How to concatenate all occurrences of a Google Sheets Query - google-sheets

I have two columns of data and one other column which contains the search key. I am trying to fetch all results that contain a specific text which I'm able to do. The challenge is that I need to concatenate all the occurrences into one single cell.
I have tried the following formula:
=ARRAYFORMULA(IFERROR(VLOOKUP(F2:F,B:C,2,FALSE),""))
Which works but halfway through. So what remains is fetching all the other results into one cell. Currently, it's only fetching a single result.
In this image, the desired output is in F2 for the search key Paul in E2.

use:
=JOIN(,FILTER(B:B, A:A=E2))

Unique Filter multiple sheets with ArrayFormula

I have no idea how to title this post, apologize in advance.
I have several sheets with a number in Column I and a name centered and merged in columns A:H. I want to obtain the name from A:H of the corresponding value within I but do have duplicates, therefore I need the nth value when permitted. The formula I have so far works up to the point it does not autofill down as an ArrayFormula, so when I drag the formula down I get an #REF! error due to the fact that when a duplicate is found it cannot overwrite the formula below.
This will be easier to showcase: LINK TO SHEET.
Essentially, in the main sheet all the values in I:I of all the other sheets are obtained and sorted, then using that column I want to return the name that corresponds to the value, allowing for duplicates to work themselves out. I believe my issues resides in the $B1 part at the end of the formula preventing it from being an array.
=ARRAYFORMULA(UNIQUE(FILTER({Sheet2!$A$1:$A;Sheet3!$A$1:$A;Sheet4!$A$1:$A},{Sheet2!$I$1:$I;Sheet3!$I$1:$I;Sheet4!$I$1:$I}=$B1)))
Cell F2 on the Sheet1 tab:
=QUERY({Sheet2!A:I;Sheet3!A:I;Sheet4!A:I},"select Col1,Col9 where Col9>0 order by Col9 asc",0)

Formula for looking up and filtering data from a sheet

I want to do a complex formula using google sheets:
I have a list of place that will be visited by different people.
Some places are not to be visited, marked with /
Some places need to be assigned, marked with ?
Wanted outcome:
A list of cells that changes every day automatic.
An overview of who is going where that day and what needs to be assigned.
So I need a formula that can select a row based on today() and then filter out Persons in that row. Then for each person, another formula that looks up the first row in the table and puts duplicates together.
Example:
Wanted outcome:
Link to excel file, but it needs to work in google sheets too: xlsx
My solution is not the most elegant but it does the job.
First I build a column with date and unique persons or ? in this column:
=unique(sort(transpose(index(A1:H10,match(today(),A1:A10,0)))))
Then I find Places corresponding to these persons (I use filter function for it and then I use textjoin to keep them in single cell).
The formula is copied down as filter function does not accept a range and arrayformula as a filtering criterium.
My solution is available here:

I need to compare values between two sheets to find matching items

I need to compare two different sheets to find matching values between them.
In the first sheet, I have a list of order numbers and in the second one, I have a list that needs dispatching. Therefore, without scrolling through the sheet manually for the 1000+, I'd like to use a formula or conditional formatting in order to flag the values that are the same (or all of the different values) so I can simply copy and paste this into another sheet.
I have shared a link to a google sheet below if someone could help with this that would be very much appreciated.
Edit: The second sheet (on the google document) is the list of all orders and the first are the ones to be dispatched. I need to know which one's from the second sheet are missing from the first.

In second sheet in column B you could do:
=COUNTIF(Sheet1!A:A,A2)
IF the formula returns 0, it means that id number is not in your first sheet.

How to use AVERAGEIF in Google Sheets, only addressing columns with a specific text

In Google Sheets, I'm trying to use AVERAGEIF to calculate an average of only some of the columns in another table.
The columns to be included in the average are marked by some text in a specific cell (e.g. the first or last row of that column).
Some columns are to be included in several averages, so the text in the top\bottom row would include several words (effectively meaning I'll need some sort of substring check such as FIND).
I've tried using AVERAGEIF() in conjuction with FIND() but couldn't get this to work.
Any ideas?
Here is an example of how the data sheet looks like, and how I would expect it to work
You can use following formula:
=ARRAYFORMULA(AVERAGE(IF(ISNUMBER(SEARCH(D2,A2:A9)),B2:B9,"")))
Edit:
For table mentioned in comment you must change ranges:
=ARRAYFORMULA(AVERAGE(IF(ISNUMBER(SEARCH(E2,$A$1:$C$1)),$A$2:$C$4,"")))
You can use a query
=AVERAGE(QUERY(TRANSPOSE($A$1:$D),"where Col1 contains '"&D1&"'"))
Functions used:
AVERAGE
QUERY
TRANSPOSE

Google Query on the results from unique function

I am using google sheets and applied a UNIQUE function on a set of columns and want to apply a query function to take couple of columns and all rows from the the results to a different sheet, but I am getting blanks.
Can you please suggest what am I doing wrong?
Does the Query function not work on the results from UNIQUE function?
Open or create a sheet.
Select a cell.
Type = followed by the sheet name, an exclamation point (!), and the cell being copied.
For example, =Sheet1!A1 or ='Sheet number two'!B4.
Note: If a sheet name contains spaces or other non-alphanumeric symbols, include single quotes around it (as in the second example).
