List cell values if criteria met in Google Sheet - google-sheets

I am working on a formula that will yield the following result:
- Checks value of cells (B2:B) and returns the value of cells (A2:A) if the value is less than or equal to 'x'.
See this image for reference.
The expected outcome here would be:
- E2: Raking leaves, Shoveling Dirt
- E3: Doing Laundry
- E4: Changing Spark Plugs
I can get the formula working on a basic level (per row) with this:
=IF(B2:B = 1,A2:A ,null)
I don't know how to go about comma-separating the titles in ONE cell like I've put in my example though. Can anyone help?

You can filter for the criterion
FILTER(A2:A, B2:B <= 1)
If you want them all in one cell you can join the resulting range together like this
=JOIN(", ", FILTER(A2:A, B2:B <= 1))

Summing specific values in a joined list

I am having some difficulties summing up some values in Google Sheets. In my spreadsheet, from multiple other tabs, values and bonuses are combined into one cell (Cell B1 in this example). The format of each "unit" of data is Name,5%xxx (Where "Name" is the name of the item, "5%" represents the sum I want to add, mostly always a percentage, and "xxx" separates one unit from the next). As you can see in cell B1, there are two instances where "Parkour" receives a bonus to sum up (from different sources).
Parkour,5%xxxParkour (Subskill: Sense of Balance),10%xxxParkour,2%xxx
Parkour
0.07
Parkour (Subskill: Sense of Balance)
H2H Combat: Parkour
The formula in cell B2 is:
=IFERROR(SUM(ARRAYFORMULA(IFERROR(VALUE(MID(FILTER(SPLIT(TEXTJOIN("",TRUE,filter(B$1,regexmatch(B$1,$A2)=TRUE)),"xxx"),SEARCH($A2,SPLIT(TEXTJOIN("",TRUE,filter(B$1,regexmatch(B$1,$A2)=TRUE)),"xxx"))),len($A2)+2,1000)),""))),"")
(Dragged down through the rest of the list) (Could not figure out how to make the formula "in line" on the question.)
Expected Results:
B2 = .07 (Working)
B3 = .1 (Not working)
B4 = Blank (Working)
The goal of the formula is to look into cell B1, and split everything out by "xxx". Then, filter the array of items with only exact matches with the line item in column A, then split again by the comma and add up those values. It worked for the first line item, but not the second. (Unsure why, but I strongly believe it has something to do with the parenthesis. When I removed the parenthesis from the name in Column A (and adjusted cell B1 to not have parenthesis), it worked. However, given the structure of the data, parenthesis are required, and I need to find a way for it to work with them.)
When I removed the IFERROR wrap around it in cell B3, I get this error note:
Function SUM parameter 1 expects number values. But " is a text and cannot be coerced to a number.
Any help is greatly appreciated.
You may find useful combining SPLIT with QUERY like this. It will group names and sum percentages:
=QUERY(INDEX (IFERROR(SPLIT(FLATTEN(INDEX(SPLIT(B1:B100,"xxx"))),","))),"SELECT Col1,SUM(Col2) where Col1 is not null group by Col1")
PS: invented a couple of extra line
UPDATE
I've thought you had another goal, try this formula. Having the previous chart generated by QUERY, I used VLOOKUP to match first column and return second one:
=INDEX(IFERROR (VLOOKUP(A2:A,QUERY(INDEX (SPLIT(FLATTEN(SPLIT(B1,"xxx")),",")),"SELECT Col1,SUM(Col2) where Col1 is not null group by Col1"),2,0)))

ARRAYFORMULA is only populating the first row

I have financial data that I am trying to summarize in a format that can be used by a line chart.
The example spreadsheet is here.
In my source data on the left, I have an entry per Date, Symbol, Account. I need to transform this data so there is a row per Date and a column for each Symbol. I will SUM Total Value regardless of account.
I found a way to pull a unique Date (see H2), and then transpose unique Symbols into columns (see I1).
I also found a way to use SUMIFS to get the aggregation I want (take a look at cell I2), but I can't figure out how to use ARRAYFORMULA to apply this value to all rows in column I.
I know I can drag my formula from I2 down to I3,I4,I.. etc, but this sheet is part of a larger project so I'd like it to auto-populate as dates are added to H.
From what I've read ARRAYFORMULA should apply the formula to multiple rows. What am I missing?
Thanks
use:
=QUERY(A1:F, "select A,sum(F) where A is not null group by A pivot B", 1)
Use formulas like this
=ARRAYFORMULA(IF(H2:H="",,SUMIFS($F$2:$F, $A$2:$A, $H2, $B$2:$B, I$1)))
Add IF(H2:H="",,

if the range is empty "" do nothing ,, else Your formula

Google Sheets: Find a Row that Matches Only a Few Specific Characteristics

I can't seem to find the right equation to find a cell from a row that matches only a few specific characteristics. In this example, I am trying to find the equation for Column D which would be the cell in A that has the same cells for B & C.
Hope this makes sense!
I'll provide two options.
If you're sure your data will only ever have zero or one match, you can place the following formula into D2 of an otherwise empty range D2:D...
=ArrayFormula(IF(A2:A="",,SUBSTITUTE(VLOOKUP(B2:B&C2:C,{B2:B&C2:C,A2:A},2,FALSE)&VLOOKUP(B2:B&C2:C,SORT({B2:B&C2:C,A2:A,ROW(A2:A)},3,0),2,FALSE),A2:A,"")))
However, if you think more than one match may turn up and you want "None" to be returned if there is no match, you can use the following formula in D2 or an otherwise empty range D2:D...
=ArrayFormula(IF(A2:A="",,REGEXREPLACE(REGEXEXTRACT(REGEXREPLACE(SUBSTITUTE(VLOOKUP(B2:B&C2:C,TRIM(SPLIT(FLATTEN(QUERY(QUERY({B2:B&C2:C&"~",A2:A&","}, "Select MAX(Col2) where Col2 IS NOT NULL GROUP BY Col2 PIVOT Col1"),, 9^9)),"~")),2,FALSE),A2:A,""),"^[,\s]+$","None"),"([^,\s].+[^,\s])[,\s]*$"),"[,\s]+",", ")))
The second formula will work even if there will only ever be zero or one match; it's just not necessary to have it be that lengthy. And the second formula is only as lengthy because it was unclear from your posted examples whether the data in Col A, B and C will really only ever be one word or not; so the formula is built to assume there will not always be one-word strings in those columns.
Either formula will provide results for the entire column without dragging.
Here's an option, You can use this formula in column D2:
=iferror(textjoin(", ",true,query($A$2:$C,"Select A where A is not null and A != '"&$A2&"' and B = '"&$B2&"' and C = '"&$C2&"'",0)),"None")
Limitation:
You need to manually drag the formula to its succeeding rows. Arrayformula() cannot be used in looping the query string values.
What it does?
Using query(), filter the data from A2:C that has the same current row last name(Column B) and food(Column C) at the same time having a different first name(Column A)
If there are multiple results, use textjoin() to combine them with ", " as its delimiter.
If there is no matched found, it will return an error, hence use iferror() to set the default value to "None"

Why my ArrayFormula is giving error? How do I correct it? (I'm not looking for another Arrayformula as solutions!)

I wanted a ArrayFormula at C1 which gives the required result as shown.
Entry sheet:
(Column C is my required column)
Date Entered is the date when the Name is Assigned a group i.e. a, b, c, d, e, f
Criteria:
The value of count is purely on basis of Date Entered (if john is assigned a on lowest date(10-Jun) then count value is 1, if rose is assigned a on 2nd lowest date(17-Jun) then count value is 2).
The value of count does not change even when the data is sorted in any manner because Date Entered column values is always permanent & does not change.
New entry date could be any date not necessarily highest date (If a new entry with name Rydu is assigned a on 9-Jun then the it's count value will become 1, then john's (10-Jun) will become 2 and so on)
Example:
After I sort the data in any random order say like this:
Random ordered sheet:
(Count value remains permanent)
And when I do New entries in between (Row 4th & 14th) and after last row (Row 17th):
Random Ordered sheet:
(Doesn't matter where I do)
I already got a ArrayFormula which gives the required result:
={"AF Formula1"; ArrayFormula(IF(B2:B="", "", COUNTIFS(B$2:B, "="&B2:B, D$2:D, <"&D2:D)+1))}
I'm not looking for another Arrayformula as solutions. What I want is to know what is wrong in my ArrayFormula? and how do I correct it?
I tried to figure my own ArrayFormula but it's not working:
I got Formula for each cell:
=RANK($D2,FILTER($D$2:$D, $B$2:$B=$B2),1)
I figured out Filter doesn't work with ArrayFormula so I had to take a different approach.
I took help from my previous question answer (Arrayformula at H3) which was similar since in both cases each cell FILTER formula returns more than 1 value. (It was actually answered by player0)
Using the same technique I came up with this Formula which works absolutely fine :
=RANK($D2, ARRAYFORMULA(TRANSPOSE(SPLIT(VLOOKUP($B2, SUBSTITUTE(TRIM(SPLIT(FLATTEN(QUERY(QUERY({$B:$B&"×", $D:$D}, "SELECT MAX(Col2) WHERE Col2 IS NOT NULL GROUP BY Col2 PIVOT Col1", 1),, 9^9)), "×")), " ", ","), 2, 0), ","))), 1)
Now when I tried converting it to ArrayFormula:
($D2 to $D2:$D & $B2 to $B2:$B)
=ARRAYFORMULA(RANK($D2:$D,TRANSPOSE(SPLIT(VLOOKUP($B2:$B, SUBSTITUTE(TRIM(SPLIT(FLATTEN(QUERY(QUERY({$B:$B&"×", $D:$D}, "SELECT MAX(Col2) WHERE Col2 IS NOT NULL GROUP BY Col2 PIVOT Col1", 1),, 9^9)), "×")), " ", ","), 2, 0), ",")), 1))
It gives me an error "Did not find value '' in VLOOKUP evaluation", I figured out that the problem is only in VLOOKUP when I change $B2 to $B2:$B.
I'm sure VLOOKUP works with ArrayFormula, I fail to understand where my formula is going wrong! Please help me correct my ArrayFormula.
Here is the editable sheet link
if I understand correctly, you are trying to "rank" B column based on D column dates in such way that dates are in theoretical ascending order so if you randomize your dataset, the "rank" of each entry would stay same and not change based on the randomness you introduce.
therefore the correct formula would be:
={"fx"; INDEX(IFNA(VLOOKUP(B2:B&D2:D,
{INDEX(SORT({B2:B&D2:D, D2:D}, 2, 1),,1),
IFERROR(1/(1/COUNTIFS(
INDEX(SORT(B2:D, 3, 1),,1),
INDEX(SORT(B2:D, 3, 1),,1), ROW(B2:B), "<="&ROW(B2:B))))}, 2, 0)))}
{"fx"; ...} array of 2 tables (header & actual table) under each other eg. ;
outer shorter INDEX or longer ARRAYFORMULA (doesnt matter which one) is needed coz we are processing an array
IFNA for removing possible #N/A errors from VLOOKUP function when VLOOKUP fails to find a match
we VLOOKUP joint B and D column B2:B&D2:D in our virtual table {} and returning second 2 column if there is an exact match 0
our virtual table {INDEX(SORT({B2:B&D2:D, D2:D}, 2, 1),,1), ...} we VLOOKUP from is constructed with 2 columns next to each other eg. ,
we are getting the first column by creating an array of 2 columns {B2:B&D2:D, D2:D} next to each other where we SORT this array by date/2nd column 2, in ascending order 1 but all we need after sorting is the 1st column so we use INDEX where we bring all rows ,, and the first column 1
now lets take a look on how we getting the 2nd column of our virtual table by using COUNTIFS which will mimic the "rank"
IFERROR(1/(1/ is used to remove all zero values from the output (all empty rows would have 0 in it as the "rank")
under COUNTIFS we put 2 pairs of arguments: "if column is qual to column" and "if row is larger or equal to next row increment it by 1" ROW(B2:B), "<="&ROW(B2:B))
for "if column is qual to column" we do this twice and use range B2:D and sort it by date/3rd column 3 in ascending order 1 and of this we again need only the 1st column so we INDEX it and return all rows ,, and first column 1
with this formula you can add, remove or randomize your dataset and you will always get the right value for each of your rows
as for why your formula doesnt work... to not get #N/A error for vlookup you would need to define the end row of the range but still, the result wont be as you would expect coz formula is not the right one for this job.
as mentioned there are functions that are not supported under AF like SUM,AND,OR and then there are also functions which work but in a different way like IFS or with some limitations like SPLIT,GOOGLEFINANCE,etc.
I have answered you on the tab in your shared sheet called My Practice thusly:
You cannot split a two column array as you have attempted to do in cell CI2. That is why your formula does not work. You can only split a ONE column array.
I understand you are trying to learn, but attempting to use complicated formulas like that is going to make it harder I'm afraid.

How to use sumif with arrayformula?

I am having trouble with arrayformula.
I have some data at Col A & B, SUMIF($A$2:$A2,"ABC",$B$2:$B2) works perfectly fine, but I'd like to use arrayformula so I don't have to drag down the formula.
But using ArrayFormula(SUMIF($A$2:$A2,$C$1,$B$2:$B2)) doesn't do anything at all, is there any way I can make it work? I have no idea how.
Here is another option (say, in E2):
=ArrayFormula(IF(A2:A="",,SUMIF(ROW(A2:A)*IF(A2:A="ABC",1,9^9),"<="&ROW(A2:A),B2:B)))
How It Works:
IF(A2:A="",, means "If a row in A2:A is blank, do nothing for that row."
ROW(A2:A)*IF(A2:A="ABC",1,9^9) will create a number based on the row number at each row: the row number itself multiplied by 1 for rows matching "ABC" (resulting in the row number again, since anything times 1 is itself) or multiplied by 9^9 (i.e., some enormous number, which will be the result of for all rows that are not "ABC").
This will be matched against the condition "<="&ROW(A2:A). So only rows at or before "each row" that matched "ABC" will deliver results.
try in E2:
=INDEX(IF(A2:A="ABC",MMULT(1*TRANSPOSE(IF((TRANSPOSE(ROW(
INDIRECT("A2:A"&MAX(ROW(A2:A)*(A2:A<>"")))))>=ROW(
INDIRECT("A2:A"&MAX(ROW(A2:A)*(A2:A<>"")))))*(
INDIRECT("A2:A"&MAX(ROW(A2:A)*(A2:A<>"")))=TRANSPOSE(
INDIRECT("A2:A"&MAX(ROW(A2:A)*(A2:A<>""))))),
INDIRECT("B2:B"&MAX(ROW(A2:A)*(A2:A<>""))), 0)), ROW(
INDIRECT("A2:A"&MAX(ROW(A2:A)*(A2:A<>""))))^0),))
