Sum Ignoring Two Lowest Entries
Dec 12, 2006I need to create a sum ignoring the two lowest entries in a series of cells. I have a way to ignore the lowest entry, but not the two lowest.
=IF((COUNT(D8,F8,H8,J8,L8,N8,P8,R8)

I'm trying to craft a gradesheet for my son's teacher and I am runnning into a problem obtaining a students average. In one row I've listed the possible questions for all the tests whether the test has been taken or not. In the row below I've listed "questions answered correctly" for only the tests they've taken. I need a way to calculate the overall avergae of the student while ingoring columns with null values in the "questions answered correctly" row.
I know there is a way to ignore zeroes by excluding them with an IF statement but I didn't want to do that in case one of the students actually did get a zero. As the attached example shows the simple sum function renders a 25% average while the average should actually be 50%.
I am trying to configure a formula using RANK to do the following:
- Sort scores from highest to lowest (range from 1 to 900)
There will be 64 entries total (64 man bracket) and i would like to rank them from highest score (900 is highest score) to lowest score (1 is lowest score).
This is for a bowling bracket. The names of the bowlers will be in column A. The scores will be in column B. Their RANK will be in column C.

I have the formula working for the average of the 4 lowest of all, using "AVERAGE" and "SMALL"; need for average of 4 lowest in most recent 7
I have a column I want to average however it contains zero's and #DIV/0 entries in it.
Those entries are from linked sheets that have not been populated and are supposed to be there. I want to average the column that contains these values but want the values excluded from the calculation until they are populated with real numbers.
What I need to do is sort certain entries in longer list (column A, it is in .csv format and needs to be in it so coordinates and names and ID, all sorted with commas) and I have another list (column C) which is shorter list of certain IDs. I googled and tried and got some results for the basic structure but the fuction seems to fail. It doesn't matter how I get that third list done, but there is only one criteria: since the list in column A is really long and those entries need to keep the .csv formatting, the function should copy that info what is in the matching cells.
Let me try to put it simple: .csv cells from column A that have matching ID from column C should be copied to column B (or N).
the function I'm working with right now is
=IF(ISERROR(FIND($C:$C; A1))=TRUE;"0";A1)
I have a list of data and I want to identify the unique entries for both columns but the second column has to unique to the unique values in the first column.
Example List
Fruit
Color
Apple

I have rows of data with numbers and these #DIV/0! errors. I need a sum formula so when going through the entire row it will ignore these errors, at the moment as they are included in my sum formula the total is also giving me #DIV/0!

The module I want transferred is working the assigning of the macro within that module to the button is working, however, when it gets to the FillSalesSheet section it opens the said workbook but then jumps to the module and the FillSalesSheet in that.
Module 1 which I would like ignored on the newly formed workbooks looks like this: ...
I have stacked formulas that look for values via vlookup and index match functions.
Sometimes the worksheet will have ( 100 ) separated into 3 columns (open parenthesis, number, closed parenthesis) and the formula will pull the first column containing the parenthesis. How can I write the formula to ignore the "(" and get to the "100"?
The formula uses ISERROR to move forward, could I incorporate ISNUMBER also or is there a better way to do this?
I'd like to sum the following, ignoring F.O.Cs

I am using a simple SUM formula like this, =SUM(D10:E10). I would like for the SUM cell to be left blank until a value is entered into the cells D10. Currently it calculates the SUM as 0.

=(a+b+c+d+e+f+g)/7 what happens if "e" is a holiday and I need to divide by 6, or in the case of xmas if "d and e" are holidays and I need to divide by 5?
I'm trying to average a column range range =AVERAGE(A5:A29) that has blank cells not yet populated and also cells with formulas that contain the #DIV/0! error.
Obviously the cell with my formula produces the #DIV/0! error when it tries to average this range. Can someone point me in the right direction so the formula =AVERAGE(A5:A29) will work?
I need a formula that will find the mode from a range of numbers but ignore the 0's. I have worked out the below array formula which seems to work.
{=IF(MODE(IF(N18:P25>0,N18:P25))=1,"Low",IF(MODE(IF(N18:P25>0,N18:P25))=2,"Secure",IF(MODE(IF(N18:P2 5>0,N18:P25))=3,"High")))}
The only thing is, if only one cell contains a number other than 0 (eg. 1,2 or 3) then it returns #N/A. Ideally i'd like it to show the appropriate response for the number that is in the number range. For example - if one cell shows the number 2 and the rest are 0's, i'd like it to show Secure(the response for 2) rather than #N/A.
I have a line graph that charts certain data per day in a month.
During the weekend there is no data. The graph however considers the number as zero, and I want it to just "skip" that day and plot the line directly from the friday date to the monday, instead of the line touching zero on saturday's and sundays.
Is it possible to do this? Or am I forced to adapt my table to only include days of the week?
I am a excel novice and can't seem to find a solution to this problem, there's most likely a simple solution. I want to calculate the total of N - M in L only if N is > £0, If I have not got a selling price in N how can I make cell L show blank?
I have attached a sample of the sheet.
I have the following formula but I want to ensure that the sum ignores any text so I don't get #VALUE! returned. I've tried including ISERROR but doesn't seem to be working correctly. The formula is: =IF(H19+H20+H21+H22+H23+H24+H25+H26+H27+H28>0,SUM(H19:H28),"")

so it has
steve jones 10

(4) steve jones #N/A
i would like to be able to do a vlookup on another tab of that information and just import everything except ( ) and the contents
I've recorded some macros for completing formatting tasks and I'd like to know if there is a way of asking the macro to ignore sheets if there is no data.
The files are reports we export from our accounting system and they need to be tidied up, named and sorted. It's the sorting and subtotalling that is causing an issue because not every department has transactions every month. I'd like the macro to skip over sheets with no transactions and continue on.
I have a combo box with a list of vendors. The problem is that a vendor can appear more than once. The list of vendors is dynamic so new vendors can be added and still appear in the combo box but how can I get the combox box list to only recognize the vendor name once so I don't have multiple duplicate vendors showing in the list?

View 3 Replies View RelatedIn my spreadsheet, I have a formula that extract to other column only non duplicates, then I want this information in other column sort by the lowest number but without the zero.
Column A, all numbers extracted
Column B, all non duplicates, where normally we have one zero.
I want the result from Column B in other sheet like that:
SheetA, Column B: 637,635,663,0,618.
SheetB, Column A, RowX: 618;635;637;663.
I'd like to record the highest / lowest value in a single cell without it being written over i.e record the highest value and if there is another value lower it wont overwrite it.
I've tried using the =max or =min but whenever a newer value appears in the cell it just follows that without keeping the higher value?
I need to search across 15 columns and return the lowest value in that row? How to do this?
View 8 Replies View RelatedI have a long list with names of banks. I also have three different numbers (between 1 and 10) for every bank. Eg Bank A 5 7 4, Bank B 5 9 3. Sometimes there are not three numbers for a bank but only one or two. There are never more than three numbers though. I want to have a forth column. This column shall give me a new number based on the other numbers. The sorting shall work like this. If a bank only has one number then that number shall be presented in the forth coulmn. If there are two numbers then the lowest one shall be used. If there are three numbers then the two highest numbers shall be chosen and if they are different the lowest one of the two highest shall be presented in the forth coumn. I do not know if you can do this using normal worksheet function of if a user defined function is necessary.
View 9 Replies View RelatedI am trying to create a formula that will show the lowest of three separate cells. I don't know how to do the Vb script,
This is what I need:
Cell H34 HOURLY RATE (=$920)
Cell I34 DAILY RATE (=$980)
Cell J34 MONTHLY RATE (=$1020)
Cell K34 displays the text "HOURLY" since it's the lowest of those 3 options
I want to count back the last 6 cells in column S which has data (ignoring any blank cells) and add them up.
My data is ranging betwen S62:S143 (with S144 being the cell that I want to show the total for the last 6 cells with data). I have column headings and various other bits of data from S1:S61 that I want to exclude completely but need to keep for historical purposes.
Here is an example of some of the data in column S:
56
BLANK CELL
BLANK CELL
BLANK CELL
45
34
BLANK CELL
BLANK CELL
37
BLANK CELL
BLANK CELL
42
BLANK CELL
46
49
BLANK CELL
BLANK CELL
36
35
This is my formula so far:
=SUM(OFFSET(S62,0,0,COUNTA(S62:S143)))
I have tried adding a negative and positive number on the end of the COUNTA formula but all it does is count all the cells within that given heigh range, not a specific number of cells with data.
I don't specifically need to use SUM. As long as I get a total.
how to ignore errors when using DAVERAGE?
View 11 Replies View RelatedI have two issues with an excel graph to automate it.
My first problem is that I have to manually select the source data when the data changes inside my spreadsheet. I have 35 slots that represent a 5 week period. Because the first day of the month does not always start on the first day of the week, I have to allow the extra 5 slots in my template. I have the cells set to show blank when there is no data entered in certain cells. Therefore, only days that the machine is up gets put into the 35 cell table. When I do this, the blank cells show up as 0 on the graph and it skews the line. I need some solution that will allow me to tell the graph to ignore zeros.
The second issue is the title in my graph. I have a set title, but need it to pull "Month Year" and "c81" from the worksheet it is on. I cannot seem to get it to populate automatically in the label. I would like it to look like the following:
614 Machine Uptime Percentage
%Month Year%
MTD PCT (%c81%)
where the %name% is the automatically populated item. I don't necessarily have a problem with hiding a cell and linking the label to that cell inside the graph, but I need it to change those two items automatically.
Im certain that a resolution to both of these items exist and I am certain it is an easy thing that I will be kicking myself in the rear over once I find out the resolution, but I need to get this done and im tired of wasting time. I hope this makes sense. If you need me to post an excel file as an example, I will be more than happy to.
