I would like to plot sparklines (barchart with the value to show in B-row and the max-value in die C-row: see linked file) in every cell from A2 to A5 using ony one arrayformula (=ARRAYFORMULA( ...) in A2 which can plot spakrlines in every cell from A2 to A5.
Link to file: sparkline arrayformula
Thx for any help,
Gerd
SPARKLINE does not work with arrayformula. I think the best you can do is put this in A2 and drag it down past A5. It will pick up new data.
=iferror(SPARKLINE(B2,{"charttype","bar";"max",C2}),"")
Hmm
Make a blank column A:A.
=ARRAYFORMULA(IF(ISBLANK($A$1:$A),"", SPARKLINE({0,1},{"color","#ddd"})))

How would I do it so if I had a list of numbers, how could I get every number below A1 to be minuses from A1 and put next to that cell?
Paste this in B2 or see the Example Sheet
=ArrayFormula(IF(A2:A="",,A2:A-$A$1))
What about this simple formula in A2 cell?
=INDEX(A1+B2:B6)
how can I subtract cells A2 from A1 without directly using cell addresses? I would like to write A2 as a cell -1 column away and A1 as a cell -1 column away and -1 row away.

Thanks in advance <3
You can make use of the offset function on sheets.
An example formula based on your example would be: =(OFFSET(B2,0,-1)-OFFSET(B2,-1,-1))
You can use the INDIRECT function along with ADDRESS, ROW and COLUMN
=INDIRECT(ADDRESS(ROW(),COLUMN()-1))-INDIRECT(ADDRESS(ROW()-1,COLUMN()-1))
You can also use Indirect with RC notation as below:
=indirect("RC[-1]",false)-indirect("R[-1]C[-1]",false)
I'm working in a Google Sheets document that has two sheets, Sheet1 and Sheet2. Sheet2 has a cell, A3, with the formula =Sheet1!A3. This pattern holds throughout the column – e.g. A4 in Sheet2 has formula =Sheet1!A4, etc. Without getting into too much detail of the why, essentially the A column in Sheet1 is to be reflected in the A column of Sheet2. My desire is that when Sheet1 is updated, those changes will be reflected in Sheet2.
The problem is that when I add/delete entries into/from column A in Sheet1, Google Sheets automatically updates the formulas in Sheet2 in a way I don't want it to. For example, say I insert a cell above A3 in Sheet1, so that there is now new information in A3 and the previous A3 is now shifted down to A4. When I check out Sheet2 I want the new A3 from Sheet1 to be reflected in Sheet2's A3. However, the formula in Sheet2's A3 cell has now been updated to =Sheet1!A4 (so that Sheet2's A3 still shows the information from Sheet1's original A3), and all subsequent cells have been shifted by one as well. I can see a reason for this auto-updating functionality, but it is a hinderance in this case.
In looking up a solution, I've found out about absolute reference, i.e. changing the formula in A3 to =Sheet1!$A$3, but this unfortunately does not help in my case.
Is there any way to prevent this autoupdating of the cell reference?
On Sheet2 use INDIRECT. Example
Add the following formula to Sheet2!A1
=INDIRECT("Sheet1!A:A")
The above will not be "affected" by row/column changes made into Sheet1 because it doesn't make a direct reference to rows/columns on Sheet1.
Non-volatile equivalent of INDIRECT could be INDEX.
=index(Sheet1!a:a, 3)
Unfortunately, filling down for index(Sheet1!a:a, 4), etc is difficult if not impossible. You could represent the 3 with a row reference to a worksheet that will never have rows deleted; e.g. row(sheet2!b3). That shouldn't change unless you add/delete rows on sheet2 while allowing add/delete rows on sheet1.
Hi so I'm trying to make a spreadsheet in Google Sheets that takes two numbers and subtracts them and then does it in the next row .
So example the formula in C1 would be "subtract(A1, B1)" in the first row. But then in the next row I would like it to change to "subtract(A2, B2)" and output in C2.
(Without having to go in each C cell and change the formula of course)
So how do I do that and also how do I apply a formula to multiple cells of a row (C1,C2,C3,C4,C5, etc....)
Just put =MINUS(A1,B1) into C1 and then copy it and paste it in the remain rows of column C and the spreadsheet automatically adjusts the row numbers for you.
#Cooper's Answer above is perfect. I'm just giving a alternative here using array formulas, because it's easy.
Put this in D2
=ARRAYFORMULA(MINUS ( B2:B, MULTIPLY( 2.5, QUOTIENT(C2:C,15))))
Struggling like hell with this one but bet it's so simple!
Can do it in Libre but not in Google :-(
What I want to do is:
I have a range of cells with numbers in, ranges B8 to F20 and another set of cells in range B2 to F2
If a number in cell range B8 to F20 is same as one in range B2 to F2 I want to highlight the cell in range B8 to F20
Any help appreciated, I'm pulling my hair out :-)
Try custom formula:
Set custom formula in cell B2
=countif($B8:$F20,B2)
Apply to range B2:F2
Try selecting cells B8:F20 and click Format > Conditional formatting > Custom formula is:
=arrayformula(sum(n(value(B8)=arrayformula(value({$B$2:$F$2})))))
