How to use arrayformula with formulas that do not seem to support arrayformulas?

To achieve the result you’re looking for, you can use BYROW to supply the argument once per array: =BYROW({1;5},LAMBDA(row,INDEX(A2:B16,row,2))) BYROW sends the array argument provided once per row to the function inside LAMBDA. As a general formula, =BYROW(range, LAMBDA(row, your_formula(row))) If you want to send two arguments, use MAP instead. =MAP({1;5},{1;2},LAMBDA(arr_1,arr_2,INDEX(A2:B16,arr_1,arr_2))) This will get row … Read more

How to list all permutations without repetition?

The limitations described below are because of lambda functions. The first solution can be successfully implemented without lambda: =ARRAYFORMULA(QUERY(BASE(SEQUENCE(PERMUTATIONA(7,7)),7,7),”where not Col1 matches ‘.*((“&JOIN(“)|(“,SEQUENCE(7,1,0)&”.*”&SEQUENCE(7,1,0))&”)).*'”,0)) The trick here is to use regex to find unique elements using query…match. The only problem with this is memory size needed will exceed 10 million for 8 items PERMUTATIONA(8,8). But that … Read more

What factors determine the memory used in lambda functions?

Download link for Google Spreadsheets CSV export – with Multiple Sheets

Every document in Google Sheets supports the “Chart Tools datasource protocol”, which is explained (in a rather haphazard way) in these articles: “Creating a Chart from a Separate Spreadsheet” “Query Language Reference” “Implementing the Chart Tools Datasource Protocol” To download a specific sheet as a CSV file, replace {key} with the document’s ID and {sheet_name} … Read more

Generate all possible combinations for Columns(cross join or Cartesian product)

in post-pandemic new world we can solve this with: =INDEX(FLATTEN(A2:A3&” “&TRANSPOSE(B2:B4))) to account for future expansion we can do: =INDEX(FLATTEN(FILTER(A2:A; A2:A<>””)&” “&TRANSPOSE(FILTER(B2:B; B2:B<>””)))) for 3 columns: =INDEX(FLATTEN(FLATTEN( FILTER(A2:A; A2:A<>””)&” “&TRANSPOSE( FILTER(B2:B; B2:B<>””)))&” “&TRANSPOSE( FILTER(C2:C; C2:C<>””)))) 4 columns: =INDEX(FLATTEN(FLATTEN(FLATTEN( FILTER(A2:A; A2:A<>””)&” “&TRANSPOSE( FILTER(B2:B; B2:B<>””)))&” “&TRANSPOSE( FILTER(C2:C; C2:C<>””)))&” “&TRANSPOSE( FILTER(D2:D; D2:D<>””)))) for more see: https://stackoverflow.com/a/74160711/5632629

Repeat whole row N times based on column value in Google Sheets

Give a try on below formula- =INDEX(SPLIT(FLATTEN(SPLIT(JOIN(“”,INDEX(REPT(BYROW(A2:D3,LAMBDA(x,TEXTJOIN(“|”,0,x)))&”@”,E2:E3))),”@”)),”|”)) To make it dynamic spill array, use- =INDEX(SPLIT(FLATTEN(SPLIT(JOIN(“”,INDEX(REPT(BYROW(A2:INDEX(D2:D,MATCH(“zzz”,D2:D)),LAMBDA(x,TEXTJOIN(“|”,0,x)))&”@”,E2:INDEX(E2:E,MATCH(9^9,E2:E))))),”@”)),”|”))
