Formula =COUNTIF(range, value) makes a mistake in my google sheets..It returns 0, but the value that it fails to find within the range actually exists in that range. I checked simply with Ctrl + F command. I wonder why that happens? What could be the reason? Cell formatting?
Please, see screenshot enclosed. Cell "B 3520" returns 0, but in the upper right corner you see "2 of 2", and that 2nd one is within the given range.
delete your formulae in B column and try (in row 1):
=INDEX(COUNTIF(A:A; A:A))

I have text datatype in a table column [Items], which always ends in a number:
Item 1
Item 3
Using a find formula in a calculated column works if I use text:
=FIND(" ",[Items])
But doesn't work if I use a number:
=FIND("1",[Items])
I have tried using FORMAT(1,"string"), tried looking for the number with and without quotes etc. I tried looking for " 1" with the space but nothing works if I include the number 1 in my formula.
Why not!? This type of behaviour isn't exhibited in Excel so makes it even more frustrating.
i think that you need to pass an argument for what it should return when it doesn't find anything:
=FIND("1",[items],1,-1)
I'm trying to find a way to see if I can find a way to determine if a time that I stipulate falls between two other times. For example:
Start End
11:33:48 11:53:48
12:20:22 12:38:21
12:39:27 13:00:09
14:16:23 14:20:49
14:20:54 14:22:56
Then, I want to check if a cell (here the value of 12:50 in cell E30) falls between ANY two values in a range in THE SAME ROW. For me, I can get the obvious way to check for this in one row, and this simple version totally works:
=If(AND(E30>A4,E30<B4), "TRUE", "FALSE")
However, I want to check if that number falls within ANY of the values within the ROWS above cells in a range, and I can't get that to work. For example, I tried this and it didn't work:
=If(AND(E30>A:A,E30<B:B), "TRUE", "FALSE")
I also tried a simple countif variation but that didn't do it either:
=COUNTIFS(A:A,">"&E30,B:B,"<"&E30)
Any advice on how to adjust one of these formulas to get it to work?
Try switching the angle brackets around:
=COUNTIFS(A:A,"<"&E30,B:B,">"&E30)
I think this should work for the above data set -
=IF((FILTER(A2:B6, D2>A2:A6,D2<B2:B6)),TRUE,FALSE)
This will give you if there is any match or not.
For the number of rows count that match -
=ROWS((FILTER(A2:B6, D2>A2:A6,D2<B2:B6)))
Alomsot =IF(Q2>R2,IF(AND($X$16>HOUR(Q2),$X$16<(HOUR(R2)+12)),1,0),IF(AND(HOUR($X$14)>=HOUR(Q2),HOUR($X$14)<=HOUR(R2)),1,0))
This formula works well to return a random traveldestination1 value if it does find a match for C1 in the moderange range. It goes to #N/A otherwise:
=IF(MATCH(C1,moderange1,0),INDEX(traveldesination1,RANDBETWEEN(1,COUNTA(traveldesination1))),"nope")
How can I improve the formula to search another moderange range (non-adjacent) if a match for C1 is not found in moderange1 (it returns #N/A) (or moderange2 or moderange3 etc...)? It never actually gets to the point of displaying “nope” in this current formula so any code I add there doesn’t get used.
If it doesn't find a match in moderange1, I want it to search moderange2 and if it finds a match there, it should pick a random from traveldestination2 and so on.
I've managed to figure it out! - using nested IFNA conditions did the trick:
=ifna(ifna(ifna(code as above),next range's code, next range's code),"not found")
I need to split a tag that looks something like "B1/AHU/_1/RoomTemp", "B1/AHU/_1/109/Temp", so with a variable with a variable number of fields. I am interested in getting the last field, or sometimes the last but one. I was disappointed to find that negative indexes do not count from the right and allow me to select the last element of an array in Hive as they do in Python.
select tag,split(tag,'[/]')[ -1] from sensor
I was more surprised when this did not work either:
select tag,split(tag,'[/]')[ size(split(tag,'[\]'))-1 ] from sensor
Both times giving me an error along the lines of this:
FAILED: SemanticException 1:27 Non-constant expressions for array indexes not supported.
Error encountered near token '1'
So any ideas? I am kind of new to Hive. Regex's maybe? Or is there some syntactic sugar I am not aware of?
This question is getting a lot of views (over a thousand now), so I think it needs a proper answer. In the event I solved it with this:
select tag,reverse(split(reverse(tag),'[/]')[0]) from sensor
which is not actually stated in the other suggested answers - I got the idea from a suggestion in the comments.
This:
reverses the string (so "abcd/efgh" is now "hgfe/dcba")
splits it on "/" into an array (so we have "hgfe" and "dcba")
extracts the first element (which is "hgfe")
then finally re-reverses (giving us the desired "efgh")
Also note that the second-to-last element can be retrieved by substituting 1 for the 0, and so on for the others.
There is a great library of Hive UDFs here. One of them is LastIndexUDF(). It's pretty self-explainatory, it retrieves the last element of an array. There are instructions to build and use the jar on the main page. Hope this helps.
This seem to work for me, this returns the last element from the SPLIT array
SELECT SPLIT(INPUT__FILE__NAME,'/')[SIZE(SPLIT(INPUT__FILE__NAME,'/')) -1 ] from test_table limit 10;
After reading the LanguageManual UDF a while, I luckily found the function substring_index exactly meets your requirement, dosen't need any additional calculations at all.
The manual says:
substring_index(string A, string delim, int count) returns the substring from string A before count occurrences of the delimiter delim (as of Hive 1.3.0). If count is positive, everything to the left of the final delimiter (counting from the left) is returned. If count is negative, everything to the right of the final delimiter (counting from the right) is returned. Substring_index performs a case-sensitive match when searching for delim. Example: substring_index('www.apache.org', '.', 2) = 'www.apache'.
Use cases:
SELECT SUBSTRING_INDEX('www.mysql.com', '.', 2);
--www.mysql
SELECT SUBSTRING_INDEX('www.mysql.com', '.', -1);
--com

I'm currently struggling on finding the formula that will resolve my problem.
Here's the status quo:
In Sheet 1, column A, I have a set of string, such as:
/search.action?gender=men&brand=10177&tag=10203&tag=10336
/search.action?gender=women&brand=11579&tag=10001&tag=10138
/search.action?gender=men&brand=12815&tag=10203&tag=10299
/search.action?gender=women&brand=1396&tag=10203&tag=10513
/search.action?gender=women&brand=11&tag=10001&tag=10073
/search.action?gender=women&brand=1396&tag=10203&tag=10336
/search.action?gender=women&brand=13
In Sheet 2, column A, I have a set of strings such as:
brand=10177
brand=12815
brand=13
brand=1396
brand=11579
Finally, in sheet 1, column B will be my "filter" with the formula I'm struggling to find. The goal of my formula is to detect in any of the strings in sheet 1 if one of the string in sheet 2 is present (as an exact match!). Indeed, now it only finds approximative matches. As you can see, the row 5 shouldn't return anything. But with my current formula it does.
Here's the formula:
{=IFERROR(INDEX('Sheet 2'!$A$1:$A$5;MATCH(1;COUNTIF(A1;"*"&'Sheet 2'!$A$1:$A$5&"*");0));"")}
Any idea on the matter?
Please note that I don't want to use VBA, macros, but only a formula.
Thanks a lot for your help!
Following will solve your problem I guess:
=VLOOKUP(MID(A2,FIND("&",A2)+1,FIND("&",A2,FIND("&",A2)+1)-FIND("&",A2)-1),Sheet2!A:A,1,FALSE)
Basically with find function I have identified the start and length of the string in between "&" signs. and used in vlookup.
Another point to mention is this formula is only looking for the first 2 "&" signs.
For completeness, here is another solution based on this answer
=INDEX(Sheet2!$A$1:$A$5,MAX(IF(ISERROR(FIND(Sheet2!$A$1:$A$5,A1)),-1,1)*(ROW(Sheet2!$A$1:$A$5)-ROW(Sheet2!$A$1)+1)))
This is a bit more general and it doesn't matter how many search tags there are.
However as it stands it would match brand=13 in the second sheet with brand=1396 in the first sheet. To avoid that you could add an ampersand to the search strings:-
=INDEX(Sheet2!$A$1:$A$5,MAX(IF(ISERROR(FIND(Sheet2!$A$1:$A$5&"&",A1&"&")),-1,1)*(ROW(Sheet2!$A$1:$A$5)-ROW(Sheet2!$A$1)+1)))
This formula throws a #VALUE error if there is no match: to avoid this, you would need to put an IFERROR statement round it:-
=IFERROR(INDEX(Sheet2!$A$1:$A$5,MAX(IF(ISERROR(FIND(Sheet2!$A$1:$A$5&"&",A1&"&")),-1,1)*(ROW(Sheet2!$A$1:$A$5)-ROW(Sheet2!$A$1)+1))),"")
All these are array formulae.
