how can I format a cell in google spreadsheets - google-sheets

I have a spreadsheet that have a column containing github issue numbers, how can I make all the fields in that column a url to the issue on github.
lets say https://github.com/myaccount/myrepo/issues/ is where the issues exist, I want to make all those fields link to "https://github.com/myaccount/myrepo/issues/{existing-issue-nb-here}"
e.g: in line 54, column B(github issue #) should be a hyperlink to https://github.com/myaccount/myrepo/issues/652

If you never overwrite the first row of the column with the links you can use the HYPERLINK formula inside of an array formula
={"github issue #";
ARRAYFORMULA(IF(LEN(B2:B),
HYPERLINK("https://github.com/myacco‌​unt/myrepo/i‌​ssues/" & B2:B,
B2:B), ""))}
If you are importing / copy pasting Column B and want to replace it with a link you need to do that with a script that, for every cell does
setFormula("=HYPERLINK(CONCATENATE(https://github.com/myacco‌​unt/myrepo/i‌​ssues/ ,bugId), bugId)")
Where bug ID is either read from the row in column B or in the data you retrieved via script.

Query and ImportRange with Dynamic Values

I have 2 sheets which are connected.
Sheet-1: Has ID column and Status column (Status field is manually updated by the team)
Sheet-2: Has ID column and Status column (+ many other fields)
Requirement: Status column in Sheet 2 to be updated from Sheet-1 if ID column in sheet-2 = ID column in Sheet-1
I wrote a Query and ImportRange, but I could find Query working only when I compare it against a static value (for e.g. Yes). What I want is it to check against the value in ID column from both the sheets and import only for rows that match.
=QUERY(IMPORTRANGE("1ZkPaYb1IIIkcbVerdmZ-Ru1vxFu1YMWj74QNQj2jles", "Ops Action Sheet!B2:B10000"),"select Col2 where Col1 = 'Yes'")
This doesn't directly answer your question about using QUERY, but I believe that that function might not be the best tool for what you're trying to do.
I write below a solution using the alternative function VLOOKUP.
I am assuming here that by "Sheet-1" and "Sheet-2", you actually mean entirely different spreadsheets, judging by your use of IMPORTRANGE.
If you don't mind having a copy of Sheet-1's contents living within Sheet-2, here is what you can do:
On a new sheet (tab) in Sheet-2, copy this function (fill in sheet_1_url):
=IMPORTRANGE("sheet_1_url", "Ops Action Sheet!$A:$B")
You should see a copy of the data from Sheet-1 in that tab. You can hide this tab or protect it if you wish.
On your main data tab within Sheet-2, copy this formula in your Status column (assuming that your ID is in A2:
=IFERROR(VLOOKUP($A2,range_from_step_1,2,),)
Copy that formula down as much as you need.
However, if you don't want to have a copy of Sheet-1's data in Sheet-2 for whatever reason, you can simply skip steps 1-2 above, going straight to step 3, with the following formula in Sheet-2:
=IFERROR(VLOOKUP($A2,IMPORTRANGE("sheet_1_url", "Ops Action Sheet!$A:$B"),2,),)
Not that I recommend it, since you'd technically be importing your data virtually within the formula N number of times, which will be a huge performance hit.
You can see the references for the formulas used above here:
IMPORTRANGE
VLOOKUP
IFERROR
edit to reflect and paste in spreadsheet 2:
=ARRAYFORMULA(IFERROR(VLOOKUP(A2:A, IMPORTRANGE("ID", "Sheet!A:C"), {2, 3}, 0)))
A2:A - column of IDs in spreadsheet 2
Sheet!A:C - column A of this range hosts IDs
{2, 3} - brings column B and C from spreadsheet 1 into spreadsheet 2

Count the Occurences of a text for the whole spreadsheet

I have a spreadsheet where in every column I have a list of names. They can repeat, and whats even worse - cells can contain some additional text (apart from the name).
What I want to do is count the occurrences of the name in the whole spreadsheet (only looking at the name, omitting the potential additional text). Is Possible?
I tried the formula =UNIQUE, but it does not work vertically (I'm working with Google Sheets)
Example of a document https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1STtJr0yisSeuv2w8_JVgQABAL5EDzI8aFmH8Vp2cOko/edit?usp=sharing
You can use Countif, Arrayformula, and Regexreplace to accomplish this task
Assuming you have the data range from A2:E12 and the prefilled unique names starting from A14
Formula:
=countif(ARRAYFORMULA(regexreplace($A$2:$E$12,".\(.*","")),A14)
Copy the formula until the last row
Hope it helps!
I'm sure that others will provide a much more elegant solution but this takes the data as presented in the spreadsheet and can be implemented in just a few minutes.
Paste this formula in Cell F3
=FILTER({A3:A13;B3:B6;C3:C5;D3:D5;E3:E5;A18:A21;B18:B20;C18:C20;D18:D20;E18:E19}, LEN({A3:A13;B3:B6;C3:C5;D3:D5;E3:E5;A18:A21;B18:B20;C18:C20;D18:D20;E18:E19}))
This creates a single column list compiled from the various smaller lists.
Highlight the range of names created in Column F (based on the test data = F3:F41), click Copy,
Highlight cell G3, click Paste special (Paste Values only) - this converts the formula to a list for entries.
Paste this formula in Cell H3 - this removes any data in brackets
=left(G3,iferror(search(" (",G3)-1,len(G3)))
Copy the formula down as many rows as there is data in Column G
Paste this formula in cell I3 - this lists the unique names
=unique(H3:H41)
Paste this formula in cell J3 and copy down as many rows as there is data in Column I - this counts the number of instances of each unique name in the master list.
=COUNTIF(H:H, I3)

Google Sheets - Use current content of cell in formula

I need to generate hundreds of unique products into a sheet with currently only 14 products. In the 'handle' column if you add a random number to the name/string this will be enough to generate a new product in a Shopify database once you reimport the CSV into the database.
To generate a random product 'handle' I add this formula:
=JOIN("-","dress",RANDBETWEEN(1,1000) )
But I don't want to manually type the string portion 'dress' into the formula. Is there a function to grab the current contents of the cell
try simple:
=JOIN("-", A1, RANDBETWEEN(1, 1000))
where A1 = "dress"
for array/range do it like this:
=ARRAYFORMULA(A1:A10&"-"&RANDBETWEEN(ROW(A1:A10), 1000))
I am not entirely clear of your requirement but suggest an alternative to your formula:
=A1&"-"&B1
assuming "dress" is in A1 (and similar values below it) and that B1 is populated with:
=randbetween(1,1000)
and that is copied down to suit before the whole column is copied and Paste special, Paste values only over the top. This would facilitate the removal of duplicates (if desired) and provide an audit trail while reducing processing requirements.

How to create a list in a new column when data in another column is > ..% with the conditional formatting included?

I have a Google Sheets project with a table in there. The cells percentages change every now and then (external API kind of add-on) and I would like the column to be checked if a certain percentage is met. If it is, the corresponding name in column A should be copied in column D let's say. So example:
A formula something like: if a value of column C > 5%, copy the corresponding name in column A to a new column D. But the main thing is that it shifts everything up so there are no gaps. If I refresh the data, it should create the list again with no gaps and remove the former data that doesn't meet the requirements anymore. Please help!
P.S. I would also like the background color of column C (conditional) to copy to the new column
use QUERY
=QUERY(A2:A, "where A > 0.05")
and then all you need to do is select Greater then in CF rules:

Google sheet formula that finds row name and returns column headers based on marked cells

I'm trying to return the column headers for a row that is marked with an x. The row is selected from a name in the left column. I'm stuck here.
I can illustrate what I want to do by showing these images:
Start table
The result I want is this:
Outputs of the possibilities for the first sheet
I have put more information in my Example Sheet.
Link to editable example sheet
This formula should create a table (with a single formula) with the months in one column and the headers in the second column.
=ArrayFormula({A4:A15\ substitute(transpose(query(transpose(if(B4:G15="x";B3:G3&char(10);));;rows(A4:A15)));" ";)})
If you'd want to 'lookup' the months you manually type in you can wrap the above in a vlookup. Example:
=ArrayFormula(if(len(L4:L); vlookup(L4:L; {A4:A15\ substitute(transpose(query(transpose(if(B4:G15="x";B3:G3&char(10);));;rows(A4:A15)));" ";)}; 2; 0);))
You can check out both formulas in the copy of the sheet I've made in the spreadsheet you shared.
