I am trying to do a vlookup but my table array has more than one same value, and the result is only the first cell,
So, I would like to know how can I do to improve this function,
I'll explain the image, as you can see my table array is 251724001-4799 and what I am looking is the table called FED_INDICED and they have 7 differents values however my vlookup only throws me one
The next example has my inquiry
A simple vlookup function doesn't return multiple values. You would have to write an Index function. In this case I would recommend to do it horizontally. You would need a function similar to this one here:
=INDEX($B$2:$B$9, SMALL(IF($A$11=$A$2:$A$9, ROW($A$2:$A$9)-ROW($A$2)+1), COLUMN(A1)))

I want to check where - in a specified range - does a value exist in a Google Sheet. If I already know the column, I would use the "Match()" function to get the row number. But let's say if I still want to get a number for the column, and use the Match() function again, I wasn't able to.
In the match function, I wanted to use a dynamic value like "Sheet1!E3" to specify the row I'm searching for, but it didn't work.
Here is the sheet to illustrate the idea.
Why is that? In a case like this, if I want to use the dynamic value twice - Sheet1!E3:Sheet1!E3, what should I do instead?
Thanks!
See the test sheet linked
delete E4. use in E3:
=INDEX(FLATTEN(SPLIT(TEXTJOIN(, 1, IF(E2=A2:B17, ROW(A2:B17)&""&COLUMN(A2:B17), )), "")))
I'm trying to create an array formula to auto-populate the total count of values for each column as columns are added.
I've tried doing this using a combination of count and indirect, as well as tried my hand at query, but I can't seem to get it to show unique value counts for each column.
This is my first time attempting to use query, and at first it seemed possible from reading through the documentation on the query language, but I haven't been able to figure it out.
Here's the shared document: https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/15VwsL7uTsORLqBDrnT3VdwAWlXLh-JgoJVbz7wkoMAo/edit?usp=sharing
I know I can do this by writing a custom function in apps script, but I'd like to use the built-in functions if I can for performance reasons (there is going to be a lot of data), and I want quick refresh rates.
try:
=ARRAYFORMULA(IF(B5:5="",,TRANSPOSE(MMULT(TRANSPOSE(N(B6:99<>"")), SIGN(ROW(B6:99))))))
In B3 try
=ArrayFormula(IF(LEN(B5:5), COUNTIF(IF(B6:21<>"", COLUMN(B6:21)), COLUMN(B6:21)),))
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 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!
I worked on some projects, but cannot figure out why this kind of vlookup function does not work. I even tried a very simple example, and it didn't work.
From https://support.office.com/en-us/article/VLOOKUP-function-0bbc8083-26fe-4963-8ab8-93a18ad188a1 "The value you want to look up must be in the first column of the range of cells you specify in table-array".
Your example is trying to search the second column. Swap column 1 and 2 and the lookup should work.
