I have a sheet that was in Excel, but is now in Google Sheets. It had a HYPERLINK formula that would jump to the row with today's date in Column B (handy for daily logging of information). The formula was:
=HYPERLINK("#A"&MATCH("TODAY",A3:A629,0)+3&":A"&MATCH("TODAY",A3:A629,0)+3,"Jump to today")
It worked by looking for the cell in Column A containing TODAY, which is driven by an IF formula based on the date in column B. That HYPERLINK functionality doesn't work in Google Sheets.
Is there a way to fix it, or another way around it?
Please try:
=HYPERLINK("l i n k&range=B"&MATCH("TODAY",A1:A629,0),"Jump to today")
where l i n k is the full URL. Be careful with the quotes.

This may simply be a convoluted duplicate of an existing question, and I have been able to find one or two issues that match what I'm seeing here, but I am very curious to see if the cause is just user error on my part or if this is something I am just not aware of.
I have a worksheet titled Sheet1 with 999 rows. On this sheet in cells A3, B3, and C3 down are Year values (2021), Month numbers (1, 2, 3, etc.), and Quarter (Q1, Q2, etc.). In cell D, I have the following long but simple formula:
=SUMPRODUCT((MONTH(INDIRECT("TestSheet ("&C2&" "&A2&")!$C$3:$C$999"))=B2)*(YEAR(INDIRECT("TestSheet ("&C2&" "&A2&")!$C$3:$C$999"))=A2)*(INDIRECT("TestSheet ("&C2&" "&A2&")!$E$3:$E$999")))
What this formula does is sum the monetary values from sheets with variable names by month (INDIRECT is used to refer to sheets with the name "TestSheet (x y)", where x is the Quarter value and y is the year (ie: "TestSheet (Q1 2021)").
This formula functions as intended, and correctly sums the values on the variable sheet names when those sheets exist. The issue I'm running into is that it seems to take a length of time for Sheets to identify that a sheet exists, even when "On change and every minute" is selected under the Calculation tab under Spreadsheet Settings. From testing on a fresh workbook in which this formula is the only one present and there are no other formulas present that could be slowing down the recalculation, the cell values do not appear to update at all even an hour after the relevant cells have been updated with data.
Is there any indication based on what I have so far that stands out as a possible cause? Any suggestions would be appreciated.
try:
=INDEX(SUMIF(TEXT(
INDIRECT("TestSheet ("&C5&" "&A5&")!C2:C"), "yyyyM"), A5&B5,
INDIRECT("TestSheet ("&C5&" "&A5&")!E2:E")))
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.
I'm very new to programming so I'm not sure how to phrase this but in google sheets, I'm having a problem:
when filtering results using =IFERROR(FILTER('Segment Management'!B:B,'Segment Management'!A:A=B5)), it works perfectly fine with letters and numbers but when there's a date in Segment Management cell B5 it instead of saying the date (in this case 15/3/2020) it outputs "43906". Could I get some help to explain why it says this number instead of the date?
Date is considered as plain number in google sheets that's the reason you get numbers instead of date you can either do either of one
Select the column where you have put formula & in menu Format> Number> and select date formatting
OR
use this formula =ARRAYFORMULA(TEXT(FILTER('Segment Management'!B:B,'Segment Management'!A:A=B5),"DD/MM/YYYY"))
I have been working on how I budget and keep track of my finances. In the process, I put together this Google Sheet which I am happy to share a dummy version of (includes dummy data).
I use a Google Form to input new entries which are recorded in the 'Log' page.
From here, I use a few SUMIFS to pull in the totals of any given income/expense category based on the category name (referenced in the cell adjacent), the month (B3), and the year (C3).
What I now want to do is add a table (currently in columns O:Q) that calls in itemised log records based on the category selected (O2) and the month and the year. On the reference sheet these are cells (B3) and (C3) respectively and in the log, these are columns (F) and (G).
I've gotten as far as using an INDEX / SMALL array formula combination to pull in all spending as per the category selected in (O2), but what I cannot seem to figure out is how to then restrict results to only those that also match the month and year. I've tried using a MATCH formula but am unsure how to append this within the current formula string, if it is even possible?
Once working, this would (for example) mean that only rows 4 and 5 in columns O, P, and Q would be populated as these are the records for the selected month, June 2016.
Is what I want to do possible through a more complex formula? Can anybody help?
Thank you in advance.

The following should do the trick.
Delete everything in O4:Q14
In cell O4, write: =FILTER(Log!H2:H, Log!B2:B=O$2, Log!G2:G=C$3, Log!F2:F=B$3)
In cell P4, write: =FILTER(Log!E2:E, Log!B2:B=O$2, Log!G2:G=C$3, Log!F2:F=B$3)
In cell Q4, write: =FILTER(Log!D2:D, Log!B2:B=O$2, Log!G2:G=C$3, Log!F2:F=B$3)
(By the way, you can generate columns F, G and maybe E from column A in the Logs sheet. For example, just remove the data that is already in column G and in G2 write: =ARRAYFORMULA(YEAR(A2:A))

As you can see events are planned out on a sort of calendar look.
I will be using this every day and I would like it to highlight the current date to me automatically. I've highlighted today's date manually.
Do you see any way to do this?
It does not need to be the whole column it can just be the day number and week of day on the top if it's easier.
I would greatly appreciate any help you can give me regarding this!
Thanks a lot.

I found this question when searching for a way to highlight a whole column/row.
Here's the way to do it:
Apply to range: A1:Z1000 (this is the range of all columns/rows including the dates)
Format cells if...: [Custom formula is]
Formula (for columns): =A$1=TODAY()
Formula (for rows): =$A1=TODAY()
The dollar sign ($) will keep the reference cell fixed. So if the formula uses A$1 it takes A1, B1, C1 etc to look for the date and then highlights the entire column A, B, C etc.
If the formula uses $A1 it takes A1, A2, A3 etc to look for the date and then highlights the entire row 1, 2, 3 etc.
Just make sure that "range" covers the entire rectangle of cells and not just one date. It's easy to adapt if your dates are in a different row/column.
Hope this helps the next person who comes here with a similar problem :)
You would have to use conditional formatting
on the column with the dates. Rule should be "Date is today". Choose a color to your likings.
