I'm trying to replace student email addresses with their plain text names. I have compiled all of the active student names and emails in another tab.
How would I go about searching 'SHEET2:A' (the entries) and adding to a new column everywhere it matches 'SHEET1:E' (email reference sheet) their name 'SHEET1:D' (name+ID)
Example Sheet https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1AGqBXCxWwWR2DnsagaxZJXeNg_KsJ7B26_MWyedqg84/edit?usp=sharing
If it would make it easier, I could move the reference section to SHEET2 in another column or way down in the rows. The entries will be random and will consist of multiple duplicates.
VLOOKUP is your friend:
=ARRAYFORMULA(IFERROR(VLOOKUP(A2:A, {Sheet1!E:E,Sheet1!D:D}, 2, 0)))
or if you want to put it in B1 cell:
={"First Last - ID"; ARRAYFORMULA(IFERROR(VLOOKUP(A2:A, {Sheet1!E:E,Sheet1!D:D}, 2, 0)))}
=ARRAYFORMULA(IFERROR(VLOOKUP(A2:A, {Sheet1!E:E,Sheet1!D:D}, 2, 0)))

for my use case, I have a Google survey that is connected to a main Google Sheet.
The survey has a 2 questions: 1. Name, 2. Multiple Choice from 1-31 (days of a month).
My survey results come into a by Google survey/Forms automatically generated table in Google Sheets with 2 columns: 'Name', and 'Which days?'. The 'Which Days?' column is has cells with a concatenated list of strings (e.g. '1, 3, 6, 8, 11').
The main Google Sheet has following structure: The first column is 'Name' that just imports the name from the Typeform Sheet (this works fine).
The remaining columns represent the days of the month (so up to 31 columns from 1-31).
Under each column, there are checkboxes.
The idea is that the checkboxes will automatically check according to the results from the Typeform (instead of checkboxes, we could also use colored cells if that is easier).
The problem:
How can I automatically get the data from the concatenated cell 'Which Days?' (e.g. '1, 3, 6, 8, 11') to the main Google Sheet (so that columns '1', '3', ..., '11' are checked/colored)?
Thank you!
You can use this formula on cell B2 of your main sheet (assume Sheet1 is your survey sheet and Sheet2 is your main sheet):
=IF(iferror(match(CELL("address",B2),ARRAYFORMULA(ADDRESS(ROW(B2),1+split(Sheet1!$B2,","))),0),0),TRUE,FALSE)
Then drag right and down to the end of the table.
Sample:
Explanation:
SPLIT creates an array of numbers based on your input delimited by commas.
ADDRESS creates a string of cell references. ARRAYFORMULA extends this to an array.
MATCH returns a valid value if the CELL reference of the cell position exists on the other table, else it will return error.
IF and IFERROR will return true or false depending on the value of MATCH.
use:
=ARRAYFORMULA(REGEXMATCH(COLUMN(B:K)-1&"",
"^"&SUBSTITUTE(SUBSTITUTE(IFNA(VLOOKUP(A10:A12, A1:B3, 2, 0)), " ", ), ",", "$|^")&"$"))
I have a sheet with the following columns:
Column 1: contains text of the form "TS001", "TS002", "DR001", "MS002" etc.
The 2 letter in the beginning are a code for the manufacturer name, so for example "MS=Microsoft".
For the second column, I would like to have a formula that goes through the first column and searches for those letters, in order to then return the complete name of the manufacturer.
For example, it should look something like this:
Column 1
Column 2
MS001
Microsoft
TS002
Tesco
DR001
DR. Pepper
TS003
Tesco
Is something like that possible?
Thank you very much!
When you say "MS=Microsoft" it implies somewhere you have a table with that reference. For the purposes of the following example I created a sheet named ReferenceTable where column A contains the two letter code, and column B contains the name of the company. So it looks like this:
A
B
MS
Microsoft
TS
Tesco
And now in the main sheet in column B you would write the following formula:
=ARRAYFORMULA(VLOOKUP(MID(A1:A,1,2),ReferenceTable!A1:B,2,FALSE))
This will give you the name of the company, looked up from the reference table.
The array formula is there so that you only have to put this formula in cell B1, and assumes you will use the ReferenceTable sheet as a list; that way as you add records to Column A Column B is populated by the arrayformula in B1.
I'd simply use a Reference Table and a VLOOKUP formula
If cell B7 contains "MS0001"
the following formula will attempt to match just the first two letters again a reference table located in cells O7:P9
=VLOOKUP(MID(B7,1,2),O7:P9,2,FALSE)
and will return "Microsoft" when it finds "MS"
In order to achieve what you want, somewhere you need to have a list of the two letter codes and the corresponding company name.
As with all vba, there’s any number of ways to do this, but I would probably put the two letter code and company data into an array, then iterate through col1 to create the desired output for col2.
E.g below assumes the two letter code and company names are in col3 and col4 respectively, but you can change it to wherever they’re located.
Sub CompName()
Dim Cmpname () as string
Dim col1 as range, rng as range
Cmpname = range(range(“C1”), range(“D1048576”).end(xlup))
Set col1 = range(range(“A1”), range(“A1048576”).end(xlup))
For each rng in col1
For i = lbound(Cmpname, 1) to ubound(Cmpname, 1)
If left(rng, 2) = Cmpname(i, lbound(Cmpname, 2)) then
rng.offset(0,1) = Cmpname(i, ubound(Cmpname, 2))
Exit For
End if
Next
Next
End Sub
I’ve admittedly just written this on my phone and have not tested it, but hopefully there’s minimal mistakes.
I just reread your question and realized that you may actually want a formula rather than vba code.
If this is correct, using an INDEX MATCH is probably your best bet.
In this example I’ll assume the same setup as described above - col3 has company codes and col4 has company name - and this formula can be inserted into cell B1:
=index(D:D,match(left(A1,2),C:C,0))
You can then just filldown for the rest of the entries in col2.
Again, done from memory without testing so hopefully got it right.
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)))}
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)))
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
