Been on this for days, looked everywhere to no avail.
I have a group name in column C, separated with "/". In M3 I have a split formula, which will split the group in C into individual name and add a prefix to each. Works great. However, there are other data in between the names that's going to be pasted / entered. Therefore, I need the result to be shown in each 4 columns (yellow one), not next to each other like the current formula.
How to split C3 so that the result will be shown in each 4 columns ?
Note : column C can have 20 names at most.
Edit : Please spare the grammar of the sheet. I'm merely converting the data from my language into English while keeping the formula / cell intact, so it will look sluggish.

here i have a sheet, in that we can find the sum of diff categories using query function by selecting from drop down list. but here I can select one month only at a time can i find the amount of January and February at the same time by adding another column for another month or in any other way. here I can find the sales of one month at a time. I want to find sales of two or three months at time.
Please help

There's no way you can make a drop down list with multiple choice in Google Sheets.
But there are some alternatives.
List of tick boxes (here as list of months)
Manual input of multiple values separated by comma or something else.
I give both:
Months are selected as list separated by | so it can be used as regex inside 'matches' clause in query
This generates list of months:
=join("|",query({A2:B7;C2:D7},"select Col2 where Col1 = true "))
Window with manual input works similar way
=substitute(substitute(F3,", ",","),",","|")
It takes its contents, removes spaces that are adjacent to comma, adds separator | instead of comma. It's case sensitive and I don't know how to get rid of this (?i) does not work within query.
All together it looks like on the picture and combined formula is:
=query(ORDERS!A1:R14,"select A, B, C , D where
A matches '"&join("|",query({A2:B7;C2:D7},"select Col2 where Col1 = true "))&"' and
B matches '"&substitute(substitute(F3,", ",","),",","|")&"'",0)
Here is my solution:
https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1fQ5_VdxZ-t4MqPbLqzb8q-saqp5Jqz3hVXeWHX_Lls4/copy
I copied your spreadsheet to do my testing. Here's what you can do.
Add another row of the same exact selection found on your "A" row.
Change your formula to this: ={query(ORDERS!A1:R,"Select * where A contains '"&$A2&"' and B contains '"&$B2&"'",1);query(ORDERS!A1:R,"Select * where A contains '"&$A3&"' and B contains '"&$B3&"'",0)}
What this does it run an array of two sets of formulas (In this case 2 queries) for the same set of data.
Here's the screenshot of the output if you're interested.

I have a spreadsheet with a list of full names on column A and what I want to do is to split the first name of each person on column B and the remaining names (no matter how many there are) on column C. Any ideas?
I have a sample sheet if that helps:
https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1BJ7wdxYysklusPhWs85v3sUDrj4h68Z3h_16uoaWxj8/edit#gid=0
#Tulio, I've duplicated your first sheet, renamed it "Erik Help," and placed the following formula in B1:
=ArrayFormula({"First","The Rest";IF(A2:A="",,REGEXEXTRACT(A2:A,"^([a-zA-Z-]+) (.+)$"))})
As you can see, the column headers are created first, side by side. Then below that (signified by the semicolon), the REGEXEXTRACT pulls two parts from each non-null cell in A2:A — all letters from the start of the string up to the first space (which should be the first name), and then everything after that first space.
The other solution is more elegant/practical.
However, if you want to avoid regular expressions but consider a 2 simple formula solution, then use:
B2: =index(SPLIT(A2," ",true),1)
C2: =SUBSTITUTE(A2,concat(B2," "),"")
and drag them both down.
Output:
As you can see I transpose codes into unique column headings so that debits and credits are analysed and summated. Summations are transposed in another sheet to create summary profit/loss account. I need help how to replicate the sum formula in column I to serve any expanded transposed unique codes and whether/how I should use arrayformula for the individual cell output.
EDIT
Actual output looks like this:
My problem is to how to automatically accommodate new entries/codes in the totals row and main body of cells. The data belongs to a residents' committee so I can only show anonymous data as image.
EDIT 2
Actual input is imported from bank records, then coded:
Query is pretty good for the SUM part.
Starting in column I, you can do:
=ArrayFormula(INDEX(QUERY(
0+OFFSET(I4,0,0,ROWS(F6:F),COUNTA(UNIQUE(F4:F))),
"select "&
JOIN(
",",
"sum(Col"&SEQUENCE(COUNTA(UNIQUE(F4:F)))&")"
)
),2))
The 0+ or the VALUE in the second one (they both do the same thing here) transforms the data cells to default to 0 if blank, otherwise the query fails. This also lets us refer to the columns by sequence number, which is what we do in the second argument. We build the query into something that looks like select sum(Col1),sum(Col2),...,sum(ColN). Since this gives us a header by default, we could relabel everything in the query statement, but that gives too much extra code, so the easier thing to do is use INDEX to select the sums.
The EQ part is fairly straightforward to Arrayify. Starting in I4:
=ArrayFormula(
(FILTER(F4:F,F4:F<>"")=FILTER(I2:2,I2:2<>""))*
IF(
Array_constrain(G4:G,COUNTA(FILTER(F4:F,F4:F<>"")),1),
G4:G,
-H4:H
)
)
The FILTERs just filter out the blank cells, and the Array_Constrain sizes the G column to the same size as the filtered F column.
I am looking to take several columns in Google Sheets and combine them into one with the column header in an adjacent cell.
I would like to go from something like this:
to something like this:
I am currently achieving this by arraying the first column over and over for the number of columns. I am then arraying each column on on top of another so something like this:
Column 1 Column 2
={A1:A4;A1:A4;A1:A4} ={B1:B4;C1:C4;D1:D4}
In a third column I am using an if-then statements to get the Column name wherever the name column = "Name"
My issue is when I am trying to do this with several columns is becomes very tedious to build out these arrays. I am looking for help with a single formula to achieve this by just referencing the range for all columns.
It's a little tricky, but possible. For explanatory reason I am not putting everything into one, convoluted formula, but present step by step solution. DISCLAIMER: It's fast one, so it in not perfect.
Assumptions:
"Start" data are in Sheet named "Data"
Result is in Sheet named "Result"
Procedure
Add one column (A) to "start" data with this code in A1 (it will be our index):
=ArrayFormula(if(B1:B<>"";row(A1:A)-1;""))
In "Result" sheet put in A1 this code:
=ArrayFormula(INT((ROW(B1:INDIRECT("C"&(COUNTA(Data!$B1:B)-1)*4))-1)/4)+1)
In B1 this code:
=ArrayFormula(if(A1:A<>"";VLOOKUP(A1:A;Data!A1:E;2;0);"" ))
In C1 this:
=transpose(SPLIT(REPT(TEXTJOIN("*";1;Data!C1:1)&"*";COUNTUNIQUE(B1:B));"*";0;0))
In D1 this:
=ArrayFormula(IFERROR( VLOOKUP(B1:B;Data!B1:F;MATCH(C1:C;Data!B1:F1;0));""))
Finally in F1 - to clean the result put this:
={{"Name"\"Column"\"Number"};{B1:D20}}

Final thoughts
You can pack everything into one formula
Its very hasty solution, so it will not expand to more than 4 columns by itself (One, Two, etc). This is hard-coded now. If you can't figure it out, just give me a comment - I will show this places / fix them to make it dynamic
I have 5 columns of numbers that I want to sort per row into another set of columns. I figured I need to use small() (e.g. small(a2:e2,1) for f2; small(a2:e2,2) for g2 and so on). Is there away to iterate this for the next rows; if possible using only native google spreadsheet formulas?
Thanks in advance
I was able to make a temporary work around, but I had to use 3 cheat columns. It looks ok for now but I imagine it will be troublesome for really huge numbers.
Here's a sample sheet for reference: https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1MQTP2XkRsPRAnPQ5wLhkR8JoNVY6YOExVlOkkX8UeRs/edit#gid=0
The original data are in A3:E
The first cheat column (G3:G) simply creates a column of numbers from 1 to the largest number found in the source data. 1-9 is changed to 01-09 for easier searching. "#" is then added at the end-this will come handy later:
Cheat Column 1 =filter(if(row(A:A)=max(A:E)+1,ʺ#ʺ,text(row(A:A),ʺ00ʺ)),row(A:A)<=max(A:E)+1)
The second cheat column (H3:H) combines each row into a string separated by "-" with a "#" marker:
Cheat Column 2=filter(text(A3:A,ʺ00ʺ)&ʺ-ʺ&text(B3:B,ʺ00ʺ)&ʺ-ʺ&text(C3:C,ʺ00ʺ)&ʺ-ʺ&text(D3:D,ʺ00ʺ)&ʺ-ʺ&text(E3:E,ʺ00ʺ)&ʺ#ʺ,A3:A<>ʺʺ)
The last cheat column (I3:I) sorts each line (from cheat column 2) by finding each number from cheat column from 01 up to the max number, then the "#" char (this ensures that each line will still have the # end marker). "Find" will return the "position" of each number or an error if it's not found. By using "if", we can make "find" return the actual number or "" instead.
=filter(arrayformula(if(iferror(find(transpose(filter(G3:G,G3:G<>ʺʺ)),H3:H),ʺʺ), transpose(filter(G3:G,G3:G<>ʺʺ)),ʺʺ)),A3:A<>ʺʺ)
The formula above creates as many columns as there are numbers from cheat column 1. To prevent this, a "-" is added to each number then "Concatenate" is used to combine everything into one massive string with each set separated by "#". The string is then split using the "#" marker.
Cheat Column 3 =transpose(split(concatenate(filter(arrayformula(if(iferror(find(transpose(filter(G3:G,G3:G<>ʺʺ)),H3:H),ʺʺ),ʺ-ʺ&transpose(filter(G3:G,G3:G<>ʺʺ)),ʺʺ)),A3:A<>ʺʺ)),ʺ#ʺ))
Each number is then separated into each corresponding column by using mid().
Small 1 =filter(mid(I3:I,2,2)*1,A3:A<>ʺʺ)
Small 2 =filter(mid(I3:I,5,2)*1,A3:A<>ʺʺ)
Small 3 =filter(mid(I3:I,8,2)*1,A3:A<>ʺʺ)
Small 4 =filter(mid(I3:I,11,2)*1,A3:A<>ʺʺ)
Small 5 =filter(mid(I3:I,14,2)*1,A3:A<>ʺʺ)
Note that the formula above is only for numbers 1-99. For larger numbers, the Text() formulas should have more zeroes to correspond to the number of digits of the biggest number. The Mid() formulas should also be adjusted accordingly.
I would like to stress that I am very far from being a spreadsheet expert and that this solution is very "unoptimized". It requires several cheat columns; with the first one even having more rows than the original data. If anyone can help me get rid of the cheat columns (or at least the first one) I will be very grateful.
How about using SMALL like you mentioned in your question?
=small($A3:$E3,column()-columns($A3:$G3))
You will need to change the ranges accordingly. The last $G$3 is the cell just before the cell where the formula is placed.
