I have a google sheet with a list of [people], [dates], and [times]. I need a running total column that gives me a running time total on each line for each combination of name and date, as of that line. I have a working SUMIFS solution. The drawback of this solution is that it requires me to copy the formula down the entire column. Since I ultimately want this to work in a sheet that is fed by a form, I want to use either an ARRAYFORMULA or an APP SCRIPT solution, so that each new row will automatically do the calculation without my needing to copy down the formula.
You can see what I mean in this sample sheet:

Thanks for any thoughts you may have.

SUMIF() does not play nice with ARRAYFORMULA(). Have a look at this MMULT example spreadsheet, last sheet "Cumulative sum down column", column U

If you haven't used matrix multiplication before, and have trouble wrapping your head around the solution, try to follow the examples starting from the 1st sheet.

Below is a sample of the Google Sheet I'm working on:
https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1LDsfn_FMdUSfuFZAyuXf5gdlOSN9yLqhT1RY8aX7Nfs/edit?usp=sharing
On the spreadsheet Team Totals, I'm trying to calculate all the sales based on the date, the type of sale, and the program type starting from Row 27.
The problem I have run into is that the Named Range, Consultants, only pulls the data from the first cell of the Named range (Octo). What I want is for a formula that will pull the data of the selected range from each entry in the named range and sum them together.
For reference, I put what the proper values should be starting from Row 33.
The closest example I have seen was from this website: https://www.got-it.ai/solutions/excel-chat/excel-tutorial/sumif/sumif-across-multiple-sheets
However, I get the same problem that only the first cell in the named range gets pulled.
I feel like I'm missing something simple, but I have been bouncing it around my head for hours and can't figure it out. Any help is greatly appreciated.
So after trying to figure out a way not to use an iterative process, I folded and did this:
=arrayformula(SUMIFS(INDIRECT("'"&$B$4&"'!F6:F100"),INDIRECT("'"&$B$4&"'!D6:D100"),$B$2,INDIRECT("'"&$B$4&"'!E6:E100"),E$27,INDIRECT("'"&$B$4&"'!A6:A100"),$A41)+
SUMIFS(INDIRECT("'"&$B$5&"'!F6:F100"),INDIRECT("'"&$B$5&"'!D6:D100"),$B$2,INDIRECT("'"&$B$5&"'!E6:E100"),E$27,INDIRECT("'"&$B$5&"'!A6:A100"),$A41)+
SUMIFS(INDIRECT("'"&$B$6&"'!F6:F100"),INDIRECT("'"&$B$6&"'!D6:D100"),$B$2,INDIRECT("'"&$B$6&"'!E6:E100"),E$27,INDIRECT("'"&$B$6&"'!A6:A100"),$A41)+
SUMIFS(INDIRECT("'"&$B$7&"'!F6:F100"),INDIRECT("'"&$B$7&"'!D6:D100"),$B$2,INDIRECT("'"&$B$7&"'!E6:E100"),E$27,INDIRECT("'"&$B$7&"'!A6:A100"),$A41)+
SUMIFS(INDIRECT("'"&$B$8&"'!F6:F100"),INDIRECT("'"&$B$8&"'!D6:D100"),$B$2,INDIRECT("'"&$B$8&"'!E6:E100"),E$27,INDIRECT("'"&$B$8&"'!A6:A100"),$A41)+
SUMIFS(INDIRECT("'"&$B$9&"'!F6:F100"),INDIRECT("'"&$B$9&"'!D6:D100"),$B$2,INDIRECT("'"&$B$9&"'!E6:E100"),E$27,INDIRECT("'"&$B$9&"'!A6:A100"),$A41))
This formula allows me to cut and paste it to various cells easily, and does the job I need it to, while still using the indirect reference so I can change names without breaking the formula (granted I change the worksheet name as well).
I will need to edit this to include all possible worksheet amounts I can forsee, but once it's done, I won't have to tinker with names anymore.
I'm not happy with this answer, as it creates a really long and ugly formula, essentially repeating the same formula 20 times, but it does work. I feel like there should be an easy function that would be able to do this.
This will return Total sales:
=if(isna(ArrayFormula(QUERY({Lo!$A$5:$F; Tulio!$A$5:$F;Ya!$A$5:$F; Miguel!$A$5:$F;Kevin!$A$5:$F; Octo!$A$5:$F}, "select sum(Col6) where Col1=date '"&TEXT(A28,"yyyy-mm-dd")&"' label sum(Col6) ''",0)))=TRUE,0,ArrayFormula(QUERY({Lo!$A$5:$F; Tulio!$A$5:$F;Ya!$A$5:$F; Miguel!$A$5:$F;Kevin!$A$5:$F; Octo!$A$5:$F}, "select sum(Col6) where Col1=date '"&TEXT(A28,"yyyy-mm-dd")&"' label sum(Col6) ''",0)))
BTW, I get Total sales of $0, $615.50 and $2,498.00
The best way to pull data from a lot of unknown tab names without a script is to actually CREATE the tab names beforehand. On your sheet it looks like you're anticipating/making space for 21 employees. If I were you, I would just create 15 more tabs named Temp7,Temp8,Temp9... etc. Then you can just "hide" those tabs. Then a formula can be built in your totals section that will easily stack all the tabs up using an array literal and a QUERY( { } ) to add up the totals for you without all this INDIRECT() nonsense that you have been going through to pull from the individual tab names.
Would pre-adding tab names be something you were interested in if I could show you the formulas to make the totals easy to calculate?
I haven't been able to find a solution to get this formula to work after multiple days of searching. The google spreadsheet we use is large and used by many people so I would like to keep this in a separate google sheet using IMPORTRANGE.
Data Needed:
Count of assignments a specific user completed within 7 days and after 7 days based on a start and end date.
Where I'm running into issues:
I simplified the equation by using a small data set in the same sheet to see the main issue. When giving a range for the user # the formula doesn't work anymore. When only comparing it to one user # at a time it does.
For example:
This doesn't work:
=COUNTIFS(C2:C-B2:B,"<7",A2:A,E2)
This one does but needs to have the range for the table to work:
=COUNTIFS(C2:C-B2:B,"<7",A2,E2)
I might be going about this all wrong. Any help I could get is much appreciated.
E2: =UNIQUE(FILTER(A2:A, A2:A<>""))
F2 and drag down: =COUNTIF(ARRAYFORMULA(DAYS(FILTER(C$2:C,$A$2:$A=$E2),FILTER(B$2:B,$A$2:$A=$E2))),"<=7")
G2 and drag down: =COUNTIF(ARRAYFORMULA(DAYS(FILTER(C$2:C,$A$2:$A=$E2),FILTER(B$2:B,$A$2:$A=$E2))),">7")
I have a Google Sheets in question. Here is a mocked version that you can copy or comment on: https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1szcfZt_CtE0Cd_evKJwN4enZE7JcmDFcw9XhoX-_mlw/edit?usp=sharing
The sheets comes with 2 columns, Test number and Test result. I'd like to use array formula to automatically fill column C whenever new tests are entered. The specification is that the number in column C should always refer to the last "Fail" test number up till each row. You can see the expected result in column E.
I can come up with many solutions that require a formula to be applied to each new cell, which I think is iterative approach. One example is in column G. The reason is that "up till the current row" can't be met with array formula. I tried QUERY function with no success. I know App Script can do this too, but that's not auto fill approach as well.
EDIT: Added a brute-force solution, which can only work with limit number of consecutive "Pass" results.
Please see the screenshot for a solution using an array formula.
I have a sheet that pulls numbers from several different sheets to amalgamate numbers. Each week, a new sheet is added to the source files, all with the same name. I'd like to update the amalgamated sheet by changing one cell instead of many.
When the tab is located in the same Google sheet, this is easily done with INDIRECT.
Right now, the formula in the amalgamated sheet is:
=IMPORTRANGE(M4, "Aug29!$F$2")
That formula is on each line to pull from several different sheets:
=IMPORTRANGE(M5, "Aug29!$F$2")
=IMPORTRANGE(M6, "Aug29!$F$2")
and so on.
Each week, the "Aug29" changes to the new date - "Sep5", "Sep12", etc.
What I'd like to do is use INDIRECT to pull that part of the equation in (from cell Z1) so that I don't have to update each formula.
I was thinking I could use CONCATENATE to create the "Aug29!$F$2" portion of the formula with INDIRECT:
=IMPORTRANGE(M4, CONCATENATE(INDIRECT(Z1), "!$F$2"))
The problem is, the IMPORTRANGE formula requires quotations around the range string, and I can't figure out how to add them.
Weird problem, I'm sure, but wondering if there's anyone with a solution?
Short answer
Use =IMPORTRANGE(M4, CONCATENATE(Z1, "!$F$2")) or =IMPORTRANGE(M4, Z1&"!$F$2")
Explanation
INDIRECT requires a string that represents a cell or range references, like "Z1" but it will increase unnecessarily the complexity of your formula.
If Z1 has the name of the sheet, then just concatenate it by using CONCATENATE, CONCAT or &
UNTESTED. Please try something like:
=IMPORTRANGE(M4,Z$2)
with in Z2 something like:
=Z1&"!$F$2"
In other words, I think your IMPORTRANGE does not like INDIRECT.
I'm trying to summarize data from several Google spreadsheet' sheets in a single one but I have some issues with SUMIF and FIND.
To Sum data from another sheet I have to use this (at least that's the only solution I've found)
=SUM(INDIRECT(""&A6&""&"!E2:E"))
Where I have the name of my sheet on A6.This makes everything easy because I have a column (A) with all the names of the sheets. I haven't found something like Sheets[1] in Google Docs.
My next step was to Sum Times from a specific column but remove a specific values, which in this case is 1 that get transformed internally 24:00:00 since it's a time column:
=SUM(INDIRECT(""&A6&""&"!D2:D")) - SUMIF(INDIRECT(""&A6&""&"!D2:D");"24:00:00")
Here I tried to do everything with a single SUMIF but I have no idea how. NOT("24:00:00") didn't work so I settled to this.
The last part is the most difficult and I'm not able to solve it.
I have a column with month names (for example) and I want to sum some data only when the month name contains "er". Here is what I thought:
=SUMIF(A6:A16,ISNUMBER(Find("er")),G6:G16)
This gives me always 0
(Note that the last one contains A6:A16 instead of the whole INDIRECT part because I am still testing it in a single sheet.)
Any Idea what I'm doing wrong?
I don't know why the above SUMIF doesn't work, what I've tested and works is:
=SUMIF(A6:A16,"*er*",G6:G16)
SUMIF is NOT SUM + IF as I thought. I hope it will help someone else.
