Formula to add cell values in a range BUT only add value up to 5
I have a sheet that I keep soccer scores on for district rankings.  One statistic that we must keep is "Goals Scored Maximum 5" and "Goals Against Maximum 5"  Is there a way to add the goals per game but only add the values up to 5 in each cell?  For example: 5, 9, 6, 1, and 3 would only add to 19 because anything over 5 is not added into the Sum.  I do not want it to omit the values if the cell reads greater than 5.


Please help! Thanks!

Data Reporting with Additional Dates
Hi Guys,

I have data I wanted to generate reports.

1.) My problem is how can I do this automatically based on ranking.

2.) Second, report generation must be done monthly and so on.. E.g. If I encoded a new month, a new report for that month must be automatically created on a new column.

I attached my actual sheet.

Thank you in advance,

Paul

Lookup value based on two criteria

I want to figure out the rate of pay for an employee based on the position and the number of years worked.  The first sheet has the employee's position and the number of years worked. The second sheet has a list of positions and the rate of pay based on the number of years worked.

I have tried a variety of formulas with no luck.  I am able to do the lookup based on the position but don't know how to get the rate of pay based on the number of years worked. Any help would be appreciated.

Thank you,

yogi_Help With LookUp/Match and Split

Google Spreadsheet   Post  #2151
Yogi Anand, D.Eng, P.E.      ANAND Enterprises LLC -- Rochester Hills MI     www.energyefficientbuild.com.   Apr-10-2017
Hi all,

I have been creating a spreadsheet which feeds directly from a Trello API.  One of the columns returns all of the tags for a given customer in a comma seperated list and I am looking for a way to look up the most recent and then only return the details to the right of the "unit:" tag before the next seperator (,). 

So far I have found a way to lookup the latest version:

=arrayformula(if(len(A2:A)=0,iferror(1/0),iferror(vlookup(A2:A,Log!B2:C,{1}*sign(row(A2:A)),FALSE))))

And a way to split:

=TRANSPOSE(SPLIT(JOIN("," , Log!C2:C), ",", FALSE))), 1, TRUE)

However, I am struggling to combine the 2, filter for only the data containing unit: and then return the data before the next comma. A copy of the spreadsheet can be found here:


The log shows the raw output from the API. The Summary sheets shows the table I am trying to achieve. What I would like to return in cell B2:B4 is S5,S6,S5 therefore is looking up the latest activity per customer and returning the data following "Unit:" before the next , seperator.

Hopefully that makes sense. Any help would be much appreciated.

Thanks in advance.

Hi Yogi and Ballow. Here's an example of the type of transformation I want to do in a sheet:

https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1ZbsE-B_VQBKHdbhJTLSDn8o8jPOXRQHFC9RtF9y4cFI/edit?usp=sharing
Conceptually I don't think it's that complicated. It is worth noting that I'm not really interested in a solution that involves lots of repetition for each row, because there could be an arbitrary number of rows. I can do this fine outside of Google Sheets (in Python) but I was wondering if it's possible without leaving sheets for the classroom setting. If not, no need to stress :-)

If you are interested I want to turn the rows of data into an edge list that I can then visualize as a graph in Google Fusion Tables.

I'm trying to create a sheet for shared expenses and am want to break down the expense by those involved.  I would like to have the following results.


Column F
If column E contains "WDG" then column F = column D/3
If column E contains "WD" then column F = column D/2
If column E contains "WG" then column F = column D/2

Column G
If column E contains "WDG" then column G = column D/3
If column E contains "WD" then column G = column D/2
If column E contains "WG" then column G = blank

Column H
If column E contains "WDG" then column H = column D/3
If column E contains "WD" then column H = blank
If column E contains "WG" then column H = column D/2

I would also like for the total row to float down as I add expenses.

Don't know if I am using the correct function.

Using COUNTIF and wildcards for cells with commas and similar words

I'm trying to create a form to tally the drop rate of shards for this game I'm playing.  I wanted to see if some shards had a higher/lower drop rate than others.  To count the individual shards per difficulty, I've been using =countif(range, "*shard name*") and that has worked well.  

Unfortunately, two of the shards have the same first word "Piercing" and "Piercing Power" so when I use the above code to count "Piercing" it gives me the total for both of them. Is there anyway to differentiate the two different shards?  Can I somehow include the comma in the criterion?

Here's a sample spreadsheet

Comparing Two Columns and Returning in Third
Hi,

I have a question about how to write a formula that compares two columns (i.e. Column A and B) of string data and returns the string data in the third column where if the data is matched BETWEEN A and B, ignore it but if they show up in A and not B and show up in B but not A, I'd like those strings returned. 

Is this possible to do it in 1 column or maybe even 2 at max? Thanks!

yogi_Operate On Entries Made As Decimals Or Fractions (google sheet does not recognize entries made as fractions as numbers)

Google Spreadsheet   Post  #2143
Yogi Anand, D.Eng, P.E.      ANAND Enterprises LLC -- Rochester Hills MI     www.energyefficientbuild.com.   Apr-05-2017
I'm trying to create a spreadsheet that will help me generate a list of dimensions to build things to. What I need to do is be able to type a fraction in one cell and have it calculate a dimension into another cell. I have the calculation set up and works great when inputting numbers using decimals but does not work at all using fractions. Most of my inputs are in fractions to the 1/16" and sometimes 1/32" so converting them to decimals before putting them in the sheet is just a giant inconvenience. In excel I can input a fraction and it will use the decimal form in the calculation (while still showing the fraction) and it's so easy. Does Google Sheets not convert fractions to decimals for the purpose of calculation?

EX. I need to take off 3/32" from each input that I give. I need to be able to input dimensions such as 5 9/16" or 8 1/4" and have it calculate. Currently I am having to input as 5.5625 or 8.25 respectively and it takes too much time trying to figure out the decimals myself. Basically I would like to put in 5 9/16" and have it automatically convert it. Is this possible?

Google Sheets - Use VLookup/Index-Match to look in array for value

Hi all - 

I'm working on using Google Sheets to create draft software for a recreational sports league. I'm trying to use index/match on an array to do a number of things in the software. I did this in Excel a few years back but can't figure out how to get it to work in Google Sheets. 


And here's the same thing copied:
Round 1Round 2Round 3Round 4Round 5
Player 1Player 9Player 11Player 12Player 14
Player 5Player 10Player 4Player 6Player 15
Player 7Player 3Player 8Player 2Player 13
Round?
Player 1
Player 2
Player 3
Player 4
Player 5
Player 6
Player 7
Player 8
Player 9
Player 10
Player 11
Player 12
Player 13
Player 14
Player 15

I would like to populate Round? (B7:B21) with a formula that looks for the player name (A7:A21) in the array (A2:E4) and returns the Round (A1:E1).

Any ideas welcome. Thanks!
