Returning Text Based On Max Value In A Table?
Apr 14, 2014
I am looking to return text based on the maximum value in a table.
Dog
2
Cat
10
Horse
4
Fish
27
Lion
1
Let's call the column with the animals over it "A" and the one with the numbers "B", and the rows are 1-5 to make explanations easier
I am looking to have a formula return the name of the animal with the highest three numbers (fish, cat, horse), but don't need the numbers. I am pretty confident this would be an index match formula, but I'm not too familiar with those functions.

I am trying to basically search for the last non zero entry in a column and then return a value in the same row as that last non zero entry.
For example:
My first column of the table is time, second column is submission/marking of coursework (denoted by +1 & -1) and the third column is the number of courseworks awaiting to be marked. My aim is to search the third column for the last non zero value then return the time (from first column) that last non zero value appears.

I am building a table that assigns three roles to chores: Accountable, Helper1, and Helper2. I have a "user interface" tab, where there is a dropdown list where particular chores can be selected. I am looking to have the people in each role for the selected chore returned into the cells. I have attached an example file to clarification. For example, I am looking to have the name (Mike, Shannon, Tom, Blake, Kelsey, Sam) from tab #2 populated into the related cells C3, D3, and E3 on tab#1. I think it's possible with a long imbedded IF function, but I am looking for a more simple solution if possible.

I'm trying to lookup values that are a combination of text and numbers. The difficulty is I need to use two criteria to look it up. I've been trying to use a combination of Sumproduct and Index,Match but it doesn't seem to be working. I think I need to add some sort of text function in there. Below is some data for example purposes.
A B C E F G
M S Get value from G M S 5G
M T M T 6M
M U M U 7H
M V M V 8K

I would like to rows based on multiple column conditions criteria. ie., if the columns N, O, P values are "", then hide the particular row. The logic given in the website here, i tried But, it is not 100% working. It works for a few rows at the start of the database & it works for the rows at the end of the database. In between, for a few rows, even if the column values are "" it does not hide those rows.

I have a list of projects and a list of milestones and I want to extract every milestone for a project one by one. I have found a way to do this for one project but as there is not a fixed number of milestones, it's proving tricky to do it for multiple projects as I don't know how to tell the formula to stop looking at the Project 1 and move on to Project 3 for example.
This is a very very simplified version of my table (there are other columns inbetween and many more projects)
Project 1Milestone 1
Project 1Milestone 2
Project 1Milestone 3
Project 1Milestone 4
Project 1Milestone 5
Project 2Milestone 1
Project 2Milestone 2
Project 2Milestone 3
Project 2Milestone 4
Project 2Milestone 5
Project 2Milestone 6
Project 2Milestone 7
Project 3 Milestone 1
Project 3 Milestone 2

I have a set of cells and i want it to return all of the distinct or unique values within that matrix. for example, lets say this table charts how many sales an employee makes in a week.
sun mon tues weds thurs fri sat
john doe 1 0 3 2 3 0 0
jane doe 0 8 0 1 0 7 0
james doe 3 3 2 3 2 1 1
the desired output would be: 0,1,2,3,7,8
I don't want to be copying all of the cells or doing a lot of manipulation - i know i can copy, sort, and get unique values that way - i want a formula where as i plug in values, this field is updated to include all of the distinct or unique values.

I have a pretty large table,(153,000 rows) My lookup_value is a 7 digit number. If my lookup_value isn't in the lookup_vector, it should return "#N/A" (which it does most of the time) but I noticed it was returning a result when the lookup_value didn't exist...it didn't exist anywhere in the table.

I have two (2) different values in the same column one value is text (INV) the other is a time date stamp 05/18/2012 10:48:32. The text i want to return in a seperate column for these two is if it is INV then the result is "PENDING" if it is a date 05/18/2012 etc. then the result would be "PAID" example:
Payment Status
05/08/2012 10:30:12
INV
05/17/2012 08:27:37
INV
and so on...................

The code below (ran from Excel vba) deletes all data from an Access table, paste data from Excel into another table, and then run two Access Macro's and paste data from yet another table back into Excel.
My problem is that when I run the query from Excel, the data returned to Excel is always zero. When I step through the code, and check the Access database, all the steps are carried out properly. E.g, the delete query is deleting all the records in the correct table, the append query is copying the correct data into the correct table in Access. The two macros do run, but then when the resulting table is returned to Excel, it brings back zero's.
Doing all this manually in Access is returning the data correctly.
The two Access macros are running some queries, E.g. the "001 UpdateLatestData" is running two queries and the "002 CreateMonthlyResults" is running about 15 separte queries.
Sub OPENACCESSTABLE_DELETE_ROWS1()
Dim db As Object
Dim accApp As Object
Access_DB = ActiveWorkbook.Worksheets("MACRO").Range("C1").Value
DBPath = "C:MinetteProperty.mdb"
Set oApp = CreateObject("Access.Application")
oApp.Visible = True
oApp.OpenCurrentDatabase DBPath
'Delete Query
DoCmd.RunSQL "DELETE [001 non motor data].* FROM [001 non motor data]"
Set accApp = GetObject(Access_DB) .........................

Any way to create a calculated field in an Excel 2010 pivot table that will find all the Transaction Types (Report Filter) with "transportation" in them and make the field Quantity 0 and leave all other quantities the same? I do not want the quantity of transportation added in twice and may not have the flexibility of adding a column to the raw data.
I used the formula below in a calculated field and it does not match the values using the added column to the data file.
=IF(ISERROR(SEARCH("*transportation*",'Transaction Type')),Quantity, 0)
I am trying to get the sum of Quantity field to equal the AdjQuantity field using a calculated Pivot field and not add a new column to the data.

I'm trying to streamline my spreadsheet a bit. Sometime last year I managed to use the formula found (on the attached file) in cell K4 to assign a numerical value to a lettered grade. However, it's been a year or so since I thought about it and so I've completely forgotten how to edit it to make it more appropriate for this spreadsheet!
Essentially what I'm trying to do is a workaround for what I've already done in columns E and F: I'm trying to show the difference between two grades (letters) as a numerical value. Is there a way to do this, or is the VLOOKUP work around I've used in columns E and F going to be the simplest way?

| item1, item2, item4 |
Elsewhere I have a set of points for these like this:
| item1 | 4 |
| item2 | 2 |
| item3 | 3 |
| item4 | 1 |
(the |'s represent cell borders, if it isn't obvious)
What I want is a formula that can grab the text, then produce a total score. So, for my example, the result would be 7, totalling the scores for item1, item2, and item4.
I know that the score lookup is trivial (just a VLOOKUP), but I can't figure out how to do the scan for the data from a single cell. I want the items to remain in a single cell if possible.

I have 3 tables as per the attached samples (there is more but this is a sample for now).
In the table below these I have what I am trying to do. There is the manual input and the auto output based on the inputs.
e.g. if I input 12 in size, ball in type & A01B in piping class I hope to get the following output 20, 35, 51, 67, 83, 99 in the respective columns.
The formula needs to work across all three tables at the same time.

This is probably a pretty basic question, but I can't find an answer in Excel help or on the interwebs. I have an IF formula and I'd like 0 returned if the statement is false (e.g. =IF(A1<>0, A1, 0)); however, I would like the 0 returned as text. I've tried the TEXT function and using ` in different places, but all to no avail.

I have 3 columns of numerical data. In my fourth column, I would like to return the minimum value from the 3 previous columns (=min). However, instead of returning the lowest number, I would like it to return the column title (=text) of the lowest number. I haven't been able to locate a function that does this.

I am compiling data from several different, variable, worksheets. I am using
concatenate to add the name of each worksheet into a formula to pull the
appropriate data.
However, it is returning the text of the formula instead of
the results of the formula. How can I make it calculate the result instead of
simply displaying the formula text?

Store 1
Store 2
Store 3
Store 4
Top Selling
Second
Third
Fourth
[code]....
I am trying to find two formulas:
Formula 1: Formula 1 will be entered into rows 6:9 (in this example). I need it to return the highest selling product (by store) in order form highest selling to lowest selling. I have a makeshift formula already but it cannot report in order (only the highest selling) and it cannot get past the one return index( limitation. When it finds two high sellers it prioritizes the ranking based on how well that product has sold across the other stores. Product 1 sold 13 times across all stores. Product 2 sold 9 times across all stores. So if product 1 & 2 tie for Store 3 (as shown in the example) Product 1 would be chosen based on its sales across the row.
Formula 2 : Same as formula 1 but with Stores (in column 6-9). It reports the highest selling store and treats ties the same way as formula 1.

I have this web query to retrieve Stock Market data for individual scrips which used to work fine till 2 weeks ago:
[url]
Since then all it returns is the text in the tables. Numbers eg dates and stock prices come as blanks.
These show up alright in the browser (Mozilla as well IE).
Some other tables at this site plugged into query return complete data. eg [url]
I tried many different scrips with same results.
Since it was working fine till 2 weeks ago AND other tables at this site are working fine, I suppose the site changed something.

I have been trying a few formulas to return numbers from a string of text. The problem I am having is that there are more than one set of numbers that I need returned.
Here is an example of the text entered in F2
"K2PT bus structure [2 locations] & strain structure South West of L9L12-12 [1 location] / Use #4/0, std, cu conductor, connector Cat ID#10842 at structure leg & connector Cat ID#9655 at #4/0, std, cu gnd loop to connect #4/0, std, cu gnd loop to str leg."
What I need returned in a cell H2 is the numbers beside the Cat ID#
10842, 9655
I tried a Return Right Value formula, but I think because there are more than one possible value it isn't working properly.

Example, the real data is about 38,000 entries. I want to build a query to return the value of Column D (pax count) based on the values of Columns A (ID) and C (Date)
This would feed into a second, ID specific table, like this-

1/07/20132/07/20133/07/20134/07/20135/07/20136/07/20137/07/2013
(value) (value) (value) (value) (value) (value) (value)
SUMPRODUCT, usually my mainstay, is for some reason letting me down, returning a value of 0 for everything irrespective.

I am trying to model emergence timing of eggs based on cumulative temperature units. When the eggs (Column L) deposited on a given date have accumulated 1600 tu's (a running total of Column N) I wish to return the original number (Column L) to a column (Column Q) in Excel. I have also tried returning the date at which cumulative tu's reach 1600 with dget. Unfortunately, I can't figure out how to use Dget or some other function to deal with the relative sums for each value and step through to the next value when the first is returned.
I can get the first number by entering the following formula into Column Q, =IF(SUM(N$9:N18)>1600,M$9,0) but I don't know how to increment it once the first value is returned.

I have a spreadsheet with 2 worksheets within it. These are simply called sheet 1 and sheet 2.
On sheet 2 I have cell A1 containing =(TODAY())
Also on Sheet 2 I have cells A28 to A39 containing Month names and cells B28 to B39 containing values. Like this
January 1000.00

March 2500.00
April 1250.00
May 1750.00
June 2200.00

Take the displayed date from a cell, in this case formatted as yyyymmdd, and simply display the date as plain text, not converted to the 1900 date system. For example, I have a date cell that reads 20080610, but everything I have tried returns 39609. But I want it to return 20080610 in plain text so that I can use RIGHT and LEFT functions to extract the year, month and day.
