I have a problem with missing data of corresponding column.
Column A has unique value which corresponds to specific cities in Col B. But few cells in col B is empty. It is long spreadsheet. How to fill col B from the values of corresponding col A automatically?
enter image description here
You can use if condition available with syntax ISBLANK().

I have three columns: in column A I have Suppliers, B has Order Dates and C has Types ("Merchant" and "FBA").
How do I populate another sheet in the same Google Sheets with the same three columns but only with rows that have "FBA" in column C?
I want them to auto-populate so when I add another row in Sheet1 where column C is "FBA", it will automatically add that row to the next available row in Sheet2. I'm guessing I use the Index formula but am unsure how to use it.
Please try something like:
=query(Sheet1!A:C,"where C ='FBA'")
In the example I have a 2 column reference where data in column E is correlated to column F. I need the data in Column F to show up anytime data from Column E is entered in a separate worksheet if possible.
To be clear, is it possible to enter data in Column A of Sheet 1 that pulls the correlated data from column B in reference Sheet 2 and enters it into Column B of Sheet 1?
I tried using a simple function in a single sheet but it obviously doesn't do what I need.
You are after VLOOKUP or INDEX MATCH
Sheet1 b1 and fill down rows
=IFERROR(VLOOKUP(A1,Sheet2!E:F,2,FALSE),TEXT(,))
Or
=IFERROR(INDEX(Sheet2!F:F,MATCH(A1,Sheet2!E:E,0)),TEXT(,))
If you set you data up as tables the formulas will autofill down. Rather than use entire columns you can set to the ranges containing data.
Data:
The excel data looks like below:
Column A: Name
Column B: Role
Column C: Activity
Column D: Comments
Now in Columns A to C the entries are same and in Column D it is always different. Its like a timesheet of an employee.
So instead of filling Columns A to C the same, I want to put a formula such that when another entry in Column D is made, then Columns A to C are auto populated from the above filled data.
Please help.
You can create two tables using Format as Table:
If I understand you question right, you want to auto populate 2 different cells if a 3rd one is not empty.
Column A: Name
Column B: Role
Column C: Activity
Column D: Comments
Now in Columns A to C the entries are same and in Column D it is always different. Its like a timesheet of an employee.
Now in cells A to C add the following formula
=IF(NOT(ISBLANK(D1)),”Whatever you want in the cell”, “”)
What the function does is it looks if D1 cell is empty (you can also add ranges) and if it’s not; it adds “Whatever you want in the cell” to the cell holding the function; if cell D is empty, it leaves the holding cell empty
Alternatively, you can change the string to expression that fills your cell correctly
I have a file with 3 columns. Column A contains 300,000 rows, with about 200 separate IDs, all duplicated at least 1,000 times. Column B contains the date for each of the rows. Column C contains the values that I need to extract.
Each of the 200 IDs in Col A can have multiple values (e.g. ID 1234 might have dates 1/1/2001, 1/3/2001, 1/2/2015, etc). Similarly, each date on Col B will have multiple IDs (e.g. 1/2/15 might have IDs of 1234, 1874, 1930, 6043, etc).
In a nutshell, I need to check the values in Col A and Col B to find the relevant ID in Col A and the maximum value in Col B, and return the value in the relevant cell in Col C.
I've looked at Index/Match examples, but they don't seem to be suitable. Is there any suggestions on a macro I could run, that would accomplish what is needed.
Use this array formula:
=INDEX($C$1:$C$300000,MATCH(1,IF(($A$1:$A$300000="1234")*($B$1:$B$300000=MAX(IF($A$1:$A$300000="1234",$B$1:$B$300000))),1,0),0))
Being an array formula it must be confirmed with Ctrl-Shift-Enter instead of Enter when exiting edit mode.
Change the "1234" to a reference cell with the appropriate ID.
You can accomplish this using array formulas. To start, you can retrieve the maximum date in column B when column A is 1234 using the below formula. Keep in mind that you have to use Ctrl-Shift-Enter when you finish typing an array formula.
{=MAX(IF($A$2:$A$24=1234,$B$2:$B$24))}
Note that you will need to change the ranges to include all of your data, rather than my test data on rows 2-24.
Now that you have a formula to retrieve the max date, you can put that inside an index/match and, again using Ctrl-Shift-Enter, use the below array formula to retrieve the value in column C for a row matching 1234 and the maximum date.
{=INDEX($C$2:$C$24,MATCH(1234&MAX(IF($A$2:$A$24=1234,$B$2:$B$24)),$A$2:$A$24&$B$2:$B$24,0))}
I have a very large Excel spreadsheet that looks like this:
However, I want to move every cell in the second column that starts with Location to the next column.
So it would look like this:
No need of VBA
Enter this formula in C2 and copy till last record
=IF(LEFT(B3,9)="Location:",B3,"")
Then copy paste values in column C, filter column B for Location:* and clear the resulting cells in column B or delete the rows (do as needed).
I would copy column B, paste it in column C then select C1 and press ctrl-- (CTRL and Minus together)
Select shift cells up and click OK.
Then either sort by column A or filter out any with a blank in column A.
You can also use this:
=IF(ISNUMBER(SEARCH("Location",B2)),B2,"")
Then apply conditional formatting to your data range as following:
