    This is good. I will definitely use this. How do you combine lists that have similar list items and each list also has unique list items into one list without duplicates?

  • @RabiGurungXybernetics

    @RabiGurungXybernetics

    11 ай бұрын

    Good question. I would drop the NOT() function from the example in my video and surround the final function using a UNIQUE() function. The formula would look like this. =UNIQUE(FILTER(A2:A27,COUNTIF(B2:B19,A2:A27))) I hope that helps, let me know if you have further question(s).

    How did you get formulae explanation when you are writing formulae ?

  • @RabiGurungXybernetics

    @RabiGurungXybernetics

    Жыл бұрын

    When you start typing a formula in a cell in Google Sheets, the application will provide you with formula suggestions based on what you've typed so far. Once you select a formula, you'll notice a tooltip that pops up, explaining the syntax of the formula and how to use its parameters. Additionally, if you click on the "fx" button next to the formula bar, a dialog box will appear that allows you to browse all the available formulas in Google Sheets. You can search for a specific formula or browse by category. Once you select a formula, you'll be able to read a detailed explanation of its syntax and usage. I hope this helps!

    @@RabiGurungXybernetics oh yeah, forgot about that. My usual step is Copy everything in one column > condition formatting > filter the duplicates > delete forgot about the function of remove duplicates that it only removes the duplicates and not remove both duplicate names. but I am currently using your formula as a template to check daily biometric logins.
