I have a column that has subcategories, and I would like to create a new column that would group those subcategories into categories.
Is there a formula that once it detects a certain word in the subcategory should give a certain category name that I choose?
Is it possible to aggregate data in a pivot table from different categories?
I have excel 2003.
For PURE illustration, I have 6 columns, A-F, respectively:
"TV Show", 4 columns for names of people who watched the show (Persons 1, 2, 3, and/or 4), and finally, the duration / "Time" of the show.
I want to see in a final output:
Anytime a person has watched the show (whether i have penned him in columns 1, 2, 3 or 4), Excel to aggregate the total hours watched by that person.
When i try to do this with my pivot table i run into an error: if Person A watched "TV Show X" in row 1 and his name is in the Person 1 Column, Excel will not aggregate his TV time with "TV Show Y" in Row 2 when his name is in the Person 2 column.
It will sum up the categories separately even if the "Person" inputs in the separate "Person" columns are exact matches.
I have a worksheet (Sheet1) that is constantly growing with information. I have several categories under the "Category" column and then the various amounts under "Amount" column. I would like to have Sheet2 be able to keep a running total of the "Amount" column for each category as it increases in entries. I've attached an example sheet.

As part of my project I have to create a data extraction excel sheet which is used as a template to extract relevant information from journal articles.
From each article I need to extract information on multiple psych. scales. For example, lets say Article 1 has information of ScaleA and Scale B so I would enter the means/sdev./... on each Scale from that article in respective columns. Article 2 might have info on Scale A and Scale C so I would enter them in respective columns.
As you see there are about 8-10 Scales with many subcategories (means,sdev,...), so my question is there a way to create a drop down menu such that all the scales (A-H) are in that menu and upon selection of a particular Scale the sub columns (with mean,sdev.,...) open beside/underneath it. I hope you understood my question.
I extracted data from PDF into a spreadsheet, and now I need to put all the data - according to name, email, address etc. into separate columns, so it is usable.
All categories of data are in 1 column at the moment - mixed up.
How can I sort this into columns according to category?
im currently working on a project that needs to consolidate the data per given date. but the thing is, all of them are located into one column. i was able to separate each category into separate columns but now, i cannot align the data on a per date basis.

I have a workbook that contains one worksheet with data. This data has 7 columns and is a database metadata report.
The columns are as follows:
Table
Joined Tables
Column Name
Column Alias
Column Description
Column Data Type
Column Length
From this data, I am looking to have a script that automates the creation of a new workbook for each unique value in the Table column (i.e. tablename.xls) and saves them to my local drive. Each workbook then would have x number of worksheets named joined table 1, joined table 2, etc that relate to the name of the table in the original Table column. Finally, each worksheet will contain the related Column data for each Joined Table as mentioned above.
I have data that is something like this:
Group Assets
1 200
1 300
2 150
3 50
1 500
3 100
I want to create a scattered plot charts based on the data above but I cant get it to work for some reason. I want to have the "Group" on the x-axis and the "Assets" on the y-axis. I don't want to combine the same group number (for example to have group 1 with total assets of 1000, I want to keep it as 200 300 and 500 because I want to show which group is more represented than other group.). I have tried sorting the data by group and also with out sorting but the data doesn't plot at all (everything looks clustered at the 0 level on the x-axis instead of the respective asset level.
I have just inherited an Excel spreadhseet that displays job titles and what types of documents each one should be trained on. What I am trying to achieve is a formula, or something to that sort, that will look at each job individually and tell me only those documents that they need to be trained on and list it on a seperate sheet.
If you look at the attached document you will see that the first 2 columns contain a document number and description. Across the top you see each of our job descriptions. In the middle you see an X that indicates that person should be trained on that document.
So once more, I would like to take each Job Description (seperately) and list only the documents that have an "x" in their column on another sheet. I already have the sheets created, I just need to know if there is some kind of formula or macro that can do this for me.
I am trying to develop a formula that will tell me whether an account has both Medicare and Medicaid or Medicaid HMO insurance. An account can have one or more lines, and one or more insurances. I manually completed the sample file in column 'D' (see attached) to come up with the desired output. The criteria is below:
-If the account has Medicare and Medicaid financial class, then it is a '5'.
-If the account has Medicare and Medicaid HMO financial class, then it is a '6'.
-Otherwise, it is a '0'.
creating a Macro to automatically group rows that has no numerical value, for example:
1. 13.4
2. 0
3. 0

So for this exercise I need excel to automatically group row 2, 3 5 with one click, and leave other rows with actual numbers visible on the sheet.
I have a huge worksheet containing Blackberries expenses of my company divided by multiple sections. Each section follows the following pattern: Example:
Client 222-5555 MY COMPANY NAME LCC
International Calls
- Call to Bahamas on June - $50,00
Local Calls
- Call to NY on June - $ 30,00
Total Price - 80,00
I would like to select each row between client and total price and paste then on multiple sheets in order to create individual invoices. The selection must be based on the client number (for instance 222-5555) that is part of the cell value.
I'm trying to figure out if there is a formula I could use that will calculate the average of a group cells in one column based on the condition of another column. It's hard to explain, so I will show an example. All the data is on a one worksheet and I'm trying to show totals and averages on another worksheet. Location, Days
17, 4
17, 3
17, 5
26, 4
26, 8
26, 10
26, 7
On a different worksheet I would want to know what the average days are for each location. So is there a formula that I could use that will look at column A for a specified location number and then average all the days in column B for that location? I'm using Excel 2003 and have tried using the Average(if) but with no success.
I've a worksheet that is 3750 rows of cells from A to DT and contains only numbers with the exception of a header row. The rows are in groups, primarily 4 rows, although there are exceptions - these rows are separated by blank rows. Small example as follows.

I have been trying to conditionally format each group of rows and each column and color the cell in each column of four (or less) numbers in each group that represents the maximum number.
It was easy enough to come up with the conditional formatting BUT it will take forever to do this manually. I've been told to use a macro but I know nothing of programming. Has anyone seen or heard of a macro that might already be written to perform this onerous task.
I have a set of data that has cost associated with it that is broken up into several categories repeatedly. The subcategories are NOT defined to a specific set of subcategories i.e. they can be anything. The subcategories may also be alphanumeric and have spaces/other special characters in them. What I want to do is to be able to pick the cost and slot it in the appropriate category in the main sheet.
The exact number of rows and columns in the data is not fixed so it would be great if this is editable in the VBA code depending on how many rows and columns the final data set has.
An example is attached. In the example I have put all the cost as 1 for simplicity but in the actual document all the costs are different values. Also in the example I did not put any category as alphanumeric or with spaces/special characters but in the actual data there may be.
The logic I can think of is to first identify all unique values in the array, insert them as new rows, then add up the cost values (this is just a suggestion).

I am trying to analyse a set of scores of different doubles tennis tournaments - new tournaments and new players are continuously being added and so need some dynamic way to analyse. I would like to extract sort of a ranking system based on the scores by each player and one way to do so is to analyse the scores by tournament. Basically the same players play in different tournaments and i want to be able to know who performs better than others i.e. get better total scores during a tournament.
The attached gives an example of the data i have as well as the result i would like to achieve. It does not really matter if a formula system or a pivot solution is provided as long as i achieve the result, and can add to it as new data is populated. I have been trying all sort of solutions using pivots, matches, lookups etc but no luck yet.

I have about 30 worksheets in the same workbook that are identically formatted. My critical/formula data range starts in Cell A537 and ends in cell O576.
Column O is just a sum of Columns C through N.
I would like to know if I can Group (not hide) the rows that have a zero in Column O. Now with 30 worksheets, I will have some worksheets that may have 5 rows grouped and some with 20 and so forth. The numbers are not identical in the 30 sheets meaning not the same rows will be grouped in all 30 sheets.
That piece there might complicate things. Basically, a macro that looks through each worksheet and and starts grouping the rows that has a 0 in column O.
I also want to restrict my macro to the range above.
Need to insert 2 blank rows and sum columns (Columns B & D; range varies) based on cell value change (Column A). In attachedment I have before and after examples.
View 6 Replies View RelatedI just want to say If Column B = "Team A" then add up Column A (where the individual's percentage score is) and then divide by the number of matches found (this last part is the main part I'm struggling with).

View 3 Replies View RelatedI am trying to write VBA code that groups cells between blank rows and inserts a message if a string of text (a name) is missing from the entire group. I want the code to search cells in column A and group the cells between blank cells.

I have several groups of data in the same sheet. Each group has two blank rows above the first row of data. Each group has column "B" in common (e.g., "Phone" in the example attached). I'd like to add a title/label of "Phone" to the first column in the row immediately preceding the first row of data for that group.
View 1 Replies View RelatedI need to group all records where the values in column A are equal. BUT I needed them sorted by another column (the whole sheet, not just within each group). Currently, all of the values in column A are listed in random order. Is there any way to do this manually?
to elaborate a bit further, consider the following:
Columns: A-B-C-etc.
1-Z...
1-X...
4-X
3-Y
4-Y
2-Z
Basically, I need to group all of the "1"'s and all of the "4"'s so that the extra values will show underneath the other. HOWEVER, I need them to be sorted such that the order in which they appear are XYZ. So the goal would be:
1-X
1-Z
4-X
4-Y
3-Y
2-Z
how to highlight C2 IF any cell in C4:C20 contain a certain value. if so, what is the formula for the rule?
View 1 Replies View RelatedI'm trying to figure out a way to group columns in a bar graph without displaying them in a cluster, but instead in displaying them individually in a specific order. However, I still want to identify each group with a different color. This is hard to describe, so I'll try my best to illustrate what I'm trying to do with an example. Assume I have three groups of data and within each group I have 2 to 3 items in it with different values. In a list the data would look like this:
Group 1 - Item 1 - $2,000
Group 2 - Item 2 - $1,100
Group 1 - Item 3 - $2,200
Group 1 - Item 4 - $3,200
Group 3 - Item 5 - $1,800
Group 2 - Item 6 - $1,200
Group 1 - Item 7 - $2,500
Group 3 - Item 8 - $2,800
What I want to do is create a bar graph that will still allow me to color all group 1 items as red, all group 2 items as blue, and all group 3 items as green while still showing each bar sorted in the order I've shown above and labeled as items 1 through 8. Then, I want a legend to only show the groups 1 - 3 with their colors. To explain, the graph would look like this:
Bar 1 would be labeled as Item 1, with a value of $2,000, and colored red
Bar 2 would be labeled as Item 2, with a value of $1,100, and colored blue
Bar 3 would be labeled as Item 3, with a value of $2,200, and colored red
Bar 4 would be labeled as Item 4, with a value of $3,200, and colored red
Bar 5 would be labeled as Item 5, with a value of $1,800, and colored green
Bar 6 would be labeled as Item 6, with a value of $1,200, and colored blue
Bar 7 would be labeled as Item 7, with a value of $2,500, and colored red
Bar 8 would be labeled as Item 8, with a value of $2,800, and colored green
Then, the legend would only show the groupings of Group 1, 2, 3, 4 and their associated colors.
(By the way... I know I can do this manually by selecting each bar and customizing the color, but I want an automated way of doing this to reduce maintenance time)
Sample workbook for Excel forum.xlsx
I have multiple lists like company A company B so on and on. each has multiple accounts maturing at different dates.how can I group accounts maturing in one particular month? the maturing dates are different in some accounts and same in others.
company A
account no maturity date
account no maturity date
company B
account no maturity date
account no maturity date
so company C, company D etc..
All are on different sheets, I tried to figure out with Vlook up, and filter, but could not make formula.
I'm working on a sheet I have to complete and I'm blocked 'cause I'm not able to find the right formula to get the result I need.
I have a sheet that contains 4 columns with the following content (consider the following just as an example. The real sheet contains more that 25,000 rows.
User ID Repository 1 Repository 2 Repository 3
001FG x
001FG x
10GA x
20PK x
20PK x
20PK x
21CC x
4C1D x
Now, the table contains the user id (unique ID) and three columns that stand for the access right the user has for accessing a specific repository.
This means that a User can have more than one occurrence in the sheet because it could have rights to access different repository (i.e. the user 20PK can access all the repository).
What I should be able to do is to transform the table above to a new one with unique user id and the rights for each repository. I would need something like this:
User ID Repository 1 Repository 2 Repository 3
001FG x x
10GA x
20PK x x x
21CC x
4C1D x
How can I do this by using a formula and not a macro?
I have certain cells in my spreadsheet that contain formulas linking them with other sheets within my workbook. I have grouped sets of rows in my first 2 sheets (to show just headings and to expand to subheadings & details). When I try protect the cells with formulas on the sheet then it blocks me from expanding or contracting the row groups.
Is there an easier way to stop someone editing or deleting the data in my cells? There are about 2 dozen cells with formulas in my first sheet that need protecting - unfortunately not in any particular order...
