Google Sheets Formula to validate for row wise entries dynamically - google-sheets

I am having a table in a requirement document which has mandatory columns to be filled
If any of the mandatory entries is missed the validation for the whole range should say not ok.
For Example if A2 is not filled and C2, D2 and E2 are filled the validation should say not ok.
I tried Array formula and ifs to check for all combinations across the range, but its to overwhelming.
Any easy way to do this, please suggest.

Try:
=If(and(ARRAYFORMULA (A2:F2 <> "")),"It's OK,"It's not OK")
If you need it to be for the whole range no matter the row, change A2:F2 with the whole range
Or, if you need the whole range by row (use your range instead of A2:F6):
=BYROW(A2:F6,lambda(each,If(and(ARRAYFORMULA (each <> "")),"It's OK,"It's not OK")))

Google Sheets: Find a Row that Matches Only a Few Specific Characteristics

I can't seem to find the right equation to find a cell from a row that matches only a few specific characteristics. In this example, I am trying to find the equation for Column D which would be the cell in A that has the same cells for B & C.
Hope this makes sense!
I'll provide two options.
If you're sure your data will only ever have zero or one match, you can place the following formula into D2 of an otherwise empty range D2:D...
=ArrayFormula(IF(A2:A="",,SUBSTITUTE(VLOOKUP(B2:B&C2:C,{B2:B&C2:C,A2:A},2,FALSE)&VLOOKUP(B2:B&C2:C,SORT({B2:B&C2:C,A2:A,ROW(A2:A)},3,0),2,FALSE),A2:A,"")))
However, if you think more than one match may turn up and you want "None" to be returned if there is no match, you can use the following formula in D2 or an otherwise empty range D2:D...
=ArrayFormula(IF(A2:A="",,REGEXREPLACE(REGEXEXTRACT(REGEXREPLACE(SUBSTITUTE(VLOOKUP(B2:B&C2:C,TRIM(SPLIT(FLATTEN(QUERY(QUERY({B2:B&C2:C&"~",A2:A&","}, "Select MAX(Col2) where Col2 IS NOT NULL GROUP BY Col2 PIVOT Col1"),, 9^9)),"~")),2,FALSE),A2:A,""),"^[,\s]+$","None"),"([^,\s].+[^,\s])[,\s]*$"),"[,\s]+",", ")))
The second formula will work even if there will only ever be zero or one match; it's just not necessary to have it be that lengthy. And the second formula is only as lengthy because it was unclear from your posted examples whether the data in Col A, B and C will really only ever be one word or not; so the formula is built to assume there will not always be one-word strings in those columns.
Either formula will provide results for the entire column without dragging.
Here's an option, You can use this formula in column D2:
=iferror(textjoin(", ",true,query($A$2:$C,"Select A where A is not null and A != '"&$A2&"' and B = '"&$B2&"' and C = '"&$C2&"'",0)),"None")
Limitation:
You need to manually drag the formula to its succeeding rows. Arrayformula() cannot be used in looping the query string values.
What it does?
Using query(), filter the data from A2:C that has the same current row last name(Column B) and food(Column C) at the same time having a different first name(Column A)
If there are multiple results, use textjoin() to combine them with ", " as its delimiter.
If there is no matched found, it will return an error, hence use iferror() to set the default value to "None"
Output

Google sheets: inter-sheet formula seems to ignore MATCH criteria... (Copy data from one sheet to another using 1 Match criteria)

I have a Google spreadsheet with 5 tabs (sheets) and I want to copy rows of data from one sheet to another, IF a criteria matches in one of the sheet.
Sheet1 has hundreds of rows of data, across numerous columns. One of the columns lists dates. That column is mostly set to Date format. That date col also uses various Conditional Formatting rules. (I cannot change these or the formatting of this column!).
In sheet5 I have a formula that is supposed to look at sheet1 and find all the rows with a certain date in the date col and then copy the data in that row to a row in sheet5.
It looks like this: =INDEX(sheet1!$A1:$O2002,MATCH($B$1,sheet1!$Q:$Q,0),0)
It kind of works... if I just paste the formula in one cell in sheet5, it finds a row matching the date criteria and copies data over. But if I want to query more of sheet1, by dragging the cell down and find more rows of data to copy over... it just copies all the rows from sheet1 after the initial find... completely ignoring what it's comparing in $B$1 to $Q:$Q... I suspect that what I think it's comparing in MATCH($B$1,sheet1!$Q:$Q,0) may not be what's actually happening, hence the result not matching my expectations...
Here is a screen capture of the sheet I want to copy data from: This sheet is set up and controlled by another party. I CANNOT change data; I CANNOT change data format that is already entered (eg I can't change a col set to Date to Plain Text!) See red notes.
But I can convert Dates in col N to Plain Text in col Q. Column Q is what I am querying/comparing in the formula in the destination sheet (see second screen capture below)
Sheet1 capture: data to copy, criteria date col
In sheet5 I have this formula that queries sheet1:
=INDEX(sheet1!$A1:$O2002,MATCH($B$1,sheet1!$Q:$Q,0),0)
Here is a screenshot of what that formula produces in sheet5
Sheet5 capture: result of using formula
Notice, it kind of works...(when I just paste the formula into my starting cell... it found the one line with the criteria I set) but then if I drag B3 down to query sheet1 more... it just grabs everything, even if $Q:$Q doesn't match the criteria set in B1...
Why?
Any help or clarifying questions are appreciated. Thanks
when dragging you did not lock the rows with $
your formula:
=INDEX(Sheet1!$A1:$Q100, MATCH($B$1, Sheet1!$Q:$Q, 0), 0)
should be:
=INDEX(Sheet1!A$1:Q$100, MATCH($B$1, Sheet1!Q:Q, 0))
coz with your initial formula you just created sort of a "sliding range" by every drag-down. to understand the formula... you are indexing range A1:A100 (from row 1 to row 100) where you narrow it down to just 13th row (MATCH outputs row 13 coz there is the match found. next you drag down and indexing range changes to A2:A101 but the MATCH formula always outputs 13 so 13th row from range A2:A101 is row 14, etc.
anyway, use this in Sheet5!B3 after you delete everything in B3:B range:
=FILTER(Sheet1!A:P, Sheet1!N:N*1=B1*1)

Why can INDEX(...,COUNTA(...),..) find the last value of one array, but not another?

I'm learning basic =ARRAYFORMULA usage for a finance spreadsheet:
https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/12cAGuUBzIo0LPbmtqWJZNFgjt94f1ybGoj6x2g0c2Y0/edit?usp=sharing
First, I used =GOOGLEFINANCE at B1 to pull up stock prices for a given date range in Column C
=GOOGLEFINANCE(A1,"price",DATE(2020,1,1),DATE(2020,5,30),"DAILY")
Then, I used simple arithmetic to multiply by number of shares at D2 and dragged the formulas down to get a nice column of values
=C2*20
Then, I used INDEX and COUNTA to pull out the last value of Column D at F3 === Great!
=INDEX(AAPL!D2:D,COUNTA(AAPL!D2:D),1)
Next, I turned my arithmetic formula into an ARRAYFORMULA at G2 === Cool!
=ARRAYFORMULA(C2:C103*20)
Of course, the problem with that ARRAYFORMULA is that I would have to manually change the array name in G2 every time the date range updated.
That is, instead of C2:C103, I would need to change the reference to C2:104 to get the columns to match === Rookie mistake!!!!!
So, I got smart with an ARRAYFORMULA containing a IF(ISBLANK(),...,...) at J2
=ARRAYFORMULA(IF(ISBLANK(B2:B),"",C2:C*20))
Column J stays fully populated with the correct values for any date range === !!!!!!!
But now the =INDEX(AAPL!J2:J,COUNTA(AAPL!J2:J),1) at L3 can't find the last value in Column J
Whaaat???
I've tried everything I can think of
It works if I use =INDEX(AAPL!J2:J104,COUNTA(AAPL!J2:J104),1) but that would defeat the purpose, since the reference J:J104 is going to change as the dates change
WHY???
I get the same results in both cells "L3" and "L5" when using:
=ARRAYFORMULA(IF(ISBLANK(B2:B),,C2:C*20))
Check that you are not returning a blank string ("") in your IF like: "=ARRAYFORMULA(IF(ISBLANK(B2:B),"",C2:C*20))" doing so will fill the cells up to the last row in the sheet with empty strings, thus when you use COUNTA(AAPL!J2:J),1) you get a lot more cells than you would expect, these extra cells are the ones you filled with blank strings in the array formula.
On the contrary when you limit the =INDEX(AAPL!J2:J104,COUNTA(AAPL!J2:J104),1) to cells with numbers only it doesn't mix strings and numbers in the calculation and you are naturally get the expected results.

Is there a way to use an array formula to keep my formula (to add specific columns) when rows are inserted?

I'm setting up a spreadsheet that has specific columns summed in each row, but I need the formula to be included when a row is inserted.
The current formula also includes a statement to make a 0 value, if a check box is checked in the last column:
=IF(T2=FALSE, SUM(I2,K2,L2,M2,N2,O2), 0)
Is there a way I can do this using an array formula?
Here is a formula which will give a sum for columns I to O in each row, ignoring column J:
=ArrayFormula(if(I2:I="","",if(T2:T<>FALSE,0,I2:I+sumif(row(K2:O)+0*column(K2:O),row(K2:O),K2:O))))
but this assumes all rows that have data will have a number in column I.
If this isn't the case, you could go on to test columns individually like this:
=ArrayFormula(if((I2:I="")*(K2:K=""),"",if(T2:T<>FALSE,0,I2:I+sumif(row(K2:O)+0*column(K2:O),row(K2:O),K2:O))))
and so on up to column O if necessary, or maybe column T is always completed and you could test that - it depends how your data actually looks.
Note 1
row(K2:O)+0*column(K2:O)
is necessary to generate an array which is has the same dimensions as K2:O as required by SUMIF.
Note 2
There's also the MMULT approach to getting the row sums as demonstrated here
={"AAA"; ARRAYFORMULA(IF(LEN(T2:T), IF(T2:T=FALSE, I2:I+K2:K+L2:L+M2:M+N2:N+O2:O, 0), ))}

Google spreadsheet Multiple result with VLOOK UP

The VLOOKUP formulas which works individually are
=if(VLOOKUP(E2,DB!$C:$E,1,0)>0,"COMPLETED",)
=if(VLOOKUP(E2,DB!$F:$H,1,0)>0,"IN PROGRESS",)
The issue is while displaying both results in a single cell, the formula which I came up for this was
C2=if(AND(VLOOKUP(E4,DB!$C:$E,1,0)>0),"COMPLETED",if(VLOOKUP(E4,DB!$F:$H,1,0)>0,"IN PROGRESS","UNDEFINED"))
I have tested the formula with normal conditions other than VLOOKUP and it works without any issues, not sure what's wrong with it.
Example : C10=if(AND(E10=1),"ONE",if(E10=2,"TWO","NO DATA"))
Any help appreciated.
May be its something simple but I am pulling my hair out for the last 3 hours.
Thanks :)

Updated 03.05.2016
Sorry for the comments that I have posted as I am new at using Stack overflow.
I have tried with only IF statements without any AND conditions, but the result is still same. The VLOOKUP is not returning the second value.
C15=IF(VLOOKUP(E15,DB!$F:$H,1,0)>0,"COMPLETED",if(VLOOKUP(E15,DB!$F:$H,1,0)>0,"IN PROGRESS","UNDEFINED"))
What I am expecting in cell C2 (sheet1) is check the values in cell
E2 against the columns C:H ( Sheet 2/ DB). If it belongs to
Column C:C in (sheet2/DB) then the value in C2 (sheet1) should display
as "Completed" else if the value is in column F:F ( sheet2/DB) then in C2
(sheet1) should display "In Progress".

There are a few problems with your formula.
VLOOKUP and similar functions search within a single row or column, and it seems like you're looking for your value in multiple rows and columns.
As #Meta mentioned, VLOOKUP returns N/A when the value is not found in the range, and you are expecting a zero or less value to be returned (when you check for >0 in the IF statement). Note that VLOOKUP returns the cell value itself and not an index of a match (like the MATCH function).
My suggestion is to replace your VLOOKUPs with COUNTIF.
=IF(COUNTIF(DB!$F:$H,E2)>0,"COMPLETED",IF(COUNTIF(DB!$C:$D,E2)>0,"IN PROGRESS","UNDEFINED"))
COUNTIF counts in multiple rows and columns, and will return a zero if no matches are found.
