I admit this is a strange request. Essentially myself and another person who speaks Mandarin need to work on scheduling asynchronously through a spreadsheet. If either of us enters something in, in our respective sections, it should update the other person's section to match. So If I changed Order 1 on Day 1 from Apple to Butter, it should look at the translated text for Butter in Chinese and update the dropdown list entry for Order 1 on Day 1 from Apple to Butter
Unfortunately it doesn't seem like there's anyway to add formulas to dropdown lists. Any advice here?
I created a super simplified spreadsheet of what I'm looking for Spreadsheet
there is a GOOGLETRANSLATE formula:
also, you have DETECTLANGUAGE that outputs the language code:
both of them (DETECTLANGUAGE is able to work with vertical arrays only) are not supported under ARRAYFORMULA so you will need to drag them around. also, it's worth mentioning that formulae are always 1-directional so you can have a dropdown to be translated but that translated output can't be used directly as the input for back-translation creating a paradox. with a scripted solution, you may have more flexibility tho.

I'm building a spreadsheet that automatically gets a row added when I get an application on my form. Here is the link to the sheet. As you can see, the first tab is just a list of applications, with the location they've applied for, and the date. The second tab is a daily count for each location, which is eventually sent out as an email each night. I'd like to include weekly numbers, and maybe even an ongoing weekly comparison. e.g. # of apps today, this week (so far), last week, etc.
I'm no expert with this stuff and it's getting a bit over my head possibly. Any ideas on how to get this done smoothly?? Thanks a ton in advance!
Your problem (like many) is primarily a problem with the organization of your raw data.
On a new tab called MK.Help, I've put the following formula in cell A2:
=ARRAYFORMULA(QUERY(SPLIT(FLATTEN(Applications!A2:A&"|"&Applications!S2:S&"|"&FLOOR(Applications!S2:S-2,7)+2&"|"&Applications!B2:R),"|",0,0),"where Col4 is not null and Col2>="&I2))
Then I made a simple table on the right with some fairly straightforward COUNTIFS() that look like this:
=COUNTIFS($C:$C,H$2,$D:$D,$F3)
The layout of the data vertically is what's making the formulas relatively simple for the summary.
I've been asked to create a summary for some google form responses, and though I have a working solution, I can't help but feel there must be a more elegant one.
The form collects data related to case checking - every month each team (there's 100+ teams) has to check a certain number of cases based on how many staff are in their team, and enter the results for each case they've checked in the google form. The team that have set this up want me to summarise the data by team, month, and section of the form (preliminary questions, case recording, outcomes, etc). There are 8 sections on the live form, ranging from 1-13 questions, all with Yes/No/NA/blank answers.
(honestly, it's not how I'd have approached setting all this up, but that is out of my hands!)
So they're essentially looking for a live monthly summary with team names down the side, section names along the top, and a %age completed that will keep up with entries as they come in (where we can also use importrange and query to pull the relevant bits into other google sheet summaries, as and when needed).
What I've currently got is this:
=iferror(sum(countifs('Form Responses'!$B:$B,$A3,'Form
Responses'!$F:$F,"Yes",'Form Responses'!$E:$E,">="&$B$1,'Form
Responses'!$E:$E,"<"&edate($B$1,1)),countifs('Form
Responses'!$B:$B,$A3,'Form Responses'!$G:$G,"Yes",'Form
Responses'!$E:$E,">="&$B$1,'Form
Responses'!$E:$E,"<"&edate($B$1,1)),countifs('Form
Responses'!$B:$B,$A3,'Form Responses'!$H:$H,"Yes",'Form
Responses'!$E:$E,">="&$B$1,'Form
Responses'!$E:$E,"<"&edate($B$1,1)),countifs('Form
Responses'!$B:$B,$A3,'Form Responses'!$I:$I,"Yes",'Form
Responses'!$E:$E,">="&$B$1,'Form
Responses'!$E:$E,"<"&edate($B$1,1)),countifs('Form
Responses'!$B:$B,$A3,'Form Responses'!$J:$J,"Yes",'Form
Responses'!$E:$E,">="&$B$1,'Form
Responses'!$E:$E,"<"&edate($B$1,1)),countifs('Form
Responses'!$B:$B,$A3,'Form Responses'!$K:$K,"Yes",'Form
Responses'!$E:$E,">="&$B$1,'Form
Responses'!$E:$E,"<"&edate($B$1,1)))/(countifs('Form
Responses'!$B:$B,$A3,'Form Responses'!$E:$E,">="&$B$1,'Form
Responses'!$E:$E,"<"&edate($B$1,1))*6),0)
It works, but it feels like a bit of a brute-force-and-ignorance solution. I've tried countifs & array, I've looked a pivot but I can't get the section groups, I've had a play with query but I can't figure out how to ask it to count all Yeses in multiple columns at once.
Is there a more elegant solution, or do I have to resign myself to setting up the next financial year's summaries like this?
Edit:
You can use plain array boolean multiplication to achieve the count, as trues are converted to 1s and false are converted to 0s:
=TO_PERCENT(ARRAYFORMULA(
SUM((f!F1:K="Yes")*(f!E1:E>=B1)*(f!E1:E<EDATE(B1,1))*(f!B:B=A3))/
SUM(6*(f!E1:E>=B1)*(f!E1:E<EDATE(B1,1))*(f!B:B=A3))
)
)
Renamed Form Responses to f
Numerator: SUM of
Question filter (f!F:K =Yes) and
Month filter (f!E:E is within month of B1) and
Team filter(B:B = A3)
Denominator: 6 times the SUM of
Month filter (f!E:E is within month of B1) and
Team filter(B:B = A3)
On this sample sheet that you provided you'll notice two new tabs. MK.Retab and MK.Summary.
On MK.Retab is a single formula in A2 that "re-tabulates" all of your survey data into a format that is much easier to analyze going forward. That tab can be "hidden" on your real project. It will continue to build the 6 column dataset forever. It would be a sort of "back end" sheet, only used to supply data to any further downstream analysis.
On MK.Summary is a single formula in cell A1 that Query's that dataset from MK.Retab and shows the percentage of Yes's by month by section by team in a format similar to what you proposed. I coded it to display the most recent month at the left, immediately to the right of the team names, and to push historical data off to the right. Even though people are often used to seeing time go from left to right, I find that the opposite method nice because it keeps you from having to scroll sideways to see the most recent data. It is very simple to change should you want to by getting rid of the "desc" that you find in the "order by" clause of the query string.
I find this kind of two step solution to problems like your useful, because while the summary migth not be exactly what you want, it's always easier to build formulas and analyses off of the data as laid out in the MK.Retab sheet.
As for the formula in MK.Retab, it is based on a method that I came up with a while back that constructs a large vlookup where the [search key] is actually a sequence of decimal numbers that is built by counting the number of rows in your real data set and multiplying by the number of columns of data that need to be repeated for each row. I built a demo some time ago that I'm happy to share with folks if you want to understand better how it works.
You said that your goal was to understand the formulas so that you could modify them going forward as needed. I'm not sure how easy that will be to do, but I can try my best to answer any questions you might have about the method or the solution generally.
What I can tell you is that some of the formulas are more complicated than they need to be because you just used Q1 Q2 Q3 etc instead of the actual questions. if you had a list of the questions asked somewhere (on some other tab, say), and what you wanted to call/name their corresponding "sections", it would make the formula significantly less complicated. As it stands, I had to use the appearance of the word "Comments", in row 1 to distinguish between where one section ended and another section began. The upside to that decision though, is that the formula I wrote is infinitely expandable to the right. That is, if you were to add another 100 columns worth of questions and answers to the sample set here, the formula would be able to handle that and break it out, so long as there was the word "Comments" between each section.
Hope all this helps.
I have a Google spreadsheet and autocomplete is only working for the columns I am typing in, meaning if there is word1 in the column I am typing in, and I start to type a word, it will suggest word1, but WILL NEVER suggest word5 from the column next door. I am trying to make autocomplete data shared for all columns and rows.
Example 1-a:
Example 1-b:
See what I mean? I'd like for autocomplete to suggest the word WORRY but it won't. I am trying to share autocomplete data across the entire spreadsheet rather than just to individual column data.
unfortunately, that is not possible to achieve. autocomplete is available only in few cases when in the same column. best you can do is to use Data Validation on the whole sheet (selection) with disabled dropdown menu (for visual) but this can have undesired result in the form of a red arrow in the top right corner of the cell.
I found the answer since this is, from what I hear...not possible.
The linux program ... "TextSuggest".
Easily download and install TextSuggest from the AUR repo.
yay -S textsuggest
It will do exactly as Google Sheets autocomplete feature does, but within your entire Linux system.
If you wish to see/learn more, here is a nice article/review on it.

TextSuggest is the best alternative to the "not possible".
I have a Google Sheets budget and I am trying to write something to keep track of how much money I have spent in a specific week.
Link to my example budget below.
https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/15HP24iDd-kZ-MydKwgbMCoG0rCHN_DNOcBZsm0HhKQ0/edit?usp=sharing
I am already using sumif() to say, if the entry's CATEGORY says "Gas" then add theAMOUNT to the Gas row in the table. I want to add another parameter that will sum the amounts if the entry's CATEGORY says Gas AND is within the specified week above the table...(WEEK 31).
I hope this makes sense if you need more clarification I will try my best to do so.
As Diego suggested, SUMIFS()should work. Example
=sumifs($C$4:$C$9, $D$4:$D$9, "=week "&$I$3, $B$4:$B$9,$F4)
An alternative would be to use sumproduct().
=sumproduct($D$4:$D$9="week "&$I$3, $B$4:$B$9=$F4, $C$4:$C$9)
You should be able to fill down this formula (as far as needed) for the other categories.
Hello Everyone (this is all in Google Spreadsheets),
I'm trying to make a report where I have to sum the product of the number of Apples and Bananas bought respectively within a certain time frame by different people. The price of the goods differs, depending on who is buying them. The people who buy it do so at different times and purchase a different number of items. The formula should be extendable to include additional people in the future.
For details see this Google Spreadsheet.
I would like to get the calculation without needing steps in-between. If it makes any difference, the number of items bought on specific dates are actually in different worksheets, so they're not on the same page as in the example. I named the ranges accordingly (even though I believe/hope it makes little difference in terms of what formula to use).
Finally, if it were possible to use one formula for the total expenditures, instead of the sum over the cells above that would be grand.
I use the DATEVALUE, because otherwise I wouldn't be able to find the first and the last date of the calendar weeks. There is a dedicated DATEVALUE column in every worksheet. (Additionally, I don't have to deal with the intricacies of the date format, which gets me every time.)
I hope I didn't miss an answer to my problem and provided enough information. I can't get my head around it, I am really looking forward to your answers.
Thank you everyone :)
Greg

I won't be surprised if this isn't the best way to go about this, but regardless, here's my take on solving your problem. Result is based on this modified worksheet.
Apples:
=IFERROR(SUM(ARRAYFORMULA(ARRAYFORMULA(VLOOKUP(FILTER('Prices/Amounts'!$J$4:$J,'Prices/Amounts'!$K$4:$K>=B4,'Prices/Amounts'!$K$4:$K<=B5),FILTER('Prices/Amounts'!$J$4:$L,'Prices/Amounts'!$K$4:$K>=B4,'Prices/Amounts'!$K$4:$K<=B5),3,0))*ARRAYFORMULA(VLOOKUP(FILTER('Prices/Amounts'!$J$4:$J,'Prices/Amounts'!$K$4:$K>=B4,'Prices/Amounts'!$K$4:$K<=B5), 'Prices/Amounts'!$B$3:$D,3,0)))),0)
Bananas:
=IFERROR(SUM(ARRAYFORMULA(ARRAYFORMULA(VLOOKUP(FILTER('Prices/Amounts'!$F$4:$F,'Prices/Amounts'!$G$4:$G>=B4,'Prices/Amounts'!$G$4:$G<=B5),FILTER('Prices/Amounts'!$F$4:$H,'Prices/Amounts'!$G$4:$G>=B4,'Prices/Amounts'!$G$4:$G<=B5),3,0))*ARRAYFORMULA(VLOOKUP(FILTER('Prices/Amounts'!$F$4:$F,'Prices/Amounts'!$G$4:$G>=B4,'Prices/Amounts'!$G$4:$G<=B5), 'Prices/Amounts'!$B$3:$D,2,0)))),0)
Expenditure:
=B7+B8
The B4's and B5's refer to the date constraints. Since the formulae contain $ signs to ensure the cells stay the same, the formula can be dragged across to apply to other weeks without having to touch the formulae. As a plus side, these formulae allows a sheet to be infinitely expandable!
