this is my first question here so I am uncertain on how to word things. However, I am looking into the kableExtra package for creating different tables than the ones I currently know in gt. This is my table output from gt.
enter image description here
Now what I am trying to do is group my kable table in a similar way to this. This data set is exactly what you see, with the addition of a column I have named "x" that includes Prevalence, Abundance, and Intensity for each different row. Is there a way to have a similar output for a kable table? The difficulty that I am having is because this table in gt is so lengthy it doesn't fit very well in a document. Thank you for any help.

I am trying generate a summary page for a list of lessons from a different sheet.
I'm currently using the formula =UNIQUE(FILTER('Lessons NEW'!$E2:$E1009,(RIGHT(LEFT('Lessons NEW'!$E2:$E1009,5),1)="1")+(LEN('Lessons NEW'!$E2:$E1009)=3))) to do so.
This is displaying my list like so, with the code column being the only really important one, as the rest could be fetched from it's result.
This works, but there are two features that I want working that I've not been able to find a way to do;
Split the output into groups. I am after a title to each group/section, and a gap between them too. As in screenshot here.
Arrange it to display in multiple columns (As in have half the results in column B, and half in column G for example.) In the process of this, I'd prefer the resulting sections (as in point 1, aren't broken, and kept together instead of being split between columns.
I'm not sure if what I'm asking is too much, or very much doable, but keen for suggestions or ideas if there is a way.
Thanks in advance!
EDIT:
I've updated the formula (above) and added a title to the source column that it's fetching from. It's now producing this.
What I want it to do, is to break it further for aesthetics and for easy separation when others are looking at it, and to bolden the title row for each section. (I think I can work out the conditional formatting for the title row...)
This is what I want it to end up looking like.

I have two table that are vertical to one another. I make the following 3rd table from the formula below (Also see picture):
=INDEX($C$3:$C$30,MATCH(1,($I3=$A$3:$A$30)*($K3=$E$3:$E$30)*(L$2=$D$3:$D$30),0))
What I need help with is how to make this formula get data from a horizontal set of tables or tables from different worksheets:
Can I chain together ranges like so?
=INDEX($D$3:$D$14:$M$17:$M$28,MATCH(1,($J3=$A$3:$A$14:$J$17:$J$28)*($L3=$F$3:$F$14:$O$17:$O$28)*(M$2=$E$3:$E$14:$N$17:$N$28),0))
It's not working and I know there MUST be a way to do it.
The information I provided was incorrect for the second table in the Day column this might have been the reason it wasn't initially working. I have fixed it and used the suggestion given by Scott Craner!
The function that works is:
=IFERROR(INDEX($D$3:$D$14,MATCH(1,($J3=$A$3:$A$14)*($L3=$F$3:$F$14)*(M$2=$E$3:$E$14),0)), INDEX($M$17:$M$28,MATCH(1,($J3=$J$17:$J$28)*($L3=$O$17:$O$28)*(M$2=$N$17:$N$28),0)))
I have a huge table with data structured like this:
And I would like to display them in Spotfire Analyst 7.11 as follows:
Basically I need to display the columns that contain "ANTE" below the others in order to make a comparison. Values that have variations for the same ID must be highlighted.
I also have the fields "START_DATE_ANTE" and "END_DATE_ANTE" which have been omitted in the example image.
Amusingly, if you were limited to just what the title asks, this would be a very simple answer.
If you wanted this in a table where the rows are displayed as usual, and the cells are highlighted, you can do this by going to properties, adding a newGrouping where you select VAL_1 and VAL_1_ANTE and add a Rule, Rule type "Boolean expression", where the value is:
[VAL_1] - [VAL_1_ANTE] <> 0
This will highlight the affected cells, which you can place next to each other. You can even throw in a calculated column showing the difference between the two columns, and slap it on right next to it. This gives you the further option to filter down to only showing rows with discrepancies, or sorting by these values.
However, if you actually need it to display the POSTs on different lines from the ANTEs, as formatted above, things get a little tricky.
My personal preference would be to pivot (split/union/etc) the data before pulling it in to Spotfire, with an indicator flag on "is this different", yes/no. However, I know a lot of Spotfire users either aren't using a database or don't have leeway to perform the SQL themselves.
In fact, if you try to do it in Spotfire using custom expressions alone, it becomes so tricky, I'm not sure how to answer it right off. I'm inclined to think you should be able to do it in a cross table, using Subsets, but I haven't figured out a way to identify which subset you're in while inside the custom expressions.
Other options include generating a table using IronPython, if you're up to that.
I am using Surveymonkey for a questionnaire. Most of my data has a regular scale from 0-6, and additionally an "Other" option that people can use in case they choose to not answer the item. However, when I download the data, Surveymonkey automatically assigns a value of 0 to that not-answer category, and it appears this cant be changed.
This leads to me not knowing when a zero in my numeric dataset actually means zero or just participants choosing to not answer the question. I can only figure that out by looking at another file that includes the labels of participants answers (all answers are provided by the corresponding labels, so this datafile misses all non-labeled answers...).
This leads me to my problem: I have two excel files of same size. I would need to find a way to find certain values in one dataset (text value, scattered randomly over dataset), and replace the corresponding numeric values in the other dataset (at the same position in the dataset) with those values.
I thought it would just be possible to find all values and copy paste in the same pattern, but I cannot seem to find a way to do that. I feel like I am missing an obvious solution, but after searching for quite a while I really could not find an answer to my specific question.
I have never worked with macros or more advanced excel programming before, but have a bit of knowledge about programming in itself. I hope I explained this well, I would be very thankful for any suggestions or scripts that could help me out here!
Thank you!

I don't know how your Excel file is organised, but if it's like the legacy Condensed format, all you should need to do is to select the column corresponding to a given question (if that's what you have), and search and replace all 0 (match entire cell) with the text you want.
I'd like to sort a time series of exam performance by one of three categories:
Ideally, a function would sort the scores by "difficulty" while still preserving chronological order. I'd like to do this without filters etc. Something like this is very close, but not quite there. Do I need to use dynamic ranges? Or can I just define data ranges in the table dialog with VLOOKUP or INDEX/MATCH?
I'm thinking a bar graph would be the easiest way to illustrate the data, but I'm open to suggestions. New scores are added every day, with varying difficulties.
Here is the spreadsheet if anyone would like to look it over.
EDIT:
The output visualization could be, for example, a clustered bar graph, but with only one label per category. The idea is that I'd like to preserve chronological order without necessarily having to mark it on the graph.
Would there, for instance, be a quick-and easy and formula-driven way to put these 14 and 17 values for "score" all together under one label? I feel like 17 bar graphs clustered too closely would be hard to read.
I realize this is more of a formatting than a formula issue, but I appreciate input with regards to both.
I would recommend you add a Table over the data in the workbook. One for verbal and one for math. The upside is that it will automatically grow with your data as you add new rows. This is very helpful because charts and other things will automatically refer to the new data. Add one with CTRL+T or Insert->Table on the Ribbon.
Once you have the Table, you can easily do the sorting bit by adding a two column sort onto the Table. This menu is accessible by right clicking in the Table and doing Sort->Custom Sort. Again, the Table is nice here because it will only sort the data within it (not the whole sheet) and will remember your settings. This lets you add new data and simply do Data->Reapply to get it to sort again. Your sort on Difficulty is going to be alphabetic unless you add a number at the front. Here is the sorting step:
With this done, you can create a quick chart based on that data. For the "implicit chronology" you can simply plot score vs. difficulty for all of them since they are sorted.
To get closer to that matrix style display, you can easily create a PivotTable based on this Table and let it do the organizing by date/difficulty. Here is the result of that. I am using Average as the aggregation function since it appears that no dates have more than 1 score. If they did, it would be a better choice than Sum.
