Concatenate cell values if they have a similar value in another cell - google-sheets

I need to concatenate the city names that a person has been to into another cell but they have to be repeated every time the name of the person comes up.
I tried using COUNTIF but couldn't get me anywhere.
I don't wanna use VB code; just formulas/functions.
Any ideas?
Here's the link to my spreadsheet

use:
=ARRAYFORMULA(REGEXREPLACE(IFNA(VLOOKUP(B2:B,
TRIM(SPLIT(TRANSPOSE(TRIM(QUERY(QUERY({A2:A&",", B2:B&"♦"},
"select max(Col1) where Col1 <> ',' group by Col1 pivot Col2")
,,99^99))), "♦")), 2, 0)), ",$", ))

Google Sheets complex array from multiple sheets

I am looking to build a formula that will check columns for a true value and if true return the first column name, in order...
Below is the formula I have been trying to build but it is not working as expected although I think I am close.
=ARRAYFORMULA(IF(HLOOKUP($A16,{Sheet1!$B$2:$E$5,Sheet2!$B$8:$E$11},{3,4,5},0)=TRUE,{Sheet2!$A$3:$A$5,Sheet1!$A$3:$A5,""))
Let me illustrate. Sheet 1 and Sheet 2 contain names with who has what (checkbox items). With a formula in cell B16 that will populate both to the right and down with all the names that contain a TRUE value in the looked up value (A:A).
Above image was manually typed in, the formula does not work at all.
Please help!
EDIT: Link to sheet
try:
=INDEX(IFERROR(VLOOKUP(A14:A, SUBSTITUTE(REGEXREPLACE(SPLIT(FLATTEN(
QUERY(SUBSTITUTE(QUERY(SPLIT(FLATTEN(
IF({B3:E5; B9:E11}=TRUE,
{B2:E2&"♦"&A3:A5&"♣"&ROW(A3:A5);
B8:E8&"♦"&A9:A11&"♣"&ROW(A9:A11)}, )), "♦"),
"select max(Col2) where Col2 is not null group by Col2 pivot Col1"),
" ", "♥"),,9^9)), " "), "(♣\d+)", ), "♥", " "),
SEQUENCE(1, COUNTUNIQUE(B2:E2, B8:E8))+1, 0)))
demo sheet
Here is another approach (similar to player0's, but different enough to warrant the separate answer:
=ArrayFormula(IFERROR(TRIM(SPLIT(VLOOKUP(FILTER(A3:A,A3:A<>""),REGEXREPLACE(SPLIT(FLATTEN(QUERY(QUERY(SPLIT(QUERY(FLATTEN({IF(Sheet1!B2:E<>TRUE,,Sheet1!B1:E1&"~|"&Sheet1!A2:A&",");IF(Sheet2!B2:E<>TRUE,,Sheet2!B1:E1&"~|"&Sheet2!A2:A&",")}),"Select * WHERE Col1 Is Not Null"),"|"), "Select MAX(Col2) where Col2 IS NOT NULL GROUP BY Col2 PIVOT Col1"),, 9^9)),"~"),"[,\s]+$",""),2,FALSE),","))))
I've added it into your spreadsheet in a new sheet ("Erik Help").
If you have more than two sheets' to include, just find this section of the formula and continue the pattern:
{ IF(Sheet1!B2:E<>TRUE,,Sheet1!B1:E1&"~|"&Sheet1!A2:A&","); IF(Sheet2!B2:E<>TRUE,,Sheet2!B1:E1&"~|"&Sheet2!A2:A&",") }

is there a way to use the char(10) function without separating every value?

I am currently using char (10) to merge columns, from a separate tab called "scripts", into one cell based on a name.
=IFERROR(TEXTJOIN(CHAR(10),1,QUERY(Scripts!$A$3:A,"select B, C, D, E where A ='"&A1&"'")))
my information shows up in a list. is there a way to combine columns B+C and then D+E.
row 1 is what my data looks like on "scripts" tab.
row 7 is what the data looks like with the above equation.
row 12 is what i would like the equation to do.
try:
=ARRAYFORMULA(IFNA(VLOOKUP(A1:A, QUERY(
{Scripts!A:A, Scripts!B:B&" "&Scripts!C:C&CHAR(10)&Scripts!D:D&" "&Scripts!E:E},
"where Col1 is not null"), 2, 0)))
update:
=ARRAYFORMULA(REGEXREPLACE(TRIM(SPLIT(FLATTEN(QUERY(QUERY(
{Data!A2:A&"×", CHAR(10)&TEXT(Data!B2:B, "m/d/yy")&
CHAR(10)&Data!C2:C&", "&Data!D2:D&", "&Data!E2:E, ROW(Data!A2:A)},
"select max(Col2) where not Col1 starts with '×' group by Col3 pivot Col1")
,,9^9)), "×")), "^"&CHAR(10), ))

Finding the top 3 values and returning the column ID

Thank you beforehand for your kind response.
Problem: I am trying to do a sheet to sort out the 3 top categories of a given range as shown by the attached screen grab.
enter image description here
I only managed to get the results by using the "large" command. "=large(range,n)". Using this I got the value but what I need is the column index/id rather than the numeric values.
Any ideas on how I would go about achieving this?
Thanks for your reply.
Try the following maybe:
Formula in G2:
=TRANSPOSE(QUERY(TRANSPOSE({A$1:E$1;A2:E2}),"Select Col1 Order by Col2 desc limit 3"))
It's definitely possible in arrayformula.
Using vlookup, a sequence of numbers for the search key:
=arrayformula(sequence(max(if(A:E<>"",row(A:A),))-1,columns(A:E)))
...and a range of columns that are sorted by each row of numbers:
=arrayformula({
sequence((max(if(A:E<>"",row(A:A),))-1)*columns(A1:E1)),
sort({
array_constrain(int((row(A2:A)-2)/(columns(A:E)))+1,(max(if(A:E<>"",row(A:A),))-1)*columns(A1:E1),1),
array_constrain(iferror(split(flatten(if(A2:E<>"",A1:E1&char(9999),)&A2:E),char(9999)),),(max(if(A:E<>"",row(A:A),))-1)*columns(A1:E1),2)
},1,1,3,0)
})
The final formula for the solution, in cell G2:
=arrayformula(
array_constrain(
vlookup(
sequence(max(if(A:E<>"",row(A:A),))-1,columns(A:E)),
{sequence((max(if(A:E<>"",row(A:A),))-1)*columns(A1:E1)),sort({array_constrain(int((row(A2:A)-2)/(columns(A:E)))+1,(max(if(A:E<>"",row(A:A),))-1)*columns(A1:E1),1),array_constrain(iferror(split(flatten(if(A2:E<>"",A1:E1&char(9999),)&A2:E),char(9999)),),(max(if(A:E<>"",row(A:A),))-1)*columns(A1:E1),2)},1,1,3,0)}
,3,0),
max(if(A:E<>"",row(A:A),))-1,3)
)
It will work with blank cells in some of the rows.
The width of the source data is determined by:
=columns(A1:E1)
and the height of the source 'numbers' by:
=max(if(A:E<>"",row(A:A),))-1 (it needs to sit within an arrayformula).
you may use this superior formula:
=ARRAYFORMULA(ARRAY_CONSTRAIN(IFERROR(SPLIT(FLATTEN(SPLIT(QUERY(FILTER(
QUERY(SPLIT(FLATTEN(IF(A2:E="",,ROW(A2:A)&"×"&A2:E&"×"&A1:E1)), "×"),
"select Col3 where Col2 is not null order by Col1,Col2 desc"), COUNTIFS(
QUERY(SPLIT(FLATTEN(IF(A2:E="",,ROW(A2:A)&"×"&A2:E&"×"&A1:E1)), "×"),
"select Col1 where Col2 is not null order by Col1,Col2 desc"),
QUERY(SPLIT(FLATTEN(IF(A2:E="",,ROW(A2:A)&"×"&A2:E&"×"&A1:E1)), "×"),
"select Col1 where Col2 is not null order by Col1,Col2 desc"),
SEQUENCE(COUNTA(A2:E), 1, ROW(A2)), "<="&SEQUENCE(COUNTA(A2:E), 1, ROW(A2)))<4)&
FLATTEN(IFERROR(SEQUENCE(MAX((A2:E<>"")*ROW(A2:A)), 3)*
{"a", "a", 0})),,9^9), 0)), " ")), 9^9, 3))

Summarizing array of existing items and amounts from a range

I want to speed up work in my catering company. I have an excel file with all the ingredients of all products.
For example:
https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1-AFHpl8aoIiMXz2RE1Xv7JcI7pCIMQfMoq-lQJBx5Gw/edit?usp=sharing
=ARRAYFORMULA(TRIM(SPLIT(TRANSPOSE(SPLIT(TRANSPOSE(QUERY(TRANSPOSE(QUERY(TRANSPOSE(
IF(master!E3:Z<>"", master!A3:A&"♦"&master!B3:B&"♦"&master!E1:1&"♦"&master!E3:Z&"♠", ))
, , 500000)), , 500000)), "♠")), "♦")))
=ARRAYFORMULA(QUERY({C2:C,VALUE(D2:D)},
"select Col1,sum(Col2)
where Col1<>''
group by Col1
order by Col1
label sum(Col2)'Total',Col1'Shopping List'"))
The following formula would work for one recipe:
=TRANSPOSE(FILTER({E1:K1;QUERY(A1:K5,"SELECT E,F,G,H,I,J,K WHERE A='"&H25&"'", FALSE)}, NOT(ISBLANK(QUERY(A1:K5,"SELECT E,F,G,H,I,J,K WHERE A='"&H25&"'", FALSE)))))
(I put this as an example into cell I25).

How to use ARRAYFORMULA in query where clause?

In cell C1:C of my table I got 6 rows with ticket id's. I like to search different spreadsheets to search for those ticket id's and calculate the total hours spent on that ticket.
I have it working using the following formula:
=QUERY({IMPORTRANGE("SPREADSHEETID";"B3:B")\ARRAYFORMULA(TO_PURE_NUMBER(IMPORTRANGE("SPREADSHEETID";"F3:F")-IMPORTRANGE("SPREADSHEETID";"E3:E")))};"SELECT SUM(Col2) WHERE Col1 = '"&C1&"' GROUP BY Col1 LABEL SUM(Col2) ''")
In this example, C1 is where the ticket ID can be found.
Now I thought I could just wrap QUERY in a ARRAYFORMULA and use C1:C instead of just C1 but that won't work. Now I could just copy and paste the above formula in every cell but there must be a cleaner way.
ANSWER
I used the following formula to make it work, thanks to Max's answer below.
=QUERY(
{
IMPORTRANGE("SPREADSHEETID";"B3:B")\
ARRAYFORMULA(
TO_PURE_NUMBER(
IMPORTRANGE("SPREADSHEETID";"F3:F") - IMPORTRANGE("SPREADSHEETID";"E3:E")
)
)
};
"
SELECT Col1, SUM(Col2)
WHERE Col1 = '" & JOIN("' OR Col1 = '";FILTER(C:C; C:C <> "")) & "'
GROUP BY Col1
LABEL SUM(Col2) ''
")
Sample formula is:
=QUERY({A:B},"select * where Col1 = '"&JOIN("' or Col1 = '",FILTER(D2:D,D2:D<>""))&"'")
No, one cannot create an array of query strings and use arrayformula(query(...)) to run them all at once.
Alternative: instead of
SELECT SUM(Col2) WHERE Col1 = '"&C1&"' GROUP BY Col1 LABEL SUM(Col2) ''
use the query
SELECT Col1, SUM(Col2) GROUP BY Col1
elsewhere on the sheet, and then use vlookup to look up the sum for each value of Col1 that you want. vlookup can be used inside of arrayformula like this:
=arrayformula(vlookup(C1:C10, E:F, 2, 0))
looks up each of values in C1..C10 in the column E (exact match required) and returns the corresponding value in column F (2nd column of the searched range).
