Find Minif, Maxif

rshewade — Sun, 15 Jan 2012 19:46:28 +0000

Many times you got stuck with a thought of why Minif and Maxif is not provided along with Sumif, Countif ? And yes, even I do think on the same lines. Today I am going to demonstrate you can easily achieve the same though not provided by excel, but I still expect Microsoft to add this support natively.

Text Split with Excel Formula – Example

rshewade — Sun, 28 Aug 2011 14:47:24 +0000

In one of the comments it has been asked as query about splitting some text from a string. In this post I am answering the query plus further extending it so that we can cover maximum use of Text Formulas Left, Right and Mid.

The query -

How to get Ch. No. 123456 from entire string like

Case 1 – ‘Ch.No. 123456 being the amt paid to party against bill no.256 dt. 12.07.2011′ or

Case 2 – ‘Mr. X given Ch.No. 123456 being the amt paid to party against bill no.256 dt. 12.07.2011′.

How to get cube root or even further

rshewade — Sat, 05 Mar 2011 07:19:49 +0000

Hi all,

Writing after many days……

Yesterday I came across a situation where I wanted to have cube root. Now for square root there is a function that we are used to =SQRT(), but there is no function but there is a nice way to achieve this with a special character ‘^’.

Now I know that this is the same character we use for calculating nth power of any value but there is a very simple arithmetic and you can even calculate root as well. Basically for calculating root you need to mention it as 1 by that power.

Example: If i want to calculate Square root of 4, it would be 4^(1/2). Don’t forget the brackets they are very important. Similarly for cube root the power would be (1/3) so to find cube root of 8 you need to give formula as 8^(1/3).

This way you can go till whatever power you want in roots.

Hope this will help some of you who are not aware of this.

More info – Excel Function LARGE

Please refer my previous post – about Large Function

With reference to comment by Robert…

Both these functions Large and Small, presumably sorting the values in range given internally and then returning the results as per rank. Yes if your computer memory is really small then there might be some issue when you are using large function and the range items are numerous.

But you can do a smart thing as pointed out by Robert use Max / Min function if you want to find largest or smallest value respectively it works faster. Use Large/Small only when you want to find 2nd or third value in series.

Thanks Robert for your comment.

Hi friends,

Here goes the Text Split formula Part II, which will explain how to split First Name, Middle Name and Last Name.

Of course, you can use this many other ways too, so try to understand the logic behind this.

Formulas Used:

Just like previous part, we are also going to use Left, Right & find formulas.

All the three formulas are much simple to use and the real magic is binding them together to get desired results.

Text Split with Excel Formula – Part I

rshewade — Sun, 13 Jul 2008 14:33:51 +0000

It always happens that you need to use text to column feature in excel. for some it’s rare but from some it’s everyday exercise. Think about the advantages that you will get if you can split text with formulas.

Let’s see how you can do that with example:

If you have a string ‘Firstname Lastname’, in A3 how you will separate this text with formulas so that you will have firstname and lastname in separate columns.

There are two formulas involved.

Left and right
