I have items in A column and dates in B column I need the second largest date in column D if item's name in Column is same
enter image description here
I tried large with with which gave me 0 as a result
Assuming the item to match is in C2 and the data is in A:B, try
=index(sort(filter(B:B, A:A=C2), 1, 0), 2)
Change range(s) to suit and see if that helps?

I have a table with three Columns:
Column A: name of Item,
Column B: Lowest value of series,
Column C: the Highest value of series.
enter image description here
What I want to achieve is:
Generate series of item sequence from lowest number to highest number per row
So Apple 7 9 will yield: "Apple_7", "Apple_8", "Apple_9"
Concatenate/Join such sequence per row into Column D
So
Item
From
Until
Result
Apple
7
9
"Apple_7, Apple_8, Apple_9"
Berry
3
8
"Berry_3, Berry_4, Berry_5, Berry_6, Berry_7, Berry_8"
Doing it all using one Arrayformula, so that new row added can be automatically calculated.
Here is example sheet: https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1R5raKmmt5-aOIorAZGHjv_-fdySKWjCMB_FRQwm1vag/edit#gid=0
I tried in Column D:
arrayformula(textjoin(", ",true,arrayformula(A3:A&"_"&sequence(1,C3:C-B3:B+1,B3:B,1))))
Apparently, the sequence function only take value from Column B and join it in first row.
Any help will be appreciated.
Try below BYROW() formula (see your file, harun24hr sheet).
=BYROW(A3:INDEX(A3:A,COUNTA(A3:A)),LAMBDA(x,TEXTJOIN(";",1,INDEX(x&"_"& SEQUENCE(INDEX(C:C,ROW(x))-INDEX(B:B,ROW(x))+1,1,INDEX(B:B,ROW(x)))))))
Here A3:INDEX(A3:A,COUNTA(A3:A)) will return a array of values as well cell reference from A3 to last non empty cell in column A (Assume you do not have any blank rows inside data). If you have blank row, then you have to use different approach. See this post by #TheMaster
Then LAMBDA() will apply TEXTJOIN() and SEQUENCE() function for each cell of B as well as C column.
SEQUENCE() will make series from start to end number and by concatenating A column and will generate your desired strings.
Finally TEXTJOIN() will join all those strings with delimiter to a single cell.
try REDUCE:
=INDEX(QUERY(REDUCE(, A3:INDEX(A:A, MAX(ROW(A:A)*(A:A<>""))),
LAMBDA(x, a, {x; JOIN(, LAMBDA(i, f, u, i&"_"&SEQUENCE(1, u-f+1, f)&";")
(a, OFFSET(a,,1), OFFSET(a,,2)))})), "offset 1", ))
I'm trying to work out a function in a Google Sheets cells to look at a column then search current row and "above" the current row to find a non number value (text).
I have data that in two columns B (item code or category) & C (item description).
I need another column to contain the categories for each item - column D. I'm looking for a formula for this column, ideally an Arrayformula as the data can change, there can be multiple items per category, some might be only 1 item, some might be 100 items per category. The arrayformula in column D will get the category from column B if it is not a number.
B column - categories and item codes, C column - item descriptions, target is D column a copy of the categories from column B.
I've tried this numerous times and usually give up, do it manually but it becomes teadious quickly. Looking forward to any help that might come from this! thanks.
In D2 try
=Arrayformula(if(isnumber(B2:B), vlookup(row(B2:B), filter({row(B2:B) , B2:B}, istext(B2:B)), 2), B2:B))
and see if that works?
Try in D1
={"Category";ArrayFormula(lookup(row(B2:B),row(B2:B)/if(isnumber(B2:B),0,1),B2:B))}
I wanted a ArrayFormula at C1 which gives the required result as shown.
Entry sheet:
(Column C is my required column)
Date Entered is the date when the Name is Assigned a group i.e. a, b, c, d, e, f
Criteria:
The value of count is purely on basis of Date Entered (if john is assigned a on lowest date(10-Jun) then count value is 1, if rose is assigned a on 2nd lowest date(17-Jun) then count value is 2).
The value of count does not change even when the data is sorted in any manner because Date Entered column values is always permanent & does not change.
New entry date could be any date not necessarily highest date (If a new entry with name Rydu is assigned a on 9-Jun then the it's count value will become 1, then john's (10-Jun) will become 2 and so on)
Example:
After I sort the data in any random order say like this:
Random ordered sheet:
(Count value remains permanent)
And when I do New entries in between (Row 4th & 14th) and after last row (Row 17th):
Random Ordered sheet:
(Doesn't matter where I do)
I already got a ArrayFormula which gives the required result:
={"AF Formula1"; ArrayFormula(IF(B2:B="", "", COUNTIFS(B$2:B, "="&B2:B, D$2:D, <"&D2:D)+1))}
I'm not looking for another Arrayformula as solutions. What I want is to know what is wrong in my ArrayFormula? and how do I correct it?
I tried to figure my own ArrayFormula but it's not working:
I got Formula for each cell:
=RANK($D2,FILTER($D$2:$D, $B$2:$B=$B2),1)
I figured out Filter doesn't work with ArrayFormula so I had to take a different approach.
I took help from my previous question answer (Arrayformula at H3) which was similar since in both cases each cell FILTER formula returns more than 1 value. (It was actually answered by player0)
Using the same technique I came up with this Formula which works absolutely fine :
=RANK($D2, ARRAYFORMULA(TRANSPOSE(SPLIT(VLOOKUP($B2, SUBSTITUTE(TRIM(SPLIT(FLATTEN(QUERY(QUERY({$B:$B&"×", $D:$D}, "SELECT MAX(Col2) WHERE Col2 IS NOT NULL GROUP BY Col2 PIVOT Col1", 1),, 9^9)), "×")), " ", ","), 2, 0), ","))), 1)
Now when I tried converting it to ArrayFormula:
($D2 to $D2:$D & $B2 to $B2:$B)
=ARRAYFORMULA(RANK($D2:$D,TRANSPOSE(SPLIT(VLOOKUP($B2:$B, SUBSTITUTE(TRIM(SPLIT(FLATTEN(QUERY(QUERY({$B:$B&"×", $D:$D}, "SELECT MAX(Col2) WHERE Col2 IS NOT NULL GROUP BY Col2 PIVOT Col1", 1),, 9^9)), "×")), " ", ","), 2, 0), ",")), 1))
It gives me an error "Did not find value '' in VLOOKUP evaluation", I figured out that the problem is only in VLOOKUP when I change $B2 to $B2:$B.
I'm sure VLOOKUP works with ArrayFormula, I fail to understand where my formula is going wrong! Please help me correct my ArrayFormula.
Here is the editable sheet link
if I understand correctly, you are trying to "rank" B column based on D column dates in such way that dates are in theoretical ascending order so if you randomize your dataset, the "rank" of each entry would stay same and not change based on the randomness you introduce.
therefore the correct formula would be:
={"fx"; INDEX(IFNA(VLOOKUP(B2:B&D2:D,
{INDEX(SORT({B2:B&D2:D, D2:D}, 2, 1),,1),
IFERROR(1/(1/COUNTIFS(
INDEX(SORT(B2:D, 3, 1),,1),
INDEX(SORT(B2:D, 3, 1),,1), ROW(B2:B), "<="&ROW(B2:B))))}, 2, 0)))}
{"fx"; ...} array of 2 tables (header & actual table) under each other eg. ;
outer shorter INDEX or longer ARRAYFORMULA (doesnt matter which one) is needed coz we are processing an array
IFNA for removing possible #N/A errors from VLOOKUP function when VLOOKUP fails to find a match
we VLOOKUP joint B and D column B2:B&D2:D in our virtual table {} and returning second 2 column if there is an exact match 0
our virtual table {INDEX(SORT({B2:B&D2:D, D2:D}, 2, 1),,1), ...} we VLOOKUP from is constructed with 2 columns next to each other eg. ,
we are getting the first column by creating an array of 2 columns {B2:B&D2:D, D2:D} next to each other where we SORT this array by date/2nd column 2, in ascending order 1 but all we need after sorting is the 1st column so we use INDEX where we bring all rows ,, and the first column 1
now lets take a look on how we getting the 2nd column of our virtual table by using COUNTIFS which will mimic the "rank"
IFERROR(1/(1/ is used to remove all zero values from the output (all empty rows would have 0 in it as the "rank")
under COUNTIFS we put 2 pairs of arguments: "if column is qual to column" and "if row is larger or equal to next row increment it by 1" ROW(B2:B), "<="&ROW(B2:B))
for "if column is qual to column" we do this twice and use range B2:D and sort it by date/3rd column 3 in ascending order 1 and of this we again need only the 1st column so we INDEX it and return all rows ,, and first column 1
with this formula you can add, remove or randomize your dataset and you will always get the right value for each of your rows
as for why your formula doesnt work... to not get #N/A error for vlookup you would need to define the end row of the range but still, the result wont be as you would expect coz formula is not the right one for this job.
as mentioned there are functions that are not supported under AF like SUM,AND,OR and then there are also functions which work but in a different way like IFS or with some limitations like SPLIT,GOOGLEFINANCE,etc.
I have answered you on the tab in your shared sheet called My Practice thusly:
You cannot split a two column array as you have attempted to do in cell CI2. That is why your formula does not work. You can only split a ONE column array.
I understand you are trying to learn, but attempting to use complicated formulas like that is going to make it harder I'm afraid.
I need to sum the daily sales of each product ASIN. Sounds easy but I can`t do it.
On the left, you can see the data. At the right, the empty table that I need to create.
use:
=QUERY(K2:M; "select K,sum(M) where M is not null group by K pivot L")
Use an IF statement on the columns that you want summed.
For your example, it would be something like this:
in Cell P2
=IF($L2 = P$1, $M2, 0)
This translates to
If ((the text in column L row 2 = the text in p1), take the units from column m row 2, else take 0)
The $ are there to indicate you always want that column/row. So we always want to evaluate column L at the start and Row 1 in the comparison.
Then at the last row of the sheet you have a SUM function for the column
=SUM(P2:P100)
or whatever the end is

I'm trying to make a spreadsheet to find the best price of a product in Google Sheets. I have the product description on B column, starting from the sixth row and below, the prices are on column E6 and on, (F6, G6, H6,...) Each supplier name is written on the fist row of their Columns. The lowest price is in column C and Column D displays the supplier with that price.
I've tried the min() function, but there's an issue, I need it to bypass 0 values.
On column C, I'm using this code =min($E6:$Z6) and for displaying the supplier I'm using =index($E$1:$Z$1,0,match(min($E6:$Z6),$E6:$Z6,0))
I'll add a screenshot of the problem.
wrap it into simple IF or IFERROR
=IF(MIN($E6:$Z6)=0, , MIN($E6:$Z6))
and the second one:
=IFERROR(INDEX($E$1:$Z$1, 0, MATCH(MIN($E6:$Z6), $E6:$Z6, 0)))
