Using comparators in google sheets countif within an arrayfunction
I have a sheets formula that presently looks like this:
=ARRAYFORMULA(IF(ROW(J:J)=1,"eduProjects",IF($A:$A="",,
COUNTIF(Projects!$B:$B&Projects!$R:$R&Projects!$S:$S,$A:$A&"Education"&0)+
COUNTIF(Projects!$B:$B&Projects!$R:$R&Projects!$S:$S,$A:$A&"Education"&1)+
COUNTIF(Projects!$B:$B&Projects!$R:$R&Projects!$S:$S,$A:$A&"Education"&2)+
COUNTIF(Projects!$B:$B&Projects!$R:$R&Projects!$S:$S,$A:$A&"Education"&3)+
COUNTIF(Projects!$B:$B&Projects!$R:$R&Projects!$S:$S,$A:$A&"Education"&4)+
COUNTIF(Projects!$B:$B&Projects!$R:$R&Projects!$S:$S,$A:$A&"Education"&5)+
COUNTIF(Projects!$B:$B&Projects!$R:$R&Projects!$S:$S,$A:$A&"Education"&6)+
COUNTIF(Projects!$B:$B&Projects!$R:$R&Projects!$S:$S,$A:$A&"Education"&7)+
COUNTIF(Projects!$B:$B&Projects!$R:$R&Projects!$S:$S,$A:$A&"Education"&8)+
COUNTIF(Projects!$B:$B&Projects!$R:$R&Projects!$S:$S,$A:$A&"Education"&9)+
COUNTIF(Projects!$B:$B&Projects!$R:$R&Projects!$S:$S,$A:$A&"Education"&10)+
COUNTIF(Projects!$B:$B&Projects!$R:$R&Projects!$S:$S,$A:$A&"Education"&11)+
COUNTIF(Projects!$B:$B&Projects!$R:$R&Projects!$S:$S,$A:$A&"Education"&12)+
COUNTIF(Projects!$B:$B&Projects!$R:$R&Projects!$S:$S,$A:$A&"Education"&13)+
COUNTIF(Projects!$B:$B&Projects!$R:$R&Projects!$S:$S,$A:$A&"Education"&14)+
COUNTIF(Projects!$B:$B&Projects!$R:$R&Projects!$S:$S,$A:$A&"Education"&15)+
COUNTIF(Projects!$B:$B&Projects!$R:$R&Projects!$S:$S,$A:$A&"Education"&16)+
COUNTIF(Projects!$B:$B&Projects!$R:$R&Projects!$S:$S,$A:$A&"Education"&17)+
COUNTIF(Projects!$B:$B&Projects!$R:$R&Projects!$S:$S,$A:$A&"Education"&18))))
I'm trying to simplify this by using a comparator "<19" in place of all the numbers 0 to 18
=ARRAYFORMULA(IF(ROW(L:L)=1,"eduProjects",IF($A:$A="",,
COUNTIF(Projects!$B:$B&Projects!$R:$R&Projects!$S:$S,$A:$A&"Education"&"<19"))))
Unfortunately, this doesn't seem to work in an array. Any ideas how I can simplify this formula?
Solution
Your formula:
COUNTIF(Projects!$B:$B&Projects!$R:$R&Projects!$S:$S,$A:$A&"Education"&"<19")
- Countif() criterion basically becomes a concatenated string of
column A+Education+<19.
If my understanding is correct that Projects!$S:$S should contains a number value since you concatenate it with Projects!$B:$B & Projects!$R:$R and tried to compare it with $A:$A&"Education"&0 concatenated string value.
Then you can use COUNTIFS() to simplify your formula:
=ARRAYFORMULA(IF(ROW(L:L)=1,"eduProjects",IF($A:$A="",,
COUNTIFS(Projects!$B:$B&Projects!$R:$R,$A:$A&"Education",Projects!$S:$S,"<19"))))
- Check concatenated
Projects!$B:$B&Projects!$R:$Rif it matches concatenated$A:$A&"Education". - Check if
Projects!$S:$Sis<19
Output:
(B1 contains your original formula, while E1 contains the simplified formula)
