Google Sheets: Sum a Value Range Within a Specified Time Frame - if-statement

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!

Google sheets - How to compare a formula within a cell with a string to spot changes in the formula?

I help a small business with an application which is entirely run from google sheets and google forms. The issue is that from time to time the business owner will go into the sheet and delete rows of old data. I've noticed that as a result, some of the formulas will change the row which they are looking at. This is despite me using explicit cell references such as $A$1 for example.
So what I would like to do, is use somehow compare the cell which contains the formula, with a string of what the formula should be, then return a value if the formula matches. I had thought an =If function would solve this but so far I am not having any luck.
This is what I have used so far:
Lets say cell A1 contains the formula I want to check and the formula is (this works fine): =FILTER(Dashboard!A2:A, Dashboard!C2:C1 = TODAY())*
I am using =IF(A1="=FILTER(Dashboard!A2:A, Dashboard!C2:C*1 = TODAY())",True,False)
I am expecting the function to compare the value of A1 with my string and return the value True. If the formula does not match the string it should return the value False.
I currently am returning the value of False despite the formula and string being an exact match. I assume this is because my =If statement is looking at the value returned by the =Filter function rather than the formula itself.
Any help would be appreciated.
thanks

You could just use INDIRECT() in the place of explicit cell ($A$1) reference you mentioned and that should solve the problem of formulas going haywire due to rows deletion in Form Responses tab. Please do test it out.
INDIRECT("Sheet!"&A1)
INDIRECT("A1")

Extract list from range Google Sheets

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<>""),""))

Searching within the result of a vlookup using a range of values and parsing text

MY GOAL:
parse a MM/DD date from the result of a vlookup so that it can be used in a project plan
BACKGROUND:
The vlookup result contains multiple values separated by a "•" (I don't need all of them)
The value I'm looking to parse is not always in the same location in the vlookup result (otherwise I could use the RIGHT formula)
There is a finite number of the values I'm looking to retrieve (and I know them already)
The value that I'm looking to retrieve contains some text with a date range; I only want the first four values in the date range (MM/DD)
I'd like to achieve all this with a single formula with the result in a single cell
CURRENT FORMULA
The formula that I've been working on that is not working is:
=ARRAYFORMULA(if(iserror(search(Iterations!D2:D7,(VLOOKUP(A2,'Results {2596503}'!$C$2:$L$183,3)))),,))

I've set up a sheet called "Erik Help" with the following formulas in B2 ad C2:
=ArrayFormula(IF(A2:A="","",MID(VLOOKUP(A2:A,data!A2:B,2,FALSE),FIND(REGEXEXTRACT(VLOOKUP(A2:A,data!A2:B,2,FALSE),"[0-9]-[0-9]"),VLOOKUP(A2:A,data!A2:B,2,FALSE))-4,5)))
and
=ArrayFormula(IF(A2:A="","",MID(VLOOKUP(A2:A,data!A2:B,2,FALSE),FIND(REGEXEXTRACT(VLOOKUP(A2:A,data!A2:B,2,FALSE),"[0-9]-[0-9]"),VLOOKUP(A2:A,data!A2:B,2,FALSE))+2,5)))
respectively.
They may be longer than actually needed, but you did not share realistic results in Column B or list which symbols may appear in Column B other than in the date; so I tried to account for either a hyphen or a forward slash possibly appearing in Column B in places other than within the date span.
Your analytics sheet also shows a formula that is sorting the results from data!A:A. So even though in your example the original data order happens to be the same as in analytics!A:A, that is not a given (again, based on your formula). Therefore, the VLOOKUP is also necessary.
You did not indicate whether you need to further use these returned date-snippets in calculations, or whether you just need to view them. So the results generated in "Erik Help" are text.
If you want usable numbers/dates, you add further issues that would need to be controlled for in the formula, because you'll only be extracting month and day, not year. That's fine right now. But what about when the date range to be extracted is "12/28-01/13"? If you simply make these values/dates, they will both be assigned to the current year. So the end date here will wind up being earlier than the start date.
Because of this, I've added a second sheet, "Erik Help 2," which contains extended formulas to account for these cases while still returning the date format you want as actual dates which can be used in calculations.

EDIT
(following your note on the sheet: "I would like to remove col b altogether and nest in the formulas in col c and d")
You can adjust the range B2:B by replacing it with your already existing formula in B2.
The new adjusted formula will become
=ArrayFormula(IFNA(SPLIT(REGEXEXTRACT(VLOOKUP(ARRAYFORMULA(sort(unique(data!A2:A))),data!$A$1:$C,2),"\d+\/\d+-\d+\/\d+"),"-")))
Original answer
You can use the following formula:
=ArrayFormula(IFNA(SPLIT(REGEXEXTRACT(B2:B,"\d{2}\/\d{2}-\d{2}\/\d{2}"),"-")))
Make sure you format the results as Date.
(Please adjust ranges to your needs)

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:

Formula Moving Data To Second Page If Criteria in Range is Met

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; ))
