I found a complex formula that I am using but I want to edit it so it adds the value from another cell to the output.
See Sheet1 here:

I need to edit the formula in cell D4 so it appends the result with the corresponding value from column B.
maybe:
=ARRAYFORMULA(IF(C4:C="",,TRIM(TRANSPOSE(SPLIT(QUERY(
REPT(Data!B5:B&"♠", Data!A2), ,999^99), "♠")))&"-"&B4:B))

I would like to colour cell C3 red, as the value is less than the next filled cell on row 3 (E3).
You need custom formula in the formatting rules for range C2:W.
And you can use the formula below for green:
=and(not(isblank(C2)),C2>index(filter(D2:$W2,arrayformula(not(isblank(D2:$W2))))),1,1)
And make another conditional formatting rule with the same range and change > accordingly for red.
Note that the equal case does not have formatting in your example.
To understand why, there are a few components at work. I'll give an outline in case OP or any passer-by wants one.
First is how conditional formatting in Google Sheet works. I will be brief here. The range we put in the rule is C2:W. Google Sheet will use the beginning cell in that range as a reference. For C2:W, the 1st cell is C2. In the formula, the cells are read in terms of relative position to that reference cell. So when evaluating formatting for cell C2, it treats the formula as is. But, for example, when evaluating formatting for cell C3, Google Sheet iterates all non-fixed ranges by 1 row. Another example: for D3, all non-fixed ranges are iterated by 1 row and 1 column.
Whenever the formula evaluates to true, the format will be applied -- although that is subject to further formatting if you have subsequent formatting rules which apply to the given cell.
Next are the components of the conditional formula.
not(isblank(C2)) checks for blank cells and makes the whole formula only true when the cell is non-blank.
For filter() usage, please consult official documentation. I will explain how filter() is applied to your example.
In our use, we are trying to rid of empty cells in the range that is on the same row as the cell in question and goes from the next column to column W. (I am using column W because there is no known end column in your image. Please adjust to your application accordingly.) Same row as C2 means row 2. Hence the digit 2 in D2:$W2. No $ sign for row because row index is meant to iterate through our range C2:W in the formatting rule. No $ sign for D because we mean 1 column next to the cell in question and the exact column index should iterate. We fix column W because the end column does not evolve and is thus not meant to iterate. Neglecting this will not particularly change the result in your example. However, it is good to be clear with the meanings.
arrayformula(not(isblank(D2:$W2))) produces a local row array whose cells are true/false that each represents whether the corresponding cell is non-blank. filter() in turn only keeps cells from D2:$W2 for cells in arrayformula(not(isblank(D2:$W2))) that are true.
We only care about the 1st non-blank cell. To retrieve the 1st cell from a (local) array, we use index(...,1,1). (That said, omitting index() also happens to work for the 1st cell in particular because when comparing a single cell with > or < to an array range, only the 1st cell of the array is used.)
Apply a conditional formatting to the range desired (starting from cell C2) using this formula:
=IF(C2="",FALSE,OFFSET(C2,0,AGGREGATE(15,6,(COLUMN(D2:W2)-COLUMN(D2)+1)/(D2:W2<>""),1))>C2)
I have a table of content on google sheet where word list on column B and image name on column C. On column C image name is not given for every cell. Now I need to use ARRAYFORMULA on Cell D1 where it will give the output (Word name and Image Name) on Column D if Row of Column A is not empty. If you look at the attached screenshot, for some Word there is no image name given on column C. In this case I need the image name that used last time.
For example: On Row 17 for WORD 4 there is no image name given. So, in this case the image name will be Image 2 from cell C12 that used previously for WORD 3. I tried it in many different ways but never able to do it with ARRAYFORMULA. The only solution I am using right now is using formula for every row which is not a good solution. I need to do it with ARRAYFORMULA. I don't want to do it with google script.

I have added a sheet ("Erik Help") with the following formula in D1:
=ArrayFormula({"Header";IF(A2:A="",,B2:B&" : "&VLOOKUP(ROW(A2:A),FILTER({ROW(A2:A),C2:C},C2:C<>""),2,TRUE))})
This one array formula creates a header and then fills the entire column with results.
You can change "Header" to whatever you like.
IF(A2:A="",, just leaves D2:D null if nothing is in that row of Col A.
Otherwise, whatever is in B2:B is concatenated with a space-colon-space and then a VLOOKUP of all rows within a FILTERed virtual array that contains only rows and Col-C data where Col C is not blank. Because TRUE is chosen as the final parameter, all rows will "look backward" to the last row where Col C did contain data and return that data as the final piece to be concatenated.
=if(isnumber(SEARCH("WORD",B2,1)),join(" : ",B2, indirect(ARRAYFORMULA(address(IFNA(match(2,1/($C$2:$C2<>"")))+1,COLUMN(C2))))),"")
past this formula in D1 cell and drag it ...
I have a sheet with several numbers, which I want to convert to percentage. These are scores imported from a form, where the maximum score is 5.
According to the bellow image, the cell B2, I applied a basic formula =(3/5)*100% to convert three to 60%.
In order to avoid copy and paste the same formula into all cells, is there any formula to find all the cells and apply its value, divide per 5 and multiple per 100%? I thought something similar to Javascript such as (this/5)*100%.
https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1ZtqJaXy1pHkjk1sywGfSodo0FcOoLlkou79cZBk-jmU/edit?usp=sharing
you could treat it as array and on Sheet2 use:
=ARRAYFORMULA(IF(Sheet1!B2:AA="";;(Sheet1!B2:AA/5)*100%))

I've also looked for a solution to this for some time.
I don't think it's possible as a cell can only hold one value and the moment you try to change that value, it will delete the value.
Your best bet is to create a different table on the same sheet that references the specified values, then copy and paste the results (values only).
Just create a second Sheet, then in cell B2 of Sheet2 use the formula =Sheet1!B2/5*100%.
Then copy the formula to all cells of Sheet2.
I have this formula which sums up several columns in another sheet. The sheet that the formula is referencing to always has the same name as the cell next to it.
Instead of having to rewrite the formula for every cell in the column, is there a way I can just simply check for a sheet with the same name as the cell next to it? The cell ranges will always be the same.
You should use INDIRECT formula. This allows you to write references as strings.
Instead of 'Round 3'!C5:C you can write: INDIRECT("'"&C2&"'!C5:C") (assuming that word Round 3 is in C3).
Whole function looks like this (assuming that active cell is D2)
=SUM(INDIRECT("'"&C2&"'!C5:C"),INDIRECT("'"&C2&"'!G5:G"),INDIRECT("'"&C2&"'!K5:K"),INDIRECT("'"&C2&"'!O5:O"),INDIRECT("'"&C2&"'!S5:S"))
I'm trying to get a cell to highlight with a certain color if the text of two other cells match. Has anyone else done this?
Example:
If the value in the cell A2 is "Car" and the value "Car" is in a range on another sheet, can the cell B2 be filled with a color?
Assuming a range on another sheet is ColumnC of Sheet2, then select B2, apply the Conditional Formatting custom formula:
=match(A2,indirect("Sheet2!C:C"),0)
and certain colour fill.
This can be achieved using conditional formatting.
Select the cell (B2 in your example) and in the menu bar go to Format > Conditional Formatting...
Here you want to use a custom formula. Specifically for your example, the formula to input would be:
=AND(A2="Car",COUNTIF(C2:C5,"Car")>0)
Note that the range that is being checked for "Car" is C2:C5, since you didn't specify any for your example.
EDIT:
Following the discussion in the comments:
=COUNTIF(Sheet2!$C:$C,A2)>0
What this does, is that it looks for the value in A2 in column C in Sheet2 and if it occurs once or more, the cell that you have applied this conditional formatting to, will be coloured.
