Explanation Of ROW() In Formula/Function
Aug 6, 2008I have a formula in a spreadsheet set up by someone else and it says. =HLOOKUP(C$30,J$2:$N$259,ROW()-ROW($2:$2)+1,). Can some one explain what it is doing in the bolded part? I understand basic vlookup and hlookups but not what this is doing. I have looked at the help but it only says that it returns the row numbers as reference but what does that mean. - and what does the "+1," and the comma at end mean.

Dec 3, 2013let me start by saying that I know an example workbook would be useful here, but the part I'm struggling with is the [managementroster.xlsm] file, and there is A. no way I can release it to the internets and B. its so huge/complicated I couldn't even begin to reproduce a portion of it, scrubbed of data, and hope to maintain its functionality in a meaningful manner.
[Code]....
This formula checks a staff number on this spreadsheet, and then goes and looks at the staff number on the roster. Once found, it returns that staff members roster, but changes any manager codes in the MRC list to Mgr, and changes all other roster codes to Free.
I now need this formula, before altering roster codes to Mgr or Free, to only return codes that are a match for another table (or after really. I don't particularly care, so long as only codes are shown that match data from another table). I think an index/match function would do the trick, but this forumula is already at the edge of my excel ability, nesting another function within it is completey beyond me. The relevant cells for the index/match function would be:
This first Match function targets the column. $E3 is the date required, $BA$1:$DN$1 is the range the dates are entered in
Match: Lookup value = $E3
Lookup array = '[ManagementRoster.xlsm]Vacancies!'$BA$1:$DN$1
match type = 0
This second Match function targets the row. $A$4 is the department name, $B$434:$B$452 is the range where all departments are entered
Match: Lookup value = $A$4
Lookup Array = '[ManagementRoster.xlsm]Vacancies!'$B$434:$B$452
match type = 0
Index: array = $BA$434:$DN$452
So I think my final function is
[Code] .....
But I have absolutely NO idea where it would fit within my first formula, or how to code it so that my original formula only reproduces results that are found in both sheets, or anything.

Sumif And Autofilter Explanation
Sep 27, 2006I managed to find a couple of responses and solutions to a problem I'm having but I can't quite seem to make it work in my example (probably because I have no idea on how to decipher the formula...)
The problem I'm having is that I have an autofiltered log on one worksheet and on a seperate worksheet, a summary reflects the autofiltered criteria but I also need the summary to break down the information by month.
The formula I'm trying to manipulate is:
= SUMPRODUCT(SUBTOTAL(3, OFFSET(C3:C9,ROW(C3:C9)-MIN(ROW(C3:C9)),,1)),--(C3:C9="John"),H3:H9)
But I've never used sumproduct or offset before so I'm not sure how to manipulate it... or if this is even the right solution!

Seeking A Formula Instead Of Having To Use Goal Seek?
Jun 4, 2014Say employee John Doe has a salary X. Giving him a salary raise Y (euro/dollar) induces a pension premium to be paid by the employer, on that amount.
The premium is (fixed) 17% of the part above a (fixed) treshold value of 3.750. On the part of the raise below the 3.750, the pension premium is (fixed) 4,35%.
E.g. having a salary of 3.600, with a raise of 400.
4,35% of (3.750 - 3.600 = 150) equals 6,525
And 17% of the remaining 250 equals 42,500
So the total premium is 49,025
But, I want to give a raise with a total cost of no more than 400. So, I use goal seek to find a raise that, together with te pension premiums equals 400.
In the example, with 3.600 as a salary to start with, that raise would be 358,10 Because the part below 3.750 stays the same and induces a premium of 4,35% of 150, being 6,525 and the remaining part is 208,10 at 17% is 35,377.
Proof: 358,10 + 6,525 + 35,377 = 400
The question is: is there a possibility to have a formula that calculates the (e.g.) 358,10 based on a salary to start with (e.g. 3.600), an aimed total cost (e.g. 400) and the fixed constants 3.750, 17% and 4,35%?

Seeking Way To Display Numbers Underlying Formulas
Jan 12, 2007I'm looking for an answer about how I can show the numbers underlying a
nested IF function. The formula works fine, but I need to be able to show
how I arrived at the numbers that I did. Here is an example of one of the formulas:
=IF(B9=1,(B4*Data!G5*Data!F5),IF(Calculations!B10=2,(Calculations!B5*Data!G5*Data!F5),IF(Calculations!B11=3,(Calculations!B6*Data!G5*Data!F5),0)))
Instead of the reference to the cell, I would like the formula that the cell represents. I know that I could go through individually and pull each piece apart with control F9, but since there are numerous cells and because the data changes every time I create a new budget, it would help if I could have some way to display it all with one action.
Seeking Formula To Separate Cells That Contain Specific Terms?
Mar 18, 2014I have thousands of data entries (each in their own row, all in one column) and need to separate the basic info. In the example below, say you want to isolate the Town names by entering a formula that can produce a TRUE or FALSE result. Is there a way to use the FIND function and a pool of terms to isolate cells that contain excess data (i.e.- produce a FALSE result for cells containing any words from a term pool like : "Police, Park, Power, Water, Community, Bakery, Grocery, Field, Garden, Post Office, School" etc... ) ?

Explanation For Formula That Counts Number Of Numeric Characters
Nov 21, 2012The formula below was posted recently as a way to extract a numeric substring from somewhere in larger string. When I first saw this formula, how it "came up with the goods" and so I spent some time looking at parts of it to see what they did.
Although I've made some progress, I still don't fully understand it. Heres the formula, and below Ive detailed how far I've got:
=Iferror(lookup(9.99e+307,--mid(a1,min(find({1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9,0},a1&1234567890)),row(indirect("1:"&len(a1))))),0)
I hope my findings below are correct:
1. The formula is returning the first substring of contiguous numeric characters from the full string in Cell A1
2. 9.99e + 307 ensures that the search value won't be exceeded by the returned value.
3. The Mid function uses Min(Find( to get the character position of the first numeric in A1 (so MID then has its first 2 parameters). So far so good.
4. Now... I cant work out where MID parameter 3 (the substring length) comes from. I suspect its the row function, but can't see how as this isn't an array formula, and without CTRL+Shift+ Enter, I could only get Row to return 1 in my experiments (giving me only the first substring digit).
How does the formula return the correct number of numeric characters, (apparently) without counting them?

Compare 2 Tables For Exact Row (images Attached For Explanation)
Sep 3, 2013I'm making a basic excel sheet as a hotel reservation tables. Sometimes we accommodate who do not follow the hotel regulation, so we add them to the black list table, made from (First name, Last name, Phone number). See image below:
Then if we reserve for a new customer, we use this sheet:
Here is my question:
what should i do, to make a raw color turn to red if i have entered a black listed visitor ?
e.g. if i enter "Martin" as a first name, AND "Issa" as Last name, AND "76344909" as a Phone. then the raw will turn to red to indicate that this customer is black listed.
Seeking Formula To Convert Specific Text To Number?
Apr 29, 2014I have created an online survey, and people choose ten words (skills) out of 24 possible. Please see screenshot. I would like a formula that does this in layman's terms: "If I see the word "Cooperation" in the source cell, then I'll put "03b" into the target cell; but if I see "Managing" in the source cell instead, I'll put "21a" in the target cell, etc."
I've tried a few IF / Then statements, with no success. Screenshot shows the source cell upper right, and the ten target cells below left with two rows of sample results. I'm guessing the same formula can be in each of the 10 target cells.

View 5 Replies View RelatedUsing Index Match Function?
Mar 24, 2013I've been working on a payroll program for my small biz. I'm close to done BUT...When I use the Index Match function in a cell it works great. However I need to copy it down a column to work for pay periods going forward. When I copy it down of course it puts zeros or N/A.
Columns:
Gross Fed FICA Medicare State Net
F G H I J K
Gross is user input. FICA Medicare State and Net are simply calculated on the sheet. But to get Fed Income tax I use the Index Match function and it works perfectly. The rows increment properly with each new user input.
My question: Fed Income tax is dependent on what the Gross is in order to look up the tables with the Index Match function. How do I get the result of the function into column G? Can I increment up Column G and ignore the zeros that dragging the function down G creates?

Replace INDIRECT With INDEX Or Another Function
Jul 4, 2009I am working on a spreadsheet which contains a number of reference data sheets (named “Reference data 2009”, “Reference data 2010” etc). As their names suggest, these sheets contain reference data applicable to the particular year. This reference data is used to perform various calculations in a “Calculations” sheet.
On the “Calculations” sheet, the user specifies the year for which they wish to perform calculations. At present, I am using the volatile INDIRECT function to perform various HLOOKUP calculations along the following lines:
=IF(D15>=HLOOKUP('Detailed net pay calculations'!D16, INDIRECT("'Reference data" & 'Detailed method'!$C$2 & 'Detailed net pay calculations'!D1 & "'!$B$43:$Y$52"), 4, FALSE), “Do something”, “Do something else”)
The reason I'm using the INDIRECT function is to identify the sheet with the appropriate year (hence "Reference data"&'Detailed method'!$C$2&'Detailed net pay calculations'!D1 which could be interpreted by Excel as "'Reference data 2009NEW" or "'Reference data 2010", depending on whether there's text in cell D1).
My query
The function I'm using is working perfectly fine but I am wondering if it is possible to replace the INDIRECT function (in red) with INDEX or another non-volatile function in order to reduce the performance impact (I have a fairly large number of these types of functions).

VBA Replacement For Index And Small Function
May 10, 2012I compile ratings for racehorses and am currently extracting the data I need using an array formula. Unfortunately there are are many thousands of lines of data and it can take quite some time for the data to pull through.
Here is a sample of the formula's I am currently using. I cannot take credit for the formulas by the way I found them on the web.
IF(ISERROR(INDEX('Database 2012'!$A$1:$B$300,SMALL(IF('Database 2012'!$A$1:$A$300=Ratings!$A3,ROW('Database 2012'!$A$1:$A$300)),1),2)),"",INDEX('Database 2012'!$A$1:$B$300,SMALL(IF('Database 2012'!$A$1:$A$300=Ratings!$A3,ROW('Database 2012'!$A$1:$A$300)),1),2))
Basically I have 2 sheets (Database 2012, Database 2011) with the horse names with ratings next to them for each run, One sheet for this season one for last season.
These are sorted in date order. then I have a ratings sheet that shows the horse name and then to the right it has columns for each of its last 4 ratings.
The formulas I use look for the horse name on the database sheet then put the rating in latest rating in the first column then the 2nd latest in the next column and so on until the last 4 ratings are shown. If there are not 4 ratings to find the is an iserror at the beginning of the formula to populate that cell with a blank so that the errors dont show.
What I want to know is there a way of doing what the formula does using VBA and more importantly would it be quicker than using array formulas which are very slow to recalculate when there are 1000's of lines.
