Google Sheets FORMULATEXT not updating - google-sheets

So FORMULATEXT is not updating when the referenced objects are changed even tho the formula that it's turning to text has changed.
https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1V00i3XlEx5Q2Xp0QZevS5o2pdpU2QNNNX5d8bkHtn3U/edit?usp=sharing
Any other ways to achieve this or a way to fix this?

I don't know whether it's the smartest solution, but this will work, assuming your reference object columns moves between Column E to N, you can edit the formula per your requirement
=(regexextract(ADDRESS(row(),column(index(E1:N1,match(sum(E1:N1),E1:N1,0)))),"[A-z]"))&":"&(regexextract(ADDRESS(row(),column(index(E1:N1,match(sum(E1:N1),E1:N1,0)))),"[A-z]"))>0
Hope it helps!

set calculation to:
and try:
=FORMULATEXT(A1)&IFERROR(NOW()/0)

How to convert this formula into an arrayformula? Google Sheets

Been beating my head against this and can't get it. Here is the forumla:
=IF(E3=E2,F2,F2+1)
Pretty simple. All it does is look at the cell above it...if they are the same it doesn't increase the number iteration. If they are different it does. Somehow I can't figure out how to format this in order to make it an ArrayFormula. The only reason I want it to be an Arrayformula is so that rows can be added or removed and the formula would remain intact thus the spreadsheet would be easier to use.
If you need to place it in column F from F3, you may try another approach or you'll get a circular dependency:
=BYROW(E3:E,LAMBDA(each,IF(each="","",F2+sum(MAP(E3:each, LAMBDA(c,IF(c="","",IF(c=OFFSET(c,-1,),0,1))))))))
try:
=INDEX(BYROW(E2:INDEX(E:E, MAX(ROW(E:E)*(E:E<>""))),
LAMBDA(e, IF(OFFSET(e, 1, )=e, OFFSET(e,,1), OFFSET(e,,1)+1))

How to refer table column by column heading/name in google sheet

(I might have used wrong terminology to frame question, and it would be great to be pointed at right question/answer.)
As shown in image I have a table.
I want to sum all the values in "col2"
One way to do this is
=sum(B2:B4)
But I think a cleaner way to do this would involve somehow referring the column name in the formula, so that formula is more readable.
Is there a way to do it?
You could try this too
=sum(filter(A2:C4,A1:C1="col2"))
Try
=SUM(offset(A2:A,,MATCH("Col2",1:1,0)-1))
Try this formula:
=SUM(INDIRECT("C"&MATCH("col2", 1:1, 0),FALSE))
Output:
References:
INDIRECT
MATCH
SUM

Google Sheets: Is it possible to simplify this formula? Preferably, I'd like it to calculate all the cells in the row

Can the following formula be simplified as described in the paragraph below it?
=(ABS(D$3-D5)+ABS(E$3-E5)+ABS(F$3-F5)+ABS(G$3-G5)+ABS(H$3-H5)+ABS(I$3-I5)+ABS(J$3-J5)+ABS(K$3-K5))/-1
The problem is that I don't know how many columns I'm going to end up with, and I certainly don't want to continue manually writing each column into the formula. Is there I way to simplify this formula so that every column in a row is calculated?
I've been trying various formulas to no avail, and I can't get usable results via Google searches. I suppose I don't know how to effectively word the question without writing a paragraph.
Thanks, in advance!
Try this one:
=-SUM(ARRAYFORMULA(ABS(D$3:$3 - D5:5)))
GOT IT:
=ArrayFormula(SUM(ABS(D$3:$3-D5:5))/-1)

How to set filter conditions as a cell reference in google sheets?

I'm trying to use the filter function with a reference to a cell in another sheet as i have to copy the entire spreadsheet and be able to change the range of the filter.
I'm using cell and address together and hope it will return the text for use in the the formula. So far it look like this:
=filter(Master!A2:E;CELLE(ADRESSE(Settings!B1))=Settings!B2)
I keep getting an error displaying “FILTER has mismatched range sizes"
When I'm not using Celle function but writing Master!D2:D instead there is no error.
I have made a dummy spreadsheet so you can see what I mean.
https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1KZhB1m0WzPlnGdzjJYZqQpsMsjoOpqQhlATmHs5dUm4/edit?usp=sharing
Any help is much appreciated. Thanks.
Remove the space in Settings B1 and then try
=filter(Master!A2:E; indirect(Settings!B1)=Settings!B2)
Thank you so much.
Indirect was what I was looking for.
It seems to work like a charm!!

Google sheet, Is their a way to use "sparkline" formula for vertical data?

I never been even saw the "sparkline" formula since today.
When I have some data on column A2:A, could it be a way use "sparkline" formula for those? without rearrange the data horizontally on other cells but only by putting some formula on cell "A1"?
Sorry I didn't meant to answer my own question but, I could do by putting {"charttype","column"} at the end of the sheet. I just found right after post this question.
on A1
=sparkline(A2:A,{"charttype","column"})
I thought it could be advance or hidden tips to manage as I couldn't find a way by search on google. however, It's the way and glad to find new cool function today for me.
