I've spent like two hours or more trying to figure out what a "ved" parameter on a Google search means. A curious person I am.
My finds so far:
$ved value changes-
1 - every different search result (diff keywords)
2 - every different resulted block (the url blocks/boxed on the resulted google search, but they are quite similar, as I'll write down below)
3 - every different geolocation perhaps
Consider these tests or lookups:
1-
Diff keywords, but first block/position in list:
&ved=2ahUKEwidsaSd4M_1AhVlk_0HHUxOCQYQFnoECAsQAg
&ved=2ahUKEwj2pZyN5s_1AhVRmuYKHZ5IB5EQFnoECAcQAg
I thought the "ved" value refers to the block/position of a url in the result list, but no.
2-
Twree different urls, first and second from the 1st and 2nd blocks of first page, then third from a "much farther on the list" block:
ved=2ahUKEwjq1-Wb1s_1AhW6SWwGHZwpBMwQFnoECD8QAQ
ved=2ahUKEwjq1-Wb1s_1AhW6SWwGHZwpBMwQFnoECCAQAQ
ved=2ahUKEwiZ2NDe1s_1AhVaTmwGHThIA5U4PBAWegQIGRAB
The same website url, from different countries (not considering blocks or position in list):
&ved=2ahUKEwiopK2X08_1AhUgxzgGHQEbDkcQFnoECBIQAQ
&ved=2ahUKEwjpueqC1M_1AhWJq3IEHYEDAfc4FBAWegQIDBAB
&ved=2ahUKEwih09Wz08_1AhUY7WEKHQYdBB8QFnoECEIQAQ
Very similar they are.
I'd really love to know what they mean. Any ideas are appreciated too!
I found an interesting article explaining the subject : https://moz.com/blog/inside-googles-ved-parameter
TL;DR:
A ved code contains up to five separate parameters, which each tell you something about the link that was clicked on:
1st (parameter1: Link index) gives you an idea of where the link was on the page.
2nd (parameter2: Link type) is a number that corresponds to the 'type' of the link that was clicked.
3rd (parameter7: Start result position) is the cumulative result position of the first result on the page.
4th (parameter 6: Result position) indicates the position of your page in the search results.
5th (parameter 5: Sub-result position) like the (parameter 6), except it tells you the position in a list of sub-results, such as breadcrumbs, or one-page sitelinks.

I'm trying to produce a SKU in Google Sheets for a product using the values of three variants (Title, Colour and Size)
The product is 'Lightweight trainers' with colour variants of 'Red' and 'Blue', and the sizes range from 5 - 12.
Link to spreadsheet
https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1trq0X3MjR-n2THFnT8gYYlwKscnQavCeeZ8L-ifYaHw/edit?usp=sharing
Aim
I'm hoping to have a SKU that displays the product, the colour variant and the shoes size.
Example: LW-1-8 (Lightweight trainer, colour Red, size 8)
Product is Lightweight Trainers with a value of LW.
Colour variant 'Red' with a value of 1 and 'Blue' with a value of 2.
Shoe size variant = number ranging from 5 to 12.
Here's what I have so far, joining the colour and size variants.
=IFS(I2="Red",1,I2="Blue",2)&"-"& IFS(K2="5",5,K2="6",6,K2="7",7,K2="8",8,K2="9",9,K2="10",10,K2="11",11,K2="12",12)
However, I'm getting stuck in joining the data in column B with this function.
Any help with combining this data from multiple cells into one would be greatly appreciated.
TL;DR
=ARRAYFORMULA(IF(B2:B<>"", IFS(B2:B="Lightweight Trainers", "LW")&"-"&IFS(I2:I="Blue", 1, I2:I="Red", 2)&"-"&K2:K,))
Answer
What you want is basically:
<title>-<color number>-<shoe size>
To convert this to a function we can split it into each part and take it step by step:
Step 1: Title
For the first part -the title- we need to match the value with the shorthand. A simple list in an IFS is enough.
IFS(B2="Lightweight Trainers", "LW")
Obviously for now it only has a single value (Lightweight Trainers) but you could add more:
IFS(B2="Lightweight Trainers", "LW", B2="Heavyweight Trainers", "HW")
Step 2: color number
Similar to the previous step, it’s a mapping using ifs:
IFS(I2="Blue", "-1", I2="Red", "-2")
The dash is added so when adding everything it will only have it if
Step 3: shoe size
In this case we can simply get the value:
K2
Step 4: Adding everything together
We only need to add it with the dashes in between:
=IFS(B2="Lightweight Trainers", "LW")&"-"&IFS(I2="Blue", 1, I2="Red", 2)&"-"&K2
Step 5: Extending for the entire column automatically
We will use ARRAYFORMULA to add a single formula to the first cell and get it automatically extended to the entire column. We first add it to the formula we already have, and then extend the ranges to the entire column:
=ARRAYFORMULA(IFS(B2:B="Lightweight Trainers", "LW")&"-"&IFS(I2:I="Blue", 1, I2:I="Red", 2)&"-"&K2:K)
Remember to remove all the values in the column so array formula doesn’t override them (it would generate an error).
As you can see the formula generates errors for the rows that have no values. A good way of handling this case is to filter the rows without a title. In a single row would be:
=IF(B2<>"", [the entire formula],)
Notice the last comma.
So putting everything together and extending its range to the column, is:
=ARRAYFORMULA(IF(B2:B<>"", IFS(B2:B="Lightweight Trainers", "LW")&"-"&IFS(I2:I="Blue", 1, I2:I="Red", 2)&"-"&K2:K,))
Adding this to N2 should work.
Final notes
It seems that you use 150 when the size it’s not a whole number. If you want to keep that functionality you may use:
IF(K2-int(K2)=0, K2, 150)
On the last component and expand it the same way.
You may also want to prevent having two dashes when a value is missing (LW-5 instead of LW--5). To do so, I’d recommend adding it to each component instead of the formula that adds them together.

try in N2:

IFS(K2=5,5,K2=6,6,K2=7,7,K2=8,8,K2=9,9,K2=10,10,K2=11,11,K2=12,12)
or use:
=IF(I2="red", 1, IF(I2="blue", 2, )&IF((K5>=5)*(K5<=12), "-"&K5, )
I have a sample list of student and grades/subject in this file
enter image description here
https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1NeHlUaRnbvdJ2yJ38fUETGgBoYseQ8CuXmwRCwObAlM/edit#gid=0
On the range A16:A I'd like to see the list of names who has the grades of around 90-100 when I check any of the checkbox on B15:k15
the first example is when I check all of the boxes
I will only see the first name on the list because he is the only one with the 90-100 scores on all subject
2nd example when I check B15 and C15
I will only see the 1st and 2nd names on the list because he's those who only able to get a 90-100 score on those two subjects.
Is there a way to do this kind of filtering? thank you so much
Since this is your first post, I'm going to go with the approach I think you'll find easiest to understand. It's a long formula (which I've placed in a new sheet called "Erik Help" in A16), but it's just a repeat of the same element several times:
=FILTER(A2:K11, IF(B15=TRUE, B2:B11>=90, B2:B11^0), IF(C15=TRUE, C2:C11>=90, B2:B11^0), IF(D15=TRUE, D2:D11>=90, D2:D11^0), IF(E15=TRUE, E2:E11>=90, E2:E11^0), IF(F15=TRUE, F2:F11>=90, F2:F11^0), IF(G15=TRUE, G2:G11>=90, G2:G11^0), IF(H15=TRUE, H2:H11>=90, H2:H11^0), IF(I15=TRUE, I2:I11>=90, I2:I11^0), IF(J15=TRUE, J2:J11>=90, J2:J11^0), IF(K15=TRUE, K2:K11>=90, K2:K11^0))
The first argument of FILTER tells the function what to filter (in this case A2:K11).
After that, an IF statement is set up to check each checkbox. If the checkbox is checked, the FILTER will only include students who obtained a 90 or higher in that subject.
If the checkbox is NOT checked, then the student is automatically included (that's the part that says "B2:B11^0" etc., since anything to the zero-power equals 1, and 1 and TRUE are the same to Google Sheets). In other words, if no checkboxes were checked, then all students would read TRUE for all subjects, i.e., all students would be included (or, to think of it another way, no one is rules out). While the ^0 is not strictly necessary (i.e., any number other than zero is the same as TRUE), I think it's better formula practice and easier for others to understand if TRUE is represented either as TRUE or as 1.
I also set conditional formatting on A15:A, to bold the name as you had it. (The conditional formatting rule says, in English, "If anything is there, use bold.") You can see the rule by clicking anywhere in the range A15:A, then selecting Format > Conditional formatting from the menu and clicking the open the rule that appears in the window to the right of the screen.
I am trying to scrape data from this webpage: http://webfund6.financialexpress.net/clients/zurichcp/PortfolioPriceTable.aspx?SchemeID=33, and I specifically need data for fund number 26.
Have no problem getting data from the first page with this address (funds number 1-25), but for the hell of me can't scrape anything from the second page. Can someone help?
Thanks!
Here is the code I use: in Google Sheets:
=IMPORTXML("http://webfund6.financialexpress.net/clients/zurichcp/PortfolioPriceTable.aspx?SchemeID=33","/html/body/form[#id='MainForm']/table/tr/td/div[#id='main']/div[#id='tabResult']/div[#id='Prices']/table/thead/tr[26]/td[#class='Center'][1]")
You can do 2 things - one is to append the PgIndex=2 onto the end of your URL, and then you can also significantly simplify your xpath to this:
//*[#id='Prices']//tr[2]/td[2]
This specifically grabs the second row on the table (tr which means table-row), in order to bypass the header row, then grabs the second field which is the table-data cell.
=IMPORTXML("http://webfund6.financialexpress.net/clients/zurichcp/PortfolioPriceTable.aspx?SchemeID=33&PgIndex=2","//*[#id='Prices']//tr[2]/td[2]")
To get the second page, add &PgIndex=2 to your url. Then adjust the /table/thead/tr[26] to /table/thead/tr[2]. The result is:
=IMPORTXML("http://webfund6.financialexpress.net/clients/zurichcp/PortfolioPriceTable.aspx?SchemeID=33&PgIndex=2","/html/body/form[#id='MainForm']/table/tr/td/div[#id='main']/div[#id='tabResult']/div[#id='Prices']/table/thead/tr[2]/td[#class='Center'][1]")
We are using the following code (generated by php but finally this is on client side)
c3.generate({'bindto':'#b65d3422__salestaffcommunication_xepan_base_view_chart_chart','data':{'keys':{'x':'name','value':['Email','Call','Meeting']},'groups':[['Email','Call','Meeting']],'json':[],'type':'bar'},'axis':{'x':{'type':'category'},'rotated':true},'onrendered':function(ev,ui){$(".widget-grid").masonry({'itemSelector':'.widget'})}});
c3.generate({'bindto':'#f67e14d8__t_masscommunication_xepan_base_view_chart_chart','data':{'keys':{'x':'name','value':['Newsletter','TeleMarketing']},'groups':[['Newsletter','TeleMarketing']],'json':[],'type':'bar'},'axis':{'x':{'type':'category'},'rotated':true},'onrendered':function(ev,ui){$(".widget-grid").masonry({'itemSelector':'.widget'})}});
c3.generate({'bindto':'#517df254__ableworkforce_xepan_base_view_chart_chart','data':{'columns':[['present',11.111111111111]],'type':'gauge'},'color':{'pattern':['#FF0000','#F97600','#F6C600','#60B044'],'threshold':{'values':[30,60,90,100]}},'onrendered':function(ev,ui){$(".widget-grid").masonry({'itemSelector':'.widget'})}});
And last graph is not drawn. showing
SyntaxError (DOM Exception 12): The string did not match the expected pattern.
However, I can run ANY two and it works fine. that means all code is perfect but once second one is drawn ( no matter in which order). Third one doesn't draws.
Is it any known bug, or any workaround known.
Using v0.4.11 of c3 from c3js.org
Here is my jsfiddle

Thank you.
IDs cannot start with a number, which is the case of your third ID.
The simple solution is just adding a letter to it:
'bindto':'#a517df254_ //just put an "a" before the number here

This is a great site, and I've already had a lot of questions answered simply by scrolling and searching through other postings. Unfortunately, I can't seem to track down an answer that specifically helps this problem, and figured I would try posting and looking for help-
I'm using ImportXML and google spreadsheets to 'scrape'a few product descriptions from a retail site. It's been working fine for the most part, and I have done it in 2 ways:
1) Specific call to the description part of a post:
=ImportXML(A1,"//div[#class='desc']")
2) Call to the entire 'product Card', which also returns info such as product title, price, time posted, and places these items in adjacent cells in my Google spreadsheet:
=ImportXML(A1,"//div[#class='productCard']")
Both have worked fine, but I've ran into a different problem using each method. If I can resolve even one of these problems, then I'll happily scrap the other method, I just need one of them to work. The problems are:
Method 1) The website prohibits sellers from including contact information in product postings-- when they include an email address anyways, the site automatically blocks it, so that in the posting it simply appears as "...you can reach me at [obscured]" or something like that. The [obscured] appears in a different colour text and is obviously treated differently somehow. When I scrape these descriptions using Method 1, ImportXML appears to get 'bumped' when it hits the word [obscured], and it passed the remaining text from that product description to the next cell over in my spreadsheet. This ruins the entire organization of the sheet, and I'd like to find a way where I can get ImportXML to just ignore the [obscured], and still place the entire text of the product description in one cell.
Method 2) My call for the entire 'product Card' is as follows:
=ImportXML(A1,"//div[#class='productCard']")
As mentioned, this works fine (for most products), and I don't mind the additional info (price, date, etc.) being posted in adjacent cells.
However, the website also allows certain products to be 'featured', where they appear in a different colour box on the site, and are therefore more likely to get a buyer's attention.
Using this method, the 'featured' products are not scraped or imported into my spreadsheet, but are simply passed over.
The source code (on actual site) (via 'inspect element' in Safari) for both the description (Method 1) and product card (Method 2) look as follows (for a normal product (a) and a featured product (b)):
(a)
<div id="productSearchResults">
<div class="productCard tracked">
<div>...</div>
<div class="stats">...</div>
<div class="desc collapsed descFull">...</div>
</div>
(b)
<div id="productSearchResults">
<div class="productCard featured tracked">
<div>...</div>
<div class="stats">...</div>
<div class="desc collapsed descFull">...</div>
</div>
You can see in both (a) an (b) the 'desc' class that I call in Method 1, which seems to work fine.
From my reading on this site, I think I've learned that a given class can't have more than one word, and therefore the use of "desc collapsed descFull" and "productCard tracked" and "productCard featured tracked" don't represent classes with 3, 2 and 3 words in the title, but instead cases where multiple classes have been assigned?
Regardless, the call to 'desc' (Method 1) works fine and seems to get all descriptions.
In method 2 therefore, I would have thought that a call to 'productCard' would get the info for all products, both featured and regular, as 'featured' is an extra class assigned to some 'productCard's. If I call all 'productCard's, shouldn't the normal AND featured ones be returned? This is currently not the case. I've tried calling just 'tracked' and just 'featured' as classes, and neither returns anything, so my logic that they are their own class equivalent to 'productCard' may be flawed.
In summary, the 'desc' call in Method 1 works fine, and even gets descriptions for 'featured' products. However, when contact information is included in the description and is displayed as [obscured] it bumps my data into the next cell in the spreadsheet, immediately following the word. This throws off and ruins all organization.
In Method 2, I am not getting the featured products at all, which greatly weakens what I am trying to do. Can either (or both!) of these problems be fixed??
Thanks so so much for any help you can give me.
***UPDATE: As seen in the comments below, use of the 'contain' as suggested improved Method 2 by retrieving both regular and featured products. However, featured product cards have extra text elements, and since the entire card is being scraped in this method, featured products do not match the cell alignment that regular products do. If there is a way to fix Method 1, this would therefore be much better.
As outlined in the comments below, the [obscured] text appears in a 'span' that follows underneath/indented from the
<div class="desc descFull collapsed"
as
<span class="obscureText">[obscured]</span>
Is there any way that I can import the 'desc's as I have been, but tell the XPath to essentially 'ignore' the [obscured] span, or at least deal with it in a way that doesn't make description text immediately after [obscured] appear one cell over?
Thanks so much everyone!
You can wrap your function with the concatenate()-function to make sure it all shows up in one cell:
=concatenate(ImportXML(A1,"//div[#class='productCard']"))
