Google Sheet Sparkline for every nth column - google-sheets

I would like to add a Sparkline to a sheet showing the evolution of a value.
My table looks like this
value #1
diff former value
value #2
diff former value
value #3
diff former value
Sparkline here
Sparkline here
Sparkline here
10
0
8
-2
9
1
My naive guess for the "Sparkline here" cell was (e.g. for C2)
=SPARKLINE($A3:c3)
and for instance for E2
=SPARKLINE($A3:e2)
unfortunately this takes the 0 (B3) and -2 (D2) into account.
Question: How can I create a sparkline that would only take every second value into account, i.e. 10, 8, 9.
Best if this could be done without adding a helper row/column somewhere else.

Try
=sparkline(filter(A3:F3, isodd(column(A3:F3))))
or, depending on your locale
=sparkline(filter(A3:F3; isodd(column(A3:F3))))
This will include only the 'odd' columns in the specified range.

How to get last number in a row on Google Spreadsheets

Spreadsheet
So Basically i'm building a sheet to monitor my NW, my problem is simple, i need the 2023 column to adapt to whatever last number on that row there is, for income i just sum values, but for example the total amount in my bank account is different every month, i just need 2023 column to track that, i update the 31 of each month.
With the formula you can see in the screenshot i have some problem, if i input the number alright, if the value is defined by other formulas it won't show up. Any solutions?
THANKS
Only formula present in the row
Another formula from the comments that seems to not work
I tried =INDEX(X:Y;1;COUNTA(X:Y)) but it won't update if the last number in the row is generated by other formulas.
You can use this formula to find the last value of each row in the range D2:O26. Adapt it as needed!
=BYROW(D2:O26,LAMBDA(e,XLOOKUP(1,INDEX(1/(e<>"")),e,,0,-1)))
Explanation:
BYROW creates an array formula in each row of the range. To each row, here denoted as e, the specified lambda function is applied.
INDEX(1/(e<>"")) returns an array with 1 in places where cell is not empty, and #N/A for empty cells.
XLOOKUP finds the index of the last occurrence (parameter search_mode set to -1) of 1 (first parameter) in the array returned by INDEX and returns corresponding value in the row.
You haven't show what formula in columns Jan-Dec causes you problems. If formula produce values 0 in case you don't what them to count, you can use countif to filter them out:
=INDEX(D13:O13,1,COUNTIF(D13:O13,">0"))
Same as your solution, this only works if columns are filled sequentially - if there are no gaps in each row, e.g. Jan and Mar are filled while Feb is blank.
If you need a more general solution, you may go with series of nested if(isblank(). Here is an example for the first three months, to get an idea:
=INDEX(D13:O13,1,IF(ISBLANK(F13),if(ISBLANK(E13),1,2),3))

How do I display the value of a cell in one column based on the value of a cell in a different column?

I have a simple table.
Column A are dates (rows 2 to 100) that reflect approximately the next 3 months.
Column C are percentages that range from 0 to 1 (i.e. 0% to 100%). The %s are derived from a =FORECAST function.
I want to query a date in column A based on a value of 100% in column C. However, the QUERY function does not work because it's reading the =FORECAST formula in column C rather than the text or value of "100%" itself. (In other words, if I remove the =FORECAST formula and type in the string "100%", the query works.
How can I pull the date value in Column A and keep the formulas used in column C?
This sounds like a lookup to find the value in column A on the first row where column C contains the value 100%. Try this:
=vlookup(100%, { C2:C, A2:A }, 2, false)
In the event multiple rows in column C may contain 100%, and you want to get all such dates, try this:
=filter(A2:A, C2:C = 100%)
In the event your forecast() numbers do not produce exact percentages but figures like 100.04%, use this:
=filter(Forecast!A2:A, round(Forecast!C2:C, 2) = 100%)
Thanks to everyone who contributed. My workaround was replacing the = sign with a > sign, as shown:
=QUERY(StageHist!A:H, "SELECT A WHERE C>.99")
since I couldn't figure out how to make the 100% figure an exact 100%. Apparently the =FORECAST formula is designed to give a result with 8 or 9 digits to the right of the decimal. (Although I'm sure that I could nest a =ROUNDing function inside of FORECAST and get an exact 1.0 value. (A project for another day!)

ARRAYFORMULA with SUM OR SUMIF?

I'm trying my to use ARRAYFORMULA with SUM (or SUMIF?). I basically want to lock C1 and always SUM from C1 down
=ARRAYFORMULA((SUM(C1:C2) + 1)&":"&(SUM(C1:C3))) IN D3 is this
=ARRAYFORMULA((SUM(C1:C3) + 1)&":"&(SUM(C1:C4))) IN D4 is this
Here is sample sheet and below is visual.
Col C is 50, 20, 16, etc.
Col D is 2:50, 51:70, 71:86, etc.
https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1DANMNEahYAoYBCQO1BsfXfUrgPj2mVWNKjn7VuYIIyI/edit#gid=0
units desired_result
50 2:50
20 51:70
16 71:86
8 87:94
2 95:96
If you could give a brief explanation on logic that'd be great. Google's is confusing (as always) and Youtube is limited.
This gives a result close to the one you want, but will need a bit of tweaking if you want to get 2:50 in F2 and 163:163 further down
=arrayformula(if(C2:C="","",sumif(row(C2:C),"<"&row(C2:C),C2:C)+1&":"&sumif(row(C2:C),"<="&row(C2:C),C2:C)))
I think it should be fairly self explanatory - the first part of the formula gives the sum for all rows where row number is less than row number of the current row and the second part of the formula gives the sum for all rows less than or equal to the current row. The slightly tricky thing is to realise that when the criteria part "<"&row(C2:C) of the SUMIF is itself an array, the SUMIF is evaluated separately for each array element and gives a new row in the resulting output array.
To lock a range, use $
=(SUM($C$1:C2) + 1)&":"&(SUM($C$1:C3))
Drag fill down.

Find the sum of each row in a spreadsheet

I'm new to Sheets and I don't know any terminology yet so I wasn't sure how to look this up.
If I have:
A1[=SUM(B1:1)]
How do I automatically copy that to A2 so that:
A2[=SUM(B2:2)]
And the same thing continues either indefinitely or until I declare a stopping point?
First of all, if you simply copy-paste the formula from A1 to A2 (or several cells below), it will automatically change as you want. This is how relative references work.
But it's also possible to get all the sums with one formula.
The following formula, entered in A1, will create sums of the first seven row in column A. To change the number of rows summed, replace 7 in B1:7 with another number.
=arrayformula(mmult(B1:7 + 0, transpose(B1:1 * 0 + 1)))
Explanation:
B1:7 + 0 coerces the entries to numbers (so that blank cells become 0).
transpose(B1:1 * 0 + 1) creates a column vector of 1s of suitable size.
matrix multiplication mmult by a column of 1s amounts to summing each row.
the wrapper arrayformula indicates that the operations are to be done on arrays.

Google spreadsheet formula to resolve string as a cell

Using google spreadsheets is there a way to evaluate a cell value as the row in a lookup operation? For example rather than =D2 to grab the value of D2, I want to evaluate the value of a cell and use it as the row to lookup another cell. I've looked at the google spreadsheet formula documentation and haven't been able to find a solution.
The below pseudocode illustrates what I'm trying to do.
A B C D
1 D
2 =[B1]2 10
3 =[B1]3 9
4 =[B1]4 8
Given the value of B1 is "D" I want cells B2, B3, and B4 to resolve to 10, 9, and 8 respectively.
You might be looking for something like this:
=INDIRECT(INDEX(B$1;1;1)&ROW())
the INDEX(B$1;1;1) gets content of B1 cell (the 1;1 is obligatory parameter, since you can feed INDEX with range and means: 1st row in range;1st column in range which is D
ROW() returns current row number, be it 2, 3 etc.
& concatenates both value, so the result is processed like "D" & "2" => "D2"
INDIRECT(reference) returns reference to a cell or an area (in text form) for which to return the contents.
see https://support.google.com/drive/table/25273?hl=en
Still, depending on what is the original problem, there might be better solutions. Above one is just straightforward answer to your question.
Bearing in mind the correctness and helpfulness of PsychoFish's advice on the use of INDEX() with INDIRECT(), and on the limited usefulness of any one solution for all problems, I think the following formula will work as well in this particular case:
=INDIRECT(B$1&Row())
