Not sure how to describe this one, so apologies for the vague title.
I'm trying to identify when a specific value in a column in Google Sheets appears more than once, but only if the value in a separate column is different. A visual will probably help here:
So in this scenario you can see that the 1111 ID is assigned to James twice and Nicole once. It's absolutely fine that 1111 is listed multiple times. But it's not good that it's assigned to more than one unique person. So my desire is for every row using the 1111 ID gets flagged with a formula (as seen in the 'Status' column) so that I can filter for it and handle the problem.
The example above uses names for the Owner, but that could be numbers instead.
Here is an example sheet:
https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1eBF3G6UAICgzUJdUA8onGyJiba0Wmu4DOK3U6-SQz7c/edit?usp=sharing
If Owner is in column A and ID is in column B then, for Excel, you could put this in C2 and copy it to the other cells in column C:
=IF(COUNTIFS(B:B,B2)=COUNTIFS(A:A,A2,B:B,B2),"Good","Mismatch Detected")
It compares the count of the ID against the count of the ID and the name. If the ID 1111 appears 3 times but James,1111 only appears 2 times there is a mismatch.
You probably want to change the A:A and B:B to be the range of your actual data.
You can try in GS:
=ArrayFormula(IF(LEN(A2:A),IF((COUNTIF(A2:A&B2:B,A2:A&B2:B)=COUNTIF(B2:B,B2:B)),"Good","Bad"),))
try:
=INDEX(IF(A2:A="",,IF(COUNTIFS(A2:A&B2:B, A2:A&B2:B)=1, "mismatch", "good")))

I am looking for a solution on either Google sheets or app script to check for overlapping dates for the same account. There will be multiple accounts and the dates won't be in any particular order. Here is an example below. I am trying to achieve the right column "check" with some formula or automation. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
Start Date
End Date
Account No.

I also found some similar past questions, but they don't have the "for the same account" component and/or requires some sort of chronological order, which my sheet will not have.
How to calculate the overlap between some Google Sheet time frames?
How to check if any of the time ranges overlap with each other in Google Sheets
Another approach (to be entered in D2):
=arrayformula(lambda(last_row,
lambda(acc_no,start_date,end_date,
if(isnumber(match(acc_no,unique(query(query(split(flatten(acc_no&"|"&split(map(start_date,end_date,lambda(start_date,end_date,join("|",sequence(1,end_date-(start_date-1),start_date)))),"|")),"|"),"select Col1,count(Col2) where Col2 is not null group by Col1,Col2",0),"select Col1 where Col2>1",1)),0)),"ERROR","OK"))(
C2:index(C2:C,last_row),A2:index(A2:A,last_row),B2:index(B2:B,last_row)))(
counta(A2:A)))
Briefly, we are creating a sequence of dateserial numbers between the start & end dates for each row, doing some string manipulation to turn it into a table of account number against each date, then QUERYing it to get each account number which has dateserials with count>1 (i.e. overlaps), using UNIQUE to get the distinct list of those account numbers, then finally matching this list against the original list of account numbers to give the ERROR/OK output.
(1) Here is one way, considering each case which could result in an overlap separately:
=ArrayFormula(if(A2:A="",,
if((countifs(A2:A,"<="&A2:A,B2:B,">="&A2:A,C2:C,C2:C,row(A2:A),"<>"&row(A2:A))
+countifs(A2:A,"<="&B2:B,B2:B,">="&B2:B,C2:C,C2:C,row(A2:A),"<>"&row(A2:A))
+countifs(A2:A,">="&A2:A,B2:B,"<="&B2:B,C2:C,C2:C,row(A2:A),"<>"&row(A2:A))
)>0,"ERROR","OK")
)
)
(2) Here is the method using the Overlap formula
min(end1,end2)-max(start1,start2)+1
which results in
=ArrayFormula(if(byrow(A2:index(C:C,counta(A:A)),lambda(r,sum(text(if(index(r,2)<B2:B,index(r,2),B2:B)-if(index(r,1)>A2:A,index(r,1),A2:A)+1,"0;\0;\0")*(C2:C=index(r,3))*(row(A2:A)<>row(r)))))>0,"ERROR","OK"))
(3) Most efficient is to use the original method of comparing previous and next dates, but then you need to sort and sort back like this:
=lambda(data,sort(map(sequence(rows(data)),lambda(c,if(if(c=1,0,(index(data,c-1,2)>=index(data,c,1))*(index(data,c-1,3)=index(data,c,3)))+if(c=rows(data),0,(index(data,c+1,1)<=index(data,c,2))*(index(data,c+1,3)=index(data,c,3)))>0,"ERROR","OK"))),index(data,0,4),1))(SORT(filter({A2:C,row(A2:A)},A2:A<>""),3,1,1,1))
HOWEVER, this only checks for local overlaps. not globally. You can see what I mean if you change the dataset slightly:
Clearly the first and third pair of dates have an overlap but G4 contains "OK". This is because each pair of dates is only checked against the adjacent pairs of dates. This also applies to the original reference cited by OP - here's an example where it would give a similar result:
The formula posted by #The God of Biscuits gives the correct (global) result :-)
I have one spreadheet that includes name, id and amount of numbers data in it and i want to make the report in other spreadsheet.
i want to count the name column that is not blank, so i type this
=COUNTIF(importrange("gsheet link","Payroll 16-31 Jan!B3:B"),"<>")
but the result is "1" in fact that there are 3670 names on the column
=COUNTIF(importrange("gsheet link","Payroll 16-31 Jan!B3:B"),"<>"&"")
but still not working
can someone help?
I want to get the exact calculation of those data
Two things: have you connected the spreadsheets? If not, use IMPORTRANGE outside COUNTIF, something like =importrange("gsheet link","A1") . Accept the permissions and see if COUNTIF now does it right
If it doesn't, try with COUNTA that is specifically defined for counting non blank cells:. =COUNTA(importrange("gsheet link","Payroll 16-31 Jan!B3:B"))

Although I believe what I'm trying to do is fairly simple, It is difficult for me to even find the correct words to describe what I'm trying to do. I suspect that is why I've been researching all day for an answer and cannot find it.
I need an ARRAYFORMULA that can check for the existence of a given "PARENT ID" in another table, but only if another cell in the same row is not true.
A given PARENT ID from TABLE 2 could appear in TABLE 1 multiple times, sometimes paired with "TRUE" and sometimes not. I only need to know if the PARENT ID from TABLE 1 appears in TABLE 2 along with the value TRUE in the "Done" column next to it. If it appears even once, I want to denote it in TABLE 2.
I am able to do this in various forms, but none of them work with ARRAYFORMULA.
See the shared example sheet above. I would greatly appreciate any help.
See my two newly added sheets ("Erik Help" and "Erik Help 2"). Below are the formulas I used:
In "Erik Help":
=ArrayFormula({"In Table 1 and Not Done?";IF(E3:E="",,IF(ISERROR(VLOOKUP(E3:E,TRIM(B3:B&C3:C),1,FALSE)),,TRUE))})
This delivers the results you want as asked (though your manually entered results did not list F3 as TRUE when I believe it should be).
The trick here is looking for the Parent ID within a virtual column that concatenates Col B and Col C and then TRIMs out extra characters (such as null). If there is an exact match, we know that there was no value in Col B. And since the only valid Col-B value is Boolean TRUE, we are assured that any match is in effect false (or not Done).
In "Erik Help 2":
=ArrayFormula({"In Table 1 and Not Done?";IF(E3:E="",,IF(ISERROR(VLOOKUP(E3:E,TRIM(B3:B&C3:C),1,FALSE)),,IFERROR("Item ID(s): "&VLOOKUP(E3:E,REGEXREPLACE(TRIM(SPLIT(FLATTEN(QUERY(QUERY({FILTER(C3:C,A3:A<>"",B3:B<>TRUE)&"~",FILTER(A3:A&" (R"&ROW(A3:A)&")",A3:A<>"",B3:B<>TRUE)&","}, "Select MAX(Col2) GROUP BY Col2 PIVOT Col1"),, 9^9)),"~")),"[,\s]+$",""),2,FALSE),TRUE)))})
Instead of simply TRUE, this version returns the Item ID(s) that are not done for that Parent ID along with the row number where each incomplete Item ID is found.
Since you didn't expressly ask for this, I'm considering it bonus material and will not take time to explain it.
Another answer I received on another forum:
=ArrayFormula(IF(COUNTIF(C3:C&B3:B,E3:E),true,))

I'm trying to populate a column with the last known price at the end of a batch of orders.
Please see an example attached.
I need the last price known from columns "price". Please note that there is not always value.
I tried something like this : =LOOKUP(B2:H2,"price",B3:H3<>"")
But it didn't really work.
(the nos 18 and 3 in column "I" are just examples. I need the green 3 results),thx.
Maybe try:
=INDEX(FILTER(B3:H3,B$2:H$2="price"),COUNTIFS(B$2:H$2,"price",B3:H3,"<>"))
If there could be empty gaps in your data, try this alternative:
=INDEX(A3:H3,MAX(COLUMN(A3:H3)*(A$2:H$2="price")*(A3:H3<>"")))
I am looking for a formula that can perform the "COUNT" equivalent of "SUMIF". I have in 'Sheet A' running records of attendance, with column A as "Last Name," column B is "First Name," and column C is "Attendance." The attendance column has values of "P, A, L" for present, absent, or late (respectively). The sheet is automatically updated each day, as new data for the day's attendance are appended at the bottom of the sheet.
In 'Sheet B' I have each student's name, matching the syntax in the above sheet ("Last Name" "First Name"). In this sheet, I want to be able to count the number of instances of each, "P", "A", and "L".
So...I want to be able to count in Sheet A the number of times a student has a "A" in the attendance column, conditionally by student name. I know that with SUMIF you can sum a range conditionally. COUNTIF does not work to appropriately filter the values by the student name. I was not able to get DCOUNTA to work either.
Open to any suggestions, no matter how complex.
For anyone curious, I came up with my own crude solution.
I created a new sheet for each: Present, Absent Late. Within each sheet I ran a query: =QUERY({'Imported Data'!A:C}, "select * where Col3 = 'P'"). This query returned every record where an individual was marked "P". Repeat for "A" and "L" on their respective sheets.
In my main sheet, which records count totals, I used the COUNTIF: =COUNTIF(Present!D:D,C2). I had a small problem to work around in this, as I had my data imported with a "Last Name" and "First Name" column, but could not COUNTIF across two columns. So, I created an ARRAYFORMULA in each Present/Absent/Late sheet. This concatenated the name values, so I could search against that singular value in my main sheet. This was present in D:1 of Present/Absent/Late: =Arrayformula(A:A&", "&B:B).
A little duplication and I was able to create my own, automatically updated, attendance tracker.
You seem to have gone to a great deal of effort to work around a problem that does not exist. In general, where SUMIF works for adding then a very similar COUNTIF should work for counting. Because in most groups of modest size neither first names nor surnames are likely to be unique (even if the combinations are likely to be) it is generally a good idea to assign IDs to people. Concatenating Last Name with First Name is effective but other options can be more compact.
Assuming in Sheet B you have P, A and L respectively in C1:E1 (a unique set of Last Name in ColumnA and First Name in ColumnB) then in C2 the following may be adequate if copied across to E2 and C2:E2 down to suit:
=COUNTIFS('Sheet A'!$A:$A,$A2,'Sheet A'!$B:$B,$B2,'Sheet A'!$C:$C,C$1)
Sheets Imported Data and Present seem irrelevant.
