show the cities that have had the greatest percentage change from 2010 to 2012. But the I only get the same cities, and when I look at ex. 'Gjovik' is has had a 125 % in change and should be in the top.
So how am I able to Sort & Filter from Largest to Smallest the cities with greatest change in percentage?
I have wave data and need to extract out of a column the greatest rate of change i.e. start from a1 if the numbers are going down find the first number that starts going upward...and put in column b...then find the next first number that is going down and put in column b....and so on and so on all the way down the column.
View 4 Replies View RelatedI have managed to get a nice array formula to look up count all the Rs As & Gs in some cells and return whichever there are most of (the cells are linked to/fed from another workbook with cells that have either an R, A or G in - nothing else)
And mainly this is working but on one set of cells it returns nothing as there are 2 As and 2 Gs - what is really annoying is that on a set of cells on a another section of the tab there are 5 A's and 5 G's and that returns an A.

I'm trying to use vlookup function in table 2 referencing table 1 using the approximate parameter. However, an approximate vlookup value is by definition the closest *least* value. Is there a trigger of some sort to locate the closest *greatest* value as well?
For instance, if the lookup_value in table 2 is 2.450 but the referenced table 1 only has 2.445 and 2.475, I will only retrieve the respective value related to 2.445 -- how would I retrieve the other value at 2.475?
Essentially, if a lookup_value rests in between two values of whatever is being referenced, I am trying to average those two closest numbers. Is there a function I've overlooked that may help with this?

I need to take out the number in the middle, from the period to the space. The number varies in length so just using the mid function doesn't work. Does anyone know how to modify the mid function to return all chars between the period and the space or is there some other function that may work?
Formula that will return a string of dates (in values so that I use the cell for additional formula).
For example:
