With Table1 and Table2 as indicated in the screenshot. Where the MATCH function is used to find the correct row to return from array, and the INDEX function returns the value at that array. However, in this case we want to make the array variable, so that the range given to INDEX can be changed on the fly. We do this with the CHOOSE function: The CHOOSE function returns a value from a list using a given position or index....
Fields The pivot table shown is based on two fields: Department and Last. The Department field is configured as a Row field, and the Last field is a Value field, added twice: The Last field has been added twice as a value field. The first instance has been renamed “Count”, and set summarize by count: The second instance has been renamed to “%”. The summarize value setting is also Count, Show Values As is set to percentage of grand total:...
The FIND function is used to figure out how many characters to extract: Find returns the position of the first match (6 in the first example) from which 1 is subtracted. The result, 5, goes into LEFT like this: and the LEFT function returns the first five characters from the left: “Happy”. Note: because this formula finds the first occurrence of “.”, it will remove all file extensions when there are are more than one....
With $1,000 in cell F5, this formula returns $7,400, the sum of values in D5:D16 greater than $1,000. SUMIF function The SUMIF function is designed to sum cells based on a single condition. The generic syntax for SUMIF looks like this: For example, to sum values in D5:D16 that are greater than $1,000, we can use the SUMIF function like this: We don’t need to enter a sum_range, because D5:D16 contains both the values we want to test and the values we want to sum....
where “time” (D5:D15), “date” (B5:B15), and “project” (C5:C15) are named ranges. The second criteria limits dates to one week from the original date: The last criteria, restricts data by project, by using the project identifier in row 4: When this formula is copied across the range G5:H7, the SUMIFS function returns a sum of time by week and project. Notice all three criteria use mixed references to lock rows and columns as needed to allow copying....
One solution is to supply multiple criteria in an array constant like this: This will cause SUMIFS to return two results: a count for “complete” and a count for “pending”, in an array result like this: To get a final total, we wrap SUMIFS inside SUM. The SUM function sums all items in the array and returns the result. With wildcards You can use wildcards in the criteria if needed....
The formula returns the volume of a cone with the radius given in column B and the height given in column C. Units are indicated generically with “u”, and the resulting volume is units cubed (u3). The formula for calculating the volume of a cone is based on the formula for calculating the volume of a pyramid. Since the base of a cone is a circular, the formula for area of a circle is included....
In later versions of Excel, starting with Excel 2013, the best option for creating a new chart is usually the Recommended Charts button on the Insert tab of the ribbon. Just select some data then go to Insert > Recommended Charts. Excel will open the Insert Chart window and list recommended charts, each with a preview. Excel’s recommended charts are meant to fit the data. They’re based on professionally designed templates, and generally they look pretty good....
Were B5 contains a current date, and the range E5:E14 contains dates that are holidays. Note: NETWORKDAYS includes both the start and end dates in the calculation if they are workdays. In this case, the start date is Jan 10, 2018, provided as cell B5. The end date is calculated using the EOMONTH function with an offset of zero, which returns the last day of the month of the date given....
The solution is to use the INFO function to test the current environment, then adjust the line break character accordingly. We do this by adding this formula to C3: Then we we name C3 “break” so we can use the word break like a variable later. If Excel is running on a Mac, break will equal CHAR(13), if not, break will equal CHAR(10). In column E, we concatenate the address information that appears in B, C, and D with a formula like this: The result of the concatenation is text with line breaks: Traci Brown¬ 1301 Robinson Court¬ Saginaw, MI 48607 Note: make sure you have text wrap enabled on cells that contain line breaks....
In this case, we are asking for more than one value by passing an array constant {1,2,3} into LARGE as the second argument. This causes LARGE to return an array result that includes the highest 3 values. In cell I6: returns an array like this: This array is returned directly to the AVERAGE function: The AVERAGE function then returns the average of these values. Note: the AVERAGE function can handle arrays natively, so it is not necessary to enter this formula with control + shift + enter....
The XLOOKUP function is a more flexible replacement for VLOOKUP, and it’s just as easy to use. In this worksheet, we have population data for some of the largest cities in the world. Let’s configure the XLOOKLUP function to retrieve the country and population for a given city by matching on the name. To start off, put the cursor in G5, enter an equals sign (=) and type “xl”. This is enough to match XLOOKUP....
This formula returns total wins for the “Red” team based on the data shown, and uses these named ranges: team1 (B5:B14), team2 (C5:C14), score1 (D5:D14), and score2 (E5:E14). In solving this problem, you might think of using the COUNTIF or COUNTIFS function, but these functions are limited to working with existing ranges for criteria. Instead, the formula in the example uses the SUMPRODUCT function to sum the result of an array expression based on Boolean logic....
where “data” is the named range B5:B14, “target” is the named range F4, and “tolerance” is the named range F5. Because the named range “data” contains 10 values, subtracting the target value in F4 will created an array with 10 results: The ABS function changes any negative values to positive: This array is compared to the fixed tolerance in F5: The result is an array or TRUE FALSE values, and the double negative changes these to ones and zeros....
To allow only values that do not exist in a list, you can use data validation with a custom formula based on the COUNTIF function. In the example shown, the data validation applied to B5:B9 is: where “list” is the named range D5:D7. In this case, the COUNTIF function is part of an expression that returns TRUE when a value does not exist in a defined list. The COUNTIF function simply counts occurrences of the value in the list....
Note: OFFSET is a volatile function, which means it recalculates with every change to a worksheet. With a modern machine and smaller data set, this should’t cause a problem but you may see slower performance on large data sets. In that case, consider building a dynamic named range with the INDEX function instead. In the example shown, the formula used for the dynamic range is: The first argument in OFFSET represents the first cell in the data (the origin), which in this case is cell B5....
Common functions that perform aggregate operations include, MAX, MIN, COUNT, COUNTA, AVERAGE, AND, OR, and SUM. In many cases, an aggregate value is the desired result. However, because Excel can handle arrays and array operations, there are situations where a single value is not desired. Author Dave Bruns Hi - I’m Dave Bruns, and I run Exceljet with my wife, Lisa. Our goal is to help you work faster in Excel....
Conditions are provided to the IFS function as test/value pairs, and IFS can handle up to 127 conditions. Each test represents a logical test that returns TRUE or FALSE, and the value that follows will be returned when the test returns TRUE. In the event that more than one condition returns TRUE, the value corresponding to the first TRUE result is returned. For this reason, it is important to consider the order in which conditions appear....
The MODE function takes multiple arguments in the form number1, number2, number3, etc. Arguments can be a hardcoded constant, a cell reference, or a range, in any combination. MODE ignores empty cells, text values, and the logical values TRUE and FALSE. The MODE function will accept up to 255 separate arguments. Examples MODE returns the most frequently occurring number in supplied data. For example, If there are no duplicate numbers, the MODE function returns the #N/A error: In the example shown, the formula in L5, copied down, is: Note: the MODE function is now classified as a “compatibility function”....
There are two types of permutations: The PERMUT function calculates permutations where repetitions are not allowed. To calculate permutations where repetitions are allowed, use the PERMUTATIONA function. Example To use PERMUT, specify the total number of items and “number_chosen”, which represents the number of items in each combination. For example, to calculate 3-number permutations for the numbers 0-9, there are 10 numbers and 3 chosen, so the formula is: This result can be seen in cell D8 in the example shown....
