I have a dynamic database (new entries every day), and I grouped values from one column. To group my values, I clicked on the variable I want to group, and picked "New Group".
I grouped my variable such as:
enter image description here
1803 will be added soon, and I'd like to add it to group3, but it does not allow me.
Anyone knows how to do that?
Thanks in advance!
I Don't understand totally the logic for choosing 4 digits of column A to grouped them in G1, G2 or G3.
But, if this depends on the last 2 digits, you can add a calculated column as the following:
Grouped_A = IF(SEARCH("01";'Table'[A];1;0 )>0;"G1";IF(SEARCH("02";'Table'[A];1;0 )>0;"G2";"G3"))
If is not this logic you want to implement, can you explain us better, please!
Hope can help you.

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'm trying to see if it's possible to get a function between IF + VLOOKUP. I would like to have a table where I can select a specific cell and based on that command a specific set of information is shown. I have tried with SORT + FILTER but since I have more of less 23 different columns to choose from, the information wasn't displaying the way I wanted to.
What somehow I've managed to do is just a SORT based on the total results but I would love if I could create one that filters it based on the cell or condition I want.
Here's a link on a test I tried to do so I could better explain myself https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1i7f80FsWIMQtH1X6r7oEidymbJdGGJv2U5xQUZA7vC4/edit?usp=sharing
Thanks in advance for any suggestion that can help me or something near what I want.
try:
=QUERY(SORTN({Data!A2:A13, Data!AC2:AC13, Data!C2:C13}, 23,, 2, 1),
"select Col1,Col2 where Col3 = '"&D4&"'")
I've got lots of data in a Google sheet (I do not have Excel or Windows as I am on a Chromebook) and I want to use one column to filter out cells which contain two different words. The column of data might contain various values.
Example
Cell 1 Acme - Main - Location
Cell 2 Acme - Secondary - Location
Cell 3 Acme - Location - Main
Sticking with the above example, I would like to use my data filters set at the column headers to only show me cells where it matches Acme and Main.
What is the best way of doing this, please?
I tried using the Text Contains option in the data filter but I'm not sure how to insert both words as something to filter by, it seems to only filter the words exactly how they are typed. So if I type in Acme Main into the filter it will work for some cells which are in that exact order.
if the order of "acme main" combo does not matter you could use:
=REGEXMATCH(A1:A, "Acme(.+)Main|Main(.+)Acme")
if you also want it by any chance case-insensitive use:
=REGEXMATCH(LOWER(A1:A), "acme(.+)main|main(.+)acme")
In the filter options, use this custom formula
=regexmatch(A1:A, "Acme(.+)Main")
and see if that works?
Change column reference to suit.
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!
Is there any way to group a table by a text field, having in count that this text field is not always exactly the same?
Example:
select city_hotel, count(city_hotel)
from hotels, temp_grid
where st_intersects(hotels.geom, temp_grid.geom)
and potential=1
and part=4
group by city_hotel
order by (city_hotel) desc
The output I get is the expected, for example, City name and count:
"Vassiliki ";1
"Vassiliki";1
"Vassilias, Skiathos";1
"Vassilias";5
"Vasilikí";25
"Vasiliki";23
"Vasilias";1
But I'd want to group more this field, and get only one "Vasiliki" (or an array with all, this is not a problem) and a count of all the cells containing something similar between them.
I do not know if could this be possible. Maybe some function to text analysis or something similar?
SELECT COUNT(*), `etc` FROM table GROUP BY textfield LIKE '%sili%';
// The '%' is a SQL wildcard, which matches as many of any character as required.
You could do something like the above, choosing a word for the 'like' that best fits the spellings that your users have used.
Something that can help with that would be to do a
SELECT COUNT(*), textfield FROM table GROUP BY textfield ORDER BY textfield;
And selecting the most 'average' spelling for your words.
Otherwise you're starting to get into a bit of language processing, and for that you will want to write some code outside of SQL.
This would be something like https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Damerau%E2%80%93Levenshtein_distance
To find word's that are the same within an arbitrary margin of error.
There is a MySQL implementation here that you should be able to transpose as needed

(Personal thoughts on the topic)
You Really Really want to think about limiting the input from users that can give you this issue in the first place. It's far far better to give the users a list of places to select from, than it is to push potentially 'dirty' information into your database. That eventually always winds up with you trying to clean the information at a later time. A problem that has kept many people employed for many years.
