match two columns (with equal dates) and their attached datasets
I do have several instruments that collect water quality data every 15
minutes. All data sets are imported into excel. Because I do have to throw out some data points, there are gaps in the data sets and the date column of the instruments do not line up anymore. In order to do appropriate statistics I do have to have matching date columns. how can I do this? thanks |

hi claudia,
you are relying on the structure of the dataset to align the time series from the various instruments, so that any interruption ruins the alignment. i suggest an alternative: since each data point, ie row of data collected, is probably time stamped with a time, your statistics functions should exploit the time stamp. even if the rows are out of alignment, the timestamps should identify the points for each time. that's easily done using VLOOKUP. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ ExcelJockey's profile: http://www.exceljockeys.com/forums/p...iewprofile&u=4 View this thread: http://www.exceljockeys.com/forums/v...c.php?t=304597 |
