Excel ограничение длины формулы

There are at least two forms of formula in Excel. One is used for cells, and the other is used for data validation. The max length limit for the formula to do data validation is about only 210 chars.

Here is a problem I am trying to solve. Given a data set with categories and values

category   value1   value2
a           1.0     ...
a           2.0
a           1.0
a           3.0
b           1.0
b           5.0
b           2.0     ...
...

I want to validate these values by checking if the value change from the row above is within one sigma deviation of its category. That means we need to skip the first row of each category.

Here is what I tried:

The following formula works for cells of each category beginning from the second row to the last row of its category.

=INDIRECT(ADDRESS(ROW(), COLUMN())) - INDIRECT(ADDRESS(ROW()-1, COLUMN())) < 
1.0*STDDEV.P(INDIRECT(ADDRESS(MATCH(INDIRECT("A" & ROW()), $A:$A, 0), COLUMN()) & ":" &ADDRESS(MATCH(INDIRECT("A"&ROW()),$A:$A, 1), COLUMN())))

However, the following doesn’t work because of the max length limit of formula in excel — just add IF(formula_above, True, False):

=IF(INDIRECT(ADDRESS(ROW(), COLUMN())) - INDIRECT(ADDRESS(ROW()-1, COLUMN())) < 
1.0*STDDEV.P(INDIRECT(ADDRESS(MATCH(INDIRECT("A" & ROW()), $A:$A, 0), COLUMN()) & ":" &ADDRESS(MATCH(INDIRECT("A"&ROW()),$A:$A, 1), COLUMN()))), TRUE, FALSE)

This can work if one input the formula into a cell, but it doesn’t work for the refer-to formula of Data Validation.

To work with all cells all rows (without need to manully skip the first row of each category), I wrote following formula for data validation. But it gives «The FOrmula currently evaluates to an error…» because of the max length limit of the excel.

=IF(MATCH(INDIRECT("A" & ROW()), $A:$A, 0) = ROW(), TRUE,
INDIRECT(ADDRESS(ROW(), COLUMN())) - INDIRECT(ADDRESS(ROW()-1, COLUMN())) < 
1.0*STDDEV.P(INDIRECT(ADDRESS(MATCH(INDIRECT("A" & ROW()), $A:$A, 0), COLUMN()) & ":" &ADDRESS(MATCH(INDIRECT("A"&ROW()),$A:$A, 1), COLUMN()))))

Although Microsoft claims that the length limit of formula of excel is «8192», it seems not true:

Update:

Here is another try for the formula of «Data Validation»:

=IF($A2<>$A1, TRUE, abs(B2-B1)<Stdev.P(offset(indirect(address(match($A2,$A:$A,0), column())), 0,0,countif($A:$A, $A2,1)))

It is strange that the True/False value of the formula above is correct when I input in a cell, but when I input it in the «Data Validation» ->Custom -> Formula. The result is completely wrong. It always gives False.

hello guys

I am using office 2019

I tried to maintain our work activity progress in the project by making a tracking plane depending on the entry data we have provided it in another sheet table

for an example:

I have a finished work along alignment from

station : 0+300 to 0+500

and from 

station : 0+700 to 0+900

i would like highlight the cells under my station’s dividing in the sheet

I have used this formula and it was successful:

=IF(OR(AND(A$1>=BEDDING!$A$1,A$1<=BEDDING!$B$1),AND(A$1>=BEDDING!$A$2,A$1<=BEDDING!$B$2),AND(A$1>=BEDDING!$A$3,A$1<=BEDDING!$B$3),AND(A$1>=BEDDING!$A$4,A$1<=BEDDING!$B$4),AND(A$1>=BEDDING!$A$5,A$1<=BEDDING!$B$5),AND(A$1>=BEDDING!$A$6,A$1<=BEDDING!$B$6),AND(A$1>=BEDDING!$A$7,A$1<=BEDDING!$B$7),AND(A$1>=BEDDING!$A$8,A$1<=BEDDING!$B$8),AND(A$1>=BEDDING!$A$9,A$1<=BEDDING!$B$9),AND(A$1>=BEDDING!$A$10,A$1<=BEDDING!$B$10),AND(A$1>=BEDDING!$A$11,A$1<=BEDDING!$B$11),AND(A$1>=BEDDING!$A$12,A$1<=BEDDING!$B$12),AND(A$1>=BEDDING!$A$13,A$1<=BEDDING!$B$13),AND(A$1>=BEDDING!$A$14,A$1<=BEDDING!$B$14),AND(A$1>=BEDDING!$A$15,A$1<=BEDDING!$B$15),AND(A$1>=BEDDING!$A$16,A$1<=BEDDING!$B$16),AND(A$1>=BEDDING!$A$17,A$1<=BEDDING!$B$17),AND(A$1>=BEDDING!$A$18,A$1<=BEDDING!$B$18),AND(A$1>=BEDDING!$A$19,A$1<=BEDDING!$B$19),AND(A$1>=BEDDING!$A$20,A$1<=BEDDING!$B$20),AND(A$1>=BEDDING!$A$21,A$1<=BEDDING!$B$21),AND(A$1>=BEDDING!$A$22,A$1<=BEDDING!$B$22),AND(A$1>=BEDDING!$A$23,A$1<=BEDDING!$B$23),AND(A$1>=BEDDING!$A$24,A$1<=BEDDING!$B$24),AND(A$1>=BEDDING!$A$25,A$1<=BEDDING!$B$25),AND(A$1>=BEDDING!$A$26,A$1<=BEDDING!$B$26),AND(A$1>=BEDDING!$A$27,A$1<=BEDDING!$B$27),AND(A$1>=BEDDING!$A$28,A$1<=BEDDING!$B$28),AND(A$1>=BEDDING!$A$29,A$1<=BEDDING!$B$29),AND(A$1>=BEDDING!$A$30,A$1<=BEDDING!$B$30),AND(A$1>=BEDDING!$A$31,A$1<=BEDDING!$B$31),AND(A$1>=BEDDING!$A$32,A$1<=BEDDING!$B$32),AND(A$1>=BEDDING!$A$33,A$1<=BEDDING!$B$33),AND(A$1>=BEDDING!$A$34,A$1<=BEDDING!$B$34),AND(A$1>=BEDDING!$A$35,A$1<=BEDDING!$B$35),AND(A$1>=BEDDING!$A$36,A$1<=BEDDING!$B$36),AND(A$1>=BEDDING!$A$37,A$1<=BEDDING!$B$37),AND(A$1>=BEDDING!$A$38,A$1<=BEDDING!$B$38),AND(A$1>=BEDDING!$A$39,A$1<=BEDDING!$B$39),AND(A$1>=BEDDING!$A$40,A$1<=BEDDING!$B$40),AND(A$1>=BEDDING!$A$41,A$1<=BEDDING!$B$41),AND(A$1>=BEDDING!$A$42,A$1<=BEDDING!$B$42),AND(A$1>=BEDDING!$A$43,A$1<=BEDDING!$B$43),AND(A$1>=BEDDING!$A$44,A$1<=BEDDING!$B$44),AND(A$1>=BEDDING!$A$45,A$1<=BEDDING!$B$45),AND(A$1>=BEDDING!$A$46,A$1<=BEDDING!$B$46),AND(A$1>=BEDDING!$A$47,A$1<=BEDDING!$B$47),AND(A$1>=BEDDING!$A$48,A$1<=BEDDING!$B$48),AND(A$1>=BEDDING!$A$49,A$1<=BEDDING!$B$49),AND(A$1>=BEDDING!$A$50,A$1<=BEDDING!$B$50),AND(A$1>=BEDDING!$A$51,A$1<=BEDDING!$B$51),AND(A$1>=BEDDING!$A$52,A$1<=BEDDING!$B$52),AND(A$1>=BEDDING!$A$53,A$1<=BEDDING!$B$53),AND(A$1>=BEDDING!$A$54,A$1<=BEDDING!$B$54),AND(A$1>=BEDDING!$A$55,A$1<=BEDDING!$B$55),AND(A$1>=BEDDING!$A$56,A$1<=BEDDING!$B$56),AND(A$1>=BEDDING!$A$57,A$1<=BEDDING!$B$57),AND(A$1>=BEDDING!$A$58,A$1<=BEDDING!$B$58),AND(A$1>=BEDDING!$A$59,A$1<=BEDDING!$B$59),AND(A$1>=BEDDING!$A$60,A$1<=BEDDING!$B$60),AND(A$1>=BEDDING!$A$61,A$1<=BEDDING!$B$61),AND(A$1>=BEDDING!$A$62,A$1<=BEDDING!$B$62),AND(A$1>=BEDDING!$A$63,A$1<=BEDDING!$B$63),AND(A$1>=BEDDING!$A$64,A$1<=BEDDING!$B$64),AND(A$1>=BEDDING!$A$65,A$1<=BEDDING!$B$65),AND(A$1>=BEDDING!$A$66,A$1<=BEDDING!$B$66),AND(A$1>=BEDDING!$A$67,A$1<=BEDDING!$B$67),AND(A$1>=BEDDING!$A$68,A$1<=BEDDING!$B$68),AND(A$1>=BEDDING!$A$69,A$1<=BEDDING!$B$69),AND(A$1>=BEDDING!$A$70,A$1<=BEDDING!$B$70),AND(A$1>=BEDDING!$A$71,A$1<=BEDDING!$B$71),AND(A$1>=BEDDING!$A$72,A$1<=BEDDING!$B$72),AND(A$1>=BEDDING!$A$73,A$1<=BEDDING!$B$73),AND(A$1>=BEDDING!$A$74,A$1<=BEDDING!$B$74),AND(A$1>=BEDDING!$A$75,A$1<=BEDDING!$B$75),AND(A$1>=BEDDING!$A$76,A$1<=BEDDING!$B$76),AND(A$1>=BEDDING!$A$77,A$1<=BEDDING!$B$77),AND(A$1>=BEDDING!$A$78,A$1<=BEDDING!$B$78),AND(A$1>=BEDDING!$A$79,A$1<=BEDDING!$B$79),AND(A$1>=BEDDING!$A$80,A$1<=BEDDING!$B$80),AND(A$1>=BEDDING!$A$81,A$1<=BEDDING!$B$81),AND(A$1>=BEDDING!$A$82,A$1<=BEDDING!$B$82),AND(A$1>=BEDDING!$A$83,A$1<=BEDDING!$B$83),AND(A$1>=BEDDING!$A$84,A$1<=BEDDING!$B$84),AND(A$1>=BEDDING!$A$85,A$1<=BEDDING!$B$85),AND(A$1>=BEDDING!$A$86,A$1<=BEDDING!$B$86),AND(A$1>=BEDDING!$A$87,A$1<=BEDDING!$B$87),AND(A$1>=BEDDING!$A$88,A$1<=BEDDING!$B$88),AND(A$1>=BEDDING!$A$89,A$1<=BEDDING!$B$89),AND(A$1>=BEDDING!$A$90,A$1<=BEDDING!$B$90),AND(A$1>=BEDDING!$A$91,A$1<=BEDDING!$B$91),AND(A$1>=BEDDING!$A$92,A$1<=BEDDING!$B$92),AND(A$1>=BEDDING!$A$93,A$1<=BEDDING!$B$93),AND(A$1>=BEDDING!$A$94,A$1<=BEDDING!$B$94),AND(A$1>=BEDDING!$A$95,A$1<=BEDDING!$B$95),AND(A$1>=BEDDING!$A$96,A$1<=BEDDING!$B$96),AND(A$1>=BEDDING!$A$97,A$1<=BEDDING!$B$97),AND(A$1>=BEDDING!$A$98,A$1<=BEDDING!$B$98),AND(A$1>=BEDDING!$A$99,A$1<=BEDDING!$B$99),AND(A$1>=BEDDING!$A$100,A$1<=BEDDING!$B$100)),1,0)

but I can’t enter character more than 8192

so is there any solution for it or other way to solve it

best regards
