Need a way to return a list of non-zero without doing sorting the column? For example, I have a list of number running down column A and I want column C to have the number running down starting from the top (in the same order as column A) but leaving out all zeroes. I've attached an example spreadsheet.
View 3 RepliesI've attached a sample excel for what I'm looking to do. Basically, based off a search box(drop down), I'd like to automatically populate a list of non-blank ingredients in another list.
View 3 Replies View RelatedI am trying to find the largest value, second largest, and third largest value for a column of numbers then return a content value for the adjacent column that contains the name for which each. The problem I am running into is when the second highest has the same value as the highest and also when the third value is zero (n=meaning there are only non-zero numbers for the column). I am using these formulas currently whic work when the numbers are not the same and I have atleast 3 non-zero numbers but I need to modify in order to account for the problem stated above...

I have a list of items and for each of them their created date. I want to retrieve the 3 most recent items on a different page.
so for example
a01 May 2009
b02 May 2009
c06 May 2009
d03 May 2009
e01 May 2009
would give me
c
d

Which formula do i use to return a name to me, that is the most occurring from a list?
I tried =mode(range) but i dont think it was the right one.
IF the first letter (i.e. left most letter) in any of the cells in range F7:F17 is "R", return its content to cell L3 and put a line break between each (i.e. create a list within a single cell).
I've read line breaks can be put in by using &CHAR(10)& but can't get a full formula to work.
As a 'true' result of an 'IF' statement, I would like to return a data validation list, as a false result, the term "Not I/C"
The below isn't right, but its the best explanation of what I'm trying to do........
=if(A1="Yes",(the list, eg B1:B5),("Not I/C))
I have this formula in C7:
=VLOOKUP(A7,A$20:C$76,3)
The Table Array contains a list of 12 months, and there will be a match to the Lookup Value in A7 each month. I would like C7 to reflect the last completed match in the list (it will be updated each month). So, when June is the last completed month, C7 will return the matching amount from the Table Array for June; then when July is completed, I would like C7 to reflect the matching amount for July.
I finished mty project which shows how to return the value of the first non-blank cell in an array. That's great, but I now need to find the next value, and so on. In the example, I'd need to get "BBB" to come out of the formula.
My list has other blanks inserted throughout the array, so it would more closely resemble:
A1
AAA
BBB
CCC
Any ideas?
How to write formula of following condition:

I need to return all the unique matches from a set of data.
For example, when a product is selected, I need to list all the possible venues it is sold from. I will use this venue list to populate my drop-down listbox, as opposed to having a 100 venues in the list, I just wish to have the applicable ones.
Example of data set I need to lookup in:
prod 1 venue1
prod 2 venue 2
prod 1 venue 3
prod 1 venue 10
prod 2 venue 6
I would like to use a formula if I can (not a macro), to list that prod 1 is only sold in venue 1,3, 10.
It would be great if one could use a vlookup type of formula and it could return a list of each occurence of the look-up'ed cell.....
In Excel 2007, I need to be able to return a value (definition of something) based on what is selected in 2 other cells.
(See Attached)
If in cell C2 I select "competency 1" and in Cell C3 I select "Expert", I need to be able to return the definition for someone that is an Expert in Competency 1 in cell D2.
Then, if in cell C5 I select "competency 2" and in Cell C6 I select "Leading", I need to be able to return the definition for someone that is Leading in Competency 2 in cell D5. And I'll be doing this about 10 times on each sheet.
All the tables with info are in another worksheet. I can do a vlookup if I'm just using one thing to match, but how do I match 2 things to return the definition?
I am looking for a formula to extract numbers from a list in descending order. As the list may have more than one entry of the same number the formula i need should only show one of that particular number.
So in effect

40001
40003
39972
41224
40025
40078

I have a table with the following headers: Customers, Location, bill number, date of bill, number of days you have untill you must pay the bill, the rest are not important
I need to return a list of the bills from the last six months, in which the customer has been granted with days until he must pay the bill(there are some with no granted days).
The table headers are translated, they are not so long.
I need to do this until friday.
I am looking to return a sequential list of items which match to an element of text that I have selected. An example will explain what I want better.
Item Selected Tom
Ref AmountTom C 32206 3683Tom B 36212 34464Frank 10552 43642Mary 13228 30534Tom A 30694 35798Mary B 9121 27489
So I want a Formula which will return the Reference for items in column A which contain the word Tom.So the Result I want is:Selected
Tom C 32206 3683Tom B 36212 34464Tom A 30694 35798
The formula I have to return an item containing Tom is:
=INDEX($A$5:$A$10,MATCH("*"&$B$2&"*",$A$5:$A$10,0))
But this only returns the first Tom and no other.The Formula I have to return sequential items with exact reference:
=INDEX($B$4:$B$11, SMALL(INDEX(($B$2=$A$4:$A$11)*(MATCH(ROW($A$4:$A$11), ROW($A$4:$A$11)))+($B$2$A$4:$A$11)*1048577, 0, 0), ROW($A1)))
This will (if I change the row reference at the end) return all Tom C's (If I change B2 to "Tom C") in sequential order but only the Tom C's and not the other Tom's (Tom B and Tom A). I have tried replacing the $B$2 with "*"&$B$2&"*" but that doesn't seem to work.
I am trying to search a range for all of the nonblank cells, when I find one, return the column header and the value in that column. Vlookup won't work on this. It will only return a specified column.

View 9 Replies View RelatedI'm making a spreadsheet where I want the user to select an item in A1 from a List made using Data Validation. When the person makes the selection in A1 I want the next 5 columns to automatically display specific attributes that belong to A1. However, I'd like the user to then be able to change each of these items (in B1-F1) from their own individual Validation Lists. I'm using this to mix and match mythical monsters. So in A1 I have well known monsters like Jaws, Godzilla and the Lochness Monster. When you select one of these creatures, that creature's specific attributes show up in the next 5 columns -- things like Appearance, Motive, MO, Hideout, and Special Features. I then want to be able to change Appearance, Motive, MO, Hideout, and Special Features individually from their own Validation List. I basically just want to mix and match between the various creatures.
I've gotten it only partially working by doing the following: At the bottom of the page (for simplicity, I have everything in 1 sheet but I intend to move the "data" table for the Lists to their own sheet) I have a table where in the row for each creature I have the different attributes. A1 (my "creature name") was made using Data Validation from the A column. For the next column I made a Data Validation List for the items. Once that pulldown was made, I then went to the B1 cell and used VLOOKUP to autofill the cell when the person makes their "A1" selection. I repeated this for cells C1-F1. This works ok the first time you make a selection. But whenever you change the "default" value for B2 using the validation drop down list, the Vlookup formula is replaced by the actual text value. This results in the cell not changing when the person next changes the A1 value.
I am trying to create an if function that returns a drop down list (which i have already created in another cell) to the cell if a certain condition is met. When i try, the if function only returns the option that has been selected in the drop down lists cell, instead of the entire drop down list. Is there a way to get the If function to return a working drop down box?
View 3 Replies View RelatedI have a file with multiple sales for each product, each month it can change depending on sales and i want to get the total of each product.

I have created a drop down list of various material sizes what I am needing to do is to select a material size from the drop down list and a corresponding value is input into the cell. So on say sheet two (Data Sheet) I have Cell A1 25x25 with Cell B1 100, Cell A2 30x30 with Cell B2 120 and so on. On sheet 1 Cell A1 has my drop down list being the material size ie 25x25, so what I need to happen is if I select 25x25 then Cell B1 is 100 or if I select 30x30 then cell B1 is 120.
View 4 Replies View RelatedMy objective is to take two different random counts of numbers written in column b, ranging from B9:B66. However I want to highlight the specific fields listed in the example below, and pull random numbers from those selected fields only. Then I want to pull another set of random numbers in the same column B9:B66, however using a different specific set of fields within column B; as shown in the second random formula string. Use the Press 9 feature to randomly select the two different numbers. What this attempt is trying accommplish is selecting one boy, one girl who have assigned numbers adjacent to their names(name field populated in column c).
What am I doing in correctly?

I have a spreadsheet with several hundred line items that I basically want a summary of.
STRINGS CRITERIA OTHER
string1 criteria1 other2 <---disregard because of other2
string1 criteria2 other1
string1 criteria2 other1 <---disregard because it is a duplicate
string2 criteria3 other1
string2 criteria3 other1 <---disregard because it is a duplicate
string2 criteria2 other2 <---disregard because of other2
string3 criteria1 other1
string3 criteria1 other1 <---disregard because it is a duplicate
I need the formula to return the value in STRINGS & CRITERIA, but I do not want it listing duplicates.
-I need the summary list on a separate sheet
-STRINGS, CRITERIA, and OTHER are all strings
-STRINGS are in alphabetic order
-CRITERIA are listed in groups with regard to their STRING, but not necessarily alpha-order
-OTHER are not in any particular order, but there are only two choices for OTHER
-OTHER: if OTHER=other2, it should not be listed in the results
RESULT
STRINGS CRITERIA
string1 criteria2
string2 criteria3
string3 criteria1
(1) I've created a list in A2, which looks up F1:F27. I'd like to place an IF or Vlookup function in B2, that returns the corresponding cell from range G1:G27 based on selection in A2.
(2) Also, is it possible to include the fill coulour based on selections in A2 and B2?
I have a list of data that I want to average the number in column B when there is a match in column A
COLUMN A | COLUMN B
alpha | 100
beta | 200
gamma | 300
alpha | 400
beta | 500
What I'm looking to do is return the MEAN of values in column B where column A = alpha. Though, I would settle for returning a list of the values that match the criteria. Index/Match combinations don't seem to be helping me because they only return the first match, I'd like to return all matches.
