I don't know if anyone will find this useful, but here's something I learned literally this weekend.
Sort rows/cells into groups based on the value of a cell.
=FILTER(Stories!B2:D13,Stories!F2:F13=A2)
First parameter, "Stories!B2:D13" is a group of cells showing some stories.
Second parameter, "Stories!F2:F13=A2" is the column where each cell is compared to the value of A2. Rows that match are then copied into wherever the =FILTER formula is placed.
I use it to take a list of Stories and sorts them into Sprints automatically. That's useful for program increment planning, etc.
The other useful Excel thing I learned recently is:
=IF(NOT(ISBLANK(A2)),HYPERLINK("https://jira-instance.atlassian.net/browse/PROJECT-"&A2,"PROJECT-"&A2),"")
That says: If the cell A2 is not blank, append its value onto the url given, and show that as a link with the text PROJECT- with the value of A2 appended.
I know I should have probably done something cooler with Emacs and org-mode, but I have to share it with a lot of business folks.
If by some chance either of those are useful to you, I hope they work OK for you :)
- layman51 3y agoThanks, I really find these examples useful. For me, the QUERY function in Google Sheets has been really useful too. Same thing with IMPORTRANGE. It really helps with documenting what you did to get a count of rows.
- bloopernova 3y agoI'm glad you found them useful, thank you for letting me know!
- fsckboy 3y agowhat is a "story" in a spreadsheet?
- codetrotter 3y ago> take a list of Stories and sorts them into Sprints automatically From this part it sounds to me that they are talking about a spreadsheet they have relating to Agile development
- bloopernova 3y agoYou're exactly right, thank you for helping the commenter who asked about it.
