I'm posting information from a form to google sheets.
After the insert (which adds the last row), I want to do some apps script post processing. Before I do the post processing I want to fill in a couple of blank cells which are not submitted by the form, including the OFFEREXPIRATIONDATE column which should be set at :
=TODAY()+7
I've been reading https://www.benlcollins.com/formula-examples/array-formulas-forms/ , but I'm not sure if you can apply Arrayformulas to add new formulas into cells.
I tried putting the following in cell J2:
=ARRAYFORMULA({"TODAY + 7";J3:INDEX(J:J,IF(ISBLANK(I3),"",TODAY()+7))})
with the idea of checking if the row to the left is blank, and if not inserting the TODAY()+7 formula in, but this is giving a circular dependancy error.
How can I get this working?
Putting one of these two in J2 should do the trick:
Insert date in J unless I is empty:
=ARRAYFORMULA(to_date(if(I2:I="","",today()+7)))
Insert date in J unless I is #VALUE! or empty (in case you don't want to insert a date either when cells in I get an error):
=ARRAYFORMULA(to_date(IFERROR(if(I2:I="","",today()+7),"")))

I have a table with names on the left and corresponding work schedules to the right. I've created a separate table with some of those same names and want it to automatically fill in the corresponding work schedule for that person. Seemed simple but I'm very stuck. My level of experience with Google Sheets is what is stopping me from solving this.
Example Tables:
In the attached picture the table on the top is the original (hardcoded) data. The table on the bottom is where I want the schedule data to be automatically produced based on the name on the left. The fields with #N/A and #ERROR! are both failed formulas I tried. #N/A should have returned B7:G7. #ERROR! should have returned B4:G4.
I tried the 'LOOKUP' function with ARRAYFORMULA(INDEX) hoping to have it look up the value in the column and input the work schedule data that corresponds.
=LOOKUP("Clair",A1:A9,ARRAYFORMULA(INDEX(B1:G9)))
yielded an #N/A.
Started trying to use =If(REGEXMATCH(A13:A21,"Clair"),... ...) but the '... ...' shows where my intellectual limits are at the moment. I couldn't finish it because I think it's the wrong formula to use.
Something like this maybe?
Remove everthing in B13:G17, and put this formula in B13
=BYROW(A13:A17,LAMBDA(NAME,XLOOKUP(NAME,A1:A9,B1:G9,"NOT FOUND")))
BYROW() work with an array row by row, the given data A13:A17 has only 1 column, which is the name of staff as lookup value.

XLOOKUP() scan an array for a key value (lookup value), and return another array with corresponding row or col index.

try:
=INDEX(IFNA(VLOOKUP(A13:A17; A1:G10; SEQUENCE(1; 6; 2); )))
I'm compiling a list based on the first answers recieved between row N and AF.
I'm using these two formulas:
=INDEX(N2:O2,MATCH(FALSE,ISBLANK(N2:O2),0))
and
=INDEX(R2:AF2,MATCH(FALSE,ISBLANK(R2:AF2),0))
Is there a way to combine them whilst not searching in rows P & Q?
These are generated from a Form response so can't just be switched around.
try:
=INDEX({N2:O2, R2:AF2}, MATCH(FALSE, ISBLANK({N2:O2, R2:AF2}), 0))
If Sheet1 is an intake sheet of form results, you should not add any data, formulas or even formatting to that sheet. It virtually always causes issues. A form intake sheet should be left exactly as it is. A new sheet can then be used to bring over the results of the form intake sheet as you want to see them.
However, since you didn't specify any of that, I will supply a formula written to work in the same sheet as your posted example and in-sheet examples.
Clear an entire column and place the following in the top cell of that column:
=ArrayFormula({"Attendee Name"; IF(E2:E="",,IFERROR(REGEXEXTRACT(TRIM(TRANSPOSE(QUERY(TRANSPOSE(FILTER(IF(N2:AK="",,N2:AK&"~"),N1:AK1=N1)),,COLUMNS(N1:AK1)))),"\s*([^~]+)"),"(none listed)"))})
This one formula will produce a header (the text of which you can change within the formula itself as you lie) and all valid results for all rows.
The inner IF will append a tilde (~) to any non-null entries in the range N2:AK.
FILTER will keep only those columns in this range where the header is the same as the header in N1 (i.e., "Attendee Name").
TRANSPOSE(QUERY(TRANSPOSE( ),,COLUMNS( ))) is colloquially called a "Query smash." It will form one cell from all horizontal results per row.
TRIM will cut any preliminary spaces and form a true string.
REGEXEXTRACT will pull the from the first non-space character up to but not including the first tilde (from those appended in the first step)—in other words, the first full valid entry from any column.
IFERROR will return a message if there is an error, with the likely error being that there were no valid entries for "Attendee name" in any column.
The outer IF will leave the cell blank if the no training event exists in E2:E.
{ } forms a virtual array that places the header over all other results.
ArrayFormula( ) signifies that multiple results will be processed at once.
Because this is an array formula that is being "asked" to process every row, you cannot manually type into any cell of this results column. If you do, you will "break the array"; everything except what you just typed will disappear, leaving only an error in the formula cell. If you need to add or change a name, you need to do that in the raw results range (e.g., manually type a name or a new name in Col N), which will then turn up in the formula output range.
To give some detail, I am using Google Forms + Google Sheets to make an easy database that collects all the bank information I put in (Income, savings, expenses, etc.) and I can keep track of details with easy sorting.
I'm stuck on a formula that I can't seem to figure out. Before I go in to specific details of my code I will give a small explanation. The cell I am trying to populate [with the formula] is supposed to take 2 pieces of information from the form response sheet (I will refer to it as 'rawdata') and produce a value (number) from another cell in 'rawdata'.
So in 'rawdata' I have a column (B) that has a value of "Expense" or "Income" for a form response line. I have a column (D) in 'rawdata' that has the value of "Amount" for the number submitted.
Cells in reference in 'rawdata':
B9 = "Expense"
D9 = 67.37
Now, due to the original 'rawdata' being a form response sheet it inserts new rows every response, so my attempt at just calling direction to the cell fails upon a new response submission because it increments on its own. So that being a solution is out of the question.
So, for every other cell I am using to display values from 'rawdata' in an organized sheet I use =INDEX() to pull the value from that exact row and column, instead of the cell reference and it has worked so far.
=INDEX(rawdata!$B:$B,ROW(9:9)) displays "Expense" from 'rawdata' in B9 as a result. So the rest of the cells are formulated this way and I have had no issues.
When I got to the amount, I used an =IF() formula to pull the value from the D column and to display it either as a negative or positive depending on what column B states.
=IF(rawdata!B8="Expense", -rawdata!$D9, rawdata!$D9) displays -67.37 as a result.
But since I can't use this formula to fill empty cells for future use I have to find another way to do so. I figure;
=IF(=INDEX(rawdata!$B:$B,ROW(9:9)) = "Expense", =INDEX(-rawdata!$D:$D,ROW(9:9)), =INDEX(rawdata!$D:$D,ROW(9:9)))
is my solution to the problem, because to me it makes sense. But it fails and gives me a Parse Error.
So when I try to run the first =INDEX() with the values of 1 or 0 being the outcome of the =IF() it also fails, so I create a new column in the sorted table to pull the data of "Expense" or "Income" so I can reference that.
Cell in 'processeddata':
E9 = "Expense"
=IF(E9="Expense", 1, 0) displays 1 as its result, so I figure this is the solution to my problem.
=IF(E9="Expense", =INDEX(-rawdata!$D:$D,ROW(9:9)), =INDEX(rawdata!$D:$D,ROW(9:9)))
displays #ERROR with the description Parse Error.
=INDEX(-rawdata!$D:$D,ROW(9:9)) displays -67.37
=INDEX(rawdata!$D:$D,ROW(9:9)) displays 67.37
I'm at a loss for what to do now. I've exhausted myself with tons of searching on here and all over google, tried using things like INDEX and MATCH, VLOOKUP, etc but can't solve this to save my life. Does anyone here have a clue how I can solve this with a cell reference that won't increment when new rows are added in 'rawdata'?
PS. I've also attempted using =VALUE() to try and convert the =INDEX() to a number but no luck.
Your formula has superfluous equals signs (=). Try Insert > Column and this formula in row 8 of the new column:
=arrayformula( if(rawdata!B8:B = "Expense", -rawdata!D8:D, rawdata!D8:D) )
Your formula has some equal signs in it that are probably the issue.
Instead of this:
IF(=INDEX(rawdata!$B:$B,ROW(9:9)) = "Expense", =INDEX(-rawdata!$D:$D,ROW(9:9)), =INDEX(rawdata!$D:$D,ROW(9:9)))
try this:
IF(INDEX(rawdata!$B:$B,ROW(9:9)) = "Expense", INDEX(-rawdata!$D:$D,ROW(9:9)), INDEX(rawdata!$D:$D,ROW(9:9)))
Also, an array formula is a great tool for Form data calculations. In this file you can see a formula in Column F that does a calculation in each row of the responses sheet from this form, it will continue to update as new entries are made. Feel free to enter submit some form responses.
I have a spreadsheet where I have data from a bank account. Each bank transaction has a date and an indication if that transaction is already done or if it's just expected. When it's already done, it must be added to the total balance up to date. If not, then the total balance up to date must be blank. I need to autofilter the data, so I can filter and order it depending on date or other conditions, that's why I've been using this formula:
=IF(D3="Y";B3+INDIRECT(ADDRESS(ROW()-1;COLUMN()));"")
Problem here is that when the cell above is blank, total sum resets and it starts from the value of that transaction. I need a formula that ignores the upper blank cells, and sums all cells above that are not blank plus the amount of that transaction.
Besides, once I change the "N" in "Done" Column to a "Y" I need the formula to update and show the correct balance.
I share an example sheet for better understanding https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1_gk0YaziUhOZfRbrlfHizMrVu6OT7njIaTUyQaE6Lbs/edit?usp=sharing
Ok I THINK I understand what your going for - please let me know if I am confused, but I added an example on your sheet.... basically what I ended up doing was including one of your conditionals, but then also adding another function to exclude the blank rows by way of filter , index and counta It looks more complicated than it is because I nested it all back into one formula:
=IF(I3="Y";sum(G3;index(filter(indirect("F2:"&address(row()-1;column();4));ISNUMBER(indirect("F2:"&address(row()-1;column();4))));counta(filter(indirect("F2:"&address(row()-1;column();4));ISNUMBER(indirect("F2:"&address(row()-1;column();4)))))););)
To work it from the inside out - the way I am excluding the blank rows is by using FILTER to get all the rows from the first row with a value ( Like A2 in your example) and using INDIRECT and ADDRESS to end the array I want to include exactly one cell above the current cell.
Then I use the condition that the range I built has a number value in it, there fore excluding the blanks.
In order to get the last value available, I use COUNTA to find out the total rows in the filter, then wrap the formula with INDEX to use the counta value as the row to return (which automatically is the last row available above the current cell)
Try this in A3 and copy down:
=IF(D3="Y";B3+INDIRECT(ADDRESS(ROW()-1;COLUMN()));A2+0)
If you want to display the "N" rows as blank, add a column (B) fill in the header and the starting number (5000) then put this in B3:
=if(E3="N";"";A3)
Copy it down then hide column A.
I have a spread sheet which can be viewed at https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1bhIV1ULLXhjdSO_5Q5l5ZNe7Zaxrj15CYMW88FMFgRU/edit?usp=sharing
The way the spread sheet works is when a selection from the list is made the specific cells reference a data table and fills in the respective cells. This works perfectly in excel and I just use Iferror to hide the circular references. This is not the case in google sheets as the #REF! error still appears. How can I rectify so that they no longer appear? I have tried unique but it makes all the cells bank even when a different selection from the drop down box is made.
You can use the ISREF() function for this. Combine it with an IF() and you're good to go:
IF(ISREF('sheetname'!A4), 'sheetname'!A4, "")
The problem is that the formula itself is fine but (for column N) 'Attributes-InSeason-Trade_Mach'!$L121 and the following rows evaluate to "".
This means for INDEX in Google Spreadsheets that it will use all rows which in turn would overwrite the data in the next row because INDEX will be returning a range, not a single cell.
The Formula itself is evaluating fine, it does not cause an error which is why IFERROR does not trigger the alterantive "", the problem happens after the evaluation when it is trying to display the data.
You can just wrap the INDEX Call inside of an IF like this (This is an example for Column N)
=IFERROR(IF('Attributes-InSeason-Trade_Mach'!$L110 <> "",
INDEX('Attributes-InSeason-Trade_Mach'!$H$110:$I$214,
'Attributes-InSeason-Trade_Mach'!$L110,
COLUMNS(Trade_Machine!$P$4:P4)), ""), "")
