I have a list of institutions with ID's and I have the same list but not in the same order as this image:
So I don't have it in the same order the next step is that this institutions have different areas and some institutes have some others don't. Like this list:
I have this formula =IF(ISNUMBER(MATCH(C$1,$J2:$O2,0)),"Found","Not Found") that helps me to look for the area in that row but is not in the same order this gives me errors, so I would like to look for the institute name in the range and look for the areas available in that institution row:
Here is the image of the error:
You can see in the image that the founds and not founds are not correct
It can be achieved using a helper table where you first sort your J2:Q14 range using
=SORT(J2:Q14,1,1)
You then use the following in cell C2
=IFERROR(IF(HLOOKUP(C$1,$J17:$Q$29,1,0)=C$1,"Fount",),"NOT")
Drag the cell down and right to fill all other cells.
(Of course the sorted table can be in another sheet altogether)

so I'm working in the Ab Initio GDE and got a specific set of IDs in different columns, that if I put them together should equal the levels of a tree structure.
the two columns are as follows:
enter image description here
Both IDs describe operators (each with a specific ID#). The TARGET_ID is the root while the SOURCE_ID is the followed up operator one Level under the previous one.
So the tree structure looks like this: Tree structure
I can't seem to find a way in the GDE to reference the previous read value in these columns, when transforming the data.
this data is sorted by a timestamp key because for each timestamp there is one tree structure.
After sort component I added a Levels column with Nulls to get the goal format.
My data consists of Time column, the two ID columns and the level column now.
I have tried partitioning the data for each SOURCE_ID value, so all entries of that partitioning has to be the next iterated level.
I can't seem to get the Code in "Text View" right, with the temp_level that I iterate up and the function which loads the previous or next entry value (I read it was the metacomp-function but I cant seem to find example implementation/code).
Can someone help me on how to solve this? Maybe I'm thinking too complicated and a different combination of components can do the trick as well.
Thanks in advance everyone
I have one table of data (A) with data values, and a second table (B) which serves as a key that categorises/groups those entries into categories.
I am trying to write a cell formula that will list the category that corresponds to the data value in (A).
Some of the entries in the data table are empty, i.e. have no input data.
Case in point:
A13 has an empty cell, according to table (B), I specifically want the blank cell to be categorised as "Other". At the moment the sheet thinks cells like these are "null" and not "blank" and therefore returns #N/A.
I have tried adding an IFERROR function, which works at this stage but does not suit the scenario where a new data entry is entered as that will initially show as "Other" too when it should be something else, so I want to avoid using:
=IFERROR(INDEX(D2:D13,MATCH(A2:A13,E2:E13,0)),"Other")
Current cell formula for col B:
=INDEX(D2:D13,MATCH(A2:A13,E2:E13,0))
Please can you help? I've found plenty of articles on how to ignore blank/empty cells, but nothing to include them.
Many thanks!

use ifna like:
=IFNA(INDEX(D2:D13, MATCH(A2:A13, E2:E13, 0)))
update:
=INDEX(IF(A2:A13="",,IFERROR(INDEX(D2:D13,MATCH(A2:A13,E2:E13,0)),"Other")))
I've got lots of data in a Google sheet (I do not have Excel or Windows as I am on a Chromebook) and I want to use one column to filter out cells which contain two different words. The column of data might contain various values.
Example
Cell 1 Acme - Main - Location
Cell 2 Acme - Secondary - Location
Cell 3 Acme - Location - Main
Sticking with the above example, I would like to use my data filters set at the column headers to only show me cells where it matches Acme and Main.
What is the best way of doing this, please?
I tried using the Text Contains option in the data filter but I'm not sure how to insert both words as something to filter by, it seems to only filter the words exactly how they are typed. So if I type in Acme Main into the filter it will work for some cells which are in that exact order.
if the order of "acme main" combo does not matter you could use:
=REGEXMATCH(A1:A, "Acme(.+)Main|Main(.+)Acme")
if you also want it by any chance case-insensitive use:
=REGEXMATCH(LOWER(A1:A), "acme(.+)main|main(.+)acme")
In the filter options, use this custom formula
=regexmatch(A1:A, "Acme(.+)Main")
and see if that works?
Change column reference to suit.
I'm using the page below a POS sales list. Here the user can use the barcode pistol and pass the article and the code is translated into the item no.
The problem is when they use the pistol and end to pick a item and want to pass to next one the line go automatically to the first column (Item type) and my goal was to force to go into the second column (Item no), because the Item type is by default the type "product".
Only change the order of columns of Item no to Item product is not enough in this case.
Since ACTIVATE is not supported for controls in RTC.
Not many good options here.
Try using QuickEntry Property. Set it to false for all controls on subpage except No..
Create custom page with as less fields as possible, use it as buffer to scan all items and create sales lines upon closing of this new page. You can implement desired behavior on this page and keep original page almost unmodified
Create add-in that will intercept scanner output somehow.
I am creating an excel sheet with following Data Validation drop down list.
NA
Done
(add some formula here)
Basically, i will be able to select either plain text "NA"/ "Done" from the dropdown list. But sometimes, I want the user to be able to calculate some values based on the cell respective to the row selected so, I want to have one formula as a choice inside the data validation dropdown list. Is this possible?
Data Validation List Source
When I click on Formulae option, it should execute the formula with respect to the cells in that Row
But currently, the formula that i put in doesn't execute, instead it will just show the whole formula in the cell when activated.
1)How can i make it so that when i select the formula from data validation list, it will execute it instead of filling up the cell with it?
2)How do i set the formula so that it will be using the cell from the current Row? (for example, if i am using the data validation List in N60, the formula should adapt itself to use the cell (let's say A60?).
I may not be able to help with the second part, but I was seeking an answer to the first and discovered a solution/workaround using Name Manager.
First, in Formula > Name Manager, create a new reference (the "refers to" will contain whatever formula you are wishing to ultimately display in the validation list. For this example, we use the formula reference "=IF($H54=..." and Name it "UniqueName"
Now, we go into Data Validation, Select List, and input the three items we want displayed in the list, with an equals sign preceding our newly named reference: ie. "NA,Done,=UniqueName"
Note: You can't start with the =UniqueName or validation will try to read it all as a formula and fail.
This method will allow the user to display "NA", "Done", or "=UniqueName" in the cell; if "=UniqueName" is selected, the cell itself will interpret this as a formula and execute it accordingly, displaying the results of "=IF($H54=...", or whateverelse you have designated to use as a named formula.
If it's too late for yours, I hope this helps someone else who may face a similar problem.
While I think I know what you're trying to say. Why don't you just use an IF formula to evaluate everything instead of selecting a drop down for every row manually. You already had it partially solved using IF. Just need to add the criteria for a "Done" and an "NA"
=if(A1="date","Done",if(A1<"date","NA",if(something else until you have all your catergories))
Just going to piggyback off of Mark's response.
If you really needed your named formula to be the first selection in the list, you can setup your list with a leading comma like so:
,=UniqueName,NA,Done
That worked out for my use, and there was no null item listed in the Data Validation drop down. Hope that helps!
