I want to return "Yes" or "No" results in column N when there are empty cells next to each other in the range B:M
And column O counts the number of times there are empty cells next to each other.
Thank you.
use in O2:
=INDEX(LEN(SUBSTITUTE(FLATTEN(QUERY(TRANSPOSE(IF(REGEXMATCH(TRIM(
SPLIT(FLATTEN(QUERY(TRANSPOSE(IF(B2:M5="", "×", "¤")),,9^9)),
"¤")), "× ×"), 1, )),,9^9)), " ", )))
use in N2:
=INDEX(IF(O2:O=0, "No", "Yes"))
I am facing a problem related to the dynamic array.
I have data in the below format.
And I want to convert to this format.
Here is the sheet link.
I am using this formula to filter Fruits category.
={FILTER(A5:D11,B5:B11="Fruits");SUM( FILTER(D5:D11,B5:B11="Fruits"))}
But it gives this error
In ARRAY_LITERAL, an Array Literal was missing values for one or more rows
NOTE: Data should be pulled dynamically from the formula, as the data may change.
To build the result table without hard coding category names in the formula, use the recently introduced lambda functions, like this:
={
lambda(
data, categories, headers, totalsHeader, blankRow, selectPrice,
reduce(
headers, query(unique(categories), "where Col1 is not null", 0),
lambda(
resultTable, filterKey,
{
resultTable;
lambda(
filterData,
{
filterData;
{ totalsHeader, query(filterData, selectPrice, 0) };
blankRow
}
)(filter(data, categories = filterKey))
}
)
)
)(
B5:D,
B5:B,
B4:D4,
{ "", "Total:" },
{ "", "", "" },
"select sum(Col3) label sum(Col3) '' "
);
{ "", "Grand Total:", sum(D5:D) }
}
See { array expressions }, filter(), query(), reduce() and lambda().
The formula will repeat each category name on several rows. If they get in the way, you can hide them from view by using a conditional formatting custom formula rule.
I did some tests to add all the information in just one formula. It will change the format you want, but it will still divide all the information.
Here is the formula:
={"Fruits:","";QUERY(B5:D,"select C, D where B ='Fruits'");
{"Total:",SUMIF(B5:D,"Fruits",D5:D)};"","";
"Vegetables:","";QUERY(B5:D,"select C, D where B ='Vegetables'");
{"Total:",SUMIF(B5:D,"Vegetables",D5:D);"","";
"condiments:","";QUERY(B5:D,"select C, D where B ='condiments'");
{"Total:",SUMIF(B5:D,"condiments",D5:D)};"","";
"Grand Total:",SUM(D5:D)}}
Note:
I added : and the end of each category in the formula so they will look like Fruits: and the table will look like this:
The formula opens with { to open an array in Google Sheets, and you use , to separate columns to write a row of data, and ; to separate the rows to help you write a column of data. After that, you use } to close the array. For example:
{"1","2";"3","4"}
It will print:
So basically, I organize the data with arrays of the same amounts of columns. The first one with part
= { => To open the array.
"Fruits:",""; => This create a cell with "Fruits:" + an empty cell.
QUERY(B5:D,"select C, D where B ='Fruits'"); => which is
already on an array of 2 columns.
{"Total:",SUMIF(B5:D,"Fruits",D5:D)}; => Creates the "Total" cell + the sum
of values that has Fruits in column B.
"",""; => Which will create an empty row to separate the information
for the next set of arrays.
You do the same pattern for the other categories.
} => to end the initial array.
You can add a "Conditional formatting" that will change the text with : to bold automatically.

I suggest you read on: https://stackoverflow.com/a/58042211/5632629
the first part of your formula outputs a grid of 4×3 cells
the second part of your formula outputs a single cell
if you want to combine it properly use:
={FILTER(A5:D11, B5:B11="Fruits");
{"","","Totals",SUM(FILTER(D5:D11, B5:B11="Fruits"))}}
or:
={FILTER(B5:D11, B5:B11="Fruits");
{"","Totals",SUM(FILTER(D5:D11, B5:B11="Fruits"))}}
Say we have the following spreadsheet in google sheets:
a a
b b
c
d e
e d
How would I build a formula that counts the number of rows in column B that do not match the corresponding row in column A, and are not blank? In other words I want to get the number of rows that changed to a new letter in column B. So in this example the formula should return 2.
Thank you for your help.
UPDATE:
Now suppose I have this spreadsheet:
a a
b b b
c a
d e e
e d e
How would I build on the last formula for the third column, where the value returned is:
(the number of rows in column 3 that don't match the corresponding row in column 2) + (if column 2 is blank, the number of rows in column 3 that do not match the corresponding row in column 1)
and I also don't want to count blanks in the third column.
The value returned in this case should be 2 (rows 3 and 5).
To me it sounds like you could use:
=SUMPRODUCT((B:B<>"")*(B:B<>A:A))
=IFNA(ROWS(FILTER(A:B,
(A:A<>B:B)*
(B:B<>"")
)),0)
FILTER by matching conditions * for AND + for OR.
ROWS counts rows
IFNA returns 0 if nothing was found.
or with QUERY
=INDEX(QUERY(A:B,"select count(B) where B<>A"),2)
Try this:
=ARRAYFORMULA(COUNTA($B$1:$B)-SUM(COUNTIFS($A$1:$A, $B$1:$B,$B$1:$B,"<>")))
I see 2 ways to complete this.
First you could add a function to each row to return 1 or 0 if the value changed and was not blank and then sum results. This unfortunately adds a messy column in your spreadsheet.
=if(A1<>IF(ISBLANK(B1),A1,B1),1,0)
Second you could create a function where you would pass the range as a string.
The call from the worksheet would look like this:
=myFunction("A1:B5")
Then create a script by opening Tools -> Script editor and use something like this
function myFunction(r) {
var sheet = SpreadsheetApp.getActiveSheet();
var range = sheet.getRange(r);
var numRows = range.getNumRows();
var areDifferent = 0;
for (let i=1; i<= numRows; i++) {
let currentValue = range.getCell(i,1).getValue();
let cmpValue = range.getCell(i,2).getValue();
if ((currentValue != cmpValue) && (cmpValue != "")) {
areDifferent++;
}
}
return areDifferent;
}
I have a complex Google Sheet query that works great except when a Google Sheet doesn't have as many columns as I use in my formula.
Here's what the formula looks like now:
=sum(filter(query(INDIRECT("'" & A2 & "'!$A$7:$23"),"select Q,R,S,T,U,V,W,X,Y,Z,AA,AB,AC,AD,AE,AF,AG,AH where B='"&C2&"'",0),query(INDIRECT("'" & A2 & "'!$A$7:$23"),"select Q,R,S,T,U,V,W,X,Y,Z,AA,AB,AC,AD,AE,AF,AG,AH where B='PROJECT'",0) >=date(2017,1,1),query(INDIRECT("'" & A2 & "'!$A$7:$23"),"select Q,R,S,T,U,V,W,X,Y,Z,AA,AB,AC,AD,AE,AF,AG,AH where B='PROJECT'",0) <=date(2017,12,31)))
It works great. But the problem is I run it against many worksheets and some don't have e.g. column AG,AH and end at AF at which point I get an error.
So what I need is a way to generate the string Q,R,S....[Name of Last Column in Sheet] and then I can use that instead of my hard-coded Q,R,S,T,U,V,W,X,Y,Z,AA,AB,AC,AD,AE,AF,AG,AH but I cannot figure out how to do that.
Any help is greatly appreciated. Thanks!
Per comments above, final formula was:
LEFT("Q,R,S,T,U,V,W,X,Y,Z,AA,AB,AC,AD,AE,AF,AG,AH,AI,AJ,AK,AL,AM,AN,AO,AP,AQ,AR,AS,AT,AU,AV,AW,AX,AY,AZ,BA,BB,BC ",2*Columns(INDIRECT(A2&"!1:1"))-33+IF(Columns(INDIRECT(A2&"!1:1"))>26,Columns(INDIRECT(A2&"!1:1"))-26,0))
where column A contains the list of worksheets (tabs) in the Google Sheet. Put this in B2, and then copied it down. I am not marking this as the correct answer since others gave a correct formula-based answer but this did the trick for me.
This can be done with built-in functions:
On a helper sheet, let say you name it, helper, fill up range with letters A to Z, let say A1:A26
Let say that on B1 you write the following formula:
=ArrayFormula({A1:A26;TRANSPOSE(SPLIT(JOIN(",",SUBSTITUTE(QUERY(TRANSPOSE(A1:A26)&A1:A26,,27)," ",",")),","))}) . This will create a list of column letter headers.
On each new worksheet use columns(1:1) to get the total number of columns.
To get your string of column headers, then you could use something like :
JOIN(",",OFFSET(helper!B1,16,0,columns(1:1)-16))
QUERY(helper!B:B,"select B limit "&columns(1:1)-7&" offset 7")
NOTE:
If you decide to have only one helper sheet and use it on several spreadsheets, then use
QUERY(IMPORTRANGE(your_url,"helper!B:B"),"select Col1 limit "&columns(1:1)-7&" offset 7")
This can be done with script. Without seeing you spreadsheet, it is hard to know exactly what you need, but this should be close. I get the variables from Sheet1 and return the formula to Sheet1. Adjust the sheet name to fit your needs. This will look at your data sheets based on the variable sheet name determine the last column. Determine the column letters and build the string the query needs. It then sets the new query formula. I added a menu to run it from.
function onOpen() {
SpreadsheetApp.getActiveSpreadsheet().addMenu(
'Create Data', [
{ name: 'Run', functionName: 'formula' },
]);
}
function formula(){
var ss= SpreadsheetApp.getActiveSpreadsheet()
var s=ss.getSheetByName("Sheet1") //sheet where variables are
var sheet=s.getRange("A2").getValue()//variable sheet name
var sel=makeString(sheet) //get the select string of column letters
//Create formula and return to Sheet1 A3
var f= s.getRange("A3").setFormula('=sum(filter(query(INDIRECT("\'" & A2 & "\'!$A$7:$23"),"select '+sel+' where B=\'"&C2&"\'",0),query(INDIRECT("\'" & A2 & "\'!$A$7:$23"),"select '+sel+' where B=\'PROJECT\'",0) >=date(2017,1,1),query(INDIRECT("\'" & A2 & "\'!$A$7:$23"),"select '+sel+' where B=\'PROJECT\'",0) <=date(2017,12,31)))')
}
function makeString(sht){
var ss= SpreadsheetApp.getActiveSpreadsheet()
var s=ss.getSheetByName(sht)
var lc=s.getLastColumn()
var rng=s.getRange(1, 17, 1, lc).getValues()
var str=''
var ltr=[]
for(var i=17;i<rng[0].length+1;i++){
ltr[i]= columnToLetter(i)
str=ltr.join(',')
}
var str1=str.substr(17)
return str1
}
function columnToLetter(column)
{
var temp, letter = '';
while (column > 0)
{
temp = (column - 1) % 26;
letter = String.fromCharCode(temp + 65) + letter;
column = (column - temp - 1) / 26;
}
return letter;
}
Let me know if you have any questions.
