Here's the basic idea:
I have a list of foods that are on the left side, and when I decide which foods I want, I then decide what order I want them in. After they are in the right order, G7-J7 (Linked Foods) should automatically place a hyperlink based on what food I selected in the Order of Food. How it pulls these links should be from the List of Foods. Then, at the bottom, there are 4 images that will automatically be shown based on what link is in the Linked Food boxes.
Basically, what I did, was I made the Linked Food 1 formula =IF(G3 = "Ramen", D2, "No Link Found").
And then for the Food 1 image, I did =iferror(arrayformula(image(G7)),"")
The image should automatically be there for whatever link I put in the G7 box now, but the G7 box is the main issue I'm having.
Everything works, but this is only an example. In my REAL project I'm doing, I have tons and tons of "foods" and I can't just put =IF(G3 = "Ramen", "Lemonade", "Tofu", "Fruit Punch", ...and the hundreds of others.
SO...What I'm wondering, is if there's an easier way to make these links automatically change, without having to manually put every single item from the List of Foods into the formula.
Any help is appreciated!
It is somewhat unclear if the question is asking this for google docs or Excel, but the solution is basically the same either way.
What you want here is called "VLOOKUP". You will be replacing this line:
=IF(G3 = "Ramen", D2, "No Link Found")
with
=VLOOKUP(G3, C2:D8, 2, FALSE)
This will take the value of cell G3 (Ramen in the example case) and search the range of C2:D8 (all the cells on the left of your table) until it finds it. Once it does it will go to the second column of the range (C = 1, D = 2) and take the matching cell value. The FALSE at the end has to do with sorting but shouldn't play a role here.
Note that your range needs to be the entire size of your foods list so change that D8 to DX where X is the size of your list in rows.

Hello stack overflowers.
I have recently been creating a nutrition tracker to better track and control my nutrition. However I have run into an issue. So currently I have a 1 sheet in the nutrition tracker which is a "database" of foods and their macro nutrients per gram. In this sheet, I will enter all the foods that I generally eat and their associated per G nutrients.
this food "database" sheet has the following columns.
FOOD NAME, CALORIES, PROTEIN, CARBS, OF WHICH SUGARS, FAT, OF WHICH SATURATED, FIBER, SALT
This database is then used as a reference, so that when I input each meal as I eat it, I can simply select the food from a drop down list and type the number of G in that meal, and the nutrients will all be calculated for me.
I currently have it setup so that I can select food from the drop down list generated by "foods" sheet, within each meal table I have created. This is then correctly filling in the rest of the columns as expected once I input a weight for each meal. There is however a huge problem.
As soon as the FOOD NAME column of the Foods sheet had values in it below row 7 (not sure why this row is the limit) the whole thing stops working, the data grabs based on VLOOKUP just return 0 and do not act as they are meant to. The strange thing is they work absolutely fine until I enter too many foods (7 foods) into the foods sheet.
Please find below a link to my spreadsheet, maybe you can duplicate it and play around a little yourselves to better understand the issue.

(if you help me fix it, you will have a free nutrition tracking spreadsheet to help you take control of your diet aswell)
Thanks in advance.
In the June tab, clear all formulas in the range D11:K18.
Then enter in D11
=ArrayFormula(IF(LEN(B11:B18), IFERROR(VLOOKUP(B11:B18, FOODS!A:I, {2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7}, 0)),))
This single formula will process all values entered in B11:B18.
Note the third parameter of VLOOKUP (set to false). If it is ommitted (as in your formula) it will default to 'true'. That means vlookup expects a 'sorted order' which may not be the case for your data.

try:
=INDEX(IF(B11:B18="";; IFNA(VLOOKUP(B11:B18; FOODS!A:I; COLUMN(B:G); ))))
I have 2 documents:
Document 1 contains a list with so called Set-names, displayed as "Set". And within each "Set" there is name that can be found that corresponds to the number within that set.
Document 2 contains all the Set-names with each their own numbers and Name. Each Set-name has it's own Sheet, and there is a lot of them.
I want to fill in just the Set-name "Set" and Set-number "Set#", to automatically display the name corresponding to these two values. The question is however, how do I do that?
Document 1: Collection
Shared document link: Click here (File > Make copy)
Document 2: All Set-names
Shared document link: Click here (File > Make copy)
In this example above I would like to output "Dark Raichu" within Document 1 at Q74:T74 and at Q75:T75. Is this even possible to make? INDIRECT might help as well so I don't have to manually edit each Set-name. Any idea/suggestion/solution is much appreciated!
EDIT
(following OP's explanations)
First of all I have to say that you should AVOID making such radical changes to the original question, since it completely throws readers off balance.
Having said that there is a completely different approach that should be followed.
In your Document 2: All Set-names
Step 1
Go to your Wizards Black Star Promos tab.
Using a formula like =ArrayFormula(A4:A59&"/555")
change the Set # from 1,2,3...59 to 1/555,2/555,3/555...59/555
(555 can be any unique number that does NOT conflict with the other sets)
Step 2
Create a new tab. Name this tab AllSets
Step 3
Use this formula in cell A2
={FILTER('Base Set'!A5:C,'Base Set'!A5:A<>"");
FILTER(Fossil!A5:C,Fossil!A5:A<>"");
FILTER('Base Set 2'!A5:C,'Base Set 2'!A5:A<>"");
FILTER('Wizards Black Star Promos'!A5:C,'Wizards Black Star Promos'!A5:A<>"");
FILTER(Jungle!A5:C,Jungle!A5:A<>"")}
Using this pattern complete the formula for the rest of your tabs. You will end up with a 3 columns list of all your sets in one place.
In your Document 1: Collection
Step 4
Go to your Collection tab.
In cell Q2 (where column Q is exactly before your Name column R) use the following formula.
(As before, complete the formula for the rest of your tabs)
=INDEX(IFERROR(N2:N&(SWITCH(H2:H,
"Base Set","/96",
"Jungle","/64",
"Wizards Black Star Promos","/555",
"Fossil","/62"))))
This way you will bring the complete Set # back.
This will be our helper column which can be hidden and will be only used in the next formula.
Step 5
In the same Collection tab and in cell R2 place this formula
=ArrayFormula(IFERROR(
VLOOKUP(Q2:Q,IMPORTRANGE("1n8iWAl7ZQhsue6Opefvh_9yDwMk06PvqUdQoVuEJw00","AllSets!A2:C"),{2,3},0)))
The above final formula will give you everything.
The Card name, the Type as well as the Link and the Image of the card.
If you do not want the Type just change this part of the formula {2,3} to just 2.
Step 6
Enjoy :)

Original answer
(For the question as originally posted )
You can use a combination formula like
=ArrayFormula(IFERROR(
VLOOKUP(V2:V,{REGEXEXTRACT(Sheet1!R2:R,"\d+")*1,Sheet1!S2:S},2,0)))
(do adjust ranges and locale syntax to meet your needs)
Functions used:
ArrayFormula
IFERROR
VLOOKUP
REGEXEXTRACT
You can easily import a range from one Spreadsheet to another using IMPORTRANGE. IN your case described as you wanted to import the range A5:A (i.e all cells in column A minus the first 5 cells in the column) of the sheet Team Rocket of the Spreadsheet Document 2 into Document 1 cell Q73 you would need to use this function in cell Q73:
=IMPORTRANGE("YOUR DOCUMENT 2 SPREADSHEET URL","Team Rocket!A5:A")
Note that when you first use this function it might ask you to grant access between these Spreadsheeets to let one get the data from the other
I've tried looking for an answer to this online for a few hours now, but I just can't work out how you'd describe it, or find an appropriate answer.
I have a spreadsheet where I'm wanting to pull out an ID in Column A into a separate tab, but only if it contains a certain phrase that's contained in Column E. In this separate tab, I then don't want there to be any gaps in between the IF statements.
So for example I want the next tab to pull through the Action ID if column E contains 'Client'. If it doesn't, it searches the next row and so on until it finds one that does contain 'Client'. Row 2 on the separate tab would then continue the search, but it wouldn't be filled with something if it doesn't find the word 'Client' - it instead would continue searching down until it found one that has the word in.
So for example - if the first ID that contains the right phrase is in Row 5, I want it to appear on the separate tab in Row 2, underneath the heading. Then, if the second ID with the correct phrase in column F is in Row 11 for example on the main tab, I then want it to be pulled through to Row 3 on the separate tab. And so on..
This will then allow me to do lookups for the rest of the values I want to input on the separate tab.
I've tried as many different IF statements as I can, but it's just not having it.
Any advice would be really appreciated.
You can use INDEX and AGGREGATE combination:
=IFERROR(INDEX($A$2:$A$6,AGGREGATE(15,6,1/($E$2:$E$6="Client")*ROW($E$2:$E$6)-1,ROW()-1)),"")
In Google Sheets you can use FILTER (docs) for that. Place it in the top cell of your column.
={
"Your Header";
IFNA(FILTER(A2:A, B2:B = "Client"))
}
If A2:A and B2:B are from other tab named My Tab it will be 'My Tab'!A2:A and 'My Tab'!B2:B.
My wife runs a dance school, and occasionally needs to calculate the average age on a given date of a group of dancers. I'm not having a problem with the age calculation and averaging, but I wish to add a feature:
My sheet has all dancers in her company listed. Currently, we copy them all, paste to another sheet, and then delete the ones not included. That's a PITA, so instead I'd like to be able to put a checkbox in the first column, that when checked, would INCLUDE the associated age column in the calculation. So, she could just go down the list, click the included dancers, and it would calculate the average JUST for the selected ones and ignore everybody else.
Honestly, at this point, I have ZERO idea of where to start to do this and need a gentle push in the correct direction. Assume I'm an idiot and know almost nothing.
Here's an example sheet with the new checkbox feature to illustrate the function:
https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1G8LJyS10yi1HIa2MNHCbWUJPso9QAit3i0cO8A-Uw3A/edit?usp=sharing
I placed the formula above the "Age" column (Column C), and the Checkboxes in Column A:
=iferror(AVERAGEIF(A3:A,TRUE,C3:C),"NO DANCER'S SELECTED!")
This also displays an error message in case no dancer's are selected.
Try this. It looks for 'y' in column A. Assumes names are in column B and ages in column C. You can adjust the columns to match you sheet, and change the 'y' to whatever value you want to enter. It will average the ages of the rows with 'y' in column A:
=AVERAGEIF(A2:A,"=y",C2:C)
I would like to perform a multi criteria search of data in a column- contains data of check boxes(more than one option chosen).
For a clearer picture of what I am trying to do, screenshot below is a question in a form
Data from the form are saved in sheets like below,
So my concern here is if I would like to search/filter for the rows that contain "Commercial", the rows with Commercial,Engineering doesn't show up. That's definitely not an effective search.
Any advise on how can I go about this issue is kindly appreciated. If
Let's say you have your form in the response sheet in columns A to P, with the multiple choice in col D. If you want to filter your data on the word 'Commercial' you can either do:
=filter(A2:P, regexmatch(A2:P, "Commercial"))
or use query():
=query(A2:P, "select * where B contains 'Commercial' ")
Note: depending on your locale you may have to change the commas to semi-colons in order for the formulas to work.
I hope that helps ?
Following JPV's answer, I developed a line to make the query useful if you want to cross two categories. Let's suppose that someone in your checkbox example had picked all the options (IT, HR, Commercial, Engineering); and that you have created the cell with the dropdown option box in cell B1 with all your options, as JPV said.
Then, you want to filter and see all the people who had chosen IT and Commercial. You would, for that, create a second cell with the dropdown option box in, lets say C1; and then your query would be:
=query(A2:P, "select * where B contains '"&B1&"' and B contains '"&C1&"' ")
=FILTER(MOBILE!A2:E2000, ISNUMBER(SEARCH(A1,MOBILE!A2:A2000)))
SEARCH function will return a number of the position of the searched word (A1) in the searched strings in range (MOBILE!A2:A2000).
If the result of search is a number (ISNUMBER), then filter will return the TRUE rows result from the range MOBILE!A2:E2000.
