Have used this forum to help solve a few spreadsheet issues in the past (so many thank for all the donated time and expertise).
Hoping the community can help with something that thought initially to be quite simple but I can't find the answer or solution anywhere.
I have a list of values and I want to create a frequency distribution list from this. I don't want to collect the data into ranges (i.e. histogram style) but I do need to know exactly how many instances there are of each value. Values in spreadsheet example below.

I don't need the data presented in a graph but if a graph is the easiest way to collate this then that's fine as I will need to routinely do this calculation.
Many thanks.

A 'group by' query should do this:
=query(B3:B,"select B,count(B) where B is not null group by B label B 'Value'")

I've come looking for help regarding this issue. I'm a teacher, and am trying to help my students get all their documents together for university applications. Google Sheets tell me that I'm not able to filter cells containing vertical merges, but I want to filter by the earliest application deadline (column G) so I know which student I have to chase up first, second, third, etc., without losing the rest of the data in the row.
Does anyone know a good way of doing this? I've created a sample of my spreadsheet: here.
Thanks in advance.
Try Insert > New sheet and this formula in cell A1 of the new sheet:
=query('2021'!A1:Z, "where G is not null order by G", 1)
The sorted list is for reference only. You will need to continue to do your editing in the 2021 sheet.
I would split the data between a couple of sheets.
In the first sheet you'd have important data that can be seen at a glance and filtered easily, like student names, universities and deadlines.
In the second sheet (which you can link by student name or id) you can put extra info like necessary documents, urls etc - something like this.
Alternatively keep all the info in one sheet but don't use split columns or rows - it isn't conducive for sorting, filtering and viewing data (and what's the point of data if you can't analyse it?)
So I've been stuck in this for some days, tryed a lot of search terms but all of them seems to bring me the same answers and i really need this:
I have a demand to join two different company's datas from the same owner, all of them have the same data sources (excel data sheets from FB ADS).
So they all share the same (keys/headers), like this:
COMPANY(1)'S ADS DATA
COMPANY(2)'S ADS DATA
So this way I need to put then togheter without having to join both of then on excel every time and also give him some nice data manipulation power.
The results should be something like this
By now I was trying to join data from the two companys but I couldn't really figure out how to properly do this so far I've made some tests and tryed reading a couple of articles and google data studio's help files. The merging data function seems to mess everything.
As a result of this merge, GDS gives me this fields:
Shouldn't I see like only one field labeled as cnt and cmp? I've noticed that GDS creates not one, but two data fields. If I try adding all data I need as key the left sheet turns all "0s". What Am I doing wrong here?
I have read your descriptions. It seems that you are looking for a solution to append both tables instead of merging the tables.
Do note that the data blending in GDS is a left outer join.
Hence, instead of doing the blending in GDS, I'd suggest you to append both datasets in Google Sheet in a separate tab before importing to GDS for visualisation. (assuming you don't mind copy-pasting the data into the Google Sheet).
Here is the formula to append both datasets in Google Sheets:
= {QUERY(A!A1:D1000,"SELECT A,B,C,D WHERE A <> ''",1);QUERY(B!A2:D, "SELECT A,B,C,D WHERE A <> '' ")}
I've created some dummy data in this google sheets and appended the data using the formula provided , you may take a look to understand further.
If you are unclear on the difference between merge and append, you may take a look in the Google Sheet documentation as well.
On a side note, I've screencast the process of answering this question and posted on my youtube channel. You may take a look if needed. (Thanks for the question and inspiration you provided for the video)
I'm collecting data from a Google Form that allows the user to choose which language they'd like the survey to be in, and based on his/her answer, the Google Form will utilize branching to lead them to the questions in the language he/she chose. For example, if they choose 'English,' a question they will answer is 'Full Name,' while if they choose 'Español,' they will answer 'Nombre y apellido.'
This leads the spreadsheet to collect the data from those questions into two separate columns. Is there a way to set up the spreadsheet so it organizes the data from the same translated questions into columns? The form will be receiving data constantly. I've tried stacking the columns using this formula template: ={A2:A5;D2:D5}, but the formula simply moved cells whenever data was added from the Google Form. I am collecting multiple points of data in 6 different languages, and I'm really hoping there's a way to organize this data to make it much less cumbersome to wade through.
If you have any ideas, please let me know! I'll try whatever you've got. 😅 Thanks!
You can union the column values, using open ranges, and then filter out the empty values using =QUERY() or =FILTER().
This way you'll be effectively joining values from different columns as one.
For example if you wanted to join data of columns A, D and E, you could do:
Using QUERY
=QUERY({A2:A;D2:D;E2:E}, "select Col1 where Col1 is not null")
Using FILTER
=FILTER({A2:A;B2:B;E2:E}, {A2:A;B2:B;E2:E} <> "")
I am trying to join gained level for names in a list.
Some names are the same person who has changed handle and the scores should be summed.
I have created a sheet to track levels for players in rankings over time.
My implementation is not as clever as I would like it to be.
Also, there is a problem with some players changing names.
Example Sheet
Currently, I have
=SORT(UNIQUE({}))
In order to produce just one of each name in a list
In the cell next to that I'm using
=IFERROR(INDEX(MATCH())) + IFERROR(INDEX(MATCH())) + IFERROR(INDEX(MATCH()))
to the sum of levels for each name across several ranges /sessions.
In the example sheet, N7 and N10 is the same person but my SORT, INDEX, as well as QUERY cannot handle this. I would like to (manually type in the names as strings that belong to the same person) and that the latest handle is the one used in query output together with the sum of all gains.
Any direction pointers or suggestions as to how I could improve my current implementation or even solve the problem I'm having would be appreciated.
=ARRAYFORMULA(QUERY({Ranking!CF4:CF200\ SUBSTITUTE(Ranking!CG4:CG200; "N7"; "N10")};
"select Col2,sum(Col1)
where Col2 is not null
group by Col2
label sum(Col1)'',Col2'Total levels gained since 15 April 2018'"; 0))
Might not suit you (could mean an extra column per month) but one way would be to to use a lookup table. That is enter whatever name suits you, lookup the 'standard' for that name and drive further analysis off that.
I'm having the following Issue and don't get the right formula. I don't even know, if it is possible.
I'm having three tables with different values. I want to calculate and sum up, which value appears how many times in all three tables. I don't really know the value when starting the process, so it should count the following: How often are which values shown in the tables.
Find a example of the problem here
so, the result should tell me, that overall, there are 3 values (a,b,c) and each value has a total quantity of 60.
Here, you'll find the result I'm looking for
I want to do that calculation with google spreadsheet, but I really don't get any solution.
Can somebody help? Thank you already in advance.
Try to use query function:
=QUERY({'Sheet1'!A1:B;'Sheet2'!A2:B;'Sheet3'!A2:B},"select Col2, sum(Col1) group by Col2")
