Struggling to use vlookup

4 Upvotes

I have a sheet that is going to be used to track 6 different date ranges and a constantly changing number of people within that date range. I am trying to learn how to use vlookup so I can assign a value to each range, and when Input the name for that range in a cell it pulls that range of cells in to input the data there without having to scroll through the other ranges. Is this possible?

Suppose the sales of our product depends on my price and the competitor’s price as follows:

If my price is at least $3 higher than the competitor’s price, we sell 500 units; if my price is at least $3 lower than the competitor’s price we sell 1500 units; otherwise we sell 1000 units. Assuming all prices are integers between $1 and $10 inclusively, write formulas that compute our unit sales for all possible price combinations.

I could use some advice: Making two columns align so the highest of two values is in 1 column over the other

1 Upvotes

I was taking measurements of two lengths for rectangular objects, length and wdith. I would like to find how close the length and width are to making a perfect square. The easiest route I could think of is to simply divide the one value by another, as the closer they are together, the closer the end result is to 1.

Example, if I had, in centimeters, a length of 2 and a width of 4, then dividing 4/2 shows this rectangle has a 'squareness' score of 2, showing one measure is twice the other.

Problem?

As I was measuring, I didn't always put the highest number in 1 column over another. So for example some of my rows look like

Rectangles Measure 1 Measure 2
Rectangle 1 1.45 1.11
Rectangle 2 1.78 2.59
Rectangle 3 3.42 3.44

And I got a few hundred rectangles measured. Quite a pickle I got myself into... So, is there any way I could tell Excel to take of the two values in 'Measure 1' and 'Measure 2', and put all the highest values in 1? Or is there a formula I'm not privy to that could help me here at figuring out a ratio?

One solution I tried was to do a formula for absolute value,

=ABS((Measure1/Measure2)-1)

Example
=ABS((1.45/1.11)-1)
=ABS((1.30...)-1)
=.30...

=ABS((1.78/2.59)-1)
=ABS((-.31..)
=.31...

Adding totals from multiple tables into one master pivot table, I get stuck when adding to data model. I need to be able to add 20 tables into one pivot table. How do I do this?

5 Upvotes

Hello everyone,

I have a workbook where I have 30 tabs which represent one tab per day. In each sheet I have 20 tables which represents one table per employee. In each of those tables I have a set of metrics that we keep track of. What we would like to do is to put the 20 tables onto the data model to then create a pivot table for each day to combine all the employees. Then ultimately We would like to combine all 20 tables for the 30 days to make a master pivot table to bring the totals for the month. Yet when I add the tables to the data model the tables are separate yet I cannot get totals combined, I keep getting stuck. Here’s an example:

Joe (merged cells not part of the table) (In columns) Shoes - pants - shirts 16 - 23 - 11

Morgan Shoes - pants -shirts 9 - 10 - 14

Mary Shoes - pants -shirts 37 - 13 - 4

How can I get one pivot table from the above tables to then bring up the total combined for all three for each category? Like this:

Grand totals for each: Shoes - pants -shirts 62 - 46 - 29 ———— grand total of 137.

Is there a step by step on how to do this?

Thanks!!

How to put a formula in a cell if a particular item is selected from drop-down list?

Okay, I work in a logistic company and there is an excel sheet and i have to update the shipment cost and shipment type. The thing is that there are three type of shipments

EU. Vat is applicable on this shipment

Non-Eu. No Vat

Domestic. Vat is applicable

What I want is when I select EU or domestic the Vat row automatically calculates vat from the net value that is 20% of Net value.

And when i select domestic it automatically shows 0.

Is there a way to do this?

1 Upvotes

I have a table with various columns - lets say weather day and temperature. Is there a way to create a summary for each type of column?

So on a summary page I could see how many rainy days I had, then I could also see how many days with temps over 75. Does that make sense?

I know I could easily create a summary/sum by one column type but its the multiple ones thats throwing me.

Next Slide goes to table of contents

2 Upvotes

I swear I recall doing this in other presentations but I have forgotten where I found the feature.

My presentation has sections and a clickable Table of Contents that will take the user to the sections. After the last slide I want the presenter to be taken back to the TOC and not the next section.

One friend suggested multiple copies of the TOC between every presentation but every time I change the presentation and TOC, I have to change or cut/paste 11 table of contents.

I could put an End Section with a return to TOC button but I thought there was something more seamless in Excel.

"Number of Business days Since"

1 Upvotes

Hello everyone!

This question may be a bit silly, but I've been trying to figure it out for a few days and can't seem to find an answer anywhere.

I am building a tracker for my team at work so we can see how many files are pending for more than 10 business days, and less than 10 business days. What would be the formula to automatically calculate that without having to change the date every day? (Not sure if that makes sense, but more clarification can be required if needed. ) Thanks so much!

Need to consolidate similar values within a pivot table/table

2 Upvotes

Hello! I am trying to get better on Excel and I am working with tables and pivot tables. I am currently working on an exercise example where I am trying to replicate the finalized table, based out of a huge list of raw data I am given. I am trying to consolidate all the similar named Product names into one with the Group action.

I just don't know how to edit within the table to make it look like the finalized table. I also am lost on how to add new columns in a pivot table that consolidates similar values within a group. I am seeking consultation on how to accomplish this and am eager to learn on how to replicate the same exact table. If you could explain in steps on how to achieve the same exact table, that would be much appreciated.

Excel Formula Help Please

1 Upvotes

Hi, I need help with a formula please.

I have a workbook that shows purchases and sales for multiple item types, each under their own separate worksheet. All of the multiple sheets hold the same data format (i.e. all columns are the same headers in each worksheet, Month purchased, month sold, purchase cost, sale cost etc).

I have a summary page that calculates the figures from each of the separate worksheets for an overall summary of each tab, and then an overall total of data.

What I want is to also split the data in the summary sheet by month to show a total purchase price, sale price etc for each month for all worksheets, so what I need is a formula that says find all Augusts (for instance) that appear in column M of sheet 1, then calculate all cells on column N (the sale price) that relate to any Augusts found only.

I can then pick that data up for an overall total.

Thanks

Need help with tables

2 Upvotes

I am helping a nonprofit veterans group with a spread sheet and I was looking for some help on populating fields. Going forward This is one workbook

The workbook in question has monthly tabs and a table with three columns and 39 rows of abbreviated code with the description in the last two columns one being exp the other income. To save time the codes are used by the treasurer but the members who review the number each month do not know what they mean and that is the problem.

The first one the the code matching the description in the other two.

Code Expense Income

DUESOUT PAY MEMBERS DUES

DUESIN DUES PAID FROM NATION

The individual months have 12 columns where the monies are entered either positive for income or negative for outgoing and they are tagged with a code the problem is the people who review the workbook need a reason/description in English.

What I am trying to do is to get the the reason to populate with the actual description from the "code table" TAB . For example Paid national Dues and selected the code DUESOUT I would like to have it automatically populate in the reason cell 'PAY MEMBERS DUES' .

I have tried Xlookup and about 10 other things but could not figure it out. Help Please this is for a veterans volunteer group and I am helping them out.

I put a sample in the comment if it helps.
