I have a master sheet that contains all of the data for other sheets. Column A in the master sheet is the name for who's sheet it will import to. So if the name is "John" then every row that has "John" in column A from the master sheet will be imported into John's sheet. I have the person's name in cell G1 of their own respective sheet and use the following formula.
=ARRAYFORMULA(IFNA(QUERY(IMPORTRANGE("LINK_TO_SHEET","Assignments!A2:Q"),"SELECT Col2,Col3,Col4,Col5,Col6,Col7,Col8,Col9,Col10,Col11,Col12,Col13 WHERE Col1='"&G1&"'",0),""))
Master sheet looks like this:
Assigned To
Name
State
City
John
Blake G.
Arizona
Phoenix
Andy
Chase C.
Arizona
Phoenix
John
Amy B.
New Mexico
Santa Fe
John
Bill S.
Texas
Austin
John's sheet will look like this:
Name
State
City
Blake G.
Arizona
Phoenix
Amy B.
New Mexico
Santa Fe
Bill
Texas
Austin
I want to separate the data based on what is in Col17 and put a single word between the two data sets. Col17 has either a Y or a N so I can just add AND Col17='N' to the existing formula. I double up the formula, but changed the last condition to be Col17='Y' so that I can pull the two data sets separately and on top of each other.
={ARRAYFORMULA(IFNA(QUERY(IMPORTRANGE("LINK_TO_SHEET","Assignments!A2:Q"),"SELECT Col2,Col3,Col4,Col5,Col6,Col7,Col8,Col9,Col10,Col11,Col12,Col13 WHERE Col1='"&G1&"' AND Col17='N'",0),""));ARRAYFORMULA(IFNA(QUERY(IMPORTRANGE("LINK_TO_SHEET","Assignments!A2:Q"),"SELECT Col2,Col3,Col4,Col5,Col6,Col7,Col8,Col9,Col10,Col11,Col12,Col13 WHERE Col1='"&G1&"' AND Col17='Y'",0),""))}
What I want to do is add a single word between the two imported sets of data. It should like kinda like this:
Name
State
City
Blake G.
Arizona
Phoenix
Amy B.
New Mexico
Santa Fe
Inactive
Bill
Texas
Austin
I added the word inactive so the middle looks like ""));"Inactive";ARRAY between the two formulas but because of how Query works I get an error saying the array lengths for each formula do not match. Is there alternative to help make this happen or will I need to figure out a workaround with something that isn't Query?
SUGGESTION
Feel free to comment below if ever your question has been misunderstood.
In my understanding, here's your process:
The first formula will list all data that has N value in Col17 .
The second formula will list all data that has Y value in Col17.
This second formula should also have an Inactive title header.
Merge the two formulas separated by the word "Inactive".
If I got it correctly, you could use the label clause to add "Inactive" in your second Query function as seen on this tweaked formula:
={ARRAYFORMULA(IFNA(QUERY(IMPORTRANGE("SHEET_URL","A1:Q"),"SELECT Col2,Col3,Col4,Col5,Col6,Col7,Col8,Col9,Col10,Col11,Col12,Col13 WHERE Col1 = '"&G1&"' AND Col17 = 'Y'"),0));ARRAYFORMULA(IFNA(QUERY(IMPORTRANGE("SHEET_URL","A1:Q"),"SELECT Col2,Col3,Col4,Col5,Col6,Col7,Col8,Col9,Col10,Col11,Col12,Col13 WHERE Col1 = '"&G1&"' AND Col17 = 'N' label Col2 'Inactive'"),0))}
Demo
Sample result.
E.g. If there's new data added that should be under "Inactive".
Main Sheet
John's Sheet
#SputnikDrunk2 is a very good workaround. Just in case you decide to stack different types of ranges that are not queries, you should consider that they need to have the same amount of columns. So if you add a new row it should have the 12 columns you have from your Queries. One way would be like this:
={ARRAYFORMULA(IFNA(QUERY(IMPORTRANGE("LINK_TO_SHEET","Assignments!A2:Q"),"SELECT Col2,Col3,Col4,Col5,Col6,Col7,Col8,Col9,Col10,Col11,Col12,Col13 WHERE Col1='"&G1&"' AND Col17='N'",0),""));
{"Inactive","","","","","","","","","","",""};
ARRAYFORMULA(IFNA(QUERY(IMPORTRANGE("LINK_TO_SHEET","Assignments!A2:Q"),"SELECT Col2,Col3,Col4,Col5,Col6,Col7,Col8,Col9,Col10,Col11,Col12,Col13 WHERE Col1='"&G1&"' AND Col17='Y'",0),""))}
Another option to avoid creating so many "","","","" is to use this "trick" that divides a range by 0, and with IFERROR it returns empty cells:
{"Inactive",INDEX (IFERROR(SEQUENCE(1,11)/0,))};
Here's another approach:
=lambda(z,
{filter(choosecols(z,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9,10,11,12,13),index(z,,1)=A1,index(z,,17)="N");
{"Inactive",makearray(1,11,lambda(r,c,iferror(1/0)))};
filter(choosecols(z,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9,10,11,12,13),index(z,,1)=A1,index(z,,17)="Y")}
)(A1:Q4)
A1:Q4 part in the formula should be replaced with your importrange Fx
2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9,10,11,12,13 part can also be replaced with shorter sequence(1,12,2,1)
There are many similar questions on here but I can not find the answer I am after.
I am working in Google Sheets and need to write a conditional formatting equation that will highlight the B:C columns if they match an entry on the second sheet in the B:C columns. I do not know any search criteria past that which is where I keep running into an error. All the other questions here know what they are searching for. My work is fluid and new entries come in that may match an old one and I need to know that!
I use this formula on the first sheet to match entries specifically on the first sheet,
=COUNTIF(ARRAYFORMULA($B$3:$B$389&$C$3:$C$389),$B2&$C2)>1
This formula works great. If Lexington, SC is in row 2 and Lexington, SC is added again later in row 100, BAM they both light up red. Love that. The second equation I need is not so simple.
my data is:
SHEET 1 - Column B and Column C
County
State
Lexington
SC
Douglas
KS
Chase
KS
Clay
OH
Greenwood
NY
SHEET 2 - Column B and Column C
County
State
Saratoga
NY
Douglas
KS
Chase
KS
Clay
OH
Greenwood
SC
In this example above, I need the new formula to highlight Douglas KS, Chase KS, Clay OH on sheet one, because these three counties exists on Sheet Two.
I have tried MATCH, INDEX, VLOOKUP, etc. I keep running into an issue when I want TWO columns to be compared to TWO columns. It needs to be county name AND state.
Thank you to the community for any help you can give. I will provide more information if it is needed! I think this sums up my issue though.

The only query I have gotten to work only works on the B column
=match($B2,indirect("Ready to Start!$B2:$B"),0)
in conditional formatting (and data validation) whenever you want to refer to another sheet, that sheet's range needs to be INDIRECTed. if you got a joint range (like you do) both of them need to be wrapped in INDIRECT
try:
=COUNTIF(ARRAYFORMULA($B$3:$B$389&$C$3:$C$389),
INDIRECT("Sheet 2!B2")&INDIRECT("Sheet 2!C2"))>1
or:
=COUNTIF(ARRAYFORMULA(INDIRECT("Sheet 2!B3:B389")&INDIRECT("Sheet 2!C3:C389")),
$B2&$C2)>1
but note that this will work only if let's say B4&C4 on BOTH sheets are the same.
if one sheet compared to other has different sorting of the same values you will need a completely different formula...
if your sheets are named exactly:
Sheet 1
Sheet 2
try this in Sheet 1:
=($A2<>"")*REGEXMATCH($A2&$B2, TEXTJOIN("|", 1,
INDIRECT("Sheet 2!A2:A")&INDIRECT("Sheet 2!B2:B")))
The formula has to be input on cell A2. The logic should be that the formula would result in the following cell (from cell A3 downwards) outputting a no. in a reversed numbered list format in column 1. And for those who are "Resigned" or "Dismissed" in column 3, the formula would skip them and the next numbering would be a follow-up from the previous no. instead.
We're using in-house software that's similar to Google Sheets and Microsoft Excel so certain functions/formulas like REGEX and custom functions are not supported.

This post is a repost from this ask as the solutions weren't applicable to this issue, unfortunately. So I'm looking for alternative solutions from those answers.
Alternative:
=ARRAYFORMULA(IF(MMULT(N(C2:C8={"Resigned","Dismissed"}),{1;1}),"",MMULT(N(ROW(C2:C8)<=TRANSPOSE(ROW(C2:C8))),1-ISNUMBER(MATCH(C2:C8,{"Resigned","Dismissed"},0)))))
Note that the oft-seen technique of replacing the upper cell reference in the range passed with a reference to the entire column (for example, C2:C) would here not be advisable. If such flexibility is required, suggest you create a dynamic Named Range.
can't be simpler:
=ARRAYFORMULA(IF((C2:C="contract")+(C2:C="part-time")+(C2:C="full-time"),
COUNTIFS(SUBSTITUTE(C2:C, "Contract", "time"), "*time", ROW(C2:C), ">="&ROW(C2:C)), ))
Paste this formula in A2
= {"Count" ; ArrayFormula(IFNA(IF(B3:B="",,VLOOKUP(B3:B, FILTER({ B3:C, SEQUENCE(ROWS(B3:B),1,COUNTA(B3:B),-1) }, C3:C<>"Resigned",C3:C<>"Dismissed"),3,0)),""))}
I have some cells with multiple lines of text, and I'm looking for a specific word in that text. So for the example below, every row that contains the word "Canada" should return as "TRUE"
A
B
C
Jeffrey
Canada, Male
Hi, I'm from Canada! I love to play hockey
Priyanka
UK, Female
I grew up in London
Victoria
USA, Female
I'm originally from Canada but now live in NYC
I guess I'm thinking about this the wrong way, because IF + SEARCH seems to only return an exact match for the selected cell(s), which of course is an issue for cells with unique text. I'm really not sure what else to try.
In your situation, how about using REGEXMATCH as follows?
Sample formula:
=ARRAYFORMULA(IF(REGEXMATCH(A1:A&B1:B&C1:C,"Canada"),TRUE,""))
In this sample formula, the values of columns "A", "B" and "C" are joined and Canada is searched using REGEXMATCH.
Result:
When this sample formula is used, the following result is obtained.
Reference:
REGEXMATCH
use:
=INDEX(REGEXMATCH(A1:A&B1:B&C1:C; "Canada"))
be aware that regex is case sensitive so if you need so use:
=INDEX(REGEXMATCH(LOWER(A1:A&B1:B&C1:C); "canada"))
I am trying to use the transpose split formula combined with the vlookup importrange values to neatly sort results that turn up with values split by "/" (slash).
Basically, I have a form that needs to be populated from a list of names depending on their roles. In most cases, one name occupies one role, but I do have some roles for which multiple names are present. These are split by an "/" (eg. John Doe/John Smith).
I am new to this and have not managed to wrap my head around what I might be doing wrong. My formula currently reads as follows:
=iferror(VLOOKUP(B4,{IMPORTRANGE("1_T8NLkWhTDzK6LjxP09mLlphzfLx15FcZeGSdIKZj4M","'BOE''s B.Sc. (Hon) {Inc. ENG Units}'!A1:F");IMPORTRANGE("1_T8NLkWhTDzK6LjxP09mLlphzfLx15FcZeGSdIKZj4M","'BOE''s M.Sc. (Taught)'!A1:F")},4,0))
The cell used for this formula is B11 and I would like the second name, when present, to be split and listed in cell B14 (or B12 if that is not possible).
vLookUp() will give you just a single value, if I understand you correctly. When the formula you provided is on B11 and, say, its result value is John Doe/John Smith, then you can split it with / by =split(b11, "/"). Of course it's a horizontal array, so if you want vertical (transposed) result you should use =transpose(split(b11, "/")). Then B11 will be John Doe and B12 will be John Smith.
