I have a formula. It works - but feels like it could be made much simpler.
I have many departments across several columns. Each row has an item that we're tracking and each column has a status text that changes as we do the work.
'queue' - it's in line waiting to be done and weighs down the average
'active' - in process and provides a half value across the average
'done', 'ok'd', 'rcvd' - finished and contributes to the final average
'none' - denotes a department that's inactive on this job and should not count in the final average.
The formula is:
=iferror(((ArrayFormula(sum(countif(B3:O3,{"done","ok'd","rcvd"}))))+(countif(B3:O3,"active")/2))/(counta(B3:O3)-(countif(B3:O3,"none"))),)
The formula works but I'm looking to see if there's an easier way to approach it. Would a query or array modification work better in this scenario?
What if I wanted to add other text strings based on syntax for my current application?
Here's a link to a sample sheet with it in context.

EDIT:
As a followup question - how do I get the same thing to work across the columns?
I did some reverse engineering to the solution and can see the formula working across the top of my sheet - but it's giving me an error:
"MMULT has incompatible matrix sizes. Number of columns in first matrix (13) must equal number of rows in second matrix (1)."
Here's the formula I've added (it's also in the linked sheet).
=ARRAYFORMULA(IF(LEN(B4:N4), MMULT(IFERROR(( N(REGEXMATCH(B4:N9, "ok'd|done|ready|rcvd"))+ N(REGEXMATCH(B4:N9, "active"))/2)/MMULT(N(REGEXMATCH(B4:N9, "[^none]")),TRANSPOSE(ROW(B4:B9)^0)), 0), TRANSPOSE(ROW(B4:B9)^0)),))
As a followup question - how do I get the same thing to work across the columns?
=ARRAYFORMULA(TRANSPOSE(IF(LEN(TRANSPOSE(B4:N4)), MMULT(IFERROR((
N(REGEXMATCH(TRANSPOSE(B4:N16), "ok'd|done|ready|rcvd"))+
N(REGEXMATCH(TRANSPOSE(B4:N16), "active"))/2)/MMULT(
N(REGEXMATCH(TRANSPOSE(B4:N16), "[^none]")),
(ROW(B4:B16)^0)), 0),
(ROW(B4:B16)^0)), )))
=ARRAYFORMULA(IF(LEN(B3:B9), MMULT(IFERROR((
N(REGEXMATCH(B3:N9, "ok'd|done|ready|rcvd"))+
N(REGEXMATCH(B3:N9, "active"))/2)/MMULT(
N(REGEXMATCH(B3:N9, "[^none]")),
TRANSPOSE(COLUMN(B3:N3)^0)), 0),
TRANSPOSE(COLUMN(B3:N3)^0)), ))

I have a complex survey with numerous skip logic rules that ends up returning over 3 dozen columns of mostly empty data with only certain questions applicable to each respondent's submission. I tried creating a column at the end of the columns to grab any cell in that row that was not blank and concatenating them all into one cell:
=ifna(textjoin("|",true,filter($A$2:$AO$2&"_"&A3:AO3,A3:AO3>0)))
This yielded me one cell per row with everything I needed - including the column headers so I could parse the data (without all the blanks) by looking only at that one column.
However, each time a new response comes in, it shifts all the data down so I am constantly needing to go in and add the formula to new responses. I tried moving the formula to another tab completely:
=ifna(textjoin("|",true,filter(Eureka!$A$2:$AO$2&"_"&Eureka!A3:AO3,Eureka!A3:AO3>0)))
This formula also will not correct itself once new data appears on the Eureka tab. So I filled that formula down in one long column...it works perfectly on any response up to that point. Then when a new response comes in (at row 274 as an example), all of the formulas below row 274 automatically add a row to the references. So that if my formula in row 274 has ranges like this: A274:AO274...once a response comes in on row 275, my formula on row 275 has jumped up by one like this: A276:AO276 (to 298 or 343...depending on the number of new responses.
So I want to make my formula act as an arrayformula:
=ifna(arrayformula(textjoin("|",true,filter(Eureka!$A$2:$AO$2&"_"&Eureka!A3:AO,Eureka!A3:AO>0))))
but textjoin only works on either rows or columns, so this keeps giving me an error.
I think I need to use MAP/LAMBDA possibly or some kind of REPT, but I just can't seem to crack it.
And in full disclosure, my ultimate goal would be to actually have each question returned on its own row so that the first two columns get repeated for every question vertically. But I think once I get the original question addressed, I can figure out how to do that.
TEXTJOIN in arrayformula?
The following formula should produce the result you desire:
=BYROW(BYCOL(FILTER(Eureka!A2:AO,Eureka!A2:A <> ""),LAMBDA(col, ARRAYFORMULA(CONCAT(ARRAYFORMULA(IF(ISBLANK(FILTER(col,{FALSE;TRANSPOSE(SPLIT(REPT(TRUE&CHAR(127),ROWS(col)-1),CHAR(127),TRUE,TRUE))})),,ARRAY_CONSTRAIN(col,1,1)&"_")),FILTER(col,{FALSE;TRANSPOSE(SPLIT(REPT(TRUE&CHAR(127),ROWS(col)-1),CHAR(127),TRUE,TRUE))}))))),LAMBDA(row,TEXTJOIN("|",true,row)))
I have a couple of rather large nested if functions in my spreadsheet. It sure would be nice to have an alternative method. Problem is I'm using a wildcard (*) in my lookup because the source text has slight variations (date for example).
For example, if my list of data contains:
VENMO PAYMENT 220828 1022093447487 BRENDA HOSPY
VENMO PAYMENT 220813 1031323447487 BRENDA HOSPY
I want these to show in an adjacent column of cells as just Venmo
Currently my if function in that second column of cells is:
=IF(COUNTIF($F10,"*APPLE.COM/BILL*"),"AP",
IF(COUNTIF($F10,"IIA VOYA*"),"VOYA",
IF(COUNTIF($F10,"VENMO PAYMENT*"),"Venmo",
IF(COUNTIF($F10,etc...
This works fine but quickly gets unruly as more things get added.
I've spent a great deal of time searching for functions and processes that would make this easier, or at least more compact, but I can't find a way with typical functions like vlookup or index/match.
If I've explained this in a comprehensible fashion perhaps you've seen or experienced a similar situation and could offer a suggestion. It would be appreciated!
I'm not opposed to using a programming function.
I've looked at, and for, various Excel functions or combinations with no luck on my own or online.
I have created a structure as below
Formula present in B2 is as below
=IFERROR(INDEX($F$2:$F$9,MIN(IF(COUNTIF(A2,"*"&$E$2:$E$9&"*")>0,ROW($E$2:$E$9),9999999)-1)),"---")
Enter it as an Array Formula using Ctrl+Shift+Enter
It will search all the strings present in column E in A2 when found will return all the row numbers of column E where there is a match, i have then used min to get the first one, and if not found it will return 9999999, and as the data is starting from row 2 i have added -1 to make it equal to the data index. after that i have called the index to search value present at that index in column F. and at the end used the if error function to show --- where no match was found and 999999 was returned.
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:
This is a link to a mock of my sheet so that you can clearly see the data layout and specific formulas I'm using:
https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1wy1T6dWJwNC_EfdCAbkuxtkJH7y4Cg3x4IyEk6R567M/edit?usp=sharing
use:
=REGEXMATCH(D3, TEXTJOIN("|", 1, FILTER($A$3:$A, $B$3:$B=D$2)))
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; ))
I am trying to compare the numerical data in two columns in Google Sheets (say, Col. A and B) and return a count of all of the times that they vary by say, more than 1 (e.g., if A3 = 5 and B3 = 2, this should get counted). The two-column arrays will always be of equal size.
At first, I thought that either COUNTIF or COUNTIFS would be my go-to tool, but I can't get this to work with either formula. These formulas seem to handle criteria within a cell, but - as far as I can tell - can't handle criteria comparing data within two different (adjacent) cells.
Can someone help me with some super syntax work-around to get COUNTIF/COUNTIFS to work... or is there a more appropriate formula to the job (perhaps involving FILTER)?
*Quick Edit: I know I could always add an additional column, which would be very simple in this example. But my real-world spreadsheets are a lot more complex and are already suffering from column overload. A lot of other formulas are already set up around existing columns, and I was hoping to discover a more elegant solution that would allow me to come up with the count without having to add a new column for each and every comparison calculation.
=ARRAYFORMULA(IF(LEN(A:A&B:B), IF(A:A-B:B>1, 1, )+IF(B:B-A:A>1, 1, ), ))
if you want final sum instead of "per row" count use:
=SUM(ARRAYFORMULA(IF(LEN(A:A&B:B), IF(A:A-B:B>1, 1, )+IF(B:B-A:A>1, 1, ), )))
Add a third column, containing e.g. =ABS(SUM(A3-B3)). (The ABS gives you the positive difference regardless of which value is larger.)
At the bottom of that column, use COUNTIF like =COUNTIF(C1:C25, ">1") (where C1:C25 is the range of cels containing those positive differences).
