I have some data spread through different cells. Some cells have comma separated values.
I have included an example that can be seen in the link.
I need to match the data with cell number and show them in the results section as in the example sheet.
How can I achieve this outcome?
Try:
=ARRAYFORMULA(SPLIT(FLATTEN(QUERY(TRANSPOSE(REPT(
IF(A2:O3="",,A1:O1&"×"), LEN(IFERROR(
REGEXREPLACE(A2:O3, "[0-9]+", )))+1)),,9^9)), "×"))

I have a list of participants in column A. A full employee list in column B. I want to get the list of non-participants in column C. Basically 'B-A' but in list form.
'January' is the participants list:
try:
=FILTER(A:A; NOT(COUNTIF(B:B; A:A)))
It is always an added challenge to write formulas when we don't have access to actual date. But based on what I can see, try this formula in the top cell of any empty column:
=ArrayFormula({"My Header"; FILTER(R2:R,ISERROR(VLOOKUP(TRIM(R2:R),TRIM(T2:T),1,FALSE)))})
You can change "My Header" to something meaningful.
The next part means "FILTER in anything in the range R2:R that cannot be found [i.e., ISERROR(VLOOKUP(...))] in T2:T."
TRIM is used just to account for any accidental/stray spaces that may occur in either list, since that would result in no match if one or the other had extra space.
If this does not do what you expect, please share a link to a sample spreadsheet.
I have some table data in which I'd like to sum all the values in a specific column of all rows where column A contains string A and/or column B contains string B. How can I achieve this?
This works for one criterium:
=SUM(FILTER(G:G,REGEXMATCH(F:F,"stringA")))
I tried this, but it didn't work:
=SUM(FILTER(G:G,OR(ISTEXT(REGEXMATCH(F:F,"stringA")),ISTEXT(REGEXMATCH(C:C,"stringB")))))
Please try:
=SUM(FILTER(G:G,REGEXMATCH(F:F,"stringA")+REGEXMATCH(C:C,"stringB")))
+ works for or logic. ISTEXT is not needed because REGEXMATCH gives true or false.
OR does not work because filter is an arrayformula, use + in array formulas.
=SUM(FILTER(G:G,REGEXMATCH(F:F&C:C,"stringA|stringB")))
OR is denoted by |
EDIT Added &C:C to denote different Columns
I want to search for certain values in a column and return specific words based on those values.
In the screenshot below, I'd like rows B-D to function as one. So only return "Pumpkin Pie", "Cookies", and "Rice". The rest will fall into "Other"
=IF(COUNTIF(A2,"Pumpkin")>0,"PumpkinPie",IF(COUNTIF(A2,"Cookies")>0,"Cookies",IF(COUNTIF(A2,"Rice")>0,"Rice","Other")))
I'm trying to fuzzy match two columns in google sheets, i've tried numerous formulas but I think it's going to come down to a script to help out.
I have a column with product ID's e.g.
E20067
and then I have another sheet with another column which has image url's relating to this product code such as
http://wholesale.test.com/product/E20067/web_images/E20067.jpg
http://wholesale.test.com/product/E20067/high_res/E20067.jpg
http://wholesale.test.com/product/E20067/high_res/E20067-2.jpg
What I'm wanting to do is "fuzzy" match both of these columns for their product ID, and then create a new column for each match. So it would have the product ID then on the same row in multiple columns each product image URL - like the image below:
Is there a way to do this in google sheets using a script or a formula?
In Google sheets there are a few powerful 'regex' formulas.
Suppose, you have ID list in column A, and URL list in column B
Then use formula:
=REGEXEXTRACT(B1,JOIN("|",$A$1:$A$3))
It will match one of ID's. Drag the formula down to see the result as in picture above.

Old thread but, in case you find yourself here, search for my Google Sheets add-on called Flookup. It should do exactly what you want.
For this case, you can use this function:
Flookup (lookupValue, tableArray, lookupCol, indexNum, threshold, [rank], [range])
The parameter details are:
lookupValue: the value you're looking up
tableArray: the table you want to search
lookupCol: the column you want to search
indexNum: the column you want data to be returned from
threshold: the percentage similarity below which data shouldn't be returned
rank: the nth best match (i.e. if the first one isn't to your liking)
range: choose to return the percentage similarity or row number for each match
You can find out more at the official website (examples and such).
Please note that, whereas the OP appears to want the whole list of possible matches, Flookup will only return one result at a time.
Flookup can now return a list of all possible matches through its LRM mode.
Try the following. I am assuming the product codes are in Sheet1 and the URLs are in Sheet2. Both in column A:
=iferror(transpose(FILTER(Sheet2!$A$2:$A,Search("*"& A2 &"*",Sheet2!$A$2:$A))))
Copy down.
If you want to show the image instead of the url try:
=arrayformula(image(iferror(transpose(FILTER(Sheet2!$A$2:$A,Search("*"& A2 &"*",Sheet2!$A$2:$A))))))
In one spreadsheet I have 3 columns with a first and last name of a person combined. In the 2nd spreadsheet, I have column a = first name and column b = last name.
I want to know which names in spreadsheet one cannot be found in spreadsheet two. I also need to verify the data to make sure that the formula was accurate on finding the correct lookup.
Do I have to combine my columns in spreadsheet 2 to make the first and last name in the same column to make this work?
Which formula would you use for either scenario?
Use this:
=ISNA(MATCH($A1&" "&$B1,Sheet2!$A:$A,FALSE)))
Where (in order):
A1 is the first name column in Sheet1
B1 is the last name column in Sheet1
Sheet2 is the sheet that has the data stored as names separately
$A:$A is the rows that have the two names together
FALSE is because it's an exact match
This will return FALSE if the element does not exist, and TRUE if it does
You can also use:
=VLOOKUP($A1&" "&$B1,Sheet2!$A:$D,3,FALSE)
If you want to retrieve data for a match.
Finally, if you need to do your lookups the other way, take a look at this thread for some ideas on how to split the string into two pieces.
