I need a way to "send" the value of one cell to another cell on a different sheet. the catch is the expression cannot be in either of those 2 cells.
i was trying something like =IF(B2<>C1,VLOOKUP(A2,'Part Data'!E:H,4)=B2)
A2 = the reference for the lookup (in this instance its a part #)
B2 = the value i want moved to the vlookup location
C1= the value currently in the vlookup location (using another vlookup to pull that value from the other sheet)
try:
=IF(B2<>C1, VLOOKUP(A2, 'Part Data'!E:H, 4, 0)=B2)
which will give you TRUE or FALSE

I'm trying to the cell next to a name selected in a dropdown which that the total time listed. I thought it might be something like =SUMIF(E4,'Refined Data'!A:A,'Refined Data'!B:B) but that is not working.
The desired out come would be if you select Person 1 in the dropdown, it would say 0:00:54 in cell E6 since that is the cell next to person 1 in Refined Data and Person 2 in the dropdown would then cause E6 to say 2:10:31. Here is an example.
Add this formula below on cell E6 on your "Dashboard" sheet:
=vlookup(E4,'Refined Data'!A1:B100, 2)
This should work fine
=VLOOKUP(E4,'Refined Data'!A1:B100, 2, 0)
Here’s what the VLOOKUP formula looks like:
VLOOKUP(search_key, range, index, [is_sorted])
search_key – This is the value or item you’re looking for. For example, in the case of the restaurant, it would be burger or pizza.
range – this is the range to be used in the Vlookup function. The left-most column of this range would be searched for the search_key.
index – this is the column number from where you want to get the result. The first column in the range is 1, the second column is 2, and so on. Note that this value should be between 1 and the total number of columns. If not, then it would return a #VALUE! Error.
is_sorted – [TRUE by default] – in this argument, you can specify whether you’re looking for an exact match or an approximate match. You can use FALSE for exact match and TRUE for an approximate match. When you use TRUE, the list needs to be sorted in an ascending If you don’t specify a value here, it takes TRUE as default.

This is the example sheet. I'm trying to make it so I can put an age in Age!A2:A and then in Age!B2:B, the formula puts in the age range label that's pulled from the sheet dv.
Right now, in cell Age!B1, is the formula ={"Age Range";ARRAYFORMULA(IF(A2:A<>"",QUERY(dv!1:5,"select C where A <= "&A2:A&" and B > "&A2:A&""),""))}. However, while it'll populate when an age is put in, it only spits out "Child".
I think you just need a regular vlookup (,... TRUE) type formula. See the mk.help tab.
={"Age Range";ARRAYFORMULA(IF(A2:A<>"",VLOOKUP(A2:A,dv!A:C,3),))}
I'm having trouble trying to run a VLOOKUP query in Google Sheets. I'm trying to see if a value already exists in a given column. However, I need to sanitize the inputs since the provided numbers have 9 digits, and the inputs have 12. For example,
Cell A1 - Given Value - 123456789
Cell B1 - Inputs --------- 999123456789
I get the needed value from the input using the RIGHT Function taking the last 9 values
Cell C1 - =RIGHT(B1,9)
Then run the VLOOKUP function
Cell D1 - =VLOOKUP(C1,B:B,1,0)
The result in get in Cell D1 is:
N/A. The error I get is "Did not find 123456789 in the VLOOKUP evaluation"
I'm not sure what I'm doing wrong here since this formula works correctly in Excel.
the issue is that RIGHT converts number to text string
the solution is:
=VLOOKUP(C1*1, A1, 1, 0)
and here you can see what's going on:
or directly:
=VLOOKUP(RIGHT(B1, 9)*1, A1, 1, 0)
but if you just want to check if partial number is present in full number you can do:
=REGEXEXTRACT(B1&"", A1&"")
and ArrayFormula of that would be:
=ARRAYFORMULA(IF(A1:A<>"", IFERROR(REGEXEXTRACT(B1:B&"", A1&""), "no"), ))
If A1 has a value of 2, =INDIRECT("L"&(5+A1)) will return me cell L7's content. And my A1 value keeps on being updated.
But I need a way to sort through columns instead of rows, like
L7, M7, N7, O7 and so on...
Which formula can help me sort through the columns? I also know that =COLUMN() returns the current column converted to number, but I had no luck with =INDIRECT((column()+A1)&7).
You can use the address() function inside indirect. Address() returns a cell reference as a string. So for example, if you enter in G5
=indirect(address(A1, column()))
while A1 is 1 the above formula will return the contents of cell G1.
See if this helps?
Google Spreadsheets, match/lookup in ALL rows, except the current one
I have never come across a method that looks in all rows, except the current.
Say you have a match or vlookup and it looks in ALL the rows except the current one the formula is in.
We use a formula like below that verifies if a certain value already exists (using a MAX), but if it finds itself then the match or vlookup is always 1 (or in error)
A B
1 Formula: Does value 1 from cell A1 exist in column A?
2 Formula: Does value 1 from cell A2 exist in column A?
3 Formula: Does value 1 from cell A3 exist in column A?
4 Formula: Does value 1 from cell A4 exist in column A? Check all except row 4
Something like this
Formula in cell C4: match(A4;A$1:A3&A5:A)
Or Formula in cell C4: match(A4;A:A&[^A4])
You can use this formula from the second row of data onward (B2=):
=IFERROR(MATCH(A2,A$1:A1,0),MATCH(A2,A3:A,0)+ROWS(A$1:A1)+1)
If there is no match above the current cell it will search for a match below, and will return the correct index in the full column range by adding ROWS(A$1:A1)+1 to the below match result.
Copy this formula downward from B2 to B3 and so on.
If you are trying to check whether the value appears in the column except for the current row just use COUNTIF()
Put this formula in B2
=ARRAYFORMULA(IF($A$2:$A="",,IF(COUNTIF($A2:$A,"="&$A2:A)>1,True,False)))
Otherwise please specify what kind of output you want
