Is there any way of creating a filter condition that would be equal to all?
I would like to include all cells with and without cell content as a condition for one of my columns.
It would be something like this
=filter(A1:C4, B1:B4=F2, C1:C4=G2) F2=a & G2='all'
I have set up a spreadsheet here
The reason why I want to do this is that my condition changes depenedent on other parameters and G2 could be 'all' or a specific condition like 't' but it has cater for both situations.
I don't know how to use the filter function but you can add a column that validates your conditions first, then filter on that column only, it would probably be easier
the formula for the validation column could look like this :
=if(and(B1=$F$2,or(C1=$G$2,C1="")),1,0)

i've the following formula the problem i've is, this isn't working as it should be.
=SUMIFS(E9:14,$I$16:$I,FALSE(),$H$16:$H,G8)
E9:E14 is the part which should be summed up when the checkbox in I16:I = FALSE and if the name matches in H16:H from G8. My problem is I am getting this error
The array arguments of "SUMIFS" vary in size
My question would be, how do I get this exact formula to work? Exactly these areas have to be covered and cannot be changed, otherwise everything else is broken.
EDIT: Added example spreadsheet

You need to adjust your ranges. Here's how =SUMIFS() works and then you'll see why you need to adjust the function.
=SUMIFS() looks for ranges and then applies the logic. So when you are telling the function to summarise E9:E14 it interprets it as:
SUM(E9,E10,E11,E12,E13,E14)
provided the following conditions. The conditions will tell the function whether to include each of the components (i.e. E9,...,E14).
Whether a condition is met or not is decided using a simple boolean (true/false) array. This could for example be I9:I14=FALSE which is interpreted as the array
{IF(I9=FALSE),IF(I10=FALSE),...,IF(I14=FALSE)}
resulting in an array similar to this:
{TRUE,TRUE,FALSE,FALSE,FALSE,TRUE}
(assuming the conditions I9, I10 and I14 are met but not the other three. The same is done for the second condition (the values in column H being equal to the value in G8, resulting in another array similar to this:
{TRUE,FALSE,FALSE,TRUE,FALSE,TRUE}
(assuming that only the values in H9, H12 and H14 are equal to G8.
When the function compares the two condition arrays and returns an aggregate array similar to this:
{TRUE,FALSE,FALSE,FALSE,FALSE,TRUE}
because only for the first and the last value the conditions are met. Therefore the =SUM function becomes like this:
SUM(E9,FALSE,FALSE,FALSE,FALSE,E14)
where FALSE = 0 so it returns
=SUM(E9,E14)
Here's where you get into trouble
You try to pass the function conditional arrays that are of a different size to the sum array (E9:E14), in effect asking it to compare apples and the age of your neighbour. What you need to do is to create the calculation you have in column E in a new column in rows 24 down and use that as the sum range in =SUMIFS().
im trying to mark matching URLs red.
I have two sheets with URL Data.
My custom Formula looks like this:
match(A2,indirect(Sheet2!A2:A),0)
wondering why there is an error if i use =match(A2,indirect(LostURLs!A2:A),0)
so with the additional =
Anyways both methods are not working and im wondering why?
Indirect excepts the first argument to be "a cell reference as string".
So please try
=match(A2,indirect("LostURLs!A2:A"),0)
and see if that works?
Note: depending on if you want the formatting for a single cell, a column or a row you may have to use a dollar sign in the first argument of the match() function
E.g: If you'd want to repeat the formatting for column A, you would have to use
=match($A2,indirect("LostURLs!A2:A"),0)
For row 2 that would be:
=match(A$2,indirect("LostURLs!A2:A"),0)
and for a single cell
=match($A$2,indirect("LostURLs!A2:A"),0)
NOTE: Depending on your locale, you may have to change the comma's to semi-colons.
perhaps try:
=MATCH(A2; INDIRECT("LostURLs!A2:A"); 0)
I've filtered unique values (discarding blanks) from one sheet to another. I'd now like to add the equivalent of an 'if' to display unique values that also have a value attached to it.
To illustrate my point I've highlighted the values (green) of the values I'd like to carry through.
My current formula:
=UNIQUE(FILTER('Sheet2'!A1:A33,'Sheet2'!A1:A33<>""))
The working sheet(s) can be found here. I figured it's be easier than describing it in text.

The formula in question is in cell A1 on Sheet1.
Thanks in advance.
You can add that condition in your filter function.
=UNIQUE(FILTER(Sheet2!A1:A33,Sheet2!A1:A33<>"", Sheet2!B1:B33>0))
If you want to return name AND value, try
=UNIQUE(FILTER(Sheet2!A1:B33,Sheet2!A1:A33<>"", Sheet2!B1:B33>0))
=FILTER(Sheet2!A:G,Sheet2!A:A=UNIQUE(Sheet2!A:A))
for my case,
unique column A,
bring along value B to G.
I have a data set with 77 rows. One of the columns (let's call it C) contains a name value. I would like to highlight the row if the name in column C is found in a list of names in another column.
Currently, I'm able to check only a single value, instead of a list of values. In conditional format rules, I'm able to enter the following formula
=$C:$C=$GU$1
This, of course, only checks the value against the first name in column GU. I tried to add :$GU$100 to the condition, but that won't work as the condition is now checking if the entry is the same as the entire value from GU1:GU100.
I thought I might try to use a FIND() method to see if the substring were in the larger string. To do that, I attempted the following:
=$C:$C=IF(ISNUMBER(FIND($C$1,$GU$1:$GU$100)),1,0)
While this did not return an error, it also did not highlight any rows. I'm unsure how to format one row based on whether or not the value in that row is an entry in a list elsewhere. Any ideas?
Please select your 'entire row' range (here assumed ColumnsA:G) and Format, Conditional formatting..., Format cells if..., Custom formula is:
=match($C1,$H:$H,0)
choose your Formatting style and Done. Where ColumnH is assumed to have your list.
You can add conditional formatting like this with the custom function option and applying to column C, pretending that the list with names your matching against is in column J:
=IF(ISTEXT(VLOOKUP(C1:C,J:J,1,false)),TRUE,FALSE)
I have a data set that looks like this: starting on A1 with "1"
1 a
2 b
3 c
4 d
Column A is an arrayformula =arrayformula(row(b1:b))
Column B is manual input
i want to query the database and finding the row of the item by match column B so i have code as such
=query("A1:B","select A where B like '%c%')
this should give me "3"
My question:
is there a way to pull the 1-4 numbers into the query line? with something like array formula row(b1:b). I don't want to waste an extra column on column A
so basically I want just the manual input and when i query it gives me the row number.
No script code please.
I've tried a few things and it didn't work.
Looking for a solutions that starts with
=query()
You can also use a formula to pull in more than one row in the dataset which matches the condition, if this is important to you:
=arrayformula(filter(row(B:B); B:B="c"))
And you can have wildcard type operators, under certain circumstances (you are going to match text or items that can look like text (so numbers can be treated as text - but boolean will need more steps); that the dataset is not huge), using regular expressions. e.g.
=arrayformula(filter(row(B:B); regexmatch(B:B, "(c|d)")))
You could also use standard spreadsheet wildcard operators, e.g.
=arrayformula(filter(row(B:B); countif(B:B, "*c*")))
Explanation: In this case, the filter will be true when countif is greater than zero, i.e. when it sees something with a letter c in it, since spreadsheets see a value greater than zero as a boolean true and so, for that row where there is a countif match, there will be a a filter match, and so it will display that row (indeed, it is a similar situation with the regexmatch creating a true when there is a match of either c or d, in the case above).
Personally, I wanted to learn regex a bit, so I would go towards the regexmatch option. But that is your choice.
You can also, of course, create the match outside of the cell. This makes it easy to create a list of matches that you want to satisfy elsewhere on the sheet. So you could have a column of words or parts of words, from Z2 downwards, and then join them together in cell Z1 for example like this
="("&join("|",filter(Z2:Z50,len(Z2:Z50)))&")"
Then your filter function would look like this:
=arrayformula(filter(row(B:B), regexmatch(B:B, Z1)))
If you want to use like operator in the query function, you can try something like this:
=arrayformula(query(if({1,0}, B:B,row(B:B)),"select Col2 where Col1 like '%c%' "))
You can also use the regular expressions in the query function, for example:
=arrayformula(query(if({1,0}, B:B,row(B:B)),"select Col2 where Col1 matches '(.*c.*|.*d.*)' "))
I'm not entirely clear on the question, but as I understand it, you want to be able to enter a formula, and have it return the row number of the matched item in a range? I'm not sure where array formulas come in.
If I've understood your question correctly, this should do the trick:
=MATCH("C",B1:B,0)
In your example, this returns 3.
Please forgive me if I've misunderstood your question.
Note: If there are multiple matches, this will return the row number for the first instance of your search.
=QUERY({A1:A,ARRAYFORMULA(ROW(A1:A))},"SELECT Col2 WHERE Col1 LIKE '%c%'")
