Google sheets switches cell range? - arrays

This one is odd, I think. I am creating arrays in g-sheets where I want the range to be A:A300. I enter A:A300 into the formula, but when I hit enter and then check the formula again it changes it to be A300:A, which of course doesn't work. I can enter A1:A300 and it works fine, but why would it swap the starting/ending parameters?

If you leave an open-ended range (meaning like A1:A,A1:1, not using one of the variables) it will go to the end of that column or row, and not the other way round. Then your range A:A300 actually goes from A300 to A1000 or whichever row is your last one. Then, the order Sheets stablish to your range is logically correct

Google Sheets: Average of every other column

I’ve looked at similar questions and I think I’m close to a working solution, but it’s giving me the wrong answer. I have a spreadsheet in Google Sheets with data in all columns, but every other cell contains a dollar value and I need only the average of those cells. They start (in this version) on cell G3 and continue through most of row 3, then I intend to copy the formula to other rows with the same cells in those rows needing to be averaged as well, so if it’ll adjust as I copy that’ll be best. Here’s what I’ve worked up so far:
=AVERAGEIF(ArrayFormula(mod(column(G3:3),2)),”>0”)
It’s returning 1 as the result, when it should be about 1500. If I change the 2 to another number, the result increases with it, so I think something in mod or column is being done wrong, but I don’t have enough practice to know where I messed up.
avg of every 2nd column it's done like:
=AVERAGE(FILTER(G3:3, MOD(COLUMN(G3:3)-1, 2)=0))
TIL about the FILTER function. Thanks guys.
There is a way with ArrayFormula. I think you almost got it. I would prefer to add one more argument for AVERAGEIF to specify the range to average. I don't know if it defaults to the range in the condition.
And I would do the modulo on the difference between a column and the first column. I guess for your question it isn't needed as all column numbers are either odd or even. But using the difference is a general purpose way to apply the concept to say every nth column.
The modulo 2 of any column number with be 0 or 1. So instead of using an inequality just use 0 or 1. From your formula it looks like your dollar values must be in odd columns so the result of the modulo should be 1. But I think if you are starting at G3 then taking the column difference before applying Mod 2 changes the desired result to 0. But of course to switch to the other column change the 0 to a 1.
=AVERAGEIF(ArrayFormula(mod((COLUMN(G3:3)-COLUMN(G3)),2)),0,G3:3)

Excel sum across multiple sheets with criteria array

I have a workbook with several sheets, each containing a large amount of data formatted identically. What I'd like to do is enter a formula on a summary sheet that sums data from across the data sheets, selecting the data to sum based on an array of criteria.
The list of sheets is named 'AdHoc_Sheets' and the list of criteria is named 'Uncontrollable_Compensation'.
First attempt:
=SUMPRODUCT(SUMIF(INDIRECT("'"&AdHoc_Sheets&"'!"&"C:C"),A40,INDIRECT("'"&AdHoc_Sheets&"'!"&"E:E")))
This works well when only a single criteria (in this case 'A40') is needed. The challenge I'm finding is changing that to be an array of criteria.
Second attempt:
={SUMPRODUCT(SUM(IF(ISERROR(MATCH(INDIRECT("'"&AdHoc_Sheets&"'!"&"C:C"),TRANSPOSE(Uncontrollable_Compensation),0)),0,INDIRECT("'"&AdHoc_Sheets&"'!"&"E:E"))))}
Which returns a zero when it's not CSE'd and an #N/A error when it is CSE'd. Something about the dynamics of juggling the arrays is messing me up, and I can't quite tell if I need to turn to MMULT or some other method. Thanks in advance.
Assuming that the entries in column C are text, not numeric, array formula**:
=SUM(IF(ISNUMBER(MATCH(T(OFFSET(INDIRECT("'"&AdHoc_Sheets&"'!"&"C1"),TRANSPOSE(ROW(C1:C100)-MIN(ROW(C1:C100))),0)),Uncontrollable_Compensation,0)),N(OFFSET(INDIRECT("'"&AdHoc_Sheets&"'!"&"E1"),TRANSPOSE(ROW(C1:C100)-MIN(ROW(C1:C100))),0))))`
With such a construction you cannot 'get away' with arbitrarily referencing entire columns without detriment to performance. Hence my choice of range from row 1 to row 100, which obviously you can change, though be sure to keep it as small as possible.

**Array formulas are not entered in the same way as 'standard' formulas. Instead of pressing just ENTER, you first hold down CTRL and SHIFT, and only then press ENTER. If you've done it correctly, you'll notice Excel puts curly brackets {} around the formula (though do not attempt to manually insert these yourself).

Excel - Perform Summation of Column of If Statements In One Cell

I feel like I've done this before but am at a total loss after looking at a lot of pages already.
Consider a set of data given in two columns, x and y. X column is always ascending in value, y is random. I need a single cell to calculate the sum of a column of IF statements within a specified range of x without actually displaying the column of IF statements or using VBA. In other words: I want to turn this (IMG1) into this (IMG2)
In the first picture, the z column has this formula for each cell in a descending order: =IF(AND(B2>0,A2>$D$2,A2<$D$3),A2-A1,0)
I feel like I can use SUMIFS or an array formula somehow but I'm at a loss.
Please forgive if I improperly posted this somehow - this is my first post.

Try this Array Formula which requires a special key stroke Ctrl+Shift+Enter instead of Enter alone.
=SUM(IFERROR((A2:A11>0)*(B2:B11>0)*(A2:A11>D2)*(A2:A11<D3)*(A2:A11-A1:A10),0))
Confirm this formula with Ctrl+Shift+Enter

Excel array sum with multiple conditions based on named range

I have an array formula that looks like this:
{=SUMIF(C11:C23,budgets,F11:F23)}
What I want it to do is sum cells F11:F23 where cells C11:C23 are values within the named range budgets.
Right now budgets has two values: 10361 and 10300 (these are transaction codes). However, the formula seems to only work for the first code 10361 but not for the second one.
I don't want to use SUMIFS because I have multiple worksheets where I would like this array formula to work, and the codes may change so changing them in one place (the named range budgets) will make things easier.
Any ideas? I don't know VBA, so was hoping for a formula solution.
Use SUMPRODUCT with COUNTIF():
=SUMPRODUCT((COUNTIF(budgets,$C$11:$C$23)>0)*$F$11:$F$23)
Or you can use this array formula:
=SUM(SUMIF(C11:C23,budgets,F11:F23))
Being an array it needs to be entered with Ctrl-Shift-Enter when exiting edit mode instead of Enter. If done properly Excel will put {} around the formula.

Returning multiple adjacent cell results from an min array which may include multiple duplicate values

I'm trying to setup a formula that will return the contents of an related cell (my related cell is on another sheet) from the smallest 2 results in an array. This is what I'm using right now.
=INDEX('Sheet1'!$A$40:'Sheet1'!$A$167,MATCH(SMALL(F1:F128,1),F1:F128,0),1)
And
=INDEX('Sheet1'!$A$40:'Sheet1:!$A$167,MATCH(SMALL(F1:F128,2),F1:F128,0),1)
The problem I've run into is twofold.
First, if there are multiple lowest results I get whichever one appears first in the array for both entries.
Second, if the second lowest result is duplicated but the first is not I get whichever one shows up on the list first, but any subsequent duplicates are ignored. I would like to be able to display the names associated with the duplicated scores.
You will have to adjust the k parameter of the SMALL function to raise the k according to duplicates. The COUNTIF function should be sufficient for this. Once all occurrences of the top two scores are retrieved, standard 'lookup multiple values' formulas can be applied. Retrieving successive row positions with the AGGREGATE¹ function and passing those into an INDEX of the names works well.
    
The formulas in H2:I2 are,
=IF(SMALL(F$40:F$167, ROW(1:1))<=SMALL(F$40:F$167, 1+COUNTIF(F$40:F$167, MIN(F$40:F$167))), SMALL(F$40:F$167, ROW(1:1)), "") '◄ H2
=IF(LEN(H40), INDEX(A$40:A$167, AGGREGATE(15, 6, ROW($1:$128)/(F$40:F$167=H40), COUNTIF(H$40:H40, H40))), "") '◄ I2
Fill down as necessary. The scores are designed to terminate after the last second place so it would be a good idea to fill down several rows more than is immediately necessary for future duplicates.
¹ The AGGREGATE function was introduced with Excel 2010². It is not available in earlier versions.
² Related article for pre-xl2010 functions - see Multiple Ranked Returns from INDEX().
The following formula will do what I think you want:
=IF(OR(ROW(1:1)=1,COUNTIF($E$1:$E1,INDEX(Sheet1!$A$40:$A$167,MATCH(SMALL($F$1:$F$128,ROW(1:1)),$F$1:$F$128,0)))>0,ROW(1:1)=2),INDEX(Sheet1!$A$40:$A$167,MATCH(1,INDEX(($F$1:$F$128=SMALL($F$1:$F$128,ROW(1:1)))*(COUNTIF($E$1:$E1,Sheet1!$A$40:$A$167)=0),),0)),"")
NOTE:
This is an array formula and must be confirmed with Ctrl-Shift-Enter.
There are two references $E$1:$E1. This formula assumes that it will be entered in E2 and copied down. If it is going in a different column Change these two references. It must go in the second row or it will through a circular reference.
What it will do
If there is a tie for first place it will only list those teams that are tied for first.
If there is only one first place but multiple tied for second places it will list all those in second.
So make sure you copy the formula down far enough to cover all possible ties. It will put "" in any that do not fill, so err on the high side.
To get the Scores use this simple formula, I put mine in Column F:
=IF(E2<>"",SMALL($F$1:$F$128,ROW(1:1)),"")
Again change the E reference to the column you use for the output.
I did a small test:
