Hi guys,
as per attached file, Im trying to get the Region (in yellow) based on array Index/Match formula, but likely Im doing something wrong.
The Region should reflect the minimum value for each Material nr (column A).
Could you please help?
Many thanks!
Lukas
In K3 copied down:
=INDEX($B$1:$I$1,0,MATCH(J3,$B$3:$I$3,0))

in J3
=MIN(B3:I3)
in K3
=INDEX(B$1:I$1,1,MATCH(J3,B3:I3,0))
and copy down the columns

Ensure you describe your problem clearly, I have little time available to solve these problems and do not appreciate numerous changes to them.
Oh, this was the issue..., sorry about that. When I ask, I usually do it here or Mr.Excel and now I have named the file wrongly...
Thanks for the formula however, thats not exactly Im looking for as it doesnt reflect the minimum value on Material nr. level - I need to catch all values with the same material nr.
The yellow column reflects the correct solution.
iN j3, AN ARRAY FORMULA, COPIED DOWN:
=MIN(IF($A$3:$A$13=A3,$B$3:$I$13))
iN k3, COPIED DOWN:
=INDEX($A$1:$I$1,,SUMPRODUCT(($B$3:$I$13=J3)*COLUMN($B$3:$I$13)))Array Formulae are a little different from ordinary formulae in that they MUST be confirmed in the FIRST CELL ONLY by pressing CTRL+SHIFT+ENTER to activate the array, not just ENTER. After that, the array can be dragged down as normal, to cover the desired range.
You will know the array is active when you see curly brackets { } - or "curly braces" for those of you in the USA, or "flower brackets" for those of you in India - appear around the outside of your formula. If you do not use CTRL+SHIFT+ENTER you will (almost always) get an error message or an incorrect answer. Press F2 on that cell and try again.
Don't type the curly brackets yourself - it won't work...

Ignore the bit about the MIN. Sp-K is correct:
=MIN(B3:I3) is fine.
..so this was "a bit" more complicated than I thought)
Works great, many thanks!!!

Another bad hair day. Ignore my post at #6. You DO need the array formula. My original Post (#5) is correct.
Glenn, your formula is working fine in the example file but not anymore in my original file with slightly different structure, although I have adapted the ranges to my original file.
Does the structure of the sheet/table matters in your formula?
This is the file with the full structure
Enter in W3 and copy down

Perfect, Thank you!!
=INDEX($A$1:$U$1,SUMPRODUCT(($N$3:$U$8391=V3)*COLUMN($N$3:$U$8391)))
an ordinary formula...
Guys, I have now a different issue, I was hoping I will be able to do that, but Im not.. :/
I need to add volumes (columns F-M) to column X (solution in yellow)
could you please help me with this one also?
Lugashz - what have you tried based on what you have learnt so far in this thread? I would expect you to spend a bit more than 16 minutes on it yourself before asking for help again ...
Please tell us what you have tried, but that has failed.
Ali, I see your point.., I was hoping to get it with simple Hlookup, but thats obviously not possible due to other factors. I dont see a use of the formulas in this thread for this particular exercise.
I like to work with Excel, discover new functions, Im able to adapt formulas, which were suggested to me in the past, but Im simply not an Excel expert and not able to make up a formula, which I have not used before. I hope its understandable.
That's how I and many other people here have learned: by TRYING to use bits of other formulae we've been given to come up with new ones. That's how you get better. So, once again, what have you actually tried? Paste your attempted formula here and explain how it isn't quite doing what you want.
I havent tried anything, as I have no clue what should I try.
Believe me, I have learned a lot from this forum, but simply I dont know how to make up a formula, which is at least similar to what I did before.
Array formula in V4:
=MIN(IF($A$4:$A$19=A4,$N$4:$U$19))
Ordinary formula in W4 (tidied up a bit to make it easier to replicate):
=INDEX($N$2:$U$2,SUMPRODUCT(($N$4:$U$19=V4)*(COLUMN($N$4:$U$19)-COLUMN($N$4)+1)))
Ordinary formula in X4:
=INDEX($F$1:$M$19,SUMPRODUCT(($N$4:$U$19=V4)*ROW($N$4:$U$19)),SUMPRODUCT(($N$4:$U$19=V4)*(COLUMN($N$4:$U$19)-COLUMN(N4)+1)))
Thanks Glenn,
I have just managed to solve it through Concatenate/Pivots and Vlookups
Well done!
