Is there a way to print out the GICS sector name for a specific share/ETF symbol in google sheets using the GOOGLEFINANCE commands or any other way?
Many thanks
I used this site to find several scraping methods to get data from finviz.
https://decodingmarkets.com/scrape-stock-data-from-finviz/
Extending their logic, I was able to get the company name, and the combined sector/subsector codes
(I originally used the website's scraping techniques to get Dividend data that GoogleFinance formula lacks...)
This formula gets the company name using US ticker symbol in cell C3:
=SUBSTITUTE(INDEX(IMPORTHTML("http://finviz.com/quote.ashx?t="&C3,"table",6),2,1),"*","")
Through trial and error, I found that table 6 has name and sectors. I then referenced the 2nd row and 1st column to get the name.
I found that row 3, column 1 has the sector, subsector and country combined as one value. They use a pipe | delimiter for each break.
Using the split function, I was able to split segment.
=SPLIT(SUBSTITUTE(INDEX(IMPORTHTML("http://finviz.com/quote.ashx?t="&C3,"table",6),3,1),"*",""),"|",true,true)
Its not available from Sheets

I have the following 2 google sheets
TEST 1
https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1mAssNMTGXcMcuYhjDWq6lNfWOdgUfI6FbGSWushGAMg/edit?usp=sharing
TEST 2
https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/15PAI8nnTzp1wQuvvkHxZ81kkeRrqHrvUH1vXiF9tya0/edit?usp=sharing
In Test 2 in cells B36,B37 and C36,C37 I am trying to grab information from TEST 1 to TEST 2
I have checked and checked and triple checked but I am not sure why it is not grabbing the information over.
Previously I had used "-" and "( )" in the table names so I decided to remove all of those and use only letters but it is still not working.
I also noticed that it was grabbing from the correct column (in my original google sheet), column D but it was grabbing the wrong information.
But I checked the name I was using to match "Room BS Harvest" and made sure it matched in both google sheets but still was not able to get it to work.
I have turned on show formula so you can see that I have formulas in Test 2 B36,B37,C36,C37
If you have any idea why it is not working please do let me know. I can't figure out why it is not getting the data over.
I myself would not approach things the way you are doing in this sheet. (I always recommend using a separate sheet within your destination spreadsheet where IMPORTRANGE brings in all of the data from the source location, and then using that single sheet in the destination spreadsheet as the reference for all other formulas, such as the ones you're trying to use.)
In addition, your sheets are inaccessible (i.e., "Comment only"). So neither I nor anyone else would be able to setup an alternative method for you to consider.
That said, and working with what you do have, here is how you might adjust the B36 formula...
Here is the formula you originally wrote (and which is not working):
=INDEX(importrange("https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1mAssNMTGXcMcuYhjDWq6lNfWOdgUfI6FbGSWushGAMg/edit#gid=0",$J$1&"!A4:H26"),MATCH($A36,index(importrange("https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1mAssNMTGXcMcuYhjDWq6lNfWOdgUfI6FbGSWushGAMg/edit#gid=0",$J$1&"!A4:A26"))),match($J$2,index(importrange("https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1mAssNMTGXcMcuYhjDWq6lNfWOdgUfI6FbGSWushGAMg/edit#gid=0",$J$1&"!A4:H4"))))
Here is my edit to that formula structure (which should work):
=INDEX(IMPORTRANGE("1mAssNMTGXcMcuYhjDWq6lNfWOdgUfI6FbGSWushGAMg",$J$1&"!A4:H26"),MATCH($A36,IMPORTRANGE("1mAssNMTGXcMcuYhjDWq6lNfWOdgUfI6FbGSWushGAMg",$J$1&"!A4:A26"),0),MATCH($J$2,index(IMPORTRANGE("1mAssNMTGXcMcuYhjDWq6lNfWOdgUfI6FbGSWushGAMg",$J$1&"!A4:H4")),0))
Notice that you only need the spreadsheets ID number for IMPORTRANGE, not the entire URL. This just makes reading such formulas easier.
You also had mismatched sets of parentheses. This was your biggest issue.
And I recommend using the third parameter of MATCH to indicate what kind of match you're looking for. (Here, I assigned 0, which means "exact match only.")
Hopefully, you can use that as a model for editing your other formulas.
As GOOGLEFINANCE() seems very limited in the cryptocurrencies it supports, are there any (free?) APIs that I can use to get data from?
Although I use GF() for ETH and BTC, I'm specifically looking for Price and Historical Closing Prices on ADA (Cardano).
I've searched the forum for suggestions, there aren't many and most are old. Binance's API seemed OK, but it gives prices in USDT instead of USD.
If anyone is interested, I found an API that offers a free key, although limited in the number of daily calls you can make: CoinAPI.
It seems very powerful, with quotes available in most currencies. So far, I've managed to get a current price:
Formulas shown in brown.
(1) shows the raw data returned, a two rows delimited by semi-colons.
(2) wraps a QUERY() around IMPORTDATA(), using offset 1 plus param 0, to not return the header row, then wraps all that in SPLIT() to separate the delimited text into columns.
(3) wraps (2) with INDEX() so I can get just the Price in the 4th col.
As this value will not automatically update like GOOGLEFINANCE(), I think I'll need to set a Trigger to do that.
I've also retrieved historical data, but I've yet to figure out how to split multiple rows of delimited text from the IMPORTDATA() function.
[Edit] See the solution to splitting multiple rows by #player0 at https://stackoverflow.com/a/69055990/190925.
I am trying to find a formula that will give me the count of unique dates a persons' name appears in one of two different columns and/or both columns.
I have a set of data where a person's name may show up in a "driver" column or a "helper" column, multiple times over the course of one day. Throughout the day some drivers might also be helpers and some days a driver may come in for duty but only as a helper. Basically all drivers can be helpers, but not all helpers can be drivers.
I've attached a link to a sample sheet for more clarity.
https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1GqNa1hrViX4B6mkL3wWcqEsy87gmdw77DhkhIaswLyI/edit?usp=sharing
I've created a REPORTS tab with a SORT(UNIQUE(FLATTEN)) Formula to give me a list of the names that appear in the DATA Tab.
I'm looking for a way to count the unique dates a name from the name (Column A of the REPORTS Tab) appears in either of the two columns (Column B and/or C of the DATA Tab) to determine the total number of days worked so I can calculate the total number of days off over the range queried.
I've tried several iterations of countif, countunique, and countuniqueifs but cannot seem to find a way to return the correct values.
Any advice on how to make this work would be appreciated.
I think if you put this formula in cell b7 you'll be set. You can drag it down.
=Counta(Unique(filter(DATA!A:A,(DATA!C:C=A7)+(DATA!B:B=A7))))
Here's a working version of your file.
For anyone interested, Google Sheets' Filter function differs slightly from Excel's Filter function because Sheets attempts to make it easier for users to apply multiple conditions by simply separating each parameter with a comma. Example: =filter(A:A,A:A<>"",B:B<>"bad result") will provide different results between the Sheets and Excel.
Excel Filter requires users to specify multiple conditions within parenthesis and denote each criterion be flagged with an OR condition with a + else an AND condition with a multiplication sign *. While this can appear daunting and bizarre to multiply arrays that have text in it, it allows for more flexibility.
To Google's credit, if one follows the required Excel Syntax (as I did in this answer) then the functions will behave the same.
delete what you got and use:
=QUERY(QUERY(UNIQUE({DATA!A:B; DATA!A:A, DATA!C:C}),
"select Col2,count(Col1),"&D2&"-count(Col2)
where Col2 is not null
group by Col2"),
"offset 1", 0)
I'm creating a crypto tracking spreadsheet and I'm getting some strange results using the LOOKUP function.
I have two named ranges:
The symbol range is called USDCoinSymbols
and the coin name range is called USDCoinNames
Here are some function results when I try using the LOOKUP function:
Apologies for the mixed casing on the search term. I was experimenting, but
it seems the LOOKUP function isn't case sensitive (for example, BNB returned the correct coin name).
I also tried the inverse, looking up a coin symbol with a coin name (2nd result) and that works fine.
I spent a good couple hours trying to figure this out.
Am I missing something or is this a bug?
Edit: Here is a link to sample spreadsheet and I'm using the CoinGecko API to get this data.
I'm trying to pull the coin name using the symbol to fill up a table I'm creating.
This is not a bug. It's just how LOOKUP works.
LOOKUP requires that all search-column information be in strict least-to-greatest order, so it wouldn't work with your data.
I've added a new sheet ("Erik Help") which is a duplicate of your first sheet. In my sheet, I deleted your LOOKUP formulas from B20:B27 and replaced them with one array formula. This formula uses VLOOKUP with FALSE as the final parameter, meaning that your data is NOT ordered in strict least-to-greatest order and that exact matches should be searched anywhere instead. This one formula fills all results for B20:B:
=ArrayFormula(IF(A20:A="",,IFERROR(VLOOKUP(A20:A,B2:C14,2,FALSE))))
If you are going to be applying this to a larger list elsewhere and want to use your named ranges, just replace B2:C14 with {USDCoinSymbols, USDCoinNames}.
References:
LOOKUP
VLOOKUP
You will need to use the VLOOKUP function instead
=INDEX(IFERROR(VLOOKUP(A20:A25, {USDCoinSymbols, USDCoinNames},2,0)))
This single formula is all you need.
Since your lists are NOT sorted you should use 0 in the function
(please -as always- adjust formula according to your ranges and locale)
In column B are listed IDs of Google Sheets. In column C are listed cells, from which I want to import data.
Screenshot of the table
In column D is shown the result of using IMPORTRANGE() by simply dragging it. e.g. for D1 it looks like:
=IMPORTRANGE(B1;C1)
for D2:
=IMPORTRANGE(B2;C2)
and so on.
In column E I want to display the same result but using ARRAYFORMULA that looks like:
=ARRAYFORMULA(IMPORTRANGE(B2:B4,C2:C4))
but the function displays only the data from the first spreadsheet.
People complain about this permissions issue a lot, but it's not hard to solve. What I do is have a sheet which I name "Splash sheet" into which I paste the URLs of the documents I wish to link. To its right is a column headed "permit to connect" which contains IMPORTRANGE formulas importing a single cell from each sheet -- usually a cell containing a confirmation code, number or document name -- on a sheet also named "Splash Sheet." For example,
=IF(B3="enter URL",,CONCATENATE(IMPORTRANGE(B3,"Splash sheet!A1")," ",IMPORTRANGE(B3,"Splash sheet!B1")))
So, when you first connect a spreadsheet via its URL, you get those messages telling you you need to connect, you click the Permit Access, the confirmation code/number/document name appears in the second column, and voilá, your sheets are connected forevermore! Now all your other IMPORTRANGEs referencing that URL will work, and you can use IMPORTRANGE formulas that reference the URL-containing cells on the "splash sheet."
As for the OP's original question, I came here seeking an answer to the same problem, and after more research have realized that we are attempting the impossible here. No way to do this an ARRAYFORMULA. No way around writing formulas that reference every single cell a document's URL may go into.
Problem is you can't make arrays of arrays in spreadsheets; that would involve multiple dimensions, and the medium is inherently two-dimensional. This is what people use databases for.
ARRAYFORMULA doesn't work when importing data (I think it relates to permissions). You could use something like this, =IFERROR(IMPORTRANGE(B5:B7;C5:C7)) and pre-fill the column first, but still there would be the permissions issue. Each new imported sheet needs it's permissions granted by a user.
TLDR: If I understand your intention correctly when you say you would like to see
=ARRAYFORMULA(IMPORTRANGE(B2:B4,C2:C4)), I believe you can make that
happen using the following.
=ARRAYFORMULA(IMPORTRANGE(
INDIRECT(ADDRESS(ROW(B2:B4), COLUMN(B2:B4)),
INDIRECT(ADDRESS(ROW(C2:C4), COLUMN(C2:C4))
)
Breakdown
Use IMPORTRANGE with INDIRECT to create ranges inside ARRAYFORMULA
Call INDIRECT with the ADDRESS function
Call ADDRESS with the ROW and COLUMN functions since they take ranges via ARRAYFORMULA
using IMPORTRANGE with INDIRECT
IMPORTRANGE's two parameters are the spreadsheet url stored in B2:B4 for this example and the range (e.g. sheet!A1:B2) stored in C2:C4.
Since IMPORTRANGE doesn't take a range reference directly as you mentioned, you'll need to build it for each row with ARRAYFORMULA using the INDIRECT function.
INDIRECT can be used to compose a cell reference using A1 notation, for instance
=IMPORTRANGE(INDIRECT("B" & 2), INDIRECT("C" & 2))
will produce the same result as
=IMPORTRANGE(B2, C2)
Since this produces the same result, we now just have to find a way to make INDIRECT work with ARRAYFORMULA
Use ADDRESS to build the parameters for INDIRECT
Next you want to use ADDRESS to build the A1 reference for INDIRECT. For the current purposes, ADDRESS takes a numerical value for row and column as parameters
=INDIRECT(ADDRESS(2,2))
will produce the same result as
=INDIRECT("B" & 2)
Since these two are interchangeable, now we just need to find a way to get the numerical row and column values out of ARRAYFORMULA.
Call ADDRESS using the ROW and COLUMN functions
From there, you can get the row and column indexes from standard A1 notation using the ROW and COLUMN functions. While this may seem like we're pointlessly going in circles, the difference now is that ROW and COLUMN perform as expected with the ranges provided by ARRAYFORMULA. So given that ADDRESS will return $B$2 using using either method below
=ADDRESS(2,2)
or
=ADDRESS(ROW(B2),COLUMN(B2))
we now know that
=ARRAYFORMULA(ADDRESS(ROW(B2:B4),COLUMN(B2:B4)))
will produce the following array of addresses
{ $B$2; $B$3; $B$4 }
Final Assembly
So when we put this all together, we get
=ARRAYFORMULA(IMPORTRANGE(
INDIRECT(ADDRESS(ROW(B2:B4), COLUMN(B2:B4)),
INDIRECT(ADDRESS(ROW(C2:C4), COLUMN(C2:C4))
)
where INDIRECT(ADDRESS(ROW(B2:B4), COLUMN(B2:B4)) is more or less interchangeable with what you might expect from B2:B4 inside ARRAYFORMULA and represents the url parameter
and INDIRECT(ADDRESS(ROW(C2:C4), COLUMN(C2:C4)) is roughly interchangeable with what you might expect from C2:C4 inside ARRAYFORMULA and represents the range parameter.
Suggestions on organization
I recommend using the indentation (Alt +Enter to create a new line ) above along with your indentation of choice to keep it easier to read. In the end it's just a bit more syntactic sugar and if spaces are used well it shouldn't be much harder to understand and make changes to 6 months later.
RE: Permissions - as mentioned by Atiq Zabinski, just placing a simple
IMPORTRANGE("http:/xxxx", "A1") somewhere on the sheet will provide a
means to know if the sheet is connected or not and the error message
should give you a context menu for connecting the sheet. You'll might
want to stay away from error handling in these scenarios as it will
slow down the process of connecting the sheets.
