Totaling Numbers By Names

Sep 8, 2013

[URL]

The output of my magic spreadsheet, developed to run the local flower show, is a column of names - each of which have won a prize valued in points. I need to determine which person in the list of names has won the most points in total, in order to award a trophy.

Actually, I also need to know how many points each individual has got because - as we all know - points make prizes. And I need to write out one prize voucher for each individual, to the total value of what they won.

Now I have been sorting each column alphabetically, then manually totting up the points, and adding the three totals together. But surely, there must be a way to do this automatically? I don't really want to have to sort the columns at all... just have the answers appear like magic once the data is in the data entry part of the sheet.

Here's an example:

1ST PRIZE
NAME
VALUE
2ND PRIZE

Self Totaling Columns With Names In Each Cell

Mar 4, 2009

I have Excel 2007 and have a spreadsheet with 26 columns that I continue to add names to each of the columns. Is there a way that the columns can maintain an ongoing total for each column and update these totals as names are added to each column? Small sample is attached.

Sum Numbers Based On Corresponding Names

Dec 15, 2008

Using two columns of data:
Column A with a list of first names sorted by first name, Column B with a different integer value for every cell in Column A. How do I write a formula that sums the values contained in Column B for each unique first name in Column A? The formula needs to identify where first name changes in Column A as there are different numbers of entries in Column A for each first name. (Note: I do not wish to use sub-totals, as I want to copy/paste values back into the results column and use sort to generate a new lookup table)

Have attached an example of the two columns I would like to test. Ideally I would like to see the results in a third adjacent column with the sum displayed only where a new first name appears in first column (the cells would be blank in the third column when the first name is the same as the row above).

Matching Names With Numbers (total)

Sep 1, 2009

In Cell A1 I have a name (John Doe). In cell A2 I want the formula which will be a number total. In Cells A4:A20 I have a list of names with John being in several of them. In Cells J4:J20 I have numbers. There is data in between the name and numbers that I don't need.

So, I want A2 to search A4:A20 and everytime it sees John Doe to add the numbers that are 9 cells over (J4:J20). This is basically to show how many mistakes John has made (total). I tried =Sumproduct((A4:A20=A1), (J4:J20,1,0)). I know I am missing something or not on the right track.

Series Collection Names Instead Of Numbers?

Aug 30, 2013

I have a graph with something like 40 series that are being plotted. For one, I create non-standard data labels using VBA. In that code, I refer to ChartObjects(1).Chart.SeriesCollection(34). At some point I deleted a series that preceded it in the "select data" list and the code crashed. Took a lot of digging to learn that SeriesCollection(34) had become SeriesCollection(33).

To avoid this in the future, is there a way to refer to the SeriesCollection by a unique name rather than a sequential number?

Adding Month Names Not Numbers

Apr 19, 2007

I have this macro (below) which produces the the date on a file name when I update it every month. However, I would like it to show a different version of the date and in a different location.

At present it produces the following (example):

Ice_Cream_Report_Month_07-02

What I would like is:

Ice_Cream_Report_Month_Feb07 (or even Feb-07 would be fine)

Macro:

Option Explicit

Private Sub ComboBox2_Change()

End Sub

Private Sub ComboBox3_Change()

Averaging Numbers From Similar Names

Oct 14, 2009

I have tried looking for similar questions in the forum and couldn't find them. If you know of any, please let me know. My problem is that in one column I have peoples names that are repeated. I need to average numbers that are in the same row as their name. So for example:

NameDateworkPagesRevisions Revisions/PageRH9/16/09Sandy land39320.82Bryce9/18/09Price mixed use1111030.93Bryan F.9/21/09Letter (rates)6325.33Bryan F.9/21/09Bountiful Nursery64871.36Randy9/22/09SJ Subdivision58220.38RH9/25/09Park City office Condos76881.16Bryce9/25/09Evanston Motel62210.34

this list is continually added upon monthly. So for Bryce I would be able to pull 111 and 62 and have an average of 87.5 from the pages column. But if I were to add another row farther down with his name, it would change the average.

I was thinking that a repeated vlookup would work if it stopped when there was a blank in the cell, but I am unsure on how to do this. If you have any questions, let me know. I was hoping to have it in a formula in a cell above the table.

Copy Ledger Account Names And Numbers To Each Row?

Apr 22, 2014

I've been working with ledgers to analyze companies financials in detail mostly using pivot tables and charts.

I usually get the data in a format that has the account name and number as a title on top and then each entry for this account under the title. In order to get my pivots working I need to copy the account name and number to each row until the next title.

Here is a picture to understand what I mean: Makrokyssäri.png

So is there a formula or a macro that could avoid doing the copying manually?

Creating Sum Of Numbers Based On List Of Names

Jan 27, 2013

I am a small business owner with little experience in Excel and I have been trying to set up a worksheet that will organize my products and finances. I organize sets of various products and sell them in bulk to customers. I was trying to recreate this in Excel so I can figure out the total price for each of these sets and easily edit them.

What I've been trying to do is to take a list of the items and assign a price to each of them. This is on a sheet titled "Prices." Here's an example:

prices.jpg

On a separate sheet titled "Sets," I created lists of items included in each particular set. To easily add or change the products I used drop down menus.

sets.jpg

I would like for the sum of the price of all the items listed under each set to add up automatically in the "Total" row. For example, in cell B7 it should display the number 10. Here is a list of the following formulas I've tried:

Formula Needed To Separate Names From Numbers

Sep 21, 2012

I have a phone list set up as LastName, FirstName PhNum all in a single column. The problem is, some last names have a space, some phone numbers are in the xxx-xxx-xxxx format while others are just an extension like xxxxx.

Example:
Smith, John 519-123-4567
Van Smit, Joe 12345

What can I use in a formula to extract the numbers so that I can end up with 2 columns, one with names, the other with numbers.

Parsing List Of Inventory Items Into Names And Numbers

Mar 28, 2014

I've got a long list of inventory items. The naming convention of these items is not totally consistent. Below is a representative sample of all the different kinds of names:

1800Brandacom (CLIENTA) 25.00
1800Brandacom 25.00
brandb (Variable)
BrandC-100.00-PL-ALG
brandd variable

[Code] .....

I need to separate out the name of the brand and the number (or if the item says "variable", use a 1 for the number) into two columns, so that the results would be:

1800Brandacom
1800Brandacom
brandb
BrandC
brandd

[Code] ....

and:

25.00
25.00
1.00
100.00
1.00

[Code] ....

For the numbers, I have used this array formula to search for the first letter in the string, and then search for the first number following the first letter, and then return all numbers up to "." Unfortunately this does not work consistently when there is a number in the middle of the brand name or the item has no number.

[Code] ....

For the names I have used this formula, which fails when the name has a "-" in it.

[Code] .....

Any way to extract the names and numbers which would work consistently across all the items!

Inserting State Names Based On Telephone Numbers

Oct 22, 2007

I have a large data set (excel file), of "Names", "Phone Numbers", and i need to sort this based on the States that correspond with the Phone numbers. The states currently do not exist in the spreadsheet, so my current problem is trying to insert those states into the spreadsheet.

There are over 100 area codes in the data set, so i'll likely have to write a large "If" statement in VB to run through them all, but that shouldnt be a problem.

NAME, PHONE, STATE
Bleh, 555-555-5555, =ChkState(B2)

I've been playing around with the VB Stuff in Excel and this is what i've come up with for trying to insert the State field

Function ChkState(pVal As String) As Long

Dim AreaCode As String
Dim StateAbrv As String

AreaCode = Left(pVal, 3)

If AreaCode = "201" Then
StateAbrv = "Test201"
ElseIf AreaCode = "203" Then
StateAbrv = "Test203"
ElseIf AreaCode = "555" Then
StateAbrv = "Test555"
Else
StateAbrv = "0"
End If
MsgBox StateAbrv
End Function

I'm fairly new to this VB stuff, my main problem stems from trying to insert the "StateAbrv" back into the Cell for the spreadsheet.

Totaling Columns

May 29, 2007

I am tracking sales commissions on a daily basis for each month. In column B are the daily dollar totals. In column C is the % to the quota that has thus far been reached. Column D has the average daily dollar amount needed to reach your quota based on cumulative daily revenue. It is this column that has me stumped.

Once the % to Quota (column C) reaches 100%, I want column D to stop calculating the average daily dollar amount needed.

The quota is $322,786 (C2)

Column B (Daily Totals) = $100,000
Column C (% to Quota) = 31%
Column D (Daily Avg. Needed for quota) = C$2/work days left in month)
