I have dozens of columns where I want to highlight duplicates. I have an issue with the formula. Here is what I have:
=COUNTIFS($B$3:$B,$C$3:$C,$D$3:$D,$E3:$E,$F3:$F,$G$3:$G,$H$3:$H,$I$3:$I,$J$3:$J,$K$3:$K,$L$3:$L,$M$3:$M,$N$3:$N,$O$3:$O,$P$3:$P,$Q$3:$Q)>1
I have also tried this:
=COUNTIFS($B$3:$B,$B3:$B,$C$3:$C,$C3:$C,$D$3:$D,$D3:$D,$E$3:$E,$E3:$E,$F$3:$F,$F3:$F,$G$3:$G,$G3:$G,$H$3:$H,$H3:$H,$I$3:$I,$I:$I,$J$3:$J,$J3:$J,$K$3:$K,$K3:$K,$L$3:$L,$L3:$L,$M$3:$M,$M3:$M,$N$3:$N,$N3:$N,$O$3:$O,$O3:$O,$P$3:$P,$P3:$P,$Q$3:$Q,$Q3:$Q)>1
Google sheets says: Invalid formula. What is wrong with it? Is there an easy way of doing it instead of typing all the columns one by one?
Apply a custom formula for conditional formatting.
If you want to check everything from row 3 to the very bottom then use
=COUNTIF($B$3:$S, B3) > 1
applied to B3:S.
If you want to handle only the range B3:S22 then apply to it:
=COUNTIF($B$3:$S$22, B3) > 1
Do not forget those $s.
try:
=REGEXMATCH(""&B3, TEXTJOIN("|", 1, $B$25:$B$28))

I need to add a 0 before all cells in the A column on Google Sheets. Is there a code or formatting function I can add in? I need them to look like A2. A3 is what I have right now. There are a total of 783 that were extracted like this and I don't wanna do this manually
I tried formatting a few ways but I'm still a beginner in Sheets & Excel
You can try with ARRAYFORMULA in another column:
=ARRAYFORMULA(0&A1:A)
=INDEX(0&A1:A)
(PS: you may change A1:A with A1:A783)
If you want to just change the values in that column, you may use FIND AND REPLACE --> (Edit -> Find and Replace), be sure you tick "Search using regular expressions". Put to find ^ and to replace 0
NOTE: thanks to #rockinfreakshow, prior this second option, first format to plain text:
And then do the replacement:
You can use this formula in the adjacent cell:
Then you apply it across all your rows.
Do not forget to copy and paste as values.
I am turning to you today for help with a problem on Google Sheets.
I receive this data from a Google Sheets form: An answer (0 or 1) to 5 different questions.
I would like to calculate in column A (in green) the scores out of 5 for each row, as soon as a new row is added by the form.
I tried to use the ARRAYFORMULA() function but it does the count for all the cells in the range and not just row by row:
Do you have an idea to have a score out of 5 for each line of question and have it apply to the whole file as soon as a new line is added by the Google Form?
Thanks for your help
If you want to use COUNTIF (English correspondance for NB.SI), modify your formula to:
=ARRAYFORMULA(COUNTIF(IF(B1:F=1,ROW(B1:B)), ROW(B1:B)))
or for your regional settings:
=ARRAYFORMULA(NB.SI(IF(B1:F=1,ROW(B1:B)), ROW(B1:B)))
You can get a row-by-row sum with sumif() like this in cell A3:
=arrayformula( sumif( if(column(B3:F), row(B3:F)), row(B3:F), B3:F) )
This formula uses open-ended range references so it will create results all the way down to the end of the sheet. To limit that, use a range reference like B3:F100 instead.
I've created a dense formula using COUNTIF and VLOOKUP across multiple columns, and I've currently set it up so that I have to copy/paste every formula. But I'd really like to be able to use arrayformula to write the formula once for each of the columns below, and have it render across at least 1000 rows. Is there a trick to writing this?
Column 1
=COUNTIF(VLOOKUP(F3,WarLinesValuesTypes,2,FALSE),"*Defense*")
+COUNTIF(VLOOKUP(G3,WarLinesValuesTypes,2,FALSE),"*Defense*")
+COUNTIF(VLOOKUP(H3,WarLinesValuesTypes,2,FALSE),"*Defense*")
+COUNTIF(VLOOKUP(I3,WarLinesValuesTypes,2,FALSE),"*Defense*")
+COUNTIF(VLOOKUP(J3,WarLinesValuesTypes,2,FALSE),"*Defense*")
Column 2
=COUNTIF(VLOOKUP(F3,WarLinesValuesTypes,2,FALSE),"*Offense*")
+COUNTIF(VLOOKUP(G3,WarLinesValuesTypes,2,FALSE),"*Offense*")
+COUNTIF(VLOOKUP(H3,WarLinesValuesTypes,2,FALSE),"*Offense*")
+COUNTIF(VLOOKUP(I3,WarLinesValuesTypes,2,FALSE),"*Offense*")
+COUNTIF(VLOOKUP(J3,WarLinesValuesTypes,2,FALSE),"*Offense*")
I also saw the StackOverflow post here (iterate row by row COUNTIF using ArrayFormula on Google Sheets), and tried to emulate it, but I am not getting it right. My sheet (https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1JR_eYvmf6YgW0CfzHrSR6dxF8RmyWhSKhqSpRnnbipk/edit?usp=sharing) shows the complex formula working correctly for both columns, as well as my failed attempt for 1 of those columns as a trial using arrayformula, mmult, and sign.
try:
=ARRAYFORMULA(MMULT(IF(REGEXMATCH(IFNA(VLOOKUP(
INDIRECT("F2:J"&COUNTA(B2:B)+1), 'Flattened Standard War Lines'!A:B, 2, 0)),
".*Offense.*"), 1, 0), TRANSPOSE(COLUMN(F:J))^0))
Hello I would like to check for duplicate rows, not just a cell, in google sheets, i would like to apply this formula in conditional formatting so it would highlight the cell
Here is a sample of what i want to catch
I would like to catch a duplicate row,group,or pair of cells in exact order. Can anybody help me with the formula?
I tried searching and there seems to be no article about it yet, I also tried using countif on both rows and multiply them, but that does not solve it being a pair.
Let's say you have the following data:
https://ibb.co/sFhjN34
First, range select A1:B1001.
Then, paste the following formula in the custom formula bar.
=AND(A1<>"",COUNTIF(ARRAYFORMULA($A:$A&$B:$B),index(ARRAYFORMULA($A:$A&$B:$B),ROW($A1),))>1)
Explaination:
ARRAYFORMULA($A:$A&$B:$B)
This is creating a virtual array which concat two columns A & B.
E.g. juice crackers -> juicecrackers
index(ARRAYFORMULA($A:$A&$B:$B),ROW($A1),)
Since conditional formating will loop through all rows given the starting range you specify earlier (A1:B1001), this part is trying to loop through ROW($A_) such that index(ARRAYFORMULA($A:$A&$B:$B),ROW($A_),) will return the combined word.
COUNTIF(ARRAYFORMULA($A:$A&$B:$B),index(ARRAYFORMULA($A:$A&$B:$B),ROW($A1),))>1)
Count every combined word that it specified in this array ARRAYFORMULA($A:$A&$B:$B)
If it countup more than 1, it means duplicated.
A1<>"" For those blank cells, we ignore it.
Combine the two conditions. AND(A1<>"",COUNTIF(ARRAYFORMULA($A:$A&$B:$B) ....)
It's not quite as perfect as you'd like, but I think this is a start:
=AND($A1=$A2,$B1=$B2)
This doesn't highlight the last row of any matches it finds, but it might be serviceable for what you want (ex. if Row 1 through Row 3 match, it will only highlight Row 1 and Row 2).
Just change the columns to match the two you're working with, and then if you want it to highlight the entire row, change the Apply to range to A1:Z or however many columns you have.
As the title says, I'm trying to highlight partial duplicates for 1 column in Google Sheets using conditional formatting.
Here's what I have so far:
=if(C1<>"",Countif(C$1:C,left(C1,5)& "*") > 1)
This works, but the issue is the "left" makes it so the code only highlight cells that are duplicates from the start.
So for instance, the formula won't highlight "1exampletest" and "2exampletest" because the first 5 characters are not the same...which is something I want the formula to be able to highlight.
Does anyone know the right formula for detecting partial duplicates regardless of when the duplicate is occurring?
there are several ways how to do it which may or may not work for you (because you did not provide a geniue sample)
_______________________________________________________________
or with REGEXMATCH like: =REGEXMATCH(A1, "example")
_______________________________________________________________
=OR(IF(C1<>"",COUNTIF(C$1:C,LEFT(C1,5)&"*")>1),IF(C1<>"",COUNTIF(C$1:C,"*"&RIGHT(C1,5))>1))
