I need to make a list of which student is taking what kind of exam on which date and time.
The sheet with all the data looks like this:
This is per student but not per date.
I would like to have a tab per exam AND time. So exam Dutch is taken at 06-06-2019 at 10:00h, 12:00h and 14:00h. Tabs should be like: tab1 all students that take exam Dutch at 06-06-2019 10h, tab2 all students that take exam Dutch at 06-06-2019 12h, etc.
The order of columns can't change because the sheet as in the example is also generated with formulas etc. from other sheets.
I tried the VLOOKUP formula but this can't search on the left. I have absolutely no idea how to solve this.
I'm not looking for a ready to use answer. Just push me in the right direction.
You could use filter() or query().
Assuming 'achternaam' in column A and 'exam Dutch' is in column E, you can try
=query('SheetwithData'!A:E, "Select A where E contains '06-06-2019 10:00'", 1)
Replace the sheet name with the actual sheet name.

There are many similar questions on here but I can not find the answer I am after.
I am working in Google Sheets and need to write a conditional formatting equation that will highlight the B:C columns if they match an entry on the second sheet in the B:C columns. I do not know any search criteria past that which is where I keep running into an error. All the other questions here know what they are searching for. My work is fluid and new entries come in that may match an old one and I need to know that!
I use this formula on the first sheet to match entries specifically on the first sheet,
=COUNTIF(ARRAYFORMULA($B$3:$B$389&$C$3:$C$389),$B2&$C2)>1
This formula works great. If Lexington, SC is in row 2 and Lexington, SC is added again later in row 100, BAM they both light up red. Love that. The second equation I need is not so simple.
my data is:
SHEET 1 - Column B and Column C
County
State
Lexington
SC
Douglas
KS
Chase
KS
Clay
OH
Greenwood
NY
SHEET 2 - Column B and Column C
County
State
Saratoga
NY
Douglas
KS
Chase
KS
Clay
OH
Greenwood
SC
In this example above, I need the new formula to highlight Douglas KS, Chase KS, Clay OH on sheet one, because these three counties exists on Sheet Two.
I have tried MATCH, INDEX, VLOOKUP, etc. I keep running into an issue when I want TWO columns to be compared to TWO columns. It needs to be county name AND state.
Thank you to the community for any help you can give. I will provide more information if it is needed! I think this sums up my issue though.
QUERY ATTEMPTS
=COUNTIF(ARRAYFORMULA($B$2:$B$20&$C$2:$C$20),$B2&$C2)>1
=COUNTIF(ARRAYFORMULA('Sheet 2'!$B$2:$B$20&$C$2:$C$20),$B2&$C2)>1
=COUNTIF(ARRAYFORMULA(indirect("Sheet1!$B$2:$B$C$2:$C"),indirect("Sheet2!$B2:$B&$C2:$C")))>1

=ARRAYFORMULA(INDEX(B2:B19, MATCH(1, FIND(E2, C2:C19)), 0))
=ARRAYFORMULA(INDEX(B2:C,MATCH(indirect("Sheet 2!$B2:$C"),0)))
=MATCH($B2&$C2,indirect('Sheet 2'!$B2:$B&'Sheet 2'!$C2:$C"),0)
=MATCH($B2,indirect("Sheet 2!$B2:$C"),0)
=MATCH("Sheet 1!$B2&$C2",indirect("Sheet 2!$B2:$C"),0)
=MATCH("Sheet 1!$B:$C"),indirect("Sheet 2!$B:$C"),0)
=MATCH((B2&C2),indirect("Sheet 2!(B2&C2)"),0)
=INDEX($B2:$C2,MATCH($B2&$C2,indirect("Sheet 2!$B2:$C"),0)
=INDEX(B:C,MATCH($B2&$C2,indirect("Sheet 2!$B2:$C"),0)
=INDEX(B2:C710,MATCH(0,(B:C="Sheet 2!$B:$C"),0))
The only query I have gotten to work only works on the B column
=match($B2,indirect("Ready to Start!$B2:$B"),0)
in conditional formatting (and data validation) whenever you want to refer to another sheet, that sheet's range needs to be INDIRECTed. if you got a joint range (like you do) both of them need to be wrapped in INDIRECT
try:
=COUNTIF(ARRAYFORMULA($B$3:$B$389&$C$3:$C$389),
INDIRECT("Sheet 2!B2")&INDIRECT("Sheet 2!C2"))>1
or:
=COUNTIF(ARRAYFORMULA(INDIRECT("Sheet 2!B3:B389")&INDIRECT("Sheet 2!C3:C389")),
$B2&$C2)>1
but note that this will work only if let's say B4&C4 on BOTH sheets are the same.
if one sheet compared to other has different sorting of the same values you will need a completely different formula...
if your sheets are named exactly:
Sheet 1
Sheet 2
try this in Sheet 1:
=($A2<>"")*REGEXMATCH($A2&$B2, TEXTJOIN("|", 1,
INDIRECT("Sheet 2!A2:A")&INDIRECT("Sheet 2!B2:B")))
Hello stack overflowers.
I have recently been creating a nutrition tracker to better track and control my nutrition. However I have run into an issue. So currently I have a 1 sheet in the nutrition tracker which is a "database" of foods and their macro nutrients per gram. In this sheet, I will enter all the foods that I generally eat and their associated per G nutrients.
this food "database" sheet has the following columns.
FOOD NAME, CALORIES, PROTEIN, CARBS, OF WHICH SUGARS, FAT, OF WHICH SATURATED, FIBER, SALT
This database is then used as a reference, so that when I input each meal as I eat it, I can simply select the food from a drop down list and type the number of G in that meal, and the nutrients will all be calculated for me.
I currently have it setup so that I can select food from the drop down list generated by "foods" sheet, within each meal table I have created. This is then correctly filling in the rest of the columns as expected once I input a weight for each meal. There is however a huge problem.
As soon as the FOOD NAME column of the Foods sheet had values in it below row 7 (not sure why this row is the limit) the whole thing stops working, the data grabs based on VLOOKUP just return 0 and do not act as they are meant to. The strange thing is they work absolutely fine until I enter too many foods (7 foods) into the foods sheet.
Please find below a link to my spreadsheet, maybe you can duplicate it and play around a little yourselves to better understand the issue.

(if you help me fix it, you will have a free nutrition tracking spreadsheet to help you take control of your diet aswell)
Thanks in advance.
In the June tab, clear all formulas in the range D11:K18.
Then enter in D11
=ArrayFormula(IF(LEN(B11:B18), IFERROR(VLOOKUP(B11:B18, FOODS!A:I, {2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7}, 0)),))
This single formula will process all values entered in B11:B18.
Note the third parameter of VLOOKUP (set to false). If it is ommitted (as in your formula) it will default to 'true'. That means vlookup expects a 'sorted order' which may not be the case for your data.

=INDEX(IF(B11:B18="";; IFNA(VLOOKUP(B11:B18; FOODS!A:I; COLUMN(B:G); ))))
I have table that looks like this:
Name Item1 Date Item 2 Date
John Orange 2/8/2020 Apple 8/8/2020
Bob Banana 6/8/2020
I'm trying to find a way to query that table so that it returns me every item the person has and on what date they got it. Some of the problems I have is that there may be more items added over time so columns would expand.
I have looked into queries but it always forces me to select a column, not a row number. I'm really not sure how to pull this off. I also looked into HLookup but the date field really messes with it.
I am open to changing the structure of the data in the spreadsheet if there is a way to allow to accomplish what I need.
try:
=ARRAYFORMULA(IFNA(VLOOKUP(B13, A1:10, COLUMN(B1:1), 0)))
if you want it in a more readable format:
={ARRAY_CONSTRAIN(
FLATTEN(FILTER(IFNA(VLOOKUP(B13, A1:10, COLUMN(B1:1), 0)),
MOD(COLUMN(B1:1), 2)=0)), (COLUMNS(B1:1)-1)/2, 1),
FLATTEN(FILTER(IFNA(VLOOKUP(B13, A1:10, COLUMN(C1:1), 0)),
MOD(COLUMN(C1:1)-1, 2)=0))}
I would like to access data from one Google Spreadsheet on another using strictly formulas.
Currently, I am able to import data using the =IMPORTRANGE(), but need to take this a couple steps further.
The data that I have looks like this:
Spreadsheet 1: Each sheet is for a different day, and has people and the number of fruits they pick from a farm (this is example data). However, the people are not necessarily organized exactly the same way on each day.
Spreadsheet 2: Each sheet is organized by person. Row A has the day (which will be used to lookup from the other spreadsheet), and a function exists in the second spreadsheet to find the persons name (=sheetName()).
What I have so far is [for Spreadsheet 2]:
=IMPORTRANGE(Master!A1, A2 & "!B2")
Where Master!A1 refers to the link of the other spreadsheet, A2 refers to the Day1. However, the part I am looking to replace is the 2 in the B2 to find the row of the person's name in the sheet Day1 from the first spreadsheet.
I feel like I have to do something like this:
=IMPORTRANGE(Master!A1, A2 & "!B" & MATCH(IMPORTRANGE(Master!A1,A2 & "!B1:B100"),sheetName(),0))
, but this gives me the error that it "Did not find value 'Apples' in match evaluation"
Here is the example folder with the two spreadsheets.

All help is appreciated!
I can't find the sample data that you attached but here's what you need to do.
1. Link of the other spreadsheet
2. Name of the sheet to import from
3. =importrange(link,sheet!A:D) [for the sake of an example]
4. =query(importrange(link, sheet!A:D),"select * where Col1 = 'Person's_Name' ",1)
Share a sheet if you are not able to put it together on your data. Cheers!!
I have a google docs sheet that has 5 sheets. The first has all of the data and the other 4 are specific only to a particular name. The header fields are name, fruit, entree, salad dressing, dessert, and day. One of the names on the sheet is Jeremy. He has 7 different records, obviously and so do the other 3 people on the sheet. What I want to be able to do is look on Jeremy's sheet and and pull the dessert (Sheet 1 Column E) for a specific day (let's say Monday currently). I'll have 7 rows, so the value needs to change, but I want to look on the Overview Sheet and find the 1 dessert that has Jeremy listed for that specific day.
For each sheet you can add a filter function starting in row two such as :
=filter(Overview!A:F,Overview!A:A="Jeremy")
you can add multiple filter flags however you like for your conditions:
=filter(Overview!A:F,Overview!A:A="Jeremy",Overview!F:F="Wednesday")
or
=filter(Overview!E:E,Overview!A:A="Jeremy",Overview!F:F="Wednesday")
or you can pull in his name and the specified columns and split:
=split(filter(Overview!A:A&","&Overview!E:E,Overview!A:A="Jeremy",Overview!F:F="Wednesday"),",")
