When I fill down with formula starting with, say, =A9, it will auto fill with =A10, =A11, A=12, in incrementing order. But I want it to fill down in reverse order as =A8, =A7, =A6, how do I do that? In Excel, I can select 2 cells, =A10 and =A9, Excel will know to fill in reverse order.
You could use the SEQUENCE function within the formula
=SEQUENCE(7,1,11,-1)
or even as
=SEQUENCE(7,1,11,-1)
EDIT
If you need to reverse the order of already existing values in cells you can use:
=SORT(A1:A9,ROW(A1:A9),0)
or even the following to exclude empty rows
=SORT(A1:A9,ROW(A1:A9)*N(A1:A9<>""),0)
try like this:
=SORT(ROW(A:A), 1, 0)
or if you want from 10 to 5
=SORT(ROW(A5:A10), 1, 0)
or to flip the column values:
=SORT(A9:A15, ROW(A9:A15)*N(A9:A15<>""), 0)

How can I find the most commonly found 'Code' (Col B) associated with each unique 'Name' in (Col A) and find the closest value if the 'Code' in Col B is unique?
The image below shows the shared google sheet with Starting data in Columns A & B and the desired output columns in columns C and D. Each Unique Name has associated codes. Column D displays the most commonly occuring Code for each unique name. For example, Buick La Sabre 1 has 3 associated codes in B3,B4,B5 but in D3 only 98761 because it appears more frequently than the other 2 codes do in B2:B. I will explain what I mean by the closest value below.
The Codes that have a count = 1 are unique so the output in column D tries to find the closest match.
However, when the count of the code in B2:B > 1, then the output in column D = to the most frequent code associated with the Name.
Approach when there is 2 or more of the same values in column B
Query
I thought I might use a QUERY with a ORDER BY count(B) DESC LIMIT 2 in a fashion similar to this working equation:
QUERY($A$1:$D$25,"SELECT A, B ORDER BY B DESC Limit 2",1)
but I could not get it to work when I substituted in the Count function.
SORT & INDEX OR VLOOKUP
If the query function can't be fixed to work, then I thought another approach might be to combine a Vlookup/Index after sorting column B in a descending order.
UNIQUE(sort($B$3:$B,if(len($B$3:$B),countif($B$3:$B,$B$3:$B),),0,1,1))
Since a Vlookup or Index using multiple criteria would just pull the first value it finds, you would just end up with the first matching value, we would then get the most frequent value.
Approach when there is < 2 of the same values in column B
This is a little more complicated since the values can be numbers and letters.
A solution like that seen in the image below could be used if everything were a number. In our case there will usually be between 3 - 5 character alphanumeric code starting with 0 - 1 letters numbers and followed by numbers. I'm not sure what the best way to match a code like A1234 would be. I imagine a solution might be to SPLIT off letters and trying to match those first. For example A1234 would be split into A | 1234, then matching the closest letter and then the closest number. But I really am not sure what the best solution to this might be that works within the constraints of Google Sheets.
In the event that a number is equidistant between two numbers, the lower number should be chosen. For example, if 8 is the number and the closest match would be 6 or 10, then 6 should be selected.
In the event that a letter is being used it should work in a similar fashion. For example, thinking of {A, B, C} as {1, 2, 3}, B should preferrentially match to A since it comes before C.
In summary, looking for a way to find the most frequently associated code in col B that is associated with unique names in col A in this sheet and; In the event where there are none of the same codes in B2:B, a formula that will find the closest match for a number or alphanumeric code.
You can use this formula:
=QUERY({range of numerators & denominators}, "select Col2, count(Col2) group by Col2 label Col2 'Denominator', count(Col2) 'Count'")
That outputs something like this:
Denominator
Count
Den 1
Count 1
Den 2
Count 2
use:
=ARRAY_CONSTRAIN(SORTN(QUERY({A3:B},
"select Col1,Col2,count(Col2)
where Col1 is not null
group by Col1,Col2
order by count(Col2) desc,Col2 asc
label count(Col2)''"), 9^9, 2, 1, 1), 9^9, 2)
I have on row one cell A1 = 3, E1=9, I1=4.
If in cell K1 I write: =CONCATENATE(A1:I1) I get 394
But if I try to sort the cells before concatenating them with =CONCATENATE(SORT(A1:I1)) I still get the same result. Why?
This is due to the principle of the SORT function, which sorts rows according to data in columns. It does not sort individual cells. The example in the link explains more.
If you want to get the result that you anticipate, transpose your data and place them: A1=3, A5=9, A9=4
and perform: =CONCATENATE(SORT(A1:A9, 1, TRUE)), which gives you 349.
Or if you need to stick with row, transpose the cells in between. Use your original cell configuration and perform: =CONCATENATE(SORT(TRANSPOSE(A1:I1), 1, TRUE))
Note: Those additional parameters are required according to the SORT function help, however it seems that 1 and TRUE are used by default if they are missing.
is there a (maybe a one (?) formula)-way how to pick all green cells (but only those which has numbers and excluding 0) in a row and put/list them in an array to that coresponding row ??
example: in cell AO1 there will be formula that will list these results:
AO1 = 647
AP1 = 2806
AQ1 = 15490
AR1 = 32105
AS1 = 33808
something like array of constants but constant will be a cell reference... I can only think of a hard way to doing it like make a table/grid of all green cells and then array them, but not sure how could I exlude things from arraying (things like: skip empty cell and skip cell that is "<1" )
edit: in another words: cell AO1: =arrayformula({$p$1;$r$1;$t$1;$v$1;$x$1;$z$1;$ab$1;$ad$1;$af$1;$ah$1;$aj$1;$al$1};and dont array empty and "<1" cells)
If the row are fixed could simply use filter on all the rows
like this : (I used the range you give in your question)
=FILTER(
{$p$1;$r$1;$t$1;$v$1;$x$1;$z$1;$ab$1;$ad$1;$af$1;$ah$1;$aj$1;$al$1};
{$p$1;$r$1;$t$1;$v$1;$x$1;$z$1;$ab$1;$ad$1;$af$1;$ah$1;$aj$1;$al$1}>0)
And for the K and the unique you can add them like this:
=ARRAYFORMULA(UNIQUE(FILTER(
{$p$1;$r$1;$t$1;$v$1;$x$1;$z$1;$ab$1;$ad$1;$af$1;$ah$1;$aj$1;$al$1};
{$p$1;$r$1;$t$1;$v$1;$x$1;$z$1;$ab$1;$ad$1;$af$1;$ah$1;$aj$1;$al$1}>0))&" K")
I have a huge list of items in Column A (1,000 items) and a smaller list of items in Column B (510 items).
I want to put a formula in Column C to show only the Column A items not in Column B.
How to achieve this through a formula, preferably a FILTER formula?
Select the list in column A
Right-Click and select Name a Range...
Enter "ColumnToSearch"
Click cell C1
Enter this formula: =MATCH(B1,ColumnToSearch,0)
Drag the formula down for all items in B
If the formula fails to find a match, it will be marked "#N/A", otherwise it will be a number.
If you'd like it to be TRUE for match and FALSE for no match, use this formula instead:
=ISNUMBER(MATCH(B1,ColumnToSearch,0))
If you'd like to return the unfound value and return empty string for found values
=IF(ISNUMBER(MATCH(B1,ColumnToSearch,0)),"",B1)
Alternative method is simply =
FILTER(A1:A,if(COUNTIF(B1:B,A1:A),0,1))
It's much more efficient.
It uses countif to get a 0 or a 1 as an array if the values in B are in A, then it reverses the 0 and 1 to get the values that are missing instead of only the values that are in there. It then filters based on that.
Columns look like this
A B
1 2
2 5
3
4
5
ARE formulae:
=FILTER(A1:A, MATCH(A1:A, B1:B, 0))
=FILTER(A1:A, COUNTIF(B1:B, A1:A))
ARE NOT formulae:
=FILTER(A1:A, ISNA(MATCH(A1:A, B1:B, 0)))
=FILTER(A1:A, NOT(COUNTIF(B1:B, A1:A)))
in your case:
=FILTER(A1:A; ISNA(MATCH(A:A; B:B; )))

In jqGrid I am trying to use the permutation array for saving the reorder state of the columns.
For eg. Basic column state is perm = [0,1,2,3,4] column 3 is hidden and column 0 is the checkbox. Now I have a custom context menu which I use to finally give me a perm array of [0,1,3,2,4]
I have read in the documentation that the permutation array needs to start with 1, is this right?
When I try using "remapColumns" functions of the jqgrid and pass the perm array, it works fine. But if I try hiding and showing columns a couple of times, the column order is getting messed with.
Please help me understand what these indices for the permutation array stand for? Are they column indexes for visible columns? Should hidden columns be part of array? What happens in case of frozen columns? In some examples I have seen perm = [0:1, 1:3, 2:2, 3:1]
What is the correct way? I am using grid.jqGrid("remapColumns", perm, true);
Try to use also the last parameter of the function
grid.jqGrid("remapColumns", [0,1,3,2,4], true, false);
