Very good tip. I use this on every sheet. You probably know that you can remove the double minus and it will work, but the way you do makes it more understandable she you're multiplying integers instead of booleans. I also use over extra if statement to check if the current row is the first to output the column name. This way I can have the formulas in the first row.
Thank you! I managed to create a consolidated file from 7 different files leveraging your other video regarding Import Range & Query function but had a tough time writing the formula as the columns were either added or removed in the main file. This video helped me solve the problem, thank you so much :)
Man, God bless you! You always make things easy with extensive examples and explanations! I can’t get tired of watching your exciting videos. Regards, Salem, Saudi Arabia
dude! You saved me! I didn't want to fill a new cell every time I added a value, and I didn't want to look at duplicate future values. Only one adjustment for me - I have 2 rows - one for expenses and one for accruals which can contain empty values, so I set the "IF" statement to the description cell. So, now I need to put a description in the cell for all future formulas to execute! Love it!!!
Nice workaround, beautiful work, as always :) These 'don't work in an array' situations are tripping me up so many times - could you run through a hitlist of their worst offenders (and similar workarounds would be really appreciated!)
Brilliant. I needed this months ago, but I am thrilled to save errors in the future! Thank you! (Found out the array doesn't work when the table is sorted though).
This is brilliant and I just found it! But in my case I only need the automatic formula yet I need the reference to be relative, since this method seems turns the reference into absolute. Is there any workaround?
Arrayformula can only allow a single if statement - you can try and make use of another column and try another arrayformula if statement and then combined as a single column. or keep loking for more info. im about to try this option and i guess ill post my result with your comment here below :)
thank you very much, it is the first time i see -- before the true/false make 0, 1. btw, i contribute another option =iferror(arrayformula(if(isblank(b2:b);"";b2:b/c2:c));"")
Thanks for the video ;) Before you made your final formula i managed to get it there with an IF inside an IF and it also did the trick =ARRAYFORMULA( IF( D3:D="";""; IF(E3:E="";""; D3:D*E3:E) ) )
Thank you so much. This was really very helpful. However, I am using an array formula in my calculation and I want that calculation to be auto-filled in the cells below. Hence, I need to use 2 array formulas (or say, nested array formula) in one formula itself. Can that be done? Thanks in advance.
I know this is a year later, but I have been trying this. I have found you cannot use an if statement inside an if statement. However, there is an ifs statement which uses multiples on sequential order.
Thanks for this video. The formulae in the example worked as you can replacd the cell reference the whole column reference. But would this work with a vlookup - as i cant take the cell reference out as its needed as part of the formula? If you can please advise?
Thanks for the clear video & information. One question, I can't get it to work with the query function. Is that correct or is there a trick? Thanks! :)
Hi, this helped me a lot, I am struggling with an array / query function that shows the arrayformula answer separately. It does not combine the answer. It works on other tabs. Can this be because of the regional setting as it has dates in?
Hie Sir. What formula can l use to calculate a total for today, then the same formula must detect the change of date tomorrow and start a new and fresh calculation which will be only for tomorrow. the next day it will repeat the same process by itself, automatically without being manually dragged down. Thank you.
A question, if I have an "GoogleTranslate" formular with also "IFERROR" and "UPPER" it is suposed to work?! Because I have this formula for an example and it is not auto filling it!! Formula: =ArrayFormula ( IFERROR (UPPER ( GOOGLETRANSLATE ( J2:J , "pt" , "en" ) ) , " " ) ) Is this possible?! (I want to auto fill a document translating from "Portuguese" and "English") Thanks
Here is a formula you can use to sum multiple columns: =ARRAYFORMULA(IF((P4:P+Q4:Q+R4:R+S4:S+T4:T)=0,"",P4:P+Q4:Q+R4:R+S4:S+T4:T)) But it returns #VALUE error if one of the columns contains text. So all columns must have numerical values!
Hi there. Any idea how to apply the following formula only to certain rows? For example, there are 10 rows with 3 different users and the formula needs to find the average of the 3 latest values for each user individually. =ArrayFormula(IFERROR(average(query(IF(len('Month Tracker'!$C:$C),{ROW('Month Tracker'!$C:$C),'Month Tracker'!$G:$G},),"Select Col2 where Col2>0 order by Col1 Desc limit 3"))))
Hey friend, you have Been very helpful, could you help me fix this, The Closed Spams down the Columns and i Cant See to implement the "","" it gives error =ARRAYFORMULA((IF(D122:D=false,"OPEN","CLOSED"))) basically In columns D it becomes true And false, False being Open And True being closed but since empty Fields CLOSED gets spammed.
I've created a league table and I need to find a way to auto populate a cell with whoever has the highest points total - Sales Advisor winner of the month. I feel like this is easy but I can't think what formula to use. Can someone suggest?
I'm trying to set up a conditional running total with sumifs. but I can't make it autofill!! My columns are: A=Date,B= Region,C=Total Sales of the day, D=Running total I want to calculate column D, the running total of Sales, for each Date for each Region. The sumifs formula that I want to autofill is, for cell D2, SUMIFS(C:C, B:B, B2, A:A, "
A good use for it is in a Google Form response, if you want a formula in a column next to the entry. Normally, the response will remove the formula when its submitted, but an array formula will just populate down automatically! No need to go back in and pull that formula down.
When I have seen this video, i was very much excited that I thought, now my work is done. but... it's not working in my google sheet. Please help me in this regard. I have a google form response sheet where i have collected email address and allowd individual to do multimple entries. now i want to count their entries in the last column using countif($b$2:b2,b2) formula and want to use this arrayformula that it will happen automatically when the new entry is being done. further i also want to send the individual that he/she has filled up these much entries. but, the array is not working in down cells. please help me. what to do?
It won't work for your formula, however, you could use your formula on a copy sheet with in IF statement. This video should teach you how to do it ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-oa-CuxbTJ9g.html
The only easy answer is to remove blank rows from your spreadsheets. If you've already done that than it's very complicated to solve. Sometimes it's best to just not use arrays. I have a video that shows how to drag down formulas with a script in order to not use arrays.
Great staff Sir. lam trying to automatically drag down running total, but lam not winning. here is my situation: Cell "H2 = 100", "H3 = 200" , "H4 = 300". l want to do a running total on column "I" and let it happen automatically than to be pulling down the formula. The running total formula lam using is: =sum($H$2:H2)
Hello. I'm trying to create a SUM column. I want to know how much i spent to today, using SUM the current value to the prior sum above like "=A2 + B1". But ArrayFormula create a circular reference. "=ArrayFormula(if(L2:L "";L2:L + M1:M;""))" I'm trying array formula because i am always create 1 more line e copy the functions. Maybe this could simplify thanks
@@ExcelGoogleSheets I literally copied your formula (Comma error). I dont understand the 4 and 5º params in OFFSET formula. Still receiving a REF error message. An observation in the OFFSET help center says: "If OFFSET is used as an array formula, it is possible for the value returned by the array formula to replace part of the offset target, causing a circular reference. If this occurs, the error #REF! will be returned." Thanks again
@@Paulobrrs Can't be in M, has to be in another column. Also you probably have semicolons as a separator. =ArrayFormula(if(L2:L "";L2:L + OFFSET(M2;-1;0;ROWS(M2:M);1);""))
I'm clearly doing something wrong. here. Let's try again. It's like my bank statement. Column "L" contains some amount I spent (start at L2. Cell "M1" contains my starting balance for the month. So for each expense, I want to know the current balance. Initially "M2" is "=L2 + M1". And then, M3 is "= L3 + M2". So for each row I will have my current balance. The result should be at M collumn. Should arrayformula be put above everything? I will try something like that...or maybe my starting balance must be at L1...

I need help guys! Brief: - I am looking to automate cell F3 [Win/ Loss] with a drag formula down. - Data will be taken from cell C3 [Player 1] & cell E3 [Result] Objective: - I'm trying to make cell F3 to either remain a blank, say Win or Loss. Formula Problem: - I have spent almost 3 hours working out the required formual! - I know I need ARRAYFORMULA and IF. So Far I have tried the following: =ARRAYFORMULA(IF(C3:C=E3:E,"Win","Loss")) However, in cell F3:F this enters Win in entire column and this is not what I want. - I have tried other options but they all say error or n/a which is very annoying. My last resort is to ask for some help and can someone share/ tell me that correct formula that I need?
i'm just here to figure out what the alternative way is to double click the handle on the bottom right corner (when you mark cells or rows that has to fill vertically downwards) - just what you’d expect when using MS Excel *without dragging of course (i mean, that's the obvious way that everyone should know of, i think)
@@ExcelGoogleSheets hi, i am actually, right now, (ok, i was - have been editing this post for awhile) in the middle of trying to understand this ehm, seems that i can’t use this auto function when working with..functions example: (let’s say i want to replace blank cells with a value) - column a has rows of text that’s been copy pasted from another text file (some of these rows are blank..) - in column b i paste this function (below) into the first row: (and want to double-click the cell handle) // if=(isblank(a1),”blank”,a1) Edit: wait..now it works on functions as well --- ok, here’s the real reason that i got this far down the rabbit whole i actually just wanted to replace blank cells with a value (using the ‘find and replace’-edit tool) - apparently i can’t search for blank cells this way i have tried pasting either of these into the search field: (without the quotes) “^\s*$” or “^([\t]*)$” and made sure ‘match chase’ and ’search using regular expressions’ were enabled (but without any luck) hmm, i also better got to learn how to use ‘=arrayformula(‘ because it gets mentioned quite a lot everywhere (ok, i’m just exaggerating this, but i just stumped upon this formula expression again as i tried to figure out on how to fill down in a ranges series - let’s say from 1 to 100) *have to learn to create this range to actually make the auto fill handle useful (so it has something to “stick” in case there is a blank cell) ref: (just a reference to my text above) _=arrayformula(sequence(100,1)_ !come to think of it.. maybe there should be a way to enable auto functions to override cell data that is in the way
another thought is that i can’t seem to find an easy way to replace references inside functions that’s already been typed let’s say i want to “offset” =if(isblank(a1)... to ...a2 here you have to go into the function and manually type in the new cell reference (instead of “maybe” just dragging the highlighted cell reference to the new cell - i’m thinking of how i would do this in excel..)
this is good thank you but i am struggling miserably to convert my formula to use arrayformula, ideally (scenario) i have three different outcomes in my formula, if they fail to be true, i'ld like a "to be reviewed" as a result, additionally i would like this be an arrayformula so as more rows are filled i also have an automated outcome, currently im using the following formula which works but im having to drag it down the columns =IF(OR(ISNUMBER(MATCH(C4,Xplan_Asset!J:J,0)),,),"Asset",IF(OR(ISNUMBER(MATCH(C4,Xplan_Pension!I:I,0)),,),"Pension",IF(OR(ISNUMBER(MATCH(C4,Xplan_Insurance!J:J,0)),,),"Insurance","To be reviewed")))
@@ExcelGoogleSheets I can do without the OR statement if it’s possible, (my knowledge is limited) my intention is to return a value if matched from any sheet
=arrayformula(IFS(ISNUMBER(MATCH(C4:C,Xplan_Asset!J:J,0)),"Asset",ISNUMBER(MATCH(C4:C,Xplan_Pension!I:I,0)),"Pension",ISNUMBER(MATCH(C4:C,Xplan_Insurance!J:J,0)),"Insurance",TRUE,"To be reviewed"))
So, im hoping to get some help from the commenters or other people here for some data tracking im doing at a school. How can I get the following formula to auto drop down? (or design a better formula?) I suspect the method above isnt working because of my use of the sum function. However, if I use a different formula---I am not getting the results I need. I end up getting combined sum----and not a 1:1 correspondence of rows. Basically, I want to add up specific columns from another page in the sheet for each row---and leave the area blank if the reference (f24) is blank. Arrayformula isnt working for me---and its causing havoc for my google form submissions---making me have to go in manually and enter it every day. =If(F24="",,SUM('DRC & PIR Google Data Form Responses'!C24,'DRC & PIR Google Data Form Responses'!F24,'DRC & PIR Google Data Form Responses'!I24,'DRC & PIR Google Data Form Responses'!L24,'DRC & PIR Google Data Form Responses'!O24,'DRC & PIR Google Data Form Responses'!R24,'DRC & PIR Google Data Form Responses'!U24,'DRC & PIR Google Data Form Responses'!X24))
I have a question related to this. I want the formula that fills in to be a query that is using a reference cell. The reference cell updates when I drag down the formula but not when in the array.

@@ExcelGoogleSheets So I got the vlookup to work in one cell after I used trim, but I still need it to consider b2 a relative cell.. =VLOOKUP(Trim(B2),'Team / Partner'!A:B,2,False).

I need to be able to create the following type of autofill array formula as I have to tried so many things but keep getting #NAME errors. So the use case is that when someone submits a form on my site, the info gets passed via Zapier to my Google Sheet and creates a row with the following information: name and promotion tag (text value: example PROMOCODE1). Over time, the user will enter monthly promotions so other tags assigned to the column will populate (PROMOCODE2, PROMOCODE3 etc....) Over time I'll have 100s of submissions and want to calculate that individuals user's # of promotional tags. Lets say Row 1 Above had COLUMN NAME A1 (Name) | COLUMN NAME B1 (January Promotion) COLUMN NAME C1 (Feb. Promotion) COLUMN NAME D1 (March Promotion) COLUMN NAME E1 (Total Times Person Entered Our Promotions) ------- A2: "Jeff Smith"------ B2: PROMOCODE1 ----- C2 [blank - they didn't enter that month] ------- D2 PROMOCODE3 = E2 (= 2) - the calculation was of the number of PROMOCODE tags. What would I use for the formula for this?
