I am using a Countifs formula with an array: =COUNTIFS(Sheet2[End User Class Code],{"MF","MB"}) (there are other criteria but I've left them out for now for simplicity). This is working fine.
However I would like to change the criteria to refer to a single cell containing the array, as I will sometimes need to change the criteria (MF/MB/etc) it looks for.
I have tried =SUM(COUNTIFS(Opportunities[End User Class Code],INDIRECT(Sheet3!$F$7))), where Sheet3!F7={"MF","MB"} however this isn't working.
I trust this makes sense, I'm not 100% au fait with the terminology, but can anyone help?
Many thanks!

so I have a formula inside an array that looks like this
={CRYPTOFINANCE("kraken:"&ARL8&"/USD", "price_history", "10d")}
I want to auto fill the array with the same function but with the 'ARL8' reference in an ascending order, just like auto filling cells, but keep it all in one cell it should look like this...
={CRYPTOFINANCE("kraken:"&ARL8&"/USD", "price_history", "10d") ; CRYPTOFINANCE("kraken:"&ARL9&"/USD", "price_history", "10d") ; CRYPTOFINANCE("kraken:"&ARL10&"/USD", "price_history", "10d")} ,SUBSTITUTE(TRANSPOSE(SPLIT(REPT(12,1050),2)),1,"MISTAKE")) etc.
the thing is that I have about 1000 values from ARL8 reference to ARL1008 reference so it will take really long for me to write it all manually, so is there a way I can keep the rest of the function but have the ARL cell reference dynamically written while being able to specify the length of the array?
It's something I am struggling for a while now and still couldn't find a way so I really appreciate if you could explain the solution as well, and if there is more info I can give let me know, and thanks.
I tried a few things but they gave me different errors I didn't know how to solve and others just didn't work, I will just put it in case it helps
=ARRAYFORMULA(CRYPTOFINANCE("kraken:"&ARL8:ARL1008&"/USD", "price_history", "10d"))
the error it gave me is - "error Attribute price_history isn't supported in batch formulas"
try:
=BYROW(ARL8:ARL20, LAMBDA(x, CRYPTOFINANCE("kraken:"&x&"/USD", "price_history", "10d"))
update
you can generate a formula with a formula like:
={""; INDEX("=ARRAYFORMULA({SPLIT(""Exchange,Base,Quote,Time,Open,High,Low,Close,Quote Volume,Base Volume"", "","")"&
QUERY(";QUERY(TO_TEXT(CRYPTOFINANCE(""kraken:""&"&C2&
SEQUENCE(C3, 1, C4)&"&""/USD"",""price_history"",""10d"")), ""offset 1"", )",,9^9)&"})")}

I'd like to get the value of cell A1 from multiple tabs in my sheet. I attempted to use INDIRECT, only to be reminded that it wouldn't work in an ARRAYFORMULA. Is there some sort of "makeshifty" formula that would do the same thing?
This is what I originally attempted:
=ArrayFormula(IF(LEN(A2:A),INDIRECT(A2:A&"!A1"),))
Column A is a select list of the tab names in my sheet. So the first instance works, but of course, it doesn't populate down the column as I had hoped. I realize I can just copy the formula down the column, but some type of an ARRAYFORMULA would be ideal as I add rows to the list.
I found this answer, but don't see how I could apply it to my situation.
I also found this answer, but thought since it's 2.5 years old, maybe someone has discovered a clever way to avoid the drag of copying.
Answer:
You need to do this with a script or by using the drag method - INDIRECT uses a string reference and so can't be used with an array.
More Information:
Unfortunately for the user of INDIRECT with ARRAYFORMULA, a discovery of a clever method isn't the issue - the limitation of what can be done with only formulae that is the root of this problem.
Setting up a custom function:
From the Tools > Script editor menu item, you can create scripts. An example custom formula that you could use would be as follows:
function ARRAYINDIRECT(input) {
var ss = SpreadsheetApp.getActiveSpreadsheet();
return input.reduce(function(array, el) {
if (el[0]) array.push(el[0])
return array;
}, []).map(x => ss.getSheetByName(x).getRange("A1").getValue());
}
Make sure to then save the script with the save icon.
In your Sheet you can then call this custom formula as so:
=ARRAYINDIRECT(A2:A)
Rundown of the function:
Takes the input range from where the formula is called - in this case A2:A
Reduces the input to remove all cells that are empty
Maps the name of the sheet which is stored in the cell to the value in A1 of the sheet it references
Returns an array to output

I have a checkbox group and I am trying to get the values selected via SSJS, but so far I have not been successful. I've tried several syntaxes, such as:
document1.getItemValueArray ("nameField")
and
getComponent ("nameField") getSelectedValues ();
Does anyone know a way to get the selected values from a checkbox group?
document1.getFirstItem("nameField").getValues() may be what you want. If it's one value, it will be a string, not a Vector, which may be a problem with getItemValueArray().
With ODA (OpenNTF Domino API), we extended the getItemValue() method to take a second parameter and cast the result to that kind of object. That has a big benefit for this kind of scenario, allowing getItemValue("nameField", ArrayList.class) to always return an ArrayList even for a single value, plus ArrayList is a much better and more modern Java (so relevant also for SSJS) construct than a Vector.
I am creating a dynamic reporting tool that creates reports from data sourced from Wonderware. The data that is sourced is gathered from various pumps/flows/temps around site for operators/management to use. I want to create a dynamic sheet rather than use the wizards available because of limited IT experience of some of the operators.
I have managed to create the report but have one issue that i cannot resolve that would help the sheet become more user friendly.
I have some array formulas that link to cells that have dropdowns. (This is what helps make it user friendly). The drop down cells include, which server to look at, which tagname to look for, the start time, the duration and the number of cells in the array.
When changing the number of cells in the array cell dropdown the array doesnt change until you select a cell in within the array and then select the Refresh Function command. This then changes the array.
I want to write a macro that will select several cells on the sheet that have individual arrays and select Refresh Function command. I will then assign this to a shape that can quickly and easily be selected.
Can anyone help with this macro please?
You just need to add the reference to ActiveFactoryWorkbook in visual basic editor, and then something like this:
Range("B11").Activate
ActiveFactoryWorkbook.wwRefreshFunction
Be sure that in the cell B11 you will have a part of the array the query generates. As you have to refresh more than one array just copy the code again and change the cell reference.
Sub Workbook_RefreshAll()
ActiveWorkbook.RefreshAll
End Sub
I need to add an array of non-adjacent cells to my array formula. I have tried all of the following array constant-like ways and they all give me a "There is a problem with this formula error".
'Chart Data'!{A12:A14,D3:D11}
{'Chart Data'!A12:A14,'Chart Data'!D3:D11}
'Chart Data'!{A12,A13,A14,D3:D11}
{'Chart Data'!A12,'Chart Data'!A13,'Chart Data'!A14,'Chart Data'!D3:D11}
'Chart Data'!{A12,A13,A14,D3,D4,D5,D6,D7,D8,D9,D10,D11}
{'Chart Data'!A12,'Chart Data'!A13,'Chart Data'!A14,'Chart Data'!D3,'Chart Data'!D4,'Chart Data'!D5,'Chart Data'!D6,'Chart Data'!D7,'Chart Data'!D8,'Chart Data'!D9,'Chart Data'!D10,'Chart Data'!D11}
Entire formula (the array constant goes where the {#####} is):
{=SUM(((1-References!M1:M12)*({#####}*(G3:G14+F3:F14-0.11)))+((References!M1:M12)*('Chart Data'!A12:A23*(G3:G14+F3:F14-0.11)))+((H2:H13*X3:X14)+(H3:H14*Y3:Y14)+(I2:I13*(V3:V14-X3:X14))+(I3:I14*(W3:W14-Y3:Y14))))}
I am 100% positive that it is this particular array constant that is causing the problem. I can't move the cells I'm referencing to put them in line. Is it even possible to reference a non-adjacent range in an array formula? If it's possible, what am I doing wrong?
There are several ways to do this. The following is very simple and pretty direct so my favorite.
EITHER choose a cell to build your string for your non-contiguous array in OR create a Named Range to do it. I'll show the first as it seems nicest for being able to use the mouse freely, but in both of them you can actually be creative using about how you build the string that will become your array. The main advantage of creating it in a Named Range is no helper cell lying about anywhere.
So, you create that string and then make it an array. Say you have a non-contiguous array needed using cells A12:A14 and C3:C11. You use joining and TEXTJOIN() like so:
="{"&TEXTJOIN(",",FALSE,B12:B14,C3:C11)&"}"
to create a text string of the values in those cells wrapped with the curly braces ({}) just as if you'd typed it in ("hardcoded it"). It will look like this with the right values in those cells:
{1,2,3,1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9}
but is ain't an array yet.
Now the magic in THIS method. Create a Named Range, perhaps called String2Array, and give it a formula of:
=EVALUATE(A1)
(or whatever cell you used for the above formula creating the text string that you want to be an array). Make the reference absolute. ($A$1... which it will do for you, just don't edit it to be relative. If you use this for similar work, but need it relative, that will work fine, but it just isn't what is needed here.)
Now replace your placeholder in the formula with the Named Range's name (perhaps you DID use String2Array). And you're done.
A couple other methods use INDEX() or CHOOSE() and you can force things to be arrays using the functions DOLLARDE() and IMREAL() (I found on a helpsite in a 2014 post) and some others do the same kind of thing. In those days, one had to use {CSE} too, but SPILL takes care of that now (with those two weird-seeming friendlies and at least two others). The poster was someone I've seen on this site, EXCELXOR was the name for the site, XOR LX was the name of the member here though the functions were mentioned in a comment by a Lori. Since he covers, it seems, aspects not usually covered in helpsites, looking up some of his work here, or elsewhere too, might be worthwhile to some folks.
But this method is very direct and therefore easy to maintain. And personally, I love the idea that EVALUATE() (must be used IN the Named Range functionality, not cell-side) is the gift that keeps on giving, one wonderfully helpful thing after another.
So many ways. You could even literally build the array in a helper column/row somewhere and reference THAT instead of the non-contiguous addresses. I like the joining+TEXTJOIN() approach best because I can use the mouse to easily get all the blocks into the formula since it is a LIVE formula. But you can type out a string fairly easily too and add the {}'s. Or perhaps a user would type a string of addresses and you'd add them like the formula does above. And you can insert actual values (constants) into the string you are building as well if that is appropriate. And you could build it formulaicly... I wouldn't pick that workload first thing off the pile of choices, but if you were going to do it anyway already, then... or if it's a small build.
