I have a spreadsheet with a lot of columns for each year, and I need a formula that I can apply on the entire table to update the cumulative sum. Better explanation in the picture below:
The top part is how I have the table currently. The bottom part is how I need the table to be, and be able to make updates any time to any cell.
At the moment I am just having a separate 'table' of all that, where I run this formula:
=ArrayFormula(SUMIF(COLUMN(B3:J3),"<="&COLUMN(B3:J3),B3:J3))
What I need is this applied to the entire table, so whenever I make an update in any cell, it will update and run the entire cumulative sum across the years for each user.
your current solution is best you can have in Google Sheets by using internal formula functions. a small improvement can be done to have it under one formula if you stack individual rows (in your case pasted in B11 cell - based on image) like this:
=ARRAYFORMULA({
SUMIF(COLUMN(B3:J3),"<="&COLUMN(B3:J3),B3:J3);
SUMIF(COLUMN(B4:J4),"<="&COLUMN(B4:J4),B4:J4);
SUMIF(COLUMN(B5:J5),"<="&COLUMN(B5:J5),B5:J5)})
if you seek for instant cumulative calculation on a given range fully editable - it could be (if) possible only with a script.

I have a google sheet that contains rows in sorted order based on a date column. Now I want to highlight the row(make it bold) which is nearest to the current date but not greater than it, i.e., today>=max (dates where date <= current date). Can someone please help me out on how to achieve this?
--Update--
I have solved the problem by moving the expression to another cell and then referencing the cell in the conditional formatting from there. Now I have a new problem, I want to generate one cell's value and make that non-editable. In simple words, I want to generate create date of a row and put that date in a column named create date. I think I have to use the google apps script but not sure if the idea of putting a system-generated date in a column is feasible.
first time posting, so bear with me.
I have successfully designed a google sheet that automatically creates a crop map based on the crop plan in another tab ('Successions')
In 'Successions' the following columns are relevant:
Column A - Succession ID
Column C - Row ID
Column R - Planting Date
Column W - Harvest Date
In "Map 1A" I have created a map of our field, with Column B representing the Row ID and the columns to the right each representing a week of the year, whose start dates are defined in row 2.
My goal is to map each succession on the appropriate row for the duration that it will be in the ground (Planting Date to Harvest Date). I will have different successions occupying the same row during different date ranges.
I accomplished this in three steps:
Step 1
Every cell (except the left most column) contains a formula that returns and text joins (if multiple results) any successions in that row during that week - if an only if the value it would return is different than the value the cell to left would return. The result is that the succession ID is only displayed on the week that it starts. The formula in these cells is:
=Iferror(If((Textjoin(" / ",True,FILTER(Successions!$A$2:$A$647,RegExMatch(Successions!$C$2:$C$647,$B3),Successions!$R$2:$R$647<D$2,Successions!$W$2:$W$647>D$2)))=(Textjoin(" / ",True,Iferror(FILTER(Successions!$A$2:$A$647,RegExMatch(Successions!$C$2:$C$647,$B3),Successions!$R$2:$R$647<C$2,Successions!$W$2:$W$647>C$2),""))),"",(Textjoin(" / ",True,FILTER(Successions!$A$2:$A$647,RegExMatch(Successions!$C$2:$C$647,$B3),Successions!$R$2:$R$647<D$2,Successions!$W$2:$W$647>D$2)))),"")
The code for the leftmost column, which I did not want to check the cell to the left is:
=Iferror((Textjoin(" / ",True,FILTER(Successions!$A$2:$A$647,RegExMatch(Successions!$C$2:$C$647,$B3),Successions!$R$2:$R$647<C$2,Successions!$W$2:$W$647>C$2))),"")
Step 2
Because every cell contains a formula, I could not get the succession ID to spill into the adjacent cell and thus be readable. To solve this, I have an adjacent tab called "Map Final" that mirrors "Map 1A" via an Array Formula. Because it does not carry over formulas just values, it allows text to spill over.
Step 3
Conditional formatting is applied to "Map Final" via the Custom Formula function. There will be a rule for each crop type. Each succession is automatically colored the color of its crop type, and the color fills all cells for the duration of the succession.
My question is this:
How could I accomplish this same mapping in a more efficient way? Currently any update to Successions takes 30 seconds to a minute to update. The progress bars are killing me and basically make this really cool tool unusable for crop planning purposes, during which we are going back and forth from data to map frequently to make placement decisions.
Do you think this is possible using a custom script that pushes data rather than pulling data?
Would it render faster, or is the way I'm doing it the most efficient way?
While that is my main question, I am certainly open to any advice you have for improving speed by simply refining my current method.
Thanks in advance for any help you can provide!
I would like to add a script to a button I created in Google Sheets. I would like the button to add a new column before my "Month Loss" column. I would like the new column to copy the formulas and formatting of the column to the left.
This will provide an easy way to track my body measurements and help to determine calculate my body fat percentage.
Here is a link to my sheet: https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1DP0SQpU16YEfPWoE8IRknoqQWu0wrFagzhLflVOkn8M/edit?usp=sharing
A Pivot Table has been created though script. if you try to programmatically update the range, there is no way either because named ranges need to be deleted then re-added which causes on the pivot.
if you are adding the new row by script, do not append it to the end. instead keep a fake row at the end and insert the new row just before it. your range (named or not) will update.
Even for the google forms case you might get it to work by pre-adding all blank rows to the response sheet and make the named range include the blank ones too.

I am trying to create a dynamic table - I have tried a Pivot Table, but cannot get it to work. So I thought that maybe it could be done with an IF-statement, but that did not work for me neither.
Basically, I have 2 tables, 1 table containing the information (data source table) and 1 table that should be dynamic according to the data in the first table.
So if I change the data in the E-column, the Fruit table (image below) must be updated accordingly.
So if I write 2 instead of 1 in the count of Apples, then it should create 2 apples under the "Fruit"-column". Data in the remaining columns will be calculated with a formula/fixed data - so that is not important.
I am open to any solutions; formulas, pivot tables, VBA, etc.
Have a nice weekend.
I have both Excel 2010 and 2013.
If you want to repeat some text a number of times you can use a somewhat complicated formula to do it. It relies on there not being duplicate entries in the Fruits table and no entries with 0 count.
Picture of ranges and results
Formulas involved include a starter cell E2 and a repeating entry E3 and copied down. These are actually normal formulas, no array required. Note that I have created a Table for the data which allows me to use named fields to get the whole column.
E2 = INDEX(Table1[Fruits],1)
E3 = IF(
INDEX(Table1[Count],MATCH(E2,Table1[Fruits],0))>COUNTIF($E$2:E2,E2),
E2,
INDEX(Table1[Fruits],MATCH(E2,Table1[Fruits],0)+1))
How it works
This formula relies on checking the number of entries above the current one and comparing to the desired count. Some notes:
The starter cell is needed to get the first result.
After the first cell, it counts how often the value above appears in the total list. This is compared to the desired count. If less than desired, it will repeat the value from above. If greater, it will go to the next item in the list. There is a dual relative/absolute reference in here to count cells above.
Since it goes to the next item in the list, don't put a 0 for a count or it will get included once.
You can copy this down for as many cells as you want. It will #REF! when it runs out of data. You can wrap in an IFERROR(..., "") to make these display pretty.
If the non-0 rule is too much, it can probably be removed with a little effort. If there are duplicates, that will be much harder to deal with.
I'm new to Google Script, so appreciate your help!
Here's what my data looks like (3 non-contiguous records, 4 non-contiguous fields):
https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/18FFB2HlcfcciHj7NPmihZbuf47op2UMdRTKfpyTqowU/edit#gid=0
I have an array of the items and each item is an object that contains 4 keys. I want to output to Google Sheets in as few SetValue requests as possible. If I can't do it in 1 call, then it makes most logical sense to output each item at a time.
My idea is that I can create ranges for fields 1 and 4 that span the entire column. Then I can create ranges that span the entire Item row. Then the INTERSECTION between the 2 is the range I want to output to, once I have assembled an array of 2 values.
Or perhaps since assuming I know the rows/columns of each cell below, I can return the range and the use a UNION of the ranges to create the mapping instead.
But is there a function to do Intersection or Union in GAS? Or am I better off just outputting each cell 1 by 1?
Thanks for your help!
There's no such function. It's either one by one or contiguous cells.
But there's quite a few tricks/alternatives that might work for you. As Sandy pointed in a comment, you could get a contiguous range that had all required cells and set the non-required ones to blank or their original values. This has the down side of not working for formulas.
You could also pre-configured the required cells with simple formulas "pointing" to a continuous range. That would simply bulk update at once.
If bulk setting is really required, you could also grab all values and formulas of the wide range, and convert all plain values to their equivalent formulas, e.g. abc becomes ="abc" and 1/1/2015 =DATE(2015,1,1) (yes, it's cumbersome) and then use setFormulas to set everything back, both original formulas and values converted to formulas. Making no actual content change in the cells you don't want to and changing the required ones, all in one bulk operation.
Anyway, these are just workarounds. As stated in the first sentence, it's not possible, period. You probably want to star this report in Apps Script issue tracker to kind of vote for this feature and receive updates.
