Hello,
I have added an image to a spreadsheet but am unable to flush it to the very top, as this capture shows

These seems to be a top margin, buffer, header, menu.. whatever it is, just above the image, which becomes part of the image realestate that I cannot ger rid off!
Extremely annoying!
Thanks

Here is a quick video of how I added the image:

I shared the sheet here:

Problems with formula Countif when used in a column with 'validation' in cells.
Hey,

I have problems using the formula Countif when I want to get results from cells with al list ('validation').
This seems to work in Microsoft Excel but not in Drive Sheet.
I would be thankful if someone could help me with this issue.

Greetings,
Johny

 following is a solution to the problem ... although ideally there should be no leading or trailing spaces in the DataValidation List, I have noticed people often enter the list with comma as the delimiter but also an inadvertent space. With the use of the TRIM function one gets the correct count even with the inadvertent leading and trailing spaces present

Hello,
I have created two spreadsheets, one that has a ranking of names, so:
Sheet 1 (Rankings Page)
A B C
1 John AZ
2 Bill CO
3 Joe NY
Sheet 2 (Joe's page)
A B
Joe Rank 
So, i want "Rank" on Sheet 2 to pull Joe's rank of '3' from sheet one and import it into 'B' of sheet 2... so that if sheet 1 was resorted, and let's say i moved Joe to No. 2, Sheet 2 would reflect the new rank of 2 and import "2" into column "B" of sheet 2.
Hope that makes sense.
Thanks!

Ok, I made the question a little more simple, direct and I have provided the "spreadsheet" links below, which are shared. I have also described what i want on each spreadsheet, but go to the first link and then the second. 
Thanks!

yogi_Compute The Total Distance Traveled In Last 7 Days Where Column C Lists Dates In Cells C5 C11 C17... And Distances In Cells C6 C12 C18 ...

Fixing a problem with references to cells of a column
Windows 7

Dear all,

I need some help with the following formula, which does not work:

VERSION 1=ARRAYFORMULA(FILTER(C:C,IF(MOD(ROW(C:C),6)=0,IF(TO_PURE_NUMBER(TODAY())-TO_PURE_NUMBER(OFFSET(C:C,-1,0))<=7,TRUE()),FALSE())))

The very similar version works:

VERSION 2=ARRAYFORMULA(FILTER(C:C,IF(MOD(ROW(C:C),6)=0,IF(TO_PURE_NUMBER(TODAY())-TO_PURE_NUMBER(OFFSET(C:C,+5,0))<=7,TRUE()),FALSE())))

but does not get the right result.

These formulas are meant to go through column C, which has the following information: C5 is a date and C6 the distance covered that day, C11 is the next date and C12 the distance for that day, and so on for many rows. The pattern is a cycle repeated every 6 cells: starting from C5 there is a date, and then right below at C6 a distance, and again C11 and C12, C17 and C18. The formula above filters column C so that it takes all distances (contained in C6, C12, C18, etc.) and then (incorrectly) also picks up the dates of those distances (C5, C11, C17, etc.) and compares them to TODAY(), and if the distance was covered in the last seven days, it prints it.

I don't know why Version 1 does not work. It gives an error which I suspect is because doing OFFSET(C:C,-1,0) has the consequence that it picks up row 0, which is a reference error. I have tried to make version of it that wrap OFFSET inside of an IFERROR, but none of that seems to fix the problem. Maybe there's a way to fix this, but I don't know it.

Version 2 does not work because it associates the wrong date with a distance. For instance, the date in C11 is pegged with distance C6, when in fact the date C5 should be pegged with distance C6.

I imagine two solutions for this:

1) Fix Version 1 so that it can avoid whatever error creeps in, or
2) Maybe it's possible to start column C not from row 1, which is what ARRAYFORMULA does, but at another higher row. In this case, even starting at row 2 (so element C2) should be enough.

Please help.

Best

Ed

Using jokers and cells in sumif
Hi Guys,

I am working on a spreadsheet and got a question regarding the sumif function. I want to combine a condition from a cel and a joker. In the spreadsheet (see link below) i want to get 70 in the "error" cel.

I tried various formulas like:
=sumif($A$13:$A$15;"*&A12*";$B$13:$B$15)
=sumif($A$13:$A$15;"=""*"&A12"

*"";$B$13:$B$15)

If it is possible to explain why and when the " " and & are used that would be an added bonus for me. I googled for about an hour now and this seems to be a big mystery (at least for me).

Thanks in advance

Regards

Bas

How to pull data from a one Spreadsheet (that collects through a form) and display only some results (and sort by date)
Ok, first off, this forum community rules, and as I get versed in this stuff, I ensure you that it is my intention to give back and answer as many questions as I can. 

My question: 

So, I have Spreadsheet 1, collecting data through a form:
A | B | C | D
Submission Date | Writer Name | Content   | Subject
11/9/12               | Bob             | blah blah | Fiction
11/10/12             | Jim             | blah blah | Science
11/11/12             | Kate           | blah blah  | Math
11/12/12             | Dan            | blah blah  | Science

* and again, this is all submitted by a form, so the newest content is imported automatically at the bottom

Then, I have Spreadsheet 2, which I want to import the data from Spreadsheet 1, but:
  • I only want Science entries to populate, and we will call Spreadsheet 2 "Science" spreadsheet
  • I then want the data, so both Jim's and Dan's entries to sort by newest to oldest on this new "Science" spreadsheet
  • &, of course any new "Spreadsheet" entries with a "subject" of "science" in column D, I would like those to of course import automatically in the future to "Science Spreadsheet" and remain in "newest" to "oldest" format.
Actual Spreadsheets:

Thanks again!!!
