I need to find the first value in a column range. I've previously had help to find the last value in a column range, such as:
=INDEX(E4:E188, MATCH(999^99, (E4:E188)))
However I haven't figured out how to convert the above formula to return the first value instead. Any suggestions would be appreciated.
Although I'm not sure whether I could correctly understand your expected result, how about the following sample formula?
Sample formula:
=INDEX(FILTER(E4:E188,E4:E188),1)

I expect to spit number and dot based on some columns into one column as shown in picture.
I want to use query but I am difficult to find best formula.
The picture with green color below is what I expected to.
Thank for assistance.
If you're only going to have one name per timestamp row, a simple approach would be:
=arrayformula({"Name";if(A2:A<>"",regexextract({D2:D&E2:E&F2:F},"\d\.\ (.*)"),)})
I'm using Google Sheets and would like to get the last value in column when it is filtered based on the values in a separate column as shown in the screenshot:
I'd like to get the last value from column A, where the value in column B matches that specified in cell D1.
I've managed to do this with the following:
=INDEX(FILTER($A:$A,$B,$B=$D$1),COUNTA(FILTER($A:$A,$B:$B-$D$1)),1)
This works but it seems unnecessary to have the second FILTER and COUNTA as it makes it harder to understand. Is there no way I can just return the last value from the FILTER function?
Since posting this I've found another way that's more concise, but I have to confess I don't actually understand how it works:
=ArrayFormula(LOOKUP(2,1/($B:$B=$D$1),$A:$A))
Here you will know about sort and array_Constrain:
=array_constrain(filter(sort({A1:A,row(A1:A)},2,false),B1:B=D1),1,1)
or you can use query:
=query(filter({A1:A,row(A1:A)},B1:B=D1),"Select Col1 order by Col2 desc limit 1")
or you can use indirect:
=indirect("A" & max(filter(row(A:A),B:B=D1)))
I know this is a way that I do that sometimes. it takes advantage of the VLOOKUP(....TRUE) [default] option.
=VLOOKUP(9^99,FILTER({ROW(A:A),A:A},B:B=D1),2)
I just wanted to know is there a feature in parse to get the SUM of the column value. I read in the link https://www.parse.com/questions/how-to-make-sum-of-column-value that this feature is not supported through query we need to use cloud code. Is this the same till now? Any updates on this?
In OpenOffice Calc, I'm trying to select the numerical value of a random cell at a time, from the range H3:AF21.
I have tried the INDEX function and it does't seem to work, I get errors no matter what I choose, except if it's a single cell. Can anyone help?
Try whether the following formula fulfills your requirements.
=INDEX(H3:AF21,INT(RAND()*19)+1,INT(RAND()*25)+1)

I'm building a report where I have a subreport. This subreport brings some data through XPath, this means it's everything strings from a XML. One of the columns of this subreport has some values, where I need do sum them and show in the end of the table.
I don't know how to put this to work. I've tried to create a variable with sum parameter, but it does not work.
Did anybody need this before?
Scenario:
I load a lot of values from a XPath query, e.g:
/something/something1/something2
This query returns some fields according to my needs. With them I build a table (in a subreport). The problem is: the last column (4), values are strings from XML.
iReport version: 3.0.0
Really thanks!
Solution:
What I needed? According to the original post, a column with strings read from a XML through XPath and a footer with the sum.
Result from column SUM
What to do? Create a variable where you'll keep your sum. After created, edit it. e.g:enter image description here
Fill variable expression with the format you need. Here I used
new BigDecimal($F{theFieldToSum});
Click ok. Now the variable is created, you must create a new TextField where you'll show your sum. Create it and edit it. Here I used the following format:
new java.text.DecimalFormat("#,##0.00").format($V{theVariableYouCreatedBefore})
Click "Apply" and that's all. Compile your report and now you'll have the expected result. For sure, you can do some adapt, but in general this is the process.
