My company is getting rid of Excel. Is it possible to replicate this formula in GSheets?
Our take
Transitioning from Excel to Google Sheets may seem daunting, especially with a complex formula managing vast data. However, Google Sheets offers powerful functions that can replicate your Excel formula effectively. Your existing formula, which efficiently sorts and filters consolidated data across multiple sheets, can be adapted using similar functions in Google Sheets, such as SORT, FILTER, and ARRAYFORMULA. Embracing this shift not only streamlines your process but also enhances collaboration and accessibility, empowering you to manage your data with ease and efficiency.
For context I have a huge report I run every month with about 13,000 columns of data and this data is consolidated from 7 other reports. So, rather than sorting and filtering the data each time I need to organize everything, I set up this formula. This way I can just paste the consolidated data into one sheet and it’ll automatically sort and filter appropriately into 4 other sheets
This is one of the formulas I use for 1 of the 4 sheets: =SORT(SORT(FILTER(FILTER('Compiled Data'!A:AB,(('Compiled Data'!E:E="variable1")+('Compiled Data'!E:E="variable2")+('Compiled Data'!E:E="variable3")+('Compiled Data'!E:E="variable4"))*(('Compiled Data'!F:F="variable5")+('Compiled Data'!F:F="variable6")+('Compiled Data'!F:F="variable7"))),{1,1,1,1,1,1,0,0,1,1,1,0,0,1,1,1,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0}),1,1),4,1)
Is this possible to replicate in Google Sheets?

- Cell merging / formatting formulasThis might be an odd one. I'm not that skilled with excel as my use of in within my job is pretty limited. However, I tend to use this template my predecessor made to summarize data from our program. Works well, just a simple ='SHEET 1'!A1 for all cells. The first two images give an example. After the data is ported, I have to get rid of the zeros between the data and write system names. When it comes to pasting it on letters, the names are bolded, upped a font size, and two of the cells are merged (3rd image) This gets a bit tedious as the lists can get pretty long so I've been trying to figure out how to streamline it on my own. My idea has so far has been to have a separate cell detect when I'm finished adding my data and then format the aforementioned cells (4th image). For the life of me, just can't figure out how to write a formula to do it. What I would need is for the formula to detect a 1 (could be anything) in cell G10. It would then check for any blank cells in columns A and B. Once found, it would merge & center, bold the text, increase the font size, and align right. Is this only possible with a macro? I've been unable to find any formulas that could accomplish this. https://preview.redd.it/853mpr4jspog1.png?width=788&format=png&auto=webp&s=943a34a57f1d7c7f88256dd89b81b9c6fc301e34 https://preview.redd.it/e3w6ms4jspog1.png?width=453&format=png&auto=webp&s=9b189fa77d6638b627f8676dad60bc148753617c https://preview.redd.it/msh6ys4jspog1.png?width=411&format=png&auto=webp&s=d5f5025b315f24fd5f3a64c6e07e019abd3a77ab https://preview.redd.it/7j66tt4jspog1.png?width=936&format=png&auto=webp&s=1faa4df12ee74892f5fa9dc27ac95621280cf3c5 submitted by /u/Extension_Train9093 [link] [comments]
- Exporting just one sheet?Looking for a clean way to do this. I've got a spreadsheet with multiple sheets that refence eachother for preparing data for a customer. Obviously I can just print one sheet but what I would really like to do is export the "customer" sheet as a new excel document. Ideally with some of the values becoming their data on the new sheet, but other cells keeping their formulas Example, first box would be what the cells on the export sheet output, next being their formulas. the second set would be how I would like to export, Hard coding the values as regular numbers that are referenced from a different sheet, but keeping the formulas that do math on the same sheet. Is this possible? https://preview.redd.it/cstcpxl78vqg1.png?width=181&format=png&auto=webp&s=f85a19322898ac8a3556d059ba1c5ad6dba7b867 =DifferentSheet!P7 =A1*10 =DifferentSheet!P8 =A2*10 =DifferentSheet!P9 =A3*10 https://preview.redd.it/s4xpp55h8vqg1.png?width=181&format=png&auto=webp&s=962737308118022dbc6a060481514fdc07c1e261 11.5 =A1*10 12 =A2*10 14 =A3*10 submitted by /u/223specialist [link] [comments]
- Is there a way to reference an array of arrays?Is there a way to get Excel to use an array of arrays in in a formula? Instead of writing a formula that references an array and dragging it down through a column, can I write the formula in a way that results in an output of SUM(O2#),SUM(O3#),SUM(O4#),SUM(O5#),...,SUM(O1000#)}? I work with enormous data sets, but they vary in size. Since I need the workbooks to work with any amount of data, I end up dragging formulas down extra far, leaving rows that just output empyy values when the data doesn't reach that far. If I can make the formula reference an array of arrays then I could eliminate all those garbage rows. Thank you. Unfortunately, because a security restrictions, I can't use macros or VBA at all. I need to do it everything through standard excel syntax. EDIT: Sorry, I didn't make it clear that I used SUM() as an example to try and simplify and generalize. Here's a more explicit example of what I'm doing: ID Data Col C Col D A 14 =UNIQUE(ID#) =IF($C1="","",LET(ArrSt1,TRIMRANGE(DROP($B:$B,4),2),ArrSt3,TRIMRANGE(DROP($H:$H,4),2),ArrA,(FILTER(ArrSt3,ArrSt1=C2,)),TRANSPOSE(FILTER(ArrA,ArrA<>"")))) A 23 =IF($C2="","",LET(ArrSt1,TRIMRANGE(DROP($B:$B,4),2),ArrSt3,TRIMRANGE(DROP($H:$H,4),2),ArrA,(FILTER(ArrSt3,ArrSt1=C2)),TRANSPOSE(FILTER(ArrA,ArrA<>"")))) A 42 =IF($C3="","",LET(ArrSt1,TRIMRANGE(DROP($B:$B,4),2),ArrSt3,TRIMRANGE(DROP($H:$H,4),2),ArrA,(FILTER(ArrSt3,ArrSt1=C3,)),TRANSPOSE(FILTER(ArrA,ArrA<>"")))) B 1 =IF($C4="","",LET(ArrSt1,TRIMRANGE(DROP($B:$B,4),2),ArrSt3,TRIMRANGE(DROP($H:$H,4),2),ArrA,(FILTER(ArrSt3,ArrSt1=C4,)),TRANSPOSE(FILTER(ArrA,ArrA<>"")))) B 2 =IF($C5="","",LET(ArrSt1,TRIMRANGE(DROP($B:$B,4),2),ArrSt3,TRIMRANGE(DROP($H:$H,4),2),ArrA,(FILTER(ArrSt3,ArrSt1=C5,)),TRANSPOSE(FILTER(ArrA,ArrA<>"")))) B =IF($C6="","",LET(ArrSt1,TRIMRANGE(DROP($B:$B,4),2),ArrSt3,TRIMRANGE(DROP($H:$H,4),2),ArrA,(FILTER(ArrSt3,ArrSt1=C6,)),TRANSPOSE(FILTER(ArrA,ArrA<>"")))) B =IF($C7="","",LET(ArrSt1,TRIMRANGE(DROP($B:$B,4),2),ArrSt3,TRIMRANGE(DROP($H:$H,4),2),ArrA,(FILTER(ArrSt3,ArrSt1=C7,)),TRANSPOSE(FILTER(ArrA,ArrA<>"")))) B 90 =IF($C8="","",LET(ArrSt1,TRIMRANGE(DROP($B:$B,4),2),ArrSt3,TRIMRANGE(DROP($H:$H,4),2),ArrA,(FILTER(ArrSt3,ArrSt1=C8,)),TRANSPOSE(FILTER(ArrA,ArrA<>"")))) B 94 =IF($C9="","",LET(ArrSt1,TRIMRANGE(DROP($B:$B,4),2),ArrSt3,TRIMRANGE(DROP($H:$H,4),2),ArrA,(FILTER(ArrSt3,ArrSt1=C9,)),TRANSPOSE(FILTER(ArrA,ArrA<>"")))) =IF($C10="","",LET(ArrSt1,TRIMRANGE(DROP($B:$B,4),2),ArrSt3,TRIMRANGE(DROP($H:$H,4),2),ArrA,(FILTER(ArrSt3,ArrSt1=C10)),TRANSPOSE(FILTER(ArrA,ArrA<>"")))) ... =IF($C1000="","",LET(ArrSt1,TRIMRANGE(DROP($B:$B,4),2),ArrSt3,TRIMRANGE(DROP($H:$H,4),2),ArrA,(FILTER(ArrSt3,ArrSt1=C1000,)),TRANSPOSE(FILTER(ArrA,ArrA<>"")))) Output: ID Data Col C Col D Col E Col F F A 14 A 14 23 42 A 23 B 1 2 90 94 A 42 "" B 1 "" B 2 "" B "" B "" B 90 "" B 94 "" "" ... "" There are a lot of data manipulations omitted, so if something seems weird (like the empty cells in Data Col) please ignore it. The questions is how to eliminate the unneeded rows in Col D. Thank you. EDIT2: Studying the BYROW, SCAN, and MAP suggestions, led to this page on Exceljet, https://exceljet.net/glossary/array-of-arrays , that suggests my question is a known problem in Excel's engine and there is no work-around. Thank you to everyone who tried to help. submitted by /u/TwitchyDingo [link] [comments]
- Assistance with advanced filter optionsI have a report that is being generated through some janky software, and unfortunately the way I am getting the excel document can't be changed. This is a very basic example of what the sheet looks like, the actual generated report is thousands of rows: https://imgur.com/a/d0jNtNx For example, I want to filter for Bob's name in column A and also see all of Bob's associated comments in column B. If I apply a filter for Bob in column A, it hides everything in column B that are the relevant comments (obviously). To clarify, I want a filter to make it look like this: https://imgur.com/a/pgVJsLm And not like this: https://imgur.com/a/wCev8uH Perhaps the filter function isn't the right approach, so I am open to alternatives. submitted by /u/drspudbear [link] [comments]
