HELP WITH COMBINING LARGE FORMULAS

Deleted
Not applicable

Hello gurus!  I have attached my examples for you to look at to help my questions make sense.  I have two separate formulas that work for different parts of my overall Excel project.  One formula is for static information and the other formula is for dynamic data (or multi-data cells).  I want to combine the two formulas to ultimately return the information on the green "Combined Info" tab...the Candidate ID,  #ComboMatch (the # of Job Order matches) and JobOrderIDs.

 

The two working formulas I have are:

 

Static formula: =COUNTIFS(JOs[Dept],[@Dept],JOs[Relo],[@Relo],JOs[2DigZip],[@2DigZip])+(0.00001*ROW())

 

Dynamic formula: =(IF((ISNUMBER(SEARCH("in play",'Practice Data 2.xlsx'!CandTable[@Status]))+ISNUMBER(SEARCH("ready",'Practice Data 2.xlsx'!CandTable[@Status])))*('Practice Data 2.xlsx'!JOtable[@Status]="in play"),"1","0"))*(IF((ISNUMBER(SEARCH("contract",'Practice Data 2.xlsx'!CandTable[@EmpPref]))+ISNUMBER(SEARCH("perm",'Practice Data 2.xlsx'!CandTable[@EmpPref])))*('Practice Data 2.xlsx'!JOtable[@EmpPref]="contract"),"1","0"))

 

How do I combine these two formulas into one large one?  I am not sure which is more useful, TEXTJOIN or IF(ISNUMBER(SEARCH....)).

 

Thanks for reading and for your helpful ideas!

Hi

 

First the ResultsTable is referring to another file Practice Data 2.xlsx which you didn't provide - thus resulting the formulas in #REF errors.

And second what exactly are you trying to do? What is the desired output?

 

 

Hi!  Thanks for your response.  Please find Practice Data 2.xlsx attached.

 

What I am trying to do is combine the two different formulas into one large formula.  I am trying to find out which candidate has the most job matches.

 

I hope this helps!

Could you provide a sheet with the desired output (just the values)?

Is Power Query available?

 

 

Hi!  I've attached another workbook with the information I'm looking for on the green tab.  And no, I do not have Power Query.

 

Thanks!

Oh, too bad because I think PQ would be the best way to tackle the problem.

 

Hmm.  Could you please send me the PQ information anyway?  My co-worker has used that before (I think) and he might be able to explain it to me.

 

Thanks!

That will take some time. First I have to understand your model.
