Repeated rows maybe easy to filter but is there to remove repeated INVERTED rows from different columns in google sheets. Maybe it is easy but I've not had much luck so far with "unique" or "filter". The attached image should show what I'm looking to accomplish. Unique alone doesn't work because the second column (I)includes names from (H). So sheets looks at both columns as unique and returns them all. But this is like wanting to remove repeated first and last names, where the names might be inverted.
On the right is the result I'd like to achieve. Leaving only ONE match that would include the numeric values.
Appreciate any feedback. Thanks. 🙏
Get row number MATCH Name1 in Name2 Col. Get row number MATCH Name2 in Name1 Col. See if they are equal and whether the first MATCH is greater than or equal to the current row number.
=FILTER(A2:B7,IFNA(XMATCH(A2:A7,B2:B7)>=ROW(A2:A7)*(XMATCH(A2:A7,B2:B7)=XMATCH(B2:B7,A2:A7)),1))
Name1
Name2
Results
John
Doe
John

Dan
Doe
John
Another method would be to SORT BYROW and UNIQUE

=COUNTIF(B4:B, "" & D4:D & "")
So column B4:B will have something like this
Joe Smith, STIM
and column D4:D would have something like this
Joe Smith 10/19/1999 AC
I am trying to make a True False statment in Col G that if column B has Joe Smith and Column D has Joe smith it will say yes or no. This will be a list of names that always change dynamically so one day B4 might be Joe Smith but the next day it could be Jan Doe. Column D will be a list of names in alpha order that changes all the time as well.
I was able to replicate what you need with the example provided by using:
=ArrayFormula(IF(D:D="",,REGEXMATCH(LOWER(D:D),FILTER(LOWER(I:I),I:I<>"")&"\b")))
You can see the results in my testing spreadsheet here.
At the moment I have limited the range from column I but you can just change it so it takes the whole column.
Just one little detail is that with this function you can only have 1 name in each row in the list of names.
I have a table with names of performers and the activities they performed in which cities. Now, I am trying to find out who all performed in which city using filter formula - Check C15 in below sheet.
https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/19U0vjtABXQ-MltxZoW7v0vjt1L6gM2Lc2VP3Z-BuKwE/edit?usp=sharing
The formula I am trying to use is:
=join(", ",transpose(iferror(filter(A2:A11,REGEXMATCH(C2:G11,"Chicago")))))
If I change G11 to C11 in above formula, I can see some output which is incorrect.
(a) I want the names of performers who performed in Chicago from columns C all the way to G.
(b) Even if I keep it as C11, it gives the name of only the first performer.. and not all those who performed in Chicago in column C
For just Chicago, the output should be:
Nils, Tom in F15
Nils, Tom, Jack, Amanda, Sam in C15
Any help will be greatly appreciated.
=join(", ",transpose(iferror(filter(A2:A11,REGEXMATCH(B2:B11,"Chicago")))))
works for me and I get Nils,Tom in F15.
One way of getting the matches in all columns is to get the row totals like this, and where they aren't zero to join the values in the first column:
=ArrayFormula(textjoin(",",true,if(mmult(n(regexmatch(B$2:G$11,A15)),transpose(column(B:G))),A$2:A$11,)))
You could use something like this:
=join(", ",transpose(filter(A2:A11,REGEXMATCH(C2:C11&D2:D11&E2:E11&F2:F11&G2:G11,"Chicago"))))
Good Evening and thanks in advance for taking the time to read and help.
I have a 3 column excel file which I am trying to populate the 3rd column with a return value found next to the row its found in.
so for example I want to look at column MANAGERSFULLNAME for value
Cheryl Rommelfanger and find the match in column FULLNAME. Once the match is found I want to populate MANAGERSX2FULLNAME but not with the value found in FULLNAME but with the value next to in column MANAGERSFULLNAME
So for this example we look in MANAGERSFULLNAME for Cheryl Rommelfanger and find the match in FULLNAME Cheryl Rommelfanger then populate MANAGERSX2FULLNAME with
William Dearth
FULLNAME MANAGERSFULLNAME MANAGERSX2FULLNAME
Dena Peters Cheryl Rommelfanger
Kyle Marsh Melissa Hall
Cheryl Rommelfanger William Dearth
ive tried a few things and can only get a count not the value next to it.
=MATCH($E2&$F2,INDEX($B2:B4000&$C2:C4000,),)
=IF(ISERROR(MATCH(E2,F2,$B$2:B$4000,$C$2:C$4000,0)),"",E2)
=IF(ISERROR(MATCH(L2,$K$2:K$4000,0)),"",L20)
any help would be greatly appreciated.
So I apologize but I am having a bit of trouble understanding your columns, but the general idea is clear.
Your attempts are really close. You want to use index(match) as opposed to match(index). The link below describes how to do this.
Index match formula
If I'm understanding you correctly it sounds like you're trying to find and list the bosses boss so-to-speak to display a hierarchy of sorts. I'm using just columns A, B, and C (C being the managerx2fullname) this formula should work fine:
=index(B$2:B$4000,match(B2,A$2:A$4000,0))
You will of course need to change the columns to fit your needs. Don't include a dollar sign in B2 because you want this to increment as you drag the formula down the column. The link below shows a screen shot from my test. In it we see that in row 2 John is Adams boss, who in turn is Joe's boss. I think that's what you're shooting for here.

I have been searching and searching and I've tried a dozen different things, and the array formula that added 50,000 rows to my sheet (I didn't even know that was possible...) and crashed my browser was the final straw. So I'm asking for help...
Basically, I have a static list of names in sheet1(Grades) that are sorted alphabetically. I have an importrange in sheet2(Data) with another list of names, not sorted alphabetically (And it cannot be sorted alphabetically.) Something like this:
Grades:
Bill
Charlie
Fred
George
Percy
Ron
and
Data:
Ron
Bill
Fred
Percy
Harry
Hermione
Molly
Arthur
What I need is to imput a formula in the cell below the last name on sheet1(Grades) that checks all of the names above that cell, compares them to the names on sheet2(Data), and returns the first name that's missing. For example:
Grades:
Bill
Charlie
Fred
George
Percy
Ron
(Formula Here) = Harry
(Formula Here) = Hermione
Etc.
The New names should always be at the bottom of the Data list, if that help any.
Here's a link to a copy of the spreadsheet.
Hope I got the permissions correct... Most of it was protected, but I think it should be open for edits now. Any help would be much appreciated. I really didn't think I was trying to do something that difficult, lol.
So I take it you want basically the difference between two lists. I've put this formula in the cell below the last entry in column B in Grades, hope this is what you want:
=filter(Data!A1:A40, iserror(match(Data!A1:A40, B5:B45, 0)))
Hi have something how this.
COLUMN_NAME
------------
NAME1
NAME2
NAME3
NAME1
NAME1
NAME4
NAME2
I want to get the most repeated value from this colum, on this case, NAME4, any can help me? I tried some query functions but I dont understand the correct logic for this :S
First of all, if I'm not mistaken in the above example the most repeated text is "NAME1", since it occurs 3 times.
I'm sure that there is a better solution for the problem, but I only figured out this:
=index(query(A1:B8,"select A,count(B) where B ='' group by A order by count(B) desc",1),2,1)
NOTE: The quotes after B ='' are two simple quotes, not double quotes!! At that point we are comparing the B column with the empty string.
Supposing that:
The raw data should be in A2:A8 cells (NAME1, NAME2, NAME3, ...)
There is an "extra" column we use, next to A (column B). All cells should be empty.
The above formula first runs a query (see the QUERY function inside) in which we count the occurences of each text and we are ordering by the count number in descending order. We will get something like this:
Column_name count
NAME1 3
NAME2 2
NAME3 1
NAME4 1
Then - with the index function - we get the cell value which is in the 2nd row and 1st column of the result of the query. This will be always good, because we always sort (=order by) the query results in descending order. So the most repeated text will always be in that position.
So it's a workaround, not that pretty, but works.
Hope it helped anyway.
