Index, Match, Maxifs giving me the wrong result (Google Sheets) - google-sheets

I use this formula in other sheets to get the latest value found, meeting a criteria set in another column. This time, it's repeating the value for the first match, although I got the criteria changing for each row.
Inventory Table
|Number | Date | Name | Code | Item | Unit | Qty | Type |
=arrayformula(IFERROR((INDEX('Inventory'!$A$7:$H;MATCH(maxifs('Inventory'!$B$7:$B;'Inventory'!$D$7:$D;$C7);'Inventory'!$B$7:$B;0);8));""))
I've tried all kinds of tweaks, but even so...
Thank you!
Antonio

try:
=ARRAYFORMULA(IFNA(VLOOKUP(C7:C;
SORT({'Contagem - Estoque'!D7:D\
'Contagem - Estoque'!H7:H\
'Contagem - Estoque'!B7:B}; 3; 0); 2; 0)))

Reference range when column matches string

Budget spreadsheet. Column A contains categories, Row 1 contains paycheck dates, and each cell from B2:AE91 contains numeric values ("how much I spent on categoryX during paycheckY").
Named ranges:
Column A - "Budget_LineItem"
Row 1 - "Budget_PayPeriods"
On another tab, I have a list of specific categories called "Funds," where I want to track how much I've saved so far each paycheck toward the category by adding up the category's values each paycheck up until TODAY().
For example:
| | A | B | C | D |
| - | - | - | - | - |
| 1 | Fund | Balance | Today: | =TODAY() |
| 2 | Auto Insurance | =SUMIF(Budget_PayPeriods,"<="&MAX($D$1:$D$2),Budget!F48:AE48) | Projected Date: | |
As you can see, I just have a static range for the "Auto Insurance" category: Budget!B48:AE48. This works, but I want a formula that looks up the adjacent value in column A against the Budget_LineItem range, and returns the row range from B:AE in the Budget spreadsheet.
Basically reads: "Go find how much I've saved/spent so far toward categoryX in the Budget tab, and add up all the values for each paycheck up through today."
I know I'm close, but I can't make INDEX, MATCH, or any of the LOOKUP functions do what I need. I just can't figure it out.
EDIT: Here's a link to an example: https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1L4mlMrRCWwDNPSiYHpmFiXU1zNOnga6gAziz_m2awKI/edit?usp=sharing
I also made a change to the OP formula in B2 as I realized it didn't work. I had tweaked it because my original formula had extra complexity and I was trying to KISS for this question. I changed it back to the more complex version so it works properly now.
delete range B2:B and use this in B2:
=INDEX(MMULT(FILTER(Budget!B2:4, Budget!B1:1<=MAX(D1:D2))*1,
SEQUENCE(SUMPRODUCT((Budget!B1:1<=MAX(D1:D2))))^0))
update:
=INDEX(IFNA(VLOOKUP(A2:A,
{Budget!A2:A4, MMULT(FILTER(Budget!B2:4, Budget!B1:1<=MAX(D1:D2))*1,
SEQUENCE(SUMPRODUCT((Budget!B1:1<=MAX(D1:D2))))^0)}, 2, 0)))

Google Sheets ArrayFormula that returns an index of the column that matched specified criteria for each row

I've been searching for several hours for what I thought would be a pretty straight forward problem but without any luck.
I need an array formula (needs to calculate for range without copying down the formula) that returns an index reference to the column containing a match for the passed criteria for each row. I don't need the value returned, which is what I've seen related problems solving for, just the column index. I will be using the returned index value to pull data from a bound matrix containing data such as allocated hours. I tried to use MATCH inside an ArrayFormula with a dynamic index for the lookup range but it doesn't increment the row as I would expect. Below is example data with the desired results shown in the first column (technically the results will be returned in a separate worksheet but included here for illustrative purposes), assignee is the criteria for which to find the matching column index across reviewers 1 - 3.
+---------+----------+------------+------------+------------+
| Results | Assignee | Reviewer 1 | Reviewer 2 | Reviewer 3 |
+---------+----------+------------+------------+------------+
| 2 | Paul | Tim | Paul | Sue |
| 1 | Nick | Nick | Linda | Adam |
| 3 | Bill | Ryan | Paul | Bill |
| 2 | Tom | Paul | Tom | Sarah |
+---------+----------+------------+------------+------------+
I've been struggling with this for a while so any guidance would be appreciated!
Try this:
=MMULT(ARRAYFORMULA(--('Table 2'!A3:D7) * --('Table 1'!A3:A7 = 'Table 1'!B3:E7)), SEQUENCE(COLUMNS('Table 1'!B3:E7), 1, 1, 0))
--('Table 2'!A3:D7) - places 0s instead of blanks in table 2 (needed for MMULT).
--('Table 1'!A3:A7 = 'Table 1'!B3:E7) - gives a table with 1s in cells corresponding to current reviewer, and 0s in all the other.
Then those two ranges are multiplied cell by cell. That gives a table with the right hours in cells with the reviewers' names, one value in a row.
MMULT gives a row wise sum, which is effectively a column of those hours from the previous step.
If you'll have a bigger table you'll just need to adjust Table 1'!A3:A7, 'Table 1'!B3:E7, and Table 2'!A3:D7 accordingly. The rest will remain the same.
The best I've been able to come up with so far is this SWITCH statement. It works but not so elegant
=ArrayFormula(SWITCH(Current_Assignee, INDEX(Queue,,1), "1", INDEX(Queue,,2), "2", INDEX(Queue,,3), "3", INDEX(Queue,,4), "4", INDEX(Queue,,5), "5"))

Google Sheets: How to eliminate duplicates in some columns and show only the most recent data in others?

I have a spreadsheet of books, with one row for every time a book was checked out (this is a small classroom library). Here are the columns:
BookTitle | Author | DateCheckedOut | CheckedOutBy | Status
=========================================================================
The BFG | Dahl, Roald | 6/1/2016 | Suzy | Out
The BFG | Dahl, Roald | 4/5/2016 | Johnny | Returned
The BFG | Dahl, Roald | 12/4/2015 | Wendy | Returned
Charlotte's Web | White, E.B. | | | Added
Wonder | Palacio, R.J. | 5/29/2016 | Joey | Returned
Wonder | Palacio, R.J. | 3/21/2016 | Mary | Returned
I want to query it to get only the row with the highest date value for each book and then display all columns of that row except CheckedOutBy.
I wanted to get a list of unique book title / author combinations and then join it with the original table the way I would in DB2, but it seems that joins like that are not possible in Google Sheets. I tried grouping and the max function, but when I get those things to work I either haven't been able to eliminate earlier dates or haven't been able to display columns that aren't being used in the aggregate function. My Google Sheets querying skills are not up to par :/
Is there a simple way to do this that I'm missing? I would appreciate any tips.
Here's a copy of that sample data from above in a Google Sheet.:
https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1J384S0fsc8tgxVMehPb_uyRNc5-6cQx-xKN-q8K8Gds/edit?usp=sharing
I created a new sheet and entered in cell A1
=ArrayFormula(iferror(vlookup(unique(Sheet1!A2:A), sort(Sheet1!A2:E, 3, 0), {1, 2, 3, 5}, 0)))
See if that works for you ?
BREAKDOWN:
The general idea behind the formula is to make use of the fact that VLOOKUP only returns the first match. We want that 'first match' to be the latest date per book.
So first we sort the table so that the latest dates are on top.
We 'lookup' the unique book titles in that sorted table and we return the columns {1, 2, 3, 5}.

Google Sheets Function to get value of adjacent cell based on key

I need some help figuring out some Google Sheets function. I'm trying to look for the value of an adjacent cell based on a key. The problem is that the table has several rows and columns to search for. For example:
| A | B | C | D |
1 | Alpha | 5 | Bravo | 10 |
2 | Charlie | 15 | Delta | 20 |
The list goes on for several more rows and colums. What I'm looking for for example, is when a search use "Delta" as my search key, it will return the value 20 for me. I appreciate your help. Thanks!
Here is the answer I got on the web application community:
https://webapps.stackexchange.com/questions/90198/how-to-get-value-of-adjacent-cell-based-on-key-if-the-table-is-split-into-multi
You can still use vlookup for this, by stacking the lookup tables into one using the array notation {first ; second; third} which means first above second above third. Example:
=vlookup("Delta", {A:B; C:D}, 2, False)
returns 20.
Try:
=offset(lookup("Delta",A1:D2),0,1)
You could use the following:
=ArrayFormula(INDEX($A$1:$D$2,MIN(IF($A$1:$D$2=$G$1,ROW($A$1:$D$2))),MIN(IF($A$1:$D$2=$G$1,COLUMN($A$1:$D$2)))+1))
This could by done in several ways.
Use RegEx
=regexextract(CONCATENATE(A1:D),F6 & "(\d+)")
where F6 is cell with lookup value i.e. "Delta"
Use lookup
=INDEX(A:D,MATCH(LOOKUP(F6,A1:D,A1:A),A1:A),MATCH(F6,INDIRECT(MATCH(LOOKUP(F6,A1:D,A1:A),A1:A)&":"&MATCH(LOOKUP(F6,A1:D,A1:A),A1:A)))+1)
where F6 is cell with lookup value i.e. "Delta", look at example.
MATCH(LOOKUP(F6,A1:D,A1:A),A1:A) is used 3 times, so it could be counted in separate cell.

Count rows with not empty value

In a Google Spreadsheet: How can I count the rows of a given area that have a value? All hints about this I found up to now lead to formulas that do count the rows which have a not empty content (including formula), but a cell with
=IF(1=2;"";"") // Shows an empty cell
is counted as well.
What is the solution to this simple task?
I just used =COUNTIF(Range, "<>") and it counted non-empty cells for me.
=counta(range)
counta: "Returns a count of the number of values in a dataset"
Note: CountA considers "" to be a value. Only cells that are blank (press delete in a cell to blank it) are not counted.
Google support: https://support.google.com/docs/answer/3093991
countblank: "Returns the number of empty cells in a given range"
Note: CountBlank considers both blank cells (press delete to blank a cell) and cells that have a formula that returns "" to be empty cells.
Google Support: https://support.google.com/docs/answer/3093403
If you have a range that includes formulae that result in "", then you can modify your formula from
=counta(range)
to:
=Counta(range) - Countblank(range)
EDIT: the function is countblank, not countblanks, the latter will give an error.
Here's what I believe is the best solution so far:
=CountIf(ArrayFormula(range<>""),TRUE)
Here's why in 3 easy steps
Step 1: Simple As Pie - Add Extra Column
The answer by eniacAvenger will yield the correct solution without worrying about edge cases as =A1<>"" seems to arrive at the correct truthy/falsy value based on how we intuitively think of blank cells, either virgin blanks or created blanks.
So imagine we have this data and we want the Count of non-blanks in B2:B6:
| | A | B | C |
|---|-------------|-------|---------|
| 1 | Description | Value | B1<>"" |
| 2 | Text | H | TRUE |
| 3 | Number | 1 | TRUE |
| 4 | IF -> "" | | FALSE |
| 5 | IF -> Text | h | TRUE |
| 6 | Blank | | FALSE |
If we relied on Column C, we could get the count of values in B like this:
=COUNTIF(C2:C6,True)
Step 2: Use FormulaArray to dynamically create Extra Column
However, consideRatio's comment is a valid one - if you need an extra column, you can often accomplish the same goal with an ArrayFormula which can create a column in memory without eating up sheet space.
So if we want to create C dynamically, we can use an array formula like this:
=ArrayFormula(B2:B6<>"")
If we simply put it in C2, it would create the vertical array with a single stroke of the pen:
| | A | B | C |
|---|-------------|-------|--------------------------|
| 1 | Description | Value | =ArrayFormula(B2:B6<>"") |
| 2 | Text | H | TRUE |
| 3 | Number | 1 | TRUE |
| 4 | IF -> "" | | FALSE |
| 5 | IF -> Text | h | TRUE |
| 6 | Blank | | FALSE |
Step 3: Count Values in Dynamic Column
But with that solved, we no longer need the column to merely display the values.
ArrayFormula will resolve to the following range: {True,True,False,True,False}.
CountIf just takes in any range and in this case can count the number of True values.
So we can wrap CountIf around the values produced by ArrayFormula like this:
=CountIf(ArrayFormula(B2:B6<>""),TRUE)

The other solutions in this thread are either overly complex, or fail in particular edge cases that I've enumerated in this test sheet:
Google Spreadsheet - CountA Test - Demo
For why CountA works the wonky way it does, see my answer here
For me, none of the answers worked for ranges that include both virgin cells and cells that are empty based on a formula (e.g. =IF(1=2;"";""))
What solved it for me is this:
=COUNTA(FILTER(range, range <> ""))
It works for me:
=SUMPRODUCT(NOT(ISBLANK(F2:F)))
Count of all non-empty cells from F2 to the end of the column
Solved using a solution i found googling by Yogi Anand: https://productforums.google.com/d/msg/docs/3qsR2m-1Xx8/sSU6Z6NYLOcJ
The example below counts the number of non-empty rows in the range A3:C, remember to update both ranges in the formula with your range of interest.
=ArrayFormula(SUM(SIGN(MMULT(LEN(A3:C), TRANSPOSE(SIGN(COLUMN(A3:C)))))))
Also make sure to avoid circular dependencies, it will happen if you for example count the number of non-empty rows in A:C and place this formula in the A or C column.
Given the range A:A, Id suggest:
=COUNTA(A:A)-(COUNTIF(A:A,"*")-COUNTIF(A:A,"?*"))
The problem is COUNTA over-counts by exactly the number of cells with zero length strings "".
The solution is to find a count of exactly these cells. This can be found by looking for all text cells and subtracting all text cells with at least one character
COUNTA(A:A): cells with value, including "" but excluding truly empty cells
COUNTIF(A:A,"*"): cells recognized as text, including "" but excluding truly blank cells
COUNTIF(A:A,"?*"): cells recognized as text with at least one character
This means that the value COUNTIF(A:A,"*")-COUNTIF(A:A,"?*") should be the number of text cells minus the number of text cells that have at least one character i.e. the count of cells containing exactly ""
A simpler solution that works for me:
=COUNTIFS(A:A;"<>"&"")
It counts both numbers, strings, dates, etc that are not empty
As far as I can see, most of the solutions here count the number of non empty cells, and not the number of rows with non empty cell inside.
One possible solution for the range B3:E29 is for example
=SUM(ArrayFormula(IF(B3:B29&C3:C29&D3:D29&E3:E29="";0;1)))
Here ArrayFormula(IF(B3:B29&C3:C29&D3:D29&E3:E29="";0;1)) returns a column of 0 (if the row is empty) and 1 (else).
Another one is given in consideRatio's answer.
You can define a custom function using Apps Script (Tools > Script editor) called for example numNonEmptyRows :
function numNonEmptyRows(range) {
Logger.log("inside");
Logger.log(range);
if (range && range.constructor === Array) {
return range.map(function(a){return a.join('')}).filter(Boolean).length
}
else {
return range ? 1 : 0;
}
}
And then use it in a cell like this =numNonEmptyRows(A23:C25) to count the number of non empty rows in the range A23:C25;
In Google Sheets, to count the number of rows which contain at least one non-empty cell within a two-dimensional range:
=ARRAYFORMULA(
SUM(
N(
MMULT(
N(A1:C5<>""),
TRANSPOSE(COLUMN(A1:C5)^0)
)
>0
)
)
)
Where A1:C5 is the range you're checking for non-empty rows.
The formula comes from, and is explained in the following article from EXCELXOR - https://excelxor.com/2015/03/30/counting-rows-where-at-least-one-condition-is-met/
A very flexible way to do that kind of things is using ARRAYFORMULA.
As an example imagine you want to count non empty strings (text fields) you can use this code:
=ARRAYFORMULA(SUM(IF(Len(B3:B14)>0, 1, 0)))
What happens here is that "ArrayFormula" let you operate over a set of values. Using the SUM function you indicates "ArrayFormula" to sum any value of the set. The "If" clause is only used to check "empty" or "not empty", 1 for not empty and 0 otherwise. "Len" returns the length of the different text fields, there is where you define the set (range) you want to check. Finally "ArrayFormula" will sum 1 for each field inside the set(range) in which "len" returns more than 0.
If you want to check any other condition, just modify the first argument of the IF clause.
Make another column that determines if the referenced cell is blank using the function "CountBlank". Then use count on the values created in the new "CountBlank" column.
