Trouble using QUERY with a cell containing a quotation mark
I'm working on an investing spreadsheet. For part of my XIRR formula, I'm using the QUERY command below. Column C contains the name of the stock. Column A contains the transaction dates.

=query(Transactions!A$2:R,"select A WHERE (B='Buy' OR B='Sell' OR B='Div') AND C contains 'Intel' ")

This formula works well for companies like Intel, Apple, Google, etc. However, if the company name contains a quotation mark, as below, it fails.

=query(Transactions!A$2:R,"select A WHERE (B='Buy' OR B='Sell' OR B='Div') AND C contains 'McDonald's' ")

It also runs into the same problem if I reference its cell. How do I let the spreadsheet know that the quote is part of the text that it is supposed to search for?

Thanks for the help!

Calculate total hours scheduled in Employee schedule w/ text representing days off
Ok, I am trying to create a spread sheet to make my employee schedule on. When I have a requested day off, I want to be able to enter text into the appropriate collum to indicate this. However, this causes an error with my formula.

Also, I tried formatting the appropriate cells to time, but when I enter values, it reverts back to plain text :( I need the time format, because I have some hours which are halves (i.e. 22:30)

Here is what I have, can someone please help me make the formulas work?

Thank you in advance.

Array formula returns same value after refreshing the page
Hi,

I am completely lost on this one.

This is the formula ={"Trade";"Trade";ARRAYFORMULA(if(ISBLANK(B39:B),,VLOOKUP($B39:$B,'Work Scope Item List'!$A4:$N,column('Work Scope Item List'!C2),FALSE)))} entered in C37 and below you can see that after the page refresh it returns the same thing all over again.

BUT, for example, if I go to C44 and delete the contents, then the array formula refreshes with the correct result. Any suggestions?
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
to my knowledge what you are experiencing is not a bug in Google spreadsheet -- it is your formula in cell C37 (and D37:F37) that need fixing ...

presented in the following solution is one way to do what you are trying to accomplish -- note how I have altered your formula ever so slightly to make it do what you want

Conditional "if" function across multiple sheets please help me
Hello All, 

I'm not Excel or Sheet savvy enough to figure out the formula I need to complete this function. Basically I have a list of names separated by commas in
Sheet 1, cell b2. I then need a conditional formatting formula that will search this list of names in sheet 1; and, in sheet 2, insert the word "present" if a specific person's name appears in the list. If not, it should mark "absent." 

To be more clear, 

Names in Sheet 1 cell b2: Bob, Billy, Brandy, Brad, Sarah. 

List of individual names in sheet 2 will appear as such (in individual cells): 
Bob
Billy
Brandy
Brad
Sarah

Then in the cell adjacent to each name I need a formula to reference the list in sheet 1 and apply the present or absent conditional formatting. 


Please please help me. I've tried for hours but can't get anything to work

Is there a way to choose the price from X days ago?
is there a way to retrieve a historical price for X days ago?

IE, I'd like the close price from 180 days ago (which would change everyday).  I'm trying to calculate the price movement over the past x days.

So the formula I'll be using is [(Today's Price) - (Historical Price from 180 Days ago)] / Today's Price = Price Movement over the past 180 Days.

Auto populating from a drop down menu
Hello,

I'm not sure if this request is actually possible, but it would be awesome if someone could help me out.

I've attached the file I'm trying to work with as a reference and so no one is confused.  The way this works now, is we put in a store number into the "Calls In" tab, and then go to the "X-Sheet" tab, put in the same store number, and put an "x" in the corresponding column to what the store called about (the top of the "X-Sheet" is labelled with all issues that a store can call about).

I've just added a drop down menu at the end of the row in the "Calls In" tab, so after we enter the store and the issue, we can choose an issue from the drop down menu (call correspond to the issues at the top of the "X-Sheet").  Basically, what I'm asking, is if it's possible to have the drop down menu linked to the "X-Sheet" tab, so that when an issue is chosen from the drop down menu, an "x" appears in the same column on the "X-Sheet."

For example, 168 is the first store on the list in "Calls In."  If I go to the end of the row and choose "late" from the drop down menu, I would ideally like an "x" to automatically show up in the "X-Sheet" tab.  

I really really hope this hasn't confused anybody!  And would love some help, even if it's just bad news that this is impossible!

Combining sets of data with different timelines
I have multiple sets of data that each have two columns, date and price. The problem is there is one data point for only business days and each year has different business days. Here is an example of the data sets:

Date1     Price1     Date2     Price2     Date3    Price3
1/1            5           1/1           9          1/1         15
1/2            6           1/4          10         1/2         14
1/3            6           1/5          11         1/5         13
1/4            7           1/6          12         1/6         14

So after copying and pasting the data sets next to each other, this is how the data looks. The problem is none of the dates line up. How can I sort the data to where they are all on the same timeline? There are going to be data gaps but that isn't a problem.
