Dynamically changing row numbers in a formula
I have created a short (2 min) video that indicates what I am trying accomplish.  Credits to this forum, because my original request was going to be how to use the "OR" function in an array, but I resolved that.  On to business....

I wish to point to a single row as part of a formula.  Click below to view the video (hopefully it has processed by the time this is viewed, otherwise requires a download to view):


Thanks for any assistance you can provide.

Okay thanks, I have removed the original data.  This is what I am trying to accomplish.

Here is the sample spreadsheet


I have Raw Data containing multiple children who have been rated, e.g., Susan" in row 3 below

I want to be able to extract data from a single case as below, as appears in the spreadsheet Single Case

=TRANSPOSE('Raw Data'!A15:I15)

but switch from one row to another without having to change all of the numbers (e.g., row 15).  

Somehow I need a variable to point to the correct row to make the data dynamically change from one case to another.  Then the filter in subsequent spreadsheets will all reflect that single rater/case.  

=FILTER('Single Case'!A2:B11,('Single Case'!B2:B11 = "5-Significant Improvement")+('Single Case'!B2:B11 = "4-Moderate Improvement"))

E.g., switch from row 3 in Raw Data (Susan) to row 5 (Martha) to get those results.

Please let me know if I need to clarify further.  And thanks for any help you can provide.

How to list and count unique cells in multiple columns?
Hi,

I'm wondering how you list and count the number of unique cells when they're in multiple columns and in a different tab. What formula would you use?
(I have data listed in columns D-F in one tab, and there are some repeats in different columns. I want to see which ones are repeated the most and how many times)

Thanks!

'm sorry, I don't want to make my spreadsheet public.

I did find a formula through a Google search which works for all the data in one column, but I don't know how to modify it for three columns. The formula I found was this:

=query(query('Bonuses'!$D$1:$D;"select D, upper(D) where (D is not null and D<>'')";0);"select Col1, count(Col2) group by Col1 order by count(Col2) desc label count(Col2) 'count'";1)

Do you know how to change this so that it works for columns D-F, and not just D?

Counting multiple criteria - formula works in old version of sheets but not the new!
Can anyone explain why this formula:

=sum(countif(C8:C12,{"DCP","CO2","WC","F","FM"}))

... works perfectly in the old version of Sheets and counts all the criteria listed, but when applied in the new Sheets - it doesn't work properly.


Here's how it looks in the new version of Sheets:

=sum(countif(C12:C25,{"DCP","CO2","WC","F","FM"})) This formula in the new Sheets only returns the number of items listed as "DCP" which is only the first criteria listed.
What has changed???
Any help is most appreciated!

Hi Yogi
thank you so very much for looking at this problem for me.  I tried your suggestion and it returned a value of "0" - which is not correct.

Here is a link to the spreadsheet, if that helps:

Thanking you in advance..

yogi_Apply Conditional Formatting To Specified Range (A2 to D5) Based On Values In Column C

Conditional formatting cell to entire line
Hi Yogi

You'll see I've got two example tables, using the indirect formula, it works perfectly (first table). When using a straight forward relative reference, it doesn't work at all :/ It's basically assuming that you you want to validate the formatting for the whole table based on that one cell only, yet only formats the first cell in the specified range.

I don't know if Google is planning on changing the manor in which Conditional Formatting will react when formatting a whole table based on a single column. I know for a fact that there are very little people aware of the indirect function, even in Excel.

Example document:
https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1mELOR9bxYyuBjpjh0n8zNCUAFRyQ4XqIfrC7pdzB3x0/edit?usp=sharing

Please let me know should you require any additional information.

I've only recently started using Google docs, loving it and tinkering for personal use only. So it's not a train smash ;)

Kind Regards
Zander Bingle

I think the question by implications is ... must one use INDIRECT function in such a case as Zander has used --
my following illustration shows that one does not necessarily need to use the INDIRECT function
