I am a lecturer and am trying to build a mini grading spreadsheet that based on the points given to a student will calculate a percentage value describing their grade and I now want to assign the appropriate grade to a student's column in Sheet1 so that it reads
50%
C-
I have created a matrix of the range identifiers and the text value of the grade on Sheet2 which looks like this:
A B C
1 A++ 95 100
2 A+ 90 94.5
3 A 85 89.5
4 A- 80 84.5
5 B+ 75 79.5
6 B 70 74.5
7 B- 65 69.5
8 C+ 60 64.5
9 C 55 59.5
10 C- 50 54.5
11 D 0 49.5
Column A holds the string describing the grade,
Column B is the start of the range,
Column C is the end of the range for a given grade.
On Sheet1 I run through all the basic calculations which returns me with a single percentage value to match against this matrix, let's call the field of this value Sheet1!A1 for now.
What I in essence want to do is loop through the rows 1-11 of Sheet2 and do this:
IF ( Sheet1!A1 >= Sheet2!B1 AND Sheet1!A1 <= Sheet2!C1 ) THEN RETURN Sheet2!A1
Can this be done? I've read through all the supporting documentation and have not been able to find a way to do this yet.
Any help would be much appreciated.
Many thanks for reading,
Jannis
Anand Varma just replied to the same question posted on the Google Forums with the solution so for completeness I will post his answer here as well.
The original answer on the Google Forums is here.
The solution was using the INDEX function with the MATCH function inside of it:
=INDEX( Sheet2!$A$1:Sheet2!$A$11, MATCH( C41, Sheet2!$C$1:Sheet2!$C$11, -1 ) )
C41 refers to the cell that holds the numerical source value to match against.
Thanks Anand.

Good morning,
I have an issue with extracting the correct handicap value within the following table:
K L M
Handicap York Hereford
0 1287 1280
1 1285 1275
2 1280 1271
3 1275 1268
4 1270 1265
5 1268 1260
6 1265 1258
7 1260 1254
8 1255 1250
9 1253 1246
I also have these 2 lines of sample score/round data:
G H I
Round Score Handicap
York 1269 5
York 1270 4
Hereford 1269 XXX
Hereford 1270 XXX
If for instance someone on a York, gets a score of 1269, they should get a handicap of 5, which this formula achieves:
INDEX($K$7:$K$16,MATCH($H7,$L$7:$L$16,-1))+1
However this formula only works on the one column $L$7:$L$16
Similarly, the 2ns score is calculated with the following formula:
=INDEX($K$8:$K$17,MATCH($H8,$L$8:$L$17,-1))
What I'd like to do is, build that out so if I changed the round to a Hereford, with the exact same score, the cell would automatically calculate that the handicap should be 3.
Is this possible, maybe with an array?
Regards,
Andrew.
With ms365, try:
Formula in I2:
=XLOOKUP(H2,FILTER(L$2:M$11,L$1:M$1=G2),K$2:K$11,"NB",-1,-1)
I would avoid using OFFSET because it is a volatile function.
To select the appropriate column, you can use another MATCH:
MATCH($G7,$L$6:$M$6,0)
will return the column number. This makes it simple if you more than just York and Hereford columns.
Then, to return the matching line:
=MATCH($H7,INDEX($L$7:$M$16,0,MATCH($G7,$L$6:$M$6,0)),-1)
Note the use of 0 for the Row argument in the INDEX function which will return the entire column (all the rows).
Since your handicaps are sequential, as written this formula returns the same values as does yours. But I don't think it is correct since both formulas return 1 for a 1287 York.
You probably need to subtract one from the result of the formula.
=MATCH($H7,INDEX($L$7:$M$16,0,MATCH($G7,$L$6:$M$6,0)),-1)-1
Reference your lookup range with an OFFSET() function, and for the third parameter (which is column offset), use a MATCH() on the headers.
The formula on your first row would be:
=INDEX($K$7:$K$16,MATCH(H7,OFFSET($L$7:$M$16,0,MATCH(G7,$L$6:$M$6,0)-1,ROWS($L$7:$M$16),1),-1))+1
I have values in a certain column as follows.
Rank Score
A 10
B 24
C 35
D 88
E 192
.
.
.
And so on. There are far too many entries to do an IFS statement and the numbers have an arbitrary difference between levels (A to Z). If I have a number, say 85, as per the info above, it should be rank C (between 35 and 88).
I want to check which rank it falls under. I need a single formula so I can apply it across another sheet with multiple scores that need to be ranked.
use floating VLOOKUP:
=VLOOKUP(D2, {B:B, A:A}, 2, 1)
for arrayformula do:
=ARRAYFORMULA(IFNA(VLOOKUP(D2:D, {B:B, A:A}, 2, 1)))

and some more explanation
Basically i want the sum of "Column 6" for the given criteria but the data in Column 6 can only be entered after some delay w.r.t. Column 1, Column 2, Column 3 & Column 4.
Till Column 6 data is entered, i want excel to use the number available in Column 5 which is also entered after some delay w.r.t. Column 1, Column 2, Column 3 & Column 4 but before Column 6.
And till Column 5 data is entered, i want excel to use the number available in Column 4.
Now I am familiar with two SUM/IF arrangements as included below in post.
First one is array sum/if arrangement which is convenient to write but results in terribly long calculation time with 1.5 seconds for just one column and I have over 100 columns in one sheet and about 9 sheets.
Second one is using SUMIFS which requires extensive time to write but relatively better calculation time of 0.5 seconds for column but is still quite high.
Now I need to do away with the array arrangement but doing so will take quite some time and I want to know if there is any better/other arrangement.
Just let me know other arrangement which can get the required result and I will check the arrangement for calculation timing. If the other arrangement is also convenient to write than that is a plus.
This is my table:
And I want to add the right most columns which are not empty i.e. have a number in it, but with the criteria for the first three columns in cell D15.
I only found option to add image. Please let me know how to upload excel file.
enter image description here
Can somebody please suggest an alternate to this array formula so it can calculate way faster
{=SUM(
IF(
($B$2:$B$10=$C15)*
($C$2:$C$10=$C$13)*
($D$2:$D$10=D$14)>0,
IF(
$G$2:$G$10<>"",
$G$2:$G$10,
IF(
$F$2:$F$10<>"",
$F$2:$F$10,
$E$2:$E$10))))}
I have tried below which reduces the calculation time to 1/3 but it is too much typing for the large data I am dealing with
=SUMIFS(
$G$2:$G$10,
$B$2:$B$10,$C15,
$C$2:$C$10,$C$13,
$D$2:$D$10,H$14,
$G$2:$G$10,"<>"&"")
+SUMIFS(
$F$2:$F$10,
$B$2:$B$10,$C15,
$C$2:$C$10,$C$13,
$D$2:$D$10,H$14,
$G$2:$G$10,"="&"",
$F$2:$F$10,"<>"&"")
+SUMIFS(
$E$2:$E$10,
$B$2:$B$10,$C15,
$C$2:$C$10,$C$13,
$D$2:$D$10,H$14,
$G$2:$G$10,"="&"",
$F$2:$F$10,"="&"")
If you're OK with using a helper column (which you should be), you can use this formula in a helper cell and drag down. (In my example at bottom, this formula is in cell H2 and drag down.)
= INDEX(E2:G2,MATCH(-1E+300,E2:G2,-1))
This gets all of the data in either column 4 5 or 6 all into one column.
Then you can use a simpler SUMIFS formula in cell D15:
= SUMIFS($H$2:$H$10, // Sum range (helper column)
$B$2:$B$10,$C15, // Criteria 1 (A or B)
$C$2:$C$10,$C$13, // Criteria 2 (AA or BB)
$D$2:$D$10,D$14) // Criteria 3 (AAA or BBB)
See below, working example:
DISCLAIMER
This answer will simplify your formulas, but I'm not sure if this will help with the performance problems you are experiencing. SUMIFS in itself I don't see being likely the cause of long calculation times. Probably you are experiencing long calculation times because other parts of your spreadsheet are using inefficient formulas and/or formulas involving volatile cells, but that is just a guess because I have no idea what the rest of your spreadsheet looks like.
I am new to array formulae and have noticed that while SUBTOTAL includes many functions, it does not feature COUNTIF (only COUNT and COUNTA).
I'm trying to figure out how I can integrate a COUNTIF-like feature to my array formula.
I have a matrix, a small subset of which looks like:
A B C D E
48 53 46 64 66
48 66 89
40 38 42 49 44
37 33 35 39 41
Thanks to the help of #Tom Shape in this post, I (he) was able to average the sum of each row in the matrix provided it had complete data (so rows 2 and 4 in the example above would not be included).
Now I would like to count the number of rows with complete data (so rows 2 and 4 would be ignored) which include at least one value above a given threshold (say 45).
In the current example, the result would be 2, since row 1 has 5/5 values > 45, and row 3 has 1 value > 45. Row 5 has values < 45 and rows 2 and 3 have partially or fully missing data, respectively.
I have recently discovered the SUMPRODUCT function and think that perhaps SUMPRODUCT(--(A1:E1 >= 45 could be useful but I'm not sure how to integrate it within Tom Sharpe's elegant code, e.g.,
=AVERAGE(IF(SUBTOTAL(2,OFFSET(A1,ROW(A1:A5)-ROW(A1),0,1,COLUMNS(A1:E1)))=COLUMNS(A1:E1),SUBTOTAL(9,OFFSET(A1,ROW(A1:A5)-ROW(A1),0,1,COLUMNS(A1:E1))),""))
Remember, I am no longer looking for the average: I want to filter rows for whether they have full data, and if they do, I want to count rows with at least 1 entry > 45.
Try the following. Enter as array formula.
=COUNT(IF(SUBTOTAL(4,OFFSET(A1,ROW(A1:A5)-ROW(A1),0,1,COLUMNS(A1:E1)))>45,IF(SUBTOTAL(2,OFFSET(A1,ROW(A1:A5)-ROW(A1),0,1,COLUMNS(A1:E1)))=COLUMNS(A1:E1),SUBTOTAL(9,OFFSET(A1,ROW(A1:A5)-ROW(A1),0,1,COLUMNS(A1:E1))))))
Data
I am having difficulties with making an array formula work the way I want it to work.
Out of a column of dates which is not sorted, I want it to extract values into a new column. The formula below identifies the required cells of a given month and year, but they appear in their original row rather than on top of the output range. Moreover, I want all ""/FALSE cells to be excluded from the output array.
=IF((MONTH($I$15:$I$1346)=1)*(YEAR($I$15:$I$1346)=2008),$I$15:$I$1346,"")
In fact, the $I$15:$I$1346 should be dynamic and go to the last filled range (I could make a named range for that)
Part two is to expand on that formula so that it calculates the data that is an two column offset of the data described above.
Is the above possible to build into one cell probably with a combination of IF, INDEX, SMALL and maybe others?
I'm not looking for a filter solution. Hope the above is clear enough and that you can help!
Here's a shortened sample layout:
A B C
1 Date Series_A Series_B
2 03/01/2011 45 20
3 04/01/2011 73 30
4 06/01/2011 95 40
5 08/01/2011 72 50
6 06/02/2011 5 13
7 09/02/2011 12 #N/A
8 05/02/2011 23 65
9 07/03/2011 12 65
Then I want three input cells for the year and and the month and series name (index/match, as there are many more columns with data). If it would be 2011, Feb and Series_A, I want it to calculate the average for that month. In this case it would be (5+12+23)/3. If it would be Feb-2011 and Series_B instead, which has an error, it should show (13+65)/2 rather than an error.
Aside from that I want a separate which will output an array with the data instead without 'holes' in between and with the right 'length'. Example for Feb-2011 in Column C:
A B C D
1 Date Series_A Desired Output Output based on f above
2 03/01/2011 45 5
3 04/01/2011 73 12
4 06/01/2011 95 23
5 08/01/2011 72
6 06/02/2011 5 5
7 09/02/2011 12 12
8 05/02/2011 23 23
9 07/03/2011 12
If I then run a =ISBLANK(C5) it should be true, rather than =""=C5
Hope the edit clarifies
I reached out to various platsforms to get an answer, and here you have one which is ok. Still doesn't fully answer part 1, but works nonetheless.
