I am attempting to display a progress percentage in a single cell based on the choice of "completion" from a data validation list that spans multiple columns and cells.
I have attached a screen grab that will hopefully better explain. I would like the "Overall status cell (B3) to display the percentage of "Completes" that will track overall progress of requirements.
I have narrowed to a "sumif" function based on research and former templates but cannot achieve the desired result. Any help would be excellent. Thank you in advance.
You would want to do a =(COUNTIF(C5:C100, "Completed")/COUNTA(C5:C100)).
Obviously, you might want to change the range.
E2A: =SUMIF adds numbers together. Because you're looking at Text, you'll want to do a =COUNTIF and =COUNTA.

Here's how it looks.
Hi. I'll try to be as specific as possible about this :)
I'm making a Google Sheet page similarly to a game character progression, that will automatically fill up based on data from other sheets: specifically, these "EXP" bars fill up with values based on the hidden cell A5.
For instance, the cells from D5 to BA5 represent LV1.
As the function shows, every time the value in A5 reaches an even number (for LV1, it's all even numbers from 2 to 100), one of the slots will fill up with a number, that with conditional formatting, will change the color of the cell and make it look like an actual exp bar filling up.
I'm using the function =COUNTIF(A5,">=2") and manually changing it to ">=4", ">=6" etc until ">=100" for the first bar. The second bar will have its 50 cells with all even numbers from ">=102" to ">=200".
So, to get to the question: is there an array formula that facilitates the process of filling a great amount of these bars with functions, without changing them all manually? Even automating *some *of this process would be great. Besides it being tedious, it leaves a lot of room for human error.
Thank you in advance to whoever's got an answer.

I haven't tried much as at the moment I am very confused by the vast amount of options array formulas provide. I have 48h of experience in the matter.
I suggest you to use the values of columns and rows here as helpers to do calculations. If you know that every column adds 2 and every row adds 100 you can set a formula like this for the whole range (select the whole range and add just one rule of conditional formatting):
=$A$5>((Column(D5)-3)*2+(Row(D5)-5)*100))
You use $symbol to make A5 steady and D5 value will "move" to each cell for conditional formatting, so you don't have to make an ARRAYFORMULA for this
I am working on a class register where the number of lessons of each subject needs to have a running total. I am struggling to find a way to calculate the total based on the subject name.
The output should read as in the image below where the number of lessons of each subject is shown in the second column. I am working in Google Sheets.
This formula should work for you:
=countif(indirect("B1:B"&row()), indirect("B"&row()))
Place it in the top cell that you want to start counting at and drag down.
Please let me know if you have any issues with this
I have made a bar chart which aggregates my data, but is there any way I can split each bar based on the data it is aggregating - similar to how a stacked bar chart would look?
Here is a bad artists impression (thick blue lines mine). The idea is that it's important to know from looking at the graph if I sold 5 at £1, or 1 at £5.
Ideally this would work even if the price for each item is variable, but that is not essential (eg: if there is a 'hack' with hardcoding Apple = 3, I can live with that.)
I'm also fine inputting helper columns etc, within reason, but I would want to be able to easily continue to add things to the list on the left without having to add new helper columns each time (calculated ones are fine, of course.)
Thanks in advance.
UPDATE: With thanks to Kin Siang below, I ended up implementing a slightly modified version of their solution, which I am posting here for completeness.
I added a very large (but finite) number of helper columns to the right, with a formula in each cell which would look for the nth occurrence of the item in the main list (wrapped in an iferror to make the unused cells blank).
=iferror(index(FILTER($A:$B,$A:$A=$D2),E$1,2))
Theoretically it could run out of space one day, but I have made it suitably large that this should not be an issue. It has the advantage over the other solution that I do not need to sort or otherwise manipulate the input range and can continue trickling in data to the main list and have the chart automatically update.
Yes, it is possible to display the chart in your case, however need some data transpose in order to do so, let me show you the example with dataset
Assuming this is your original data:
First sort the data by alphabet, and enter this formula in new column
=if(G39="",1,if(G40=G39,I39+1,if(G40<>G39,1)))
Next add new column for categorical purpose, by using concatenate function
="Price"&I40
In the transform data for chart purpose, enter this formula to split all price into different row, different column for different product
=sumifs($H$40:$H$47,$G$40:$G$47,$A41,$J$40:$J$47,B$40)
After that i select stack bar chart and ensure the price in under series, in case in 23 will have some problem to set price at series correctly, you can use 33 data create stack bar chart and update the data range again, it will work also
Here is the cute chart you expected, accept if help :)
*When certain fruit has less price record, it is advised to fill in 0, as the data table need in same column (see the orange price 3), although I didnot test if blank
This has been an issue I've lived with for a really long time, without ever really figuring out a reasonable solution. I feel like there must be one, however.
I do a lot of spreadsheet preparation for non-technical users. In my current situation, it involves a selection committee that needs to view candidates' submissions. The problem is, each candidate's responses vary quite a bit in length and size. I am using very basic VLOOKUP's to populate a series of columns so that when a given applicant is chosen from a dropdown menu.
Here is the dilemma, to me it feels like there must be a way to view the entire content of a vlookup result WITHOUT having to change row/column width/height to "fit to data" or some arbitrary huge number. For normal text boxes that get cut off, you can just double click the cell, and it neatly displays the entire text content for you. When I try to do this with a vlookup formula, double-clicking just displays the vlookup formula itself. The only way around this I've found is copying the cell, then doing paste-special and choosing "value only". But doing this destroys the vlookup formula, requiring a quick control-Z to undo afterwards -- something fine for me, but not something I can't reliably ask my end users to know to do.
Put succinctly, is there no other way to display/access the entire text content of a cell that is cutoff, if the content is the result of a v or hlookup formula? A way, that is, without value pasting over the formula, or having to adjust the column width and/or choose 'wrap text' and changing the row height?
I was hoping there might be some way to get the contents of the vlookup to appear in something like a tooltip popup if you hover over the cell? Or some other solution.
move your vlookup formula up a row like if its now in B2 and the output of vlookup is 1 column put this in B1:
={""; ARRAYFORMULA(IFNA(VLOOKUP(...)))}
I created a column of total profit in google sheets and my goal is to filter values which are less then 70% of previous profit value (screenshot so you can understand).
But when I apply this condition to the filter custom formula (here) is not filtering the values which are less then 70% but the values before them, instead it is moved by one row (hopefully you will understand).
It may be it is something easy to fix but i really couldn't find out. Thanks for your future advice and time!
