I have to answer a F.A.Q by google sheets, and I have a list of models answers. I wanted a way to do a snippet in google sheets
for example if a type "#answer1" he replace for my model answer number 1.
Thanks
The best way to do this is to use a combination of an Index and Match function. You could use Vlookup also but I prefer Index Match as it is more flexible and performant.
If you type #answer 1 into any one of cells a1:a3 and then put your lookup table in cells c1:d3 then put the following formula into b1:
=index($D$1:$D$3,match(A1,$C$1:$C$3,0))
cmd/ctrl + d it down to fill the rest of the table.

I have a sheet with multiple links, all in the format of https://abc.xyz.com/randomstuff and I would like to remove the abc. from all of them.
Is there a way to somehow automate that for me inside google sheets?
try:
=ARRAYFORMULA(IFERROR(REGEXEXTRACT(A6:A16, "(https?://)")&
REGEXEXTRACT(A6:A16, "[^\.]\.+(.+)")))
You can do that with Substitute():
=SUBSTITUTE(A1,"abc.","")
Or even use Arrayformula() to apply the formula to a range of values:
=ARRAYFORMULA(SUBSTITUTE(A1:A,"abc.",""))
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.

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 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'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'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:

=ARRAYFORMULA(PROPER(IFERROR(REGEXEXTRACT(LOWER(A2:A); LOWER(TEXTJOIN("|"; 1; F2:F))))))
