Currently, I have a worksheet in Google Sheets that uses the formula:
=query('Form Responses 1'!A2:AC,"Select A,B,D,L,M,N,O,P Where L is not null")
This selects the columns A,B,D,L,M,N,O,P Where L is not null but if L is null, I want to select the columns A,B,D,Y,Z,AA,AB,AC instead.
So far, I've tried both of the following:
=query('Form Responses 1'!A2:AC,"Select A,B,D,L,M,N,O,P Where L is not null" AND "Select A,B,D,Y,Z,AA,AB,AC Where Y is not null")
=query('Form Responses 1'!A2:AC,"Select A,B,D,L,M,N,O,P Where L is not null" OR "Select A,B,D,Y,Z,AA,AB,AC Where Y is not null")
Answer
The following formula should produce the result you desire:
=ARRAYFORMULA(IF(ISBLANK(L2:L),{A2:A,B2:B,D2:D,Y2:Y,Z2:Z,AA2:AA,AB2:AB,AC2:AC},{A2:A,B2:B,D2:D,L2:L,M2:M,N2:N,O2:O,P2:P}))
Explanation
First, the =ISBLANK function is used to check whether the value of column L is empty or not. This creates an array of boolean values which are fed into the =IF function. Depending on the result of =ISBLANK one of two possible sets of columns are selected.
Everything is contained within =ARRAYFORMULA so that it functions properly across many rows.
Functions used:
=ISBLANK
=IF
=ARRAYFORMULA

How can I combine 2 spreadsheets into one without any gaps? When I import range 2 sheets, there is a gap of ~1000 rows. To make sure there are no gaps between the 2 sheets, I usually create a query "Where Col1 is not null " but I am missing some info. :(
My spreadsheet: https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1aSnbySwNPEvkkXqw6ItuBpZ_6-o58HPlVicIHWD0Y4I/edit#gid=381064131
Thanks in advance.
You can use just being three columns:
=query({
importrange("https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1aSnbySwNPEvkkXqw6ItuBpZ_6-o58HPlVicIHWD0Y4I/edit#gid=0", "Sheet1!A2:C");
IMPORTRANGE("https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1aSnbySwNPEvkkXqw6ItuBpZ_6-o58HPlVicIHWD0Y4I/edit#gid=0", "Sheet2!A2:C")}, "Select * WHERE Col1 IS NOT NULL OR Col2 is not null OR Col3 is not null")
A second possible scenario for avoiding empty rows, no matter how many columns you have is wrapping your range or query in LAMBDA, and use FILTER associated with BYROW and COUNTA. If there are no elements in any row, then the count will be 0 and it will be filtered out:
=LAMBDA(quer,FILTER(quer, BYROW (quer, LAMBDA (each,COUNTA(each)))))({
importrange("https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1aSnbySwNPEvkkXqw6ItuBpZ_6-o58HPlVicIHWD0Y4I/edit#gid=0", "Sheet1!A2:C");
IMPORTRANGE("https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1aSnbySwNPEvkkXqw6ItuBpZ_6-o58HPlVicIHWD0Y4I/edit#gid=0", "Sheet2!A2:C")})
Both solutions return:
=QUERY(IMPORTRANGE(some_range);"
SELECT Col2,dateDiff(Col20,now())
WHERE Col20 IS NOT NULL AND dateDiff(Col20,now()) <= 30
ORDER BY Col2 ASC
LABEL Col2 'SANITARNA'
";0)
So, i have this query formula which works perfectly for a column that has only dates. However i need to apply it to a column where there are dates and some text values. The problem is when i change the dateDiff column i get an error "Unable to parse query string for Function QUERY parameter 2: Can't perform the function 'dateDiff' on values that are not a Date or a DateTime values" which makes sense. However, i cant seem to figure out how to incorporate a filter within the dateDiff function to just skip the text values and only output the ones that have dates. My best guess so far is that the filter has to be applied within the dateDiff function in SELECT and not WHERE. I've tried a filter/isnumber formula but get parse error and my brain is fried and can't see the problem.
Test sheet: https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1thpXBSp-Vt1E5MGaM89Xko6GvekjmzyidO94Sil2AjQ/edit?usp=sharing
See my newly added sheet ("Erik Help"), which contains the following version of your original formula:
=QUERY(FILTER(A:C,ISNUMBER(C:C))," SELECT Col1,dateDiff(Col3,now()) WHERE Col2 IS NOT NULL AND dateDiff(Col3,now()) <= 30 ORDER BY Col1 ASC LABEL Col1 'PRIJAVA DO' ",0)
FILTER will first filter in only those rows where the value in Col C is a number. And since all dates are numbers as far as Google Sheets is concerned, that will be only your rows with dates in Col C.
NOTE: You currently have no date values in Col C that are less than or equal to 30 days from TODAY() — that is, all of your Col-C dates are in the future — so your table is returning empty (yet without error, because it is working). Because QUERY is acting on a FILTER of the original data and not on the original data itself, all QUERY column references must be in Colx notation, not A-B-C notation.
The solution Erik Tyler provided works, ill just add here the syntax for the importrange as well for anyone with similar problem.
=QUERY(FILTER(
IMPORTRANGE("some_range";"some_sheets!A:QQ");
ISNUMBER(
IMPORTRANGE("some_range";"some_sheets!C:C")));"
SELECT Col2,dateDiff(Col20,now())
WHERE Col20 IS NOT NULL AND dateDiff(Col20,now()) <= 30
ORDER BY Col2 ASC
LABEL Col2 'SANITARNA'
";0)
I'm pretty new with ArrayFormula, have been trying but sometime the formula works, sometimes does not. What I'm trying to do is the combination of ArrayFormula, Countif for searching partial text.
As shown in the worksheet below, there are 10 subjects (column A), each subject has at least one of 4 samples (A,B,C,D) summarized as a string (column B). What I'm trying to do is to find which subject has sample A or B or C or D.
I have tried single formula for each sample, eg cell D3
=IF(COUNTIF($B3,"*"&$D$2&"*")>0,$A3,"")
it returns the correct results. However, when I try arrayformula in cell I3,
=arrayformula(IF(COUNTIF($B3:B,"*"&$D$2&"*")>0,$A3:A,""))
The answers are weird. For example: Subjects (Gamma, Zeta, Eta, Theta) who don't have the sample "A" are shown to have sample "A". And this applies to sample B,C,D too
Not sure what went wrong in here. Here is the link to the worksheet
I wouldn't use Countifs or an array formula. Use filter instead. Put this formula in cell i3.
=Filter(if(REGEXMATCH(B3:B,$D$2),A3:A,""),B3:B<>"")
try:
=INDEX(QUERY(IFERROR(TRIM(SPLIT(FLATTEN(IF(IFERROR(SPLIT(B3:B, ","))="",,
SPLIT(B3:B, ",")&"×"&A3:A)), "×"))),
"select max(Col2) where Col2 is not null group by Col2 pivot Col1"))
or use in row 2 if you want to sort it as in your example:
=INDEX(IFNA(VLOOKUP(A2:A, QUERY(IFERROR(TRIM(SPLIT(FLATTEN(
IF(IFERROR(SPLIT(B3:B, ","))="",,SPLIT(B3:B, ",")&"×"&A3:A)), "×"))),
"select Col2,max(Col2) where Col2 is not null group by Col2
pivot Col1 label Col2'Subjects'"), {2,3,4,5}, 0)))
You can accomplish all four columns of results with a single formula.
Delete all formulas from I3:L3.
Place the following formula into I3:
=ArrayFormula(IF(REGEXMATCH(B3:B,I2:L2),A3:A,))
In plain speech, this read "If anything in B3:B matches a value found in I2:L2, return A3:A in the matching columns(s) at the matching row(s); if not, return null."
I have 2 tables resulting from the query formulas
formula1
=query(BuchungSystem!A2:AZ,"Select C, F, H, I, J, K, L where Q = "& $B$10)
formula2
=arrayformula({{"MWST ",""}} & QUERY(query(BuchungSystem!A2:AZ,"Select M, N, L where Q = "& $B$10),"SELECT Col1*100, SUM(Col2) GROUP BY Col1, Col3 LABEL SUM(Col2) '' , Col1*100 ''"))
and the result is shown as below
I need to combine 2 ranges since the number of rows in table1 keeps changing and so in table2. Since both are query formulas, they would not expand if the underlying cells have data. To avoid such issues, I am thinking both tables can be joined together with 2 empty lines between tables.
I have tried to join the query result ranges using {formula1;formula2} but it gives me an error since both tables have differing columns. How can I merge the tables one below other?
Mind sharing an example sheet? Here is a quick example of how to include empty columns to make the ranges equal in column size.
={{QUERY(G1:K4,"SELECT G,H,I,J,K")};{"","","","",SUM(QUERY(G1:K4,"SELECT G,H,I,J,K"))}}
If you use 6 columns in one range and only 2 in the next, then you need 4 empty columns in the second {} so their sizes remain the same.
This might be something fairly simple but struggling to find a way to do it.
In Column B, I have a list of foods required.
In Column C, I have the amount needed.
In Column D, I have g (for grams) ml (for mills) etc.
I would like to combine the duplicates in Column B and update the totals from Column C, with the g or ml in Column D beside it.
The list I have has been created by using an array formula based on dropdowns in another sheet.
I have seen people using UNIQUE formula in 1 column (this works) and then a SUMIF formula in another column and then a JOIN formula in another... I tried this but the SUMIF is always returning 0.
Would someone please be able to advise on how I can do this?
TIA :D
It's hard to be sure exactly what you need without seeing the data. But based on my understanding of solely what you've posted, this QUERY formula should generate a condensed mini-report:
=QUERY({B2:D},"Select Col1, SUM(Col2), Col3 WHERE Col1 Is Not Null GROUP BY Col1, Col3 LABEL SUM(Col2) ''")
In plain English, this means "Arrange the data from the range B2:D in the same order as the raw data, but sum the second column's data according to matches in both the first and third columns. Only return results for the raw data where the first column is not blank. Replace the default 'sum' header on the second column with nothing; I don't need it."
This formula assumes that every ingredient will always be attached to the same measurement (e.g., 'salt' in Col B is always paired with 'mg' in Col D, etc.). If this is not the case, you will wind up with ingredients being listed as many times as there are different measures in Col D.
