I would like to generate a formula, as shown, which will search a term in column D.
=IF(SUM(ISNUMBER(SEARCH("blue",D1:D))*1),"1","0")
but I see the error #Value!.
Have you an idea what I did wrong?
Your error might be because you are trying to sum strings. Try:
=ArrayFormula(sum(ISNUMBER(SEARCH("blue",D1:D))*1))

I am trying to have a sheet check scores compared to a grading scale. This is what I have as an argument but I cannot get it to work. Am I missing parenthesis? Some other formatting issue?
=IF(E3<67.9,6.5,IF(E3<71.9),7,IF(E3<76.9),7.5,if(E3<81.9),8, if(E3<85.9),8.5,if(E3<89.9),9,IF(E3<94.9),9.5,10)
I have tried many versions of this same formula but cannot get it to work as of yet.
try:
=IF(E3<67.9,6.5,IF(E3<71.9,7,IF(E3<76.9,7.5,if(E3<81.9,8, if(E3<85.9,8.5,if(E3<89.9,9,IF(E3<94.9,9.5,10)))))))
use:
=VLOOKUP(E3, {0,6.5; 68,7; 72,7.5; 77,8; 82,8.5; 86,9; 90,9.5; 95,10}, 2)
So I have this spreadsheet
And I want to essentially grab the value to the right of the value.
So for example, if I look for x, I want to get the values of E9, and E15. So far this is my query:
=LOOKUP(D23 , $D$5:$E$16 , $E$5:$E$16 , FALSE)
But all I'm getting is:
Error
Formula parse error
Any idea what I'm doing wrong?
EDIT:
I thought I might be making a mistake, since I forgot I'd have to SUM, but after changing the key to tax it still doesn't work
I tried both LOOKUP and VLOOKUP, same problem in each
I also tried smth I found in a tutorial, but no luck
=VLOOKUP(D23 , $D$5:$E$16 , 2 , FALSE)
TO FUTURE SEARCHERS:
To figure out which "breaker" you need (, of ;), take a close look at the formula help. It's the blue question mark next to the fx
Try using SUMIF (Documentation) instead of LOOKUP or VLOOKUP.
Like so:
=SUMIF(D5:D16;"tax";E5:E16)
Also, as you are using a Polish "Locale", you should use ; instead of ,.
Reasoning: whether you have to use , or ; depends on the "Locale" of the spreadsheet, under File –> Spreadsheet Settings. For example, a US or UK "Locale" would use the former (,) while a Hungarian or Polish "Locale" would use the latter (;)
You should use SUMIF
=sumif($D$5:$D$16;"x";$E$5:$E$16)
Trying to find a particular string in a google sheet column (column A) and return the value of the cell directly to the right (column B). If tried the following, but keep getting a Formula parse error. Please advise:
=VLOOKUP(“Assessment Guide - AWG”, A16:B120,2,FALSE)
That formula looks right to me, but if you could take a screenshot of how you wrote the formula that would be helpful. Usually formula parsing issues happen when you use a semicolon instead of a comma or have an extra parenthesis or a quote in the wrong place.
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),"")
so what Iam trying to do is:
Find a certain string in Spreadsheet1!A:A and give the value that is in B:B right next to the found value in A:A as an output.
My approach:
=VLOOKUP(B1;Spreadsheet1!A:A;Spreadsheet1!B:B)
The Problem:
VLOOKUP wont give strings back as a value. But I need the string for another formula. Is there any workaround, that does not include scripting?
Thank you!
Try this:
=VLOOKUP(B1;Spreadsheet1!A:B;2,False)
B1 should be the value that can be found in Spreadsheet1!A:A
