I'm trying to get a formula that pulls a value from a sheet based on a date to find all occurrences and join them together.
My original question is here for context.
This works really well, but if a user submits a new order at a later date for a date that already has a submission, I get the first and not any additional.
Here's my current code, which also checks for comma and space, and adds a carriage return.
=regexreplace(IFERROR(VLOOKUP(B1, IMPORTRANGE("source", "B2:C"), 2, 0)), ", ", char(10))
How can I combine multiple cell values based on criteria?
=ARRAYFORMULA(TEXTJOIN(CHAR(10),1,
REGEXREPLACE(IFERROR(QUERY(IMPORTRANGE(
"1JCOLm7ZQgR0qgtzq_98E4vDie7-FM-WlwiSZwgpB22k", "B2:C"),
"select Col2 where Col1=date'"&TEXT(B1,"yyyy-mm-dd")&"'")),
", ", CHAR(10))))

Stacking Multiple Arrays In Query/Lambda Function

Closed 3 months ago.
First of all this is my first question here...
Ok, and now my problem:
I created a formula that generates a dynamic Query if you are searching for data in multiple sheets. I just write the names of the sheets in green field and it changes the Query.
The text for the Query is correct, but now I want this to by the actual formula in a cell to display the data.
If I use the = and add the cell with the Query text, it copy the text. I tried the INDIRECT formula, but it does the same.
How can I use a this dynamic text to be my Query to dispaly the data depending on the amount of names in the green field?
EDIT: As advised by user doubleunary (as mentioned, this is my first time), I'm going to rephrase the problem.
In an spreadsheet a manager imputs for every task the amount a worker has made. He creates an new sheet for each date and imputs the data for that day. Each day can have different rows of data. The boss wants a spreadsheet that display in one sheet all that has been done in the current month. I used Query because you can easy join data from multiple sheets and ignor the empty rows.
But the problem is, that every day a new sheet is added with a new "name" (date). And the easyest way I found tho make a dynamic Query, without the Boss to manualy edit the Query, was to create a text with TEXTJOIN formula, in witch he ony needs to enter the new "name" (date).
If there is a better was, please share, but it should not be in App Script if possible.
Thank you.
Easily you can't transform a text into a formula.
In this case, you should create the query formula and insert the ranges with Indirect function, like this:
=Query({Importrange(LINK,Indirect("'"&O4&"'!I38:S107"));Importrange(LINK,Indirect("'"&O5&"'!I38:S107"))},"Select * Where Col1 is not null",0)
If the formula you quote and the data sheets are all in the same spreadsheet file, you should not to use importrange() but indirect(), like this:
=query(
{
indirect(O4 & "!I38:S107");
indirect(O5 & "!I38:S107")
},
"where Col1 is not null",
0
)
In the event the row references such as I38:S107 change from time to time as well, you can put those references in a cell and refer to them the same way.
try (assuming url is same for all sheets):
=QUERY(LAMBDA(x, QUERY(REDUCE(SEQUENCE(1, 11), x,
LAMBDA(a, c, {a; IMPORTRANGE("url", c"!I38:S107")})),
"where Col1 is not null", 1))
(O4:INDEX(O:O, MAX((O:O<>"")*ROW(O:O)))), "offset 1", )

so basically I have a searchbox in my sheet that searches and pulls up data. For a reference see this image: https://i.imgur.com/MVTUCSw.png. So basically in cell A4 I put the data that I am looking for, but my formula restricts me to only looking up stuff in 1 row. For example, data starting with the word MELD, but I would like to be able to also look up data based on for example the someone their name.
The formula I use for the searchbox: =QUERY({'Pallets & Locaties'!A2:G;Voorraadverschillen!A2:G}, "SELECT * WHERE Col1 "&Opzoeken!B4&" '"&A4&"'")
The data that I want to be able to look up is stored in 2 sheets: Pallets & Locaties - https://i.imgur.com/qV7h2tz.png and in Voorraadverschillen - https://i.imgur.com/foqLkKa.png.
The searchbox is only able to lookup data in row, but I just want to be able to search for any kind of stored data in any of the sheets.
Here is my sheet for reference: https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/10wmnxV16JUiD_b_54abkiLPwTqLITWRcUw3gsqvXoBE/edit?usp=sharing
I'd recommend you add more rows for the lookup criteria and add a column for what column it would search for.
Sheet modification:
Formula:
=QUERY({'Pallets & Locaties'!A2:G;Voorraadverschillen!A2:G}, "SELECT * WHERE "&TEXTJOIN(" AND ", TRUE, ARRAYFORMULA(IF(ISBLANK(A4:A10), "", A4:A10&" "&B4:B10&" '"&C4:C10&"'"))))
Test Sheet
Note:
The above formula will allow you to search on other columns with their own words and criteria to search.
Only rows with Kolom values will be included in the criteria. If you only need Col1 criteria, make sure to leave other rows blank.
This does use an AND search, meaning all of the criteria should be true and match the row. Feel free to use OR in the TEXTJOIN function if you only want to search all rows matching any of the criteria.
This will only search on sheets Pallets & Locaties and Voorraadverschillen. Add the necessary sheets if you need them.
EDIT:
Cleaned up the formula to not be so repetitive.
=IF(A4<>"",(QUERY({'Pallets & Locaties'!A2:G;Voorraadverschillen!A2:G},"Select * WHERE "&textjoin(" OR ", true, arrayformula("Col"&ROW(1:7)&" "&B4&" '"&A4&"'")))),(QUERY({'Pallets & Locaties'!A2:G;Voorraadverschillen!A2:G},"Select * WHERE Col1 IS NOT NULL")))
This searches every column for the data, as long as data is not identical in two columns you won't have issues. An example would be the search criteria "MELD" being in both Column A and B. If that were the case, only the results from the first matching column would populate.
We have hit the dreaded 5 million rows limit which is so small for any semi-serious data.
We have an important ArrayFormula piece in one of our worksheets (tab) currently that summarizes the data from another worksheet in the same file where time series data is kept with dates. This is our current function:
=ArrayFormula(SUMIFS(DataSheet!$B:$B,
MONTH(DataSheet!$A:$A), 1,
YEAR(DataSheet!$A:$A), 2020)
)
Explanation: This basically summed all of column B in the DataSheet tab for the month of Jan 2020 based on date found in column A of that sheet.
However, this worksheet of data that is now running close to that row limit. We can move it to another Google Sheets file, and refer to the same data via IMPORTRANGE.
The question then is how to refer to that data instead of the DataSheet!$A:$A in the above old formula? Will this reference be replaced by the entire IMPORTRANGE function?
Old:
=ArrayFormula(SUMIFS(DataSheet!$B:$B,
MONTH(DataSheet!$A:$A), 1,
YEAR(DataSheet!$A:$A), 2020)
)
New:
=ArrayFormula(SUMIFS(IMPORTRANGE(filename, rows)!$B:$B,
MONTH(IMPORTRANGE(filename, rows)!$A:$A, 1,
YEAR(IMPORTRANGE(filename, rows)!$A:$A, 2020)
)
This does not work of course, because we cannot have the exclamation ! followed by the column in an importrange. Any other thoughts?
Try this in cell A1 on a fresh, brand new tab somewhere:
=ARRAYFORMULA(QUERY(1*TEXT(IMPORTRANGE("[spreadsheet key]","Sheet1!A:B"),{"mmmyyyy","0.00"}),"select Col1,SUM(Col2) where Col2<>0 group by Col1 order by Col1")
The "spreadsheet key" is the combination of letters and numbers after the "/d/" and before the "/edit..." in the URL of your source sheet.
Obviously, you'd also replace "Sheet1!A:B" with whatever the real tab/column reference is.
Then, select all of Column A and from the Menu choose Format>Number>More Formats>Custom Number Formatting, Then this in the dialog box:
mmmm yyyy
You want to IMPORTRANGE from two different sheets in a different spreadsheet.
While the following formula will import data from both sheets, it will also import the blank rows, so you might have to scroll down hundreds of rows in order to see the data from the second sheet (and this might give your the wrong impression that the second sheet is not getting imported):
{
IMPORTRANGE("SPREADSHEET_ID","CurrentMonth!$A:$J");
IMPORTRANGE("SPREADSHEET_ID","All2020!$A:$J")
}
You can use QUERY in order to filter out blank rows:
=QUERY(
{
IMPORTRANGE("SPREADSHEET_ID","CurrentMonth!$A:$J");
IMPORTRANGE("SPREADSHEET_ID","All2020!$A:$J")
},
"SELECT * WHERE Col1 IS NOT NULL ORDER BY Col1 DESC"
)
Note:
I thought you'd like to sort the data according to the date in column A, please remove ORDER BY Col1 DESC if that's not the case.
I am having problems in getting the values. I need to get the values of July 10, 2020 to July 25, 2020 under column TL "June Troy". I have tried to do query with importrange and filter with importrange. But I cannot get it right. Please help.
If I understand your question, the following query should work for you:
=QUERY(ARRAYFORMULA(TO_TEXT({importrange("https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1CQkhI5dZoIUfoKF1aQ8lm1Y8rmOOZapaoYBJw8BJTSE/edit?usp=sharing","Attendance!A1:BC99")})),
"select Col7,Col8,Col9,Col10,Col11,Col12,Col13,Col14,Col15,Col16,Col17,Col18,Col19,Col20,Col21,Col22,Col23,Col24,Col25 where Col7 = 'June Troy' ",1)
Note that since your test data has June Troy on every row, this ends up selecting every row.
More importantly, your "value" columns have mixed data types, both numeric and string values, and QUERY ignores the minority data types and returns blanks for those values. So I included the TO_TEXT function to convert individual cells to text before passing them to the QUERY. And to make the TO_TEXT act on every cell in the range, it is wrapped in an ARRAYFORMULA.
Let us know if this works for you.
UPDATED: To correct formula. Sorry about that.
This is an answer to your second question, which should perhaps be a separate from the first part, since it is a different issue. But yes, you should be able to connect two IMPORTRANGE queries. Consider this formula:
={
QUERY(ARRAYFORMULA(TO_TEXT({importrange("https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1CQkhI5dZoIUfoKF1aQ8lm1Y8rmOOZapaoYBJw8BJTSE/edit?usp=sharing","Attendance!A1:BC99")})),
"select Col7,Col8,Col9,Col10,Col11,Col12,Col13,Col14,Col15
where Col7 = 'June Troy' ",1),
QUERY(ARRAYFORMULA(TO_TEXT({importrange("https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1CQkhI5dZoIUfoKF1aQ8lm1Y8rmOOZapaoYBJw8BJTSE/edit?usp=sharing","Attendance!A1:BC99")})),
"select Col16,Col17,Col18,Col19,Col20,Col21,Col22,Col23,Col24,Col25
where Col7 = 'June Troy' ",1)
}
Basically, you would have two very similar queries. In my example, I point them both at the same sheet, but you can point to a different link, for one of the queries.
They are wrapped in braces, "{...}", to form a new array. And most importantly, the first query has a comma, ",", after it, to force the result of the second query to be in adjacent columns, on the same rows. If you separate the two queries with a semi-colon, ";", the result of the second query would be added as rows underneath the first query, not in columns beside it.
HOWEVER, I think this causes an error if the two queries don't both return the same number of rows. So that will depend on your data. But since you are getting related columns, I'm assuming they should return the same number of rows. If not, share the data from your two sample sheets, and what the desired outcome should look like.
So what I want to do is remove the first word of every name in these columns. Example: "CMSgt Cin" needs to say "Cin" on my datasheet1. I have attempted to do that but am I getting errors.
After I have converted the names, I want the cells that do not apply to the conversion to remain blank on my datasheet1. So basically if the filter is looking for a name such as "CMSgt Cin" but only finds "--" in that cell, I want the filter just make the cell blank on my datasheet1.
My main goal is to see if the names on my reference sheet are also on another sheet which they should be on. So I am filtering and comparing two lists of data, and I want to make it so if they are on my reference sheet but notice sheet I'm comparing it to, their name should appear red. I am willing to talk on discord if this is too confusing to understand
so what I want to do is remove the first word of every name in these columns
=INDEX(SPLIT(A1, " ", 0, 1), 1, 2)
I want the cells that do not apply to the conversion to remain blank on my datasheet1
=IF(ISNUMBER(SEARCH(" ", A1)), INDEX(SPLIT(A1, " ", 0, 1), 1, 2), )
goal is to see if the names on my reference sheet are also on another sheet which they should be on
=ARRAYFORMULA(VLOOKUP(A1:A, 'another sheet'!A1:A, 1, 0))
if they are on my reference sheet but notice sheet I'm comparing it to, their name should appear red
=COUNTIFS($A:$A, $A1, INDIRECT("'another sheet'!$A:$A"), INDIRECT("'another sheet'!$A1"))>1
show all the people who are on my reference sheet but not my data sheet
=QUERY(FILTER({E:E;F:F;G:G;H:H;I:I;J:J},
ISNA(MATCH({E:E;F:F;G:G;H:H;I:I;J:J}, Sheet3!A:A, 0))),
"select Col1 where Col1 is not null and Col1 <>'720th STG Flights'")
