How to maintain absolute cell address even when deleting ranges?
(2 answers)
Closed 5 months ago.
So I have an google spreadsheet, I am build a cache stats page, that just caches other sheets in the document. All the other sheets are constantly changing.
Here is an example.
I have 2 sheets in a workbook.
SheetA and SheetB
SheetA has 1 column 1 row. A1 and in A1 we have a value of lets say $50.00
SheetB has the same thing, 1 row 1 column. A1 has a formula of ='SheetA'!$A$1
If I go into SheetA and add a column to the left of A1, Google Spreadsheet updates my formula to be ='SheetA'!$B$1
I was under the impression with the $ (dollar) sign the reference should not change but it does. Any ideas on how to prevent Google from updating my formulas? Currently anytime I update the sheets I have to run a script to update all the formulas back to the original.
Try wrapping that in an indirect function. That should prevent the 'shifting'.
=INDIRECT("'SheetA'!A1")

Is there a custom function or script that returns gid of a specific sheet in Google Sheets?
Closed 1 year ago.
Important: I asked this question before and it was merged into another question where the solution is using a script. Such a solution, with a script, is not helpful to me, so please only offer a solution with formulas, thanks.
I have a main sheet with a list of the names of the other sheets in the workbook. I want to create a glossary in the main sheet linking to cell A1 in each of the other sheets (a simple Hyperlink).
In Col A - list of sheet names (e.g. Jan, Feb)
In Col B - I want the hyperlinks (e.g. a link to Jan!A1, a link to Feb!A1)
What I can do, is use INDIRECT and CONCATENATE to bring the respective value of the cells (I've added it in Col C in the example below), but I can't find how to create the links.
Here's an example:
https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1C1LghRPcutYBwgZZaitJQ1PVrgggr5XdvG6V7L32eE0/edit#gid=0
and here we go again... this is your previous question: stackoverflow.com/questions/70054228 (for reference)
what you don't need is:
INDIRECT formula
CONCATENATE formula
because these are not capable of solving your issue
to solve your question:
Hyperlinking to sheets without using a script
you need two things:
HYPERLINK formula
#gid= number
GID number can be acquired from the URL of every sheet tab. for creating a list of all GID numbers you need a script. since the script is not an option for you (as for your request), your only option is to create a list of GIDs manually - eg. going into each tab of your spreadsheet and extracting GID numbers from the URL
note: each spreadsheet has unique GID numbers for each of the sheets. only first sheet on every spreadsheet has GID value set to 0 - #gid=0
after you will have all the necessary GIDs (let's say in a column) you can go for the next step and use HYPERLINK formula:
instead of the URL as the first argument, we use GID to create jump links:
=HYPERLINK("#gid=1220119768"; "Sheet 2")
of course, this is the same as using full URL:
=HYPERLINK("https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1yaRwbLGmDeynYktvxmLJcCBZrAvqgJA-_nYTlVf92Tc/edit#gid=1062970060"; "Sheet 2")
the only difference is in formula length
for multiple hyperlinks we can use arrayformula:
=ARRAYFORMULA(HYPERLINK("#gid="&A2:A5; B2:B5))
where:
A B
1
2 1062970060 Sheet 2
3 2118975038 Sheet 3
4 273293449 Feb
5 1564587416 some other label
6
if you want your hyperlinks to lead for example to F8 you can add &range=F8 so:
=ARRAYFORMULA(HYPERLINK("#gid=" & A2:A5 & "&range=F8"; B2:B5))
also, if it wasn't clear... labels are not mandatory. you can skip them and have just:
=HYPERLINK("#gid=1220119768")
and also keep in mind that the 2nd argument of HYPERLINK can take even formula:
=HYPERLINK("#gid=1220119768"; INDIRECT(A2&"!A1"))
and to save your time... INDIRECT is not supported under ARRAYFORMULA. the only workaround for that would be to place multiple INDIRECTs into array {}:
=ARRAYFORMULA(HYPERLINK("#gid="&
{"1220119768"; "2118975038"; "273293449"; "1564587416"};
{INDIRECT(A2&"!A1"); INDIRECT(A3&"!A1"); INDIRECT(A4&"!A1"); INDIRECT(A5&"!A1")}))
I have 2 sheets in Google Sheets that are linked.
Sheet1 is the 'root source'.(Sheet1 is a Google Form sheet that automatically updates with new responses).
Sheet2 uses the formula "=Sheet1!C2" to transfer values from Sheet1 to a specific column (in Sheet2).
The formula in Sheet2 is expanded/copied so that "=Sheet1!C2" is followed by "=Sheet1!C3", "=Sheet1!C4", and so on.
The problem: Every time a new entry in Sheet1 is created (i.e. a new response is created), Sheet2 does not get a new entry (but it should since I have defined it using the mentioned formulas). When inspecting the formula, I see that cell in the formula (like C3, C4, ...) gets shifted upwards by 1.
Therefore, the cell (still in Sheet2) that was defined with the formula "=Sheet1!C3" is automatically changed to "=Sheet1!C4".
How can I prevent this automatic upwards shifting of the formula when a new response/entry is created in Sheet1 (so that it automatically arrives in Sheet2 as well)?
Thank you!
use arrayformula in row 1 in your Sheet2:
=ARRAYFORMULA({"header"; Sheet1!C2:C})
I am turning to you today for help with a problem on Google Sheets.
I receive this data from a Google Sheets form: An answer (0 or 1) to 5 different questions.
I would like to calculate in column A (in green) the scores out of 5 for each row, as soon as a new row is added by the form.
I tried to use the ARRAYFORMULA() function but it does the count for all the cells in the range and not just row by row:
Do you have an idea to have a score out of 5 for each line of question and have it apply to the whole file as soon as a new line is added by the Google Form?
Thanks for your help
If you want to use COUNTIF (English correspondance for NB.SI), modify your formula to:
=ARRAYFORMULA(COUNTIF(IF(B1:F=1,ROW(B1:B)), ROW(B1:B)))
or for your regional settings:
=ARRAYFORMULA(NB.SI(IF(B1:F=1,ROW(B1:B)), ROW(B1:B)))
You can get a row-by-row sum with sumif() like this in cell A3:
=arrayformula( sumif( if(column(B3:F), row(B3:F)), row(B3:F), B3:F) )
This formula uses open-ended range references so it will create results all the way down to the end of the sheet. To limit that, use a range reference like B3:F100 instead.

How to combine ARRAYFORMULA and COUNTIF
(1 answer)
Closed 3 months ago.
I need to count the duplicates only until the current row. And I need it to be in an arrayformula as I need it to expand automatically when a new row is added
In excel I would use a table with a function looking something like:
=COUNTIF($A$2:A2,B2) -> in cell C2
In cell C10 the function would automatically become:
=COUNTIF($A$2:A10,B10)
I am not able to perform this action in google sheets:
=ARRAYFORMULA(IF(ROW(J:J)=1,"Column title", IF(ISBLANK(J:J),"",COUNTIF($J$1:J1,J:J))))
I know that $J$1:J1 won't work but am out of ideas.
Is this somehow achievable?
Something like this?
=ArrayFormula(if(A:A="","",countifs(A:A,A:A,row(A:A),"<="&row(A:A))))

Google Sheet SUMIF not summing range
(1 answer)
Closed 3 years ago.
I am making a sheet to oversee funds
I am trying to make something like this in Google Sheets
D(n) = D(n-1) + B(n) - C(n) for the entire row of D
and so on for the entire row
I also would prefer if the remaining fund didn't show up unless a value for received or spent has been input
You can use SUMIF to get running totals of columns B and C, and subtract one from the other:
=ArrayFormula(if((B3:B="")*(C3:C=""),"",sumif(row(A3:A),"<="&row(A3:A),B3:B)-sumif(row(A3:A),"<="&row(A3:A),C3:C)+D2))
try:
=ARRAYFORMULA(IF((B3:B)+(C3:C),
MMULT(TRANSPOSE((ROW(B3:B)<=TRANSPOSE(ROW(B3:B)))*B3:B), SIGN(B3:B))+D2-
MMULT(TRANSPOSE((ROW(C3:C)<=TRANSPOSE(ROW(C3:C)))*C3:C), SIGN(C3:C)), IFERROR(1/0)))
