Hi there Excel Tutors and Gurus
I hope I explain this well enough that you can help.
I have a simple data sheet produced by an MT4 trading platform (Snippet below)
The data sheet
Two columns = pair
There are 28 pairs in total (Row)
The 'setting' range is from 1 to 100 (as a column of data)
Each pair will have the number range 1 to 100
The 'setting' has produced a respective 'value' which varies (negative to positive) from pair to pair
The aim
To compare the 'settings' and corresponding 'values' of each pair 1, pair 2, pair 3 etc to ascertain which setting produces the best value (positive number)
This may be a single number or more likely a small range of 'settings' that produce the better 'value' / result
Background
I have done some draft calculations but this is hugely time consuming so I need a way to manipulate the data to either produce a simple output
I have played around with charts - that didn't go as well as desired.
I have run some basic 'IF' functions, but I am not getting the 'IF' function to perform through the whole column of data!
Solution
If there is a easy way of manipulating the data.
Once I see a formula I tend to get the workings - as a newbie, I have a lot to learn
Any guidance, assistance or answers are much appreciated.
