i have the formula which checks 5 criteria and 2 formula check the other 2 column which i put by (ctrl+shift+del) can we combine both the formula


1. formula


=MIN(MAX(G3*INDEX($S$3:$S$138,L3)%,E3+INDEX($X$3:$X$138,L3)),MAX(G3*INDEX($T$3:$T$138,L3)%,E3+INDEX($Y$3:$Y$138,L3)),MAX(G3*INDEX($U$3:$U$138,L3)%,E3+INDEX($Z$3:$Z$138,L3)),MAX(G3*INDEX($V$3:$V$138,L3)%,E3+INDEX($AA$3:$AA$138,L3)),MAX(G3*INDEX($W$3:$W$138,L3)%,E3+INDEX($AB$3:$AB$138,L3)))




2.formula- array ctrl+shift+del


=MATCH(1,($Q$3:$Q$138=A3)*($R$3:$R$138=B3),0)
 

Excel Facts

Is there a shortcut key for strikethrough?
Ctrl+S is used for Save. Ctrl+5 is used for Strikethrough. Why Ctrl+5? When you use hashmarks to count |||| is 4, strike through to mean 5.
Presumably, your second formula is in L3. You can just put that formula in your first formula wherever you see L3, and confirm it with Control+Shift+Enter. You can switch the formula to a non-array formula by using something like this as your second formula:

=LOOKUP(2,1/(($Q$3:$Q$138=A3)*($R$3:$R$138=B3)),ROW($Q$3:$Q$138)-ROW($Q$3)+1)

However, I don't recommend this course of action! Either version of the second formula is a pretty intensive calculation, you don't want to force the first formula to calculate it 10 times. That's the whole point of helper cells, to calculate some things to make other formulas simpler.

Incidentally, you can shorten your first formula by changing it to an array formula:

=MIN(IF(G3*INDEX($S$3:$W$138,L3,0)%>E3+INDEX($X$3:$AB$138,L3,0),G3*INDEX($S$3:$W$138,L3,0)%,E3+INDEX($X$3:$AB$138,L3,0)))

with Control+Shift+Enter. This uses some nice properties of INDEX, along with the design of your sheet.

Thanks @Eric W the formula is working fine (second formula is in column L) but it is possible to combine this 2 formula's in one

Or am I missing your point?

No I was just assuming that helper formula can be added in main formula it can be done
