Counting empty cells in Google Sheet - google-sheets

I have a Google sheet like this: spreadsheet and I am trying to figure out if in column O it is possible to check if there is a value in a cell and then count all empty cells before it in the row? So for example O2 should say 3 and O3 should 5.
I have been trying using =COUNTBLANK for the row, but can't figure out a way to only count backwards from the first value (marked in yellow on the screenshot).

Another solution (in O2)
=BYROW(A2:N,LAMBDA(r,IFERROR(1/COUNTBLANK(
FILTER(r,COLUMN(r)<MIN(IF(r<>"",COLUMN(r)))))^-1)))

Try this in 02 (delete any values below it because it will expand):
=byrow(map(B2:N,lambda(n,if(ISBLANK(n),"",1))),lambda(each,IFERROR(MATCH(1,each,0)-1,"")))

Google Spreadsheet: E2-F2 even if i move the rows

I'm having an issue with google spreadsheets. I want to... have Cell C2 always contain the difference between cell E2 and F2 even if I move the row (i don't want the formula to adapt to that change of rows, the formula should still be E2-F2); so let's say E2 contains 5 and F2 contains 3, C2 would display 2. So let's say I switch row E and row F. Right now the result displayed would still be 2, and the formula in cell C2 would've changed to F2-E2. What I want is the formula not to change, and the result displayed would be -3.
=INDIRECT(E2)-INDIRECT(F2) didn't work for me - it gave me a reference error.
The INDIRECT function expects a string parameter. So you would need to write
=INDIRECT("E2")-INDIRECT("F2")
But the better way to solve your problem would be to use absolute references
=$E$2-$F$2

Index - Offset - Array Formula

I am using OFFSET function to transpose the "Question" columns to rows so every row would correspond to a Link/Question combination as shown in the 2nd table.
I can hide values in columns A & B if column C is blank but this is taking TOO MUCH space in my table (my full data consist of 11 questions, and hundreds of rows, which won't fit in my sheet if I create a row for every Question column). I need to transform my functions to an array formula that would only populate a row for every Link/non blank Question combo, so that row 9 in the image below won't show up and its formula won't exist at all. I'm using Gsheets.
1st function for column A
2nd function for column C
OFFSET($A$2,FLOOR((ROW($A1)-ROW($A$1))/2,1),0)
OFFSET($C$2,FLOOR((ROW(A1)-ROW($A$1))/2,1),MOD((ROW(A1)-ROW($A$1))/2,1)*2)
Please try in A7:
=query({query(A2:C3,"select A,B,C where C is not NULL");query(A2:D3,"select A,B,D where D is not NULL")})
As mentioned by #Annan (thank you!) the outer query is redundant.
This really IS the same as in excel.. but I can't help the " only populate a row for every Link/non blank Question combo" part. Try :
A7 =if($C7="","",index($A$2:$D$3,int((row(A7)-7)/(COLUMNS($A$2:$D$3)-2))+1,match(A$6,$A$1:$D$1,0)))
B7 =if($C7="","",index($A$2:$D$3,int((row(B7)-7)/(COLUMNS($A$2:$D$3)-2))+1,match(B$6,$A$1:$D$1,0)))
C7 =index($A$2:$D$3,int((row(C7)-7)/(COLUMNS($A$2:$D$3)-2))+1,(2+if(mod(row(C6)-5,COLUMNS($A$2:$D$3)-2)=0,COLUMNS($A$2:$D$3)-2,mod(row(C6)-5,COLUMNS($A$2:$D$3)-2))))
and drag to A10:C10.
Hope it help it'll be useful though.. :)

How do I organize formulas to work with columns in google sheets

Hi so I'm trying to make a spreadsheet in Google Sheets that takes two numbers and subtracts them and then does it in the next row .
So example the formula in C1 would be "subtract(A1, B1)" in the first row. But then in the next row I would like it to change to "subtract(A2, B2)" and output in C2.
(Without having to go in each C cell and change the formula of course)
So how do I do that and also how do I apply a formula to multiple cells of a row (C1,C2,C3,C4,C5, etc....)
Just put =MINUS(A1,B1) into C1 and then copy it and paste it in the remain rows of column C and the spreadsheet automatically adjusts the row numbers for you.
#Cooper's Answer above is perfect. I'm just giving a alternative here using array formulas, because it's easy.
Put this in D2
=ARRAYFORMULA(MINUS ( B2:B, MULTIPLY( 2.5, QUOTIENT(C2:C,15))))

Sparkline in every row with only one arrayformula google sheets

I would like to plot sparklines (barchart with the value to show in B-row and the max-value in die C-row: see linked file) in every cell from A2 to A5 using ony one arrayformula (=ARRAYFORMULA( ...) in A2 which can plot spakrlines in every cell from A2 to A5.
Link to file: sparkline arrayformula
Thx for any help,
Gerd
SPARKLINE does not work with arrayformula. I think the best you can do is put this in A2 and drag it down past A5. It will pick up new data.
=iferror(SPARKLINE(B2,{"charttype","bar";"max",C2}),"")
Hmm
Make a blank column A:A.
=ARRAYFORMULA(IF(ISBLANK($A$1:$A),"", SPARKLINE({0,1},{"color","#ddd"})))

Formula to find last value in row and label with Column Top

I'm using Google Spreadsheets. I'll be using this image from a very similar question.
http://i.imgur.com/jqcNW.png [a link]Google Spreadsheet Formula to get last value in a row
Instead of giving the value, I want the Column top to show. So the H column would look something like: 2 1 3 1 4
(The product numbers from Row 1)
If it helps =index(B2:G2;1;counta(B2:G2)) was the answer given to the original question. My values would be words instead of numbers. It'd need to track the last 'Yes' in the row with the column top being dates.
I think this should be easy:
=index($B$1:$G$1;1;counta(B2:G2)) - if you write this to the H2 cell, it should search the "N"th element in the FIRST row ($B$1:$G$1) - where N represents the value of non-empty cells in that row (B2:G2).
You can then populate this H2 formula downwards.
Let me know if this helps.
