I'm wondering if this is doable in Google Sheets.
I have product and ingredient list in a named range called Goods
I want to display a summary of what ingredients are needed in one cell. For example, I want the cell to say for 2 Wheat, 2 carrot.
So in natural language, I would like to look at the row, and if it has a value in it, then return that value and the header value, if it has 0 or null, I want to skip it.
Is this possible?
while there are various ways how to get partial ranges from Named ranges, in a long run it is more clumsy than not using Named ranges. but possible. for example to get headers:
=INDEX(Goods, 1, )
using INDEX, FILTER, QUERY, OFFSET, ARRAY_CONSTRAIN you can get various pieces of what you need.
alternative:
=ARRAYFORMULA(TRIM(TRANSPOSE(QUERY(TRANSPOSE(
IF(E4:P10<>"", E3:P3&" "&E4:P10, )),,999^99))))
=ARRAYFORMULA(REGEXREPLACE(TRIM(TRANSPOSE(QUERY(TRANSPOSE(
IF(E4:P10<>"", E4:P10&" "&E3:P3&",", )),,999^99))), ",$", ))

I have a table like this one here (basically it's data from a google form with multiple choice answers in column A and B and non-muliple choice data in column C) I need a separate row for each multiple choice answer.
Column A
Column B
Email
A,B
XX,YY
1#gmail.com
A,C
FF,DD
2#gmail.com
I tried to un-nest the first column and keep the remaining columns like this
enter image description here
I tried several approaches I found with flatten and split with array formulas but I don't know where to start really.
Any help or hint would be much appreciated!
You can use the split function on the column A and after that, use the index function. Considering the table, you can use:
=index(split(A2,","),1,1)
The split function separate the text using the delimiter indicated, returning an array with 1 line and 2 columns; the index function will return the first line and the first column from this array. To return the second element from the column A, just change to
=index(split(A2,","),1,2)
I think there's no easy solution for this. You're asking for as many combinations of elements as multiple-choice elections have been made. Any function in Google Sheets has its potentials and limitations about how many elements it can express. One very useful formula here is REDUCE. With REDUCE and sequences of elements separated by commas counted with COUNTA, you can stablish this formula:
=QUERY(REDUCE({"Col A","Col B","Email"},SEQUENCE(COUNTA(A2:A)),LAMBDA(z,c,{z;LAMBDA(ax,bx,
REDUCE({"","",""},SEQUENCE(ax),LAMBDA(w,a,
{w;
REDUCE({"","",""},SEQUENCE(bx),LAMBDA(y,b,
{y;INDEX(SPLIT(INDEX(A2:A,c),","),,a),INDEX(SPLIT(INDEX(B2:B,c),","),,b),INDEX(C2:C,c)}
))})))
(COUNTA(SPLIT(INDEX(A2:A,c),",")),COUNTA(SPLIT(INDEX(B2:B,c),",")))})),
"Where Col1 is not null",1)
Since I had to use a "initial value" in every REDUCE, I then used QUERY to filter the empty values:
I have a google sheet with multiple tabs, one of the tabs is for holding each observation of data while another needs to combine data based on certain criteria. I am trying to use a SUMIFS within and ARRAYFORMULA to get the correct information and it will only pull "0" no matter what I try.
I have set up a test google sheet with some dummy information to show an example of what I need to do in a more complex situation.
https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1JLyEuVijQ8MvfOKrtbRD_YKmRDnTCxf7qCSw9Ggty_Y/edit#gid=1250575550
In this example, the data tab is the individual observations and the sums tab is where I'm trying to pull combinations. I need column D to sum the totals in column E on the data tab if the Month and Year and Type all match what is on the sums sheet. In this example, cell D3 on the sums tab should equal 11.
you cannot use SUMIFS() in Arrayformula(), along with many other functions, though there is no formal documented list.
In your case you can use a SUMIF() instead by &'ing the condtions together.
I've demoed the concept on a new tab called MK_Help in cell D2:
=ARRAYFORMULA(IF(ROW(A2:A) = ROW(A2), "# TOTAL TYPE", IF(A2:A = "", , SUMIF(data!A:A&data!B:B&data!C:C,A2:A&B2:B&C2:C,data!E:E))))
Note that I made a couple of other small changes to your formula.
Namely, that you should always use a true "empty" instead of double quotes in your IF() mask up front tor return empty when there's no value in A. Double quotes("") is actually not quite empty for many other things in Google sheets.
Also I modified your header conndition from ROW(A2:A)=2 to ROW(A2:A) = ROW(A2). I find that this is a more flexible condition for the header as it allows you to potentially insert/delete rows above the header without breaking things.
It seems QUERY() may be good choice. Try-
=QUERY(data!A2:E,"select A,B,C, sum(E) where A is not null group by A,B,C",1)
If you need specific month then you can add criteria to where clause like-
=QUERY(data!A2:E,"select A,B,C, sum(E) where A =5 group by A,B,C",1)
Sounded so simple! I have a sheet called "Account", containing a running balance in column "G" and I have another sheet called "Performance", with a table which lists historical dates and column "D" needs to lookup the account balance on the day stated in column "A".
"Account" Sheet
"Performance" Sheet
For example, Performance!D2 should be "210,000.00".
Performance!D7 should be "110,000.00".
Performance!D9 would be "40,000.00".
To make this slightly more difficult I like to put formulas into the heading row as arrayformulas where possible, to avoid problems when copying and pasting data or adding new rows, etc.
I've tried many different possibilities and nothing has worked. I'm currently trying to make the following formula work, which is in Performance!D1.
=ARRAYFORMULA(if(row(D1:D) = 1, "Cash", VLOOKUP(A1:A, MIN('Balance'!A4:A <= A1:A), 7, 1)))
I've also tried some solutions involving MATCH(), FILTER(), VLOOKUP() and LOOKUP() but so far no cookie!
this should work:
=ARRAYFORMULA({"Cash";if(A2:A="",,VLOOKUP(A2:A, SORT('Account'!A4:G),7,TRUE))})
VLOOKUP(...,true) returns the value associated with the closest match in the first column without going over. Provided that the range into which you're doing the vlookup is sorted by the first column of that range.
I need a system that allows to filters entries by different text tags.
Say we store info about some products. We have Red Apples, Pears, Watermelons, Cucumbers, Peppers and Bread. We store them in sheet named "Data" in column A. Next columns are occupied by tags, like Red Apples are Red, Sweet, Fruit, Unpacked; Peppers are Red, Spicy, Veggie, Packed; Bread is just Packed.
Then on another sheet we have a dedicated range, say A1:A10, which can accept any data tag, like Spicy or Packed. What I need is when somebody enters Spicy and Packed in this range, it looks up all items that are Spicy and Packed and displays them, so in this case it would display Peppers in B1 cell.
To recap: Data!A:A - entry names, Data!B:Z - tags, Main!A1:A10 - tags entered by user, Main!B:B - entries with tags, that correspond to those entered in A1:A10.
I was trying to use FILTER, but I can't figure out how to select proper condition ranges. I feel like this should be possible within this system and I really don't want to delve into scripting field.
This can be achieved using a helper column to collect all the tags and then a =query() formula.
1)
Start by creating a multi-tag column using either =join() or =textjoin(), capturing all the potential tags for each product.
2)
Then use this answer to help you create the =query() formula needed.
There is a pretty simple solution to this.
You would need to add a helper column and count how many tags does your item has from the listed ones, using this formula
=SUM(ARRAYFORMULA(COUNTIF(B1:1,'Main'!$A$1:$A$10)))
Next, in your presentation sheet reserve some place where you can enter tags - one at a time. In my case, it's range A1:A10. Then just paste this formula anywhere else
=IFERROR(FILTER(Data!$B:$B,Data!$A:$A=(10-COUNTBLANK($A$1:$A$10))),"")
At that place, all suitable elements will show up. I also added sorting to the formula, cause why not.
You can use more tags, for that just increase the tag range and edit formula so when there are no tags entered, COUNTIF gives 0.
if Data sheet looks like this:
and you need "constructive" list, you can do:
=SORT(FILTER(Data!A2:A, REGEXMATCH(TRANSPOSE(QUERY(TRANSPOSE(Data!B2:Z),,999^99)),
TEXTJOIN("|", 1, A1:A10))))
spreadsheet demo
if you need a "destructive" list do:
=ARRAYFORMULA(SORT(QUERY({Data!A2:A, TRANSPOSE(QUERY(TRANSPOSE(Data!B2:Z),,999^99))},
"select Col1 where "&TEXTJOIN(" and ", 1, IF(A1:A10<>"",
"Col2 contains '"&A1:A10&"'", ))&"", 0)))
I'm looking for a way to add together a dynamically generated list of ranges using (I'm guessing) an ARRAYFORMULA.
The normal way of attacking this is fine if there is a known list of ranges, the example of the results I want would work using this:
=ARRAYFORMULA( A1:A10 + B1:B10 )
In the case I'm after I want to add together ranges in multiple sheets. I don't want the users to have to manually adjust the array formula every time they add a new sheet to be calculated, and I also want to be able to add some logic to include or remove the particular sheet from the calculation, but for now I'm happy to ignore that and just focus on adding cells together.
My approach to this was to create a column with a list of names, each one matching a sheet in the document, and then using that list to dynamically build the list of ranges to add together, using INDIRECT.
.------------.
| sheet1 | <---- SheetListNamedRange
|------------|
| sheet2 |
`------------'
Here's a quick example
=ARRAYFORMULA( INDIRECT("'" & SheetListNamedRange & "'!D4:75") )
There are lots of failure modes depending on how it's done, but this particular formula only puts in the values of the first sheet and ignores any others, which I guess makes sense.
What I'm after is kind of the equivalent of i++ in a loop found in a normal coding language. Is there some way of making this work?
If I understand you correctly, you'd like to get a list generated based on different ranges across different sheets. If your case is as simple as the one you mention in the beginning of your post, the following would do the job.
={Sheet1!A1:A2; Sheet2!B1:B2}
If you want the sum of all these values, you can use SUM.
=SUM({Sheet1!A1:A2; Sheet2!B1:B2})
Please let me know if this isn't what you were looking for, so I can change the answer accordingly.
you can't refer to array of arrays in INDIRECT. you will need to INDIRECT each sheet which contains array.
=SUMPRODUCT(ARRAYFORMULA(INDIRECT(A1&"!"&"D:D")+
INDIRECT(A2&"!"&"D:D")+
INDIRECT(A3&"!"&"D:D")+
INDIRECT(A4&"!"&"D:D")))
note1: in this case result is 25 as sum of 10 + 15.
10 is sum of sheet1!D:D
and 15 is sum of sheet2!D:D
note2: there is no sheet3 and sheet4 which is equal to 0 in INDIRECT
note3: D:D of the sheet where you have the list of sheets needs to be empty
