so what Iam trying to do is:
Find a certain string in Spreadsheet1!A:A and give the value that is in B:B right next to the found value in A:A as an output.
My approach:
=VLOOKUP(B1;Spreadsheet1!A:A;Spreadsheet1!B:B)
The Problem:
VLOOKUP wont give strings back as a value. But I need the string for another formula. Is there any workaround, that does not include scripting?
Thank you!
Try this:
=VLOOKUP(B1;Spreadsheet1!A:B;2,False)
B1 should be the value that can be found in Spreadsheet1!A:A

I want to return TRUE for blank cells until last value (check out the Required column)
I tried this formula: =AND($A2="" ,$A3:$A <> "") but it didn't work.
Question 1: How can I make 2nd argument i.e. $A3:$A <> "" return true if any one cell in the range $A3:$A is Not Null? Final Formula?
(I know my formula is wrong because it doesn't check every cell in the range mentioned if it is NULL or not, how can I make it check every cell?)
Question 2: ArrayFormula for the corresponding Formula.
(Please suggest if there's any better way to get the Formula & ArrayFromula along with the solution of the method I tried)
Here is the sheet link: https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1VF38MNcP1e4ieZY47QQq1zOwGYWAmuJ2k9A0WkGYeX0/edit?usp=sharing
EDIT:
I got the Formula: =IFNA(MATCH(FALSE,ArrayFormula(isblank(A2:A)),0),0)>1
For ArrayFormula I just tried wrapping it around but it didn't work: =ARRAYFORMULA(IFNA(MATCH(FALSE,ArrayFormula(isblank(A2:A)),0),0)>1)
I just need the ArrayFormula of this Formula & please tell me what's wrong in my ArrayFormula?
Thank you!
Try below formula.
=ArrayFormula(A2:A10="")
For full column
=ArrayFormula(A2:A="")
Edit: Then use below formula.
=ArrayFormula(INDEX(A:A,2):INDEX(A:A,MAX(IF(A:A<>"",ROW(A:A),0)))="")
try:
=INDEX(INDIRECT("A2:A"&MAX(IF(A2:A="",,ROW(A2:A))))="")
or:
=INDEX(INDIRECT("A2:A"&MAX((A2:A<>"")*ROW(A2:A)))="")
I suggest this simple formula:
=ArrayFormula(NOT(A2:A))
Since any value equates to TRUE and null equates to FALSE, wrapping the range in NOT will return the opposite.
ADDENDUM:
Given additional information from poster:
=ArrayFormula(IF((A2:A="")*(ROW(A2:A)<VLOOKUP(TRUE,SORT({A2:A<>"",ROW(A2:A)},2,0),2,FALSE)),TRUE,FALSE))
I'm trying to build an array formula on google sheets for this :
=CONCATENATE(MID(C2,4,3),(MID(C2,1,3)),MID(C2,7,4))
The problem is that when I use array formula going from C2:C, it will concatenate all the rows at the same time, which is not what I want.
Does anybody know how to properly use the array on that case? So it will keep looking for just the value on C2, C3,C4 and so on?
Thank you!
Use the ampersand character instead of CONCATENATE:
=ArrayFormula(IF(C2:C="", "", MID(C2:C,4,3)&(MID(C2:C,1,3))&MID(C2:C,7,4)))
A2:
96610,80508,64406,48305
How do I extract the last value, in this case 48305?
There must be an easy solution, but I can't come up with it.
Another way would be something like
=regexextract(A2&"", "[^,]+$")
or, to convert the output to a number:
=regexextract(A2&"", "[^,]+$")+0
This formula did it:
=TRIM(RIGHT(SUBSTITUTE(A2,",",REPT(" ",500)),500))
Trying to find a particular string in a google sheet column (column A) and return the value of the cell directly to the right (column B). If tried the following, but keep getting a Formula parse error. Please advise:
=VLOOKUP(“Assessment Guide - AWG”, A16:B120,2,FALSE)
That formula looks right to me, but if you could take a screenshot of how you wrote the formula that would be helpful. Usually formula parsing issues happen when you use a semicolon instead of a comma or have an extra parenthesis or a quote in the wrong place.
I wrote this formula in the spreadsheet: =if(match(AR$2,$A5:$E5,0),AR$2,"")
If there is no match, it's supposed to leave the cell blank, instead it gives #N/A. but if there is a match, it gives the value. Can anybody show me how to correct this? thanks.
You could use iferror
try something like:
=iferror(if(match(AR$2,$A5:$E5,0),AR$2),"")
