May 14, 2007I'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
Return Largest 15 Day Average Of A Range
Jun 22, 2014I 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..

Feb 3, 2011I'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.
Return The Largest Letter In An Array
May 15, 2007how 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.

Find The Largest Number And Then Return The Name From A Different Column
Jan 15, 2007I'm using the LOOKUP function to find the largest number and then return the name from a different column, it looks like this:

Return Largest Number Within A Range Of Cells
Aug 26, 2009I'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.
View 3 Replies View RelatedNamed Formula To Return The Nth Largest Value From Range
May 19, 2009I 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.
Return Cell Address Of Largest & Smallest Value In Column
Jun 2, 2009How 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.
Needing To Find Largest Value In Array, Then Return Entire Row Associated With Result
May 14, 2009I 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 attempted to nest in the 'largest' function to the lookup function, but have so far been stymied....
(FORMULA) Return Largest Time With Nested Countif And Text
Dec 4, 2013I'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(...)

Retrieving Column Header For Largest Or Second Largest Value In Row?
May 12, 2012I have a table showing interest levels in training courses from a group of schools, eg:
English Maths Science
School1 3 4 2
School2 7 1 0
School3 3 2 5
I want to identify the column heading for the first, second and third most popular courses. ie for School1 the most popular course is Maths, second most popular is English and so on.
I have tried using the OFFSET function, which worked if I provided the cell location of the required value. I then looked at the ADDRESS function to provide the cell location: eg For School2 find the 2nd most popular course:
=ADDRESS(ROW(A3),COLUMN(data?)+MATCH(LARGE(B3:B5,2),B3:B5,0)-1)
But I have got stuck with what I should enter for COLUMN(data?) as I do not know in which column the second largest value is.
I am sure Excel has the required functionality.
Suppress Zeros In A Pivot Table (search Out Any Zeros And Replace With A Blank Cell)
Oct 12, 2009with the data in the attached sheet, I create several different pivot tables that need show the count of the information in the columns M:DU. My issue is that the data is sent to me from a third party and the columns contain zeros that cause the counts to inflate.
What I would like to be able to do is run a macro that will search out any zeros in M:DU and replace them with a blank cell.
Unfortunately the number of rows increases with every monthly reporting cycle so the macro would need to be able to accommodate for that.
Ranking - Ties
Jun 17, 2009I've a problem with scoring using the rank formula.
Example: four players score, 28,17,39,6. The 39 score wins, gets 4 points, 28 = 3points, 17 = 2 points, 6 = 1 point.
The rank formula will work this out fine.
However if you get two scores tied, for example 28, 28, 39, 6, using rank the points score for each 28 returns 2 when I actually need it to be 2.5
(Thats 3points +2points / 2).
Find Top X And Ties

Range("K4:N23") = Sheets("Trucks").Range("A2:D21").Value ' truck
The above code get the top 20 race car drivers, based on their points,from 3 sheets and puts them onto same sheet. Column D on each sheet has their point value.
Ie.
A B C D
1. Jeff Gordon 24 100
2. Tony Steward 20 92
3. Dale Earnhart 8jr. 91
my list will have over 100 Drivers already sorted in decending order by points. What I need to fix, is to select the top 20 drivers and any others who are tied for 20th place.
..Range("A2:D21") 'needs to be dynamic to select the top 20 and ties
the above will only get me the top 20. But if 5 drivers are tied for 20th place then I need then also. Remember the list is already sorted and the points are in column "D" starting in D2 and going down.
Rank A List With Ties?
Jul 15, 2012I'm trying to come up with a formula that assigns ranks to an ascending list of integer values where ties are resolved by assigning tied values the mean of the ranks they would have received if there were no ties, e.g., 117, 119, 119, 125, 128 becomes 1, 2.5, 2.5, 4, 5. (If the two 119s were not tied, they would have been assigned the ranks 2 and 3, yielding a mean of 2.5.) My list looks like this:
Column_A Column_B

Breaking Ties In Rank Function
Jun 21, 2014I am trying to break ties in the Rank function.
Example worksheet attached.
I have an eight digit number (a digit can show up more than once) and determine the rank of the sum of each number. I had the ties broken by whatever digit showed up first.
In the following example, June 13th row showed 6 digits tied for second place and the tie was broken by the order in which the digit show up in the range.
On the June 14th row it showed digit 4 and 5 tied with 3 occurrence each (running total for the two days). But digit 4 came in twice that day, and reach a total 3 first before digit 5, but Rank2 shows that digit 5 was ranked first, which should of been digit 4.

I realize that there are not 10 values in the list above but I truncated the list for space purposes.
Rank Function And Percentage Ties
Jun 23, 2009I am a meteorologist and I keep track of my forecaster's monthly statistics. One area I track is percentage of warnings issued with desired lead time. I calculate and rank the individuals by percentages.
Example:
Forecaster A: 3 of 4 75% Rank 1
Forecaster B: 1 of 2 50% Rank 2
Forecaster C: 0 of 3 0% Rank 3
Or if ties:
Forecaster A: 6 of 6 100% Rank 1
Forecaster B: 3 of 3 100% Rank 1
Forecaster C: 1 of 2 50% Rank 3
Is there a way in Excel in case of ties, to award a higher rank (1) to the individual who went 100%, 6 for 6, compared to the individual who also earned 100%, but only 3 of 3.
More reward for more chances and opportunities.
Sort By Rank Accounting For Ties
Jan 2, 2010I have a custom sort order that I use for sorting military ranks in a number of massive spreadsheets I am using. Normally the data we get has a long version for the ranks (column 1) and a rank code (column 2). When the rank code is there it is simple to sort by that column in descending order, but without it I need a custom sort. The problem is there are up to three equivalent ranks at each level across Army, Navy and Air Force as you can see in the attachment.
Is there a way I can set up a custom sort based on both columsn of data but sorting only on the second column. I could do vlookups but there are up to 50,000 rows and I don't really want to keep that formula there, and as I use it across multiple sheets (yes I know all one sheet, but it is segregated data and used in different situations) including a vba written value would have to occur for every row on every sheet - not the best option in my opinion - maybe it is.
Imaginary Zeros In Formulas Vs. Real Zeros
Nov 7, 2009I’ve created a formula for this statistic and I’m happy with the results. Because I’m working with formulas, my only problem is the unwanted zeros. How do I hide zeros that show up automatically (i.e. #3 [blank] and Nov 09-June 10)? I can hide the numbers, but if I enter a zero to one of my future statistics it will not appear and I don’t want that to happen. Is there a way to hide those automatic zeros without affecting my real zeros?

Formula To Show Top Scores - Including Ties
Jul 17, 2008I have a list of team members and their scores for team building events. I need to create a list of the top ten scores (including any ties). The list will have to show the top ten scores as well as any additional names whose score ties with one of the top ten scores.
I tried large and also a pivot table using the advanced but cannot get it to show the top 10 unique scores as well as any duplicate scores.
Rank Formula Error With Same Values (Ties)
