Formula Parse Error in Google Spreadsheet Sparkline - google-sheets

I'm having some trouble using the SPARKLINE function on Google Spreasheets. If I use the "default" formula, like =SPARKLINE(C9:N9), it works nicelly. But, everytime I try to add some extra options, like using columns instead of lines, for example =SPARKLINE(C11:N11;{"charttype", "bar"}), I get a "Error, Formula parse error." message.
Has anyone here had the same problem? Any idea of how can I fix it?
Thanks!

When you address the option like an object, then you should use a backslash: =SPARKLINE(C11:N11;{"charttype"\"bar"}

Using multiple function for COUNTIFS in google sheets

=COUNTIFS((Tab1!C2:Tab1!C250),"*sam*") & ((Tab1!B2:Tab1!B250), ">1-Nov-2020")
In the above formula, I'm trying to get the count of 'person names whose name is sam and the value which is past 1-Nov-2020.
While trying to fetch the count using the above formula, it is showing Formula parse error.
Please analyze and tell where might I went wrong.
You need to correct your syntax to:
=COUNTIFS('Tab1'!C2:C9,"sam", 'Tab1'!B2:B9,">1-Nov-2020")
Please read more on how the COUNTIFS function work.
EDIT (following OP's comment)
The correct syntax would be
COUNTIFS(criteria_range1, criterion1, [criteria_range2, …], [criterion2, …]) meaning:
=COUNTIFS('Tab1'!C2:C9,"sam", 'Tab1'!B2:B9,">1-Nov-2020", 'Tab1'!B2:B9,">=1-11-2020")
BUT
Since you refer to dates 1-Nov-2020 is the same as 1-11-2020.
So you only need
=COUNTIFS('Tab1'!C2:C9,"sam", 'Tab1'!B2:B9,">=1-11-2020")
OR
=COUNTIFS('Tab1'!C2:C9,"sam", 'Tab1'!B2:B9,">=1-Nov-2020")

Copy Row To Another Sheet Based On Cell Value In Google Sheet

I'm Trying it:
=FILTER('Orginal'!A:D, 'Orginal'!D:D="Complete")
Screens:
And i have Error. "formula analysis error"
What im doing wrong?
You are having a syntax error here:
Please use the following formula:
=FILTER('Orginal'!A2:D, 'Orginal'!D2:D="Complete")
update after finding solution
It turns out the solution had to do with the spreadsheet location.
The location of the spreadsheet can determine if the formulas have either a comma or a semicolon, as well as the format of the dates. To change your location of the spreadsheet, you can do it in:
file => spreadsheet settings => locale and change the locale there.
Yeah bad screen.. but i found it... it was problem with this:
It shoud be :
=FILTER(Orginal!A:D;Orginal!D:D="Complete")
i changed "," to ";"

Google Sheets' IMPORTXML breaks randomly

I'm writing since I'm experiencing some issues with the following IMPORTXML formula in Google Sheets:
=IMPORTXML("http://xmltestmagicplan.000webhostapp.com/xml_test.xml","/catalog/book[2]")
The formula works fine most of the times but approximately once a day it breaks, showing an error in loading the formula and giving #N/A as a result.
The workaround is changing anything in the URL (i.e. http -> https or 000webhostapp.com -> 000webhostapp.org) and then changing it back. Basically I think the workaround is forcing Google Sheets to reload the formula.
The same thing happens if I use this formula:
=IMPORTXML("http://xmltestmagicplan.000webhostapp.com/xml_test.xml")
No problem instead with the following formulas:
=IMPORTXML("https://gist.githubusercontent.com/Ram-N/5189462/raw/46db0b43ad7bf9cbd32a8932f3ab981bd4b4da7c/books.xml","/catalog/book[2]")
=IMPORTXML("https://gist.githubusercontent.com/Ram-N/5189462/raw/46db0b43ad7bf9cbd32a8932f3ab981bd4b4da7c/books.xml")
I think the issue is due to the hosting (000webhostapp.com) I'm using but I can't figure why. Any ideas?
you can try to trick it like this:
=IFERROR(
IMPORTXML("http://xmltestmagicplan.000webhostapp.com/xml_test.xml", "/catalog/book[2]"),
IMPORTXML("http://xmltestmagicplan.000webhostapp.com/xml_test.xml", "/catalog/book[2]"))
or if the switch is too fast add 1 fake switch between like:
=IFERROR(IFERROR(
IMPORTXML("http://xmltestmagicplan.000webhostapp.com/xml_test.xml", "/catalog/book[2]"),
IMPORTXML("http://xmltestmagicplan.000webhostapp.ORG/xml_test.xml", "/catalog/book[2]")),
IMPORTXML("http://xmltestmagicplan.000webhostapp.com/xml_test.xml", "/catalog/book[2]"))

If & match function together in spreadsheets

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),"")

Google Sheets formula not working

Google Sheets is saying there is a parse error.
=ROUNDUP(B9/B3)&ʺ:ʺ&ROUNDUP(B3/B9)
What's wrong with it?
I think it may just be the wrong type of double inverted commas. Try copy/pasting the following:
=ROUNDUP(B9/B3)&":"&ROUNDUP(B3/B9)
For comparison:
=ROUNDUP(B9/B3)&ʺ:ʺ&ROUNDUP(B3/B9)
Seconded, the commas are the issue here!
I re-typed your exact formula and the cell generated the correct solution:
=roundup(B9/B3)&":"&roundup(B3/B9)
