Sheet 1
There are items in columns A - F. How do I use VLOOKUP to find a row and copy it to Sheet 2 when it matches criteria in column F?
This is the formula in a cell on Sheet 2: =VLOOKUP(apple,Sheet1!A:F, 2, FALSE)
When using VLOOKUP() the lookupvalue must be found in the first column of the lookuprange. If that is not the case, you can either use a combination of INDEX() and MATCH()
=INDEX(Sheet1!A:F, match("apple", Sheet1!F:F, 0))
or 'virtually' rearrange the layout of the table (on Sheet 1) so that the column where the match is to be expected (e.g. column F), is the first column.
=ArrayFormula(VLOOKUP("apple", {Sheet1!F:F, Sheet1!A:F}, {2,3,4,5,6,7}, 0))

Column A is named "Quantity", which works in a simple formula:
I'm getting an error when attempting to use a named range in ISBETWEEN formula:
I verified that ISBETWEEN works when I use cell reference A2 instead of named range Quantity:
Any thoughts how I can fix? 😤
Your named range Quantity has its range set to A1:A but you are entering it in row 2, so error says there is no room in A2:A for A1:A unless you add a row but when you do it's the same coz you can't fit 3 keys into 2 keyholes (from one side each of course)
As seen on this sample:
See my comment to your original post.
Assuming that your named range Quantity is applied to the entire range A:A (and not A2:A), delete everything from Col B (including the header) and then place the following formula in cell B1:
=ArrayFormula( {"Test"; IF(A2:A="",, ISBETWEEN( FILTER(Quantity, ROW(Quantity)>1), 1, 5) ) } )
This one formula will create the header text (which you can change within the formula if you like) and all results for all valid, non-null rows.
FILTER(Quantity, ROW(Quantity)>1) is necessary to limit the full range of the named range Quantity to only those elements whose row is greater than (row) 1; this is because your results begin in Row 2.
You only need this one formula. As you add more data into Col A, the formula will process it.
Goal: Get the content of a cell in sheet 2 (column E) by searching for a keyword from sheet 1 in sheet 2.
To get the content I just need the relative position (row number) of the right cell in sheet 2 by looking for the unique keyword (sheet 1 column A) in sheet 2 column B.
sheet 1 column A (keywords):
1234567
7453773
9876543
Challenge: the cells in column B in sheet 2 includes not just one keyword (id) but several.
sheet 2 column B:
1234567 7453773 9876543
If there is just one keyword per cell the following formula works fine:
=index('sheet 2'!$E$2:$E,match(a2,'sheet 2'!$B$2:$B,0),1)
How can I find the relative row number if the cells include more keywords, separated by spaces?
try:
=ARRAYFORMULA(IFNA(IFNA(
VLOOKUP(A4:A7, Source!A2:B5, 2, 0),
VLOOKUP("*"&A4:A7&"*", Source!A2:B5, 2, 0))))
I use LARGE to find the (cell with the) largest number in column G. How do I retrieve the number from the same ROW as in G but in column F (so I can add them together)?
Do you want to retrieve the corresponding value or retrieve the sum of the two values?
In order to retrieve just the corresponding value you need to use a VLOOKUP. But, because you cannot return a negative column value such as column F by searching Column G, you have to use an in-formula array to rearrange the columns within the calculation. Here is the formula:
=ArrayFormula(VLOOKUP(large(G2:G,1),{G2:G,F2:F},2, FALSE))
This is assuming that row 1 is a header row.
try:
=SUM(INDEX(IFNA(VLOOKUP(LARGE(G2:G, 1), G2:F, {1,2}, ))))
or:
=SUM(INDEX(IFNA(VLOOKUP(MAX(G2:G, G2:F, {1,2}, ))))
I'm trying to get rid of bad data in my inventory list.
Sheet A is a sheet that is a list of all my products.
Sheet B is a sheet, generated from another piece of software, that lists all of my products that have been sold
I need to generate a third sheet, Sheet C, that lists all the unsold products. So, the number of rows between Sheet B and Sheet C should add up to the total number of rows on Sheet A.
How do I cross-reference/filter Sheet A with B to achieve C?
The following formula returns the list of entries from column A of Sheet1 that are not present in column A of Sheet2:
=filter(Sheet1!A2:A, isna(match(Sheet1!A2:A, Sheet2!A2:A, 0)))
Explanation: match returns error code #N/A for those entries in Sheet1!A2:A that are not found in Sheet2!A2:A. The isna function converts those to True boolean values. Finally, filter returns those rows for which the second argument evaluates to True.
The filter can return more than one column: it can be, for example,
=filter(Sheet1!A2:Z, isna(match(Sheet1!A2:A, Sheet2!A2:A, 0)))
But match requires a one-dimensional range, so you need a column (here assumed to be A) which can be used as an identifier of a row.
Google Spreadsheets, match/lookup in ALL rows, except the current one
I have never come across a method that looks in all rows, except the current.
Say you have a match or vlookup and it looks in ALL the rows except the current one the formula is in.
We use a formula like below that verifies if a certain value already exists (using a MAX), but if it finds itself then the match or vlookup is always 1 (or in error)
A B
1 Formula: Does value 1 from cell A1 exist in column A?
2 Formula: Does value 1 from cell A2 exist in column A?
3 Formula: Does value 1 from cell A3 exist in column A?
4 Formula: Does value 1 from cell A4 exist in column A? Check all except row 4
Something like this
Formula in cell C4: match(A4;A$1:A3&A5:A)
Or Formula in cell C4: match(A4;A:A&[^A4])
You can use this formula from the second row of data onward (B2=):
=IFERROR(MATCH(A2,A$1:A1,0),MATCH(A2,A3:A,0)+ROWS(A$1:A1)+1)
If there is no match above the current cell it will search for a match below, and will return the correct index in the full column range by adding ROWS(A$1:A1)+1 to the below match result.
Copy this formula downward from B2 to B3 and so on.
If you are trying to check whether the value appears in the column except for the current row just use COUNTIF()
Put this formula in B2
=ARRAYFORMULA(IF($A$2:$A="",,IF(COUNTIF($A2:$A,"="&$A2:A)>1,True,False)))
Otherwise please specify what kind of output you want
