Extract list from range Google Sheets - list

I have some data from workplaces with some different work areas, I need to extract a list for each workplace with their corresponding availables working areas, I have an example of some kind of attempt really close what I wanted. I use this formula but with more data will be long time to do it =IF(D2=$G$1, "Yes", "No"). I want to do it more automatic with some formulas but I don't know where to start.

Give a try on below formula. Put the formula to G1 cell then drag down as needed.
=TRANSPOSE(IFERROR(FILTER($D$2:$D$16,$A$2:$A$16=F2,$D$2:$D$16<>""),""))

Google Sheets: Sum a Value Range Within a Specified Time Frame

I'm trying to sum a range of values, within a given time frame. The time frame could be x hours, or y days, etc. An example:
So for each row, I need to sum the last hours or days as specified in cells C2:E2, which are numeric (just added formatting to show the text). Note that the datetime values do not follow any interval pattern, but are always sequential.
Although I've tried searching SO, and via Google, I haven't been able to find a way to do this.
Any suggestions would be very welcome.
[Edit]
I've added to a link to an example sheet of what I'm trying to do... pls just ask if I can add any further info!
Test Sum By Time
try:
=SUMIFS(B3:B, A3:A, ">="&NOW()-1)
=SUMIFS(B3:B, A3:A, ">="&NOW()-7)
In Google sheets, use the =TODAY() code to for today's date and put this in another cell. You could always create a new sheet (which we will call sheet3) which you hide afterwards. Let's imagine you put this in cell A1.
You can use the =IMPORTRANGE("the google sheets website link", "Sheet Name!A3:A31" to insert the values. Let's imagine you import this into B3:B31. In C3, you put =IF(REGEXMATCH(B3, A1), 1, 0).
You continue this in each cell from B4:B31, each time changing "B3" to the current row number. Then we can use the =SUM(C3:C31) code to count how many meet this condition. Let's imagine you put this in A2.
Now back to the original sheet. Use `=IMPORTRANGE("the google sheets website link", "sheet3!A2" in the cell C3.
For the other 2, I don't know, sorry!

Nested IF function inside a vlookup for google sheets

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)

How to apply conditional formatting (if cell is in another range) to a range of cells

So I have searched through several different questions related to this. None of them seem to be asking exactly what I'm looking for and none of the solutions I've found have worked for me thus far.
I have several columns of data (Player names) where each column's values are generated from a formula in the 2nd row of that column. The 1st row is a header (Game name). This whole range is the collection of which players are willing to play which games. These are columns D-J(ish, the list is dynamically generated with another formula, based on form responses)
I have another range of data where the 1st column is the Player and the 2nd is the player's PREFERRED game. This data is also generated with a formula based on form responses. These are columns A-B.
Here's what I'm trying to do
Using conditional formatting in columns D-J, I want to highlight the player's name if this game (in row 1 of this column) is their preferred game (range A2:B).
I've tried several different variations of VLOOKUPS, MATCHES, and FILTERS in the conditional formatting, but so far nothing has worked. The problem I run into every time is that I can't figure out how to reference the cell that the formatting is applying to, but still have it reference each individual cell over the whole range.
I know I could do this if I applied an individual conditional formatting to each individual cell. However that is a very time consuming and inelegant solution to this issue considering I'm expecting my data range to be much larger in the future. I need a conditional formatting formula that will work across the whole range or , at the very least, for an entire column.
This is a mock of what I'm trying to accomplish:
This is a link to a mock of my sheet so that you can clearly see the data layout and specific formulas I'm using:
https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1wy1T6dWJwNC_EfdCAbkuxtkJH7y4Cg3x4IyEk6R567M/edit?usp=sharing
use:
=REGEXMATCH(D3, TEXTJOIN("|", 1, FILTER($A$3:$A, $B$3:$B=D$2)))

How can I resolve INDEX MATCH errors caused by discrepancies in the spelling of names across multiple data sources?

I've set up a Google Sheets workbook that synthesizes data from a few different sources via manual input, IMPORTHTML and IMPORTRANGE. Once the data is populated, I'm using INDEX MATCH to filter and compare the information and to RANK each data set.
Since I have multiple data inputs, I'm running into a persistent issue of names not being written exactly the same between sources, even though they're the same person. First names are the primary culprit (i.e. Mary Lou vs Marylou vs Mary-Lou vs Mary Louise) but some last names with special symbols (umlauts, accents, tildes) are also causing errors. When Sheets can't recognize a match, the INDEX MATCH and RANK functions both break down.
I'm wondering how to better unify the data automatically so my Sheet understands that each occurrence is actually the same person (or "value").
Since you can't edit the results of an IMPORTHTML directly, I've set up "helper columns" and used functions like TRIM and SPLIT to try and fix instances as I go, but it seems like there must be a simpler path.
It feels like IFS could work but I can't figure how to integrate it. Also thinking this may require a script, which I'm just beginning to study.
Here's a simplified example of what I'm trying to achieve and the corresponding errors: Sample Spreadsheet
The first tab is attempting to pull and RANK data from tabs 2 and 3. Sample formulas from the Summary tab, row 3 (Amelia Rose):
Cell B3: =INDEX('Q1 Sales'!B:B, MATCH(A3,'Q1 Sales'!A:A,0))
Cell C3: =RANK(B3,$B$2:B,1)
Cell D3: =INDEX('Q2 Sales'!B:B, MATCH(A3,'Q2 Sales'!A:A,0))
Cell E3: =RANK(D3,$D$2:D,1)
I'd be grateful for any insight on how to best index 'Q2Sales'!B3 as the correct value for 'Summary'!D3. Thanks in advance - the thoughtful answers on Stack Overflow have gotten me this far!
to counter every possible scenario do it like this:
=ARRAYFORMULA(IFERROR(VLOOKUP(LOWER(REGEXREPLACE(A2:A, "-|\s", )),
{REGEXEXTRACT(LOWER(REGEXREPLACE('Q2 Sales'!A2:A, "-|\s", )),
TEXTJOIN("|", 1, LOWER(REGEXREPLACE(A2:A, "-|\s", )))), 'Q2 Sales'!B2:B}, 2, 0)))

Excel VBA help - run a series of regex find and replaces

I have a worksheet that has become very complex. On it, there is a sheet in which a user will paste data about once every other day. The data will always be in the same format, and is provided to us in an exact way only. Once pasted in, I need a way for a very average user of excel to be able to press a button (or key combo, or whatever) and excel will run a series of about 8-10 regex find and replaces. All of these will be on column A of the data. Once those are all run, a simple formula would be run on every cell C2 and below in column C. Those columns should be reduced by 80% - =C2*.8
This should all be done with minimal user input if possible.
Would anybody much more versed in regex or excel know a better direction for me to look for a proper start? What resources would be recommended to best accomplish this?
If you're multiplying by some factor, then regexp substitution will be overkill. Excel is very good at multiplying an array of numbers by 0.8.
Search for "Excel paste factor" and you'll get an easy explanation, such as this one.
I might record a macro for your less-experienced users and hope that the previous user pasted the numbers in with absolute perfection.
