Hello,
Before I start I want to say that English is not my first language, I am really sorry and i hope you understand... Also, after I’ve spent 3 hours writing formulas in excel my head isn’t really working that great, so my explanation of what I need might be kinda bad.
Anyway, I have fixed amount of columns (6 in example: can be seen at sheet called "llist1", more in real example:"real example of list1") and rows (8 in example, 62 in “real example").
These 6 "analyzed" columns consist 3 type of info, basically there were 3 columns, which were "cut" to 6. In my example those types of info are called "name1"(columns A and F), "name2"(B and G) and "a or b"(C and H). Also there are rows, which should not be “analyzed”.
First, according to example sheet called "list1", i need to extract unique values from some "fixed" rows of columns A and F, more detailed: a2:a4 a6:a8 f2:f4 f6:f8. Probably, a named list should be created. Also it would be great, if these names will be extracted in alphabetical order. This is the first problem.
Then there goes second, the big one, problem: I need to extract unique values from !"rows of fixed rows"! of columns B and G "for" extracted unique values from columns A and F.
It is really easier to understand if you look at the analyzed information structure at the example sheet and what I want have in the end at "ideal" or "wanted" sheets.
By saying "rows of rows" I mean something like this: cell B2 contains this:
1st "row": abc-301
2nd "row": abc-302
3rd "row: abc-303
All this rows, thanks god, always contain 7 signs. I suppose a second named list is needed here, i e: b2:b4 b6:b8 g2:g4 g6:g8
After that I need to count A's or B's, according to rows, already done that myself using asterisks.
Thank you for help.
PS: how can i attach an excel file? checkick the faq info, the spreadsheet will appear in a couple of minutes...
