Count the values from a variable column - google-apps-script

I have a problem writing down a formula or a script in Google Sheet or Google App Script to find and count the values in a sheet where the number and references to the columns change.
I have a script that copy&paste the Sheet files for the staff shifts of every week from a Drive folder and merge them side by side (in horizontal).
In this sheet that contains all the shifts merged I want to count all the cells of the staff filtered only for handler and picker (column B, K, etc.) according to a specific date (row 3) for every hour.
Example: if today is 28/10/2020 find the right column with the same date in row 3 --> column E, count all the values from row 4 filtered by picker or handler for every hour (10 people at 05 AM).
Do you think that I can implement this with a formula (like a matrix, vlookup, etc.) or should it be written as a Script?
Thank you very much,
Marco

Please use the following
=COUNTA(QUERY({A3:I;J3:R},"select Col"&MATCH(A1,A3:I3)&"
where Col2 matches 'Technician|Picker' "))
Where B1 holds the date you wish to search for (28/10/2010)

Try the below formula. Replace date with your search date.
=COUNTA(INDEX(A4:R14,,MATCH(DATE(2020,10,28),A3:R3)))

This was earlier tagged as excel. This is how to "tackle" this in excel (office 365):
In a clear column use the following formula to get the unique hour-values that are in the column that equal today:
=UNIQUE(FILTER(INDEX(($4:$1048576,,MATCH(TODAY(),$3:$3,0)),INDEX(($4:$1048576,,MATCH(TODAY(),$3:$3,0))<>""))
In the column next to that type the following to get the result of the count of those unique values for that day:
=COUNTIF(INDEX(($4:$1048576,,MATCH(TODAY(),$3:$3,0)), FILTER (I:I,I:I<>""))
Where I:I in FILTER (I:I,I:I<>"") needs to be changed into the column you put the first formula.

How to count unique values that are present in 2 different sheets only if they exist in both sheets

[Goal]
I want to be able to count unique values that are present in 2 different sheets only if they exist in both sheets.
[Details]
First, there are 2 sample data sheets (Data A, Data B) within the same Spreadsheet and it also has a sample dashboard to do the calculations. One thing to note about the data sheets is that they have different ranges, so they have different number of columns and rows. However, a couple things they have in common are the Month and ID columns.
Next, in the Dashboard sheet, there are 3 cells where B3 is the Month selector, C3 is to count the number of unique IDs that are included in both sheets (Data A & Data B) based on the month. With D3, I would like to count the number of unique IDs that are included in both sheets (Data A & Data B) where the the Month are the same AND Data B sheet's Cumulative column is 1.
[What I tried so far]
I tried using the COUNTUNIQUEIFS function and had the range as an array (by using the curly bracket) in the below way, however, it didn't work.
=COUNTUNIQUEIFS('Data A'!$B:$B,'Data A'!$A:$A,B3,'Data B'!$A:$A,B3)
I also tried without making the range argument an array.
=COUNTUNIQUEIFS('Data A'!$B:$B,'Data B'!$A:$A,B3)
Both attempts results in 1 for February 2023 when it should return 2. The weird thing is that January 2023 should return 3 and it correctly returns 3.
Hope someone can help me out with this. If there's a more elegant solution to achieve this by using Google Apps Scripts, I'd like to see hear about that as well.
You can try filtering both ranges for month, and the FILTER again by comparing them with MATCH and counting the remaining results:
=LAMBDA(ar,br,COUNTA(IFERROR(FILTER(ar,NOT(ISERROR (MATCH(ar,br,0))))))
(FILTER('Data A'!B:B,'Data )A'!A:A=B3),FILTER('Data B'!B:B,'Data B'!A:A=B3))
And just add an additional filter for the next column and the cumulative =1 'Data B'!C:C=1
=LAMBDA(ar,br,COUNTA(IFERROR(FILTER(ar,NOT(ISERROR (MATCH(ar,br,0)))))) (FILTER('Data A'!B:B,'Data )A'!A:A=B3),FILTER('Data B'!B:B,'Data B'!A:A=B3,'Data B'!C:C=1))

Can I show the results of COUNTIF in one column only if there is data in another column?

I have a spreadsheet with multiple sheets.
Sheet A is generated from a template, and it is where users will enter in data to be formatted into a report; it will be deleted after that report is submitted.
As people enter info into Column A of Sheet A, they don't have to enter client information if we already have them entered in this spreadsheet, but otherwise they need to go over to Sheet B and enter it in.
To make it easier for them (so they don't have to check every time, or go back and enter info later after getting an error generating the report), I have used conditional formatting. The way it works is, column Z is set up as a helper column, and uses a "COUNTIF" function to check if the client ID in Sheet A, Column A is found in Sheet B, Column C. Sheet A Column Z returns 0 or 1 (or, theoretically, more than one if we had duplicates), and then Sheet A column A has conditional formatting based on Column Z's value-- if the client is already in, the cell for client ID turns green after they type it; if not, it turns red.
It works great! However, I am adding scripts to these sheets, and looping through them. This helper column is filled from Z1 to Z1000, which means I can't use sheet.maxRow() to get the last row.
I see plenty of workarounds on the script side, but I was wondering if anyone has a clever way to input a value into the helper column Z ONLY IF the corresponding cell (same row) in column A has a value using spreadsheet formulas.
I suspect that an array formula with a filter might do it, but I have little experience with either and can't get anything to work out.
Thanks for your help!
You can use this expression with INDEX, MAX and ROW to make an ARRAYFORMULA only expandable until the last cell with value in column:
A2:INDEX(A2:A,MAX(ROW(A2:A)*(A2:A<>"")))
It will go from A2 to the maximum number of row in A in which A is different than null (that's why both conditions are multiplied).
Then you can set a formula like this in Z2 (check the ranges in case something is not right from reading your text, and delete all other formulas in Z too in case you weren't using an arrayformula already):
=BYROW(A2:INDEX(A2:A,MAX(ROW(A2:A)*(A2:A<>""))),LAMBDA(each,IF(each="","",COUNTIF('Sheet B'!C:C,each))))

Setting array formula until last column in Google Sheets

I have a formula as follows in google sheets:
=ARRAYFORMULA(IF(LEN(F2:F),IFERROR(SPLIT(REPT("PAID ",F2:F)&REPT("- ",(24-F2:F))," ")),))
This formula will show paid according to number of paid in the cell and show "-" to the cells in the rest column. For now, this formula is only applicable for columns. I dont want like that, I want this formula to be used until the last column because the number of columns will be increased every year. I dont know whether this should be done in Google App Script or what. Anything should be fine to solve my problems. I have attached some images to explain myself clearly. Thanks in advance.

I will use the sheet "JALAN SANGGUL 4" as an example. Then you will need to apply to all of the other sheets that have the same structure.
Replace your current G1 formula with this:
=TRANSPOSE(FILTER(Configuration!P2:P,Configuration!P2:P<>""))
Replace your current G2 formula with this:
=ARRAYFORMULA(IF(LEN(F2:F),IFERROR(SPLIT(REPT("PAID ",F2:F)&REPT("- ",(COUNTA(FILTER(G1:1,G1:1<>""))-F2:F))," ",1,1)),))
The added FILTER in each constrains things to only areas where data exists. By counting where only data exists instead of using a set "24" in the second REPT clause, you'll always get dashes going only as far as there are months in Row 1.

Need to extract row number and insert into cell

I'm trying to use Google Forms/Sheets as an ordering tool. I've already created the form and set up the script on my Results spreadsheet to summarize the order and send the user a confirmation email. In that email, it takes the row number of the form submission and uses that as the order number.
These columns are populated via the form (Timestamp, Email Address, Site, Item Requested, Requestor / Room #, Site Budget Code & Additional Information) while the remaining columns are filled in manually.
My issue now is that the higher-ups want to be able to extract all of that data for record keeping purposes. From what I can tell, Google Sheets does not have the ability to print the rows/columns, so I would like to extract the row number and insert it into the Order # column on the sheet.
Can anyone help with writing a script to make that happen? Here is a link to the spreadsheet: https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1LlPf4KkV-c1az-vn2ES0TFOhAOipnicvkj3cPye95IY/edit#gid=763456666
Thanks!!
Place this in row 1 of the column where you want the Order #'s to be:
=arrayformula(if(ROW(A1:A) = 1, "Order #", IF(ISBLANK(A1:A),,ROW(A1:A))))
This will place Order # in the the first row due to the first IF statement. In each subsequent row it will place the row number IF cell A in that row is not blank. The Google Form will place a timestamp here so every submission should have a value for cell A.
Since the second IF statement has no value for a TRUE check on ISBLANK() it will place no value in any cell where row A has no value. Had I used "" here it would actually place a value and potentially interfere with other formulas and scripts.

Google Spreadsheet Populating Cells in Other Sheet Based on Value

Am new to Google Docs, but have to create a cumulative report of comments that are flagged as positive or negative. I have 6 worksheets that ideally would populate to a single report, but I could create 6 individual reports for now.
In the source sheet, ColA is a numeric code identifying the category. Col B is the category description; Col C are the notes from one person; Col D is the code to identify it as positive or negative; Cols E and F are the notes from a 2nd person; G/H from a 3rd, etc.
The report sheet needs to transpose the vertical comments by category with the positive comments for all persons for the first category in Col G, the negative comments for the 1st category in Col H, etc for all 6 categories.
I was able to manually create this report using the following formula to extract the Positive comments from column C:
QUERY(EntrySheet1!C5:D15;"select * where D='P'")
But, it's pretty tedious to copy the formula laterally and vertically to accommodate all 6 categories and all 6 note takers.
So, my questions are whether or not there is an easier way to extract the information the way I need to report it. Also, is there a way to use something like Excel's Indirect function where I could use the concatenate function to build the formulas and the Indirect to evaluate that function. My thought here is that I could have an entry cell where I would identify which cumulative report I wanted to view by simply updating the cell. An alternative would be to load the data into an array and use a script to populate a static cumulative report. Real-time updating with formulas would be ideal, but creating a static report that is created from a script is acceptable. My biggest concern is the manual effort to update the formulas since they are sheet specific.
Use Google Spreadsheet INDIRECT function.
See the Google spreadsheets function list:
INDIRECT(reference)
Returns the reference specified by a text string. This function can also be used to
return the area of a corresponding string. Reference is a reference to a cell or an
area (in text form) for which to return the contents.
You might be able to feed the results of indirect into your query.
