I am struggling with the logic behind how I would make the second filter an if statement.
Here's the formula.
=sum(filter($C$2:$C$6,$B$2:$B$6=A10,$A$2:$A$6="BUY"))-sum(filter($C$2:$C$6,$B$2:$B$6=A10,$A$2:$A$6="SELL"))
The problem is not all the codes will immediately have a sell therefore there is no sell number to subtract so an error is caused.
Thanks!
You can try SUMIFS()
=SUMIFS($C$2:$C$6,$B$2:$B$6,A10,$A$2:$A$6,"Buy")-SUMIFS($C$2:$C$6,$B$2:$B$6,A10,$A$2:$A$6,"Sell")

I have been trying to extract the required data from a single cell and I have tried using some common formulas but its not working for all the cells exactly.
I would appreciate your help in this regards.
Google Sheet
Formula 1
=LEFT(A2,FIND(C2,A2)-1)
Formula 2
=SUBSTITUTE(TRIM(SUBSTITUTE(SUBSTITUTE(LEFT(RIGHT(A2,len(A2)-FIND(") ",A2)),6),")",""),"(","")),"|","")
I duplicated your tab and entered the following formula in cell E2:
=ArrayFormula(ifna(regexextract(A2:A,"\[\s\]\s(.+)?\s\((.+)\)")))
Explanation
\[\s\]\s - find [ ]
(.+)?\s\( - extract everything after it until the next occurence of (
(.+)\) - extract everything after the above ( and before the next occurence of )
EDIT: The first time I've tried #ztiaa answer it didn't work... don't know why. I kept investigating REGEX and gave it another try, and it did... You'd probably prefer that. I leave my answer just as a memory, and if it's useful for someone else in another scenario
Honestly, I don't handle regex as #ztiaa, but what I've found difficult about your example is that there are sometimes more than one opening parenthesis... that's why I looked for a way of finding the last appearance of "(". You can learn more about this workaround here
I changed "#" with "CUT HERE" in my example, just in case "#" may appear in your example. With that in mind, you can set these two formulas:
=ArrayFormula(IF(A3:A="","",MID(A3:A,5,FIND("CUT HERE",SUBSTITUTE(A3:A,"(","CUT
HERE",LEN(A3:A)-LEN(SUBSTITUTE(A3:A,"(",""))))-5)))
=arrayformula(if(A3:A="","",mid(A3:A,FIND("CUT HERE",SUBSTITUTE(A3:A,"(","CUT
HERE",LEN(A3:A)-LEN(SUBSTITUTE(A3:A,"(",""))))+1,FIND(")",A3:A,FIND("CUT
HERE",SUBSTITUTE(A3:A,"(","CUT
HERE",LEN(A3:A)-LEN(SUBSTITUTE(A3:A,"(",""))))+1)-FIND("CUT
HERE",SUBSTITUTE(A3:A,"(","CUT
HERE",LEN(A3:A)-LEN(SUBSTITUTE(A3:A,"(",""))))-1)))
The second one is really long because it has to find the amount of characters in between brackets. But it appears to work. Probably there's a more ellegant way with Regex, I repeat :)
Look in J and K of your example:
I have a column with lots of rows containing text. I want to highlight cells with over an x-amount of characters, but how? The code I'm using in combination with 'Conditional Formatting' is not working all the time. Sometimes it highlights text over the x amount and sometimes it doesn't, so there is something I'm doing wrong here. The x-amount in the example below is: 300.
you may also need to lock it like:
=LEN(E$1:E$170)>300
Silly me... I found the answer myself. I need to put in the same range in the formula as well. Formula with the range E1:E170 needs to be: =LEN(E1:E170)>300
I am studying for a test and I would really appreciate some help with this. The instructions are simply to write these formulas in a shorter version. I understand how IF works; if the expression is true, it returns the first value, otherwise the second one (they are separated by semicolons).
Given examples are:
=D$5+IF(C4>1;F8-A12/4-53;F8-A12/4-B12+1)
=IF(C4="test";A4-55+C13;22+(C13+B2+A4))
=C3*IF(AND(C4="P";C5="P");4*A4/(1-m);m*A4-n*A4);
=IF(B3<>0;2*C6;2*IF(B3=2;SIN(omega*t-$A$2);0)
Explanation will be greatly appreciated.
The first formula can be shortened to:
=D$5+F8-A12/4+IF(C4>1;-53;-B12+1)
It's just a matter of factoring out F8-A12 since it is used twice.
To test this, I filled in some numbers into the cells mentioned, and it produced the correct result.
Similarly in the second formula, A4 and C13 are used twice and they could be factored out to be used only once.
In the third formula, everything is getting multiplied by A4 so it could be factored out.
In the fourth formula, it looks like 2 is the only thing that could be factored out.
EDIT: Disclaimer about the XY problem: The actual, concrete problem I'm trying to solve is: How can I make "recursive" (is that the right term here?) formulas that use infinite ranges in Google Spreadsheets/Excel? The solution I'm working with involves the OFFSET() formula. I'm asking this question because I'd like to get an extensible understanding of the way formulas use and implement ranges, especially infinite ranges.
I'm working in Google Spreadsheets and trying to create ArrayFormulas that will automatically expand without needing to use the fill handle as new data is added in the requisite columns.
To do this, I want to use infinite ranges such as A2:A when I do calculations so that no matter how much data is added, I'll never have to drag-fill any data or formulas and I can just let the spreadsheet iterate and do the work.
I'm running into a problem, though, when I try to use these infinite ranges with the OFFSET() formula. What I'm trying to do is have each cell in the range pull values from a couple of the cells next to it (thus the offset), do a simple calculation with those values, and make that the new cell value. But because the formula interprets the instruction as attempting to offset an entire (infinite) range of values, it returns a #REF! error. Here's a shared example sheet that demonstrates what I'm trying to do.
https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1V3ldSBoCrzyVWcn66wFBkDOmxt6iuYgtiU_H4KQ6J14/
If for some reason you can't see the formulas, the formulas I'm using are:
C3 =ArrayFormula(Offset(C3:C, 0, -1) - Offset(C3:C, -1, -1))
F4 =Arrayformula(Offset(F3:F, 0, -1) + Offset(F3:F, -1, 0))
Both of these return a #REF! error. C3's alt-text reads: "Error: Result was not automatically expanded, please insert more rows (1)." F3's alt-text reads: "Error: Circular dependency detected."
I'm decently confident why these don't work - you're apparently not allowed to use and refer to ranges this way. I don't, however, know how to fix this.
The two use-cases in the spreadsheet are essentially the same thing, backwards. Chances are if I can figure out one I can reverse-engineer it to work for the other one, but I've had no luck so far.
I've Googled around a lot and while I've never found anything that solves this problem, a lot of similar problems seem to be solved by using the INDIRECT() function. I can't understand how this would apply here, though, that function seems to be strictly for parsing values dynamically from cells with variable input.
(I should probably mention that this data is on a back end sheet and it's getting pulled on another sheet to display some charts on the front end. I wouldn't ask a question here if this data was the only thing involved.)
Any help or a step in the right direction would be appreciated.
If I'm understanding your question, one way to make an offset function expand automatically is to attach a count function, eg. in excel
=offset(C2,,,counta(C:C))
However, this will give you a circular reference error. To address this issue, this is one solution that I have used:
"OFFSET(C3,,,MATCH(9.99999999999999E+307,OFFSET(C3,,,ROWS(C:C)-ROW(C3))))"
This function passes an array based on the last number cell in the column. And for it to be used properly, it needs to be wrapped in a function that can handle arrays, like SUM().
Long time Lurker reporting in! My issue is I'm not sure how to increment an Item no. It follows this format : LK0001 the row below it will be LK0002, below that LK0003 and so on I'm not sure how to automate this process, as you can tell I'm fairly new to google spreadsheets Sorry if it's already answered , I just can't seem to find it! Thanks!

First of all, I would suggest using the following ID build-up:
LK1000
This way characters (LK) can be separated from integers (1000). Otherwise you would face the problem, that if you increase LK0009 by 1 it becomes LK00010 and not LK0010
ID's need to be "hard coded", meaning =CONCAT or =A1+1 or =MAX(A:A)+1 are not allowed.
Either go by typing LK+max. number and use the ID as a text or go for the integers and use CONCAT when needed.
If you chose to go with the integers, you can easily increment them by doing this:
and then dragging it downwards, yielding:
