What I'm attempting to do is simplify this formula in order to get TRUE in a single cell.
=OR(B2>=5,B3>=5,B4>=5,B5>=5)
This is what i did so far.
=ArrayFormula(SUM((B2:B5*1>=5)*1))>0
Can this formula be simplied further and still get TRUE in a single cell when one of Loot values is >= 5?
COUNTIFS() may give you desired result. Try-
=COUNTIFS(B2:B5,">=5")>0
Select the entire range B2:B5 and check if it's greater than 5 using >=. >= operator supports arrays. OR merges the values to a single cell.
=ARRAYFORMULA(OR(B2:B5>=5))
AND can be used in a similar way.

I have managed to make this formula:
=IF(COUNTIF($A$1:A1,A1)=$B$1,A1+1,A1)
Is making an incremental list in the same column, starting with 01, and on cell B1 I am instructing how many times this number should repeat (up to 5 times per number). So, if I say repeat 2 times it looks like this:
Column A
1
1
2
2
How can I make it an Array Formula? I'm barely starting on Arrays so I'm just trying to learn as I go.
you can try to solve this with the following formula =ArrayFormula(flatten(if(SEQUENCE(1,C1),SEQUENCE(C2)))) but you should specify the value limit in cell C2 to which the numbers must increase, otherwise the formula will loop
Try this
=ARRAY_CONSTRAIN(arrayformula(query(flatten(split(rept("|"&A2:A,B2:B),"|")),"select * where Col1 is not null")),SUM(B2:B),1)

Try Sequence() with ROUNDUP() function.
=ArrayFormula(ROUNDUP(SEQUENCE(B1*B1)/B1,0))

So what i need is quite simple, yet somehow i cant get around to find a solution for it.
Basically what i need is for a column, starting from its 2nd row to look list numbers from 1 to 15 and have that sequence repeated all the way to the bottom of the sheet automatically. i was thinking about using arrayformula but couldnt figure out the formula for it.
essentially something like this but it goes all the way down automatically.
Explanation:
You can repeat (REPT) a sequence of numbers from 1 to 15 by using the Sequence formula.
The maximum number of times you want to repeat this sequence will be determined by the total number of rows in your sheet divided by 15.
Solution:
=transpose(split(REPT(concat(JOIN(",",SEQUENCE(1,15)),","),ROUNDDOWN(ROWS(A1:A)/15)),",",true))
Output:
non-REPT solution:
=INDEX(ARRAY_CONSTRAIN(FLATTEN(
SEQUENCE(ROUNDUP(ROWS(A:A)/15), 15)-(
SEQUENCE(ROUNDUP(ROWS(A:A)/15), 1, 0)*15)), ROWS(A:A)-ROW()+1, 1))
I got into a bit of problem. I have data like this
Date Repeat
7-Oct-2018 1
8-Oct-2018 1
9-Oct-2018 2
10-Oct-2018 2
11-Oct-2018 3
12-Oct-2018 2
13-Oct-2018 1
Now the result i want is a column where the date is repeated as per the repeat numbers, like this.
Result
7-Oct-2018
8-Oct-2018
9-Oct-2018
9-Oct-2018
10-Oct-2018
10-Oct-2018
11-Oct-2018
11-Oct-2018
11-Oct-2018
12-Oct-2018
12-Oct-2018
13-Oct-2018
So how can i get this result. Please do help
I tried to think of it for own study. For example, how about this sample formula? I think that there might be simpler formulas. So please think of this as one of them. When you use this, please put the following formula to a cell.
=TRANSPOSE(SPLIT(JOIN(",",ARRAYFORMULA(REPT(A2:A8&",",B2:B8))),","))
This formula supposes that the values of Date and Repeat are put in A2:A8 and B2:B8, respectively.
Show repeatedly Date using REPT(). At this time, , is used as a delimiter.
Join each cell with , using JOIN().
Split the cell with , using SPLIT().
Transpose the cells using TRANSPOSE().
I think that you can also use CONCATENATE() and TEXTJOIN() for joining cells.

I'm trying to count bus headways --the number of minutes between bus arrivals--in Google Sheets. The arrivals are written as 0:00, 1:00,2:00, etc... I want to count the number of instances of zero-minute buses, one-minute buses, etc..
When I try this =countif(range,"0:00"), I get "0:00" as an answer. What am I doing wrong?
Change the formatting of the range to text and then try
=countif(range, "*:00")
Maybe try using a Pivot Table:
One option is to use a helper column along with ISNUMBER and SEARCH.
Let's say your data is in A1:A3. In B1, you could put =ARRAYFORMULA(IF(ISNUMBER(SEARCH(":",A1:A))=TRUE,1,"")).
That searches for ":" in column A. If the statement evaluates to TRUE then a 1 is placed in the corresponding row. If it evaluates to FALSE then nothing "" is entered.
Then in C1 you could put =SUM(B1:B).
I am trying to generate a random Cell from specific range:
I need to each cell Row to generate a random selection from a a specific column (range)
below is a picture of my set up and my failed attempts:
You can do this like this:
Add a random number next to your data set using =RAND(). I've used column B, but you can put it wherever you like.
Add this formula to cells C2 to H2
=INDEX($A$2:$A$21,RANK.EQ(INDEX($B$2:$B$21,COLUMN()-2),$B$2:$B$21))
How it works:
RAND() returns a random number in the range [0..1) This is used as a random sort order for your data
Breaking down the formula:
COLUMN()-2 returns a sequential number 1..6 for columns C to H
INDEX($B$2:$B$21, ... ) returns the 1st to 6th number from the random number list
RANK.EQ( ... ,$B$2:$B$21) returns the position of the random number in the sorted random number list, 1..20.
=INDEX($A$2:$A$21, ... ) returns an item from your data set, based on the random rank from above.
Note: This will return a new randon sample each time Excel recalculates.
The only way to make a random selection that does not repeat is to make an array of integers, than randomize it, and than take out one by one.
For example you start with:
1 2 3 4 5 6 7
you randomize it (swap elements randomly)
2 4 5 1 7 3 6
than you take elements out one by one. (keep an index of how much elements you used in some cell)
Ok here is one trick, add another column with random numbers, than select both random column and range column and click the sort button (picture is from libreoffice but there is a similar button in excel) This will randomize your range column. Than you simply assign values to "w-1" : "w-6" like this =B2, =B3, =B4, =B5, =B6, =B7
I tried this and it works like you wanted, the only problem is it will shuffle values in your range column.
