I have a little problem getting the result i wanted from the data that i have.
I tried index match match and vlook up match but it doesnt give me the result that i wanted.
Please see the sample data that I have. DATA 1
I wanted to get the # of hours based from this table TABLE
Can someone help me get the correct syntax for this please?
Tried several things to go around the with formulas but ended up either just 1 result for the whole column or an error. Thanks
up for this.

I have a dataset with fields targeted and opens and I need to add calculated field opens per targeted which essentially means doing simple devision of those 2 values.
My calculated field is as follows
{opens}/{targeted}
but then displaying simple table with values they are completely incorrect
If I try any other operator like + * etc calculations are correct.
I'm completely out of ideas on how to debug this. I've simplified the dataset to just columns of targeted and opens, can't get any simpler.
Had the same problem, I fixed it by wrapping the columns with the sum() function. Like this:
sum({opens})/sum({targeted})
I think you need to make AWS understand that you are working with float numbers.
1.0*{opens}/{targeted}
if still not working try also
(1.0*{opens})/({targeted}*1.0)
it should give you the desired output (not tested, let me know if it doesnt work)
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)))
I am trying to get a value from a cell in Google Sheets which contains a list of values separated with commas.
Example:
UC133 - 2019/01/10 2019/01/30, UC99 - 2018/11/29 2018/12/19, UC134 -
2019/06/01 2019/06/19, UC132 - 2018/12/20 2019/01/09
I would like to be able to get an output in a cell of "UC134", because 134 is "bigger" than UC99, UC132 and UC133.
I tried a lot of different functions and formulas but I am unable to get something to work. I also really tried to fix the original data I get this from, but it seems like it is not an option.
Any help is appreciated and if possible without any function scripts.
Thank you very much for your time and let me know if you have any questions.
=ARRAYFORMULA("UC"&MAX(REGEXEXTRACT(SPLIT(A1, ","), "UC(\d+)\s")*1))
shorter: =ARRAYFORMULA("UC"&MAX(LEFT(SPLIT(A1, "UC"), 3)*1))
longer: =ARRAYFORMULA("UC"&MAX(INDEX(SPLIT(TRANSPOSE(SPLIT(A1, "UC")), " ")),,1))
I'm having some trouble getting the Table.Repeat function to work properly... I'm very new to PowerQuery/BI, so am just about getting my head wrapped around all the coding.
Following the syntax and it would appear everything is correct, given that the addition of columns is optional.
What I am aiming to achieve is to have the entire repeated a specific number of times, the repeat function described here sounds like it fits the bill. But when I have attempted to implement it, it results in an error.
I was previously using the Append Function, however, as I'm trying to append the query several thousand times, this results in the query crashing excel and has become uneditable after the initial setup.
I've tried implementing the Repeat code halfway through the query, where it's needed; and on a new sheet. Halfway through gave me an error stating: that it could not find a Value and that a table.
When I tired it on a new sheet, though I did not get an error, the applied sets disappeared and the data wasn't repeated. I tried the repeating tables, much lower I needed to test out, but this still went into error.
#"Repeat" = Table.Repeat(#"8-1", 2)
Essentially the entire table repeated X number of times.
I'm just starting to explore Xlrd, and to be honest am pretty new to programming altogether, and have been working through some of their simple examples, and can't get this simple code to work:
import xlrd
book=open_workbook('C:\\Users\\M\\Documents\\trial.xlsx')
sheet=book.sheet_by_index(1)
cell=sheet.cell(0,0)
print cell
I get an error: list index out of range (referring to the 2nd to last bit of code)
I cut and pasted most of the code from the pdf...any help?
You say:
I get an error: list index out of range (referring to the 2nd to last
bit of code)
I doubt it. How many sheets are there in the file? I suspect that there is only one sheet. Indexing in Python starts from 0, not 1. Please edit your question to show the full traceback and the full error message. I suspect that it will show that the IndexError occurs in the 3rd-last line:
sheet=book.sheet_by_index(1)
I would play around with it in the console.
Execute each statement one at a time and then view the result of each. The sheet indexes count from 0, so if you only have one worksheet then you're asking for the second one, and that will give you a list index out of range error.
Another thing that you might be missing is that not all cells exist if they don't have data in them. Some do, but some don't. Basically, the cells that exist from xlrd's standpoint are the ones in the matrix nrows x ncols.
Another thing is that if you actually want the values out of the cells, use the cell_value method. That will return you either a string or a float.
Side note, you could write your path like so: 'C:/Users/M/Documents/trial.xlsx'. Python will handle the / vs \ on the backend perfectly and you won't have to screw around with escape characters.
