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)))

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"))
I am trying to calculate the cost of products based on the amount of products sold (in one row) and the cost of each item (in another row).
I have written a simple formula, but every time I add or remove columns, it must be manually adjusted.
=IF(COUNT(E4:AC4)>0,(E4*$E$3+F4*$F$3+G4*$G$3+H4*$H$3+I4*$I$3+J4*$J$3+K4*$K$3+L4*$L$3+M4*$M$3+N4*$N$3+O4*$O$3+P4*$P$3+Q4*$Q$3+R4*$R$3+S4*$S$3+T4*$T$3+U4*$U$3+V4*$V$3+W4*$W$3+X4*$X$3+Y4*$Y$3+Z4*$Z$3+AA4*$AA$3+AB4*$AB$3+AC4*$AC$29), "")
This is an example of a problem best solved by ARRAYFORMULA
Take the table
______|_$5_|_$7_|_$2_|_$3_|_$5_|__TOTAL__
-----------------------------------------
Bob | | 2 | | 1 | | ?
-----------------------------------------
Alice | | | 2 | | | ?
-----------------------------------------
Eve | 1 | | 1 | | 3 | ?
How do we solve the total cost for each row?
In the total column for Bob's row (2), simply invoking
=SUM(ARRAYFORMULA(B2:F2*B$1:F$1))
Will accurately give us his total cost; $7*2 + $3*1 = $17.
Specifically, ARRAYFORMULA(B2:F2*B$1:F$1) will give us a range composed of B2*B1 | C2 * C1 | D2 * D1 ..., which you could use e.g. in line below Bob's order to show the price breakdown by item. SUM() adds those numbers together. You could further add to this formula to add taxes, gratuity, shipping, service fees, etc.
Now that we have this formula, we can simply copy this down the column into each new row in the 'Total' column.
When a new column is inserted to the left, the formula will be automatically adjusted by the spreadsheet to be the new range.
I want to apply conditional formatting so that all the rows which match another row exactly are highlighted.
Let's say I have a spreadsheet like the following
| | a | b | c |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | A | B | C | // Matches row 3 and 6
| 2 | A | B | A | // Matches row 5
| 3 | A | B | C | // Matches row 1 and 6
| 4 | B | B | C | // Matches no other row
| 5 | A | B | A | // Matches Row 2
| 6 | A | B | C | // Matches row 1 and 3
| 7 | B | B | A | // Matches no other row
All the rows except for row 4 and 7 would be highlighted.
For to rows to be considered duplicates, the value of each/every cell in a given row must exactly match the value of the corresponding cell (cell in the same column) in a duplicate row.
My attempt so far can only return the values of rows with only the first 2 cells being duplicate and returns the concatenation of all the duplicate values in each row, which is very far away from what I want.
CC = arrayformula(A:A&" "&B:B&" "&C:C) returns a new row which is the concatenation of A, B, and C, which is coercing the cell values into strings so "1" and 1 which are not the same appear to be the same, and also doesn't work across the entire row (could do If I just kept adding Columns, but would look terrible).
=filter(unique(CC), arrayformula(countif(CC, unique(CC)) > 1)) CC is the returned value from the previous equation
This would output
A B C
A B A
Then I could add a conditional formatting rule with a custom formula that Highlights a row if it's concatenated contents "Match" one of the return values from the previous equation, but I don't know how to do that, and the previous equation is already pretty flawed.
Ideally I want a solution that involves no string concatenation or entering in all column names.
Let's go over what is needed to create this function.
1st you need to get the rows as a string to be able to compare them like you did. I didn't use space like you did because it takes place, but you can keep them.
=ARRAYFORMULA(A:A&B:B&C:C)
The issue with that is that since the formula will be on 3 column, we don't want it to become C:C&D:D&E:E so we have to fix the column.
=ARRAYFORMULA($A:$A&$B:$B&$C:$C)
Yay! Now we have a list of string that represent the "value" of each row. We can now count for each line how many times they are found. I used A2 cause I guess you have a header, but if you don't, simply replace it with A1.
=COUNTIF(ARRAYFORMULA($A:$A&$B:$B&$C:$C);A2&B2&C2)
We also have to fix the column here or the function will only work on the 1st one.
=COUNTIF(ARRAYFORMULA($A:$A&$B:$B&$C:$C);$A2&$B2&$C2)
And now all that's left is check if you want to see thoses who are unique or thoses who have matches
=COUNTIF(ARRAYFORMULA($A:$A&$B:$B&$C:$C);$A2&$B2&$C2)>1
This solution doesn't involved converting the values to strings, but it still requires adding a function for every column, so it's almost there.
=countifs(arrayformula($A:$A=$A1),TRUE,arrayformula($B:$B=$B1),TRUE,arrayformula($C:$C=$C1),TRUE)>1
It's just a conditional for each column conditional = arrayformula($A:$A=$A1) in a countifs, countifs(conditional, true).
I just need to make it so it can take the column values as an array which i'm guessing will require an arrayformula
There is a MUCH simpler way.
Load Conditional Formatting (under Format).
Select "custom formula is" (way at the bottom of the formula list)
Use the formula "=countif(A:A,A1)>1", where A is the column that contains the cells you want to be formatted for duplicates.
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}.

I have a spreadsheet from a Google Consumer Survey. The survey captured demographics as well as the responses to a question. Acceptable responses could have chosen zero or more 'answers'. The response for each answer is in a unique column. For example,
user id | gender | age | income | answer 1 | answer 2 | answer 3 |
0001 | Female | 20-30 | 50-75 | [empty] | Right | Never |
0002 | Male | 20-30 | 30-50 | Up | Left | [empty] |
I would like to know how to correlate a column of demographic info with each of the possible answers. For example, I want to be able to answer questions like, Were males more likely than females to choose X for answer 1? and Which age group was more likely to choose Y for answer 2?
I prefer an answer using Google Sheets functions, but I am open to learning other ways to understand the data. Thank you for any help!
Good way is to use query function. Let's first assume, your data is stored in range A:G:
A | B | C | D | E | F | G |
user id | gender | age | income | answer 1 | answer 2 | answer 3 |
0001 | Female |20-30| 50-75 | [empty] | Right | Never |
0002 | Male |20-30| 30-50 | Up | Left | [empty] |
you may write simple query functions.
For example, to count all answer 1, group them by gender and age, pivot by answer 1:
=query(A:G,"select B, C, count(D) where not A is null group by B, C pivot E")
where not A is null -- prevents empty data to be used in query
count(D) -- can count any column, that wasn't already used by query
group by B, C -- must contain all selected items, except aggregates (count, sum, ets.)
pivot E -- will make all answers to show in separate columns.
The result will look like this:
Left Never Right Up
Female 20-30 1 1 1
Female 30-40 1
Male 20-30 1 1 1
Male 30-40 1
Please, look at complete Query Language Reference to learn more.
Have you tried using the Pivot Table function of Google Sheets?
Download the data in excel format after the survey is complete and open with Google Sheets
Select the tab with the resulting data from the Google Consumer Survey after it is run.
From the menu, select Data -> Pivot Table. This opens a new tab in your spreadsheet.
For the Values area of the pivot table, select User ID and from the "Summerize by" dropdown, select COUNTUNIQUE
For the columns and rows, select whichever dimensions you are interested in. For instance, in your example, you would pick
"Gender" and "Answer 1" as a row and column.
"Age" and "Answer 2" as a row and column.
This should answer these kinds of questions easily.
Hope this helps!
What I think I needed was the COUNTIFS function (in Google Sheets). Notice the plural use, which is different than countif (singular).
COUNTIFS allowed me to specify multiple criteria to make a score for each demographic segment. For example, I could count all the Males that responded Up in the answer 1 column.
