I am developing a hockey scoresheet for my son's youth team. I need to figure out how to sum goals by period. I have up to 16 goals per game. Each is identified by period and some other data not relevant to this question (Jersey, assists, etc.). Once the data is entered, I want to show total goals by period. I need help with this part.
Specifically, I need a formula which will look at column A (Period) and if the condition is met add the value in column B (which will typically, but not always be 1) to column G (Period 1 Total). Also, do the same for columns C & D and E & F. Always adding the value to column G.
Columns A,C,D are the period the goal is scored. Columns B,D,F is the point value added. (In reality, my spreadsheet does this with 16 possible goals, but for illustrative purposes, I'm only showing 3 possible goals.)
So, Column G will have a formula that says,
If A = 1 then add B to G
If C = 1 then add D to G
If E = 1 then add F to G
G could have a result of 0 to 3 depending how many goals are scored.
My belief is that additional Columns H and I will represent periods 2 and 3. These two columns will use the same formula as G, except filtering for "2" or "3" in columns A,C,D.
I hope the examples help make sense of the request. Thank you.
Example 1: 3 goals scored in first period
---Goal 1------------Goal 2-----------Goal 3-------Period 1
Period Goal----Period Goal----Period Goal----Goals
--A--------B--------C-------D---------E-------F---------G
--1--------1---------1-------1----------1-------1----------3
Example 1: 2 goals scored in first period
---Goal 1------------Goal 2-----------Goal 3-------Period 1
Period Goal----Period Goal----Period Goal----Goals
--A--------B--------C-------D---------E-------F---------G
--1--------1---------1-------1---------- ------- ----------2
Example 3: 2 goals scored in first period 1 goal scored in period 2
---Goal 1------------Goal 2-----------Goal 3-------Period 1
Period Goal----Period Goal----Period Goal----Goals
--A--------B--------C-------D---------E-------F---------G
--1--------1---------1-------1----------2-------1----------2
You can use SUMIFS()
=SUMIFS(B3:F3,$B$2:$F$2,"Goal",A3:E3,1)
Turns out it was much easier than I thought. I was overthinking things.
=SUM(IF(A1=1,B1),IF(C1=1,D1),IF(E1=1,D1))
Thanks for viewing. I hope this helps someone else out.

I need a count of how many date items fall within Data 1 & Data 2
ie:
x-1 will have a count of 2
x-2 will have a count of 1
-x-3 will have a count of 2
-y-1 will have a count of 2
What would be the best way to go abouts when approaching this?
Data 1
Data 2
Date
x
1
Date 1

Date 1
x

Date 2
x

Date 3
x

Date 3
y
1
Date 1
y

Date 1
I see only one way to interpret with the available information:
To count the number of times Date_to_test falls within Date_1 and Date_2 (screenshot below, sheet here), you could use either the sum or something like a countifs (with interim calc):
sum approach
=SUM(1*($C$2:$C$11<=$B$2:$B$11)*($A$2:$A$11<=$C$2:$C$11))
countifs + interim calc
helper
=1*(C2<=B2)*(A2<=C2)
(additional column, drag down)
countifs
=COUNTIFS($D$2:$D$11,1)
Screenshot
Alternative
as for the 'sum' approach, sumproduct variants (e.g. =SUMPRODUCT(1*($C$2:$C$11<=$B$2:$B$11),1*($B$2:$B$11>=$A$2:$A$11))) are calculation/memory intensive
despite the countifs + helper approach containing more 'visible' data - these values need only be calculated once, the countifs can then be determined independently (assuming no updates to the helper column) - thus making it more memory/calculation efficient depending upon your calculation mode, screen-updating preferences
Caveat
if, by some misfortune re: interpreting your question, you are referring to some other means of establishing whether "date items fall within Data 1 & Data 2", then without knowing what this is, there very low likelihood of being able to guess this correctly
I am trying to count the total of Unique Dates based on the location.
Context: I trying to create a formula for counting the number of unique dates based on location. My Spreadsheet looks like this
A B C
1 **Participant Location Date**
2 Participant-A High School X 11/7
3 Participant-B High School X 11/7
4 Participant-C High School X 11/8
5 Participant-E High School Y 11/7
6 Participant-F High School Z 11/7
7 Participant-G High School Z 11/8
So for example: high School X had 2 different dates. What would the formula be to count the unique dates based on the location?
This is also being completed on google sheets.
Thank you!
Another way (with no helper columns) would be to use query() and unique().
=query(unique(B:C), "Select Col1, count(Col2) where Col1 <>'' group by Col1 label count(Col2)'# of unique dates'", 1)
Illustration:
With a simple helper column :
=1/COUNTIFS($A$2:$A$7,A7,$B$2:$B$7,B7)
And to get your results :
=SUMIF($A$2:$A$7,E2,$C$2:$C$7)
This is not one-formula solution but I think it works. First, create a third column concatenating the columns that you want to compare. In this case, at cell D2 write:
=CONCATENATE(B2,C2)
This is for the first row of your example. Then, replicate that to the following rows.
Finally, create a formula that counts unique values:
=SUM(IF(FREQUENCY(IF(LEN(D2:D7)>0,MATCH(D2:D7,D2:D7,0),""), IF(LEN(D2:D7)>0,MATCH(D2:D7,D2:D7,0),""))>0,1))
Assuming your new column of concatenated values is at D2:D7.
I have strings of spreadsheet data that need counting by 'type' but not instance.
A B C D
1 Lin 1 2 1
2 Tom 1 4 2
3 Sue 3 1 4
The correct sum of students assigned to teacher 1 is 3, not 4. That teacher 1 meets Lin in lessons B and D is irrelevant to the count.
I borrowed a formula which works in Excel but not in Google Sheets where I and others need to keep and manipulate the data.
F5=SUMPRODUCT(SIGN(COUNTIF(OFFSET(B$2:D$2, ROW($2:$4)-1, 0), E5)))
A B C D E
2 Lin 1 2 1
3 Tom 1 4 2
4 Sue 3 1 4
5 1 [exact string being searched for, ie a teacher name]
I don't know what is not being understood by Google Sheets in that formula. Does anyone know the correct expression to use, or a more efficient way to get the accurate count I need, without duplicates within rows inflating the count?
So this is the mmult way, which works by finding the row totals of students assigned to teacher 1 etc., then seeing how many of the totals are greater than 0.
=ArrayFormula(sum(--(mmult(n(B2:D4=E5),transpose(column(B2:D4)))>0)))
or
=ArrayFormula(sum(sign(mmult(n(B2:D4=E5),transpose(column(B2:D4))))))
Also works in Excel if entered as an array formula without the ArrayFormula wrapper.
A specific Google Sheets one can be quite short
=ArrayFormula(COUNTUNIQUE((B2:D4=E5)*row(B2:D4)))-1
counting the unique rows containing a match.
Note - I am subtracting 1 in the last formula above because I am assuming there is at least one zero (non-match) which should be ignored. This would fail in the extreme case where all students in all classes are assigned to the same teacher so you have a matrix (e.g.) of all 1's. This would be more theoretically correct:
=ArrayFormula(COUNTUNIQUE(if(B2:D4=E5,row(B2:D4),"")))
I have thought long and hard about this, but I can't find a solution to what I believe is quite a simple problem.
I have a table of results, where sometimes someone will be given a penalty of a varying amount. This is entered into the penalty column (Col C).
I need a formula which checks if there is an entry into the penalty column and applies it, not only to that row, but to the number of subsequent rows which are affected, depending on the severity of the penalty.
I have tried to see if this is possible by referencing the penalty against the 'ROW()' function but have not been able to achieve the desired effect.
Col D shows the desired output of the formula.
Col E is included for reference only, to show the desired effect on each row.
Col A Col B Col C Col D Col E
Pos Name Penalty New Pos Change
1 Jack 1 0
2 Matt 2 0
3 Daniel 2 5 +2
4 Gordon 3 -1
5 Phillip 4 -1
6 Günther 6 0
7 Johann 3 10 +3
8 Alain 7 -1
9 John 8 -1
10 Gianmaria 9 -1
The big issue is, if someone is handed a big penalty, for example '10' then it affects the following ten rows. I can't work out how to include this variable logic...
I would be interested to hear the approach of others...
You need to use the RANK() function:
Excel RANK Function Examples
In a new column, add the penalty value to the original position, plus a small coeffieient depending on the original position (0.01 per increment perhaps) to move the penalised player below the original person at that position, then in the next column you can RANK() the new column of values (F in my case).
New value is therefore =A2+(IF(C2>0,C2+(0.01*A2)))
Rank is then =RANK(F2,F2:F11,1)
You can combine all the functions into one, but it's clearer to do it in separate columns at first.
I'd like to accomplish the following task. There are three columns of data. Column A represents price, where the sum needs to be kept under $100,000. Column B represents a value. Column C represents a name tied to columns A & B.
Out of >100 rows of data, I need to find the highest 8 values in column B while keeping the sum of the prices in column A under $100,000. And then return the 8 names from column C.
Can this be accomplished?
EDIT:
I attempted the Solver solution w/ no luck. 200 rows looks to be the max w/ Solver, and that is what I'm using now. Here are the steps I've taken:
Create a column called rank RANK(B2,$B$2:$B$200) (used column D -- what is the purpose of this?)
Create a column called flag just put in zeroes (used column E)
Create 3 total cells total_price (=SUM(A2:A200)), total_value (=SUM(B2:B200)) and total_flag (=(E2:E200))
Use solver to minimize total_value (shouldn't this be maximize??)
Add constraints -Total_price<=100000 -Total_flag=8 -Flag cells are binary
Using Simplex LP, it simply changes the flags for the first 8 values. However, the total price for the first 8 values is >$100,000 ($140k). I've tried changing some options in the Solver Parameters as well as using different solving methods to no avail. I'd like to post an image of the parameter settings, but don't have enough "reputation".
EDIT #2:
The first 5 rows looks like this, price goes down to ~$6k at the bottom of the table.
Price Value Name Rank Flag
$22,538 42.81905675 Blow, Joe 1 0
$22,427 37.36240932 Doe, Jane 2 0
$17,158 34.12127693 Hall, Cliff 3 0
$16,625 33.97654031 Povich, John 4 0
$15,631 33.58212402 Cow, Holy 5 0
I'll give you the solver solution as a starting point. It involves the creation of some extra columns and total cells. Note solver is limited in the amount of cells it can handle but will work with 100 anyway.
Create a column called rank RANK(B2,$B$2:$B$100)
Create a column called flag just put in zeroes
Create 3 total cells total_price, total_value and total_flag
Use solver to minimize total_value
Add constraints
-Total_price<=100000
-Total_flag=8
-Flag cells are binary
This will flag the rows you want and you can grab the names however you want.
