Hi today i got a document shared by my friends. I've just found out that this document/spreadsheet doesn't work as normally. Some formula just doesn't work here.
for example , normally if i use :
={1,2,3}
it should normally create a row with 3 columns (3 cells each contains 1,2,3 respectively).
But in this document , i got : "formula parse error"
Also found out that when i try to use some formulas , for example the filter(), the help/documentation shows something really different.Pls check my screenshot, normally it uses comma (,) separator while this document using semicolon (;). I'm confused what is wrong ? I'm suspecting that this maybe about google sheet versioning. Am i correct ? or something else ?
If yes, how can i convert this old version document into the latest one ?
Thanks.
your sheet is not US-based, therefore you need to use:
={1\2\3}
ENGLISH SHEETS NON-ENGLISH SHEETS
ROW ARRAY , \
COLUMN ARRAY ; ;
FX ARGUMENT SEPARATOR , ;
language of the spreadsheet can be found in the settings:

I have a google form linked document with 2 sheets (1 with a linked form, 1 without). If I try using some formulas (SUMIF or QUERY) in the sheet that is not linked I get a "Formula parse error", additionally the syntax highlighting bugs out when typing a SUMIF formula.
For reference, this is the exact sheet and formula I am trying:
However, If I copy and paste the exact contents of this sheet to another google sheets document, then the SUMIF just works. Does having a google form linked sheet in the same document affect the other sheets?
you sheet has non-english locale therefore you need to use semicolon ; instead of commas , in formula syntaxes
if you use ; in non-english sheets = all is ok
if you use ; in english sheets = all is ok - all ; are autocorrected into ,
if you use , in english sheets = all is ok
if you use , in non-english sheets = you got a syntax error
also keep in mind that arrays {} have its own syntax universe...
in english sheets you use , to stack stuff next to each other
in english sheets you use ; to stack stuff under each other
in non-english sheets you use \ to stack stuff next to each other
in non-english sheets you use ; to stack stuff under each other
anyway, if you are not sure what to use either check the settings or you can take a hint from the formula tooltip helper box:
Working with the Base and Data tabs from this sheet: https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1OsSWQ_48VrcTU3pXGeJ_1syluKPVeVRune39UA9I3x4/edit?usp=sharing
Expected result is textjoin of all colors matching SKU separated by comma in column C on Base tab.
Expected result shows in Column D, done manually.
All formulas i've tried either put everything in one cell (C2), gives an N/A error(C4), just pulls the first result (C5) or it is just completely blank.
Please help? If you cannot, then thank you for reading anyway.
I did it on a new Sheet on the Spreadsheet that i took the liberty to create (hope it's ok)
For getting the colors I used QUERY: so it came out as QUERY(Data!B:G,"select G where B = '"&A2&"'". After that I just fed that to your JOINTEXT formula
So I have this spreadsheet
And I want to essentially grab the value to the right of the value.
So for example, if I look for x, I want to get the values of E9, and E15. So far this is my query:
=LOOKUP(D23 , $D$5:$E$16 , $E$5:$E$16 , FALSE)
But all I'm getting is:
Error
Formula parse error
Any idea what I'm doing wrong?
EDIT:
I thought I might be making a mistake, since I forgot I'd have to SUM, but after changing the key to tax it still doesn't work
I tried both LOOKUP and VLOOKUP, same problem in each
I also tried smth I found in a tutorial, but no luck
=VLOOKUP(D23 , $D$5:$E$16 , 2 , FALSE)
TO FUTURE SEARCHERS:
To figure out which "breaker" you need (, of ;), take a close look at the formula help. It's the blue question mark next to the fx
Try using SUMIF (Documentation) instead of LOOKUP or VLOOKUP.
Like so:
=SUMIF(D5:D16;"tax";E5:E16)
Also, as you are using a Polish "Locale", you should use ; instead of ,.
Reasoning: whether you have to use , or ; depends on the "Locale" of the spreadsheet, under File –> Spreadsheet Settings. For example, a US or UK "Locale" would use the former (,) while a Hungarian or Polish "Locale" would use the latter (;)
You should use SUMIF
=sumif($D$5:$D$16;"x";$E$5:$E$16)
So I have a document with 30k+ emails. The probleme is, during the export random characters appeared after the emails, something like name#email.com2019-10-10T0545152019-10-10T054515f or name#email.com00000000000700392019-11-28T070033f
My question is, how do i remove everything after ".com" or ".fr" in all the cells ?
You could try using REGEXREPLACE.
=REGEXREPLACE(A1,"\.com.*|\.fr.*", "")
Try
=REGEXEXTRACT(A1,".+\.com|.+\.fr")
Working from what other people added, you can get all emails from the column A and use regular expressions to get the values. Using ARRAYFORMULA you can do it in a single formula:
=ARRAYFORMULA(IF(A:A<>""; REGEXEXTRACT(A:A; ".+\.(?:com|fr)"); ""))
Rundown
ARRAYFORMULA allows to execute the formula to the entire column
REGEXEXTRACT extracts part of the string using regular expressions
IF conditional. In this case it's used to no execute when the cell is empty, preventing an error.
References
ARRAYFORMULA (Docs Editor Help)
REGEXEXTRACT (Docs Editor Help)
IF (Docs Editor Help)
Supposing your raw-data email list were in A2:A, try this in, Row 2 of an otherwise empty column (e.g., B2):
=ArrayFormula(IF(A2:A="",,REGEXEXTRACT(A2:A,"^.+\.\D+")))
In plain English, this means "Extract everything up to the last dot found that is followed by some number of non-digits."
This should pull up to any suffix (e.g., .com, .co, .biz, .org, .ma.gov, etc.).
I have to make a conditional formating formula with cross-sheet references.
Basically I have many sheets, one with existing words, and another one with words we have to add. I want to highlight in "Feuille 6" the words that are already in "Existant". I tried many formulas, I read the doc, I still can't figure it out.
Quick edit : equiv = match, and ligne = row, it's just google sheet translating words into French..
Here's the formula I think I should use, but it's not working
=EQUIV(A,indirect("Sheet1!A"&LIGNE()))
Here's what the Feuille 6 looks like
Again, there should be highlighted words in Feuille 6, like " Action ", which already exists in the sheet " Existant ".
I tried replacing "Sheet1 "with "Existant" too.
Any tip please?
Thanks !
Try:
Assuming the sheet Existant has values in columns A to Z , and you are highlighting cells in column A
=countif(indirect("Existant!A:Z"), A1)
