I'm using a googleform to collect info about game players and their scores for different games, and am trying to create a leaderboard.
I've used an ARRAYFORMULA in col A to bring back unique values of each Player, then another in col B to SUMIF their Scores. So it's a leaderboard, I want it to autosort by score descending.
I've tried using various scripts etc but it seems that even just using the Sort function doesn't work. It sorts for a second, then resets back to the order the Players appear on the Form Responses. I'm taking this to mean I can't sort dynamic data in this way.
Any ideas on how I can autosort this, so even when more Players are added it will always act as a leaderboard?

so recently my principal is having me create a database for a tardy system recently what i've done is set up a google form where the student id can be enter through a num pad and put into a google sheet where ive setup 2 sheets one where it shows the student name and how many tardies they have and then the other is the google form responses, each tardies cell in the other sheet has the formula: =COUNTIF('Form Responses'!B:B,"") which essentialy checks the number of times a certain student id pops up, by ferpa i am not legally allowed access to the student id's is there any possible way i can maked it when a person enters their student id it adds/creates a new formula for the tardies cells to check through the entire list without a duplication or error code?
i have tried the =COUNTIF('Form Responses'!B:B,"") formula but that would make where my principal would have to edit a thousand lines of formula
Depending on the exact setup of your sheets, you can use a formula like this, guessing that the students' IDs are in A column:
=BYROW(A2:A,LAMBDA(each,IF(each="","",COUNTIF('Form Responses'!B:B,each))))
That would set a formula will drag all the column automatically.
Or, instead of having a list of IDs you can set a QUERY that will find all the ID values in the responses and their count:
=QUERY('Form Responses'!B:B,"SELECT B,Count(B) where B is not null group by B")
How can do I write an array formula in such a way that both following factors apply:
Results give me the names of sales that have either TRUE OR FALSE next to it in a different column/sheet.
Results are sorted chronologically based on the date that is connected to each sale. Each sale has a different date next to it. This can be found in the same sheet as where the "TRUE OR FALSE" result is displayed. Column with the dates is called "AY:AY". I use an indirect formula to target the correct sheet within the spreadsheet.
I currently only have the first criteria implemented, don't know how to do the 2nd one.
Since the raw data is not ordered I need this to happen when I use the Index Match Array formula. So far I have this formula in my Google Sheets spreadsheet.
=ArrayFormula(iferror(index(indirect("'"&$B$5&" 2023'!c:c");small(if(TRUE=indirect("'"&$B$5&" 2023'!ca:ca");row(indirect("'"&$B$5&" 2023'!ca:ca"))-row(indirect("'"&$B$5&" 2023'!$ca$1"))+1);row(1:1)));""))
I know I could use the Index Array formula below with multiple criteria, but don't know how to implement the date component.
INDEX(indirect("'"&$B$5&" 2023'!c:c");SMALL(IF(COUNTIF(_______)*COUNTIF("true"; indirect("'"&$B$5&" 2023'!CA:CA"); ROW(indirect("'"&$B$5&" 2023'!A:CA"))-MIN(ROW(indirect("'"&$B$5&" 2023'!A:CA"))+1); ROW(indirect("'"&$B$5&" 2023'!A1));COLUMN(indirect("'"&$B$5&" 2023'!A1))
Thanks in advance.
A query like this could help?
=QUERY(INDIRECT("'"&$B$5&" 2023'!C:CA"),"SELECT C,AY WHERE CA = TRUE order by AY")
I have an attendance tracker in which I'm trying to account for each employee type per day.
I have a summary page (sheet1) in which I want the count of each type (A,B,C,D,E) based on the day in cell C2 whether or not they have an X on sheet2 for that day.
Using =COUNTIF(FILTER(Sheet2!$A$5:$GG$969,Sheet2!$A$5:$GG$5=$C$2),"X") I am able to get a total of "X" based on the date in cell C2.
However, I'm having trouble getting the formula to work counting each employee type.
=COUNTIFS(Sheet2!A5:AM31,A7,(FILTER(Sheet2!A5:AM31=C2)),"X")
This gives me an error "Array arguments to COUNTIFS are of different size."
I'm not sure how else to configure this. Below is a link to my sample sheet:
Appreciate any help!
https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1OdJTwbFsNcR1hO1qzMBGUY4iXcWgDwIAJmBAVE9cs0k/edit?usp=sharing
I think this would work, dragged down for the other groups.
=COUNTIFS(Sheet2!A$6:A$31,A7,FILTER(Sheet2!$6:$31,Sheet2!$5:$5=C$2),"X")
However, I would encourage you to look at this sample sheet (a copy of yours) where I've added a new tab called MK.Help, designed to be hidden, but used as a sort of helper tab to make all sorts of things you might like to do easier. Including the count you asked about.
It has one single formula in cell A2 where you can see what it does.
=ARRAYFORMULA(QUERY(SPLIT(FLATTEN(Sheet2!C5:5&"|"&Sheet2!A6:A31&"|"&Sheet2!B6:B31&"|"&Sheet2!C6:31),"|",0,0),"where Col3<>'' order by Col1"))
try:
={"", ""; QUERY(FILTER(Sheet2!A6:A31, FILTER(Sheet2!6:31, Sheet2!5:5=C2)="X"),
"select Col1,count(Col1) where Col1 is not null group by Col1 label count(Col1)''");
"Total", COUNTA(IFNA(FILTER(Sheet2!A6:A31, FILTER(Sheet2!6:31, Sheet2!5:5=C2)="X")))}
So I'm just starting out creating a portfolio tracker within Google Sheets. I'm using the Google Finance methods to get the stocks name and all the relevant data that I need. The only issue is that I can't figure out how to populate the specific data I need without having to manually type out the same formula's for each stock I want data for.
For example... Each row in the first column would contain the ticker symbol for that specific stock. If I bought a new stock, I would just type in the ticker symbol in cell A1 and this would populate the necessary fields such as price and so on. If I bought another stock I would essentially do the same thing but now in A2.
I know that you can get the price of a stock by doing
=GOOGLEFINANCE(A1, "price")
but is there any way to make it dynamic? something like:
=GOOGLEFINANCE(A(Row(ref)), "price")?
Any suggestions would be helpful. Maybe there's even an addon that makes this process simpler, but I'm not sure.
try:
=ARRAYFORMULA(IFERROR(GOOGLEFINANCE(A1:A10, "price")))
You just have to write the function for A1:
=GOOGLEFINANCE(A1, "price")
And then drag the little square on the cell down. It will automatically pick up the correspondant number of the row in the A column.
You can set-up your sheet to have like 100 rows used, and when you add the ticker it will automatically calculate it.
If you don't want th #N/A to show you can do it like:
=IFERROR(GOOGLEFINANCE(A1, "price"))
I have a view setup with a map reduce. Right now this code works great:
function(doc) {
if (doc.type == 'test'){
if(doc.trash != 1){
for (var id in doc.items) {
emit([id,doc.items[id].name], 1);
}
}
}
}
function(keys,prices){
return (keys, sum(prices));
}
I get a return and when using the group parameter, it condenses everything just fine.
My issue/question, I want to add a third key.... DATE, so I may only reduce records from certain dates. So for example:
function(doc) {
if (doc.type == 'test'){
if(doc.trash != 1){
for (var id in doc.items) {
emit([date,id,doc.items[id].name], 1);
}
}
}
}
My issue is that since date is at the beginning of the array, the reduce groups by date, id etc. I know I use group_level and say just take the first key from the array or the first 2 keys, but that doesn't help either because afaik, group_level goes from left to right in the array. I could put the date on the end of the emit array, but that doesn't help either because I need to have values at the beginning of my startkey and endkey to search on.
Here is an example of the output of data:
{"key":["2012-03-13","356752b8a5f6871f3","Apple"],"value":1},
{"key":["2012-03-20","123752b8a76986857","Pear"],"value":1},
{"key":["2012-04-12","3013531de05871194","Grapefruit"],"value":1},
{"key":["2012-04-12","356752b8a5f6871f3","Apple"],"value":1},
I want APPLE to be added up in one row, here it's adding up apples by date first. I was able to successfully just add up all the apples if I remove DATE as the first key in the array, but then I can't search by date range.
Any ideas on how to accomplish this?
If I correctly understand what you want to do, then you'd want to put the date as the first element of your array, and use group_level as well as start_key and end_key.
Eg. startkey=[1, "someid"] endkey=[1,"someid",{}] group_level=2
Will get you all items from date 1 (obviously choose your own format here), with id "someid" and any name. It seems funny that you emit id's before names, and without having more information about what you're actually trying to accomplish, it's hard to advise your general data model. If ID is a "type" id meaning that many items share the same ID then this makes sense. If ID is a unique per item ID, then it does not. In that case, you'd want to emit "name" before ID...
Edit 1
As per your comment, to do a range of dates you do this:
startkey=[1] endkey=[5,{}] group_level=2
You will get everything from date 1 to date 5 grouped by id ie. apples, oranges etc. I use this exact technique in a very large scale production application. I actually formatted the dates as an easily human readable integers of the format yyyymmdd, so 20140624 would sort to the top. If I want everything from the start of the month till now grouped by my group ids, I call
startkey=[20140601] endkey=[20140624,{}] group_level=2
It works perfectly and as far as I can tell that's what you're looking to do. I also have a third key layer "detail" which allows me to provide a deeper level of grouping for items that need it. I can then call
startkey=[20140601, "someid"] endkey=[20140624, "someid",{}] group_level=3
To drill to the detail level for a particular id, or just use the previous query with group_level=3 if I want the details for every id. I'm certain you can make this work - I've solved this exact problem in a production application using the techniques described.
Edit 2
If you want to group all apples regardless of date, then you'll need to let apples be the first element in the key. You can then get all apples over all time as a single row in the view result using group_level=1, and Apples over a date range using group_level=2. The difference here is that you'll only be able to do the group_level=2 query on a single item type at a time. If you want the best of both worlds, you unfortunately just need to make 2 views. That's just how key ordering works... If you need fast response times for both types of queries, all item types over a date range, and all of a particular item not grouped by date, I believe 2 views is the only way to achieve that.
Note
Another thing to note is about your reduce function. Wherever possible it is highly recommended that you use the built in reduce functions. They're implemented in erlang and are highly optimized compared to custom javascript reduce functions.
In your case, just replace your reduce function with this
_sum
Easy hey?
If you post more info about your application, data model etc. then I'd be happy to help out more with your database design.
