How to join large number of tabs in google sheets? - google-sheets

All sheets are labelled "dn1,dn2...dn100"
Only need the first 4 columns of each sheet
=query({dn1!A1:D;dn2!A1:D;...}

You need to enter the sheet names one by one, dn1 until dn100.
=query({dn1!A1:D;dn2!A1:D;...;dn100!A1:D},...)

google sheets- How to query multiple columns from a different sheet without having it combine the first column

I have a query that pulls specific ranges of columns from a different sheet. It is combining the top two rows. Any way to string together multiple ranges of columns from a different sheet and not combine the top row? thanks
example Query ( {'mainview'!, A1:L36, 'mainview'!n1:N36}) this does not work
First column not combined with second.
If you are just trying to combine two ranges:
={mainview!A1:L36,mainview!N1:N36}

Taking names from Multiple Sheets and having a function Count the number of times the name appears on the different sheets

Practically I have around 10 different sheets with names on these sheets in column A. I would like to in a separate sheet have the name and the number of times the name is found in the 10 other sheets. For example, the name Tom is posted three times in sheet-1, four times in sheet-2 and one time in sheet-3. I would like in a new sheet to be able to type "Tom" into column A and then in column B next to Tom show the number of times it was found in the multiple sheets. This needs to be a function that I can put a new name into column A and then it searches for the number of times it is found in the 10 different sheets.
I have done something similar but think I must be formatting wrong for multiple sheets. The function I'm using is =COUNTIF(Sheet1!A2:A,Sheet2!A2:A) this works for comparing just the 2 sheets and will show a correct number but when I try formatting for multiple sheets it will not work. enter image description here this is kind of a what the solution would be like except of course in different sheets. Also note that when adding a new name to the "master list" it should try to find the name. Sheets 1,2, and 3 will be updated automatically so manually I would write the name in the master, and it then gives me the number of times the newly added name appears.
You could try the following in your master sheet to get a list of all names present in all sheets against their count:
=query({Sheet1!A2:A;Sheet2!A2:A;...;SheetN!A2:A},"select Col1,count(Col1) where Col1 is not null group by Col1",0)
N.B. we are using an array literal (curly brackets & semicolons) to union the vertical ranges from each source sheet into one long vertical range to then feed into the QUERY function. If any of the source sheets changes then the master sheet will automatically update.

How to use CountIf in Google Sheets that only counts cells if there is content in another cell?

I need some help with a CountIf type formula in Google Sheets.
I have a large spreadsheet of a consolidated NHL schedule where I am going to enter stats that I care about. In a separate spreadsheet I am going to have averages for the stats I care about.
I want to have a formula that uses the Column A of Sheet2 to count the games in Sheet1 that have content in the other cells of Sheet1 (so, games that have been played).
If this works then Column B of Sheet2 will have the correct # of games played which is all the cells that have content/stats next to the teams name in Sheet1 so that I dont have to manually update that part and then the count of games played can go straight to the average formula.
The pictures are manually entered but just showing that since the Blackhawks have content next to their name in Sheet1, I would want Sheet2 Column B to read 1 based on a formula.
Thanks!!!
Sheet1
Sheet2
I would just do a COUNTA on a column (so that counts the rows in a specific column that are not blank), on a filtered table that match the team names:
So:
=COUNTA(FILTER(Sheet1!D:D,Sheet1!B:B=A3))

Removing an array/list of entries from google sheets by linking it to another workbook

I have 2 different google sheets with different number of entries in each. I want entries from sheet 1(smaller one//the one below)which only has a single column of text with about 20 entires, to be compared to sheet 2, and then also remove the duplicates in the second sheet. I am attaching some sample images.
As can be seen- the image below has the list of all the people i want to exclude from the image above which has about 9000 entries in total.
All the solutions I found can only compare 2 sheets with cells in a very particular order. Is there a way for me to remove entries in sheets by "blacklisting" another list so as to remove the entries as soon as theres a duplication
try:
=FILTER(A:Z, NOT(REGEXMATCH(C:C, TEXTJOIN("|", 1,
IMPORTRANGE("url_of_blacklist_sheet here", blacklist_sheet_name!A:A)))))

Countif and look up in two sheets

I am trying to use a variation of a countif formula across two sheets. I want to count the number of times an agent of mine is a "Yes" in column A based on how many times their name appears in column A. BUt I want to pull this information from one google sheet to a completely different sheet in another doc.
COUNTIF paired with IMPORTRANGE
It should be giving me a count of 3, but I am getting 0.
first you need to run your IMPORTRANGE formula alone and Allow access. then when sheets are connected you just do:
=COUNTIF(IMPORTRANGE("ID-or-URL", "Sheet1!A1:A"), "yes")
