This function allows you to create a summary of your data using formula. It supports grouping along row fields and aggregating the associated values. Additionally, it can perform sorting and filtering on grouped data.
Note: GROUPBY is a dynamic array formula, and you need to enable the dynamic array feature in the Workbook.
GROUPBY(row_fields, values, function, [field_headers], [total_depth], [sort_order], [filter_array], [field_relationship])
The function has following arguments.
Argument | Description | Example |
|---|---|---|
row_fields | [Required] A column-oriented array or range containing the values used to group rows and generate row headers. |
|
values | [Required] A column-oriented array or range of the data to aggregate. |
|
function | [Required] The function to summarize the grouped data. |
|
field_headers [optional] | [Optional] A number that specifies whether the row_fields and values have headers and whether field headers should be returned in the results. Options: Missing(default)- assumes data contains headers based on the values argument 0- no 1- yes and don’t show 2- no but generate 3- yes and show | |
total_depth[optional] | [Optional] Determines whether the row headers should contain totals. Options: Missing (default)- Grand totals and, where posible, subtotals 0: No totals 1: Grand Totals 2: Grand and Subtotals | |
sort_order | [Optional] A number indicating how rows should be sorted. Numbers correspond with columns in row_fields followed by the columns in values. If the number is negative, the rows are sorted in descending/reverse order. Missing (default) : Ascending order from A to Z based on the row_fields values. Sorting by multiple columns: Supply a one-dimensional array of numbers corresponding to columns in row_fields followed by the columns in values. | |
filter_array | [Optional] A column-oriented 1D array of Booleans that indicate whether the corresponding row of data should be considered. | =GROUPBY(B:B, E:E, COUNT, , , , G:G > 200) |
field_relationship | [Optional] Specifies the relationship fields when multiple columns are provided to row_fields. Options: 0: Hierarchy (default) - Sorting of later field columns takes into account the hierarchy of earlier columns. 1: Table - Sorting of each field column is done independently. Subtotals are not supported as they rely on the data having a hierarchy. |
The GROUPBY function supports Excel import and export.
