Hello Everyone,
My querie is the following:
I have three Columns of random numbers which will always range from 1 to 31. An additional row of random numbers (within the given range) will be added to these three columns routinely.
Is it possible for excel to do two things:
1) Give me a list of the most uncommon numbers in a single column.
2) Give me a list of any numbers between 1 and 31 that aren't present in that same column.
I hope my explanation is clear enough.
Cheers
Tom
Attach a sample workbook. Make sure there is just enough data to demonstrate your need. Include a BEFORE sheet and an AFTER sheet in the workbook if needed to show the process you're trying to complete or automate. Make sure your desired results are shown, mock them up manually if necessary.
Remember to desensitize the data.
Click on GO ADVANCED and then scroll down to Manage Attachments to open the upload window.
let Source = #table({"Question","Thread", "User"},{{"Answered","Mark Solved", "Add Reputation"}}) in Source
If I give you Power Query (Get & Transform Data) code, and you don't know what to do with it, then CLICK HERE
Walking the tightrope between genius and eejit...
The three columns are to be treated separately?? So you want 3 sets of uncommon numbers and 3 sets of missing numbers???

If so... here is one way, using 1 helper column per column of raw data to return the least common present numbers.
Helper (E2):
=IF(A2="","",SUM(IF(A2=A$2:A$30,1,0)))
Least common, but present (I2 - array formula):
=IFERROR(INDEX(A:A,SMALL(IF(E$2:E$30=MIN(E$2:E$30),ROW(E$2:E$30)),ROWS(I$2:I2))),"")
Missing from column(M2 - array formula):
=IFERROR(SMALL(IF(COUNTIF(A$1:A$30,ROW($1:$31))=0,ROW($1:$31),""),ROW(A1)),"")
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...
Hi Everyone,
Thank you for your feedback and help on this. I will take a look at the attached file and try to understand it asap as im in work.
Further more i will try and create a dummy spreadsheet to show what im trying to achieve.
Cheers
Tom
