I keep receiving an error message that my IF statement has too many arguments. I have used this formula in other excel workbooks and it has worked. Can anyone see what the problem is? Thank you for your help!
=IF(OR(AD2="22",AD2="23",AD2="39",AD2="540",AD2="541",AD2="836"),"1",IF(OR(AD2="335",AD2="312",AD2="364",AD2="367",AD2="311",AD2="336",AD2="365",AD2="319",AD2="368",AD2="488",AD2="498",AD2="461",AD2="501",AD2="505",AD2="531",AD2="462",AD2="489",AD2="491",AD2="491",AD2="493",AD2="507",AD2="457",AD2="460",AD2="499",AD2="503",AD2="509",AD2="513",AD2="539",AD2="612",AD2="613",AD2="568",AD2="821",AD2="827",AD2="829",AD2="835",AD2="845",AD2="846",AD2="615",AD2="620",AD2="614",AD2="691",AD2="719",AD2="873",AD2="877",AD2="32",AD2="427",AD2="373",AD2="465",AD2="502",AD2="511",AD2="466",AD2="475",AD2="481",AD2="500",AD2="504",AD2="462",AD2="489",AD2="491",AD2="493",AD2="507",AD2="503",AD2="513",AD2="539",AD2="607",AD2="610",AD2="608",AD2="609",AD2="611",AD2="579",AD2="769",AD2="795",AD2="827",AD2="831",AD2="834",AD2="837",AD2="838",AD2="839",AD2="840",AD2="841",AD2="842",AD2="843",AD2="851",AD2="852",AD2="853",AD2="854",AD2="856",AD2="857",AD2="860",AD2="861",AD2="868",AD2="869",AD2="870",AD2="871"),"2",IF(OR(AD2="521",AD2="524",AD2="535",AD2="536",AD2="557",AD2="558",AD2="805"),"3","4")))
It seems that the error probably has to do with the limits of version you are using.
Since the formula contains fixed equivalences, I suggest to create a Define Name range then Vlookup cell AD2 to the table in order to obtain the related value:
=IFERROR(VLOOKUP(AD2,_Table,2,0),"4")
This formula should work fine in Excel 2007 and later (I just tested it in 2010 with no issues). The maximum number of arguments allowed in a function in these versions is 255. For earlier versions of Excel though, the max is 30. Since you did not specify which version of Excel you are using, I cannot be 100% sure if this is the problem though but I suspect this is what is going on. I recommend you upgrade to a more current version of the software, but if that's not an option you could always break out the function among multiple cells (In particular, it's the 2nd nested if statement, with ~90 parameters that is causing this...).

I'm making a time-spending tracker based on the work I do every hour of the day.
Now, suppose I have 28 types of work listed in my tracker (which I also have to increase from time to time), and I have about 8 significance values that I have decided to relate to these 28 types of work, predefined.
I want that, as soon as I enter a type of work in cell 1 - I want the adjacent cell 2 to get automatically populated with a significance value (from a range of 8 values) that is pre-definitely set by me.
Every time I input a new or old occurrence of a type of work, the adjacent cell should automatically get matched with its relevant significance value & automatically get populated in real-time.
I know how to do it using IF, IFS, and IF_OR conditions, but I feel that based on the ever-expanding types of work & significance values, the above formulas will be very big, complicated, and repetitive in the future. I feel there's a more efficient way to achieve it. Also, I don't want it to be selected from a drop-down list.
Guys, please help me out with the most efficient way to handle this. TUIA :)
Also, I've added a snapshot and a sample sheet describing the problem.
Sample sheet
XLOOKUP() may work. Try-
=XLOOKUP(D2,A2:A,B2:B)
Or FILTER() function like-
=FILTER(B2:B,A2:A=D2)
You can use this formula for a whole column:
=INDEX(IFERROR(VLOOKUP(C14:C,A2:B9,2,0)))
Adapt the ranges to your actual tables in order to include in the second argument all the potential values and their significances
This is the formula, that worked for me (for anybody's reference):
I created another reference sheet, stating the types of work & their significance. From that sheet, I'm using either vlookup, filter, xlookup.Using gforms for inputting my data.
=ARRAYFORMULA(IFS(ROW(D:D)=1,"Significance",A:A="","",TRUE,VLOOKUP(D:D,Reference!$A:$B,2,0)))
I've set up a Google Sheets workbook that synthesizes data from a few different sources via manual input, IMPORTHTML and IMPORTRANGE. Once the data is populated, I'm using INDEX MATCH to filter and compare the information and to RANK each data set.
Since I have multiple data inputs, I'm running into a persistent issue of names not being written exactly the same between sources, even though they're the same person. First names are the primary culprit (i.e. Mary Lou vs Marylou vs Mary-Lou vs Mary Louise) but some last names with special symbols (umlauts, accents, tildes) are also causing errors. When Sheets can't recognize a match, the INDEX MATCH and RANK functions both break down.
I'm wondering how to better unify the data automatically so my Sheet understands that each occurrence is actually the same person (or "value").
Since you can't edit the results of an IMPORTHTML directly, I've set up "helper columns" and used functions like TRIM and SPLIT to try and fix instances as I go, but it seems like there must be a simpler path.
It feels like IFS could work but I can't figure how to integrate it. Also thinking this may require a script, which I'm just beginning to study.
Here's a simplified example of what I'm trying to achieve and the corresponding errors: Sample Spreadsheet
The first tab is attempting to pull and RANK data from tabs 2 and 3. Sample formulas from the Summary tab, row 3 (Amelia Rose):
Cell B3: =INDEX('Q1 Sales'!B:B, MATCH(A3,'Q1 Sales'!A:A,0))
Cell C3: =RANK(B3,$B$2:B,1)
Cell D3: =INDEX('Q2 Sales'!B:B, MATCH(A3,'Q2 Sales'!A:A,0))
Cell E3: =RANK(D3,$D$2:D,1)
I'd be grateful for any insight on how to best index 'Q2Sales'!B3 as the correct value for 'Summary'!D3. Thanks in advance - the thoughtful answers on Stack Overflow have gotten me this far!
to counter every possible scenario do it like this:
=ARRAYFORMULA(IFERROR(VLOOKUP(LOWER(REGEXREPLACE(A2:A, "-|\s", )),
{REGEXEXTRACT(LOWER(REGEXREPLACE('Q2 Sales'!A2:A, "-|\s", )),
TEXTJOIN("|", 1, LOWER(REGEXREPLACE(A2:A, "-|\s", )))), 'Q2 Sales'!B2:B}, 2, 0)))
I am using Hyperparameter using HParams Dashboard in Tensorflow 2.0-beta0 as suggested here https://www.tensorflow.org/tensorboard/r2/hyperparameter_tuning_with_hparams
I am confused in step 1, I could not find any better explanation. My questions are related to following lines:
HP_NUM_UNITS = hp.HParam('num_units', hp.Discrete([16, 32]))
HP_DROPOUT = hp.HParam('dropout', hp.RealInterval(0.1, 0.2))
HP_OPTIMIZER = hp.HParam('optimizer', hp.Discrete(['adam', 'sgd']))
My question:
I want to try more dropout values instead of just two (0.1 and 0.2). If I write more values in it then it throws an error- 'maximum 2 arguments can be given'. I tried to look for documentation but could not find anything like from where these hp.Discrete and hp.RealInterval functions came.
Any help would be appreciated. Thank you!
Good question. They notebook tutorial lacks in many aspects. At any rate, here is how you do it at a certain resolution res
for dropout_rate in tf.linspace(
HP_DROPOUT.domain.min_value,
HP_DROPOUT.domain.max_value,
res,):
By looking at the implementation to me it really doesn't seem to be GridSearch but MonteCarlo/Random search (note: this is not 100% correct, please see my edit below)
So on every iteration a random float of that real interval is chosen
If you want GridSearch behavior just use "Discrete". That way you can even mix and match GridSearch with Random search, pretty cool!
Edit: 27th of July '22: (based on the comment of #dpoiesz)
Just to make it a little more clear, as it is sampled from the intervals, concrete values are returned. Therefore, those are added to the grid dimension and grid search is performed using those
RealInterval is a min, max tuple in which the hparam will pick a number up.
Here a link to the implementation for better understanding.
The thing is that as it is currently implemented it does not seems to have any difference in between the two except if you call the sample_uniform method.
Note that tf.linspace breaks the mentioned sample code when saving current value.
See https://github.com/tensorflow/tensorboard/issues/2348
In particular OscarVanL's comment about his quick&dirty workaround.
I'm trying to save output from several hundred eststo's storing results of bivariate probability models into one excel file using esttab. It works for xtlogit(both ,re and ,pa), xtprobit (both ,re and ,pa) and for the linear probability model xtreg (both standard and ,fe. However, when I use xtreg y x i.year, fe I get the error message too many base levels specified. Google doesn't help me much.
I've been trying for an hour to create a reproducible example but the stata datasets all work fine. It does not seem to be due to the number of years or the fact that different specifications have data for different years. Still, the normal xtreg, fe' works, the problem only appears with time dummies. The weirdest thing is that it works for all subsets of my variables but not for the whole list (again just the time fixed effects specifications).
Does anyone have an idea how to proceed? Using drop(*.year) works whenever the problem does not arise (so in specifications where it works, I get outputs without the year dummies) but does not prevent the too many base levels specified error; ,nobaselevels has no apparent effect as well. Is there a way to remove the time fixed effects from eststo before I pass those on to esttab? Any workaround would be appreciated as well.
The problem you might be facing is that of Stata creating different base levels for the factor variable year, in different regressions.
Try fixing the factor variable base level beforehand with fvset:
fvset base <some_number> year
Check help fvset and the manual entry for details. Also, read the source given below, which contains more information.

We’re using JCo 3.0 to connect to RFCs and read data from SAP R/3. We use one RFC RFC_READ_TABLE often and use a second custom RFC to read employee information. My questions revolve around a third RFC RSAQ_REMOTE_QUERY_CALL. I'm calling an ad-hoc query I built in SAP using this RFC but I’m not getting the expected results. The main problem is that it appears that SAP is ignoring one of my selection criteria and using what was saved in SAP when I originally built it. The date criterion stored in my ad-hoc is 6/23/2013. If I pass in 6/28/2013 from JCo, I get the same results as if I had passed 6/23/2013 from JCo.
We have built several ad-hoc queries whose only criteria is a personnel number and call them successfully using RFC RSAQ_REMOTE_QUERY_CALL.
Background on my ad-hoc query: reporting period of today, joining together four aspects of an employee’s information: their latest action (hire, rehire, etc.), organization (e.g. company), pay (e.g. pay scale level) and communication (e.g. email). The query will run every workday.
Here are my questions:
My ad-hoc has three selection criteria. The first two are simple strings. The third is a date. The date will vary each time the query runs. We are referencing the first criteria using SP$00001, the second with SP$00002 and the third with SP$00003. The order of the criteria changes from the ad-hoc to SQ01 (what was SP$00001 in the ad-hoc is now SP$00003). Shouldn’t we reference them in the order defined in the ad-hoc (e.g. SP$00001)?
The two simple string selections are using OPTION “EQ”. The date criteria is using OPTION GT (greater than). Is “GT” correct?
We have some limited accessibility to SAP. Is there a way to see which SP$ parameters are mapped to which criteria?
If my ad-hoc was saved with five criteria but four of them never change when I call the ad-hoc from JCo, do I just need to set the value of the one or do I need to set the other four as well?
Do I have to call this ad-hoc using a variant (function.getImportParameterList().setValue(“VARIANT”, “VARIANT_NAME”))?
Does the Reporting Period have an impact on the date criteria? I have tried changing the Reporting Period to be PNPBEGDA = today and PNPENDDA = today and noticed no change.
Is there a way in SAP to get a “declaration” of your ad-hoc (name, inputs, outputs, criteria)? I have looked at JCoFunction.toXml() and JCoFunctionTemplate. These are good if you want to see something at runtime before it goes to SAP, but I’m looking for something I can use on the JCo end to help me write Java code that matches the ad-hoc.
I have looked at length on the web for answers to my questions and have not found anything that is useful. If there is anything which would help me, please let me know.
Thanks,
LM
Since I don't know much about SQnn, I won't be able to answer all of your questions...
I don't know, sorry.
It should be, at least it's the usual operator for greater than.
Yes - set an external breakpoint right inside the function module and trace its execution while performing the RFC call. Warning: At least basic ABAP knowledge required.
I don't know, sorry.
I don't know either, sorry.
That would depend on the query, I suspect...
JCo won't be able to help you out there - it doesn't know about queries, it only knows function modules. There might be other RSAQ_* function modules to get that information though.
I played with setting up a variant in SQ01 for my query. I added some settings in the variant that solved my problem and answered several of my questions in my post. The main thing I did was add a dynamically calculated date as part of my criteria. Here's how:
1. In SQ01, access menu "Go To" -> "Maintain Variants".
2. Choose your variant and in subobjects, choose "Attributes" and click "Change".
3. In the displayed list, find your date criterion.
4. Choose "D" in Selection Variable, choose a comparison option (mine was GT for greater than), and a "Name of a Variable" (really, this is the type of dynamic date calculation you need).
5. Go back to the Subobjects panel, choose "Values" and click "Change".
6. Enter any other criteria you need in the "Program selections" section.
7. Save the variant.
By doing this, I don't need to pass anything into the query from JCo. Also, SAP will automatically update the date criteria you entered in step #4 above.
So to to answer my questions from my original post:
1 and 4. It doesn't matter because I'm no longer passing anything in from JCo.
2. "GT" is Greater Than.
3 and 7. If anyone knows, I'd really like to find out.
5. Use the name you as it is in SAP (step #2 above).
6. I still don't know, but it's not holding me up.
I'm posting this in case anyone out there needs this type of information. Thanks to Esti and vwegert for helping me out.
