I have 2 sheets which are connected.
Sheet-1: Has ID column and Status column (Status field is manually updated by the team)
Sheet-2: Has ID column and Status column (+ many other fields)
Requirement: Status column in Sheet 2 to be updated from Sheet-1 if ID column in sheet-2 = ID column in Sheet-1
I wrote a Query and ImportRange, but I could find Query working only when I compare it against a static value (for e.g. Yes). What I want is it to check against the value in ID column from both the sheets and import only for rows that match.
=QUERY(IMPORTRANGE("1ZkPaYb1IIIkcbVerdmZ-Ru1vxFu1YMWj74QNQj2jles", "Ops Action Sheet!B2:B10000"),"select Col2 where Col1 = 'Yes'")
This doesn't directly answer your question about using QUERY, but I believe that that function might not be the best tool for what you're trying to do.
I write below a solution using the alternative function VLOOKUP.
I am assuming here that by "Sheet-1" and "Sheet-2", you actually mean entirely different spreadsheets, judging by your use of IMPORTRANGE.
If you don't mind having a copy of Sheet-1's contents living within Sheet-2, here is what you can do:
On a new sheet (tab) in Sheet-2, copy this function (fill in sheet_1_url):
=IMPORTRANGE("sheet_1_url", "Ops Action Sheet!$A:$B")
You should see a copy of the data from Sheet-1 in that tab. You can hide this tab or protect it if you wish.
On your main data tab within Sheet-2, copy this formula in your Status column (assuming that your ID is in A2:
=IFERROR(VLOOKUP($A2,range_from_step_1,2,),)
Copy that formula down as much as you need.
However, if you don't want to have a copy of Sheet-1's data in Sheet-2 for whatever reason, you can simply skip steps 1-2 above, going straight to step 3, with the following formula in Sheet-2:
=IFERROR(VLOOKUP($A2,IMPORTRANGE("sheet_1_url", "Ops Action Sheet!$A:$B"),2,),)
Not that I recommend it, since you'd technically be importing your data virtually within the formula N number of times, which will be a huge performance hit.
You can see the references for the formulas used above here:
IMPORTRANGE
VLOOKUP
IFERROR
edit to reflect and paste in spreadsheet 2:
=ARRAYFORMULA(IFERROR(VLOOKUP(A2:A, IMPORTRANGE("ID", "Sheet!A:C"), {2, 3}, 0)))
A2:A - column of IDs in spreadsheet 2
Sheet!A:C - column A of this range hosts IDs
{2, 3} - brings column B and C from spreadsheet 1 into spreadsheet 2

Hey Stack Overflow Sheets, I have a question regarding a use case we want to create in our Google Sheet, either with built-in functionality, or with an extension like Sheetgo.
We have 2 sheets with multiple of the same columns (properties) and rows (users). The problem is that only one of the sheets is a trusted source for one column’s data (“source sheet”), and the other sheet has empty or outdated values for the same column (“outdated sheet”), and we need both sheets to have this column match values in rows that have a matching value for another column across both sheets (in our case, an “email” column). After they’re matching, we want to change the formula to sync any changes made for that column between both sheets.
Here’s an obfuscated data example:
Source sheet:
https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1uxqC3lB15UHhKTzjZyzzVIj5tlPjhCCCZ48xHYEcm0o/edit?usp=sharing
Outdated sheet:
https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1ckoCh8gMwt2QeBRH1dB2dyFPJUukrjQ-SCgucTL8rhc/edit?usp=sharing
In the example, we’re looking for a formula that would allow us to have a “Type” column value injected into the Outdated Sheet’s Type column, based on both sheet’s matching Email column value. And then, have it so if a row’s “Type” value changes in either doc, the other doc follows.
What formula or extension would I use to go about this? Any help appreciated, thanks!
I tried to create a VLOOKUP and MATCH formula, but I couldn't yet figure out how to have the function first LOOKUP into the Source Sheet, then inject it into the Outdated Sheet based on a matched email column value. Sheetgo made the LOOKUP easier, but I still couldn't figure out how to do an exact operation.
Use importrange() and vlookup(). Put this formula in cell A1 of the target spreadsheet:
=arrayformula(
lambda(
import,
iferror(
vlookup(
C1:C,
{ index(import, 0, 3), index(import, 0, 1) },
2, false
)
)
)(
importrange("1uxqC3lB15UHhKTzjZyzzVIj5tlPjhCCCZ48xHYEcm0o", "Sheet1!A1:F")
)
)
I have a Google Form that collects a bunch of data from dropdown questions on a Sheet with each question going to one column (as normal). On separate sheets, I want to be able to count how many times each option is selected.
Here is an example of what the response sheet might look like. A, B, and C are all questions.
I would then have separate sheets for 'Person?', 'Place?', and 'Thing?'. The 'Person?' sheet would look something like this:
I want to be able to add in the count of each time the option appears for that question. In the example, notice that 'Napoleon" is in both Col A and Col C. If I just count the number of times 'Napoleon' appears, I will get '2' even though he only appears once in the "Person?" responses.
I originally used a QUERY function like =QUERY('Input Data'!1:1000, "select count(A) where A contains '"&$A2&"'",0). BUT, I need it to be dynamic. So the "Person?" question may not always be Col A. I want the Query (or whatever formula) to search the headers and only return the count of that option for that question even if the column location changes.
Okay, I figured it out! In case someone else is curious, I used this formula:
=QUERY({'Input Data'!A1:L}, "SELECT COUNT(Col"&MATCH("Person?", 'Input Data'!1:1,0)&") WHERE Col"&MATCH("Person?", 'Input Data'!1:1,0)&" CONTAINS '"&$A2&"' label COUNT(Col"&MATCH("Person?", 'Input Data'!1:1,0)&") ''",0)
Lee, I sent you a PM about your most recent post, but in the process, I came across this one. There is no need for multiple formulas or manual entry references. One formula can produce the entire report with headers, listing and counts:
=IFERROR(QUERY(FILTER(FILTER(A:L,A:A<>""),A1:L1="Person?"),"Select Col1, COUNT(Col1) GROUP BY Col1 ORDER BY Col1 LABEL COUNT(Col1) 'Count'",1),"No Matches")
Just fill in the header your looking for between the quotes where Person? is now.
The double FILTERs mean "Start with only rows where Col A is not null and Row 1 reads 'Person?'"
Then QUERY simply returns the unique names in the left column and their counts in the right column. Because the QUERY had a final parameter of 1, any existing header will be kept (in this case, the one you were searching for); and the created column will receive a header (i.e., LABEL) of Count.
IFERROR will give a friendly error message if no matches are found (in which case check that what you entered for the search in the formula exactly matches a column header in the range).
I have a Google Sheet that has a Google Form populating the results of many games that a friend and I play. I have created a new column and added a formula to the top cell in that column and just copied it down the column:
=JOIN(" / ",(FILTER(MyDecks!B$2:B,MyDecks!A$2:A=B5)),(FILTER(HisDecks!B$2:B,HisDecks!A$2:A=C5)))
MyDecks column A is a list of deck names.
MyDecks column B is an attribute of each deck, which is the desired return value.
B5 and C5 are both within columns of the Sheet tab where the formula exists.
The output when using the formula above is something like "M / P", for example.
This formula however, currently has to be copied and pasted, or just extended down to the new cells any time I add another entry with the Google Form.
I would like this formula to be altered so that it will function the same as it does currently, but have it reside within the column head itself so that new entries will just accept and render the formula automatically for the new entries that I create.
I have tried:
=ArrayFormula(IF(ROW(D:D)=4,"Matchup",IF(ISBLANK(C:C),"",JOIN(" / ",(FILTER(MyDecks!B$2:B,MyDecks!A$2:A=B$5:B)),(FILTER(HisDecks!B$2:B,HisDecks!A$2:A=C$5:C))))))
and many other iterations of the same idea, to no avail. I am a novice and am hoping that there is an easy solution to my issue.
use:
={"Matchup"; ARRAYFORMULA(IFNA(
VLOOKUP(B5:B, JoeDecks!A2:B, 2, 0)&" / "&
VLOOKUP(C5:C, BryanDecks!A2:B, 2, 0)))}
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'm using Filter function using Google Sheets but can't use it the way I want, it has been 3 days...
Basically I have Sheet 1 with a column "e-mail" and column "Lead ID". The Sheet 2 has the same "Lead ID", but it's filtered. Meaning, Sheet 1 it' sequential with 1,2,3,4,5...and sheet 2 it's not, it's like 2,4,5,23,41... What I want to to find the right e-mail address that's in Sheet 1, that has the same Lead ID in both. I've used Filter function which works really well because it updated the rows and I dont need to drag the cell. But in this case this is not working:
ABD!C:C it's the E-mail Column.
ABD!T:T it's the Lead ID Column Sheet 1
A:A It's Lead ID Column Sheet 2.
=FILTER(ABD!C:C,ABD!T:T=A:A)
It returns the name of the column (e-mail) and not the actual e-mail address. If I use A2 instead of the column A:A, it works. But I can't use that way because I need to drag that cell and that causes a problem. I need to use this as the filter works which doesn't require to drag the cell.
=FILTER(ABD!C:C,ABD!T:T=A2)

Any advice?
use:
=ARRAYFORMULA(IFNA(VLOOKUP(A2:A, {ABD!T:T, ABD!B:B}, 2, 0)))
