Is it possible to Rank repeating strings without repeating same ranks in an Excel Table?
I see. Excel Table "remembers" that, for example, C5 is in the last row of the table. If you expand the table it adjust formula in row 5 such way it reference on the last row of expanded table. Thus you have two formulas with C6 an no one with C5.
Workaround could be
=[@Date]&[@Fruit]& COUNTIFS( $C$2:INDEX([Fruit],ROW()-ROW(Table1[[#Headers],[Fruit]])), [@Fruit], $B$2:INDEX([Date],ROW()-ROW(Table1[[#Headers],[Date]])), [@Date])
Nishkarsh31 If you are willing to add a helper column to your table that counts the occurrence of each fruit, then the picture below might work for you. It's perhaps not the most elegant solution, but it's easy and it works.
With same idea that could be slightly modified initial formula (without helper column)
=[@Date]&[@Fruit]&COUNTIFS($C$2:$C2,[@Fruit],$B$2:$B2,[@Date])However, batch number is changing if transform the table, e.g. to sort it.
Hi SergeiBaklan , I've tried this already.
For some unknown reason when we expand a variable range like $C$2:C4
As soon as table expands by one row
it becomes $C$2:C6 instead of $C$2:C5
and the formula doesn't work anymore
I don't know if it's a glitch or something.
Let me know if you can find a solution to this
