I use this formula to give me a "name" associated with the largest number in a list. But I can't get it to work when I use it on a win/loss number such as
"7-1". It won't read it.
I'm trying to find the largest number in a row and then have the column heading (text) as the result. I can find the largest number by using =max(numb1, numb2 ....) but then how do I get the heading of the column as the result. An example of what I want to happen is below
Red Green Blue Orange Yellow Result
2 4 3 6 1
[code]...
I anticipate an issue where 2 columns have the same largest number and not sure how to over come this either with multiple answers
I'm trying to create a formula in cell f13 of my attached spreadsheet "Sample 1" that will search the 2nd attached spreadsheet "Sample 2" and return the correct serial number based on both the matching PO # (located in cell E10 on Sample Sheet 1 and in Column 5 on Sample Sheet 2) and Product # (cell A13 on my Sample Sheet 1). My current formula is not returning the correct result and I'm not sure why.
I am looking for a formula or something - that when a reference number is used - it popluates cells from a list. Attached is a sample spreadsheet - 2 worksheets are being used - 1 is Purchase List and the 2nd is Fax Commitment. When reference no is filled in on the Fax Commitment sheet and it = the same reference no as on the Purchase List - I need it to populate the appropriate fields (in this case I have colour coded)
when i selelct a number of a the dropdown list can i get it to show other number in the cell below? example if i select 7:00-15:00 from that list it would show 8:00 in the cell below..
I'm attempting to sort a list of containers and their corresponding quantities (A24:B28 in the attached spreadsheet) by using a combination of an index and match formula (cells A31:A35) and a large formula (cells B31:B35) in order to have the container with the largest quantity (summed in cells B24:B28) appear below in cells A31:A35 and the corresponding quantities in cells B24:B28.
My current index and match formula works fine until I have the same quantities of different containers as I have replicated on the attached spreadsheet. When this is the case, the formula returns only one of the various container types. How do I edit the formula to allow for multiple containers with the same quantities?
I am trying to do something for a baseball game I am creating. What I am looking for is a formula for one cell that will basically give me a whole number when a certain criteria is met. I am also looking for this cell's formula to get part of it's formula from another cell in the document. So let's use cell A1 has 1.50 in it. I want this other cells formula to be able to give me a 9 if A1 is 0.00-1.50, a 8 if A1 is 1.51-2.79, 7 if A1 is 2.80-4.30, a 6 if A1 is 4.31-5.49 and 5 if A1 is 5.50-500.00.
I need a formula to give me a MIN or MAX value only if there is a number greater than 0 in the cell AND not alphabetical letters (as some cells do contain). I need it to return the value for that cell across about ten sheets--I have that part figured out (I think). But I keep getting a #Ref error.
I'm wanting a function to display the largest number starting with 7,8 and 9.
I have a list of 4 digit numbers, beginning 7,8, or 9, and want 3 different cells.
I need: One displaying the largest number in the group starting with 7. One displaying the largest number in the group starting with 8. And one displaying the largest number in the group starting with 9.
Could I make use of an IF function and the MAX function?
Something like: M20: =IF("1st digit = 7", "display the largest of the list") M21: =IF("1st digit = 8", "display the largest of the list") M22: =IF("1st digit = 9", "display the largest of the list")
I've used =MAX(H5:H75), but this always displays the top "9" number.
I want something so I can show the top 8xxx number, and the top 7xxx number too.
I am having a problem in using lookup formula. Unfortunately for some entries it does not give the exact matching pair but one upper. I have attached the excel sheet. Please correct me where is the mistake. More about the sheet:
One column contains the alphabets from a certain language and second column contains corresponding unicodes. I want to search the unicode of a particulat alphabet using "lookup". Cell C4 is the key value. D4 uses lookup to get unicode value
I am trying to created a spreadsheet for work where I have created to validation drop down boxes, one each box has been selected i want it to return back with the correct answer in the 3rd column.
below are the 3 colums. i have created a validation for column 1 and 2 but when selected i want the final box to = column 3 ie. >=9, =2
My data is set out in columns, where alternate columns provide day numbers for given years (we can call these type 1 columns), with adjacent columns containing values which correspond to those type 1 column day numbers (we can call these type 2 columns). There are about a hundred columns in total (50 of each type). I would like to get excel to return the three largest numbers within each type 2 column, but I want to exclude data within the type 2 column above the point which is adjacent to a specific (varying) day number in the type 1 column. The location of this point varies for all the type 1 columns, according to a third row of numbers (the look up start point), which are currently listed below the dataset in every type 1 column. So, for the type 1 column "year 1", I would want Excel to ignore the values 0 and 1, which are listed next to day numbers 78 and 79, and begin looking for the three largest values down the column starting from the value which is adjacent to 81 (which is a 2). In type 1 column "year 2", excel would start looking for the largest values from the cell adjacent to 78, so it would ignore the 18 at the top of the column,and would return 2 and 12. And so on.
I have a total of six columns divided in to 3 columns. Each column has a number in it. I need a formula to tell me which number from the 2nd 3 columns match the number or numbers from the 1st 3 columns.
EX.
123 367 ..... the #3 is a match. the number 3 is in the 1st position. I need a column to relay this information

There is 2 sheets in total , 1 i need to inc 1-1 draw as above and the other sheet to be exc the 1-1 draw . I have attached an example of what i am trying to achieve . can offer as i have had this on excelforum.com with over 150 views and no solution
I have 2 excel files A & B. In cell A1 of file B, I use an index formula to refer to a row in file A. "INDEX('[A.xlsb]A'!$10:$10,1,2)" is the formula used (referring row 10 in file A).
If I update the row number in another cell of file B, is it possible for this formula to refer to that cell to get the row number from file A?
Following is a summarized example of my data and what I am trying to accomplish.
[Column A] contains a list of account numbers. [Column B] contains current balances, [column C] contains balances from one month ago, [column D] contains balances from two months ago. Within the same spreadsheet I want the ability to type in the account number in one cell and then the column number in another cell. For example, If I type in the account number 1234 and the column number 3, I would get the balance from [column c]...if I typed in the column number 4, I would get the balance from [column D].
My first thought was to use a simple SUMIF formula that would compare the account number I type with the account numbers found in [column A]. The problem is getting a formula that can translate the number 3 to [column C] or the number 4 to [column D]. Note: the actual spreadsheet I am using extends out to column BI.
This is simuilar to the Column Index Number used in a VLOOKUP formula.
Looking for a way to search an active cell (that has been found using macro) for numerical data and if there is some present paste this in a different location
If there is no numerical data in this this cell then paste a 0 in a different location
An example of the string contained in the cell
Product 7.5% wheat <- i would want 7.5 (or 7.5%) copied to a different cell or Product X <- i would want a 0 copied to the cell the 7.5 would be in from the above
I can find the cell to search in, i just do not know the correct way to extract the information I need.
I'm trying to build an Index-Match formula to retrieve a number from a "data" sheet onto a "summary" sheet. In example spreadsheet, I need to retrieve the stock price on a specific row from "data" sheet, and as an alternative, the most recent price.
I am trying to find a formula that populates a room number based on the number of hours used. I have a chart that is by building but multiple rooms within each.
Where I am having trouble is when there are more than one room with the same number of hours used then sometimes the formula populates the wrong room number.
Attached is my example spreadsheet of my chart. Book1.xlsx
I have shown what I need, what I have tried and a blank space to show where I need it to go.
I have lists of numbers in a columns and would like to elliminate high outlier values in each column. Each list is different so there's no way to just set a max value and say that any value above it is an outlier. What I'd like to do is to average the top 5 or so max values for example, and then say that any vale above this average is an outlier. So a formula such as =average (max1,max2,max3,max4,max5) would work if it's possible to derive max1, max2 and so on. Or maybe there's a different way of accomplishing this?
write a udf function to deal with the above ?I know large(a1:e1,1) for picking up the largest one in the row,but no idea to find the largest one when these five numbers are combined to build a 5-digit number.
[ want to find largest 5-digit (also 4 ,3 digit ) numbers combined by thess five numbers]
I've a column that contains numerical values. In my vba code, I have to select a block of cells at a time and get the row which has the maximum value. One lame approach I am doing is wasting another column that extracts the max from the block of cells using Excel's Max function, and then doing a iterative search in the numerical column to get the cell tht contains the max value, and from it get the row number
Is there a better way such tht i can avoid the looping?
so in a nutshell, i want to get the row number from a range of cells that contains the maximum value
I'm making a Excel 2013 spreadsheet that has formula in a column that auto enters a number 1-40 when something is entered to the left of that cell. There are 300 rows in the spreadsheet. I would like to make a drop down list in a column cell to the right that would delete that number in that cell from the drop down list. For example cell C1 has 39, that 39 then is deleted from the drop down list. C2 has 22 in it, click on the drop down list cell and it shows 1-40 less 39 and 22.
I have created a monitoring spreadsheet for a public School system. It pulls data from 5 seperate excell files. however when a lookup value that is further down the list on the largest table it returns no data. other cells can lookup that same number and return correct information but from a different table.
The table that has issues is A1 - Y12430.. if the lookup value is low in the first few thosand rows it works.. but if thye value is in say row 9,000 it can not locate it..
