I have 2 columns of account numbers. The first column has far more numbers than the second column. I need to know if the numbers in column 1 show up anywhere in column two.
Try
=VLOOKUP(A1,B:B,1,0)
in a third column, copied down to all rows populated in ColumnA.

I am currently working with Google Forms and want to rearrange the way the responses are being displayed on the "Response Sheet". The only way I can think of doing this is by importing or moving the data to another sheet that would select and transpose certain columns if Column A contains key value.
This is what I'm seeing as part of the input and would like to see as the output if Column A Contains certain text:

Thank you in advance for your help!
O.K.
I rewrite headings a2:e2,
I take whole first five columns without headings e3:e6
I display content of columns A,B,F,G,H for all the rows that have 'A1' in column 1
I take tables built in point 1 and 2 together and sort them by first column
My solution is here:
https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1n7Ppd8v75mb3qrnJz_Jh_b4HNaj4i56X9wRGnz0l6i8/copy
={A2:E2;
sort({A3:E6;
query(A3:H6,"select A,B,F,G,H where A ='A1'",0)})
}
I just wanted a simple way to number columns or rows in a Google Sheet, and most answers I've found offer many options that are far more complicated than I needed them to be.
Example: I want to number every column in the active sheet, starting with 1 for Column A and counting up by 1, regardless of the content of any other cells on the sheet and if I add columns to the sheet later, I want them to automatically update with the correct column numbers.
Another way is to use SEQUENCE.
So putting =SEQUENCE(99) in A1 would number the first 99 rows, from 1 to 99.
To number columns, just rotate that array, with TRANSPOSE.
So if A1 held =TRANSPOSE(SEQUENCE(26))
that would number columns A to Z with the numbers 1 to 26.
If you want to number both columns and rows,try:
in A1: =SEQUENCE(999), and
in B1: =TRANSPOSE(SEQUENCE(25,1,2))
I realise that this is numbering a specific number of rows, or columns, but I often find that very useful. You could modify this to number all columns or rows by adding some count to determine the total number of rows or columns, and using that in place of the first parameter for the SEQUENCE function.
The simplest way I've found to do this is by putting either of the following formulas in A1:
For numbering rows: =ArrayFormula(ROW(A:A))
And for columns: =ArrayFormula(COLUMN(1:1))
After putting the formula in A1, I'll usually hide the column or row the formula is in so I don't accidentally change or delete it.
If I want the counting to start at 1 on the 2nd, 3rd, or 4th row or column, then adding a -1,-2, or -3 respectively to the end of the formula gets that done.
For example: To number columns starting with 1 in Column C, the formula I put in A1 is =ArrayFormula(COLUMN(1:1)-2).
This may be way more basic than most people on this site are generally looking for, but for some reason it took me an unexpectedly long time to find it/ figure it out, so I thought maybe someone else would find it useful in the future.
I have sheet with 2 columns where data in first column includes dates and 2nd column includes numbers. I want to "scan" down the row of the first column and count the number of unique values, and then count if those unique values have value on the 2nd column. Hope you can help!
To count the number of unique dates that have data in 'Daily Volume', try
=countunique(filter(A2:A, len(B2:B)))
Change range to suit.
I have a spreadsheet that I want to calculate the average of the first three values in a row...
For example:
Column A Column B Column C Column D
Row 1 7/1/2017 6/1/2017 5/1/2017
Row 2 $934 $392 $214
So my formula is
=average($A$2:$C$2)
This works fine, until I add a new column to the left of Column A to add the newest month's data which now looks like this:
Column A Column B Column C Column D
Row 1 7/1/2017 6/1/2017 5/1/2017
Row 2 $934 $392 $214
The issue is that spreadsheet automatically changes the formula to
=average($B$2:$D$2)
when what I really want is to retain the original formula so it will continue to give the the average of the most recent three months of data.
Here is a link to a spreadsheet so you can see what is happening, sheet one is before added column, and sheet two is after adding column.

How can I do this? Thanks!
I suggest a sensible place to put such a formula is in ColumnA (having made room for it!) hence:
=average(OFFSET(A2,,1,1,3))
I have 2 columns on a Google Spreadsheets file. First column is text and the second column is numbers (from 1 to 5, think as categories).
I would like to have a 3rd column from the words in the first row depending on the category. So I would like to have all the words that are "marked" "3" on 2nd column to be listed in column 3.
How can I do this?
Please try:
=query(A:B,"Select A where B=3")
