I'm trying to get an array formula to get the multiple results in a single cell. Is that possible?
For example below, I'd like to show in D2 all the names in column B corresponding to rows for values less than 4 in column A.
My current attempt below:
A C
2 Jane
3 John
6 Thomas
1 Michael
2 Mary
7 Jason
3 Gloria
1 Andrea
=CONCAT(INDEX($B$2:$B$9,IF($A$2:$A$9<4,$B$2:$B$9)))
My desired result would be:
Jane, Michael, Mary, Andrea
You need FILTER() then TEXTJOIN().
=TEXTJOIN(", ",TRUE,FILTER(B2:B9,A2:A9<4))
If I have a table:
Column A
Column B
Column C
1
Jane
10
2
Stewe
9
3
John
8
4
Mike
7
5
Luke
6
6
Andrew
5
7
Carl
4
8
Sasha
3
9
Ariel
2
10

I would like to SELECT 3 rows above and below WHERE Column B = someValue .
IF query SELECT * WHERE Column B = "Andrew" result should look like:
Column A
Column B
Column C
3
John
8
4
Mike
7
5
Luke
6
6
Andrew
5
7
Carl
4
8
Sasha
3
9
Ariel

I know how to select one row, but cant understand how to select such range.
Thanks for ideas!
You can limit and offset inside your QUERY():
=QUERY(A1:C,"limit "&2+MIN(5,MATCH(D1,B:B,0))&" offset "&MAX(0,MATCH(D1,B:B,0)-5))
Well, this was fun...
If 3 above or below are not available then blank... rolling data around is a different proposition.
Below the image is the list of formulae used.
So, per cell not including the data validation that is based on cells B2:B11
A14 and dragged down:
=IFERROR(INDEX($A$2:$A$11,MATCH(B14,$B$2:$B$11,0)),"")
C14 and dragged down:
=IFERROR(INDEX($C$2:$C$11,MATCH(B14,$B$2:$B$11,0)),"")
Cells B14 through B20:
=IFERROR(IF(MATCH(B$17,$B$2:$B$11,0)=3,NA(),INDEX($B$2:$B$11,MATCH(B$17,$B$2:$B$11,0)-3)),"")
=IFERROR(IF(MATCH(B$17,$B$2:$B$11,0)=2,NA(),INDEX($B$2:$B$11,MATCH(B$17,$B$2:$B$11,0)-2)),"")
=IFERROR(IF(MATCH(B$17,$B$2:$B$11,0)=1,NA(),INDEX($B$2:$B$11,MATCH(B$17,$B$2:$B$11,0)-1)),"")
=E2
=IFERROR(INDEX($B$2:$B$11,MATCH(B$17,$B$2:$B$11,0)+1),"")
=IFERROR(INDEX($B$2:$B$11,MATCH(B$17,$B$2:$B$11,0)+2),"")
=IFERROR(INDEX($B$2:$B$11,MATCH(B$17,$B$2:$B$11,0)+3),"")
In Excel 365, you could try:
=INDEX(A:C,MAX(2,MATCH(D2,B:B,0)-3),0):INDEX(A:C,MIN(COUNTA(B:B),MATCH(D2,B:B,0)+3),0)
In Google sheets, on the other hand, the formula would be:
=INDEX(A:C,MAX(2,MATCH(D2,B:B,0)-3),0):INDEX(A:C,MIN(COUNTA(B:B),MATCH(D2,B:B,0)+3),0)
(spot the difference).
Excel
Google Sheets
This should produce what you want in all cases:
=IFERROR(FILTER(A2:C,B2:B<>"",ROW(A2:A)>=VLOOKUP("Andrew",{B2:B,ROW(B2:B)},2,FALSE)-3,ROW(A2:A)<=VLOOKUP("Andrew",{B2:B,ROW(B2:B)},2,FALSE)+3))
Of course, you can replace the two instances of "Andrew" with a cell reference (one where you type a changeable name).
This just looks up the row in a curly-bracket array formed from the names and row numbers and uses FILTER to keep results to rows between +/-3 rows of where the target name is found. If you choose the first name (or any other name), you won't get an error; because even if the target name were on Row 1 and the formula goes looking for anything "greater than or equal to 1 minus 3, all rows will be greater than a negative number. Same on the high end. You just won't get a full seven names if there aren't at least three other rows prior to or after the target row.
this not the best solution but it will work , you can use a helper column 'D' that contains the following formula =if(countif(INDIRECT("B"&ROW()+3&":"&"B"&ROW()-3),"Andrew")>0,TRUE,FASLE)
and u can query from here like this SELECT * WHERE Column D = TRUE
My data set looks something like this:
ID Name1 Name2
1 Jack Tom
1 Tom Tom
1 Lisa Tom
2 Tom
2 Tom
3 Frank Frank
3 John Frank
3 Frank Frank
3 John Frank
4 Tom
4 Tom
5 Lisa
5 Jack
and I want the following output:
Result
1
2
4
Note: I want the unique IDs for Tom if "Tom" shows in one of the two name columns.
I tried to use the following formula:
IFERROR(INDEX(INDIRECT($B$14); MATCH(0; IF($B$10=INDIRECT($B$16); IF($B$10=INDIRECT($B$15); COUNTIF($E$27:E27; INDIRECT($B$14)); "")); 0));"")
The problem is that this only gives me ID nr 1 as output since Tom shows up in both columns in this case. I think I need to implement an OR-statement to the formula.
Explanation of my formula:
Indirect(B14): array for the call IDs. B14 contains a name of this array.
B10: Contains the name I want to match (i.e. "Tom")
Indirect(B16): column Name1
Indirect(B15): column Name2
Good answers will be rewarded:)
I used your formula (without INDIRECT statements) and added ISNUMBER & FIND in order to find "Tom" in a combination of columns B and C:
This is an array formula (Ctrl+Shift+Enter):
=IFERROR(INDEX($A$1:$A$14,MATCH(0,COUNTIF($F$1:F1,IF(ISNUMBER(FIND("Tom",$B$1:$B$14&$C$1:$C$14)),$A$1:$A$14,"")),0)),"")
Result:
I couldn't use INDIRECT references as I'm not sure what exactly they point to (i.e. what are the ranges & column names). I hope it won't be too difficult for you to modify my formula in order to match your references.
Hope it helps! Cheers.
I have a table excel with one column and X rows.
4 various informations
example:
row 1 2 3 4 = informations for 1
row 5 6 7 8 = information for 2
I would like to know how can I do to have these information by row instead of by column?
Example:
paul
madrid
14
victor
canada
23
emilie
paris
18
and I Would like:
paul Victor Emilie
Madrid Canada Paris
14 23 18
If you want change data only once, use Copy/Paste
Switch (transpose) columns and rows
Or if you want use formula
TRANSPOSE function
Or you can use the INDIRECT function instead. It's a bit tricky but it works :
On the same sheet where you have :
Paul
Madrid
23
Victor
Montréal
22
Aude
Copenhague
17
Valérie
Alger
28
Add something like (for example on columns B, C, D) :
1 2 3
4 5 6
7 8 9
10 11 12
etc.
It's easy to do with =X+3 formula and drag down formula.
Then, this matrix represent the position of each element in the list, you now just have to use INDIRECT in this way :
=INDIRECT("A" & B1)
A is the column where are your data
B1 is the position of the first element in the matrix
By draging this formula down and on the right, you will the matrix with the A's elements.
(Using example where source column in G2:G100 and target table in H2:J34.)
Type formula below in first cell of target table (H2):
=OFFSET($G$2;(ROW()-ROW($2:$2))*3+COLUMN()-COLUMN($H:$H);0)
Replacing $G$2 with first cell of source data, $2:$2 with first row of target table and $H:$H with first column of target table (mind the $).
Then just drag formula left and then bottom.
I have a spreadsheet that looks like this:
A B C D
1 Bob 10/02/2013 10
2 Bob 10/02/2013 2
3 Bob 10/02/2013 8
4 Steve 10/01/2013 6
5 Steve 10/01/2013 6
6 Sally 10/01/2013 6
The requirement is that if A1 matches anything else in column A (A1,A2, and A3) AND B1 matches anything in column B (B1,B2,B3) Then add up the values C, divide by 4 and put that in D.
I want to do this for the whole sheet (500ish rows).
You may use the SUMIFS function. Below is sample.
Formula =SUMIFS(C1:C5,A1:A5,A1,B1:B5,B1)
OR
Or can use SUMPRODUCT function .
=SUMPRODUCT($C$1:$C$5,--($A$1:$A$5=$A1)*--($B$1:$B$5=B1))/4
