Return every 50th Value?
Excel2003 ...
Range N3:N5002 ... contains 4 char Text (0200, 0340, 1050, etc) each value repeats 50 times. In Col D ... I wish a formula to return 1st occs only of each Value found in Col N == I can get results using "Advanced Filter Unique Records", but I need to do this by formula (if I can?) Thanks ... Kha |
Return every 50th Value?
something like this maybe pasted down for the entire range? it should show
the number of the occurance for each cell =COUNTIF(N3:$N$3,N3) "Ken" wrote: Excel2003 ... Range N3:N5002 ... contains 4 char Text (0200, 0340, 1050, etc) each value repeats 50 times. In Col D ...

Paste the below formula in N3 since your data stars from cell N3.
=IF(COUNTIF($N$3:$N3,$N3)=1,"1ST OCCURRENCE","DUPLICATES") Copy the Cell N3 and paste it to the remaining cells of N Column.

Return every 50th Value?
To clarify ... I had previously tried this formula as an array:
{=if(countif($n$3:n3,n3)=1,n3,"")} But then I had "blank" cells to deal with ... I do not want this. I wish: D3 ... return value from N3 D4 ... return value from N53 D5 ... return value from N103 D6 ... return value from N153 Etc ... My "Thanks" for supporting these boards ...

In cell D3 type: =OFFSET($N$1,2+(ROW()-3)*50,)

Try this one other way which strips it dynamically:
In say D3, copied down: =INDEX($N$3:$N$5002,ROWS($1:1)*50-50+1) The formula above is row independent, ie it can start in any cell in col D Success? celebrate it, hit YES below -- Max Singapore --- "Ken" wrote: Range N3:N5002 ... contains 4 char Text (0200, 0340, 1050, etc) each value repeats 50 times.
