I'm using a pivot table in a Google Spreadsheet that counts the occurrences of different types of event-types on given dates. The events are listed on one sheet, with a column for "Date" and column for "Type." Based on this a Pivot Table is produced.
The trouble is that for dates when an event-type is non-existent, COUNTA returns empty. I'd rather it return 0.
The reason is for charting and statistical purposes when you create a chart from this data, it interpolates between values, ignoring empty cells. I'd prefer that it display zero on the chart on the days when these event types don't exist...
Is this possible?
UPD: sorry, I've misunderstood what you need.
What if, on another worksheet, you write the following?
=arrayformula(IF('PivotSheetName'!A1:Z100="";0;'PivotSheetName'!A1:Z100))
(This formula makes a copy of your Pivot table on the new worksheet,
replacing empty cells with 0; moreover, the control elements of the
pivot table are copied to the new worksheet as well)

I have no idea how to title this post, apologize in advance.
I have several sheets with a number in Column I and a name centered and merged in columns A:H. I want to obtain the name from A:H of the corresponding value within I but do have duplicates, therefore I need the nth value when permitted. The formula I have so far works up to the point it does not autofill down as an ArrayFormula, so when I drag the formula down I get an #REF! error due to the fact that when a duplicate is found it cannot overwrite the formula below.
This will be easier to showcase: LINK TO SHEET.
Essentially, in the main sheet all the values in I:I of all the other sheets are obtained and sorted, then using that column I want to return the name that corresponds to the value, allowing for duplicates to work themselves out. I believe my issues resides in the $B1 part at the end of the formula preventing it from being an array.
=ARRAYFORMULA(UNIQUE(FILTER({Sheet2!$A$1:$A;Sheet3!$A$1:$A;Sheet4!$A$1:$A},{Sheet2!$I$1:$I;Sheet3!$I$1:$I;Sheet4!$I$1:$I}=$B1)))
Cell F2 on the Sheet1 tab:
=QUERY({Sheet2!A:I;Sheet3!A:I;Sheet4!A:I},"select Col1,Col9 where Col9>0 order by Col9 asc",0)
You can read more about query here.
I have some data that I want to summarise at a grouped level, where the possible values for each group are given as a pipe-delimited string. I then perform a sumifs by summing over multiple arrays, one of which includes a COUNTIF() with a SPLIT() in order to establish if the row features in this set of values.
The formula works fine but I would ideally like it to function as an array formula so that if the number of groups changes, the number of rows the formula is applied to will also change.
See sample sheet here. Raw data is in the tab "data", the groupings data is in the tab "Groupings" and it is the formula in column C on the "Summary" tab that I want to make work as an array formula.
I think the easiest way to do this is to mark the Group on the Data sheet and then use a traditional query to add up the groups. This vlookup should do it in cell D1:
=ARRAYFORMULA({"Group";IF(A2:A="",,VLOOKUP("*|"&A2:A&"|*",{"|"&Groupings!D:D&"|",Groupings!C:C},2,0))})
In Google Sheets, I'm trying to use AVERAGEIF to calculate an average of only some of the columns in another table.
The columns to be included in the average are marked by some text in a specific cell (e.g. the first or last row of that column).
Some columns are to be included in several averages, so the text in the top\bottom row would include several words (effectively meaning I'll need some sort of substring check such as FIND).
I've tried using AVERAGEIF() in conjuction with FIND() but couldn't get this to work.
Any ideas?
Here is an example of how the data sheet looks like, and how I would expect it to work
You can use following formula:
=ARRAYFORMULA(AVERAGE(IF(ISNUMBER(SEARCH(D2,A2:A9)),B2:B9,"")))
Edit:
For table mentioned in comment you must change ranges:
=ARRAYFORMULA(AVERAGE(IF(ISNUMBER(SEARCH(E2,$A$1:$C$1)),$A$2:$C$4,"")))
You can use a query
=AVERAGE(QUERY(TRANSPOSE($A$1:$D),"where Col1 contains '"&D1&"'"))
Functions used:
AVERAGE
QUERY
TRANSPOSE
I'm trying to make a spreadsheet to track membership for an organization.
Basically my design is an input sheet with columns of names associated with expiration dates, then another sheet that collects all the unique names and all of their associated expiration dates, and then one last sheet that filters the names into only those with expiration dates in the future.
I am able to collect all the unique names into one column using an arrayformula, but I am stuck trying to do a lookup operation of some kind that, for each name, will look for the name in each column and if it appears then it will add the associated expiration date to it's list (and otherwise add a blank cell, and then I can filter out the blank cells).
Is there a way to use vlookup or anything else in an arrayformula to do a series of operations for all columns in a range? Also, I want to use arrayformula because I want the formula to be infinite so the spreadsheet can keep growing. I've tried using
=ARRAYFORMULA(IF(ISERROR(VLOOKUP(A1:A,Sheet1!A2:200,1,FALSE)),,Sheet1!A1:1))
But vlookup, and anything else I tried like match, interprets Sheet1!A2:200 as a single range and performs a lookup only in the first column and does not do a separate lookup in each column.
For example, I might have this input on Sheet1
And want this result on another sheet
I suspect the combination of what you would really like and what is reasonably practical is a script but the following is an array formula, though would be cumbersome to extend and does require copying down (from B1):
=split(if(ISERROR(match(A1,Sheet1!A:A,0)),"",Sheet1!A$1)&"|"&if(ISERROR(match(A1,Sheet1!B:B,0)),"",Sheet1!B$1)&"|"&if(ISERROR(match(A1,Sheet1!C:C,0)),"",Sheet1!C$1),"|")
Assumes a unique list of names in ColumnA, such as created by:
=unique(QUERY({Sheet1!A2:A6;Sheet1!B2:B6;Sheet1!C2:C6},"where Col1 is not NULL"))
in A1.
I'm currently trying to get the last value of Column "D" in several sheets, then add all the values together, then calculate a percentage based on a value from a main sheet cell.
I can get =VALUE(D:D) to work and =VALUE(Animations!D15), but not a combination of both which is what I need (since the size of the column will continue to grow).
It would be best if it was the last numerical value in column D, and not account for blank spaces or strings.
Thanks!
To find the last populated number in a column use Index with an approximate Match to 1E+99.
=index(sheet2!d:d, match(1e99, sheet2!d:d))
The above retrieves the last number in column D on Sheet2.
Google sheets will not process an array of worksheet names through INDIRECT like Excel will but a 'helper' column will take care of that. If you want to hard-code a series of worksheet names into a sum of index/match formulas, then Indirect isn't even necessary.
In the accompanying linked worksheet, I've used this method to retrieve the last number from columns with numbers, text and errors. I've thrown in the 'last number' cell address as well.
