I'm not really good with Java, even less with Sheets and i need help for this :
I want to create a list of average win of players using a list with several other players :
Example (I want to get the average on the right):
Conceptually this would be "for each player, see if the player match and if he won (ratio 1:1) then continue until there is no more game (or the end of the array)".
It's for a team game and we use Google Sheets a lot for it; I wanted some stats too.
JavaScript != Java.
Additionally, there's no JavaScript involved here if you're just using Sheets.
=AVERAGE(COUNTIF(A2:A7, "Win")/COUNTA(A2:A7))
Steps for understanding:
COUNTIF all cells in a range containing the text "Win".
COUNTA all cells in the same range, regardless of what they contain.
Calculate the AVERAGE of those two values using the built-in function.
A2:A7 is just an example and should be replaced with whatever range your RESULT column takes up.

I have been struggling for a few days with this problem. Anyone kind enough to show some interested will be highly appreciated.
I have the table shown below.
Suppose columns represent months. I would like to know up to which months' orders have been used up.
I have tried criteria with sums of demand up to that point but I cannot seem to use criteria with the sum of total demand and an array of sums of "total units ordered".
F.e. =COUNTIF(SUM($S$2:($S$2:S$2))<SUM($S$1:S$1) is not possible.
I have tried using an index-match combo but i would have to deduct the previous max sum of "total units ordered" that meets the condition up to the previous cell.
Is that possible without using vba?
Thanks in advance for your interest and time spent.
You can use a standard method of getting running totals using Sumif, combined with Match:
=ArrayFormula(match(sumif(column(S1:Z1),"<="&column(S1:Z1),S1:Z1),sumif(column(S2:Z2),"<"&column(S2:Z2),S2:Z2))-1)
I put rows 3 and 4 in just as a check of my calculations and to show the results of the two Sumifs evaluations - they aren't necessary.
You may wish to specify what should happen if the demands add up to exactly 3000, for example. The above formula would actually go to the next month, so may need some refinement if that is not what you want.
I have the following function
=IF(RAND()<0.25,1,0)
RAND() returns any value between 0 to 1 in decimal format and the idea is that an item has a 25% chance of getting a 1. If it was less than 0.25 the rand() then its a hit and gets a 1 otherwise a 0. Now lets say I need to do this 100 times and add up the sum of all the '1's that were created, which in this case will average to around 25 for 25%. How do I do this in Google Spreadsheets?
Basically looking for a way to repeat a function n'th amount of times and sum the results.
I have looked around everywhere (youtube, google forums) and have not found any solutions.
I may as well put this as an answer because it tries to address the broader question of whether you can repeat a function (say) 100 times. The answer is, yes if the function is compatible with an array formula. Rand can't be used in this way because it doesn't take any arguments (neither do some other functions like countifs for some reason). But you could get round it by using Randbetween instead and providing it with 100 array elements. These are multiplied by zero so don't actually affect the answer, but Google Sheets still evaluates the function 100 times:
ArrayFormula(sum(if(randbetween(0,A1:A100*0+99)<25,1,0)))
or
=Sumproduct(if(randbetween(0,A1:A100*0+99)<25,1,0))
The result is each time you force this to re-calculate (by changing something in the range A1:A100 or by setting File -> Spreadsheet Settings -> (Tab) Calculation -> Recalculation to every minute) it will give an answer around 25.
To make it more resilient (allow any value in A1:A100 including error values) could try
=ArrayFormula(sum(if(randbetween(0,iferror(A1:A100/0,0)+99)<25,1,0)))
or
=Sumproduct(if(randbetween(0,iferror(A1:A100/0,0)+99)<25,1,0))
I don't know why I didn't do this in the first place
=ArrayFormula(sum(if(randbetween(0,row(A1:A100)*0+99)<25,1,0)))
then this easily allows for a variable range
=ArrayFormula(sum(if(randbetween(0,row(indirect("A1:A"&H1))*0+99)<25,1,0)))
where the number in H1 doesn't have to be limited to the number of rows in the sheet.
Okay so I found a very convoluted answer. If someone finds a better please let me know.
The first thing as the user |'-'| commented was to create a range on separate sheet.
Since I know that I will not be looking up more than 200 values at once I created my range to be 200 long of this formula.
=IF(RAND()<0.25,1,0)
This will create the initial list of random values.
The next step is you need to generate a randomizer seed. Which is basically a random number between the range you created. You can do this with
=RANDBETWEEN(1,200)
This should be on the same column as what you are trying to sum up later.
Next you want to create a dynamic string that you can access via arrayFormula later.
="Randomizer!B"&B12&":B"&B12+B3
In my case I had the 200 random numbers on a sheet called randomizer. Notice the &, this is how you connect strings. In my example B12 is the reference to the =RANDBETWEEN(1,200), and B3 is how many times I want the randomness to occur. It can be any value as long as it's less than the randomizer seed by the amount of times you want it to be random.
Finally refer to this string using, =SUM(ARRAYFORMULA(INDIRECT(B13))) , indirect lets you refer to a string as a cell and this is how I was able to create a dynamic range to calculate from.
I will say the advantage of this method is its super fast to calculate since the random numbers have been pre-computed.
The idea is that it will keep creating random ranges from the precomputed random numbers you created, and then summing those ranges, essentially calculating random numbers n'th amount of times.
Hope this helps someone.
I am attempting to make a Google Sheet that has a column for a rate and a value of that rate. Each night I am adding a new value to the bottom of this list so I want it to continue as an infinite list. What this sheet should do is look down the list of rates, if the rate matches a predefined rate, it should add the corresponding value to the total for that rate. I have four common rates that occur in no particular order and with some given value. I would like to total the values for each of those rates and give them in the totals section so each rate can be easily referenced.
Is there a way to do this using Google Sheets built-in commands? Pseudocode would be something like IF(A2:A = rate, add value in B to total). I know to make an infinite reading of a column by A2:A, but I don't know how to check each value as it goes through that column. I have attached a test spreadsheet with some sample values and the output that should be given by the formula. Thank you in advance for your help.

I managed to discover my own answer using the SUMIF statement. My code for the rate of .75 is ""=SUMIF(A2:A,"=.75",B2:B)"". I ran into some more trouble with the section for a different rate because I was having trouble saying not equal to .75 or 1 or 1.5 or 1.75. I solved this problem by completely bypassing it and adding the all the values and subtracting away the values already added. I would still like to know how to give the list of "ors" if someone could shed some light on this. But I now have a working solution regardless. I have updated the test sheet to show the solution.
So here is the situation. I have one spreadsheet in Google sheets that has a column for the names of TV stations. I have a second column that lists airing times for ads. This is the format the date and times are in.
14-12-22 08:06:05
I have a second sheet that has the same column for TV station names. I also have a column that has a time range in the format
09:00-16:00
Then there is a third column for Rate.
What I am trying to do is add a Rate column to the first spreadsheet and populate that my matching up the TV Station name and the time range on the second sheet. My first thought was a VLOOKUP but I'm trying to match 2 conditions with the second one being a bit tricky since I am using an exact time vs a time range.
Any ideas?
As it is permitted to parse the time intervals I would recommend doing so (say with something like =SPLIT(A1,"-") since the results might then be arranged into a compact matrix such as shown in the image in ColumnsF:J. The differences in the rates for different stations at different times are readily apparent.
I have left the above in the same sheet as one with a representation of your other data since I (am lazy and) don't know the relevant sheet names anyway - but prefix the relevant sheet name (and !) to the column references in the formula that are later in the alphabet than C:
=vlookup(A2,F:J,match(C2,$G$1:$J$1,1)+1,0)
With extraction of the time element (into ColumnC) of your data (from ColumnA) the formula attempts to find the time from C in the first row, but accepts an inexact comparison by defaulting to the next lower value where there is no exact match. Once found, the MATCH() function returns the position of the match relative to the start of the range searched.
This is then used in a VLOOKUP() function to determine how far across to return the result of a search for the exact A column value in ColumnF.
Details of the syntax of the functions may be found via Help > Function list.
I am using a combination of Google Forms and Google Spreadsheets for data entry and interpretation for scouting in a robotics competition (FRC). The user fills out a form for each match with the data from 6 different teams. That data is put into a spreadsheet by the form, and the sheet of data is used by other sheets for interpretation, and it outputs different stats.
One of the sheets is designed to show the progression of the team's stats over the course of their 9-10 matches. I want it to show the values for a certain stat in the same order as the matches that they played (Match 1: 10 points; Match 2: 15 points; etc.). The problem is that there are upwards of 40 teams, so teams don't play back-to-back. I am trying to create a function that searches for the nth occurrence, by row, in the 6 columns that contain team numbers. That function would then use that row to return a value for a stat by that team from that match.
My spreadsheet is here. The sheet of raw data is called "Games", and the sheet containing the progression data is called "Over Time". Within the "Games" sheet, each line is a match, and there is data for each of the 6 teams in each line. Each team gets a line on the "Over Time" sheet, and each stat would take up about 10 columns.
The function would search for the nth time (as specified by the number in row 2) that the team number (as specified in column A) occurs. It would then search that row number for the team number and return the value in the column specified by the function (eg. If the team number occurs in column C, return the value in column E of the same row.). In the sheet "Averages", I used mainly SUMIF and COUNTIF functions to return averages for each stat, but I can't figure out how to use the array functions that would be necessary for the first step of this function. I would prefer to avoid using hidden columns and rows, as that just gets messy, so it would be great if the entire function is in one cell. I would also prefer it to be a function, as opposed to a script.
This solution uses one function per row (not one function for the entire table). In 'Over Time'!B3:
=ArrayFormula(SPLIT(CONCATENATE(REPT('Games'!E$2:BW&CHAR(9);('Games'!C$2:BU=A3)*(MOD(COLUMN('Games'!C$2:BU$2);14)=3)));CHAR(9)))
which can be filled down to B8.
If it is absolutely necessary to have one formula for the entire table, then I'm sure it could be done, but it will be horribly complex. Further, as it is, these "concatenate then split" type formulae (which you need to resort to when the data isn't nicely vertical) are quite inefficient, depending on how big your source data gets. That may not be an issue in your case, but for big source data sets, I would prefer a custom function for performanc ein this case.
