  Asked By: Muaz    Date: Mar 07    Category: MS Office    Views: 686
  

i have excel data
3,5,5,3
5,3,3,5,5
3,5,5,3,3
5,5,5,5
3,3,5,5,3
i'd like to solve continuing number in row order manner
ie results are
1:5
2:7
3:
4:1

2:7 is
5 for row1
3,5 for row2
5,3 for row3
3,5 for row5
total=7

It seems to me some of the info was corrupted in converting to plain text.
Perhaps you would like to try again writing your original in plain text. If
necessary use a vertical bar to show where each column ends.

I cannot understand how 5 +3,5 +5,3 +3,5 give a total of 7

Could you explain a bit more please?

3,5,5,3
5,3,3,5,5
3,5,5,3,3
5,5,5,5
3,3,5,5,3

is placed at a1:e5

for 1st line 5 is continuing then 1:2 and 2:1
for 2nd line 3,5 is continuing then 1:1 and 2:2
for 3rd line 3,5 is continuing then 1:1 and 2:2
for forth line 5 is continuing then 4:1
for fifth line 3,5 is continuing then 1:1 and 2:2

and range and number  is changable,varied.

i'd like to get result like below,

1:5
2:7
3:
4:1

I "think" what he's trying to say is that he's trying to
create some type of "pattern recognition" algorithm.
I "think" his data is:
: A|B|C|D|E
1: 3|5|5|3|
2: 5|3|3|5|5
3: 3|5|5|3|3
4: 5|5|5|5|
5: 3|3|5|5|3

and I "think" he'd like to predict the next number(s) in the series.
(what he's calling "continuing")
But I don't understand his explanation and notations of:
> for 1st line 5 is continuing then 1:2 and 2:1
> for 2nd line 3,5 is continuing then 1:1 and 2:2
> for 3rd line 3,5 is continuing then 1:1 and 2:2
> for forth line 5 is continuing then 4:1
> for fifth line 3,5 is continuing then 1:1 and 2:2
>
> and range and number  is changable,varied.
>
> i'd like to get result like below,
>
> 1:5
> 2:7
> 3:
> 4:1

So... I may be completely off-target.

Option Explicit
Function classify(data1 As Range, whatnum As Integer)
Dim data, loop1 As Long, loop2 As Long, odata As Integer
Dim n As Integer, an As Integer, ans(), vkey
data = data1.Value
For loop1 = 1 To UBound(data, 1)
odata = data(loop1, 1)
For loop2 = 1 To UBound(data, 2)
If odata = data(loop1, loop2) Then

End If

Next

If whatnum = ans(loop1) Then Debug.Print ans(loop1):

WorksheetFunction.CountIf(WorksheetFunction.Transpose

Exit Function
Else
End If
Next
End With
End Function

i roughly make udf,but no result and error,if have any idea will help.

Answer #7    Answered By: Muriel Dunn     Answered On: Mar 07

Row 1 has a sequence of 1, then a sequence of 2 then a sequence of 1
identical values.
So it has 2 sequences of 1 and 1 sequence of 2

If you do that for each row  and then find the totals for each sequence value
there are 5 sequences of 1
7 sequences of 2
No sequences of 3
1 sequence of 4

Hence
1:5
2:7 etc.

He would need to step through each row identifying sequences, accumulating
the counts of sequences in an array, and then suck them out of the array and
put them in the target cells.

I do not have the time to write this for him. Is it school homework? If so
perhaps I have given enough help?
