YIn E2 my function =IF($B2=3,TRANSPOSE(Opponent3STARS)) works perfectly for me
And in E7 my function =IF($B7=2,TRANSPOSE(Opponent2STARS)) also works for this named range
However in E6, I'd like to be able to use both of those to basically get what appears in E2 directly on top of what appears in E7. And in that same order, and such that it only gets transposed into the same size destination range of E6:I6.
Can someone help me figure out the proper way to construct the function for that?
Thanks!
I tried to use CHAR(10), IFS, CONCENTATE, etc., but I think I just missed what the correct format is.
You may try:
=IF($B6=2.5,transpose(map(Opponent3STARS,Opponent2STARS,lambda(a,b,a&char(10)&b))))
UPDATED FORMULA
=index(if(B2:B21=3,torow(Opponent3STARS),
if(B2:B21=2.5,torow(map(Opponent3STARS,Opponent2STARS,lambda(a,b,a&char(10)&b))),
if(B2:B21=2,torow(Opponent2STARS),
if(B2:B21=1.5,torow(map(Opponent2STARS,Opponent1STARS,lambda(a,b,a&char(10)&b))),
if(B2:B21=1,torow(Opponent1STARS),
if(B2:B21=0.5,torow(map(Opponent1STARS,Opponent0STARS,lambda(a,b,a&char(10)&b))),
if(B2:B21=0,torow(Opponent0STARS)))))))))
this is an arrayformula which extends automatically for the entire range E3:E21. you may need to clear the cells in the above said range of any existing formulas so that arrayformula is not blocked by them.

I'm making a time-spending tracker based on the work I do every hour of the day.
Now, suppose I have 28 types of work listed in my tracker (which I also have to increase from time to time), and I have about 8 significance values that I have decided to relate to these 28 types of work, predefined.
I want that, as soon as I enter a type of work in cell 1 - I want the adjacent cell 2 to get automatically populated with a significance value (from a range of 8 values) that is pre-definitely set by me.
Every time I input a new or old occurrence of a type of work, the adjacent cell should automatically get matched with its relevant significance value & automatically get populated in real-time.
I know how to do it using IF, IFS, and IF_OR conditions, but I feel that based on the ever-expanding types of work & significance values, the above formulas will be very big, complicated, and repetitive in the future. I feel there's a more efficient way to achieve it. Also, I don't want it to be selected from a drop-down list.
Guys, please help me out with the most efficient way to handle this. TUIA :)
Also, I've added a snapshot and a sample sheet describing the problem.
Sample sheet
XLOOKUP() may work. Try-
=XLOOKUP(D2,A2:A,B2:B)
Or FILTER() function like-
=FILTER(B2:B,A2:A=D2)
You can use this formula for a whole column:
=INDEX(IFERROR(VLOOKUP(C14:C,A2:B9,2,0)))
Adapt the ranges to your actual tables in order to include in the second argument all the potential values and their significances
This is the formula, that worked for me (for anybody's reference):
I created another reference sheet, stating the types of work & their significance. From that sheet, I'm using either vlookup, filter, xlookup.Using gforms for inputting my data.
=ARRAYFORMULA(IFS(ROW(D:D)=1,"Significance",A:A="","",TRUE,VLOOKUP(D:D,Reference!$A:$B,2,0)))
I'm trying to nest an IF function inside a vlookup to filter data based on a cell in another sheet.
The ideal functionality would be for the cell to return data if it meets a specific criteria otherwise leave it blank.
This is what I have so far:
=IFERROR(vlookup(E2,IF('internal_all[Paste Here]'!H3="Indexable",'internal_all[Paste Here]'!A:AB,""),28,0))
Currently, it doesn't work but instead I get an error "VLOOKUP equates to an out of bounds range".
Any help would be much appreciated.
Here's a copy of my gsheet: https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/13mcOOHIP6-YQKOhE_LHnmu3-7bSNKzvCSTVZ5BnTxPA/edit#gid=0
Here's an example of the error I'm running into:
If I understand your question correctly...Then all you would need to change is where you put the if. Including it in the Vlookup will mess with the size of range ie. A:AB has a size of 28 but "" has a size of 0. I would also change your formula to an array so you don't have 6000+ formulas calculating. Finally, I would add an array_constrain to stop the array at the end of your dataset. Here is a working example:
=Array_Constrain(ArrayFormula(IF('internal_all [Paste Here]'!B2:B="Indexable",vlookup(E2:E,'internal_all [Paste Here]'!A2:AB,28,0),"")),CountIf(A2:A,"<>"),1)
I also included that formula in H2 of your "internal links point to canonicalised URLs" tab. Good luck!
Edit:
After looking at the setup again, this updated formula should work.
=Array_Constrain(ArrayFormula(if(VLOOKUP(E2:E,'internal_all [Paste Here]'!A:B,2)="Indexable",vlookup(E2:E,'internal_all [Paste Here]'!A2:AB,28,0),)),CountIf(A2:A,"<>"),1)
Also, here is an updated Indexability formula for column G
=Array_Constrain(ArrayFormula(IFERROR(vlookup(G2:G,'internal_all [Paste Here]'!A:B,2,0))),CountIf(A2:A,"<>"),1)
My issue is that I need to reference a cell (A1) which will either be the name of a state that can be found in column L, or it can be "All States" which I then want to include all results of column L. I can't work out how to include this.
=SUMPRODUCT(--(IF(A1="All States",Data!$L:$L,Data!$L:$L=A1)),Data!Q:Q)
I want to add a bunch more criteria based on the above so I don’t want to go down the route of imbedding the sumproduct in an if function because the formula will quickly become too unweildy.
You have a lot of choices. Using your initial formula I would tweak it to
(A) =SUMPRODUCT((IF($A$1="All States",1,($L$2:$L$11=$A$1)))*($Q$2:$Q$11))
But this would need to be entered as an array formula so instead of just confirming with ENTER, you need CONTROL+SHIFT+ENTER. You will know you have done it right when { } show up around your formula. Note that they cannot be added manually.
A non array type formula which would be faster I believe would be to look at your two options. You are either dealing with a single state or all states. Set up an IF check to determine if you need to sum all of column Q, or if you need to find a single value from column Q. I used the following formula:
(B) =IF(A1="all states",SUM($Q$2:$Q$11),INDEX($Q$2:$Q$11,MATCH($A$1,$L$2:$L$11,0)))
A bit of a cheat but but simplifies things, is to add a final state to the bottom of your list in L and call is "All States". In the corresponding row in Q place =sum(First Cell:Last Cell). If you do that then you can use the following formula:
(C) =SUMPRODUCT(($L$2:$L$12=$A$1)*($Q$2:$Q$12))
That are other options out there as well, just thought I would show some options.
The answers in topics with similar titles haven't given me much of a resolution to my particular problem, but possibly I am not asking the right question. It might help knowing I'm an absolute noob when it comes to spreadsheets, so finding my way around is next to nil.
Currently I can set a basic function in the first cell A1 =ROW()
Simple right? Well now here comes the complication. If I click on the bottom right of the cell and start dragging I can then apply that very same function to a whole range of cells. Let's say I apply it from A1:A10. Every cell within this group now has the same function.
Hooray! We did it, right? I applied a function to a range of cells each with their own output. But wait, if I then go back to the original cell and change its formula none of the other cells change with it. GRRRRR!!!!
There are a couple of fixes I've come up with but don't necessarily know how to implement. The first is to have every cell link back to the original cell and reference its function. This would be useful if I wanted to randomly scatter dependent cells about the document. The other would be much more useful in an orderly group where you know the exact dimensions by specifying in the original cell the size of the array you want to apply the function to.
With that said, let me hear your thoughts.
The closest I've come to an answer is to use FORMULA() which returns the formula used by a cell as text. Unfortunately all answers on evaluating the text resort to scripting. How strange! I thought something like this would be common. Might as well get to scripting.
Hold on, I may have spoke too soon. An array can be made with =MUNIT(), but it's only square. Drats!
Ok... I'm hoping the zebra stripes will eventually become its own answer unless someone else beats me to it. So a simple array can be made with ={1,2;3,4} where commas separate values by column and semicolons for values by row except to generate it you have to press Control+Shift+Enter (because reasons?). I'm thinking now that I'll need to have functions that can generate lists of values based on a single function for each row, and pray that it'll work. So, back to looking. (Wow this is taking forever)
The way I was hypothesizing can't even generate a 1x1, e.g., ={ROW()} returns Err:512 which is a formula overflow.
Alright, in summary so far I've narrowed down the two options,
1) link every cell to the original formula
2) populate an array with a single formula
each with their own incomplete answer,
a) use FORMULA() to return the formula of a cell as text
b) create a hypothetical array like so ={LIST_OF_VALUES()}
These both require a strange form of the nonexistent EVALUATE() function to 'function' correctly. Isn't that fun?
Google Sheets handles case b by allowing ={ROW()}Control+Shift+Enter to generate =ArrayFormula({ROW()}). Working with the general case of any sized array being filled with a single function doesn't exist in the world of spreadsheets it seems. That's very saddening because I can't think of a much better tool for what I want to do. Copy paste it is until I need to use macros.
Depending on your specific use case, creating a user-defined function may help:
use the Basic IDE to create your function;
apply it to any cells on any sheet;
modifying the Basic code will affect all cells where the function is used.
I've elaborated the steps in an answer on superuser.
Sure, you could write some complex code to update functions, but wouldn't the easy way be just to drag it to the same range of cells the same way you did before? It should properly overwrite the existing code in there, and if it doesn't, you can just as easily delete the outdated code and drag the new code in.
Probably the best approach is to simply drag the amended formula over the range of cells (as advised by OldBunny2800). This is less error prone and easier to maintain than a custom macro.
Another option would be to use an array function. Then you only have to edit the function once, and the same edit will be automatically applied to the whole range of cells in that array function.
I have an IF statement that says if AG, AL, AJ all have Yes in the cell then I want it to go to a lookup table to retrieve a result. I then want it to take that result and perform a calculation but I don't know how to write it.
If one of the three cells has a no in it, then I just want it to return the value in cell AK
Here is an example:
IF(AG="Yes", AI="Yes", AJ="Yes"), VLOOKUP(Payout Table!A:B,201, 2,True), (O7*H17*AK) False=AK
This is my first time trying to do this so if you can recommend a link I can go to too better understand the correct formula that would be great.
What you want here is the AND function. AND returns TRUE if all of its own arguments are TRUE. ie:
=IF(AND(AG1="Yes", AI1="Yes", AJ1="Yes"), VLOOKUP(Payout Table!A:B,201, 2,True)*(O7*H17*AK), AK1)
Note also that I have fixed your formula for making the VLOOKUP amount multiply against your other cells, and also that I have added row references to what you had there ("AG" is not a valid cell reference; replace "AG1" with the appropriate row number you want to check against).
You need to use AND as well as change the order of your VLOOKUP like below:
=IF(AND(AG="Yes",AI="Yes",AJ="Yes"),VLOOKUP(201,Payout Table!A:B, 2,True)*(O7*H17*AK), AK1)
