I have two lists of people - they will not be sorted in the same order. The second list is in a different sheet. If the person listed in column A shows up in Column A in the second sheet, I want column F to display "Y." If not, I want column F to display "N."
This formula: =ArrayFormula(vlookup(A2:A,Attendees!A2:A,1,0)) almost gets me there, but I can't figure out how to get it to return Y/N instead of the name of the Attendee or not.
Any ideas?
try:
=ARRAYFORMULA(IF(IFNA(VLOOKUP(A2:A, Attendees!A2:A, 1, 0))="", "No", "Yes"))

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 a spreadsheet where a user will fill out a form which then outputs onto a google sheet with a timestamp. This is then concatenated with their name to get an input ID.
I have column A with the input ID and column B with the name of the person who is supposed to be in the columnID.
For example:
Column A: 11/11/11Bob Smith
Column B: Bob Smith
I would like to highlight any cell in column A that does not contain the contents of column B. There is a large amount of content in column B that changes on a weekly basis so it would not be worth the time to go through and set conditional formatting for each cell.
try:
=NOT(REGEXMATCH(A1, TEXTJOIN("|", 1, B:B)))*(A1<>"")
You can add conditional formatting to a whole range.
If data in column A should contain text of column B of the same row, this can be done with:
=not(REGEXMATCH(A1, B1))
I have a file that needs to look up the team name (on a tab called "Parse") of an employee on a tab called "Roster". This can be done with a simple array Vlookup, however, the issue is that each week, we add a row to the Roster tab because employees sometimes move around.
I have already done the majority of legwork by using a MAX/FILTER/COLUMN, LEN formula to determine what the last column is in the Roster tab. I have also created a range that will provide me with the actual range needed for the VLookup. For example: If the last column in Roster is "G", I already have a formula that populates "'Roster'!A2:G", which is the range I would need for my Vlookup. If the last row in Roster is "P", then the formula shows "'Roster'!A2:P".
The formula that gives me the range, as I described in the examples, lives in cell F2 on the Parse tab.
So the hard part is done. All I need to know now is, when writing my Vlookup, how can I have the formula reference the actual contents of cell F2 in the Parse tab instead of thinking the lookup range is cell F2. Here's a visual:
Cell F2 in the Parse tab reads: 'Roster'!A2:G (because as of now, column G is the last column with data. this is correct).
My VLookup is VLOOKUP($A2,$F$2,7,FALSE). However, I want my Vlookup to say VLOOKUP($A2,'Roster'!A2:G,7,FALSE).
Is it possible to have the formula reference what is IN cell F2 instead of referencing just "F2"?
I hope this made sense. It's the end of my workday and I'm very tired.
try something like:
=VLOOKUP(A2, INDIRECT("Roster!A2:"&
SUBSTITUTE(ADDRESS(1, MAX(IF(Roster!1:1<>"", COLUMN(Roster!1:1), )), 4), 1, )),
MAX(IF(Roster!1:1<>"", COLUMN(Roster!1:1), )), 0)
I want to make a select list in apex in which when i select any number from select list then it displays diffrent column table for example when i select 1 then it display (bags) when select 2 it displays (trousers)...
I hope I understand your question right.
For a select list you need to create a list of values. There you have to fill two columns, the Display Value Column and the Return Value Column.
Like the label says, the Display Column is for displaying (like trousers, bags) and the return value returns another value (like 2, 1) to the database. On the database it won't be saved as trousers or bags, it will be saved as 2 and 1.
Hope this helped you.
i have two sheets. first column of both sheets has userids, but there is only some overlap of ids between the two sheets. i want to keep the userids in the first sheet, but in the second sheet, the second column has a point of data that i want. for those userids in the first sheet that are also in the second sheet, i want to get this data.
so, for say the first row's userid in the first sheet, how could i use vlookup to find that same userid in the second sheet (if it exists), get the value of the second column of that match, and bring it back to the second column of the first sheet?
thanks
Modify and put this formula into the first cell of the second column on the first worksheet. Then copy and paste it down the column:
=VLOOKUP(A1, Sheet2!A$1:B$100, 2, FALSE)
Let's look at the parameters for this function:
A1: This value, on this worksheet, is what we're searching for in the range given in the next parameter. When you copy and paste the entire formula down the column, it increments the row # with each row. In row 2, it will be modified to A2, and so on.
Sheet2!A$1:B$100 : This is the range that we are interested in, on the second worksheet. It is the top left to bottom right cell. The $ symbol tells Excel not to change the row #'s when you copy and paste the formula down the column. Modify B$100 to fit the range of data you are interested in... something like B$30 if you only have 30 rows of id's on the 2nd sheet.
2: This is the column you are interested in retrieving the value, relative to the above parameter. In this case, the 2 corresponds with column B.
False: This instructs Excel to find the exact match.
