Copy cell from every nth row - google-sheets

I'd like to grab the names in every person's name from this google spreadsheet and put it into a new column. The names will be every nth row.


Alternatively, also try:
=filter(A2:A, mod(row(A2:A)+1,3)=0)


In B2 please try:
=offset(A$1,3*(row()-1)-2,)
As the formula is copied down the offset row relative to A1 increases by three, with no column offset. In the second (starting row) 3*(2-1)-2 is 1 so the A2 value is returned. In the second output row 3*(3-1)-2 returns 4, so the A5 value is returned, and so on.

Conditional Formatting (Google sheet)

I am trying to format a group of cells but I need a custom formula for when the value of a cell is greater than the value of the cell in its column of a specific row it needs to be highlighted
(The highlighted value reference point in the group is in the same row)
Please help 😞
I tried to highlight by using the default option on each column but there are way too many rows

I don't have your exact spreadsheet. Let's say your range goes from A1:Z, and that the column of reference is column E (from each row). Then you can set this formula to:
=A1 > $E1
Change A1 to the first cell of your range and $E1 with the first corresponding column of the first row of the rage (if you start row 3, then put $E3 -- and change the letter ;) )
Let me know if this works for you!

How can I use arrayformula so I got the cell value that used last time?

I have a table of content on google sheet where word list on column B and image name on column C. On column C image name is not given for every cell. Now I need to use ARRAYFORMULA on Cell D1 where it will give the output (Word name and Image Name) on Column D if Row of Column A is not empty. If you look at the attached screenshot, for some Word there is no image name given on column C. In this case I need the image name that used last time.
For example: On Row 17 for WORD 4 there is no image name given. So, in this case the image name will be Image 2 from cell C12 that used previously for WORD 3. I tried it in many different ways but never able to do it with ARRAYFORMULA. The only solution I am using right now is using formula for every row which is not a good solution. I need to do it with ARRAYFORMULA. I don't want to do it with google script.

I have added a sheet ("Erik Help") with the following formula in D1:
=ArrayFormula({"Header";IF(A2:A="",,B2:B&" : "&VLOOKUP(ROW(A2:A),FILTER({ROW(A2:A),C2:C},C2:C<>""),2,TRUE))})
This one array formula creates a header and then fills the entire column with results.
You can change "Header" to whatever you like.
IF(A2:A="",, just leaves D2:D null if nothing is in that row of Col A.
Otherwise, whatever is in B2:B is concatenated with a space-colon-space and then a VLOOKUP of all rows within a FILTERed virtual array that contains only rows and Col-C data where Col C is not blank. Because TRUE is chosen as the final parameter, all rows will "look backward" to the last row where Col C did contain data and return that data as the final piece to be concatenated.

=if(isnumber(SEARCH("WORD",B2,1)),join(" : ",B2, indirect(ARRAYFORMULA(address(IFNA(match(2,1/($C$2:$C2<>"")))+1,COLUMN(C2))))),"")
past this formula in D1 cell and drag it ...

How to count rows between 2 non empty cells with their intermediary empty cells in Google Sheets?

I'm trying to count each rows of empty cells between two non-empy cells and adding the upper non empty-cell count (or the lower non-empty cells count) to the result when the empty cells/rows numbers are variable and irregular in this manner:
A1 Empty
A2 Non-empty
A3 Empty
A4 Empty
A5 Empty
A6 Empty
A7 Non-empty
(with A2 to A5 being irregular — could be any number of intermediary empty rows/cells — i.e. 10, 2, 30, 5, etc., and variable — could be located in any location within Column A)
The result should return as follow:
=IFS(
AND(A2="",A3=""),"",
AND(A2="",A3<>""),"",
AND(A2<>"",A3<>""),ROWS(A2),
AND(A2<>"",A3=""),ROWS(A2:UP TO NEXT NON-EMPTY ROW BENEATH (NOT COMPRISED (or minus the next non-empty row(-1)))
How do we program Google Sheets to count rows "UP TO NEXT NON-EMPTY ROW BENEATH (NOT COMPRISED (or minus the next ono empty row(-1)) when the emppty intermediary rows' count is variable/unknown for each occurence and irregular/can be any number of intremediary rows?
I have this data as example:
So far, I've come up with this partial solution:
=IFS(AND(A2="",A3=""),"", AND(A2="",A3<>""),"", AND(A2<>"",A3<>""),ROWS(A2), AND(A2<>"",A3=""),ROWS(A2:UP TO NEXT NON-EMPTY ROW BENEATH (NOT COMPRISED (or minus the next non-empty row(-1)))))
The expected result should return as follows:

Well I think you can do it a bit more elegantly using a reverse lookup. The idea is to sort the data on descending order of row number, then use a match with -1 as the last parameter, which is equivalent to searching from the end of the data for the next non-blank.
=ArrayFormula(iferror(if(A2:A="","",rows(A2:A)+2-match(row(A2:A)+1,
query(SORT({IF(A2:A<>"",row(A2:A),""),row(A2:A)},2,false),"select Col1"),-1)-row(A2:A)),1))
If you wanted to keep it simple and just use a pull-down formula, an ordinary match is enough:
=ArrayFormula(iferror(if(A2="","",match(true,A3:A<>"",0)),1))
(it still has to be entered as an array formula because A3:A<>"" is an array of True and False)

I found a solution with a Monster formula but with simple iterative logics, and up to 50 intermediary blanks (for more only need to make the formula larger).
What I was lookind for was simply to print the cells/rows count of intermediary empty cells between 2 non-empty cells + adding to the count either the 1st non-empty cell or the last non-empty cell.
So for example if cell A1 and cell A9 have 8 empty cells between them, then return 8+1 (or 10-1).
The logics used is simple:
probe how many possible empty cells there can be between each 2 non-empty cells counting the 1st non-empty as well within column A (in the formula below the possibility is up to 50 empty cells), and for each case return the intermediary rows -1 (the last row).
The formula:
=IFS(AND(A1="",A2=""),"",AND(A1="",A2<>""),"",AND(A1<>"",A2<>""),ROWS(A1),AND(A1<>"",A2="",A3<>""),ROWS(A1:A3)-1,AND(A1<>"",A2="",A3="",A4<>""),ROWS(A1:A4)-1,AND(A1<>"",A2="",A3="",A4="",A5<>""),ROWS(A1:A5)-1,AND(A1<>"",A2="",A3="",A4="",A5="",A6<>""),ROWS(A1:A6)-1,AND(A1<>"",A2="",A3="",A4="",A5="",A6="",A7<>""),ROWS(A1:A7)-1,AND(A1<>"",A2="",A3="",A4="",A5="",A6="",A7="",A8<>""),ROWS(A1:A8)-1,AND(A1<>"",A2="",A3="",A4="",A5="",A6="",A7="",A8="",A9<>""),ROWS(A1:A9)-1,AND(A1<>"",A2="",A3="",A4="",A5="",A6="",A7="",A8="",A9="",A10<>""),ROWS(A1:A10)-1,AND(A1<>"",A2="",A3="",A4="",A5="",A6="",A7="",A8="",A9="",A10="",A11<>""),ROWS(A1:A11)-1,AND(A1<>"",A2="",A3="",A4="",A5="",A6="",A7="",A8="",A9="",A10="",A11="",A12<>""),ROWS(A1:A12)-1,AND(A1<>"",A2="",A3="",A4="",A5="",A6="",A7="",A8="",A9="",A10="",A11="",A12="",A13<>""),ROWS(A1:A13)-1,AND(A1<>"",A2="",A3="",A4="",A5="",A6="",A7="",A8="",A9="",A10="",A11="",A12="",A13="",A14<>""),ROWS(A1:A14)-1,AND(A1<>"",A2="",A3="",A4="",A5="",A6="",A7="",A8="",A9="",A10="",A11="",A12="",A13="",A14="",A15<>""),ROWS(A1:A15)-1,AND(A1<>"",A2="",A3="",A4="",A5="",A6="",A7="",A8="",A9="",A10="",A11="",A12="",A13="",A14="",A15="",A16<>""),ROWS(A1:A16)-1,AND(A1<>"",A2="",A3="",A4="",A5="",A6="",A7="",A8="",A9="",A10="",A11="",A12="",A13="",A14="",A15="",A16="",A17<>""),ROWS(A1:A17)-1,AND(A1<>"",A2="",A3="",A4="",A5="",A6="",A7="",A8="",A9="",A10="",A11="",A12="",A13="",A14="",A15="",A16="",A17="",A18<>""),ROWS(A1:A18)-1,AND(A1<>"",A2="",A3="",A4="",A5="",A6="",A7="",A8="",A9="",A10="",A11="",A12="",A13="",A14="",A15="",A16="",A17="",A18="",A19<>""),ROWS(A1:A19)-1,AND(A1<>"",A2="",A3="",A4="",A5="",A6="",A7="",A8="",A9="",A10="",A11="",A12="",A13="",A14="",A15="",A16="",A17="",A18="",A19="",A20<>""),ROWS(A1:A20)-1,AND(A1<>"",A2="",A3="",A4="",A5="",A6="",A7="",A8="",A9="",A10="",A11="",A12="",A13="",A14="",A15="",A16="",A17="",A18="",A19="",A20="",A21<>""),ROWS(A1:A21)-1,AND(A1<>"",A2="",A3="",A4="",A5="",A6="",A7="",A8="",A9="",A10="",A11="",A12="",A13="",A14="",A15="",A16="",A17="",A18="",A19="",A20="",A21="",A22<>""),ROWS(A1:A22)-1,AND(A1<>"",A2="",A3="",A4="",A5="",A6="",A7="",A8="",A9="",A10="",A11="",A12="",A13="",A14="",A15="",A16="",A17="",A18="",A19="",A20="",A21="",A22="",A23<>""),ROWS(A1:A23)-1,AND(A1<>"",A2="",A3="",A4="",A5="",A6="",A7="",A8="",A9="",A10="",A11="",A12="",A13="",A14="",A15="",A16="",A17="",A18="",A19="",A20="",A21="",A22="",A23="",A24<>""),ROWS(A1:A24)-1,AND(A1<>"",A2="",A3="",A4="",A5="",A6="",A7="",A8="",A9="",A10="",A11="",A12="",A13="",A14="",A15="",A16="",A17="",A18="",A19="",A20="",A21="",A22="",A23="",A24="",A25<>""),ROWS(A1:A25)-1,AND(A1<>"",A2="",A3="",A4="",A5="",A6="",A7="",A8="",A9="",A10="",A11="",A12="",A13="",A14="",A15="",A16="",A17="",A18="",A19="",A20="",A21="",A22="",A23="",A24="",A25="",A26<>""),ROWS(A1:A26)-1,AND(A1<>"",A2="",A3="",A4="",A5="",A6="",A7="",A8="",A9="",A10="",A11="",A12="",A13="",A14="",A15="",A16="",A17="",A18="",A19="",A20="",A21="",A22="",A23="",A24="",A25="",A26="",A27<>""),ROWS(A1:A27)-1,AND(A1<>"",A2="",A3="",A4="",A5="",A6="",A7="",A8="",A9="",A10="",A11="",A12="",A13="",A14="",A15="",A16="",A17="",A18="",A19="",A20="",A21="",A22="",A23="",A24="",A25="",A26="",A27="",A28<>""),ROWS(A1:A28)-1,AND(A1<>"",A2="",A3="",A4="",A5="",A6="",A7="",A8="",A9="",A10="",A11="",A12="",A13="",A14="",A15="",A16="",A17="",A18="",A19="",A20="",A21="",A22="",A23="",A24="",A25="",A26="",A27="",A28="",A29<>""),ROWS(A1:A29)-1,AND(A1<>"",A2="",A3="",A4="",A5="",A6="",A7="",A8="",A9="",A10="",A11="",A12="",A13="",A14="",A15="",A16="",A17="",A18="",A19="",A20="",A21="",A22="",A23="",A24="",A25="",A26="",A27="",A28="",A29="",A30<>""),ROWS(A1:A30)-1,AND(A1<>"",A2="",A3="",A4="",A5="",A6="",A7="",A8="",A9="",A10="",A11="",A12="",A13="",A14="",A15="",A16="",A17="",A18="",A19="",A20="",A21="",A22="",A23="",A24="",A25="",A26="",A27="",A28="",A29="",A30="",A31<>""),ROWS(A1:A31)-1,AND(A1<>"",A2="",A3="",A4="",A5="",A6="",A7="",A8="",A9="",A10="",A11="",A12="",A13="",A14="",A15="",A16="",A17="",A18="",A19="",A20="",A21="",A22="",A23="",A24="",A25="",A26="",A27="",A28="",A29="",A30="",A31="",A32<>""),ROWS(A1:A32)-1,AND(A1<>"",A2="",A3="",A4="",A5="",A6="",A7="",A8="",A9="",A10="",A11="",A12="",A13="",A14="",A15="",A16="",A17="",A18="",A19="",A20="",A21="",A22="",A23="",A24="",A25="",A26="",A27="",A28="",A29="",A30="",A31="",A32="",A33<>""),ROWS(A1:A33)-1,AND(A1<>"",A2="",A3="",A4="",A5="",A6="",A7="",A8="",A9="",A10="",A11="",A12="",A13="",A14="",A15="",A16="",A17="",A18="",A19="",A20="",A21="",A22="",A23="",A24="",A25="",A26="",A27="",A28="",A29="",A30="",A31="",A32="",A33="",A34<>""),ROWS(A1:A34)-1,AND(A1<>"",A2="",A3="",A4="",A5="",A6="",A7="",A8="",A9="",A10="",A11="",A12="",A13="",A14="",A15="",A16="",A17="",A18="",A19="",A20="",A21="",A22="",A23="",A24="",A25="",A26="",A27="",A28="",A29="",A30="",A31="",A32="",A33="",A34="",A35<>""),ROWS(A1:A35)-1,AND(A1<>"",A2="",A3="",A4="",A5="",A6="",A7="",A8="",A9="",A10="",A11="",A12="",A13="",A14="",

Can it be done in a simpler way but still with a single formula?
Thanks a lot for your next input!

In the mean time I did some simplification of my previous Monster formula and learned the ArrayFormula application in the process.
1st I tried to shorten the big blank cells intervals into ranges formulations to see if it still worked.
For example I changed:
AND(A1<>"",A2="",A3="",A4<>""),ROWS(A1:A4)-1,
into
AND(A1<>"",A2:A3="",A4<>""),ROWS(A1:A4)-1,
And it shortened my formula from this:
to this:
But then when pasting the new formula I got a #VALUE! error 'an array value could not be found'.
After further tests, I used the ArrayFormula and it worked by adapting the simple 'ranges' previously used to Arrays:
from this
AND(A1<>"",A2:A3="",A4<>""),ROWS(A1:A4)-1,
into this

Excel formula to return the number of occurrence of a string in a column

I have a Column "Name" as follows and I would like to find the occurrence of a value in the same column in the adjacent Column "Occurrence" as follows: Column "Occurrence" should show the Occurrence of the String next to it till that row
Name Occurrence
Alpha 1
Bravo 1
Alpha 2
Alpha 3
Charlie 1
Charlie 2
Golf 1
Golf 2
Golf 3
Hotel 1
I tried solving this but couldn't succeed, is there is a way to write a formula in column "Occurrence"?

Formulas can be fixed or mutable, or mixed, which is what you want.
The formula should reference the start of the list as a fixed point, but have the end of the list as changable. The $sign is used to tell Excel that a formula used a fixed reference, which will not change when you copy or fill the formula to other cells.
If Name is cell A1 and Occurrence is cell B1
B1 formula = COUNTIF($A$2:A2,A2)
Drag formula down.
The start of the list, $A$2, will stay the same as you copy the formula down. The other two parts will change the row number.

Formula to find last value in row and label with Column Top

I'm using Google Spreadsheets. I'll be using this image from a very similar question.
http://i.imgur.com/jqcNW.png [a link]Google Spreadsheet Formula to get last value in a row
Instead of giving the value, I want the Column top to show. So the H column would look something like: 2 1 3 1 4
(The product numbers from Row 1)
If it helps =index(B2:G2;1;counta(B2:G2)) was the answer given to the original question. My values would be words instead of numbers. It'd need to track the last 'Yes' in the row with the column top being dates.

I think this should be easy:
=index($B$1:$G$1;1;counta(B2:G2)) - if you write this to the H2 cell, it should search the "N"th element in the FIRST row ($B$1:$G$1) - where N represents the value of non-empty cells in that row (B2:G2).
You can then populate this H2 formula downwards.
Let me know if this helps.
