I have a table like this one here (basically it's data from a google form with multiple choice answers in column A and B and non-muliple choice data in column C) I need a separate row for each multiple choice answer.
Column A
Column B
Email
A,B
XX,YY
1#gmail.com
A,C
FF,DD
2#gmail.com
I tried to un-nest the first column and keep the remaining columns like this
enter image description here
I tried several approaches I found with flatten and split with array formulas but I don't know where to start really.
Any help or hint would be much appreciated!
You can use the split function on the column A and after that, use the index function. Considering the table, you can use:
=index(split(A2,","),1,1)
The split function separate the text using the delimiter indicated, returning an array with 1 line and 2 columns; the index function will return the first line and the first column from this array. To return the second element from the column A, just change to
=index(split(A2,","),1,2)
I think there's no easy solution for this. You're asking for as many combinations of elements as multiple-choice elections have been made. Any function in Google Sheets has its potentials and limitations about how many elements it can express. One very useful formula here is REDUCE. With REDUCE and sequences of elements separated by commas counted with COUNTA, you can stablish this formula:
=QUERY(REDUCE({"Col A","Col B","Email"},SEQUENCE(COUNTA(A2:A)),LAMBDA(z,c,{z;LAMBDA(ax,bx,
REDUCE({"","",""},SEQUENCE(ax),LAMBDA(w,a,
{w;
REDUCE({"","",""},SEQUENCE(bx),LAMBDA(y,b,
{y;INDEX(SPLIT(INDEX(A2:A,c),","),,a),INDEX(SPLIT(INDEX(B2:B,c),","),,b),INDEX(C2:C,c)}
))})))
(COUNTA(SPLIT(INDEX(A2:A,c),",")),COUNTA(SPLIT(INDEX(B2:B,c),",")))})),
"Where Col1 is not null",1)
Since I had to use a "initial value" in every REDUCE, I then used QUERY to filter the empty values:
I have this Google sheets
In column K, I only want to return values if they are pre-existing in Column E,F, Etc..
How can I do this knowing that I will add months 2023-02, 2023-3, etc?
Here's my example:
https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1FMBkmMKJuIn0qtxDzvaWG2x5IpcR92X4-G9b8DUd9Z4/edit#gid=0
You could use an array formula.
In I4 you can put
=ArrayFormula(IF(LEN(C$3:F$3), H4:L4+C4:F4/$C$1, ""))
and drag down
And enable iterative calculation as the formula depends on its earlier results (ok to limit to 1 iteration I think)
So I manufacture products and the challenge is I need to work out in a Google Sheets spreadsheet how many of each of my recipes (flower bouquets in this case) I can make with the current stock on hand.
I have a dataset which shows my stock qty (number of each flower) in column B, then I have my products across the top of the page in a row. Product 1 is shown in column C, Product 2 in D etc....
Here is the example.
Divide two arrays and return lowest number
As I have hundreds of products and also hundreds of different component parts I need to work out what formula can essentially divide these two arrays and return to me the MIN or lowest number, this is essentially the number of bouquets I can make.
Thanks in advance
I have tried experimenting with SUMPRODUCT as I wondered if you can use this for division as well as multiplication, but I cannot seem to fathom this
Use the following formula in C11:
= ROUNDDOWN(MIN(ARRAYFORMULA(IFERROR( $B2:$B9/C2:C9 ))))
You can then drag the formula to D11.
Alternatively you can use the new bycol function to calculate the complete array:
= BYCOL(ARRAYFORMULA(IFERROR( B2:B9/C2:D9 )), LAMBDA(x, ROUNDDOWN(MIN(x))))
I've been at this problem for a while now. I am trying to sum numbers under a specific column when the rows equal a certain text and then display that sum on a different sheet. So far I came up with this formula: =IF(EXACT(A2,Table!A2:A)=TRUE,SUM(Table!C2:C)); however the only problem is that is sums everything in column C (which makes sense).
I wish there was a way to do something like the following: SUM(Table!C2:C where EXACT(A2,TABLE!A2:A)=TRUE). I've also tried the SUMIF(), DSUM(), and QUERY() functions to no avail. I must be getting logically tripped up somewhere.
Figured it out: =SUM(FILTER(Table!E4:E, EXACT(Table!A4:A,A4)=TRUE)).
=sum ( FILTER (b1:b10, a1:a10 = "Text" ) )
// the above formula will help you to take the sum of the values in column B when another column A contain a specific text.
The formula is applicable only in Google Spreadsheets
How do you arrayformula() a sum() such as:
=sum(A1:H1)
I need to go down 1000 rows.
Another option:
=ArrayFormula(SUMIF(IF(COLUMN(A1:H1),ROW(A1:A1000)),ROW(A1:A1000),A1:H1000))
Of the two answers that work, Jacob Jan Tuinstra and AdamL, Jacob gives a better answer. Jacob's runs faster and is easier to remember.
However, why use crazy formulas when it is much easier to use Google Sheets to the fullest?
=ARRAYFORMULA(A2:A+B2:B+C2:C+D2:D+E2:E+F2:F+G2:G+H2:H)
In the foregoing formula, you can use named ranges instead of the ranges by reference.
=ARRAYFORMULA(range1+range2+range3+range4+range5+range6+range7+range8)
As well, you can sum across rows that span sheets rather than being stuck working with columns within the same sheet.
To fix the formula to block returning zeros for blank rows, use this:
=arrayFormula(if(isNumber(A2:A),A2:A+B2:B+C2:C+D2:D+E2:E+F2:F,G2:G,H2:H))

For a cool sum accumulation formula, see Otávio Alves Ribeiro's answer on Google Forums
This is what you are looking for:
=MMULT(A1:H1000,TRANSPOSE(ARRAYFORMULA(COLUMN(A1:H1000)^0)))
See this answer on Web Application I gave: https://webapps.stackexchange.com/a/53419/29140
Note: tried it on the new Google Spreadsheet, without succes.
with new functions in google sheets (since 20 Sep, 2022) all you need is:
=BYROW(A:H; LAMBDA(x; SUM(x)))
Summing A-H horizontal and running down for 523 lines:
=ARRAYFORMULA(iferror(mmult(A1:H523;TRANSPOSE(column(A1:H1))^0)))
if I look at this formula I really think the following might be simpler. Add this to Tools > Script Editor:
function row_sum(range_to_sum_per_row) {
var result_column = [];
for (var r = 0; r < range_to_sum_per_row.length; r++) {
var row_sum = parseFloat(0);
for (var c = 0; c < range_to_sum_per_row[r].length; c++) {
row_sum += range_to_sum_per_row[r][c] || 0;
}
result_column.push([row_sum]);
}
return result_column;
}
use this like so for performance reasons, where C:H is the range you want to sum up and A:A is a column that does not contain an empty string:
=row_sum(filter(C2:H, len(A2:A)>0))
If you want to be able to add rows and sum to the last row for all values in A1:H, you can use:
=ArrayFormula(SUMIF(IF(COLUMN(A1:H1),ROW(A1:A)),ROW(A1:A),A1:H))
Alternatively, if you want be be able to add rows and columns to the spreadsheet and sum to the last of both this can also be done. Paste the following code into any cell and it will create a column of summed values for all cells in each row below and to the right of pasted cell:
=arrayformula(SUMIF(IF(COLUMN(indirect(concatenate(REGEXREPLACE(address(row(),column()+1),"[^[:alpha:]]", ""),VALUE(REGEXREPLACE(address(row(),column()),"[^[:digit:]]", "")),":",VALUE(REGEXREPLACE(address(row(),column()),"[^[:digit:]]", ""))))),ROW(indirect(concatenate(REGEXREPLACE(address(row(),column()+1),"[^[:alpha:]]", ""),VALUE(REGEXREPLACE(address(row(),column()),"[^[:digit:]]", "")),":",REGEXREPLACE(address(row(),column()+1),"[^[:alpha:]]", ""))))),ROW(indirect(concatenate(REGEXREPLACE(address(row(),column()+1),"[^[:alpha:]]", ""),VALUE(REGEXREPLACE(address(row(),column()),"[^[:digit:]]", "")),":",REGEXREPLACE(address(row(),column()+1),"[^[:alpha:]]", "")))),indirect(concatenate(concatenate(REGEXREPLACE(address(row(),column()+1),"[^[:alpha:]]", ""),VALUE(REGEXREPLACE(address(row(),column()),"[^[:digit:]]", "")),":"),address(rows($A:$A),columns($1:$1))))))
Using Query
=INDEX(TRANSPOSE(
QUERY(TRANSPOSE(FILTER(A2:H,A2:A<>"")),
"select sum(Col"&JOIN("), sum(Col",SEQUENCE(COUNTA(A2:A)))&")",0)
),,2)
notes:
generating query string on the fly
Using DSUM:
=ARRAYFORMULA(DSUM(
TRANSPOSE(FILTER({A2:A,A2:H},A2:A<>"")),
SEQUENCE(COUNTA(A2:A)),{IFERROR(1/0);IFERROR(1/0)}))
notes:
{IFERROR(1/0);IFERROR(1/0)} is to make zero creteria for DSUM.
{A2:A,A2:H} -- added fake column for DSUM to mimic header column.
may be able to cahnge the formula into DMAX or DAVERAGE
Answer similar to #adamL suggestion, but removing the internal if.
=ArrayFormula(
sumif(ROW(A1:A10)*COLUMN(A1:H1)^0,ROW(A1:A10),A1:A10)
)
In this case I use ROW(A1:A10) * COLUMN(A1:H1)^0 to generate the row number matriz. To understand how it works, you can test just this part in your Google sheets:
= ArrayFormula(ROW(A1:A10) * COLUMN(A1:H1)^0)
So, with your row matrix, sumif can operate for each line, is the line has the matched row number, it will be summed up.
Let us not complicate this.
Simply put parenthesis in each of the array in the range.
=arrayformula( Sum( (A1:A):(H1:H) )
This spans not only upto 1000 rows but upto infiinity.
If you really want to limit then go
=arrayformula( Sum( (A1:A1000):(H1:H1000) )
