I am creating a search box on google sheet using =FILTER function. But my problem is it can only return the value in 1 column which is COL B. I want to know if it can return the data from column A as well? I tried to tweak the forumla but i am only getting errors.
Here's the formula that I created.
=filter(data!A2:B, SEARCH(D2,data!B2:B))
Any inputs will be much appreciated. Thank you
I've duplicated your "Search" sheet (renamed "Erik Help"). The formula there:
=IFERROR(FILTER(data!A2:B, SEARCH(B2,data!A2:A&"|"&data!B2:B)))
All I did was concatenate the two columns you want to search, forming one string. I interposed a pipe symbol to eliminate data bleed. (The pipe symbol could have been any symbol that is unlikely to turn up in your actual data.)

I am looking at using a filter to pull data from one Google sheet automatically to another Google Sheet.
The problem is, some of the values in the cells contain "," which mismatch my vlookups.
I have figured out the formula I need to automatically filter this, but I can't wrap my head around how to insert it with a filter formula.
EDIT: The below formulas are on a separate sheet to Data1 & Data2 called "Filter Sheet"
Here are the two formulas I'd like to combine:
=filter('Data2'!C2:C,'Data2'!A2:A="uk")
This one cleans up the values with "," in them:
if(REGEXMATCH(A8,","),iferror(VLOOKUP(index(split(A8,",",1),1,1),'Data1'!A2:A,1,0),iferror(VLOOKUP(index(split(A8,",",1),1,2),'Data1'!A2:A,1,0),false)))
**EDIT:The formula above looks to a different sheet (Data1) to see if the "split" result matches the VLOOKUP on the current sheet. If it does not then it goes through a loop to finally find a match on Data1 Sheet.
Essentially, I want the second statement to**
How do I insert this "clean up formula" so it can work with the filter formula values?
EDIT: How can I combine the filter formula with the "if(regex etc. formula" based on the conditions set?
OR is there an easier way of doing this?
If this helps with an easier method:
The reason why I use a filter formula is because not everything in Data Sheet 1 is found in Data Sheet 2, so this smooths that process out.
Your help is greatly appreciated and thank you in advanced.
Try this formula directly
=filter(Data2!C2:C,REGEXEXTRACT(Data2!A2:A, " (uk)")="uk")
I have no idea how to title this post, apologize in advance.
I have several sheets with a number in Column I and a name centered and merged in columns A:H. I want to obtain the name from A:H of the corresponding value within I but do have duplicates, therefore I need the nth value when permitted. The formula I have so far works up to the point it does not autofill down as an ArrayFormula, so when I drag the formula down I get an #REF! error due to the fact that when a duplicate is found it cannot overwrite the formula below.
This will be easier to showcase: LINK TO SHEET.
Essentially, in the main sheet all the values in I:I of all the other sheets are obtained and sorted, then using that column I want to return the name that corresponds to the value, allowing for duplicates to work themselves out. I believe my issues resides in the $B1 part at the end of the formula preventing it from being an array.
=ARRAYFORMULA(UNIQUE(FILTER({Sheet2!$A$1:$A;Sheet3!$A$1:$A;Sheet4!$A$1:$A},{Sheet2!$I$1:$I;Sheet3!$I$1:$I;Sheet4!$I$1:$I}=$B1)))
Cell F2 on the Sheet1 tab:
=QUERY({Sheet2!A:I;Sheet3!A:I;Sheet4!A:I},"select Col1,Col9 where Col9>0 order by Col9 asc",0)

I'm creating a crypto tracking spreadsheet and I'm getting some strange results using the LOOKUP function.
I have two named ranges:
The symbol range is called USDCoinSymbols
and the coin name range is called USDCoinNames
Here are some function results when I try using the LOOKUP function:
Apologies for the mixed casing on the search term. I was experimenting, but
it seems the LOOKUP function isn't case sensitive (for example, BNB returned the correct coin name).
I also tried the inverse, looking up a coin symbol with a coin name (2nd result) and that works fine.
I spent a good couple hours trying to figure this out.
Am I missing something or is this a bug?
Edit: Here is a link to sample spreadsheet and I'm using the CoinGecko API to get this data.
I'm trying to pull the coin name using the symbol to fill up a table I'm creating.
This is not a bug. It's just how LOOKUP works.
LOOKUP requires that all search-column information be in strict least-to-greatest order, so it wouldn't work with your data.
I've added a new sheet ("Erik Help") which is a duplicate of your first sheet. In my sheet, I deleted your LOOKUP formulas from B20:B27 and replaced them with one array formula. This formula uses VLOOKUP with FALSE as the final parameter, meaning that your data is NOT ordered in strict least-to-greatest order and that exact matches should be searched anywhere instead. This one formula fills all results for B20:B:
=ArrayFormula(IF(A20:A="",,IFERROR(VLOOKUP(A20:A,B2:C14,2,FALSE))))
If you are going to be applying this to a larger list elsewhere and want to use your named ranges, just replace B2:C14 with {USDCoinSymbols, USDCoinNames}.
References:
LOOKUP
VLOOKUP
You will need to use the VLOOKUP function instead
=INDEX(IFERROR(VLOOKUP(A20:A25, {USDCoinSymbols, USDCoinNames},2,0)))
This single formula is all you need.
Since your lists are NOT sorted you should use 0 in the function
(please -as always- adjust formula according to your ranges and locale)
I know how to apply conditional formatting if there are duplicate values in a column and I know how to use a formula to that references values from multiple sheets; however, what I want to do is apply formatting to a value if it is a duplicate in another sheet.
Example: I have sheets "friendlies", "healthcare", "IT" and "marketing" that contain names and contact information. Email addresses are always in column E.
Occasionally someone gets moved from a vertical, healthcare for instance, into the friendlies sheet.
When someone gets added to the friendlies worksheet, I want their email cell (in column E) in the friendlies sheet to turn red to remind me to remove them from the healthcare sheet.
Is it possible create a formula that looks to another sheet for a duplicate? I tried the below with no luck:
=countif(Healthcare!E:E,E1)>1, as well as =countif(Healthcare!E:Healthcare!E,E1)>1 and then finally =countif(Healthcare!E:Healthcare!E,Healthcare!E1)>1
Does anyone have any insights to help?
Presumably in connection with security, conditional formatting across sheets can be a bit of a rigmarole but the CF formula rule is very simple if you are prepared to make use of a helper column.
Taking a similar approach to what you tried, the helper column, say F should be populated with, in say F1, and copied down to suit:
=countif(healthcare!E:E,E1)+countif(IT!E:E,E1)+countif(marketing!E:E,E1)
Then it is just a matter of selecting ColumnE in friendlies and Format - Conditional formatting..., Custom formula is and:
=F1>0
with selecting red formatting of choice and Done.
An alternative to a helper column is to apply named ranges and INDIRECT:
=countif(indirect("hMail"),E1)+countif(indirect("imail"),E1)+countif(indirect("mMail"),E1)
hMail for example the name for ColumnE in healthcare.
I need to match two conditions on the cell Name and add the price information into cell price if both condition match. In other words, if Name contains both conditions, get the price. I tried different approaches using QUERY, SEARCH; FIND; VLOOKUP but I got stuck somewhere in the middle. Here's the example sheet (Google Spreadsheet solution preferred over Excel):
https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1zwG3_5Ctg_IZ1kI04Uee-qIvMrNQ4GmEwySmYcMKLfA/edit?usp=sharing
Maybe important: Both, the Name values as well as the whole reference table get pulled from other files dynamically. So I don't know anything concerning order or length of these columns in advance, not even if there are matches at all.
In addition to previous answer AND given the current set of data (in a Google spreadsheet), in B2 try:
=ArrayFormula(iferror(vlookup(regexreplace(A2:A; "[^A-Z]"; ""); {E2:E&F2:F\G2:G}; 2; 0)))
and see if that works ?
Based on your spreadsheet table:
you can try the following formula:
this formula works in excel not in google spreadsheets
=IFNA(INDEX($G$2:$G$6;MATCH(1;COUNTIFS(A2;"*"&$E$2:$E$100&"*";A2;"*"&$F$2:$F$100&"*");0));"NOT FOUND")
this is an array formula, so press ctrl+shift+enter to calculate the formula.
i think it will do the job.
