I want to create a formula where I take the newest value on a cell. The information is updated when someone fills out the Google Form. Basically, there is some information the customer might not fill out, so the information is sparse.
What I want to create is a formula where it always takes the very bottom value of the spreadsheet (newest information). Even if the cell was blank, I want it to output as blank, and if there is an information on that cell, output it as that written value. Is this possible using INDEX and IF formula? Or is there some other formula to solve this problem.
If this doesn't make sense, please comment and I'll answer.
=INDEX(A:A, COUNTA(A:A))
let form sheet be:
then to get last form entry row use:
=ARRAYFORMULA(INDIRECT("form!"&
MAX(IF(form!A:A<>"", ROW(form!A:A), ))&":"&
MAX(IF(form!A:A<>"", ROW(form!A:A), ))))

I have one table of data (A) with data values, and a second table (B) which serves as a key that categorises/groups those entries into categories.
I am trying to write a cell formula that will list the category that corresponds to the data value in (A).
Some of the entries in the data table are empty, i.e. have no input data.
Case in point:
A13 has an empty cell, according to table (B), I specifically want the blank cell to be categorised as "Other". At the moment the sheet thinks cells like these are "null" and not "blank" and therefore returns #N/A.
I have tried adding an IFERROR function, which works at this stage but does not suit the scenario where a new data entry is entered as that will initially show as "Other" too when it should be something else, so I want to avoid using:
=IFERROR(INDEX(D2:D13,MATCH(A2:A13,E2:E13,0)),"Other")
Current cell formula for col B:
=INDEX(D2:D13,MATCH(A2:A13,E2:E13,0))
Please can you help? I've found plenty of articles on how to ignore blank/empty cells, but nothing to include them.
Many thanks!

use ifna like:
=IFNA(INDEX(D2:D13, MATCH(A2:A13, E2:E13, 0)))
update:
=INDEX(IF(A2:A13="",,IFERROR(INDEX(D2:D13,MATCH(A2:A13,E2:E13,0)),"Other")))
I have a column in Google Sheets with values like 1(current), 2(current), etc. I am getting these values from google form response.
I want to extract only the integer from cell value as 1,2,3.. so on.
I am able to use SPLIT(A2, "(current)") for cells. But this does not get applied for new values from form response.
I found that ARRAYFORLMULA can be used for applying a formula to new responses from forms, but somehow it isn't working. I tried them as mentioned below, but I am not sure if I am using it correctly.
=ArrayFormula(QUERY( SPLIT(E2:E,"(current)")))
=ArrayFormula(SPLIT(E2:E,"(current)"))
Can someone help with how to achieve above answer with REGEXEXTRACT?
try like this:
=ARRAYFORMULA(IFNA(REGEXEXTRACT(E2:E, "\d+")))
I'm making a Google Spreadsheet which checks if a Value in Column A contains keywords out of a List in Column F. Problem is that I want to check if the value in A is exactly the same OR partly the same.
With a lot of help i've found over here I created this working formula:
=VLOOKUP(FILTER(ArrayFormula((LOWER(F:F)));REGEXMATCH(LOWER(A2);ArrayFormula((LOWER(F:F)))));ArrayFormula((LOWER(F:G)));1;FALSE)
Because I automatically import new lines of data I want to use ARRAYFORMULA. Unfortunately, I can't get it done.
This are my working formulas:
=VLOOKUP(FILTER(ArrayFormula((LOWER(F:F)));REGEXMATCH(LOWER(A2);ArrayFormula((LOWER(F:F)))));ArrayFormula((LOWER(F:F)));1;FALSE)
=VLOOKUP(FILTER(ArrayFormula((LOWER(F:F)));REGEXMATCH(LOWER(A3);ArrayFormula((LOWER(F:F)))));ArrayFormula((LOWER(F:F)));1;FALSE)
You can find my spreadsheet over here:
https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1aIdQ65SdeXW-4cTr8azQIiLNGcRCvTexGS_lFu8mECs/edit#gid=1308644379
=ARRAYFORMULA(PROPER(IFERROR(REGEXEXTRACT(LOWER(A2:A); LOWER(TEXTJOIN("|"; 1; F2:F))))))
I have a 2x2 matrix table question in qualtrics, each response option being a text box. I would like to only accept numerical responses. The two left columns can be any number. For the right two, they can be any number that is less than or equal to the respective box on the left, or a percentage. Having tried options, I'm not thinking tha this can only be done using matches regex option. This is new to me, so any help would be appreciated.
Thanks,
You can't do it with Custom Validation. There isn't any way to reference a value on the same page in the right side of a validation condition.
You'll have to use JavaScript.
I am creating an excel sheet with following Data Validation drop down list.
NA
Done
(add some formula here)
Basically, i will be able to select either plain text "NA"/ "Done" from the dropdown list. But sometimes, I want the user to be able to calculate some values based on the cell respective to the row selected so, I want to have one formula as a choice inside the data validation dropdown list. Is this possible?
Data Validation List Source
When I click on Formulae option, it should execute the formula with respect to the cells in that Row
But currently, the formula that i put in doesn't execute, instead it will just show the whole formula in the cell when activated.
1)How can i make it so that when i select the formula from data validation list, it will execute it instead of filling up the cell with it?
2)How do i set the formula so that it will be using the cell from the current Row? (for example, if i am using the data validation List in N60, the formula should adapt itself to use the cell (let's say A60?).
I may not be able to help with the second part, but I was seeking an answer to the first and discovered a solution/workaround using Name Manager.
First, in Formula > Name Manager, create a new reference (the "refers to" will contain whatever formula you are wishing to ultimately display in the validation list. For this example, we use the formula reference "=IF($H54=..." and Name it "UniqueName"
Now, we go into Data Validation, Select List, and input the three items we want displayed in the list, with an equals sign preceding our newly named reference: ie. "NA,Done,=UniqueName"
Note: You can't start with the =UniqueName or validation will try to read it all as a formula and fail.
This method will allow the user to display "NA", "Done", or "=UniqueName" in the cell; if "=UniqueName" is selected, the cell itself will interpret this as a formula and execute it accordingly, displaying the results of "=IF($H54=...", or whateverelse you have designated to use as a named formula.
If it's too late for yours, I hope this helps someone else who may face a similar problem.
While I think I know what you're trying to say. Why don't you just use an IF formula to evaluate everything instead of selecting a drop down for every row manually. You already had it partially solved using IF. Just need to add the criteria for a "Done" and an "NA"
=if(A1="date","Done",if(A1<"date","NA",if(something else until you have all your catergories))
Just going to piggyback off of Mark's response.
If you really needed your named formula to be the first selection in the list, you can setup your list with a leading comma like so:
,=UniqueName,NA,Done
That worked out for my use, and there was no null item listed in the Data Validation drop down. Hope that helps!
