This is a guest post by Vijay, our in-house VBA Expert.
There are times when we are entering dates into several columns and would like to select a date from a popup calendar instead of manually typing.
Today, lets understand how we can set up a pop-up calendar in Excel so that your users can easily input dates by right clicking on a cell and inserting a date.
Keep in mind:
1. This code is only supported on the 32-Bit versions of Excel.
2. You need to have admin rights to be able to install the ActiveX Control
First, take a look at pop-up calendar
Here is a short demo of how our pop-up calendar behaves.
What we need to do this
1. Design user form that contains our calendar.
2. Create a Data Table
3. Put some VBA code to get this done
Design user form that contains our calendar.
First let’s design the user form, so start up Excel and bring up the Visual Basic editor and add an user form in the project.
We would need the Microsoft Date and Time Picker control for this project, so please ensure that you have the required file available on your system. If it is not available you may download the MSCOMCT2.OCX from this link.
http://activex.microsoft.com/controls/vb6/mscomct2.cab
Installing this file is pretty simple, you need to extract the contents form the CAB file and then copy this into your System32 folder and then register using the REGSVR32 utility.
If you are using Windows 7 or above you would need to copy this file into the SysWOW64 folder and then register.
For Windows 7 and above, please make sure you are running the Command Prompt (Admin) to be able to successfully register the ActiveX control.
Windows 7: Click on Start, All Programs, Accessories, Command Prompt (right click and choose Run as Administrator
Windows 8: Windows Key + X, then choose Command Prompt (Admin)
Okay, let’s get back to designing the user form.
Insert a new Userfrom on the VBA project and then click on Addition Controls on the Tools menu.
Once the Additional controls dialog box is on the screen, locate the above highlighted entry and then select the same by clicking the box on the left. Now click Ok to close this dialog box.
Now place one Monthview control on the userform and one Command button.
Below are the properties that we need to change for the Commandbutton
• Caption = “Close”
• Cancel = True
• Name = cmdClose
Place this command button anywhere you like on the userfrom, we will place the Monthview on top of this to avoid show this to the user.
Since we have specified the Cancel = True for the commandbutton, the click event can be triggered by pressing the Escape key to handle the code that we will write for the Close button.
Now place the Monthview control as show in the picture below
We are done designing the Userform, now we need to write the code to handle the events.
Below is the code
Close Button
Private Sub cmdClose_Click()
Unload Me
End Sub
Userfrom
Private Sub UserForm_Initialize()
'matching the date in the calendar with the date of the active cell
'if there is a date,
If IsDate(ActiveCell.Value) Then
Me.MonthView1.Value = ActiveCell.Value
Else
Me.MonthView1.Value = Now
End If
End Sub
Private Sub MonthView1_DateClick(ByVal DateClicked As Date)
On Error Resume Next
Dim cell As Object
For Each cell In Selection.Cells
cell.Value = DateClicked
Next cell
Unload Me
End Sub
What the above code does?
1. The close button code will simply unload the userform and take it off the screen.
2. The userform initialize event code will check if the current cell on which we are right clicking the mouse contains any date, if there is a date then it will set the date on the calendar as the one on the cell, otherwise it will show today’s date.
3. The dateclick event of the Monthview control occurs when we click on any date, this code is responsible for populating the cell with the date we have selected. If there are multiple cells selected the code will populate all of them with the date selected.
Adding the context menu option
Now comes the interesting part of adding the context menu option, one thing I would like to specify here as the name suggests “Context menu” these options change depending on what and where we are right clicking the mouse. You will see a different context menu when you right click on a cell, table, shape etc. as shown in the example below
Since every object has a different type of context menu associated we need to make site we are adding our option to the right place.
I would recommend reading this article to know more about the types of commandbars available and how to use them. http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/office/aa141001(v=office.10).aspx
Also this link provides a list of available names http://www.mrexcel.com/forum/excel-questions/525939-visual-basic-applications-list-available-commandbars-excel-2010-a.html
We wanted to add the right click context option to a data table which is called as “List Range Popup”.
Create a Data Table
Type the heading in Cells
B2 = ID
C2 = Start Date
D2 = End Date
E2 = Name
Now click on cell B2, and press CTRL + T shortcut from the keyboard. Make sure to select the option My Table has headers and then click Ok.
We would need the add the below code to the Open event of our workbook so that this option is available to us every time we need to work here.
Private Sub Workbook_Open()
On Error Resume Next
Dim NewControl As CommandBarControl
Application.OnKey "+^{C}", "Module1.OpenCalendar"
Application.CommandBars("List Range Popup").Controls("Insert Date").Delete
Set NewControl = Application.CommandBars("List Range Popup").Controls.Add(Before:=1)
With NewControl
.Caption = "Insert Date"
.OnAction = "Module1.OpenCalendar"
.BeginGroup = True
End With
End Sub
We have also assigned a shortcut key of CTRL + SHIFT + C to this, for those who love to work more using the keyboard.
The above code will add the “Insert Date” context menu option to our data table(s) in the active workbook whenever we open this file.
Next is cleanup
We need to make sure that the context menu we have added is also removed when the file is close, the below code will do that for us.
Private Sub Workbook_BeforeClose(Cancel As Boolean)
On Error Resume Next
Application.OnKey "+^{C}"
Application.CommandBars("List Range Popup").Controls("Insert Date").Delete
End Sub
Note: I have seen the project code left over in the VBA project explorer even after we have close this file, and did some research on the same. The common reason for this is having some COM addins installed. Please share if you also run into this issue and if you were able to find any other reasons or ways to eliminate this issue.

=NOT(STDEV(A1:A4))
this also works for large ranges of numerical values (but not for text)
@Arie
Nice formula Arie
Except that it doesn't work for Text values
I'll submit
=COUNTIF(A1:A4,A1)=COUNTA(A1:A4)
which works for Numbers and Text
and answers the two bonus questions as well
This is waaay more elegant than my solution. Nice one :).
I had =NOT(COUNTIF(A1:A4,A1:A4)-COUNTA(A1:A4)), somehow I keep forgetting we can use more than one "=" sign on a given formula :-/
Hi
Works for numbers, text and logical values on a range from A1:An.
=COUNTIF(A1:An,A1)=ROWS(A1:An)
well if you name the range, you could use following:
=IF(SUMPRODUCT(1/COUNTIF('range','range'))=1,1,0)
Hello lockdalf
The IF()-part is not necessary.
=SUMPRODUCT(1/COUNTIF(‘range’,'range’))=1
Not Working for =IF(SUM($C$1:$F$1)=0,"",SUM($C$1:$F$1)) in cell A1 to A4
My solution is a, perhaphs slightly complex, array formula as follows:
{=IFERROR(AVERAGE(IF(ISBLANK(A1:H1),9999,SUBSTITUTE(A1:H1,A1,9999)*1))=9999,FALSE)}
Assuming there is a value (numerical, text, logic etc) in cell A1, this formula will work - and it will 'ignore' any cells that are 'blank' within the range A1:H1 (which can be extended to the required size).
Breaking the formula down, the SUBSTITUTE(A1:H1,A1,9999) replaces all values (be it text / numerical) in the range A1:H1 that MATCH the value of cell A1 with the number 9999 (this should be changed to any number that WON'T APPEAR IN THE RANGE).
These values are then multiplied by 1 (as SUBSTITUTE results in a text answer).
Wrapping this in an IF(ISBLANK(A1:H1),9999,.........) formula takes care of any blank cells, setting them to this default value of 9999 also - this allows you to set the formula up once for a large range and then not have to alter as more data comes in.
An Average is then taken of all these values - if all cells that contain values are the same, the average will come back to 9999.
If all values are numerical but some differ, the average will differ from 9999 and will result in a FALSE answer. If some / all of the values are text and some differ from that in cell A1, the AVERAGE function will result in an Error, but in these instances the Match needs to return FALSE, hence the IFERROR function.
Sure there's a simpler way to do this though!!
`{=IF(AND(COUNTA(RANGE)-SUM(--ISNUMBER(FIND(UPPER(FIRST ELEMENT IN RANGE),UPPER(RANGE))))=0,LEN(FIRST ELEMENT IN RANGE)=MAX(LEN(RANGE))),TRUE,FALSE)}`
so if your data was in Column 1 and began in A1, you'd use
`{=IF(AND(COUNTA($1:$1)-SUM(--ISNUMBER(FIND(UPPER($A$1),UPPER($1:$1))))=0,LEN($A$1)=MAX(LEN($1:$1))),TRUE,FALSE)}`
This will work for strings and things, if you want it to be case sensitive (I don't), just remove the UPPER() part.
What this does:
`COUNTA($1:$1)`
tells you how many entries you're looking at over your range (so we can work with an undetermined size).
`--ISNUMBER()`
ISNUMBER will return TRUE or FALSE depending on if the value inside is a number or not. the -- part converts TRUE/FALSE in to 1 or 0.
`UPPER()` OPTIONAL
converts the value in to upper case. If passed a number it changes it to text format. This is what stops it from being case sensitive.
`FIND($A$1,$1:$1)`
will return a number if A1 is contained in each cell containing an entry in column 1.
`LEN($A$1)=MAX(LEN($1:$1)`
checks that all elements are the same length. This is needed to avoid partial matches (without it, if A1 contained zzz and A2 contained azzza it would flag as true).
REMEMBER this is an array formula, so enter with ctrl+shift+enter.
{=MIN(--(A1=OFFSET(A1,,,COUNTA(A1:A4))))}
Gives 0 if false and 1 if true
=COUNTIF(A:A,A1)/COUNTA(A:A) = 1
This meets both bonus requirements and is dynamic. Keep adding more contents in column A and it will include these automatically.
I like this a one a lot. I would make one small change by inserting a table for my data range. Makes it dynamic without selecting the whole column
=IF(COUNTIF(tableName[colName],A2)/COUNTA(tableName[colName])=1,TRUE,FALSE)
For only Numeric values
=MAX(A:A)=MIN(A:A)
Awesome!
=(A1=B1)*(B1=C1)*(C1=D1)
Case sensitive.
=SUMPRODUCT(0+EXACT(A1:A4,A1))=COUNTA(A1:A4)
Regards
I'd use this
=COUNTIF(range,INDEX(range,MODE(MATCH(range,range,0))))=COUNTA(range)
It takes Hui's formula but ensures that the test value for the countif is the value or string that is most common in the range. Just in case you get a false but the problem is just with your test value being the odd one out.
=SE(E(A1=A2;A1=A3);SE(E(A1=A4;A2=A3);SE(E(A2=A4;A3=A4);"ok")))
SE = IF
E = AND
Seems you could shorten it with
=AND(A1=A2,A1=A3,A1=A4)
Bonus question 1 & 2
Array formula: {AND(A1=A1:AN)}
This will test all cells in range, including text and numbers.
Cheers
A very simple solution uses Excel's Rank function. Insert in B1 = Rank(A1, $A$1:$A$4). Copy down this formula to B4. If the answers in B1 thru B4 are all 1, the values are equal. For an open range of cells, label the range of input (example "TestData") and place the label in the funtion (= Rank(A1, TestData) then copy down to an equivelent length of rows as the range.
=IF(SUM(A1:A4)/COUNT(A1:A4)=A1,TRUE,FALSE)
=IF(SUM(A1:D1)/4=A1,"True","False")
I enjoy your emails. I have learned a lot from them. Thank you for what you do.
.
{=PRODUCT(--(A1=A1:A4))}
.
Change A4 to An.
Greate
{=PRODUCT(- -(A1=A1:A4))}
=IF((SUM(A1:A4)/COUNT(A1:A4))=A1,"TRUE","FALSE")
I would use the formula which is mentioned below:-
=IF(PRODUCT($A:$A)=A1^(COUNTIF($A:$A,A1)),"Yes","No")
At last a homework assignment that I could answer on my own. And I even understand some of the elegant answers from other readers this time.
My solution was to nest IF statements:
=IF(A4=A3,IF(A3=A2,IF(A2=A1,TRUE,FALSE),FALSE),FALSE)
This satisfies bonus question 2 but I think the structure makes it impossible to modify this solution to satisfy bonus question 1. And I wouldn't want to use this strategy to compare very many values...
This answers all of your questions:
=PRODUCT(--(INDIRECT("$A$1:$A$"&$B$1)=$A$1))
where column A contains the values and $B$1 has the number of rows to assign to last A-cell.
Sorry, forgot the braces:
{=PRODUCT(–(INDIRECT(“$A$1:$A$”&$B$1)=$A$1))}
=IF(A1=A2:A2=A3:A3=A4>1,"TRUE","FALSE")
=IF(A1=A2:A2=A3:A3=An>1,"TRUE","FALSE")
=SUM(HELLO, A1)
{=IF(SUM(IF(A1:A4=A1,0,1))=0,TRUE,FALSE)}
This will work for numbers or text, and will work for any number of cells (A4 would just be An)
Here's another alternate, assuming values in cells a1:d1
=IF((A1*B1*C1*D1)^(1/COUNT(A1:D1))=AVERAGE(A1:D1),1,0)
{=IF(AND($A$1:$A$4=OFFSET(A1,0,0)),1,0)}
=SUM(IF(FREQUENCY(MATCH(A1:A4,A1:A4,0),MATCH(A1:A4,A1:A4,0))>0,1))
REVISED FORMULA
=IF((A1=A2)*AND(A1=A3)*AND(A1=A4),"TRUE","FALSE")
Regards
=IF(SUMPRODUCT(--(A2:A5=A2))/COUNTA(A2:A5)=1,1,0)
- should be --
I would use something like this: =COUNTA(A1:A4)=COUNTIF(A1:A4,A1)
You can even do a whole range and as you enter data into the range it tells you if they all match. Going down to row 5000: =COUNTA(A1:A5000)=COUNTIF(A1:A5000,A1).
Thanks,
B
Just saw Hui response. I really did come up with this and didn't just copy his.
{=SUM(--(A1:A101=A1))=(COUNTA(A1:A10)+COUNTBLANK(A1:A10))}
For numeric values:
=(OFFSET(list,,,1,1)=AVERAGE(list))
where list = A1:A4
I need to retract my own post here guys.
It is WRONG! Let me explain.
Suppose we have
A1 = 1
A2 = 0
A3 = 2
then Average = 1 and OFFSET(list,,,1,1) = 1
so 1 = 1 but all the elements are NOT equal.
correction
{=SUM(--(A1:A10=A1))=(COUNTA(A1:A10)+COUNTBLANK(A1:A10))}
=IF(A1=B1,IF(B1=C1,IF(C1=D1,TRUE,FALSE),FALSE),FALSE) ....
=COUNTIF(OFFSET($A$1,0,0,COUNTA($A:$A),1),$A$1)=ROWS(OFFSET($A$1,0,0,COUNTA($A:$A),1))
I have a little more flexible approach. Suppose the value of 'n' is known. There is a possibility that only some of the cells in a row are filled up. For example if n = 10, then in a row, A1 to A10 must be compared. But in case only cells upto A7 are filled up. The formula thus has to adapt accordingly. Below formula does that:
=COUNTIF(INDIRECT(ADDRESS(ROW(),1)&":"&ADDRESS(ROW(),COUNTA(A1:J1))),A1)=COUNTA(INDIRECT(ADDRESS(ROW(),1)&":"&ADDRESS(ROW(),COUNTA(A1:J1))))
In A1:A100 is word/number
In B1 is word/number we look
C1=MAX(FREQUENCY(IF(A1:A100=B1,ROW(A1:A100)),IF(A1:A100<>B1,ROW(A1:A100)))) array formula
We can use an array formula
{=PRODUCT(--(A1:An=A1))}
OR if we want n variable
{=PRODUCT(--(INDIRECT("A1:A"&COUNTA(A:A))=A1))}
Just as an add on...
The range could be 2D as well
{=PRODUCT(–(A1:Zn=A1))}
{=AND(A1=A2:An)}
I would use this one (simlpe)
=(COUNTA(A:A)=COUNTIF(A:A;A1))
try this
=MAX(A1:A4)=MIN(A1:A4)
Olso try this
{=SUM(RANK(A1:A10,A1:A10))=COUNT(A1:A10)}
Please notice it is an Array Formula
Dear All,
i used that formula
{=IF(COUNTIF(A1:A4,A1:A4)=COUNTA(A1:A4),TRUE,FALSE)}
Love the variety of responses.
=MAX(A1:A4)=MIN(A1:A4)
and
=COUNTA(A1:A4)=COUNTIF(A1:A4,A1)
will return true if the input range has blank cells
My personal fave is the array formula {=AND(A1=A1:A4)}. Short and sweet, and easy to read. Blank cells will tally as a mismatch.
A close second is
=SUMPRODUCT(1/COUNTIF(A1:A4,A1:A4))=1
which will throw an error if blanks are present.
=PRODUCT(B1:D1)=B1^COUNT(B1:D1)...will return TRUE or FALSE
Dear Sir,
My answer is =exact(a2,a1)
=IF((a1=a2=a3=a4),1,0)
4 equal values gives me a 0 ???
Hello Chandoo,
We can also use Conditional Formatting......
For Numerics..
=SUM(A1:AN)/A1=COUNT(A1:AN)
results in True/False.
=AND(IF(A1=B1,1,0),IF(B1=C1,1,0),IF(C1=D1,1,0))
=AND(A1=A2:A4) array entered
Generic
=AND(A1=A2:An) array entered
=--(COUNTIF(A1:A4,A1)=COUNTA(A1:A4))
will give value as 1 or 0
Hi there, here's a simple formula to determine not only whether all 4 cells (A1 --> A4) are equal, but also whether any of the cells are equal and identifies which cells they are ...
=COUNTIF($A$1:$A$4,A$1)*1000+COUNTIF($A$1:$A$4,A$2)*100+COUNTIF($A$1:$A$4,A$3)*10+COUNTIF($A$1:$A$4,A$4)*1
A result of 1111 means no cells are equal, 4444 means all cells are equal, 1212 would mean there are 2 cells the same & they are in A2 & A4, etc
=((A1=B1)+(A1=C1)+(A1=D1))=3
Obviously doesn't cover bonus question 1, but does so for q2 🙂
If formula
=MIN(A1:A4)=MAX(A1:A4)
Try this formula
=IF(COUNTIF(A1:A4,A1)-ROWS(A1:A4)=0,"True","Flase")
I used the Swiss knife of excel: SUMPRODUCT, works for numeric as well as for non-numeric cell content and A1:A4 is obviously easily changed to any range.
=IF(SUMPRODUCT(--(OFFSET($A$1:$A$4,0,0,ROWS($A$1:$A$4)-1,1)=OFFSET($A$1:$A$4,1,0,ROWS($A$1:$A$4)-1,1)))=ROWS($A$1:$A$4)-1,TRUE(),FALSE())
All of the individual non-array formulas (didn't test the array ones) have one flaw or another - mostly specifically if all the columns are blank, the result would still be false.
Another formula in the comments worked for these but didn't work for when all columns had "0.00" in them. My solution was to OR the two. If H3 through H149 have your values, then this is what worked for me:
=IF(OR(COUNTIF(H3:H149,H3)=COUNTA(H3:H149),SUMIFS(H3:H149,H3:H149,1)=COUNT(H3:H149)),IF(H3="","Blank",H3),"")
This solution puts "Blank" if all the rows are blank, otherwise, it puts whatever the value that's in all of the rows - "0.00" or whatever.
Thanks for all the answers!
I used a nested if statement which also showed, via the false message, the first instance of cells which were not equal for the cells a1 to a5.
=IF(A1=A2, IF(A2=A3, IF(A3=A4, IF(A4 = A5, "True","False A4"), "False A3"), "False A2"))
Hi,
First, let me begin by saying, I am a big fan of all your posts and read your emails, mostly on the same day as you send them. I have not replied as much as I wanted to.
This is my first attempt at answering a question on your post
I came up with a simple check which will test if all values in a range A1:An are same or not
Assuming range you want to check is A1:A10,
In Cell B1, insert the formula
=IF(COUNTIFS(A1:A10,A1)=COUNTA(A1:A10),"All cells are same","All cells are not same")
The idea I applied is counting total number of non-blank cells and then counting the number of cells which match cell A1. If these are same, then it means
a) all cells have the same value! (All can be blank, then both counts will be zero)
I am working on finding the range automatically 🙂
Can extend this into VBA and use InputBox etc to generate some user interaction
Thanks
Shailesh
=IF(COUNTIF(A1:A4,A1)=COUNT(A1:A4),TRUE,FALSE)
For homework & Bonus Question 3
=IF(AND(A1=A2,A2=A3,A3=A4),1,0)
=IF(SUMIFS(A12:A15,A12:A15,1)=COUNT(A12:A15),1,0)
One possible solution could be =+IF(COUNTIF(A1:A4,A1)-COUNT(A1:A4)=0,1,0)
where A1:A4 is data range which can be a dynamic range and the formula can be modified accordingly.
Rgds,
Sanjeev Sawal
I got the right result with this one:
=IF(A1=B1;IF(C1=D1;IF(B1=C1;1;0);0);0)
=and(a1=a2,a1=a2,a1=a3)
ANSWER FOR bONUS 1
=MAX(A1:A10)-MIN(A1:A10)
=AND(A1:A3=A2:A4)..Confirm with Ctrl+Shift+Enter (As as array formula). Works well for Text values and large range of values as well.
suppose cells contain 2 values ==== Yes | no
formula :
1
=counta(a1:a4)=countif(a1:a4,"yes")
It will return True or False.
2
=IF((COUNTA(A1:A4)=COUNTIF(A1:A4,"yes")),"Same value","Mis-match")
it will return Same Value OR Mis-match.
Hope you like it.
Regards
Istiyak
Also can use this formula
=IF(AND(A1=A2,A1=A3,A1=A4),"1","0")
Let say the values are in the range $B$1:$E$1, then the formula is:
If(sumproduct(--($B$1:$E$1=$B$1))=CountA($B$1:$E$1);1;0)
Please check that:
* $B$1 was used as pivot value and could be randomly selected
* It works well if parenthesis is omitted for values "1" and "0"
* This formula applies also to "n-values" and non-numeric values (text, logical, etc.)
Regards,
A
This formula is equivalent to
If(CountIF($B$1:$E$1,$B$1)=CountA($B$1:$E$1),1,0) mentioned before...
Hi, first time trying to solve a probleme.
New at this but really enjoying Chardoo.org
Think the following will work in all 3 questions
{=IF(SUM(IF(A1=$A:$A,1,0))=COUNTA($A:$A),TRUE,FALSE)}
Regards
Jorrie
use below formula for to get True / False
=COUNTA(A1:A4)=COUNT(A1:A4)
and use below formula for to get {1/0} or {match / Mismatch}
=IF(COUNTA(A1:A4)=COUNT(A1:A4),{1,0} or {match,Mismatch})
=IF(COUNTA(A1:A4)=COUNT(A1:A4),1,0) or =IF(COUNTA(A1:A4)=COUNT(A1:A4),"Match","Mismatch")
[...] Last week in Write a formula to check few cells have same value [Homework], [...]
Hi, sorry if it's repeated, this array formula works well with numbers or text, the range can easily be dynamic: {=AND(A1:An=A1)} Now, after three days, I understand a lot more about array formulae, thanks?
=IF(AND(A1=A2,A2=A3,A3=A4),"TRUE","FALSE")
What if there are not only four cells to compare but An?
how will I determine if there is one cell that is not equal from any other cells?
=IF(COUNTA(A1:A4)=COUNT(A1:A4),1,0)
=IF(COUNTA(A1:A4)=COUNT(A1:A4),”Match”,”Mismatch”)+
=IF(AND(A1=A2,A2=A3,A3=A4),”TRUE”,”FALSE”)
=iF(AND(EXACT(C15,D15),EXACT(E15,F15)),"Match","Mis-match")
how this formula works in excel (B4+E4)/50*20
I'm a little late to the party, but I figured I'd post anyways.
For numbers only:
=NOT(VAR.P(A1:An))
The formula given below will fulfill the all criteria including bonus questions
=IF(COUNTA(A:A)=COUNTIF(A:A,A1),"True","False")
REGARDS
=IF(MATCH(A1,A2:A4,0),TRUE,FALSE)
=IF(COUNTIF($A$1:$A$4,A1)>1,"true","false")
=IF(COUNTIF(A:A,A1)>1,"true","false")
@Naveen
You can simplify your formulas as below:
=COUNTIF($A$1:$A$4,A1)>1
=COUNTIF(A:A,A1)>1
Excel will return True or False without the need for the If() function
Hi ,
This question is similar to the one in the post.
I have Text values in cell A1 and A2.
If A1 = A2, update 10 in cell A3 , else 0.
Is there any formula for this. I am new to VB and hence do not have much knowledge. Eager to learn!!
Thanks in advance !!!
=AND(A1=A2,A1=A3,A1=A4)
also =IF(AND(A1:A4=A1),TRUE,FALSE)
my question is
finding the total of values in cell A1,A2,A3,A4,andA5
@Norine
Is it as simple as =Sum(A1:A5)
One can use "IF, AND" formula.
=IF(AND(A1=A2,A2=A3,A3=A1),"True","False")
=COUNTIF(A:A,A1)=COUNTA(A:A)
Enter array formula like, = IF($B$16:$B$21=$B$17:$B$22,"Yes","No")
Sorry, Enter a array formula like this: =IF(AND($B$16:$B$21=$B$17:$B$22),"Yes","No")
=IF(AND($E$5=$E$6,$E$6=$E$7,$E$7=$E$8),"true","flase")
it can work try this one
A question for you
sheet 1 table A1:C10
What formula in sheet 2 A1 will give me what is entered in the table sheet 1 A1:C10
There is usually only one entry made in the table but if you can supply the answer to 1 or 2 entries I would be grateful
=max(A:A)=min(A:A)
FOR TEXT DATA
=COUNTIF(A1:A5,a1)=COUNTIF(A1:A5,"*?")
FOR VALUE DATA
=COUNTIF(A1:A5,A1)=COUNTA(A1:A5)
Both Return TRUE or FALSE
=if({sum(1/countif($A$1:$A$n,A1:An)}=1,"All Same","Not All Same")
I use formula A1=B1 and get value of TRUE / FALSE in C1. I had dragged this formula for 10 rows. Now in cell D2 i tried to put formula..
=if(and(c1="False", c2="true"), "conflict", "no conflict")
but even when the condition is true i am still getting no conflict.
Can you please advice?
thanks,
Manish
@Manish
Remove the " from around True and False
=if(and(c1=False, c2=True), "conflict", "no conflict")
In C1 and C2 you have a Boolean expression and it evaluates as True/False
These are not text, although they do appear as Text, they are not 1/0 although they sometimes behave as 1/0, they are in fact Boolean values True/False
So in your example you can simplify it as
=If( And( Not(C1), C2), "conflict", "no conflict")
=SUMPRODUCT(MATCH(A1:A4,A1:A4,0))=COUNTIF(A1:A4,A1)
Answer to both bonus questions 2 and 3:
=COUNTIF(A1:An,A1)=COUNT(A1:An)
answer to all questions:
={IF(ISERROR(MATCH(FALSE,((A1:An)=$A$1),0)),"same","different")}
this works with numeric, non-numeric, and blanks:
COUNT will not count numeric
COUNTA will count blanks as one
=SUMPRODUCT(1/COUNTIF(B1:J1,B1:J1))
This will tell you how many unique values exist in the selected range. Text or numeric mixed.
{=IF(AND(A1:A9=A2:A10),"EQUAL","NOT EQUAL")}
this is an array formula, insert it with CSE.
COUNTA/UNIQUE
=SUMPRODUCT(A:A)/A1=COUNT(A:A)
=COUNTIF(A1:A4,A1) = COUNTA(A1:A4)
