查找包含4个特定值的所有行？

Question

I am using excel and I have a table of numbers with 6 columns from A to F and more than 1000 rows. For example, from my table,

4 17 37 38 47 53
8 43 54 55 56 60
4 18 21 25 38 57
15 25 37 38 58 59
4 16 19 20 27 43
18 32 47 50 54 56

i want to find if there is at least a row ( it must be a row! ) that contains the numbers 16 19 20 27. From this example, there is a match, but i don't know how to make a search or formula using four diferent numbers.

I feel like I need to use the match function but can't quite figure it out and I'm not sure about it. Does anyone know how to do this?

Thanks!

Answer 1

This should work:

=IF(AND(OR(A1=16,B1=16,C1=16,D1=16,E1=16,F1=16),OR(A1=19,B1=19,C1=19,D1=19,E1=19,F1=19),OR(A1=20,B1=20,C1=20,D1=20,E1=20,F1=20),OR(A1=27,B1=27,C1=27,D1=27,E1=27,F1=27)),"Yes","No")

Put it in a new column in the table. It will return a Yes if the row contains all 4 values, and a No otherwise. You can then filter the new column of Yes/No to search for a row with Yes

Answer 2

I put the four values you are seeking in I1:L1 and the array of data to be searched in A1:F# . Then in column G create a helper column that concatenates A:F into a delimited string. The formula in G1 is:

=":"&A1&":"&B1&":"&C1&":"&D1&":"&E1&":"&F1&":"

where I've used ":" for the delimiter (you can use any char that's not in your data).

The result in G1 is:

:4:17:37:38:47:53:

Now in H1 use this formula to search:

=NOT(ISERR(FIND(":"&$I$1&":",G1)*FIND(":"&$J$1&":",G1)*FIND(":"&$K$1&":",G1)*FIND(":"&$L$1&":",G1)))

Each FIND will return an INT if the value (with leading and trailing delimiters) is found and #VALUE! otherwise. So the product will be an INT if all values are found and #VALUE! otherwise. Wrapping the FINDs inside an ISERR makes the result prettier (TRUE/FALSE instead of #VALUE!), and inverting with NOT returns TRUE when all 4 values are found and FALSE otherwise.

Hope that helps.

Answer 3

Here's another way --- more elegant (no helper column). As before, I put the four values you are seeking in I1:L1 and the array of data to be searched in A1:F# . Then in column G use this ARRAY formula (CTRL-SHIFT-ENTER):

=NOT(OR(PRODUCT(A1:F1-$I$1)<>0,PRODUCT(A1:F1-$J$1)<>0,PRODUCT(A1:F1-$K$1)<>0,PRODUCT(A1:F1-$L$1)<>0))

Each PRODUCT term checks for the existence of one value and returns 0 when the value is found and a non-zero value otherwise. The results of each of the four PRODUCT terms is tested with <>0 which will return TRUE if a value is not found. Then OR with return TRUE if one or more values are not found and FALSE if all are found. That result is wrapped in a NOT so that the function result is TRUE when all four values are found.
