I have a url report that gets generated on a running weekly basis. Each week the report generates a new worksheet within a workbook that keeps around 6 months worth of data at a time. I want to find and pull the data on a specific url from the worksheets and display them in a new worksheet.
For example data in a worksheet might look like:
Week of Mar 9
URL | Visits | Conversions
mysite.com/apple | 300 | 10
mysite.com/banana | 100 | 20
mysite.com/pear | 600 | 5
And each worksheet in the workbook is a different week, such as Mar 2, Feb 23, etc.
Now, I want every Apple url in one worksheet so that I can compare...Apples to Apples...(pun intended). Since there are hundreds of these I can't afford the time to manually do this for each segment I need, so I tried the following.
=INDEX('312015'!8:999,MATCH("apple",'312015'!8:999,-1))
I'm uncertain of which switch to use for Match, other than 0 is "exact match" from what I read online, so I tried both 1 and -1 to get a not-exact match, though reality is I probably need a partial-match since apple is only part of the url.
Any suggestions on how to get this to work or a better way to do this in excel would be great. Also, I can not manipulate the report output themselves as it comes from a third party vendor and I've already asked them about adjusting this.
I thought about using vlookup as well, but I believe that only returns the first result with that value and not multiple ones.
Assuming URL in ColumnA, Visits in ColumnB, Conversions in ColumnC for your source data, and in another sheet your page (fruit: apple/banana/pear) in A1,Visits in B1, Conversions in C1 and sheet names in A2 downwards, then I suggest in B2:
=INDEX(INDIRECT($A2&"!B:B"),MATCH("*"&$A$1,INDIRECT($A2&"!A:A"),0))
in C2:
=INDEX(INDIRECT($A2&"!C:C"),MATCH("*"&$A$1,INDIRECT($A2&"!A:A"),0))
and the two formulae copied down to suit.
This is looking for an exact match but does so with a wildcard.

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.
I am trying to filter out data from a different sheet with a specific account number. However the code below doesn't give out any results
=query(importrange(Setup!B1,"Sheet1!A2:F"),"Select * where Col4 matches '\d\d-\d\d\d\d-[14-7]\d\d\d'",1)
This is supposed to filter out all accounts where the 1st digit in the 3rd group of numbers is either 1,4,5,6 or 7. The width of the account numbers are all the same following the format xx-xxxx-xxxx.
Try using this as your match criteria:
\d{2}-\d{4}-[14-7]{3}\d
Also, while I can't see your data, make sure you actually have a header in the first row of your IMPORTRANGE results (which you've requested with the 1 at the end of the QUERY). If you don't actually have headers, the 1 will leave you with one more result than you want; if that is the case, just remove the ,1 from the end of the QUERY.
If this doesn't produce the results you want, it may be due to mixed data types in your raw data that are being filtered out by the QUERY. In that case, you can try using FILTER and REGEXMATCH instead:
=ArrayFormula(FILTER(IMPORTRANGE(Setup!B1,"Sheet1!A2:F"),REGEXMATCH(IMPORTRANGE(Setup!B1,"Sheet1!D2:D"),"\d{2}-\d{4}-[14-7]{3}\d")))
It is always hard to write complex formulas sight unseen. If none of these solutions (which work in my local sheet) produce the results you expect, I encourage you to share a link to both of your sheets. The raw data sheet being called by IMPORTRANGE can be "View Only"; but you'll want to set the Share permission on the second sheet (the one with the IMPORTRANGE formula itself) to "Anyone with the link..." and "Editor," so that those here can access it to test.
I have an event dataset in QuickSight, where each record has a timestamp field as following:
last_day_record_ts |
-------------------|
2020-01-19 05:46:55|
2020-01-20 05:55:37|
2020-01-21 06:00:12|
2020-01-22 06:12:57|
2020-01-23 06:02:15|
2020-01-24 06:15:35|
2020-01-25 06:20:05|
2020-01-26 05:55:48|
I want to build a visualization of time values over days as a line chart as following:
However, I find it difficult to get this in AWS QuickSight. Any ideas?
Instead of desired result QuickSight persistently gives just aggregated record values (i.e 1 for each day) but not the time values itself...
UPDATE. The workaround I found for now - to add calculated fields to the Data Set in order to get numeric values instead of timestamp ones.
Calculated fields:
day_midnight | truncDate('DD',{last_day_record_ts})
time_diff_in_hours_dec | abs(dateDiff({last_day_record_ts},{day_midnight},"MI")) / 60
time_diff_in_hours_int | decimalToInt({time_diff_in_hours_dec})
time_diff_in_min | ({time_diff_in_hours_dec} - {time_diff_in_hours_int}) * 60
The only problem I still cannot solve - to get Y axis labels in HH:MM format as in green rectangle. For now, it's numeric decimals...
Unfortunately, (after many attempts of my own) this type of visual does not appear to be possible in Quicksight at the time of writing.
Quicksight has many nice features, but it's still missing some (very basic imo) things that make it limiting for anyone working with data that is outside the expected use-cases.
I was having an issue with ms access 2000 in which I try to enter the same field in a query multiple times and it only displays the field once. As in if I entered the field with the number being (for example) 8150 multiple times, it would only display it once.
This image shows the query.
I've already checked everything on ms access 2000 to try to resolve this issue but I've come up with nothing suitable.
I know your data set is simplified, but looking at your data, inputs, etc, it appears your query is pulling from a single table and repeating results -- so there is no join consideration.
I think the issue is your DISTINCTROW in the query, which is removing all duplicate values.
If you remove the "DISTINCTROW," I believe it may give you what you are expecting. In other words, change this:
SELECT DISTINCTROW Ring.[Ring Number], Ring.[Mounting Weight]
FROM Ring
To this:
SELECT Ring.[Ring Number], Ring.[Mounting Weight]
FROM Ring
For what it's worth, there may also be some strategies to simplifying how this query is run in the future (less dependence on dialog box prompts), but I know you probably want to address the issue at a hand first, so let me know if this doesn't do it.
-- EDIT --
The removal of distinct still applies, but I suddenly see the problem. The query is depicting the logic as "OR" of multiple values. Therefore, repeating the value does not mean multiple rows, it just means you've repeated a true condition.
For example, if I have:
Fruit Count
------ ------
Apple 1
Pear 1
Kiwi 3
and I say select where Fruit is Apple or Apple or Apple or Apple, the query is still only going to list the first row. Once the "Or" condition matches true, short-circuiting kicks in, and no other conditions matter.
That does not sound like what you want.
Here's what I think you need to do:
Get rid of the prompts within the query
Load your options into a separate table -- the repetition can occur here
Change your query to perform an inner join on the new table
New table (named "Selection" for the sake of example):
Entry Ring Number Mounting Weight
----- ----------- ----------------
1 8105 you get the idea...
2 8110
3 8110
4 8110
5 8115
6 8130
7 8130
8 8130
9 8130
10 8150
New Query:
select
Ring.[Ring Number], Ring.[Mounting Weight]
from
Ring
Inner join Selection on Ring.[Ring Number] = Selection.[Ring Number]
This has the added advantage of allowing more (or less) than 10 records
I have a sheet that has become complex, it has a lot of filters and I need to populate a table with data. I am counting how many times a month we run a product. If we run it once a day, or more, I want to only count that as one.
Date Product Grizzly
1/1 2.5 open
1/1 1.5 closed
1/1 2.5 closed
1/1 2.5 open
Something a little more elaborate than this, but what I need is to count this as one day of 2.5 grizzly closed, instead of two.
Any help? I feel like there is something simple I am missing but cant put my thumb on it and I have spent well over 15 hours working on this.
As found on the following link:

Try using the DCOUNTA function within Excel.
Although I'm also sure that you could use a pivot chart to provide the same outcome.
EDIT:
I am assuming you are starting with data like the following:
I then created the following table which you can extend to comply with you total data value. For example, you can add extra dates and products.:
The table is populated using a COUNTIFS function.
=COUNTIFS("DateRange",DateCriteria, "ProductRange", ProductCriteria, "GrizzlyRange", GrizzlyCriteria)
So in my table the formula looks like this but the cell references will obviously changes according to your spreadsheet (I used absolute references to make it easier to use the fill handle to copy the formula down:
=COUNTIFS($A:$A,$E4,$B:$B,$F$3,$C:$C,$F$2)
I next nestled this formula in to an IF statement and applied a conditional formatting to end up with the following:
So the formula for each of the cells is now:
=IF("OriginalFormula),"Yes","No")
Example of my 01/01/2015, 1.5 open value:
=IF(COUNTIFS($A:$A,$E4,$B:$B,$F$3,$C:$C,$F$2),"Yes","No")
BUT - You can change the "Yes" and "No" to "1" and "0" if you want to stick with numerical values.
