I want to find the minimum number with given conditions(is writer and is under probation), the below code works if D contains numbers, but how do I do it if the number is a part of a string, like a fraction for example? Like how do I use this formula if numbers in D look like "1/8", "31/688", "21/33", etc?
=MINIFS(D3:D1007, A3:A1007, "Writer", C3:C1007, "Probation")
I already have another formula that I use that calculates a decimal value given the fraction, If the fraction is in cell D21 then it would look like this:
=left(D21,find("/",D21)-1)/(right(D21,len(D21)-find("/",D21)))
but how do I apply this kind of formula in a minif/maxif?
I have attached a picture to show what I mean, what I'm trying to do is to put a formula in the passed/total column of package stats(probation), and it will get the lowest passed/total value out of the ones with that package name and importance level. as you can see, the entire writer package's pass rate is 5/8 because the lowest pass rate out of the writer package 5/8 is the lowest pass rate out people with package=writers and importance = probation. But at the moment I have to enter the 5/8s manually, I want it to be able to get it automatically using the formula I'm trying to figure out above.
try:
=ARRAYFORMULA(MIN(IF((A3:A="writer")*(C3:C="probation"),
IFERROR(REGEXEXTRACT(D3:D, "\d+")/REGEXEXTRACT(D3:D, "/(\d+)"), D3:D), )))
or to return fraction:
=ARRAYFORMULA(VLOOKUP(MIN(IF((A3:A="writer")*(C3:C="probation"),
IFERROR(REGEXEXTRACT(D3:D, "\d+")/REGEXEXTRACT(D3:D, "/(\d+)"), D3:D), )),
{IF((A3:A="writer")*(C3:C="probation"),
IFERROR(REGEXEXTRACT(D3:D, "\d+")/REGEXEXTRACT(D3:D, "/(\d+)"), D3:D), ), D3:D}, 2, 0))
also make sure fractions are formatted as plain text not date

I want this formula to calculate a date based on input from two other dates. I first wrote it for a single cell and it gives the expected results but when I try to use ARRAYFORMULA it returns the wrong results.
I first use two if statements specifycing what should happen if either one of the inputs is missing. Then the final if statement calculates the date if both are present based on two conditions. This seems to work perfectly if I write the formula for one cell and drag it down.
=IF( (LEN(G19)=0);(U19+456);(IF((LEN(U19)=0) ;(G19);(IF((AND((G19<(U19+456));(G19>(U19+273)) ));(G19);(U19+456))))))
However, when I want to use arrayformula to apply it to the entire column, it always returns the value_if_false if neither cell is empty, regardless of whether the conditions in the if statement are actually met or not. I am specifically talking about the last part of the formula that calculates the date if both input values are present, it always returns the result of U19:U+456 even when the result should be G19:G. Here is how I tried to write the ARRAYFORMULA:
={"Date deadline";ARRAYFORMULA(IF((LEN(G19:G400)=0);(U19:U400+456);(IF((LEN(U19:U400)=0);
(G19:G400);(IF((AND((G19:G400<(U19:U400+456));(G19:G400>(U19:U400+273)) ));(G19:G400);(U19:U400+456)))))))}
I am a complete beginner who only learned to write formulas two weeks ago, so any help or tips would be greatly appreciated!
AND and OR are not compatible with ARRAYFORMULA
Replace them by * or +
Try
={"Date deadline";ARRAYFORMULA(
IF((LEN(G19:G400)=0),(U19:U400+456),
(IF((LEN(U19:U400)=0), (G19:G400),
(IF((((G19:G400<(U19:U400+456))*(G19:G400>(U19:U400+273)) )),(G19:G400),
(U19:U400+456)))
))
)
)}
Keep in mind you cannot use AND, OR operators in an arrayformula, so you must find an alternative method such as multiplying the values together and checking them for 0 or 1 (true*true=1)
I am gathering based on your formula's and work that you want to have the following:
If G19 is blank show U19 + 456
If U19 is blank show G19
If G19 is less than U19 + 456 but greater than U19 + 273 show G19
Otherwise show U19 + 456
I'm not too sure what you want to happen when both columns G and U are empty. Based on your current formula you are returning an empty cell + 456... but with this formula it returns an empty cell rather than Column U + 456
Formula
={"Date deadline";ARRAYFORMULA(TO_DATE(ARRAYFORMULA(IFS((($G19:$G400="")*($U19:$U400=""))>0,"",$G19:$G400="",$U19:$U400+456,$U19:$U400="",$G19:$G400,(($G19:$G400<$U19:$U400+456)*($G19:$G400>$U19:$U400+273))>0,$G19:$G400,TRUE,$U19:$U400+456))))}
I have a confusing mystery...
Simple DIVIDE formula works correctly. However blank rows are not displayed.
I attempted a different method using IF, and now the blank row is correctly displayed.
However this line is only displayed if I include the IF formula (which gives a zero value I don't want).
Formula 1:
Completion % =
DIVIDE(SUM(Courses[Completed]),SUM(Courses[Attended]),BLANK())
Formula 2:
Completion % with IF =
IF(SUM(Courses[Attended])=0,0,DIVIDE(SUM(Courses[Completed]),SUM(Courses[Attended])))
With only the DIVIDE formula:
Including the IF formula:
It appears that Power BI is capable of showing this row without error, but only if I inlude the additional IF formula. I'm guessing it's because there is now a value (0) to display.
However I want to be able show all courses, including those that have no values, without the inaccurate zero value.
I don't understand why the table doesn't include these lines. Can anyone explain/help?
The point is very simple, by default Power BI shows only elements for which there is at least one non-blank measure.
The DIVIDE operator under-the-hood execute the following:
IF(ISBLANK(B), BLANK(), A / B))
You can change its behaviour by defining the optimal parameter in order to show 0 instead of BLANK:
DIVIDE(A, B, 0) will be translated in the following:
IF(ISBLANK(B), 0, A/B))
Proposed solution
Those mentioned avobe might all be possible solutions to your problem, however, my personal suggestion is to simply enable the option "show item with no data" in your visualization.
While DIVIDE(A, B, 0) will return zero when when B is zero or blank, I think a blank A will still return a blank.
One possibility is to simply append +0 (or prepend 0+) to your measure so that it always returns a numeric value.
DIVIDE ( SUM ( Courses[Completed] ), SUM ( Courses[Attended] ) ) + 0
When I import data via IMPORTXML it is collected as follows:
Goiania
Rio Arena
Free Ticket
LINEUP
Alok
David Guetta
Steave aoki
Dupress
Re dupre
SUBSTITUTES
Vinne
Rainbow
Jow Gonzales
Ilambach
I would like to know what the formula would be like to be able to capture only the values that are between "LINEUP" and "SUBSTITUTES". Because this import the values between these two words will change constantly, both in number of filled lines and in the names of the artists, so I need something that can fit in with the changes.
I have tried to calculate the number of characters between the two words, but I was unsuccessful at separating this data. I was just mistaken.
replace A1:A14 with your IMPORTXML formula
=TRANSPOSE(SPLIT(REGEXEXTRACT(TEXTJOIN("♦", 1, A1:A14), "LINEUP(.*)SUBSTITUTE"), "♦"))
I am trying to create an IF statement formula in excel that converts minutes to days and hours depending on the amount. Then rounds the value to 1 or 2 decimal points and adds the descriptive text (days, hours, etc) to the end
I have tried the following which converts and adds text but does not round:
=IF(L15>=1440, CONVERT(L15,"min","day") & CONCATENATE(L15," days"),
IF(L15>=60, CONVERT(L15,"min","hr") & CONCATENATE(L15," hours"),
IF(L15<=59, CONVERT(L15,"min","min") & CONCATENATE(L15," mins"))))
I would adjust your formula as follows and based on you wanting to round the final number
=IF(L15>=1440,ROUND(L15/1440,2)&" days",IF(L15>=60,ROUND(L15/60,2)&" hours",ROUND(L15,2)&" minutes"))
the ,2 in the ROUND function tell excel how many decimal places to calculate to. if format is set to general, trailing 0s will not be displayed. If you only want 1 decimal calculation then change the ,2 to ,1.
I'm am exploring methods of giving scores to different datapoints within a dataset. These points come from a mix of numbers and text string attributes looking for certain characteristics, e.g. if Col. A contains more than X number of "|", then give it a 1. If not, it gets a 0 for that category. I also have some that give the point when the value is >X.
I have been trying to do this with =IF, for example, =IF([sheet] = [Text], "1","0").
I can get it to give me 1 or 0, but I am unable to get a point total with sum.
I have tried changing the formatting of the text to both "number", "plain text", and have left it as automatic, but I can't get it to sum. Thoughts? Is there maybe a better way to do this?
FWIW - I'm trying to score based on about 12 factors.
Best,
Alex
The issue here might be that you're having the cell evaluate to either the string "0" or the string "1" rather than the number 0 or the number 1. That would explain why you're seeing the right things but the math isn't coming out right - the cell contents look like numbers, but they're really text, which the summation would then ignore.
One option would be to drop the quotation marks and write something like this:
=IF(condition, 1, 0)
This has the condition evaluate to 1 if it's true and 0 if it's false.
Alternatively, you could write something like this:
=(condition) * 1
This will take the boolean TRUE or FALSE returned by condition and convert it to either the numeric value 1 (true) or the numeric value 0 (false).
