How to sum numbers within text in google sheets? - google-sheets

Im looking to sum the numbers within a cell of text, into another cell.
Example of Excel

Try
=sum(split(join("|",REGEXEXTRACT(A1,REGEXREPLACE(A1,"([0-9]+)","($1)"))),"|"))

Clear Col C entirely (including the header "TOTAL"). Then place the following formula in cell C1:
=ArrayFormula({"TOTAL"; MMULT(ARRAY_CONSTRAIN(SPLIT(REGEXREPLACE(A2:A,"[^\d]+","~")&REPT("~0",25),"~"),COUNTA(A2:A),25),SEQUENCE(25,1,1,0))})
You can change the header text within the formula itself if you like.
This one formula will produce the header and all results for all rows in Col C.
How It Works
REGEXREPLACE replaces any groupings of anything other than digits with a single tilde (~). To this new string, REPT adds a repeated string of 25 instances of ~0.
SPLIT then splits this at every tilde, which sends each number (and zero appended by REPT into its own column. Some rows at this point will have more columns than others, because you have a different numbers of listed items in each of your A2:A cells.
ARRAY_CONSTRAIN constrains the results into a regular grid with as many rows as there are non-null entries in A2:A and 25 columns. Based on your data samples, this should be more columns than you'd ever have listed items per cell in A2:A. Those REPT zeros will fill in all columns after your last actual value in A2:A.
MMULT can now act on the constrained grid, along with SEQUENCE to do row-by-row addition.

Array formula to fill a sequence of n numbers in a column

I have a Google sheet that has a sequence of numbers in the left column:
I'd like to write an array formula in A1 that automatically adds the next number in the sequence when a new row is added to the sheet.
For example, if I add a row 8, an 7 (the next number in the sequence) automatically fills in cell A8. I've tried this with the Sequence function, but that requires a pre-defined number of rows. I've also tried to do an array formula that uses something like "A3=A2+1", but I can't get the syntax to work in an array.
Try the following in cell A1:
={"Sequence";sequence(rows(A2:A))}

Google Sheets - Split Rows From Within One Cell and Drag adjacent Names to Match

I want the title in Cell A1 (Example Title) to be in a row next to each entry in Cell B1 so my desired result is:
In Excel OR Google Sheets. I only see "Split Text To Columns"
There are many ways to go about this. I'll suggest one of them.
Suppose that your raw data is in Sheet1!:A2:B. Add a "Sheet2" and make sure that A:B is empty. Then place the following formula in Sheet2!A1:
=ArrayFormula(QUERY(SPLIT(FLATTEN(SPLIT(REGEXREPLACE(CHAR(10)&Sheet1!B2:B,CHAR(10),"~"&Sheet1!A2:A&"|"),"~",1,1)),"|"),"Select * WHERE Col2 Is Not Null"))
To understand how this works, you need to work from the inside out.
First, an extra line break (CHAR(10)) is added to the start of each cell in B2:B. This is to create a uniform breaking point before every entry in the Column-B cells.
That now-uniform CHAR(10) is replaced by REGEXREPLACE with a concatenation of a tilde (~), the Sheet1!A2:A data for that row and a pipe symbol (|). Thus far, all of the virtually-held data for Sheet1!B2:B will still be within its original cell space.
SPLIT now splits that new data at the tilde to create individual horizontal cells that each now contain a separate copy of the Sheet1!A2:A label, a tilde, and one of the list items from Sheet1!B2:B.
This new virtual horizontal and vertical grid is then FLATTENed into one column.
Again, SPLIT is applied to separate the Sheet1!A2:A label from each of the now-individual Sheet1!B2:B entries, resulting in two columns.
'QUERY` is applied to keep only those results which are not null in the second column (ruling out any results for blank rows in the raw data or errors in column one formed by the previous functions, particularly those caused with the assumption that your number of individual data points in each cell of Sheet1!B2:B will vary).

How to count groups of cells with specific first and last characters wrapping those groups in Google Sheets?

I'm trying to count how many cells are included in specific groups of cells with specific first and last character as counting criteria.
With separate counts per group.
Here's what the end result should look like:
So that for each group of cells beginning and ending with the character "#" as first and last character,
the result should sum the cells/rows from the 1st cell to the last cell of that group.
So that for each group of cells beginning and ending with the character "^" as first and last character,
the result should sum the cells/rows from the 1st cell to the last cell of that group.
But the formula should exclude from count any group of cells not beginning and ending with the characters "^" or "#" as first and last character.
And ideally, display the sum result on the last cell of each group to the left (as in the B column on the above screenshot).
Up to now, I've only come up with the =ROWS() function to manually count the cells of those groups. But it is tedious.
For example, to deal with the screenshot example I would do:
=ROWS(C3:C5) (with 3 as result in cell B5)
Then
=ROWS(C8:C10) (with 3 as result in cell B10)
Nothing in cell B15
Then
=ROWS(C23:C25) (with 3 as result in cell B25)
Etc.
How to get these results with a single formula over the whole B column?
In the meantime I've found this post:
Sum vertically until empty cell on Google Sheets
Which answers partially the count part of my post.
It got me thinking and I figured these 3 steps.
1st step: count all the cells with len.
=IF(len(C2),1,"")
2nd Step: Adapt the formula:
IF(C2="",SUM(C3:INDEX(C3:C,MATCH(TRUE,(C3:C=""),0))),"")
Found on the post above, to this (taking into account more than one intermediary blank row (D1, D2, D3, D4, etc):
=IFS(OR(AND(D1="",D2="",D3="",D4=""),AND(D1="",D2="",D3=""),AND(D1="",D2=""),D1=""),SUM(D2:INDEX(D2:D,MATCH(TRUE,(D2:D=""),0))),TRUE,"")
Step 3: Moving down the step 2 formula into cell F4 and dragging down from there to have the results at the last cell of each groups (instead of on the cell above each group as with the original formula location on E2)
Remaining questions:
How to specify the sum function to operate on the specific characters ("#" and "^" on the example) basis instead of on the len Function of cell criteria?
How to change the zero cells results to blanks?
How to combine the 2/3 steps formulas into a single step formula?

Alternatively, following this post's answer by #shawnrad:
Count rows with not empty value
I used the LEFT and RIGHT functions here:
=IF((OR(LEFT(C1,1)="#",RIGHT(C1,1)="#",LEFT(C1,1)="^",RIGHT(C1,1)="^")),1,"")
to come to these results:
=IF(OR(COUNTIF(C2,"#*"),COUNTIF(C2,"*#"),COUNTIF(C2,"^*"),COUNTIF(C2,"*^")),1,"")
How to then apply the SUM function or any other function to sum the cells/rows per intervals between (and including) the returned results of the last function?

How to count rows between 2 non empty cells with their intermediary empty cells in Google Sheets?

I'm trying to count each rows of empty cells between two non-empy cells and adding the upper non empty-cell count (or the lower non-empty cells count) to the result when the empty cells/rows numbers are variable and irregular in this manner:
A1 Empty
A2 Non-empty
A3 Empty
A4 Empty
A5 Empty
A6 Empty
A7 Non-empty
(with A2 to A5 being irregular — could be any number of intermediary empty rows/cells — i.e. 10, 2, 30, 5, etc., and variable — could be located in any location within Column A)
The result should return as follow:
=IFS(
AND(A2="",A3=""),"",
AND(A2="",A3<>""),"",
AND(A2<>"",A3<>""),ROWS(A2),
AND(A2<>"",A3=""),ROWS(A2:UP TO NEXT NON-EMPTY ROW BENEATH (NOT COMPRISED (or minus the next non-empty row(-1)))
How do we program Google Sheets to count rows "UP TO NEXT NON-EMPTY ROW BENEATH (NOT COMPRISED (or minus the next ono empty row(-1)) when the emppty intermediary rows' count is variable/unknown for each occurence and irregular/can be any number of intremediary rows?
I have this data as example:
So far, I've come up with this partial solution:
=IFS(AND(A2="",A3=""),"", AND(A2="",A3<>""),"", AND(A2<>"",A3<>""),ROWS(A2), AND(A2<>"",A3=""),ROWS(A2:UP TO NEXT NON-EMPTY ROW BENEATH (NOT COMPRISED (or minus the next non-empty row(-1)))))
The expected result should return as follows:

Well I think you can do it a bit more elegantly using a reverse lookup. The idea is to sort the data on descending order of row number, then use a match with -1 as the last parameter, which is equivalent to searching from the end of the data for the next non-blank.
=ArrayFormula(iferror(if(A2:A="","",rows(A2:A)+2-match(row(A2:A)+1,
query(SORT({IF(A2:A<>"",row(A2:A),""),row(A2:A)},2,false),"select Col1"),-1)-row(A2:A)),1))
If you wanted to keep it simple and just use a pull-down formula, an ordinary match is enough:
=ArrayFormula(iferror(if(A2="","",match(true,A3:A<>"",0)),1))
(it still has to be entered as an array formula because A3:A<>"" is an array of True and False)
I found a solution with a Monster formula but with simple iterative logics, and up to 50 intermediary blanks (for more only need to make the formula larger).
What I was lookind for was simply to print the cells/rows count of intermediary empty cells between 2 non-empty cells + adding to the count either the 1st non-empty cell or the last non-empty cell.
So for example if cell A1 and cell A9 have 8 empty cells between them, then return 8+1 (or 10-1).
The logics used is simple:
probe how many possible empty cells there can be between each 2 non-empty cells counting the 1st non-empty as well within column A (in the formula below the possibility is up to 50 empty cells), and for each case return the intermediary rows -1 (the last row).

Can it be done in a simpler way but still with a single formula?
Thanks a lot for your next input!
In the mean time I did some simplification of my previous Monster formula and learned the ArrayFormula application in the process.
1st I tried to shorten the big blank cells intervals into ranges formulations to see if it still worked.
For example I changed:
AND(A1<>"",A2="",A3="",A4<>""),ROWS(A1:A4)-1,
into
AND(A1<>"",A2:A3="",A4<>""),ROWS(A1:A4)-1,
And it shortened my formula from this:
to this:
But then when pasting the new formula I got a #VALUE! error 'an array value could not be found'.
After further tests, I used the ArrayFormula and it worked by adapting the simple 'ranges' previously used to Arrays:
from this
AND(A1<>"",A2:A3="",A4<>""),ROWS(A1:A4)-1,
into this
AND(A1<>"",ArrayFormula(A2:A3=""),A4<>""),ROWS(A1:A4)-1,
With this final result:
=IFS(AND(A1="",A2=""),"",AND(A1="",A2<>""),"",AND(A1<>"",A2<>""),ROWS(A1),AND(A1<>"",A2="",A3<>""),ROWS(A1:A3)-1,AND(A1<>"",ArrayFormula(A2:A3=""),A4<>""),ROWS(A1:A4)-1,AND(A1<>"",ArrayFormula(A2:A4=""),A5<>""),ROWS(A1:A5)-1,AND(A1<>"",ArrayFormula(A2:A5=""),A6<>""),ROWS(A1:A6)-1,AND(A1<>"",ArrayFormula(A2:A6=""),A7<>""),ROWS(A1:A7)-1,AND(A1<>"",ArrayFormula(A2:A7=""),A8<>""),ROWS(A1:A8)-1,AND(A1<>"",ArrayFormula(A2:A8=""),A9<>""),ROWS(A1:A9)-1,AND(A1<>"",ArrayFormula(A2:A9=""),A10<>""),ROWS(A1:A10)-1,AND(A1<>"",ArrayFormula(A2:A10=""),A11<>""),ROWS(A1:A11)-1,AND(A1<>"",ArrayFormula(A2:A11=""),A12<>""),ROWS(A1:A12)-1,AND(A1<>"",ArrayFormula(A2:A12=""),A13<>""),ROWS(A1:A13)-1,AND(A1<>"",ArrayFormula(A2:A13=""),A14<>""),ROWS(A1:A14)-1,AND(A1<>"",ArrayFormula(A2:A14=""),A15<>""),ROWS(A1:A15)-1,AND(A1<>"",ArrayFormula(A2:A15=""),A16<>""),ROWS(A1:A16)-1,AND(A1<>"",ArrayFormula(A2:A16=""),A17<>""),ROWS(A1:A17)-1,AND(A1<>"",ArrayFormula(A2:A17=""),A18<>""),ROWS(A1:A18)-1,AND(A1<>"",ArrayFormula(A2:A18=""),A19<>""),ROWS(A1:A19)-1,AND(A1<>"",ArrayFormula(A2:A19=""),A20<>""),ROWS(A1:A20)-1,AND(A1<>"",ArrayFormula(A2:A20=""),A21<>""),ROWS(A1:A21)-1,AND(A1<>"",ArrayFormula(A2:A21=""),A22<>""),ROWS(A1:A22)-1,AND(A1<>"",ArrayFormula(A2:A22=""),A23<>""),ROWS(A1:A23)-1,AND(A1<>"",ArrayFormula(A2:A23=""),A24<>""),ROWS(A1:A24)-1,AND(A1<>"",ArrayFormula(A2:A24=""),A25<>""),ROWS(A1:A25)-1,AND(A1<>"",ArrayFormula(A2:A25=""),A26<>""),ROWS(A1:A26)-1,AND(A1<>"",ArrayFormula(A2:A26=""),A27<>""),ROWS(A1:A27)-1,AND(A1<>"",ArrayFormula(A2:A27=""),A28<>""),ROWS(A1:A28)-1,AND(A1<>"",ArrayFormula(A2:A28=""),A29<>""),ROWS(A1:A29)-1,AND(A1<>"",ArrayFormula(A2:A29=""),A30<>""),ROWS(A1:A30)-1,AND(A1<>"",ArrayFormula(A2:A30=""),A31<>""),ROWS(A1:A31)-1,AND(A1<>"",ArrayFormula(A2:A31=""),A32<>""),ROWS(A1:A32)-1,AND(A1<>"",ArrayFormula(A2:A32=""),A33<>""),ROWS(A1:A33)-1,AND(A1<>"",ArrayFormula(A2:A33=""),A34<>""),ROWS(A1:A34)-1,AND(A1<>"",ArrayFormula(A2:A34=""),A35<>""),ROWS(A1:A35)-1,AND(A1<>"",ArrayFormula(A2:A35=""),A36<>""),ROWS(A1:A36)-1,AND(A1<>"",ArrayFormula(A2:A36=""),A37<>""),ROWS(A1:A37)-1,AND(A1<>"",ArrayFormula(A2:A37=""),A38<>""),ROWS(A1:A38)-1,AND(A1<>"",ArrayFormula(A2:A38=""),A39<>""),ROWS(A1:A39)-1,AND(A1<>"",ArrayFormula(A2:A39=""),A40<>""),ROWS(A1:A40)-1,AND(A1<>"",ArrayFormula(A2:A40=""),A41<>""),ROWS(A1:A41)-1,AND(A1<>"",ArrayFormula(A2:A41=""),A42<>""),ROWS(A1:A42)-1,AND(A1<>"",ArrayFormula(A2:A42=""),A43<>""),ROWS(A1:A43)-1,AND(A1<>"",ArrayFormula(A2:A43=""),A44<>""),ROWS(A1:A44)-1,AND(A1<>"",ArrayFormula(A2:A44=""),A45<>""),ROWS(A1:A45)-1,AND(A1<>"",ArrayFormula(A2:A45=""),A46<>""),ROWS(A1:A46)-1,AND(A1<>"",ArrayFormula(A2:A46=""),A47<>""),ROWS(A1:A47)-1,AND(A1<>"",ArrayFormula(A2:A47=""),A48<>""),ROWS(A1:A48)-1, AND(A1<>"",ArrayFormula(A2:A48=""),A49<>""),ROWS(A1:A49)-1, AND(A1<>"",ArrayFormula(A2:A49=""),A50<>""),ROWS(A1:A50)-1)

Is there a way to have formula for first row automatically populate the cells below?

I use this formula to print a yes in a cell if there are numbers >0 in the range $T4:$AE4 OR in the range $AG4:$AR4.
=IF(OR(COUNTIF($T4:$AE4,">0"),COUNTIF($AG4:$AR4,">0")),"yes","")
Then I drag the formula down (as I need this for a 1000 rows).
Is there a way to just have the formula for the first row and automatically populate the cells below if the rows below match the criteria?
I tried with an ARRAYFORMULA but it's not working..
=IF(OR(ARRAYFORMULA(COUNTIF($T4:$AE,">0")),ARRAYFORMULA(COUNTIF($AG4:$AR,">0"))),"yes","")
Try this formula:
=ArrayFormula(if(TRANSPOSE(MMULT(COLUMN(T4:AE)^0,TRANSPOSE(if(ISNUMBER(T4:AE),T4:AE,0))))+TRANSPOSE(MMULT(COLUMN(AG4:AR)^0,TRANSPOSE(if(ISNUMBER(AG4:AR),AG4:AR,0))))>0,"yes",""))
Explanation
mmult is used to make sums of $T4:$AE and $AG4:$AR
ISNUMBER is to convert all not numeric values into numbers in order to use only numbers in mmult function.
COLUMN(AG4:AR)^0 will give a column of ones (1,1,1,1,1) -- just what we need for mmult function.
Transpose is used because in [mmult] function:
the number of columns for matrix1 must equal the number of rows for
matrix2
so we need to transpose part of formula.
By the way, here's this formula but transformed to count matches of the word "word":
=ArrayFormula(if(TRANSPOSE(MMULT(COLUMN(T4:AE)^0,TRANSPOSE(--(T4:AE="word"))))+TRANSPOSE(MMULT(COLUMN(AG4:AR)^0,TRANSPOSE(--(T4:AE="word"))))>0,"yes",""))
As you can see, the principles of the formula can be used to match count logic.
