    Thank you so much for this tutorial. I appreciate how you don't just show a technique, but how to apply it in a real-world situation. And eerily enough, I was just about to do a search this week on how to put an array formula in the header row.

    This - is a perfect tutorial. (1) it was exactly what I wanted. (2) You built it from scratch. (3) You showed the process of starting simple and adding complexity/simplicity where needed.

    This tutorial is extremely helpful. I liked the way you built it up from its simplest form into something more efficient. I'm stuck on a project I'm doing where I'm trying to collect whether or not a student ate a school breakfast or lunch and how many they ate per month. Each student fills out the form during their 6th period. The tally has to be student specific taken in a specific teacher’s class. The form has a drop down for each student’s name, teacher’s name, date, and number of school breakfasts/lunches eaten. Watching your video, I now know how to use an array formula to collect and calculate data in real-time. I'm struggling with this…i need to be able to quickly glance at the spreadsheet by 6th period teacher and be able to tell how many breakfast/lunches each specific student ate in a any given month. Can you help?

    When putting a header name on an arrayformula, what i usually do is this:
    =arrayformula({"header name";iferror(formula i want)}). The "header name" becomes a header and the formula is going to be applied to the cells below.

    This was the exact solution for my problem, thank you! I'm automating personalized certificates that require google form submissions that include a count so I can apply a level based on the count (bronze/silver/gold, etc.)
    This formula applies the correct level after a submission comes in and I use Autocrat to kick out the personalized certificate via email. Thanks for saving me hours of volunteer time!

  • @matteovelicogna7948
    @matteovelicogna7948 4 роки тому +1

    Thanks for the great video! I have only one question.
    What if i need to say to Google Sheets that a cell has to be equal to another cell on a different spreadsheet and has to change everytime i add another row in that column.
    So for example: "C2" in the sheet "Calculation" has to be equal to "A2" in the sheet "Responses" but when i add a new response, that would be in "A3" (responses sheet); the value in "C2" (calculation sheet) has to change with it.
    So "C2" in "Calculation" sheet changes when i add a new row in the column "A" of "Responses" sheet.
    Is that possible?
    Thank you

    Very nice video! Congratulations!
    I'm trying to generate a report after the form submission and I'm getting the calculated columns as "blanks".
    For example, I have a Form with 2 questions, Client and Price.
    var timestamp = e.values[0];
    var client = e.values[1];
    var price = e.values[2];
    So, I've created a new calculated column (with array formula) which is Price*(any number).
    When I try to collect this new value in the variable "var total = e.values[3];", I get a blank value...
    Do you know why? Is there a delay?

  • @freepeople18
    @freepeople18 2 роки тому +1

    Great Tutorial. Got me so much farther than others. Greatly appreciate it.
    only thing is that whenever i submit an form it actually "pushes" the formula cell down and doesnt use it (cell stay blank). I should mention that I am using this form to populate the excel sheet but then creates a document from the cell fields. I can share a screenshot and also have the script code if that helps.

      If you have bunch of blank rows below your data, remove them. That should make it faster.

    Great video.
    But much simpler, add this in the header row (though I'd use a named range):
    ={{"Price"};{iferror(arrayformula(vlookup(B2:B,NamedLookupRange,2,0)),"")}}
    You can use this method to put several column headers and different data sets for each (literals shown below), in a single cell in a header:
    ={{"species","Color","Weight"};{"fish";"dog"},{"orange";"brown"},{"5 gms";"50 lbs"}}
    ={{"species","Color","Weight"};{"fish","orange","5 gms"};{"dog","brown","50 lbs"}}
    (the key thing is where you use commas versus semicolons. The former delimits columns, the latter delimits rows)
    You can also return discontiguous columns from a range this way, e.g. columns 3 and 5 in a named lookup range:
    ={{"Col3","Col5"};{iferror(arrayformula(vlookup(A2:A,NamedRange2,{3,5},false)),"")}}

    • @ExcelGoogleSheets
      @ExcelGoogleSheets  4 роки тому

      I don't like using IFERROR, because I like to know the difference between errors and blanks.
      Also, you don't need those extra brackets
      =arrayformula({"Price";iferror(vlookup(B2:B,NamedLookupRange,2,0),"")})

    • @ExcelGoogleSheets
      @ExcelGoogleSheets  4 роки тому

      Another thing to keep in mind is that your formula will do some weird stuff if there are no submissions in the form spreadsheet yet.

    • @scottmarquardt9763
      @scottmarquardt9763 4 роки тому

      @@ExcelGoogleSheets
      Correct. I'm habituated to using 'em largely because in a formula that both creates multiple columns and aggregates multiple row sources, they help demarcate. I'll also split a formula into multiple lines to make it more readable. Some of these things can get pretty unwieldy.
      BTW, we're recommending your channel to all our teachers/clinicians/everyone (we're a special ed non-profit). We IT types are often face-palming what we see in the field. We believe your truly excellent instructional videos will help -- and you've shown us some good tricks too. Thanks for being ahead of the pack. :-)
