I'm having issues figuring out how to combine numbers into one chart in Tableau. Attached is an example of what I'm looking to recreate.
I can make something similar to this using multiple worksheets, but I'm hoping to do it in one worksheet. The far left column are grouped items from the data source. i.e. Apple, grape, banana = Group 1. Maybe the groups are screwing it up, or maybe I'm not creating the LODs for "Things", "Stuff", and "Other" correctly. I would appreciate anyone's help. Attached Image

I've read a few similar questions, and I can't seem to find exactly what I'm trying to do.
I have a roster of employees in sheet "Roster" with their names in Column A. In sheet "Hours" I have a list of assigned jobs for tomorrow, with the assigned employee's name also in Column A. I'm trying to add a column of employees from the roster that are NOT in the list of employees on jobs.
The closest I've gotten is with this, on the Hours sheet:
=ARRAYFORMULA(VLOOKUP('Roster'!A2:A, A2:A,1,0))
which gives me a list of the entire roster, with the missing ones returning an #N/A error that tells me the missing name when I mouse over it and read the error code. Is there a way to just get a list of the errors? Would I be better off attacking this from a completely different angle?
EDIT: Sanitized example pictures. If what I was trying to do worked, it would return Bob and Jim in this example.
Assuming you're trying to return this list in the "Hours" sheet, you can build off what you had. Try this:
=ARRAYFORMULA(FILTER(A2:A,ISERROR(VLOOKUP('Roster'!A2:A, A2:A,1,0))))
Keep in mind that this formula was written sight-unseen. If it doesn't work as expected, consider sharing a link to a copy of your sheet (or to a sample sheet set up the same way and with enough sanitized but realistic data to illustrate the problem, along with the manually entered result you want in the range where you want it).
I ended up going a completely different route. I made a third "Under the Hood" sheet, pulled the two columns into it with queries, ran a match formula down the list and returned "" on errors, then ran a query on Hours to get the names where it had null for the match list.
I've come looking for help regarding this issue. I'm a teacher, and am trying to help my students get all their documents together for university applications. Google Sheets tell me that I'm not able to filter cells containing vertical merges, but I want to filter by the earliest application deadline (column G) so I know which student I have to chase up first, second, third, etc., without losing the rest of the data in the row.
Does anyone know a good way of doing this? I've created a sample of my spreadsheet: here.
Thanks in advance.
Try Insert > New sheet and this formula in cell A1 of the new sheet:
=query('2021'!A1:Z, "where G is not null order by G", 1)
The sorted list is for reference only. You will need to continue to do your editing in the 2021 sheet.
I would split the data between a couple of sheets.
In the first sheet you'd have important data that can be seen at a glance and filtered easily, like student names, universities and deadlines.
In the second sheet (which you can link by student name or id) you can put extra info like necessary documents, urls etc - something like this.
Alternatively keep all the info in one sheet but don't use split columns or rows - it isn't conducive for sorting, filtering and viewing data (and what's the point of data if you can't analyse it?)
Have used this forum to help solve a few spreadsheet issues in the past (so many thank for all the donated time and expertise).
Hoping the community can help with something that thought initially to be quite simple but I can't find the answer or solution anywhere.
I have a list of values and I want to create a frequency distribution list from this. I don't want to collect the data into ranges (i.e. histogram style) but I do need to know exactly how many instances there are of each value. Values in spreadsheet example below.
https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/10gkP4DLA_k8yrbVdNEFmrDwKrg-B_t6BUkAmPNE2CpQ/edit#gid=0
I don't need the data presented in a graph but if a graph is the easiest way to collate this then that's fine as I will need to routinely do this calculation.
Many thanks.

A 'group by' query should do this:
=query(B3:B,"select B,count(B) where B is not null group by B label B 'Value'")
I'm trying to create a formula that uses a dynamic range to link to the different tabs. It would then return the last 12 values before a blank cell, based on the value in the Header Column.
The tricky part is the data in each tab is of different sizes, so I thought it might have to incorporate either Offset(Blank()),0,-12) or something of the sort. I've tried a lot of different things, and this is the latest effort:
=Index(Indirect(A2&"!A9:AK9"),match("Conversions",Indirect(A2&"!A9:AK9"),)0,-12)
Edit: First post, sorry for the confusion. My goal is to make a large dashboard that has a dynamic chart using our monthly metrics. (I'm leaving the chart setup for another day)
The data varies in such, some have columns A:K, while some have a larger range of A:AK , etc. (With A:A being text). Since I've posted this, I have had some success by using Filter(), but the problem I'm not sure how to solve is finding the last 12 values before a blank cell.

Hopefully this helps explain the situation and I appreciate everyone for help.
I have a spreadsheet that has summary information for individuals by month, and I want to sum the information for all participants, but I need to break it down conditionally by year. The big issue is that the information is not all stacked on top of each other in two columns(month & info), they are broken up by person with titles in between, so I have to use multiple ranges.
For example, my code now looks something like this:
=sumif([A2:A6,A9:A17,A19:A25], "<13", [D2:D6,D9:D17,D19:D25])
Except I am doing this with hundreds of ranges. The brackets are not working and I am not sure how to use an Array. I would really appreciate someones help on this, as I have been racking my brain for awhile now.
Maybe:
=sumif(A:A,"<13",D:D)
or, if there are values in row26 or below and in row1 to be excluded:
=sumif(A2:A25,"<13",D2:D25)
If I got you right, the following would work:
=sum(filter(D2:D25,ISNUMBER(A2:A25),A2:A25 >13))
The idea:
Filter for rows that are numeric (you said the content in between are titles!?) and meet your requirement (>13).
Sum it up! (By the right column)
