I am using OFFSET function to transpose the "Question" columns to rows so every row would correspond to a Link/Question combination as shown in the 2nd table.
I can hide values in columns A & B if column C is blank but this is taking TOO MUCH space in my table (my full data consist of 11 questions, and hundreds of rows, which won't fit in my sheet if I create a row for every Question column). I need to transform my functions to an array formula that would only populate a row for every Link/non blank Question combo, so that row 9 in the image below won't show up and its formula won't exist at all. I'm using Gsheets.
1st function for column A
2nd function for column C
OFFSET($A$2,FLOOR((ROW($A1)-ROW($A$1))/2,1),0)
OFFSET($C$2,FLOOR((ROW(A1)-ROW($A$1))/2,1),MOD((ROW(A1)-ROW($A$1))/2,1)*2)
Please try in A7:
=query({query(A2:C3,"select A,B,C where C is not NULL");query(A2:D3,"select A,B,D where D is not NULL")})
As mentioned by #Annan (thank you!) the outer query is redundant.
This really IS the same as in excel.. but I can't help the " only populate a row for every Link/non blank Question combo" part. Try :
A7 =if($C7="","",index($A$2:$D$3,int((row(A7)-7)/(COLUMNS($A$2:$D$3)-2))+1,match(A$6,$A$1:$D$1,0)))
B7 =if($C7="","",index($A$2:$D$3,int((row(B7)-7)/(COLUMNS($A$2:$D$3)-2))+1,match(B$6,$A$1:$D$1,0)))
C7 =index($A$2:$D$3,int((row(C7)-7)/(COLUMNS($A$2:$D$3)-2))+1,(2+if(mod(row(C6)-5,COLUMNS($A$2:$D$3)-2)=0,COLUMNS($A$2:$D$3)-2,mod(row(C6)-5,COLUMNS($A$2:$D$3)-2))))
and drag to A10:C10.
Hope it help it'll be useful though.. :)

SECOND IMAGE CLICK NUMBER 1 I Want To Transpose Row Value Range A2:A50 To Column CZ2 To BC2. Formula Should Be Given IN CZ2. AND VALUE SHOULD GET IN REVERSE OR LEFT COLUMNS.[First IMAGE Click Number 2] 2. If I Give Transpose (AO2:AO50) In CZ2 it Will go range from CZ2 To EW2. I Want Transpose in Reverse Columns. If I Increase Row Value AO2:AO60 It Should Flow Towards Left From CZ2 To AS2. I Mean Transpose Should work towards Left Side Columns. Its Ok with any other formula If Not Transpose. Hope My Question is Understandable. Someone Help Me Out. Thank You In Advance.
It's not clear why you would want to do this. However, the end goal can be achieved by placing the following formula in cell B2 (not CZ2):
=ArrayFormula(IFERROR(VLOOKUP(COLUMNS(B1:1)-COLUMN(B1:1)+ROW(A2)+1,{ROW(A2:A),A2:A},2,FALSE)))
Try it and you'll see what I mean.
The formula is written to be flexible. So if you add or subtract data from A2:A, the value in A2 will always be in Row 2 of the last column to the right in the sheet; and all other values will work backward from there.
If you always want to start to backward progression in Column CZ and Column CZ is not (or may not always be) your rightmost column, you can use this version:
=ArrayFormula(IFERROR(VLOOKUP(COLUMN(CZ1)-COLUMN(B1:CZ1)+ROW(A2)+1,{ROW(A2:A),A2:A},2,FALSE)))
Just understand that, if you don't have columns at least through Column CZ, this formula will fail to work as expected.
I recommend using the first formula I supplied above, since it will always work, no matter how many columns there are, filling backward as far as to the formula column (B2) as needed.
Understand also that if you have more than 103 rows of data in A2:A, that would be more than could fit between B2 and CZ2; so only the first 103 would be displayed.
ADDENDUM (after reading first two comments below):
The principle is the same if you want to run results from "CZ to BC"; only in this case, you want to limit the results to no more than 50.
Place the following formula in BC2:
=ArrayFormula(IFERROR(VLOOKUP(SEQUENCE(1,50,ROW(A2)+50-1,-1),{ROW(A2:A),A2:A},2,FALSE)))
To reiterate, you cannot run formulas that will fill or columns backward. (Even if the sheet is set to right-to-left font with Column A appearing at the far right, the formula is still filling A-Z according to that setup.) However, if you know that you want a 50-column range reserved and you want the answers to go backward, this can still be achieved by placing the formula in the first of the 50 columns rather than the last, as I have proposed above.
This works:
This does not:
I don't know why.
EDIT:
Thanks to Marios this works:
=ARRAYFORMULA( IF(B5:5 = "Start","",IF(
B6:6-A6:6>-1,B6:6-A6:6,0)))
"Start" to be changed to a named range with the actual date at the top of the sheet.
Explanation:
You are trying to execute this formula:
=ARRAYFORMULA(C6:6-B6:6)
in cell C7.
The issue with that is this part B6:6. This is a range of columns starting from B until the last column in your sheet, but since you put that formula in cell C7 your starting point is column C.
Essentially, you want to put the range of values from column B until the last column of the sheet but your available space is from C until the last column of the sheet and therefore you lack 1 column as the error also suggests.
An analogy would be:
fit a big box inside of a smaller one with a size difference of one column. In this case the big box is the range of B6:6 and you are trying to put it in a smaller box of a range C6:6.
Solution:
Try to put that formula on cell B7 and it will work. Don't drag it, because the big range will shift to column A and you will face the same issue. Just use the same exact formula on cell B7:
=ARRAYFORMULA(C6:6-B6:6)
While this might not be your goal, it explains what is the current issue you are facing and what to do in order to fix it.
Update based on your solution:
=ARRAYFORMULA(iferror(IF(B5:5 = "Start","",IF(B6:6-A6:6>-1,B6:6-A6:6,0)),""))
I added an iferror check to catch the first error value caused by the string.
You should use this:
=ARRAYFORMULA(IF(B5:5 = "Start","",IF(B6:6-A6:6>-1,B6:6-A6:6,0)))
My title might not be very specific, so I'm going to try to explain a little better.
The sheet is divided into a name(Column A), containing a certain number of values(Column B), that get added together to a total in Column C. Furthermore, Column D, E and F contains the values I want the Total in Column C multiplied by. These first columns A to F I just fill in manually, but I would like a function to calculate the Columns I've called x, y and z total (G, H and I).
I see a pattern in this, I just can't figure out the syntax to get Sheets to see it aswell.
The pattern I'm invisioning is for each row, I want column G, H and I to take the value 3 fields to their left, and multiply it by Column C, at their row number.
Is this somehow achievable? I tried finding a solution online but I guess I don't know how to word myself.
Here's a picture to maybe make everything a little clearer
This would save me alot of time, given that I have over a hundred different rows this calculation needs to be performed on...
If something is not clear, please feel free to write a comment. I'll be following this thread quite liberally.
Thanks in advance!
You can have this formula on the first xTotal:
cell G2: =ARRAYFORMULA(if(len(C2:C),C2:C*D2:D,))
cell G2: =ARRAYFORMULA(if(len(C2:C),C2:C*E2:E,))
cell G2: =ARRAYFORMULA(if(len(C2:C),C2:C*F2:F,))
I created a sheet with the same results you had before, but this time you don't need vertical columns, just say in the # of Values column how many numbers you should have below. You just need to input the values with the grey columns.
Note: This is assuming you will always have growing vertical numbers like 1,2,3,4,5. In the new sheet you just need to set 5 in the column and it will calculate the result.
Please make a copy of this sheet and edit as you wish.
Sheet
You can use a single, simpler formula for this in cell G2
=ARRAYFORMULA(if(C2:C="",,C2:C*{D2:D,E2:E,F2:F}))
I am using google sheets to make a spread sheet and do some simple math, I figured how to do the summing but the problem is that I have about 180 rows of data and want to avoid, if possible, the need to make a formula for every single pair of data. Here is the simple code that I have:
=SUM(AG4:AG5)
So I am writing this code in this case in AH4 and is always the same relative placement to the values I want to add. I want the sum of the two numbers one column to the left and the current row and a row under that. Is there any way to make it so that the same formula can be used over and over instead of typing each one out. Maybe some way to make the formula look one column to the left take that number and add it to the cell one column to the left and one row down?
Thanks for any help you can provide.
You can use the ARRAYFORMULA function to apply a formula to multiple rows. It does not like some functions, though, and SUM() is one of them. So we need to use a different method to add the numbers. In this case, we just use AG4 + AG5. To apply the formula to all the rows in the spreadsheet we do a little more. Here is the formula, which would be placed in cell AG3 provided that is where the formula should start adding items.
=ARRAYFORMULA( IF( ISBLANK( AG3:AG),, AG2:AG + AG3:AG))
The IF ISBLANK AG3:AG) causes the formula to be applied to every row from row 3 to the last row in the sheet. ISBLANK will return FALSE on any row we want to work on so we provide nothing to teh TRUE portion of the IF statement. Note that I did not put "" in for the TRUE portion as that actually places a value in the row and can cause problems with other formulas. Since we are placing this in cell AG3 the addition will increment adding the row above to the current row.
EDIT from Comments
Placing this in cell AH2 will get you what you want:
=ARRAYFORMULA( IF( ISBLANK( AG2:AG),, IF(iseven( ROW(AG2:AG)),AG2:AG + AG3:AG,)))
Taking it a step farther, placing this in cell AH1 will label the header row for you and keep the formula out of the data rows. This has the advantage of allowing rows to be inserted above row 2.
=ARRAYFORMULA( IF(ROW(AH1:AH) = 1, "Total", IF( ISBLANK( AG1:AG),, IF(iseven( ROW(AG1:AG)),AG1:AG + AG2:AG,))))
The explanation is similar to above, only minor changes were made.
NOTE: The rest of column AH (below the formula) should not have any other manually entered data, so you will have to delete your formulas.
I'm using Google Spreadsheets. I'll be using this image from a very similar question.
http://i.imgur.com/jqcNW.png [a link]Google Spreadsheet Formula to get last value in a row
Instead of giving the value, I want the Column top to show. So the H column would look something like: 2 1 3 1 4
(The product numbers from Row 1)
If it helps =index(B2:G2;1;counta(B2:G2)) was the answer given to the original question. My values would be words instead of numbers. It'd need to track the last 'Yes' in the row with the column top being dates.
I think this should be easy:
=index($B$1:$G$1;1;counta(B2:G2)) - if you write this to the H2 cell, it should search the "N"th element in the FIRST row ($B$1:$G$1) - where N represents the value of non-empty cells in that row (B2:G2).
You can then populate this H2 formula downwards.
Let me know if this helps.
