I'm trying to create an Activity tracker for a game. However, I'm trying to use the LOOKUP function to track activity throughout 3 different sheets. However, the LOOKUP function does not seem to be outputting the correct value. LINK: https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1tdq6oeEFjgxJg6FXvSH2ZmkgRlHaFiD5aycjvezfNvc/edit?usp=sharing
If you look at Activity sheet, E2:E52, you should understand that it's outputting the wrong value(At least based on what I'm reading on the google docs).
I've tried converting this over to one sheet to see if that was the problem, however, it didn't work there either, I tried being more inclusive of the exact letter and number combination and that didn't help either.
I expect it to output the Attacks column for the username based on the Activity1 sheet.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
PS: I tagged excel as it does the same exact thing on excel, however it gives slightly different values. I'm very confused.
use VLOOKUP instead:
=ARRAYFORMULA(IFERROR(VLOOKUP(D2:D,
{Activity1!C:D; Activity2!C:D; Activity3!C:D}, 2, 0)))

I am currently working on a dataset that includes several columns, mostly the dates. What I am trying to achieve is - unpivot all the date columns to use for my subsequent calculations. I use the following formula to unpivot: =ARRAYFORMULA(SPLIT(FLATTEN(Data!A2:A&"|"&Data!D1:AG1&"|"&Data!D2:AG),"|"))
Even though this returns the expected result, when I try to nest this within a Query function, it does not work correctly. This is how I applied the formula - QUERY(ARRAYFORMULA(SPLIT(FLATTEN(Data!A2:A&"|"&Data!D1:AG1&"|"&Data!D2:AG),"|")),"Select * WHERE Col3 IS NOT NULL")
PS: When I change the data range to say, A2:A100, it gives me the correct result. However, it does not help since lot of new data would get added and I want the formula to be dynamic.
Here's the link to the sample sheet - https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1dgFY5mT9nUJtFefjAros-XpWXRMFtxEf8Fqrv82N5Ys/edit#gid=1813140523
Any help/suggestions would be highly appreciated
Not sure where you got your SPLIT(FLATTEN technique,
but you have to include both the 3rd and 4th parameters of the split function as FALSE or 0. so in your case it would be:
=ARRAYFORMULA(SPLIT(FLATTEN(Data!A2:A&"|"&Data!D1:AG1&"|"&Data!D2:AG),"|",0,0))
If you do that you'll find your query works.
Also note that the way you have it it's not really working. If you look all the way down in column 1 you'll find a bunch of dates formatted to look like integers.
I was playing around in a sheet when I stumbled upon (to me) unexpected behaviour. I isolated the behaviour an put it in a different sheet:

I have a bunch of codes to which I assigned times (Column A and B), this is the data source. Then I want to use this data to lookup the times based on a code. For this I use LOOKUP but it doesn't seem return the right value every time.
LOOKUP is meant for sorted data, use VLOOKUP or HLOOKUP instead.

I'm having some trouble getting these functions to work. I'm not even sure if they're the ones that I should be using, but here is the following information I can provide. I had previously opened a topic, but I was getting responses about my confusing query. So, hopefully this one is better explained.
I have data in the following fields: A1:N7, as well as A12:L18.
I need a function to check all of the fields and add up the amount of times certain numbers show up. The numbers that need to be checked are: <90, 90-99.99, 100-109.99, and =>100.
First off, I can use this formula to count the <90 and =>100 values in all the fields, which works.
=COUNTIFS(A1:N7,"<90")
However, I'm unsure how to appropriately add the results from A12:L18 into it. My attempts have failed. Likewise, for the ranged functions, I'm completely lost. I've tried something like this:
=COUNT(FILTER(A1:N7,A1:N7>=90,A1:N7<=99.99))
Yet, this always returns 0 as the result. In addition, like the above formula I don't know how I'd nest in a way to check the additional fields in A12:L18.
An old thread, but I came across it trying to solve a similar problem.
Using the original example:
=COUNT(FILTER(A1:N7,A1:N7>=90,A1:N7<=99.99))
I was also getting zero until I realised COUNT returns the number of NUMERIC values in the range. Assuming the result range isn't numeric, I tried:
=COUNTA(FILTER(A1:N7,A1:N7>=90,A1:N7<=99.99))
and got the result I was expecting.
You just need count rows your matrix with ROWS()
=ROWS(FILTER(...))
Does this formula work as you want:
={"<90",COUNTIF({A1:N7;A12:N18},"<90");"90-99.99",COUNTIFS({A1:N7;A12:N18},">=90",{A1:N7;A12:N18},"<100");"100-109.99",COUNTIFS({A1:N7;A12:N18},">=100",{A1:N7;A12:N18},"<110");"=>110",COUNTIF({A1:N7;A12:N18},">=110")}
I made an example sheet where you can see it working: https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1BPexh5syksapZ9rd_brAa3NkN28LXAvB6dVMLEkM2r0/edit#gid=0
Make Google Spreadsheet Formula Repeat Infinitely helped me to expand my formula indefinitely and other StackExchange results helped me get to here:
=ARRAYFORMULA(IF((AF2:AF="")," ","L"&ROW(F2:F)&":AD"&ROW(F2:F)))
However, when I tell "L"&ROW(F2:F)&":AD"&ROW(F2:F) to CONCATENATE, every row gives a results as if it was CONCATENATE(L2:AD2).
I tried =ARRAYFORMULA(IF((AF2:AF="")," ",CONCATENATE("L"&ROW(F2:F)&":AD"&ROW(F2:F)))) and =ARRAYFORMULA(IF((AF2:AF="")," ",CONCATENATE(INDIRECT("L"&ROW(F2:F)&":AD"&ROW(F2:F))))) but neither are working.
I am trying to get each row to CONCATENATE(L2:AD2) then CONCATENATE(L3:AD3) then L4:AD4 and so on.
Any help is most appreciated.
To make more easy to explain and understand by using an example, assume that the source values are in the range A2:C3
Instead of using
ARRAYFORMULA(CONCATENATE(A2:C3))
use
ARRAYFORMULA({A2:A3&B2:B3&C2:C3})
I'm trying to summarize data from several Google spreadsheet' sheets in a single one but I have some issues with SUMIF and FIND.
To Sum data from another sheet I have to use this (at least that's the only solution I've found)
=SUM(INDIRECT(""&A6&""&"!E2:E"))
Where I have the name of my sheet on A6.This makes everything easy because I have a column (A) with all the names of the sheets. I haven't found something like Sheets[1] in Google Docs.
My next step was to Sum Times from a specific column but remove a specific values, which in this case is 1 that get transformed internally 24:00:00 since it's a time column:
=SUM(INDIRECT(""&A6&""&"!D2:D")) - SUMIF(INDIRECT(""&A6&""&"!D2:D");"24:00:00")
Here I tried to do everything with a single SUMIF but I have no idea how. NOT("24:00:00") didn't work so I settled to this.
The last part is the most difficult and I'm not able to solve it.
I have a column with month names (for example) and I want to sum some data only when the month name contains "er". Here is what I thought:
=SUMIF(A6:A16,ISNUMBER(Find("er")),G6:G16)
This gives me always 0
(Note that the last one contains A6:A16 instead of the whole INDIRECT part because I am still testing it in a single sheet.)
Any Idea what I'm doing wrong?
I don't know why the above SUMIF doesn't work, what I've tested and works is:
=SUMIF(A6:A16,"*er*",G6:G16)
SUMIF is NOT SUM + IF as I thought. I hope it will help someone else.
