I can't make lookup working properly when used in rows. Where am I wrong ?
See my attempt in the following image
Why are you using LOOKUP? It's very limited in its capability.
To answer your question; it's not working because the LOOKUP requires that the search range is in ascending order, i.e. A - Z in your lookup range you go from a - z - e and this is why it's not working.
You should use the HLOOKUP instead, try this formula instead: =HLOOKUP(D2,$A$2:$C$3,2,0)
Try this:
=HLOOKUP(D3,$A$2:$C$3,2,0)

I'm trying to search 3 different ranges in a tab, and trying to display Yes if all three values (email address, name, x) are found in those ranges. Basically, trying to have the formula confirm that yes, all three of those inputs are somewhere in those ranges (order doesn't matter).
Maybe I should use query or regexmatch or something? Any help is appreciated
Tried this formula:
=IF(AND('Helper Calculations'!$I:$I=$A$1,'Helper Calculations'!$J:$J=L$1,'Helper Calculations'!$L:$L=$A2),"Yes","No")
Was expecting that if the search term in each of those cells ($A$1, L$1, $A2) is found somewhere in the corresponding ranges, then it would say Yes
You can try with this (you can change the use of asterisks by wrapping in AND:
=IF(COUNTIF('Helper Calculations'!$I:$I,$A$1)*COUNTIF('Helper Calculations'!$J:$J,L$1)*COUNTIF('Helper Calculations'!$L:$L=$A2),"YES,"NO")
try:
=INDEX(IF(('Helper Calculations'!I:I=A1)*
('Helper Calculations'!J:J=L1)*
('Helper Calculations'!L:L=A2), "Yes", "No"))
Took a bit more work than I expected, but I got this working. I needed to verify that all 3 values were correct in a single row (must all be correct on that one row, can't find the correct values on multiple rows).
In order to do that, I needed to use array formula, and then decided to use index match and concatenate for the 3 values.
Process described here: https://www.ablebits.com/office-addins-blog/google-sheets-index-match/
correct formula: =IF(ArrayFormula(INDEX('Helper Calculations'!$I:$I,MATCH(CONCATENATE($A$1,L$1,$A2),'Helper Calculations'!$I:$I&'Helper Calculations'!$J:$J&'Helper Calculations'!$L:$L, 0),))=$A$1,"Y"))

Im trying to get the sum of all values for each ID. The values im trying to add up are found in the Source tab while the calculations are done in the Output. My desired values are based on 2 things: ID and Date. The Id is supposed to match and the Date is supposed to be February. I tried first just using a sumif with just matching ID and it worked using this formula: =ARRAYFORMULA(IF(A2:A="",, SUMIF(Source!A:A,A2:A,Source!B:B)))
But when I add the 2nd critera and use a sumifs function, it only outputs for the first id. Here is the sumifs formula I used: =ARRAYFORMULA(SUMIFS(Source!B2:B,Source!A2:A,A2:A,Source!C2:C,">="&DATE(2021,2,1),Source!C2:C,"<="&DATE(2021,2,28)))
I tried using query as some of the answers I found online suggested to use it but it also outputs the first data only, here is the query formula I used =ARRAYFORMULA(QUERY(Source!A2:C,"select sum(B) where A = '"&Output!A2:A&"' and C >= date '"&TEXT(DATEVALUE("2/1/2021"),"yyyy-mm-dd")&"' and C <= date '"&TEXT(DATEVALUE("2/28/2021"),"yyyy-mm-dd")&"' label sum(B) '' "))
I know this is possible by making a temporary query/filter where you only include desired dates and from there I can use SUMIF, but I will be needing to make a monthly total and making 12 of these calculated temporary filters/query would take up a lot of space since we have a lot of data so I want to avoid this option if possible. Is there a better fix to this situation?
Solved by Astrotia - =arrayformula(sumif(I3:I20&month(K3:K20), A2:A6&2, J3:J20))
I'd like to run a =SUM(A1:G1), but always skip one column, regardless if it has value or not.
In this case, it should calculate A1+C1+E1+G1.
Is there another function I could append to SUM() or other similar functions as SUM in order to skip one column?
Thank you!
Using the following method you can calculate any number of alternate columns, without the need of manual +
Suppose your data is in second row onwards, use this formula
=SUMPRODUCT(A2:G2, MOD(COLUMN(A2:G2),2))
Simply a sumproduct of cell values and a array of {1,0,1,0,1...}
Another slight variation
=SUMPRODUCT(A2:G2*ISODD(COLUMN(A2:G2)))
But if the even columns contain letters instead of numbers this will give an error, so you can use instead
=SUMPRODUCT(N(+A1:G1)*ISODD(COLUMN(A1:G1)))
Comparing #AnilGoyal's answer, this works as well
=SUMPRODUCT(A1:G1,--ISODD(COLUMN(A1:G1)))
You can use:
=SUM(INDEX(A1:G1,N(IF(1,{1,3,5,7}))))
Or with Excel O365:
=SUM(INDEX(A1:G1,{1,3,5,7}))
A bit more of a general solution:
=SUMPRODUCT(MOD(COLUMN(A1:G1),2)*A1:G1)
Or with Excel O365:
=SUM(MOD(COLUMN(A1:G1),2)*A1:G1)
Or even:
=SUM(INDEX(1:1,SEQUENCE(4,,1,2)))
Since you included Google-Sheets, I'll throw in an option using QUERY():
=SUM(QUERY(TRANSPOSE(1:1),"Select * skipping 2"))
Maybe a bit more verbose, but very understandable IMO.
Consider something of the format:
=SUM(A1:G1)-INDEX(A1:G1,2)
The 2 in the formula means remove the 2nd item in the part of the row. (so the 999 is dropped)
So the formula =SUM(BZ10:ZZ10)-INDEX(BZ10:ZZ10,2) drops CA10 from the sum, etc.(a similar formula can be constructed for columns)
google sheets:
=INDEX(MMULT(N(A1:H3), 1*ISODD(SEQUENCE(COLUMNS(A:H)))))
=INDEX(IF(ISODD(COLUMN(A:H)), TRANSPOSE(MMULT(TRANSPOSE(
IFERROR(A1:H3*ISODD(COLUMN(A:H)), 0)), 1^ROW(A1:A3))), ))
Here's the straightforward version of my question:
I want to change the following formula to an array formula...
Original formula (from cell J2):
=if(F4="VM:",G4,J1)
My attempt at converting to an array formula (in cell K1):
=arrayformula(if(row(A:A)=1,G3,if(F:F = "VM:",G:G,indirect("K"&row(A:A)-1))))
This works on rows where F = "VM:", but returns a #REF error on other rows. Function INDIRECT parameter 1 value is 'K0'. It is not a valid cell/range reference.
Thoughts on how to fix this?
The more complex version of my question. i.e. Why am I trying to do this?...
I have a weird spreadsheet with data that should really be in a Wiki.
I want to create filter views for each person so they can easily filter on only their own vendors. The original formula will work, but as more vendors are added, I'd like for the formula to automatically work for those rows as well.
If there's a better way to do this, I'm listening.
I don't exactly understand your needs, but If you want to autopopulate your formula, then you only need this code in desire column in row 4 (you can change this to any other - this will autofill down from this point):
=ArrayFormula(if(F4:F="VM:",G4:G,J1:J))
Is this what you are trying to get?
After clarification:
You need this code in J2 only:
=ArrayFormula(VLOOKUP(ROW(J2:J),
QUERY({F:G,ROW(G:G)},"select Col3,Col2 where Col1='VM:'",1)
,2,1)
)
Works for you?
maybe you just need to hide errors?
=IFERROR(ARRAYFORMULA(IF(ROW(A:A)=1,G3,IF(F:F = "VM:",G:G,INDIRECT("K"&ROW(A:A)-1)))),)
I have a column XXX like this :

I would like to count a cell only if the string in the cell has a length > 1.
How to do that?
I'm trying :
COUNTIF(XXX1:XXX30, LEN(...) > 1)
But what should I write instead of ... ?
Thank you in advance.
For ranges that contain strings, I have used a formula like below, which counts any value that starts with one character (the ?) followed by 0 or more characters (the *). I haven't tested on ranges that contain numbers.
=COUNTIF(range,"=?*")
To do this in one cell, without needing to create a separate column or use arrayformula{}, you can use sumproduct.
=SUMPRODUCT(LEN(XXX1:XXX30)>1)
If you have an array of True/False values then you can use -- to force them to be converted to numeric values like this:
=SUMPRODUCT(--(LEN(XXX1:XXX30)>1))
Credit to #greg who posted this in the comments - I think it is arguably the best answer and should be displayed as such. Sumproduct is a powerful function that can often to be used to get around shortcomings in countif type formulae.
Create another list using an =ARRAYFORMULA(len(XXX1:XXX30)>1) and then do a COUNTIF based on that new list: =countif(XXY1:XXY30,true()).
A simple formula that works for my needs is =ROWS(FILTER(range,LEN(range)>X))
The Google Sheets criteria syntax seems inconsistent, because the expression that works fine with FILTER() gives an erroneous zero result with COUNTIF().
Here's a demo worksheet
Another approach is to use the QUERY function.
This way you can write a simple SQL like statement to achieve this.
For example:
=QUERY(XXX1:XXX30,"SELECT COUNT(X) WHERE X MATCHES '.{1,}'")
To explain the MATCHES criteria:
It is a regex that matches every cell that contains 1 or more characters.
The . operator matches any character.
The {1,} qualifies that you only want to match cells that have at 1 or more characters in them.
Here is a link to another SO question that describes this method.
