Im trying to find a Row based on a value, and count the number of entries (Max 5) in that row.

=COUNTA(B1:GZ) will work if I knew the row for "John",
but im trying to get the row based on a value from another cell ...
Z
10
John
In this case Z10 pseudo: =COUNTA(Find Z10 in Col A, then count entries in Row starting at B to Z)
Any ideas ? Thanks.
Recommendation:
You can try this method
=COUNTA(QUERY(A1:Z, "Select * where A = '"&Z10&"'"))-1
Sample
Sample sheet:
John added on cell Z10
The recommended function added on cell Z11
Result: 4 was the result of COUNTA on the rows B:Z based on Column A that contains the value "John"
NOTE:
You may need to turn on Iterative calculation on your Spreadsheet settings.

I want to use Sparkline for a spreadsheet to show a trend of the last 5 soccer matches, where A and B are the goals, and C are the resulting points.
In column C, the points are only generated if values are entered for the goals and goals conceded, i.e. the columns are not empty.
A (Goals)
B (Conceded)
C (Points)
4

As you see, in row 3, column c is empty.
What I basically try to achieve, is to create a list where the last 5 entries which are not empty / null, are listed:
C (Points)
1

Is used this formula, but it somehow does not work
=query(J15:J114,"select * offset "&count(J15:J114)-5)
shorturl.at/gHPY9 (example result picture)
Tried to find a solution myself, but am stuck.
Best,
Feal
Use query() with a where clause, like this:
=query(
J15:J114,
"where J is not null
offset " & max(0, count(J15:J114) - 5),
0
)
A B C
1 4 Apple
2 5 Orange
3 6 Apple
1 4 Orange
2 4 Apple
3 4 Banana
I want to count each type of column C(if possible also plot it), ie output should be
Apple 3
Orange 2
Banana 1
Just more to a new columns and paste the folloing in its header:
=query(H2:H,"select H, count(H) where H != '' group by H order by count(H) desc label H 'Fruit'", 0)
It is show something like your expection in new two columns beside the original data
As an alternative to the solution already provided, you can make use of UNIQUE and COUNTIF.
Use UNIQUE in order to extract the names for each fruit from the C column
=UNIQUE(C1:C)
Use COUNTIF within an ARRAYFORMULA in order to count the number of times each fruit is present in the C column and later drag it down the E column:
=ARRAYFORMULA(COUNTIF(C1:C,D1))
Reference
UNIQUE Function;
COUNTIF Function.
I'm trying to count the number of occurrence in previous rows based on two conditional values using Google Sheet.
Let say this is my table :
Row A
Row B
Row C
Row D
1
John
Smith
2
Marty
Butler
3
John
Herbert
4
John
Smith
5
Philip
Rand
6
John
Smith
7
Marty
Butler
Is there a formula that exist that can count those occurrences. The idea is that when I log a new name, if Row B and C already exist it increase the value in Row D by 1 so I would know that it is the nth entry under that name. In my example, Row D would looks like this:
Row A
Row B
Row C
Row D
1
John
Smith
1
2
Marty
Butler
1
3
John
Herbert

Delete everything in Column D (including the header) and place the following in D1:
=ArrayFormula({"Header";IF(B2:B="",,COUNTIFS(B2:B&C2:C,B2:B&C2:C,ROW(A2:A),"<="&ROW(A2:A)))})
The "Header" text can be edited as you like.
The COUNTIFS reads, in plain English, "Count how many times this first and last name combination has occurred within only the rows up to the current row."
I have a ascending sorted list of irregular dates in Column A:A:
A B C D (A:A,A2:A) E (A:A,A3:A)
2017-11-09 10 10 NA NA
2017-11-10 11 21 1 NA
2017-11-14 15 36 4 5
2017-11-15 22 58 1 5
Column C:C is a rolling sum of B:B. I'm trying to get arrayformula in D:D/E:E to find the datedif between current row (starting date) and X rows above (end date):
=ArrayFormula(DATEDIF(B:B-(X Rows),B:B,"D"))
The goal is to find range of change in D:D over X amount of days:
D:D - D:D-rowX / datedif (A:A-rowX, A:A)
i.e for 2 days on row C4:
(C4-C2) / datedif(C4-2,C4,"D")
(58-21) / datedif(C2,C4,"D")
37 / 5 = 7.4
for 5 days on row C10:
(C10-C5) / datedif(C10-5,C10,"D")
for 15 days on row C20:
(C20-C5) / datedif(C20-15,C20,"D")
I'm trying to calculate X for 1,2,3,4,7,28 rows up which means the array has to start that 1,2,3,4,7,28 rows down.
Right now, the array bugs out to bad reference because the first starting date is DATEDIF(B-X,B1,"D") where B-X is a invalid negative reference. Arrayformulas with bad values instead of bad references seems to just skip past errors and starts working once input are valid. But I can't figure out how to skip bad references. I've tried forcing start date with INDIRECT but can't get it to recognize value as a date. I also tried DATEDIF(B:B, B:B+X,"D"), which spits out the correct numbers but results are offset by X rows. I've tried reverse sorting A:A, =ArrayFormula(if(len(A:A),DATEDIF(SORT(A2:A,1,0),SORT(A:A,1,0),"D"),"")) it produces a reverse orders list of correct answers that I can't figure out how to flip back.
Seems like I'm missing something obvious?
EDIT: tried to clarify original post
Is there a easy way to displace an entire column?
Alternative Solution?
The formula roughly works but is not aligned to the correct row:
C D E
1 2 3
1 2 3
1 2 3
1 2
1
I just need it to display
C D E
1
1 2
1 2 3
1 2 3
1 2 3
To get things aligned, I can put in cell on row2 of Column F:
=array_constrain(ARRAYFORMULA(D:D),COUNT(A:A)-2,1)
Or cell in row3 of Column G:
=array_constrain(ARRAYFORMULA(E:E),COUNT(A:A)-3,1)
But if I try trigger teh formula from row1 via:
=arrayformula(if(row(A:A)>=2,array_constrain(D:D,COUNT(A:A)-2,1)))
It label everythign >=2 row false and still render D:D without displacing the cells the proper number of rows:
C D
1 false
1 2
1 2
1 2
1
EDIT: I'm closing the request, ended up just using vlookup(B:B-X) which provided an approximate enough result to work for my needs.
Short answer
Add the following formula to D1
=ArrayFormula({"N/A";ARRAY_CONSTRAIN(DATEDIF(A:A,A2:A,"D"),COUNT(A:A)-1,1)})
And the following formula to E1
=ArrayFormula({"N/A";"N/A";ARRAY_CONSTRAIN(DATEDIF(A:A,A3:A,"D"),COUNT(A:A)-2,1)})
Explanation
The solution use ARRAY_CONSTRAIN to return just the required result values and use a the array notation to add the required N/A values for the rows that as it don't have a pair to calculate the date difference.
REMARK:
Please note that the DATEDIF functions use the column A for the references as this column is the one that holds the date values.
I wanted to use this query
=query(G2:I80,"select G,H,I where H=max(H) group by I",-1)
From this:
Cdd Cts T
NWH 4 A1
LBB 3 A1
MP 3 A1
DC 2 A1
AK 10 A10
CC 3 A10
SC 2 A11
JL 1 A11
VT 1 A11
To This:
T Cdd Cts
A1 NWH 4
A10 AK 10
A11 SC 2
Am I doing it right? Or I have to come up with something to manually count them?
Try
=ArrayFormula(iferror(vlookup(unique(I2:I), sort({I2:I, G2:H},3,), {1,2,3},0)))
and see if that works for you ?
How does it work:
1: with sort() a new 'virtual' table is created with col I as the first column. That new table is sorted on col H (latest dates appear on top).
2: a list with the unique values is retrieved from col I (with the unique function)
3: that list is 'looked up' (with vlookup). When a match is found it retrieves the first 3 columns ({1, 2, 3} or: col I, G and H). Vlookup only returns the first match found: since our list is sorted, that will be the entry with the latest date.
4: if nothing is found an error is suppressed with the iferror().
