I am trying to simplify a table that shows the amount of time that people are working on certain jobs and wanting to present the dataset in a table that only shows the values greater than zero.
The image below shows how the table currently looks, where each person has a % of their time allocated to 1 of 5 jobs across columns.
I am trying to create a table that looks like the below, where it only shows the jobs that each person is working on, and excludes the ones where they have no % of their time allocated.
Wondering if I am going about this in the wrong fashion, any help greatly appreciated!
Thanks
I have been tryin to use an index match function with some if logic for values greater than zero but have been only able to get the first value greater than zero to populate.

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 have a simple django project and I am trying to keep track of ranks for certain objects to see how they change over time. For example, what was the rank of US GDP (compared to other countries) over last 3 years. Below is the postgres db structure I am working with:
Below is what I am trying to achieve:
What I am finding challenging is that the previous period value may or may not exist and it's possible that even the entity may or may not be in the pervious period. Period can be year, quarter or months but for a specific record it can be either of one and stays consistently same for all the years for that record.
Can someone guide me in the right direction to write a query to achieve those tables? I am trying to avoid writing heavy forloop queries because there may be 100s of entities and many years of data.
So far I have only been able to achieve the below output:
I am just trying to figure out how to use annotate to fetch previous period values and ranks but I am pretty much stuck.
I'm working on a Google Sheet Project that will move data from one page to another. I need the formula to search a range ( 'Booth Placement'!O2:O1000=133), if a cell is equal to the set value it will then write the data from the same row 'Booth Placement'!A2:A1000.
I know the IF can only work for one column and not a range spanning multiple columns. What should I switch the formula below?
=IF('Booth Placement'!O2:O1000=133,'Booth Placement'!A2:A1000,"")
I am trying to keep this formula as simple as possible since I will have to change the value it is searching for on each cell on the second page. I've googled this for two days and I'm pretty sure I'm just missing the obvious. Any/All Help is appreciated.
try:
=FILTER('Booth Placement'!A2:A1000; 'Booth Placement'!O2:O1000=133)
or:
=ARRAYFORMULA(IF('Booth Placement'!O2:O1000=133; 'Booth Placement'!A2:A1000; ))
I have a formula. It works - but feels like it could be made much simpler.
I have many departments across several columns. Each row has an item that we're tracking and each column has a status text that changes as we do the work.
'queue' - it's in line waiting to be done and weighs down the average
'active' - in process and provides a half value across the average
'done', 'ok'd', 'rcvd' - finished and contributes to the final average
'none' - denotes a department that's inactive on this job and should not count in the final average.
The formula is:
=iferror(((ArrayFormula(sum(countif(B3:O3,{"done","ok'd","rcvd"}))))+(countif(B3:O3,"active")/2))/(counta(B3:O3)-(countif(B3:O3,"none"))),)
The formula works but I'm looking to see if there's an easier way to approach it. Would a query or array modification work better in this scenario?
What if I wanted to add other text strings based on syntax for my current application?
Here's a link to a sample sheet with it in context.

EDIT:
As a followup question - how do I get the same thing to work across the columns?
I did some reverse engineering to the solution and can see the formula working across the top of my sheet - but it's giving me an error:
"MMULT has incompatible matrix sizes. Number of columns in first matrix (13) must equal number of rows in second matrix (1)."
Here's the formula I've added (it's also in the linked sheet).
=ARRAYFORMULA(IF(LEN(B4:N4), MMULT(IFERROR(( N(REGEXMATCH(B4:N9, "ok'd|done|ready|rcvd"))+ N(REGEXMATCH(B4:N9, "active"))/2)/MMULT(N(REGEXMATCH(B4:N9, "[^none]")),TRANSPOSE(ROW(B4:B9)^0)), 0), TRANSPOSE(ROW(B4:B9)^0)),))
As a followup question - how do I get the same thing to work across the columns?
=ARRAYFORMULA(TRANSPOSE(IF(LEN(TRANSPOSE(B4:N4)), MMULT(IFERROR((
N(REGEXMATCH(TRANSPOSE(B4:N16), "ok'd|done|ready|rcvd"))+
N(REGEXMATCH(TRANSPOSE(B4:N16), "active"))/2)/MMULT(
N(REGEXMATCH(TRANSPOSE(B4:N16), "[^none]")),
(ROW(B4:B16)^0)), 0),
(ROW(B4:B16)^0)), )))
=ARRAYFORMULA(IF(LEN(B3:B9), MMULT(IFERROR((
N(REGEXMATCH(B3:N9, "ok'd|done|ready|rcvd"))+
N(REGEXMATCH(B3:N9, "active"))/2)/MMULT(
N(REGEXMATCH(B3:N9, "[^none]")),
TRANSPOSE(COLUMN(B3:N3)^0)), 0),
TRANSPOSE(COLUMN(B3:N3)^0)), ))
I'm currently implementing a histogram that will show a very large scale data using Qt and I have some doubts about which data structure(s) I should be using for my problem. I will be displaying the amount of queries received from users of an application and the way I should display is as follows -in a single application that will show different histograms upon clicking different "show me this data etc." buttons-
1) Display the histogram of total queries per every month -4 months of data here, I
kept four variables and incremented them as I caught queries belonging to those months
in the CSV file-
2) Display the histogram of total queries per every single day in a selected month -I was thinking of using 4 QVectors to represent the months for this one, incrementing every element of the vector (day), as I come by that specific day -e.g. the vector represents the month of August and whenever I come across a data with 2011-08-XY , I will increment the (XY + 1)th element of that vector by 1- my second alternative is to use 4 QLinkedList's for the sake of better complexity but I'm not sure if the ways I've come up with are efficient enough and I'm willing to listen to any other idea.
3) Here's where things get a bit complicated. Display the histogram of total queries per every hour in a selected day and month. The data represented is multiplied in a vast manner and I don't know which data structure -or combination of structures- I should use to implement this one. A list of lists perhaps?
Any ideas on my problems at 2) and 3) would be helpful, Thanks in advance.
Actually, it shouldn't be too unmanageable to always do queries per hour. Assuming that the number of queries per hour is never greater than the maximum int value, that's only 24 ints per day = 32 bits or 64 depending on your machine. Assuming 32 bits, then you could get up to 28 years worth of data per MB.
There's no need to transfer the month/year - your program can work that out. Just assign hour 0 to the earliest point in your data, which you keep as a constant, then work out the date based on hours passed since then.
This avoids having to have a list of lists or anything fancy - just use an array where each address contains the number of hours since hour 0, and the number of queries for that hour.
Why don't you simply use a classical database?
When you start asking these kind of question I think it is a good time to consider a more robust structure.There are multiple data structures implemented inside any DB, optimized either for different access type. You should considerate at least lookup, insertion, deletion, range queries. There is no structure which is better than the others in all costs, so there is always a trade-off.
Qt has some database classes you can use. I never used the Qt SQL library, but I think you should give it a shot. Fortunately, there is a Qt SQL programming guide at the end of the page linked.
