Is there a way to join multiple vlookups? - google-sheets

I have a spreadsheet I am entering information from a fundraiser in. I have many parts of it done and it seems like what I'm running into should be easier. I have 3 rows set up for each fundraising program, the first row contains a few pieces of incidental information and then a series of dates/times/dollar amounts. I need to search through this range for every dollar amount that came in at, for example, 7:00 am and add them together. I would like this list to come in starting at L1 in the sample sheet and correspond to the list of times in column K.
I will also need to total all the contributions based on a topic which is the cell under the title of the program - but I should be able to figure that out once I move on to it.
A sample sheet is here: https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1Kg7XhIgzI0o0uIuGg0RTzv7j_bne8pk6DUwSecIXa9E/edit?usp=sharing
I have tried a variety of formulas using ArrayFormula, VLOOKUP, and filter. I've found examples online using each of those functions that seemed like they should work but didn't. One stopped at the first result it came to and another looked like it was creating a list of what it was found in the cell instead of adding them together.
My current unsuccessful code is:
=vlookup(K1, $H$46:$J$164, 2, 0)
This appears as if it is stopping after encountering the first 0. It's definitely not adding in cell I50
I expect the results for 7:00 am to be $406 but I get $0.

paste in L1 cell:
=ARRAYFORMULA(IFERROR(VLOOKUP(TO_TEXT(K1:K35), TO_TEXT(QUERY({
FILTER(H46:I, MOD(ROW(INDIRECT("A4:A"&ROWS(A46:A)+3)), 4)=0);
FILTER(K46:L, MOD(ROW(INDIRECT("A4:A"&ROWS(A46:A)+3)), 4)=0);
FILTER(N46:O, MOD(ROW(INDIRECT("A4:A"&ROWS(A46:A)+3)), 4)=0);
FILTER(Q46:R, MOD(ROW(INDIRECT("A4:A"&ROWS(A46:A)+3)), 4)=0)},
"select Col1,sum(Col2)
where Col1 is not null
group by Col1
label sum(Col2)''", 0)), 2, 0), 0)*1)

Only apply complex arrayformula() to rows with certain value in dataset

I have a quite complext formula (i mean that is complex to me) that Tom Sharpe helped me building to aggregate values and ordering them by months in a row(you can find the details in the original post but i think you'll only need the final formula which is:
=ArrayFormula(mmult(sequence(1,counta(A2:A),1,0), if((C2:index(C:C,counta(C:C))<=eomonth(G2,sequence(1,datedif(G2,H2,"M")+1,0)))* (D2:index(D:D,counta(D:D))>=eomonth(G2,sequence(1,datedif(G2,H2,"M")+1,0))),E2:index(E:E,counta(E:E)),0)))
and here is the result -> [J1:U1]
Now, what i would need to do as the final step is to be able to group data by a certain label (John or Jane in the example) on separate rows, but mantaining the order/aggregate by month on the row. On the example, this would mean having one row with only 'John' data and below, one with 'Jane' values.
I am struggling to understand how to adapt the formula to do so.
I have tried:
Using another array to first return a list of these labels with query(unique()) or something like that, but then i struggle looping in it with the other formula.
A bit more simplistic but it could work after all: on the 1st row (the cell next to where the data will be returned) writing 'John', on row 2 'Jane' and then using filter() to only pull data that matches. The 'John, Jane' value is for the example but the real labels won't be that many, the list of labels don't need to be dynamic.
The thing with these solutions is that they work when used separately, but i can't figure out how to nest this in the first arrayformula() that Tom helped me with...As i am just beginning with the google sheets queries.
I don't really need necessarily the complete formula/code but maybe just directions or tips to visualize the way i could solve this.
Thanks to all who might contribute
With hindsight I might have done better to go down the route of using a query to calculate the sums on my previous answer rather than Mmult.
This uses the same method as before to create a 2d array of amounts vs dates (going across) and individuals (going down). Then it uses Textjoin to generate a query to group by name with the required number of columns.
=ArrayFormula(query({A2:A,if((C2:C<=eomonth(G2,sequence(1,datedif(G2,H2,"M")+1,0)))* (D2:D>=eomonth(G2,sequence(1,datedif(G2,H2,"M")+1,0))),E2:E,0)},
"select Col1,sum(Col"&textjoin("),sum(Col",,sequence(1,datedif(G2,H2,"M")+1,2))&") where Col1 is not null group by Col1"))
This is the generated query
select Col1,sum(Col2),sum(Col3),sum(Col4),sum(Col5),sum(Col6),sum(Col7),sum(Col8),sum(Col9),sum(Col10),sum(Col11),sum(Col12),sum(Col13) where Col1 is not null group by Col1
Ideally there should be an extra section saying label sum(Col2) '' etc. to suppress the 'Sum' headers.
=ArrayFormula(query({A2:A,if((C2:C<=eomonth(G2,sequence(1,datedif(G2,H2,"M")+1,0)))* (D2:D>=eomonth(G2,sequence(1,datedif(G2,H2,"M")+1,0))),E2:E,0)},
"select Col1,sum(Col"&textjoin("),sum(Col",,sequence(1,datedif(G2,H2,"M")+1,2))&") where Col1 is not null group by Col1 label sum(Col" & textjoin(") '', sum(Col",,sequence(1,datedif(G2,H2,"M")+1,2)) & ") ''"))

Lookup Acct. Balance on specified day in Google Sheets

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.

Query particular row + remove X columns + and sum the rest in one formula?

I have a CSV file that I'm pulling from a database. It's in an awkward layout so I need to reorganise it and display the result in a separate sheet.
Here is a dummy example of the data structure I get.
https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1sTfjr-rd0vMIeb3qgBaq9SC8felJ1Pb4Vk_fMNXQKQg/edit?usp=sharing
It looks like that. The database grows every day by date and sometimes countries so I need to account to that in my formula.
I need to pull data per each country and display it by date.
I don't need data from Column A, C and D. And when there are multiple states I need to sum them up in one column.
It should look like this and keep growing downwards. I'm gonna use this table for a graph chart
What I've tried so far
=TRANSPOSE(QUERY(IMPORTRANGE("url_to_a_separate_sheet_where_I_importing_a_row_csv_file", "CSV-source-sheet!A1:500"), "SELECT * WHERE Col2='Germany'"))
This works, kinda. But pulls in unnecessary columns and I can't figure out how to sum countries with multiple states. When I add select sum(*) it gives me a big and long error. I assume it might be because of unnecessary columns that the formula cant sum up and I don't know how to omit them. I'm stuck
I tried offset and skipping no luck. Any ideas?
try:
=ARRAYFORMULA(TRANSPOSE(QUERY({Sheet2!B:B, Sheet2!E:BE},
"select Col1,"&TEXTJOIN(",", 1,
"sum(Col"&ROW(INDIRECT("Sheet2!A2:A"&COUNTA(Sheet2!1:1)-5))&")")&"
where Col1 is not null
group by Col1
label Col1'Date'", 1)))

Google Sheets Query returning results that don't exist in the source list

I am creating a budget tracker within Google Sheets. I am having trouble with Google Query Language returning results that do not exist in the source data
I have a Google Form into which expenditure can be entered, which populates an associated Sheet in my Google Drive. My Master budget tracker also sits within my Google Drive. I use IMPORTRANGE to pull the data into the Master from the Responses spreadsheet, and then Query to separate this out into different 'expenditure' categories on sheets within the workbook (one for each month). February worked perfectly - all expenditure was found and summed correctly and then the February sheet was duplicated for each month of the year, the formulae or look up terms updated. But March is acting strangely - it is returning a value for March that doesn't exist - and not only does the summed value not exist but the word 'March' also does not exist either, so shouldn't be matching. I have tweaked the code, tried refreshing and rewriting the formula into the cell to force a refresh, re-imported the range from the external spreadsheet, I have tried various parentheses placements (I'm not a SQL or Google Query Language expert, so am feeling my way a bit) as I thought it was something to do with the AND/OR clauses not being 'collated', but none has produced even a different result, it's always the same false value being returned
The query code is as follows:
=query(spend, "select sum(B) where H = '"&$H$1&"' and E='Leisure' or E='Tickets' or E='Parking' or E='Other' label sum(B) ''", -1)
'spend' is the range containing the data imported from the Responses spreadsheet, which includes several post form completion formulae coding the row with a day and a month. Right now, there are only values coded as 'February' in H - nothing else. Cell H1 contains the month name (written in, not formula). This formula works perfectly within the 'February' sheet, and if I update cell H1 to read 'February' in the March sheet it shows the accurate values for February, however, if I enter 'March' in H1 I am getting the odd outcome
I am expecting a £0 result for March, but instead, I am getting a value of £19.46. As previously described - the source list 'spend' only contains values coded as February in H, and the value £19.46 does not appear singularly in the list (and doesn't appear to be made by any values when 'summed'). I am at a loss as to what is happening, and no answers seem to address the appearance of mystery values, so I hope I'm not repeating old ground - please do correct me if I am, and many thanks in advance for any guidance
you picked 19.46 because even if H1 wasn't found in Query, Query continued to evaluate for AND and OR statements and sum up a bunch of nonsense
=IFERROR(IF(QUERY(spend,
"select count(H)
where H='"&$H$1&"'
label count(H)''", 0)>0,
QUERY(spend, "select sum(B)
where (H='"&$H$1&"')
AND (E='Leisure')
OR (E='Tickets')
OR (E='Parking')
OR (E='Other')
label sum(B)''", -1), ), )
I think you might just want to try this:
=query(spend, "select sum(B) where H = '"&$H$1&"' AND (E='Leisure' OR E='Tickets' OR E='Parking' OR E='Other') label sum(B) ''", -1)
EDIT: This will cause an error since it will return an empty query, so try this instead.
=iferror(query(spend, "select sum(B) where H = '"&$H$1&"' AND (E='Leisure' OR E='Tickets' OR E='Parking' OR E='Other') label sum(B) ''", -1),0)

Google Sheet - Transform two columns into one column using arrayformula (more than 50,000 characters)

I'm using Google Sheets and looking for an arrayformula that able to take a list in two columns and arrange it alternately in one column. The sheet contains about 5,000 rows, each row has more than 35 characters.
I tried this:
=transpose(split(join(" ", query(transpose(B5:C),,50000)), " "))
But then I got this message:
Please take a look at the sheet here:
https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/11T1Roj1trviOSiiTZS292-4l3oODid7KLi9oGz3Z66o/edit#gid=0
Assuming your 2 columns are A and B, this formula will "interlace" them:
=query(
sort(
{arrayformula({row(A1:A3)*2, A1:A3});
arrayformula({row(B1:B3)*2+1, B1:B3})}
),
"select Col2")
Explanation, unwrapping the formula from the inside:
Each value gets a unique number, based on its row number times 2 (+1 for the 2nd column)
Everything is sorted based on this number
Only the 2nd column is extracted for the result.
There is a function for this called FLATTEN().
This works perfectly as a general solution since it takes an array of any size and outputs the items in the order they appear left-right-top-down (See here).
It can be combined with TRANSPOSE() to accomplish the same thing but in the horizontal case, and if needed blank cells can be omitted with FILTER().
EDIT:
My sincere apologies, I did not read the question carefully enough. My response is incorrect.
This should work:
={B5:B12;C5:C12}
just be careful to NOT change it to
={B5:B;C5:C}
This will start an infinite loop where the spreadsheet will increase the amount of rows in the spreadsheet to allow this output column to expand, but in doing so increases the length of the 2 input columns, meaning the length of the output column increases even more, so the spreadsheet tries adding more rows, etc, etc. It'll make your sheet crash your browser or something each time you try to open it.
In Row5:
=ArrayFormula(offset(B$5,INT((row()-5)/2),iseven(row())))
Would need to be copied down however.
