This formula should look up in the A column of multiple sheets and when the match is found (in this case there are not duplicates in any A column of the different sheets), it gives back the value found in the cell next on the right to the match.
=ArrayFormula(IF(LEN(B5),VLOOKUP(B5,{SHEET1!$A$3:$B,SHEET2!$A$15:$B},2,FALSE),""))
But it gives a mismatch error and even if I make the ranges the same length the value in B5 is searched only into the first sheet of the range, in this case SHEET1!$A$3:$B.
Is is possible to make the formula work with ranges of different length from multiple sheets?
always when you construct the virtual array with array brackets {} both sides needs to be of the same size.
={A1:A10, B1,B10}
or:
={A1:C10; D1:F10}
in your case, the array literal error comes from mismatched rows when you use "infinite" rows by not specifying the end row. eg your sheet1 has more or fewer rows then your sheet2
=INDEX(IF(LEN(B5), VLOOKUP(B5, {SHEET1!A3:B; SHEET2!A15:B}, 2, 0), ))

I'm trying to sum the product of three arrays.
All three have the same size (10 rows, 1 col).
The middle array is a text, and I want to lookup the value corresponding to the text in another named table.
So I tried the following formulas:
=arrayformula(SUMPRODUCT(K12:K21,vlookup(id_tip_art,'Copy of 002F_OF'!def_manop,3,false),R12:R21))
or
=SUMPRODUCT(K12:K21,arrayformula(vlookup(id_tip_art,'Copy of 002F_OF'!def_manop,3,false)),
R12:R21)
#parse ERROR.
Any ideas?
Thx
Following formula works and returns the expected array size, but cannot insert it in sumproduct:
=arrayformula(vlookup(id_tip_art,'Copy of 002F_OF'!def_manop,3,false))
I am using this formula to merge multiple sheets (about 100, but for simplicity just stick with 3 sheets: Sheet1, Sheet2 and Sheet3), in which I do not know how many non-empty rows I have (also, they increase dinamically).
={FILTER(Sheet1!A2:L;LEN(Sheet1!A2:A));FILTER(Sheet2!A2:L;LEN(Sheet2!A2:A));FILTER(Sheet3!A2:L;LEN(Sheet3!A2:A))}
The formula works well if all the sheets have at least one row filled with values. However, the problems is that if, for example, Sheet2 is empty, the formula gets me an error:
In ARRAY_LITERAL, an Array Literal was missing values for one or more rows
How can I fix this error?
The problem is:
When your sheet is empty, error message is returned. But this message is just one cell.
Your array to keep it's shape needs all rows to have 12 columns (A to L)
That's why you have "array literal..." message
You should set a condition for that creates an empty row of 12 cells in case of error with empty content.
Try:
Iferror(FILTER(Sheet1!A2:L;LEN(Sheet1!A2:A));{""\""\""\""\""\""\""\""\""\""\""\""})
for a sheet that you know as empty
\ separator works for some sheet locales but for USA, UK use comma (as I see you use semicolon between your values in formulas so \ should work).
In Google Sheets, I have a formula that displays the value of an item in a row if one of its cells contains any of the values listed in a different sheet. It looks like this:
=ARRAYFORMULA(IF(OR(L2 = ZRSKUs!$A$1:$Z$12005), O2, "0"))
If L2 contains any of the values in sheet ZRSKUs, this formula displays the value of the item, which is held in O2. If I drag the formula down it produces the value of every column and I can then get a SUM of this column. I wanted a way to do this without having to drag the formula down every single row (this spreadsheet has about 20,000 rows so it takes a long time to do). I also wanted the formula to add it up too, so it is all done in one cell.
I tried editing the formula to do this, and this is what I came up with:
=ARRAYFORMULA(SUM(IF(OR($L3:$L = ZRSKUs!$A$1:$A$500), $O3:$O, "0")))
However, this gives me an "Array arguments to EQ are of different size" error. I tried adjusting the number of rows in the ZRSKUs sheets so it had the exact same number as my other sheet, but this made no difference.
I'm not sure what's going wrong, so any help or advice would be greatly appreciated!
You get the error because that is not a well-formed array formula, as $L3:$L and ZRSKUs!$A$1:$A$500 are not equal in length. We could rectify this by using another function for the lookup, in this case, MATCH:
=ARRAYFORMULA(SUM(IF(ISNA(MATCH($L$1:$L, ZRSKUs!$A$1:$A$500, 0)), 0, $O$1:$O)))
I'm trying HLOOKUP with Importrange formula as I've to lookup data from other Google Sheets.
I'm entering the below formula.
=HLOOKUP(C1,IMPORTRANGE("1wWguGb6O0GyX7ACxzoFCN8N73zV0pUeoj51R_zFNPfE","Project wise Resources!$E$1:$AZ$20"),2,0)
I'm getting the error:
HLOOKUP evaluates to an out of bounds range.
I have entered the correct range but unable to understand what the issue is.
you can't do that on the spot
first paste this formula into some cell and allow access
=IMPORTRANGE("1wWguGb6O0GyX7ACxzoFCN8N73zV0pUeoj51R_zFNPfE",
"'Project wise Resources'!E1:AZ20")
then use your formula:
=HLOOKUP(C1, IMPORTRANGE("1wWguGb6O0GyX7ACxzoFCN8N73zV0pUeoj51R_zFNPfE",
"'Project wise Resources'!E1:AZ20"), 2, 0)
and also make sure that sheet Project wise Resources has a column AZ
Try changing last HLOOKUP option to TRUE/FALSE instead of 0
HLOOKUP: https://support.google.com/docs/answer/3093375?hl=en
Horizontal lookup. Searches across the first row of a range for a key
and returns the value of a specified cell in the column found.
VLOOKUP: https://support.google.com/docs/answer/3093318?hl=en&ref_topic=3105472
Vertical lookup. Searches down the first column of a range for a key
and returns the value of a specified cell in the row found.

you may need VLOOKUP depending on way your lookup is organised - by rows or columns..
If you are lookup up second row or second column only, then there is no need to have a range that extends beyond 2 rows or 2 columns...
The VLOOKUP formulas which works individually are
=if(VLOOKUP(E2,DB!$C:$E,1,0)>0,"COMPLETED",)
=if(VLOOKUP(E2,DB!$F:$H,1,0)>0,"IN PROGRESS",)
The issue is while displaying both results in a single cell, the formula which I came up for this was
C2=if(AND(VLOOKUP(E4,DB!$C:$E,1,0)>0),"COMPLETED",if(VLOOKUP(E4,DB!$F:$H,1,0)>0,"IN PROGRESS","UNDEFINED"))
I have tested the formula with normal conditions other than VLOOKUP and it works without any issues, not sure what's wrong with it.
Example : C10=if(AND(E10=1),"ONE",if(E10=2,"TWO","NO DATA"))
Any help appreciated.
May be its something simple but I am pulling my hair out for the last 3 hours.
Thanks :)

Sorry for the comments that I have posted as I am new at using Stack overflow.
I have tried with only IF statements without any AND conditions, but the result is still same. The VLOOKUP is not returning the second value.
C15=IF(VLOOKUP(E15,DB!$F:$H,1,0)>0,"COMPLETED",if(VLOOKUP(E15,DB!$F:$H,1,0)>0,"IN PROGRESS","UNDEFINED"))
What I am expecting in cell C2 (sheet1) is check the values in cell
E2 against the columns C:H ( Sheet 2/ DB). If it belongs to
Column C:C in (sheet2/DB) then the value in C2 (sheet1) should display
as "Completed" else if the value is in column F:F ( sheet2/DB) then in C2
(sheet1) should display "In Progress".

There are a few problems with your formula.
VLOOKUP and similar functions search within a single row or column, and it seems like you're looking for your value in multiple rows and columns.
As #Meta mentioned, VLOOKUP returns N/A when the value is not found in the range, and you are expecting a zero or less value to be returned (when you check for >0 in the IF statement). Note that VLOOKUP returns the cell value itself and not an index of a match (like the MATCH function).
My suggestion is to replace your VLOOKUPs with COUNTIF.
=IF(COUNTIF(DB!$F:$H,E2)>0,"COMPLETED",IF(COUNTIF(DB!$C:$D,E2)>0,"IN PROGRESS","UNDEFINED"))
COUNTIF counts in multiple rows and columns, and will return a zero if no matches are found.
