Top n vs. Others in Excel
Hi all, I'm seeking some help because I'm kind of new to the more intermediate stuff in Excel. I have an Excel table with the following columns: Subcategory in column A, Brand in column B, Region in column C, Year in column D and Values Month in column E. I want to create a PivotTable and a Pivot line chart from this PivotTable that ranks the Top 5 Brands vs. Other Competitors by each region. For added context: There are 5 subcategories, 3 regions and 25 brands. Currently, I've tried grouping the remaining 20 brands as "Other Competitors" vs. the Top 5 brands within a selected region and possibly all regions (when no selection is made). I'm seeking a solution similar to this... Please mind the colours. I will sort those out later. But, the problem that I'm faced with is that upon selection of a region, the PivotTable won't update to the Top 5 brands of a selected region because they've already been grouped. How can I make this more dynamic so that I'm able to show The Top 5 brands vs. Others? Please help. EDIT: My operating system is Windows 10 (64-bit) and I use Excel 365 (Desktop version). For reference, I've attached a link to a sample file. https://1drv.ms/x/c/b2d878e32a062614/IQC1wcnwLICcQasOfnGcwKn0ASjpXp9xQ6rjnOP10Jal5cc?e=HaXEWd Thank you all once again.
Validating & Populating Cells with dates based on a Date Picker
Hello, we are working on a really simple delivery schedule for Monday thru Friday. The top row has a cell that is formatted as a short date picker. In choosing a date in that cell, I would like the dates of the 5 numbered cells below for each day of that week to be updated based on the date chosen. For instance, I chose 2/1/26 in the date picker. I would like cells A2, H2, O2, V2, and AC2 to correlate to that date number and automatically populate the proper day of the month. If possible, it would be great if the month names that are in cells D3, K3, R3, Y3, and AF3 would also correlate and update properly. Any help would be most appreciated, I attached a screenshot to show the layout. Thank you very much in advance.
Replacing a string of words with a single number
I work with a lot of outcome data from a survey that has words as the typical response to questions. I need to convert those words to a number value so that I can analyze the data (example: "I really agree" -> "4"). I would need to be able to do this across multiple cells with multiple different values that I don't want to change. I have tried the substitute and replace functions and have run into problems with both that don't allow me to change the one specific text value to a specific number across multiple cells with different values. I am hoping there is a way to do this in excel using functions that I just haven't found yet as this is a process that I currently do manually across hundreds of cells. Would appreciate any help or advice to streamline this process, thanks!
Stacked Excel Formula
Hello everyone. I've spent the past 2-3 hours trying to figure this out on my own without luck. What I'm needing is a formula that will check D11 (highlighted) to make sure that it's within the parameters listed below it (<17), then I need it to do the same for H11 and I11 (highlighted) and enter the number (1-3) that are not "equal to or greater/less than" into K11. K11 reflects how many samples in Row 11 that are outside of those parameters. I'm trying to make this worksheet more automated and this is the one thing that I cant figure out. Example 1: (all numbers are within parameters, so a 0 is entered into column K) Example 2: (column G is not within the parameters, therefor there is 1 entry in column K)
Excel XIRR fails in Desktop & Online — ATP not binding, cloud profile corruption
I need help from the Excel engineering team. My Microsoft 365 account appears to have a corrupted Analysis ToolPak (ATP) function binding for XIRR at the cloud profile level. Symptoms: - =XIRR({-100,110},{1,2}) returns a long fallback constant instead of 0.1 - GET.CELL reports XIRR as invalid - Excel Online produces the same incorrect fallback value - Desktop Excel produces the same incorrect fallback value - A brand-new Windows user profile produces the same result - A full uninstall/reinstall does not fix it - ATP is enabled and ANALYS32.XLL is present - No Name Manager overrides, no LAMBDA overrides, no VBA, no add-ins - Dates are valid Excel serial numbers - All local Office registry keys, Feature Store, and activation tokens were wiped and rebuilt - Excel is fully activated and licensed - The issue persists across all environments Because Excel Online returns the same fallback constant, this is clearly not a local machine issue. It appears to be a cloud-side Excel profile corruption, specifically the ATP function registry for my Microsoft 365 account. Request: Please escalate this to the Excel service engineering team to reset/rebuild my Excel Online profile and ATP function map for my account. Thank you. Bob
