I'm able to dynamically select a 1-dimensional array using the header name instead of a column letter.
=query(A:J, "select "&substitute(address(1,match("Header2",A1:J1,0,4),"1","")&"")
Is it possible to do this with a 2-dimensional array? So instead of selecting B:C, I would select Header2 : Header3?
I've tried using a couple variations of concat operator without success.
=query(A:J, "select "&substitute(address(1,match("Header2",A1:J1,0,4),"1","")&" "&:&" "&substitute(address(1,match("Header3",A1:J1,0,4),"1","")&"")
If it is useful or presents a possible workaround, the columns in question will always stay adjacent to each other. Header1 next to Header2 next to Header3, etc. However, Header1 could be in any column.
transpose, select headers, transpose back:
=TRANSPOSE(QUERY(TRANSPOSE(A:J), "where Col1 matches 'Header2|Header3|Header4'"))
or:
=FILTER(A:J, REGEXMATCH(A1:J1, "Header2|Header3|Header4"))
or:
=INDEX(INDIRECT(ADDRESS(1, MATCH("Header2", 1:1, ))&":"&
ADDRESS(ROWS(A:A), MATCH("Header4", 1:1, ))))
You seem to have a missing ) at the end of the match.
Once fixed, you can expand your solution to add other headers like this:
=query(A:J, "select "
&substitute(address(1,match("Header2",A1:J1,0),4),"1","")&","
&substitute(address(1,match("Header3",A1:J1,0),4),"1","")&","
&substitute(address(1,match("Header4",A1:J1,0),4),"1","")&"
")

in my Google sheet table I have the first list with summary of invoices which are then separated to 4 lists according to parameters (manually). I need to know about all invoices from the first list, on which category/list they are.
So for example - lists: Alphabet, abc, def, mno, xyz. In Alphabet is column "list".
How to write function which found invoice on another list according to ID (column B) from Alphabet and write name of the correct list to column "list". I tried to write this function using IF, match, etc. But I still don't have solution. Can you help me please? Sorry for my English :-)
So here is an example which you could adapt. In columns E:H on the first sheet (and I could hide these columns later, starting in row2 and dragging down as needed, I put the following formulas:
=IF(LEN(iferror(query(abc!$A$2:$A,"select A where A='" & $A2 &"'"),""))>0,"abc","")
=IF(LEN(iferror(query(def!$A$2:$A,"select A where A='" & $A2 &"'"),""))>0,"def","")
=IF(LEN(iferror(query(mno!$A$2:$A,"select A where A='" & $A2 &"'"),""))>0,"mno","")
=IF(LEN(iferror(query(xyz!$A$2:$A,"select A where A='" & $A2 &"'"),""))>0,"xyz","")
Probably I could have simplified a little by putting the sheet names in E1:H1, but you get the idea.
Each of these looks for the ID. If the query succeeds, it returns the name of the sheet. If it fails, it returns the empty string.
Now in column B where I actually want the results, I put this formula in B2 and drag to copy as needed.
=if(E2&F2&G2&H2="","nowhere",E2&F2&G2&H2)
It says put those strings together, and if there is nothing there say nowhere, otherwise say the list. If it appears on more than one, and that can really happen, you could use JOIN instead.
I'm trying to replace "x" in each column (excepts for the first 2 columns) with the column name in a table with an unknown number of columns but with at least 2 columns.
I found the code to change one column, but I want it to be dynamic:
#"Ersatt värde" = Table.ReplaceValue(Källa,"x", Table.ColumnNames(Källa){2},Replacer.ReplaceText,{Table.ColumnNames(Källa){2}})
Any ideas on how to solve it?
If I understand correctly, I think you can try either approach below:
#"Ersatt värde" =
let
columnsToTransform = List.Skip(Table.ColumnNames(Källa), 2),
accumulated = List.Accumulate(columnsToTransform, Källa, (tableState as table, columnName as text) =>
Table.ReplaceValue(tableState,"x", columnName, Replacer.ReplaceText, {columnName})
)
in accumulated
or:
#"Ersatt värde" =
let
columnsToTransform = List.Skip(Table.ColumnNames(Källa), 2),
transformations = List.Transform(columnsToTransform, (columnName) => {columnName, each
Replacer.ReplaceText(Text.From(_), "x", columnName)}),
transformed = Table.TransformColumns(Källa, transformations)
in transformed,
Both ways follow a similar approach:
Figure out which columns to do replacements in (i.e. all except the first 2 columns)
Loop over columns determined in previous step and actually do the replacement.
I've used Replacer.ReplaceText since that's what you'd used in your question, but I believe this will replace both partial matches and full matches.
If you only want full matches to be replaced, I think you can use Replacer.ReplaceValue instead.
I am trying to format the information from a column that I am querying and compare that to information in a cell. I have tried to hack together various ways to do this, but I am not a proficient SQL/spreadsheet user.
In COLUMN I there is nothing.
In COLUMN K there is a match on A2.
In COLUMN N there is Information formatted like 31'-40' and 41'+.
I would prefer to use = instead of contains.
The REPLACE Function seems to work when I substitute N for a String and run it on the W3 School Website.
The REGEXREPLACE seems to work on D2. I would expect them to match, but they do not.
COUNT( QUERY( '2019'!A2:P, "select D where I='' and upper(K) contains '" & UPPER(A2) & "' and REPLACE(REPLACE(REPLACE(N, '-', ''), '''', ''), '+','') contains '"& Regexreplace(D2,"[[:punct:]]","") &"' ")
I get 0 matches.
you almost had it, but try like this:
=COUNTA(FILTER(2019!D2:D, I2:I="",
REGEXMATCH(UPPER(K2:K), UPPER(A2)),
REGEXMATCH(UPPER(N2:N), UPPER(D2))))
I have a column tags containing ids in a comma separated list.
I want to search all rows where a given value is in that column.
Say I have two rows where the column tags looks like this:
Row1: 1,2,3,4
Row2: 2,5,3,12
and I want to search for a row where the column contains a 1. I try to do it this way:
$qb = $this->createQueryBuilder('p')
->where(':value IN (p.tags))
->setParameter('value', 1);
I expect it to do something like
SELECT p.* FROM mytable AS p WHERE 1 IN (p.tags)
Executing this in MySQL directly works perfectly. In Doctrine it does not work:
Error: Expected Literal, got 'p'
It works the other way around, though, but this is not what I need:
->where("p.tags IN :value")
I've tried a lot to make this work, but it just won't... Any ideas?
I think you should use the LIKE function for each scenario, as example:
$q = "1";
$qb = $this->createQueryBuilder('p')
->andWhere(
$this->expr()->orX(
$this->expr()->like('p.tags', $this->expr()->literal($q.',%')), // Start with...
$this->expr()->like('p.tags', $this->expr()->literal('%,'.$q.',%')), // In the middle...
$this->expr()->like('p.tags', $this->expr()->literal('%,'.$q)), // End with...
),
);

I'm using the Birt list element to display my data from left to right. (see this question as reference). Eg. List element with a Grid in details and the grid set to inline.
The issue I'm facing now is, that the different rows in the grid are not aligned left to right (probably due to some rows having empty values in some fields). How can I force BIRT to align properly?
EDIT:
This is especially also a problem with longer text that wraps to more than 1 line. The wrapping /multiple lines should be reflected by all list elements in that "row of the output".
Unfortunately, I don't see any chance to accomplish this easily in the generic case - that is, if the number of records is unknown in advance, so you'd need more than one line:
student1 student2 student3
student4 student5
Let's call those line "main lines". One main line can contain up to 3 records. The number 3 may be different in your case, but we can assume it is a constant, since (at least for PDF reports) the paper width is restricted.
A possible solution could work like this:
In your data set, add two columns for each row: MAIN_LINE_NUM and COLUMN_NUM, where the meaning is obvious. For example, this could be done with pure SQL using analytic functions (untested):
select ...,
trunc((row_number() over (order by ...whatever...) - 1) / 3) + 1 as MAIN_LINE_NUM,
mod(row_number() over (order by ...whatever...) - 1), 3) +1 as COLUMN_NUM
from ...
order by ...whatever... -- The order must be the same as above.
Now you know where each record should go.
The next task is to transform the result set into a form where each record looks like this (for the example, think that you have 3 properties STUDENT_ID, NAME, ADDRESS for each student):
MAIN_LINE
STUDENT_ID_1
NAME_1
ADDRESS_1
STUDENT_ID_2
NAME_2
ADDRESS_2
STUDENT_ID_3
NAME_3
ADDRESS_3
You get the picture...
The SQL trick to achieve this is one that one should know.
I'll show this for the STUDENT_ID_1, STUDENT_ID_2 and NAME_1 column as an example:
with my_data as
( ... the query shown above including MAIN_LINE_NUM and COLUMN_NUM ...
)
select MAIN_LINE_NUM,
max(case when COLUMN_NUM=1 then STUDENT_ID else null end) as STUDENT_ID_1,
max(case when COLUMN_NUM=2 then STUDENT_ID else null end) as STUDENT_ID_2,
...
max(case when COLUMN_NUM=1 then NAME else null end) as NAME_1,
...
from my_data
group by MAIN_LINE_NUM
order by MAIN_LINE_NUM
As you see, this is quite clumsy if you need a lot of different columns.
On the other hand, this makes the output a lot easier.
Create a table item for your dat set, with 3 columns (for 1, 2, 3). It's best to not drag the dataset into the layout. Instead, use the "Insert element" context menu.
You need a detail row for each of the columns (STUDENT_ID, NAME, ADDRESS). So, add two more details rows (the default is one detail row).
Add header labels manually, if you like, or remove the header row if you don't need it (which is what I assume).
Remove the footer row, as you probably don't need it.
Drag the columns to the corresponding position in your table.
The table item should look like this now (data items):
+--------------+--------------+-------------+
+ STUDENT_ID_1 | STUDENT_ID_2 | STUDENT_ID3 |
+--------------+--------------+-------------+
+ NAME_1 | NAME_2 | NAME_3 |
+--------------+--------------+-------------+
+ ADDRESS_1 | ADDRESS_2 | ADDRESS_3 |
+--------------+--------------+-------------+
That's it!
This is one of the few examples where BIRT sucks IMHO in comparison to other tools like e.g. Oracle Reports - excuse my Klatchian.
