Subtract 3 Columns in Google Sheet at Once - google-sheets

Can someone help me? I'm using array formula for all. And basically I need to subract 3 columns, is there a way to do that? Im managing inventory.
In the picture shown, Column C - Column D equals Column F, and what I need is I want to add the column E to the subtraction

use:
={"Total Inventory"; INDEX(IF(A2:A="",,E2:E+C2:C-D2:D))}

Try in your present function
if(A1:A="",,E1:E+C1:C-D1:D)

On Google Sheets, copy the contents of a column to another column but skip some destination cells

On a Google sheets, column A has checkboxes, column C is a list of items.
Copy all the items from column C to column B but skip the destination cells that are on the same row as a checked box from column A.
No cells from column C should be skipped.
Here's the sheet with the desired result in column B:

I'm struggling to create a formula to do that.
Thank you! :)
I can't come up with a formula to do that. I've been Googling it but no luck. Any hep would be much appreciated. Thank you.
can you try this:
=QUERY(ARRAYFORMULA(SORT({BYROW(A:A,LAMBDA(ladr,IF(ladr=TRUE,{IFERROR(1/0),ROW(ladr)-(COUNTIF(A$1:OFFSET(ladr,-1,0),TRUE))},)));{C:C,row(C:C)}},2,1)),"Select Col1 Where Col2 is not null")
-
Another approach (tick boxes in A1:A, source list in B1:Bn):
=arrayformula(ifna(vlookup(query(reduce(,A1:index(A:A,counta(B:B)+countif(A:A,true)),lambda(a,r,{a;if(r=true,,max(a)+1)})),"offset 1",0),{row(B:B),B:B},2,0)))

Google Sheets - get value from above

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))}

How can I rewrite the Google Sheet formula to make it autofill without hand dragging?

I have only given data A & B 2 columns and want to create column C to concatenate column A & B with autofill function. How can I rewrite the C1 formula to make it?
Any thoughts? thank you
try:
={"PK"; ARRAYFORMULA(TEXT(B2:B, "yyyy-m-dd")&A2:A)}
or just:
={"PK"; ARRAYFORMULA(B2:B&A2:A)}

Sum a range of cells in a column that can be used in other columns to sum the same range in only that column

So basically, I want =SUM(F2:F5) except I want F to be a variable that only references the current column the formula is in. Any help would be appreciated
try:
=SUM(INDIRECT(ADDRESS(2, COLUMN())&":"&ADDRESS(5, COLUMN())))

Find Unique in google sheets - first n characters

I have a google sheet with a column (A) of urls.
Xttps://tXco/008wnbebbw
Xttps://tXco/00lR1FNKBo
Xttps://tXco/00lR1Fw9cO
Xttps://tXco/00UwZwgh2h
Xttps://tXco/00UwZwxSqR
Xttps://tXco/00UwZwxSqR
Xttps://tXco/044TcIFl72
In column B I need to find all unique urls up to the 18th character. For instance column B should show:
Xttps://tXco/008wnbebbw
Xttps://tXco/00lR1FNKBo
Xttps://tXco/00UwZwgh2h
Xttps://tXco/044TcIFl72
I have this formula which I was trying to adapt for it (not sure if it helps at all). I was trying to adapt this to use with =UNIQUE( ?
=SUMPRODUCT(--(LEFT($A$1:$A$15,18)=LEFT(A1,18)))>1
If it helps to take a look at the sheet, here it is: https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1tG7TpHNvNY86PRiePsKyKfxnuEZah6T7ZDL7dXOIcEA/edit?usp=sharing
Thanks in advance!
You may try this formula:
=ArrayFormula(vlookup(
UNIQUE(FILTER(LEFT(A2:A,17),A2:A<>"")),
FILTER({LEFT(A2:A,17),A2:A},A2:A<>""),
2,0))
How it works
it will first find unique left N chars:
UNIQUE(FILTER(LEFT(A2:A,17),A2:A<>"")
then get left N chars and original strings:
FILTER({LEFT(A2:A,17),A2:A},A2:A<>"")
and then use vlookup to get top first entry for uniques.
Try this instead without the extra column. Put it in B1:
=unique(arrayformula(if(left(A1:A,18)=left(A1:A,18),A1:A,"")))
Try this: =unique(arrayformula(left(A1:A,18)))
