I am looking to build a formula that will check columns for a true value and if true return the first column name, in order...
Below is the formula I have been trying to build but it is not working as expected although I think I am close.
=ARRAYFORMULA(IF(HLOOKUP($A16,{Sheet1!$B$2:$E$5,Sheet2!$B$8:$E$11},{3,4,5},0)=TRUE,{Sheet2!$A$3:$A$5,Sheet1!$A$3:$A5,""))
Let me illustrate. Sheet 1 and Sheet 2 contain names with who has what (checkbox items). With a formula in cell B16 that will populate both to the right and down with all the names that contain a TRUE value in the looked up value (A:A).
Above image was manually typed in, the formula does not work at all.
Please help!
EDIT: Link to sheet
try:
=INDEX(IFERROR(VLOOKUP(A14:A, SUBSTITUTE(REGEXREPLACE(SPLIT(FLATTEN(
QUERY(SUBSTITUTE(QUERY(SPLIT(FLATTEN(
IF({B3:E5; B9:E11}=TRUE,
{B2:E2&"♦"&A3:A5&"♣"&ROW(A3:A5);
B8:E8&"♦"&A9:A11&"♣"&ROW(A9:A11)}, )), "♦"),
"select max(Col2) where Col2 is not null group by Col2 pivot Col1"),
" ", "♥"),,9^9)), " "), "(♣\d+)", ), "♥", " "),
SEQUENCE(1, COUNTUNIQUE(B2:E2, B8:E8))+1, 0)))

Here is another approach (similar to player0's, but different enough to warrant the separate answer:
=ArrayFormula(IFERROR(TRIM(SPLIT(VLOOKUP(FILTER(A3:A,A3:A<>""),REGEXREPLACE(SPLIT(FLATTEN(QUERY(QUERY(SPLIT(QUERY(FLATTEN({IF(Sheet1!B2:E<>TRUE,,Sheet1!B1:E1&"~|"&Sheet1!A2:A&",");IF(Sheet2!B2:E<>TRUE,,Sheet2!B1:E1&"~|"&Sheet2!A2:A&",")}),"Select * WHERE Col1 Is Not Null"),"|"), "Select MAX(Col2) where Col2 IS NOT NULL GROUP BY Col2 PIVOT Col1"),, 9^9)),"~"),"[,\s]+$",""),2,FALSE),","))))
I've added it into your spreadsheet in a new sheet ("Erik Help").
If you have more than two sheets' to include, just find this section of the formula and continue the pattern:
{ IF(Sheet1!B2:E<>TRUE,,Sheet1!B1:E1&"~|"&Sheet1!A2:A&","); IF(Sheet2!B2:E<>TRUE,,Sheet2!B1:E1&"~|"&Sheet2!A2:A&",") }

I tried searching for this question very hard, and only managed to find one solution that sort of works. Here's the reference: how to merge rows together if duplicate id (google spreadsheet)
His question is exactly the same as mine, and the solution partially works because sometimes google sheets have an error with custom functions and the cell just get stuck on "Loading.."
I am writing this question in hopes of being able to achieve the same results, without a custom function, using sheets native formulas.
Here's another reference to something similar to what I need: How to combine rows with same ID in Google Sheets?. It is only similar because I need the combined data to be in their own cells, and not merged into one cell.
In other words, the input:
Col A(ID) Col B(values) Col C(values)
1 sample1 sample2
2 sample2 sample4
1 newsample1 newsample2
Expected output:
Col A(ID) Col B(values) Col C(values) Col D(values) Col E(values)
1 sample1 sample2 newsample1 newsample2
2 sample2 sample4
Essentially, again it is exactly the same requirements as how to merge rows together if duplicate id (google spreadsheet), but looking for a solution using google native formula rather than a custom formula if possible.
try:
=ARRAYFORMULA(SUBSTITUTE(REGEXREPLACE(SPLIT(TRIM(FLATTEN(QUERY(QUERY(SPLIT(
FLATTEN(A1:A5&"×"&ROW(B1:C5)&COLUMN(B1:C5)&"¤"&SUBSTITUTE(B1:C5, " ", "♦")), "×"),
"select max(Col2) where Col2 is not null group by Col2 pivot Col1"),,9^9))),
" ")&"", "(^.+¤)", ), "♦", " "))
fix:
=ARRAYFORMULA(SUBSTITUTE(REGEXREPLACE(SPLIT(TRIM(FLATTEN(QUERY(QUERY(SPLIT(
FLATTEN(A3:A&"×"&TEXT(ROW(B3:H), "000000")&TEXT(COLUMN(B3:H), "000000")&"¤"&
SUBSTITUTE(B3:H, " ", "♦")), "×"),
"select max(Col2) where Col2 is not null group by Col2 pivot Col1"),,9^9))),
" ")&"", "(^.+¤)", ), "♦", " "))
Thank you beforehand for your kind response.
Problem: I am trying to do a sheet to sort out the 3 top categories of a given range as shown by the attached screen grab.
enter image description here
I only managed to get the results by using the "large" command. "=large(range,n)". Using this I got the value but what I need is the column index/id rather than the numeric values.
Any ideas on how I would go about achieving this?
Thanks for your reply.
Try the following maybe:
Formula in G2:
=TRANSPOSE(QUERY(TRANSPOSE({A$1:E$1;A2:E2}),"Select Col1 Order by Col2 desc limit 3"))
It's definitely possible in arrayformula.
Using vlookup, a sequence of numbers for the search key:
=arrayformula(sequence(max(if(A:E<>"",row(A:A),))-1,columns(A:E)))
...and a range of columns that are sorted by each row of numbers:
=arrayformula({
sequence((max(if(A:E<>"",row(A:A),))-1)*columns(A1:E1)),
sort({
array_constrain(int((row(A2:A)-2)/(columns(A:E)))+1,(max(if(A:E<>"",row(A:A),))-1)*columns(A1:E1),1),
array_constrain(iferror(split(flatten(if(A2:E<>"",A1:E1&char(9999),)&A2:E),char(9999)),),(max(if(A:E<>"",row(A:A),))-1)*columns(A1:E1),2)
},1,1,3,0)
})
The final formula for the solution, in cell G2:
=arrayformula(
array_constrain(
vlookup(
sequence(max(if(A:E<>"",row(A:A),))-1,columns(A:E)),
{sequence((max(if(A:E<>"",row(A:A),))-1)*columns(A1:E1)),sort({array_constrain(int((row(A2:A)-2)/(columns(A:E)))+1,(max(if(A:E<>"",row(A:A),))-1)*columns(A1:E1),1),array_constrain(iferror(split(flatten(if(A2:E<>"",A1:E1&char(9999),)&A2:E),char(9999)),),(max(if(A:E<>"",row(A:A),))-1)*columns(A1:E1),2)},1,1,3,0)}
,3,0),
max(if(A:E<>"",row(A:A),))-1,3)
)
It will work with blank cells in some of the rows.
The width of the source data is determined by:
=columns(A1:E1)
and the height of the source 'numbers' by:
=max(if(A:E<>"",row(A:A),))-1 (it needs to sit within an arrayformula).
you may use this superior formula:
=ARRAYFORMULA(ARRAY_CONSTRAIN(IFERROR(SPLIT(FLATTEN(SPLIT(QUERY(FILTER(
QUERY(SPLIT(FLATTEN(IF(A2:E="",,ROW(A2:A)&"×"&A2:E&"×"&A1:E1)), "×"),
"select Col3 where Col2 is not null order by Col1,Col2 desc"), COUNTIFS(
QUERY(SPLIT(FLATTEN(IF(A2:E="",,ROW(A2:A)&"×"&A2:E&"×"&A1:E1)), "×"),
"select Col1 where Col2 is not null order by Col1,Col2 desc"),
QUERY(SPLIT(FLATTEN(IF(A2:E="",,ROW(A2:A)&"×"&A2:E&"×"&A1:E1)), "×"),
"select Col1 where Col2 is not null order by Col1,Col2 desc"),
SEQUENCE(COUNTA(A2:E), 1, ROW(A2)), "<="&SEQUENCE(COUNTA(A2:E), 1, ROW(A2)))<4)&
FLATTEN(IFERROR(SEQUENCE(MAX((A2:E<>"")*ROW(A2:A)), 3)*
{"a", "a", 0})),,9^9), 0)), " ")), 9^9, 3))
Cannot figure out how to pull the results of a query with multiple rows and columns into single cells and find their details from my lookup table. Any help is greatly appreciated.
Trying this
=ArrayFormula(
QUERY({
QUERY({A4:A16,TEXTJOIN(",",TRUE,B4:C16)}, "SELECT Col1, Col2, Col3 WHERE Col1 MATCHES 'Core 1|Core 2|Core 3' LABEL Col1 'Core ID', Col2 'Full Result'")
}, "SELECT Col2 WHERE Col1 = Col1")
)
Sheet to help
It's always a headache trying to mix Query with ArrayFormula. They don't go well together.
I arrived at a nice formula, but the catch is that it relies on you sorting your data by Core Item first. You can easily achieve this with:
=SORT(A4:C16)
For this example, I placed this formula is cell N4. Then your resultant formula is:
=ArrayFormula(
{
"Core ID", "Full Result";
UNIQUE(FILTER(N4:N,N4:N<>"")),
SUBSTITUTE(
TRANSPOSE(
SPLIT(
REGEXREPLACE(
TEXTJOIN(
",",
,
UNIQUE(
TRANSPOSE(
IF(
TRANSPOSE(FILTER(N4:N,N4:N<>""))=FILTER(N4:N,N4:N<>""),
FILTER(O4:O,O4:O<>"")&
" ("&
VLOOKUP(FILTER(O3:O,O3:O<>""),A23:B53,2,)&
") - "&
FILTER(P4:P,P4:P<>"")&
" ("&
VLOOKUP(FILTER(P4:P,P4:P<>""),A23:B53,2,)&
")",
";"
)
)
)
),
",(;,)+",
";"
),";"
)
),
",",
CHAR(10)
)
})
It uses the Group Concatenate method I've adopted for stuff like this with UNIQUE, TRANSPOSE, and IF. This can probably be solved without using the precalculated SORT by substituting all instances of the N4:N, but doing it this way saves on computation time. If you need it gone, you can also hide the column or stow it in another sheet.
If you are ok breaking apart your formula then this would be an acceptable approach.
Start by Building your query criteria.
=ArrayFormula(
QUERY({QUERY({A4:A16,ArrayFormula(B4:B16&" ("&VLOOKUP(B4:B16,A23:B53,2,false)&") -
("&VLOOKUP(C4:C16,A23:B53,2,false)&")")}, "SELECT Col1, Col2 WHERE
Col1 MATCHES 'Core 1|Core 2|Core 3' LABEL Col1 'Core ID', Col2 'ALL Result'")},
"SELECT Col1, Col2 WHERE Col1 = Col1"))
Then in another column get the unique values and lastly, join the filtered values.
=UNIQUE(E4:E17)
=Join(Char(10),FILTER(F4:F12,E4:E12 = H4))
The downside to this is you will need to have multiple columns to achieve your desired result but it is easy to follow. Good luck!
I need to concatenate the city names that a person has been to into another cell but they have to be repeated every time the name of the person comes up.
I tried using COUNTIF but couldn't get me anywhere.
I don't wanna use VB code; just formulas/functions.
Any ideas?
Here's the link to my spreadsheet
use:
=ARRAYFORMULA(REGEXREPLACE(IFNA(VLOOKUP(B2:B,
TRIM(SPLIT(TRANSPOSE(TRIM(QUERY(QUERY({A2:A&",", B2:B&"♦"},
"select max(Col1) where Col1 <> ',' group by Col1 pivot Col2")
,,99^99))), "♦")), 2, 0)), ",$", ))
I have a column of search terms and would like to find out all the two-word phrases in this column and the frequency of each of all them. Does anyone know of a formula in Google Sheets that can help me accomplish this?
=ARRAYFORMULA(IFERROR(QUERY(IF(SPLIT(A1:A, " ")>0, A1:A, ),
"select Col2,count(Col2)
where Col2 is not null
and Col3=''
group by Col2
label count(Col2)'frequency'"),
QUERY(IF(SPLIT(A1:A, " ")>0, A1:A, ),
"select Col2,count(Col2)
where Col2 is not null
group by Col2
label count(Col2)'frequency'")))
pste in C2 and drag down:
=COUNTA(FILTER(A:A, SEARCH("*"&B2&"*", A:A)))
