I am making a company staff meeting attendance record form, now I want to through the function to directly get the data of staff in a specific date, but because the column of the data is not uniform, so the basic Vlookup() can not achieve this effect.
For example, I want to search the form by staff name to get the content of 1.24 (cell content contains 1.24). I would like to ask how to achieve this function and I would appreciate if u can help me. thank u!
My record form is here:
I've tried to do this by Vlookup() function but failed. It just can get the data in specific column. I want to get the data that contains specific date.
Let's say you insert your date in B19, you can erase your formulas in B20:B24 and use:
=BYROW (A20:A24, LAMBDA(each,IFNA( FILTER (INDEX(D1:Z12, MATCH(each,A1:A12,0)), REGEXMATCH(INDEX(D1:Z12, MATCH(each,A1:A12,0)),SUBSTITUTE(B19,".","\."))))))

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?)
I have a workbook with four sheets and want to make a dashboard. In the dashboard I have 4 data validation drop down lists (Part, Date, Shift, Part Number). I want when someone selects the value from the drop list to look for the data that relate to the selections. I currently have =FILTER('sheet1'!A5:FP,('sheet1'!C5:C=Dash!A6)*('sheet1'!A5:A=Dash!A4)*('sheet1'!H5:H=Dash!A8))"Sheet 1" is the name of the sheet I want the data pulled from, however because the first parameter of =FILTER is range it wont allow me to reference my data validation dropdown found in A2. Is there a way to have the filter function look at what is in A2 and give me the data from the selected sheet, and how? Thank You in advance!
I think you are looking at the indirect function in google sheets, please try:
=FILTER(
Indirect(A2&"!A1:FP"),
(Indirect(A2&"!C5:C")=Dash!A6)*(Indirect(A2&"!A5:A")=Dash!A4)*
(Indirect(A2&"!H5:H")=Dash!A8)
)
I am looking for some help with summarising subject data.
We have 550 pupils who select subjects and our system outputs the information into a Google Sheet like this https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/13rKygFBINl6nBBlHch0Gqo39iaoEYPTBfVCxoAs3QP4/edit?usp=sharing
I want the info to come out summarised, so we see the user info and the subjects they chose.
So this would mean when a cell is found to contain text along the row to reference the column heading and put this information into the second sheet under the subject 1 heading.
I have tried to show in sheet 2 called "Should look like this" so you can get an idea of what it should look like.
Is this possible in Google Sheets?
here is a copy of your sheet with the solution in cell A2 on the tab called Classes By Student.
=ARRAYFORMULA(IFERROR(SPLIT(TRANSPOSE(TRIM(QUERY(TRANSPOSE({Data!A2:E&CHAR(10),IF(Data!F2:AX="",,Data!F1:AX1&CHAR(10))}),,9^9))),CHAR(10)&" ",0,0)))
It is also possible to make a similar transformation that i've done on another tab called Students by Class.
QUERY() smush can be a powerful tool for problems like this. it consists of leveraging the query "header" argument to smush together entire columns of data all together, before splitting them back out without missing spaces.
I have a Google Sheets filled in with student names and the status of a paper form. I need to email parents to have them complete the paper form if it is missing. But every time I send this email the first question I get is Doesn't my kid already have this form completed and on file?
So I would like to create a Google form where parents can enter the name of their student and it will show whether or not there is completed paperwork.
I can find how to pre-populate forms but that's not what I want. I need it to show a response based on the information a parent enters.
that's not really how Google Form was intended to be used. (eg. it's unfortunately not possible). you will need to redo your approach... you could create a new spreadsheet in which you would use IMPORTRANGE formula and import column of names only and send this new spreadsheet to the parents. this way when they press CTRL+F to find their kiddo a cell gets highlighted or just not found.
I have a table showing the name of everyone who has received feedback and when they received the feedback, however, some people received feedback on multiple dates so I need a formula to find the most recent date and copy it across to a seperate sheet.
I have attached the google sheets below. For example, the second tab shows the name of each person in the table but I need to know the most recent date they received feedback based on the data from sheet 1.

Any help is most appreciated
Use the following formula
=maxifs(B:B,A:A,F2)
where f2 contains the name of the person you need the information. I've also edited your sheet. Note that i had to rewrite some of your dates, as they were being recognized by sheets as text, not dates.
Use this to create a list names
=UNIQUE(A1:A29)
Then as Oren just posted, this will give you the highest date, but you may need to fix your data formatting for it work.
=maxifs(B:B, A:A, D2)
