I have created a Google spreadsheet for our small business which lists all the invoices. I have uploaded a simplified format in
https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1zYrRxDm0ahsjWE8aNquz-shHuNY_Eifl3lXLhIBUeTE/edit?usp=sharing.
1.There can be 1-5 products per invoice.
2.The column G is the total of all the products in that invoice. I want to create a formula for this column.
Presently, my formula is very long and inefficient.
The column (G) calculates number of products with this formula:
=IF(B3<>"",IF(OFFSET(B3,1,0)="",IF(OFFSET(B3,2,0)="",if(OFFSET(B3,3,0)="",if(OFFSET(B3,4,0)="",if(OFFSET(B3,5,0)="",5,5),4),3),2),1),0)
Another column (H) sums up the product values with this: =IF(G3>0,SUM(OFFSET(D3,0,0,G3,1)),"")
Help me rework the G column formula which calculates the number of products. If there's any way I can consolidate G and H that would be great too.
Note: the (I) column is just an alternative to (H) column.
P.S. Please don't flag this as an opinion based question. This is purely a problem solving question.
Since you are ok with the option of a helper column off to the side or hidden, we can do the following.
In column K starting in row 3 I placed this formula:
=IF(A3<>"",A3,K2)
You can actually use whatever column suits you just remember to update the column references in subsequent formulas. It generates a column of invoice numbers with no spaces which allows some other formulas to work much easier for us.
In column L startin in row 3 I placed this formula:
IF(COUNTIF($K$3:K3,K3)=1,COUNTIF(K:K,K3),0)
This gives the same results as column G. The first part of the IF statement is checking to see if the invoice number is the first occurrence of the invoice number. If it is count how many times the invoice number occurs, otherwise display 0.
Now if you want to skip counting how many items there are in an invoice you can use the sumproduct formula as follows:
=IF(A3<>"",SUMPRODUCT(($K$3:$K$12=A3)*$D$3:$D$12),"")
now to account for a variable sized list of invoices we will count the number of invoices and adjust our formula with an offset to return the appropriate ranges as follows:
=IF(A3<>"",SUMPRODUCT((OFFSET($K$3,0,0,COUNT(K:K),1)=A3)*OFFSET($D$3,0,0,COUNT(K:K),1)),"")
Since we are using COUNT(K:K) it is imperative that no numbers be entered in this column other than those generated by our formula.
This treats items inside the brackets as an array, without the formula itself being an array. The whole thing is placed inside an IF statement so that empty cells are displayed instead of zeros in the rows that do not correspond to an invoice number in column A.
now if you want to understand how sumproduct works in this case, its basically generating a an array filled with 1 or 0 representing true or false and then multiplying it by an array of the same size that is filled with all your amounts. So anything multiplied by 0 is 0 and anything multiplied by 1 is amount. The final step of sumproduct is to add up all the values. So you will only get the sum of what ever is true or 1.
If you are able to utilise VBA, you could use a User Defined Function. Insert this code into a new module and call it like you would a normal excel function:
Public Function InvoiceDetail(Invoice As Range, ReturnType As Integer)
Dim varCount As Long
Dim varSheet As Worksheet
Dim varInvoiceID As String
Dim varPartyName As String
Dim varInvoiceTotal As Double
Dim varInvoiceCount As Integer
Set varSheet = ThisWorkbook.Sheets(Invoice.Parent.Name)
If varSheet.Range("A" & Invoice.Row).Value <> "" Then
varInvoiceID = varSheet.Range("A" & Invoice.Row).Value
varPartyName = varSheet.Range("B" & Invoice.Row).Value
For varCount = Invoice.Row To 1000000
If varSheet.Range("D" & varCount).Value = "" Then
Exit For
End If
If varInvoiceID = varSheet.Range("A" & varCount).Value And varPartyName = varSheet.Range("B" & varCount).Value Then
varInvoiceTotal = varInvoiceTotal + varSheet.Range("D" & varCount).Value
varInvoiceCount = varInvoiceCount + 1
ElseIf varSheet.Range("A" & varCount).Value = "" And varSheet.Range("B" & varCount).Value = "" Then
varInvoiceTotal = varInvoiceTotal + varSheet.Range("D" & varCount).Value
varInvoiceCount = varInvoiceCount + 1
Else
Exit For
End If
Next
End If
Set varSheet = Nothing
Select Case ReturnType
Case 1 '// Count Only
InvoiceDetail = varInvoiceCount
Case 2 '// Total Only
InvoiceDetail = varInvoiceTotal
Case 3 '// Total [Count]
InvoiceDetail = varInvoiceTotal & " [" & varInvoiceCount & "]"
Case Else
InvoiceDetail = "Error"
End Select
End Function
This code obviously assumes that your Invoice ID is in Column A, your Party Name is in Column B, and your Amount is in Column D. I've implemented a few options for you too:
=InvoiceDetail(A3,1) returns the number of items on the invoice (as integer)
=InvoiceDetail(A3,2) returns the sum of items on the invoice (as double)
=InvoiceDetail(A3,3) returns both sum and [count] (as string)
I was able to solve this with 2 arrayformulas.
Paste this formula in any corresponding cell, let it be O3:
=TRANSPOSE(SPLIT(JOIN("",ArrayFormula(REPT(FILTER(A3:A12,A3:A12>0)&"-",
len(TRANSPOSE(SPLIT(REGEXREPLACE(JOIN(",",A3:A12)&",","\d+","-"),"-")))))),"-"))
And this formula in cell P3:
=ArrayFormula(if(A3:A>0,SUMIF(O3:O,O3:O,D3:D),""))
My sample file.
To make the first formula work with different ranges:
replace A3:A12 to offset(A3,,,counta(C3:C))

I need to search for a number in multiple columns, then return the information in another cell. Here is a sample table:
I would like to keep the names on the left and the meets on the top. Additional names and meets will be added at a later time.
On a separate tab, I use the function:
=SMALL('100M'!B2:D5,1)
To locate the smallest number in the table. I now need to search the table for the result of the function above and return the name of the person. I know the index/match:
=index('100M'!$A$2:$D$5,match($B$2,'100M'!$D$2:$D$5,0),1)
This will work if I specify the exact column. I need to search through every column to match the Small number, then return the individuals name.
Create a user defined function
Function GetMinName() As String
Dim dataRange As Range
Dim minValue As Double
Dim minValueCell As Range
' Define the data range
Set dataRange = Worksheets("Sheet1").Range("B2:D5")
' Find the minimum value in the data range
minValue = WorksheetFunction.min(dataRange)
' Find the first cell containing minimum value
Set minValueCell = dataRange.Find(minValue, LookIn:=xlValues)
' Return the name in col 1 of the row containing the min value.
GetMinName = Worksheets("Sheet1").Cells(minValueCell.Row, 1)
End Function
This is the formula you put in the cell on the other sheet.
=GetMinName()
Your assistance will be greatly appreciated as I have been struggling with this for a while and couldn't find a solution.

I would love to have in another column a formula to show if in these two columns there are any duplicate values.
Thank you in advance for your help... it's been weeks without success haha
If you have Excel for Windows O365 with the UNIQUE and FILTERXML functions,
and if you mean to consider both columns together as if they were a single piece of data,
then try:
=UNIQUE(FILTERXML("<t><s>" & SUBSTITUTE(TEXTJOIN("</s><s>",TRUE,$A$1:$A$17,$B$1:$B$17),",","</s><s>") & "</s></t>","//s[.=following-sibling::*]"))
If that is not what you want, please clarify your question.
First place your data in columns A and B of an Excel worksheet. Then run this short VBA macro:
Sub report()
Dim rng As Range, r As Range, c As Collection, K As Long
Set rng = Range("A1:B17")
Set c = New Collection
K = 1
For Each r In rng
arr = Split(r.Value, ",")
For Each a In arr
On Error Resume Next
c.Add a, CStr(a)
If Err.Number <> 0 Then
Err.Number = 0
Cells(K, "C").Value = a
K = K + 1
End If
On Error GoTo 0
Next a
Next r
Range("C:C").RemoveDuplicates Columns:=1, Header:=xlNo
Set c = Nothing
End Sub
The duplicates appear in column C
What I have understood from your question: you want to find out if there are any words delimited by commas matching between the cells of two different columns.
For this solution I have used Apps Script. The following commented piece of code will find matching words between the two columns. Moreover, as the function used is an onEdit() trigger, it will automatically detect any changes done in either of these columns and automatically find out new matches or matches that are no longer there and update the value of cell C1:
function onEdit() {
// get current sheet
var sheet = SpreadsheetApp.getActive().getActiveSheet();
// get values from our columns. This returns a 2D array that is flatten into a
// 1 D array to then convert it into a string where its elements are separated
// by a comma and white spaces are removed (so that a matches space + a for example)
var colA = sheet.getRange('A1:A2').getValues().flat().join().replace(/\s/g, '');
var colB = sheet.getRange('B1:B2').getValues().flat().join().replace(/\s/g, '');
// Create two arrays where each element is a word delimited by a comma in their original
// string
var ArrayA = colA.split(',');
var ArrayB = colB.split(',');
// find matches in these two arrays and return these matches
var matchingValues = ArrayA.filter(value => ArrayB.includes(value));
// set the value of C1 to the words that the filter has matched between our two columns
// join is used to display all the matching elements of the match array
sheet.getRange('C1').setValue(matchingValues.join());
}
Demo:
If you do not know how to open the script editor, you can access it on your Google Sheets menu bar under Tools-> Script editor.
Thank you for your time!
I am trying to make a trade journal in Google Spreadsheets.
What I want is the entry price and exit price of the trades,
Which are cell C10 and cell C11 in the screenshot image below.
I just manually typed the correct value - 960 and 2200.
Fortunately, the entry price for C10 is always what's in cell H2,
Because the first input will always be "Buy" in column F.
However I'm stuck finding the exit value.
I want it to find the last non-zero value of column H, only when column F contains "Sell".
What formula can I write?
enter image description here
You can do it with a combination of
INDEX
QUERY
COUNTA
Query for entries in column H where F is equal to "sell" and H is not 0.
From the retrieved subset of data, get the one with the last index (by counting the total amount of indices with COUNTA).
Sample formula:
=INDEX(
QUERY(F2:H, "select H where (F = 'sell' and H <> 0)"),
COUNTA(
QUERY(F2:H, "select H where (F = 'sell' and H <> 0)")
),
1
)
You can also do it without QUERY() (even though it is a really cool function).
=INDEX(H:H,MAX(IF((F:F="Sell")*H:H,ROW(F:F)),-1))
Find last row number where "Sell" appears in Column F and the corresponding value in Column H is non-zero. Since the row number monotonically increases, MAX() always gives us the last occurrence. If the row says "Buy" instead, or the value is 0, then IF() returns -1. We cannot use 0 because INDEX() evidently returns the whole range if we do that.
Use that row number as an index for column H to get the corresponding value. If no valid value was found, we get a #NUM error, which you can handle with IFERROR() if you'd like.
Note: we can't use a VLOOKUP() and approximate match because Action is unsorted.
I'm trying to find the inverse rank within categories using an ArrayFormula. Let's suppose a sheet containing
A B C
---------- -----
1 0.14 2
1 0.26 3
1 0.12 1
2 0.62 2
2 0.43 1
2 0.99 3
Columns A:B are input data, with an unknown number of useful rows filled-in manually. A is the classifier categories, B is the actual measurements.
Column C is the inverse ranking of B values, grouped by A. This can be computed for a single cell, and copied to the rest, with e.g.:
=1+COUNTIFS($B$2:$B,"<" & $B2, $A$2:$A, "=" & $A2)
However, if I try to use ArrayFormula:
=ARRAYFORMULA(1+COUNTIFS($B$2:$B,"<" & $B2:$B, $A$2:$A, "=" & $A2:$A))
It only computes one row, instead of filling all the data range.
A solution using COUNT(FILTER(...)) instead of COUNTIFS fails likewise.
I want to avoid copy/pasting the formula since the rows may grow in the future and forgetting to copy again could cause obscure miscalculations. Hence I would be glad for help with a solution using ArrayFormula.
Thanks.
I don't see a solution with array formulas available in Sheets. Here is an array solution with a custom function, =inverserank(A:B). The function, given below, should be entered in Script Editor (Tools > Script Editor). See Custom Functions in Google Sheets.
function inverserank(arr) {
arr = arr.filter(function(r) {
return r[0] != "";
});
return arr.map(function(r1) {
return arr.reduce(function(rank, r2) {
return rank += (r2[0] == r1[0] && r2[1] < r1[1]);
}, 1);
});
}
Explanation: the double array of values in A:B is
filtered, to get rid of empty rows (where A entry is blank)
mapped, by the function that takes every row r1 and then
reduces the array, counting each row (r2) only if it has the same category and smaller value than r1. It returns the count plus 1, so the smallest element gets rank 1.
No tie-breaking is implemented: for example, if there are two smallest elements, they both get rank 1, and there is no rank 2; the next smallest element gets rank 3.
Well this does give an answer, but I had to go through a fairly complicated manoeuvre to find it:
=ArrayFormula(iferror(VLOOKUP(row(A2:A),{sort({row(A2:A),A2:B},2,1,3,1),row(A2:A)},4,false)-rank(A2:A,A2:A,true),""))
So
Sort cols A and B with their row numbers.
Use a lookup to find where those sorted row numbers now are: their position gives the rank of that row in the original data plus 1 (3,4,2,6,5,7).
Return the new row number.
Subtract the rank obtained just by ranking on column A (1,1,1,4,4,4) to get the rank within each group.
In the particular case where the classifiers (col A) are whole numbers and the measurements (col B) are fractions, you could just add the two columns and use rank:
=ArrayFormula(iferror(rank(A2:A+B2:B,if(A2:A<>"",A2:A+B2:B),true)-rank(A2:A,A2:A,true)+1,""))
My version of an array formula, it works when column A contains text:
=ARRAYFORMULA(RANK(ARRAY_CONSTRAIN(VLOOKUP(A1:A,{UNIQUE(FILTER(A1:A,A1:A<>"")),ROW(INDIRECT("a1:a"&COUNTUNIQUE(A1:A)))},2,)*1000+B1:B,COUNTA(A1:A),1),ARRAY_CONSTRAIN(VLOOKUP(A1:A,{UNIQUE(FILTER(A1:A,A1:A<>"")),ROW(INDIRECT("a1:a"&COUNTUNIQUE(A1:A)))},2,)*1000+B1:B,COUNTA(A1:A),1),1) - COUNTIF(A1:A,"<"&OFFSET(A1,,,COUNTA(A1:A))))
As the title says.
I have a range like this:
A B C
------ ------ ------
duck fish dog
rat duck cat
dog bear bear
What I want is to get a single-column list of all the unique values in the range, and assign them a rating (or tier) according to the number of times they have appeared in the last X columns (more columns are constantly added to the right side).
For example, let's say:
Tier 0: hasn't appeared in the last 2 columns.
Tier 1: has appeared once in the last 2 columns.
Tier 2: has appeared twice in the last 2 columns.
So the results should be:
Name Tier
------ ------
duck 1
rat 0
dog 1
fish 1
bear 2
cat 1
I was able to generate a list of unique values by using:
=ArrayFormula(UNIQUE(TRANSPOSE(SPLIT(CONCATENATE(B2:ZZ9&CHAR(9)),CHAR(9)))))
But it's the second part that I am not sure exactly how to achieve. Can this be done through Google Sheets commands or will I have to resort to scripting?
Sorry, my knowledge is not enough to build an array-formula but I can explain how I get it per cell and then expanded a range from it.
Part 1: count the number of nonempty columns (assuming that if column has something on the second row, then it's filled.
COUNTA( FILTER( Sheet1!$B$2:$Z$2 , NOT( ISBLANK( Sheet1!$B$2:$Z$2 ) ) ) )
Part 2: build a range for the last two filled columns:
OFFSET(Sheet1!$A$2, 0, COUNTA( ... )-1, 99, 2)
Part 3: use COUNTIF to count how many values of "bear" we meet there (here we can pass a cell-reference instead) :
COUNTIF(OFFSET( ... ), "bear")
I built a sample spreadsheet that gets the results, here's the link (I know external links are bad, but there's no other choice to show the reproducible example).
Sheet1 contains the data, Sheet2 contains the counts.
I suggest using both script and the formula.
Normalize the data
Script is the easiest way to normalize data. It will convert your columns into single column data:
/**
* converts columns into one column.
*
* #param {data} input the range.
* #return Column number, Row number, Value.
* #customfunction
*/
function normalizeData(data) {
var normalData = [];
var line = [];
var dataLine = [];
// headers
dataLine.push('Row');
dataLine.push('Column');
dataLine.push('Data');
normalData.push(dataLine);
// write data
for (var i = 0; i < data.length; i++) {
line = data[i];
for (var j = 0; j < line.length; j++) {
dataLine = [];
dataLine.push(i + 1);
dataLine.push(j + 1);
dataLine.push(line[j]);
normalData.push(dataLine);
}
}
return normalData;
}
Test it:
Go to the script editor: Tools → Editor (or in Chrome browser: [Alt → T → E])
After pasting this code into the script editor, use it as simple formula: =normalizeData(data!A2:C4)
You will get the resulting table:
Row Column Data
1 1 duck
1 2 fish
1 3 dog
2 1 rat
2 2 duck
2 3 cat
3 1 dog
3 2 bear
3 3 bear
Then use it to make further calculations. There are a couple of ways to do it. One way is to use extra column with criteria, in column D paste this formula:
=ARRAYFORMULA((B2:B>1)*1)
it will check if column number is bigger then 1 and return ones and zeros.
Then make simple query formula:
=QUERY({A:D},"select Col3, sum(Col4) where Col1 > 0 group by Col3")
and get the desired output.
