I'm trying to sum a trying column,
I need the row in the range to be dynamic
I have tried
=sum($B$9:CONCAT("B", ROW()))
and then drag it but I'm getting an error,
I also tried with the address and it didn't work
Spreadsheets have a simple way to express this sort of thing: absolute and relative references. Try this in cell C9:
=sum(B$9:B9)
Then drag down the formula cell to extend it to additional rows.

I am trying to create a formula that concatenates cell values if the ticked box is TRUE Please see attached image click here to see the image
What I am trying to do is to concatenate in one string columns B and C from every row if the checkbox in column A is selected, and have them separated by a ",". You can in cell G2 an example of the final result I am trying to achieve.
You can find the google sheet in this link https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1hwm4Q89qj3ko2vJ4OASWmgz4VQr_uUaP7E7AmVdl8Ks/edit?usp=sharing
Thanks in advance.
try:
=ArrayFormula(TEXTJOIN(",",1,IF(A4:A,B4:C,)))
You can try this sheet formula first.
=IF(A4="","",IF(A4=TRUE,TEXTJOIN(",",True,B4,C4),""))
This formula has nested IF's just for additional checker to check if the first column has a value and would return blank just for it to be dynamic. You can drag the formula down to adjust the cells.

The answer in this question Highlighting Duplicate Rows in Google Sheets works perfectly to highlight the duplicate cells in a column. What I'm wanting to do is one step futher and highlight the rows that each of those duplicated cells are in.
So if I've got duplicated cells in column c that are highlighted, how do I also highlight the rows?
Thanks!
Here's the current formatting I have to highlight duplicates in Column C.
Current conditional formatting equation
Change Apply to range to A1:Z (change Z to last column you want to highlight). And change the Custom formula to =countif($C:C,$C1)>1. You need to use the absolute reference ($).
Is it possible to grab the contents of a cell from one sheet and display them on another?
I have 4 sheets. And I want the cells of the third sheet to display the first column of the second sheet on the second column.
if you want to get range from another sheet just use:
Replace 'Sheet' and 'A2:C8' with title and range you want to refer
={Sheet!A2:C8}
For multiple sheets
Replace ';' with ',' for horizontal view:
={Sheet!A2:C8;Sheet1!A2:C8;Sheet2!A2:C8}
Add the sheetname exclamation point to your cell reference
e.g. sheet!A:1
Then drag from the first cell down to as many rows as you need.
Google Sheets allows reference between sheets. the syntax is pretty simple. consider a single cell: =<sheetname>!A2 for example. From there, you can drag down with the bottom right corner, and your your column will now be a copy of an arbitrary column in , in this case A
These are the annotations for cells in google sheets
Sheetname!A:1 For Relative Cells
Sheetname!$A:1 For Absolute Columns
Sheetname!A:$1 For Absolute Rows
Sheetname!$A:$1 For Absolute Cells
Yes. For specific ranges you can use IMPORTRANGE.
Is it possible to grab the contents of a cell from one sheet and display them on another?
Yes. It's even possible to get entire columns of data.
In sheet 2 A1,
=ARRAYFORMULA('Sheet1'!A:A)
The single quotes ' can be omitted, if the sheet name doesn't have a space . In other words, if you use Monthly Budget as a sheet name, then single quotes is mandatory.
I am working on a spreadsheet that tracks my running mileage. I've got all my miles in one column, but I want to be able to create a "Calendar View" of sorts, so I can track my miles on Mondays, Tuesdays, etc.
To do this, I am using: =Mileage!C13 for cell b2.
For cell B3, I want: =Mileage!C14.
Obviously, I will be using 7 columns for the calendar, but when I try to create a series in the row, it increases the column (instead of C14, it gives D13).
Also, I tried doing a series in the column instead, and increasing by 7 with no luck.
B2: =Mileage!C13. B3=Mileage!C20. If I select both cells and try to create a series, it gives me =Mileage!C14 instead of =Mileage!C27.
I hope this makes sense... any tips, or am I going about this completely wrong? Thanks!
You can reproduce the first 7 cells in a row fairly easily with the TRANSPOSE function:
=TRANSPOSE(Mileage!C13:C19)
However this still doesn't address the issue of being able to easily fill the formula down. Using OFFSET, we can rewrite the above formula to:
=TRANSPOSE(OFFSET(Mileage!C$13,0,0,7,1))
and then use the ROW function and a bit of maths in the second argument:
=TRANSPOSE(OFFSET(Mileage!C$13,(ROW(A1)-1)*7,0,7,1))
This formula you should now be able to fill/drag down successfully.
I am using Google Docs and unfortunately it does not have a GetPivotData function. As I add more categories and subcategories to my data, the Pivot Table data will be moving (column wise).
So I took the liberty to use formulas and find the Row and Column numbers for all my ranges, so regardless of any new data, my range will expand/contract/shift with the correct data.
Now all I have left is to use a VLOOKUP to feed the data for that specific subcategory. I have a cell that shows the value for my range.... my range is D7:S100... but like I said, if I add one more subcategory, then my range will be D7:T100 and my cell will reflect this change. I want to use this cell reference in my VLOOKUP so it can be dynamic in the range.
VLOOKUP(search_key, range, index, [is_sorted])
VLOOKUP(A1, cell reference, 2, 0)
Can the range ever be a cell reference so my vlookup's range be dynamic?
Use a Named Range. This is available in Google Spreadsheets from the Data menu.
Create a named range to represent your table of data.
Give it a name like myTable or whatever you want to call it, then you can use that Name in the formula:
=VLOOKUP("BOB",myTable,2)
If you need to expand the range, just go back in to the Named Range menu and edit the existing range.
I have not tested it yet but if this is like Excel, then you can even define a named range based on a formula (typically using the Offset, COUNTA, Index and some other functions to dynamically determine the size of the range). This is probably available to Google Spreadsheets but I have only done that in Excel.

dynamic?
There may be better ways of achieving what you need to do, but the short answer is yes - using INDIRECT.
B1: D7:T100
=VLOOKUP(A1,INDIRECT(B1),2,0)
