I understand cells can be merged with something the like the following:
=B2&", "&C2
This works great for cells in column B that are different than cells in column C.
However, if the cells are the same, I would like to output only the contents of cells in column B.
Is this doable in Excel 2010?
How about using an If formula:
=If(B2=C2,B2,B2&", "&C2)

I am just wondering whether it is possible to achieve what I need to achieve, but using an ARRAYFORMULA.
I have a simple setup where in column B I show the value, which is present in the last previous filled in row in column A
Here is an example.
So, the questios is: is it possible to achieve the same, but with ARRAYFORMULA(s), so that in case a new row is incerted, one does not need to drag formula to fill in the new row, but the formula would be added automatically. All my attempts ended up with the circular reference problem.
This is tradtionally done with a vlookup of row numbers into a filtered array of the values. It would look like this in row 4 of your sample sheet:
=ARRAYFORMULA(VLOOKUP(ROW(A4:A),FILTER({ROW(A4:A),A4:A},A4:A<>""),2,TRUE))
I have a sheet with several numbers, which I want to convert to percentage. These are scores imported from a form, where the maximum score is 5.
According to the bellow image, the cell B2, I applied a basic formula =(3/5)*100% to convert three to 60%.
In order to avoid copy and paste the same formula into all cells, is there any formula to find all the cells and apply its value, divide per 5 and multiple per 100%? I thought something similar to Javascript such as (this/5)*100%.

you could treat it as array and on Sheet2 use:
=ARRAYFORMULA(IF(Sheet1!B2:AA="";;(Sheet1!B2:AA/5)*100%))

I've also looked for a solution to this for some time.
I don't think it's possible as a cell can only hold one value and the moment you try to change that value, it will delete the value.
Your best bet is to create a different table on the same sheet that references the specified values, then copy and paste the results (values only).
Just create a second Sheet, then in cell B2 of Sheet2 use the formula =Sheet1!B2/5*100%.
Then copy the formula to all cells of Sheet2.
I need each line in this one cell to be transposed into individual cells along the same row.
I used to be able to use something like this:
=split(regexreplace(R2, "(.{10})", "/$1"),"/")
Now I can't seem to get it
=split(A1,Char(10))
(I am not prepared to type in all of the numbers OP could not be bothered to present as text just to show the above works, nor guess what underlies the #REF!.)
I use Arrayformula() to make my reports dynamic and easier to edit. For example, if I have a Column A with a list o number o blue balls in a set and a Column B with a list red balls in a set, on the cell C1 I can write =ArrayFormula(add(A1:A,B1:B)) and in the Column C will have the total of balls in each set. It would be exactly the same as writing =A1+B1 in cell C1 and dragging the formula down to the last row. Arrayformula() has some benefits, because it will work if some adds or removes rows from the sheet and also it makes the reports way more organized and easier to edit.
Since I´ve discovered arrayformula(), my life has changed, because of the fact that googleSheets expands the formula to other cells. It does not work every time, but the idea of expanding to other cells seems to be possible some way or another, here is a good example of a problem that was not resolved by arrayformula(), but has the same idea.
Keeping that idea in mind, imagine that on Column A there is a list of First Names and on Column B there is a list of Last names. On Column C I want to join this two string using a simples space. The way to do that would be in the cell C1 write =join(" ",A1,B1) and then drag down this formula. This method method however is prone to error since people can add and remove rows, deleting my formula. I want to use a formula that I can write in one single cell and it expands to other cells. I´ve tried =arrayformula(join(" ",A1:A,B1:B)), but it does not work.
Is that a way to do that using =arrayformula() or other native function?
I know I could write a script or custom formula to do that, but this is not my goal here.
I think this formula should work:
=arrayformula(A1:A&" "&B1:B)
In case you want to use a delimiter, you can do the following to have a clean result even though, A or B is not present in some cases:
ARRAYFORMULA(ifna(ifs(isblank(A1:A),,ISBLANK(B1:B),A1:A),A1:A&" - "&B1:B))
I am working on a spreadsheet that tracks my running mileage. I've got all my miles in one column, but I want to be able to create a "Calendar View" of sorts, so I can track my miles on Mondays, Tuesdays, etc.
To do this, I am using: =Mileage!C13 for cell b2.
For cell B3, I want: =Mileage!C14.
Obviously, I will be using 7 columns for the calendar, but when I try to create a series in the row, it increases the column (instead of C14, it gives D13).
Also, I tried doing a series in the column instead, and increasing by 7 with no luck.
B2: =Mileage!C13. B3=Mileage!C20. If I select both cells and try to create a series, it gives me =Mileage!C14 instead of =Mileage!C27.
I hope this makes sense... any tips, or am I going about this completely wrong? Thanks!
You can reproduce the first 7 cells in a row fairly easily with the TRANSPOSE function:
=TRANSPOSE(Mileage!C13:C19)
However this still doesn't address the issue of being able to easily fill the formula down. Using OFFSET, we can rewrite the above formula to:
=TRANSPOSE(OFFSET(Mileage!C$13,0,0,7,1))
and then use the ROW function and a bit of maths in the second argument:
=TRANSPOSE(OFFSET(Mileage!C$13,(ROW(A1)-1)*7,0,7,1))
This formula you should now be able to fill/drag down successfully.
