I have a google sheet with 2 columns, one has unique values the other one a list of several values;
I need to know if all the values of my first column are somewhere in the second one
Thank you
Column A
Column B
A
A, B, C
B
D, E, F
D
G,R, Y
I tried with =COUNTIF(FILTER(B:B,A:A=ROW(A:A)),C:C) > 0
But I can't manage to write this formulae correctly
I expected the column A to be green if the value exists in column B
With REGEXMATCH you'll be able to find the value in the next column. Try with:
=REGEXMATCH(B1,A1)*(A1<>"")
OPTION 2
Above was to checking if it appears in the corresponding row. To check the entire column with more than one value per row:
=REGEXMATCH(TEXTJOIN(",",1,B:B),A1)*(A1<>"")
I'm trying to work out a function in a Google Sheets cells to look at a column then search current row and "above" the current row to find a non number value (text).
I have data that in two columns B (item code or category) & C (item description).
I need another column to contain the categories for each item - column D. I'm looking for a formula for this column, ideally an Arrayformula as the data can change, there can be multiple items per category, some might be only 1 item, some might be 100 items per category. The arrayformula in column D will get the category from column B if it is not a number.
B column - categories and item codes, C column - item descriptions, target is D column a copy of the categories from column B.
I've tried this numerous times and usually give up, do it manually but it becomes teadious quickly. Looking forward to any help that might come from this! thanks.
In D2 try
=Arrayformula(if(isnumber(B2:B), vlookup(row(B2:B), filter({row(B2:B) , B2:B}, istext(B2:B)), 2), B2:B))
and see if that works?
Try in D1
={"Category";ArrayFormula(lookup(row(B2:B),row(B2:B)/if(isnumber(B2:B),0,1),B2:B))}
I have the following spreadsheet calculating my household outgoings with a number of categories to choose from multiple drop-down lists (Cols B, C).
In Column H, with the header Outgoings, I would like to sum the columns D and E in two rows based on the selections made in the drop-down lists in J2, J3 which act as filters for said calculation. These drop-down lists reflect the Bill Type in Column B, and the Category in Column C.
As an example, if I selected from the drop-downs in Column J: Personal, Credit/Debit then I would like the two rows in Column H (Outgoings) to be populated with the total sum of the rows D and E, respectively, for where the Bill Type and Category in B and C match Personal and Credit/Debit.
Along with the above conditions, if there is no selection in either of the Column J drop-downs, I would like the rows in Column H (Outgoings) to simply provide the calculation of the incomes in D, E (Row 2) minus the remaining sum of each column (total outgoings, i.e. D2:D).
I'm a little new with the syntax required to perform more complex calculations and was wondering if this was achievable in spreadsheets, specifically, in Google Sheets.
Try this in cell H2:
=if(J2&J3="",
sum(filter(D:D,C:C="Income"))-sum(filter(D:D,C:C<>"Income")),
sum(filter(D:D,B:B=J2))+sum(filter(D:D,C:C=J3))
)
This in H3:
=if(J2&J3="",
sum(filter(E:E,C:C="Income"))-sum(filter(E:E,C:C<>"Income")),
sum(filter(E:E,B:B=J2))+sum(filter(E:E,C:C=J3))
)
I need to sum the daily sales of each product ASIN. Sounds easy but I can`t do it.
On the left, you can see the data. At the right, the empty table that I need to create.
use:
=QUERY(K2:M; "select K,sum(M) where M is not null group by K pivot L")
Use an IF statement on the columns that you want summed.
For your example, it would be something like this:
in Cell P2
=IF($L2 = P$1, $M2, 0)
This translates to
If ((the text in column L row 2 = the text in p1), take the units from column m row 2, else take 0)
The $ are there to indicate you always want that column/row. So we always want to evaluate column L at the start and Row 1 in the comparison.
Then at the last row of the sheet you have a SUM function for the column
=SUM(P2:P100)
or whatever the end is

Below is an example of a table I have, what I am trying to do is get the value in the value column for a specific criteria based on the last occurrence (not including today's date).
So in the example below I want to find the value for the last occurrence of 'A', which is 12.
I think this can be done using an Index-Match, I just can't get my head around it though.
For example
Todays Date: 15/12/2013
---------------------------------|
|Date | Criteria | Value
|--------------------------------|
|12/11/2013 | A | 3 |
|16/11/2013 | B | 6 |
|27/11/2013 | C | 7 |
|3/12/2013 | A | 12 |
|5/12/2013 | B | 8 |
|15/12/2013 | A | |
----------------------------------
EDIT:
I would also like to add that this formula will be in a different sheet to the table above. The sheet reference in the formula also needs to be dynamic, it will draw the sheet name from another cell.
I would use this formula:
=index(C:C,max(arrayformula(match(filter(A:A,B:B="A",C:C<>""),A:A,0))),1)
This formula assumes that your data is in the columns A,B,C and for every "A" value in the Criteria column, the Date is different. (If that's not the case, then this formula won't work, see below.
Let's look the formula inside from outside:
filter(A:A,B:B="A",C:C<>"") - This will result with the dates where there is an "A" in the Criteria column, and where the Value column is not empty.
arrayformula(match(filter(A:A,B:B="A",C:C<>""),A:A,0)) - In this step we basically find the row number in which those dates are present. The match function will search for the dates (counted in step 1). The arrayformula is needed because there will be more results.
max(arrayformula(match(filter(A:A,B:B="A",C:C<>""),A:A,0))) - This will find the maximum row number (The maximum row number which contains an "A" in the Criteria column)
index(C:C,max(arrayformula(match(filter(A:A,B:B="A",C:C<>""),A:A,0))),1) - Finally, we use the INDEX function to navigate to the value, which has the maximum row number.
Now, if you want this formula to work on another sheet, you should write, instead of for example:
=index(C:C,... => =index(Data!C:C,...
Assuming that your data is in your Data worksheet.
If you want to this sheet to be dynamic, it's a bit tricky. Let's assume, that you're getting the value of the sheet name from the G1 cell. Then you should write:
=index(indirect(concatenate(G1,"!C:C")),...
This is not so pretty as you should do this for every occasion when it occurs in that long formula (described earlier). Instead you can do some pre-work.
Let's write this to your H1 cell: =concatenate(G1,"!C:C") - If in the G1 cell the sheet name is "Data", then the H1 cell should contain: Data!C:C, similarly you can add to the
H2 cell: =concatenate(G1,"!A:A"),
H3 cell: =concatenate(G1,"!B:B")
Now you can write (and that's the final answer for your question I think):
=index(indirect(H1),max(arrayformula(match(filter(indirect(H2),indirect(H3)="A",indirect(H1)<>""),indirect(H2),0))),1) - where H1,H2,H3 will reference to your Data sheet's columns.
I hope it helps.
Use the following formula to accomplish that.
Formula
=QUERY(
B1:D6, // data
"SELECT D // select
WHERE // where clause
C = 'A' AND // first criterium
D IS NOT NULL // second criterium
ORDER BY B DESC // order by
LIMIT 1, // limit
0" // headers
)
for copy/paste
=QUERY(B1:D6, "SELECT D WHERE C = 'A' AND D IS NOT NULL ORDER BY B DESC LIMIT 1", 0)
Explained
The clue to the formula is the usage of the ORDER BY and the LIMIT options within the QUERY formula. The WHERE clauses will prepare the result in the first place. Next, column B (the dates) is ordered descendingly (highest first). The LIMIT option sets the amount of rows to be displayed at 1.
Example
I've created an example file for you: Lookup value based on latest matching Criteria
I appreciate this is a slightly old question, but there is a way that I achieved the goal of filtering an array which I found both more conceptually straightforward, and also more generally applicable than the other answers I have seen, using vlookup's definitional ability to pick the first matching value in an array.
PROBLEM, RESTATED:
Assuming sample data:
A...B...C...D...E, created by a google form
A is the form entry date
B, C and D are entries from a list (let's assume they are e.g. product name, geography, and sales date)
E is the value
If a new value is entered for a particular product, in a geography, on a date, then I want this to be used in preference to the older version of that same data.
SOLUTION:
If, in your form, you create three new columns:
F Unique test
G Test cells combined
H Unique cells
Then in column G, you create a combination of all the cells you want to test on (in this case B, C and E)
cell G2: "=arrayformula(B2:B & char(9) & C2:C & char(9) & D2:D)"
The next column is a restatement of the cells you want to filter based on (in this case the date in A)
cell H2: "=arrayformula(A2:A)"
And then finally in column F we actually undertake the test:
cell F2: "=arrayformula(A2:A=vlookup(G2:G,sort({G2:H},2,false),2,false))"
Breaking that down, the vlookup (vlookup(G2:G,[RANGE],2,false) compares the data in G2, G3...Gn with a [RANGE], which is a virtual array consisting of two columns, G and H, pre-sorted according to cell H in descending order.
i.e. For any unique value of G (the combination of test data) the vlookup will return the largest value of H
The last part is a simple comparison to the original data (A2, A3... An) to return TRUE or FALSE based on whether it is the latest version of the unique value.
A final step if needed would be to create a new sheet with "=filter('Form Responses 1'!A:E,'Form Responses 1'F:F=TRUE) to recreate the data without the older versions.
Hope this helps.
