Cannot properly array googlefinance formula with dates - date

I am trying to convert money amounts in USD to EUR, but I want to do it in relation to date of transaction taking place due to dyncamic exchange rates.
Idea is to use googlefinance function with index function, along with date function, which will be made of right, mid, and left functions. All of that should be wrapped with arrayformula. Numbers should be rounded using round.
Non-working example:
Don't mind ;, this is instead of , in my google sheets language settings.
Formula: =ARRAYFORMULA(IF(B2:B="";"";ROUND(INDEX(B2:B*GOOGLEFINANCE("CURRENCY:USDEUR";"price";DATE(RIGHT(A2:A;4);MID(A2:A;4;2);LEFT(A2:A;2)));2;2);2)))
Formula (with , instead of ;):
=ARRAYFORMULA(IF(B2:B="","",ROUND(INDEX(B2:B*GOOGLEFINANCE("CURRENCY:USDEUR","price",DATE(RIGHT(A2:A,4),MID(A2:A,4,2),LEFT(A2:A,2))),2,2),2)))
Since I'm pretty sure this formula should work in "normal circumstances", I've replicated it leaving out arrayformula, and full ranges (such as B2:B, etc), and it works once I drag down the formula.
Working example:
Formula: =IF(F2="";"";ROUND(INDEX(F2*GOOGLEFINANCE("CURRENCY:USDEUR";"price";DATE(RIGHT(E2;4);MID(E2;4;2);LEFT(E2;2)));2;2);2))
Formula (with , instead of ;):
=IF(F2="","",ROUND(INDEX(F2*GOOGLEFINANCE("CURRENCY:USDEUR","price",DATE(RIGHT(E2,4),MID(E2,4,2),LEFT(E2,2))),2,2),2))
Does anyone have idea what's going on with the first case, i.e. why it doesn't work? I believe it has to be something with those full ranges (e.g. B2:B, A2:B, etc), but not sure why...

GOOGLEFINANCE is already an ARRAYFORMULA type formula so try like this:
=ARRAYFORMULA(IF(B2:B="";;ROUND(B2:B*IFNA(VLOOKUP(A2:A+0,9986111111;
GOOGLEFINANCE("CURRENCY:USDEUR"; "price"; MIN(A2:A); MAX(A2:A)+1); 2; 1)); 2)))

Why is Arrayformula returning only the first row

Update: sample sheet provided here: https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1BapXdaVOUL634SstNJXqYNocsD_EvvtlbJ77vlElmZs/edit?usp=drivesdk. Any help will be appreciated!
Hi fellow nerds.
I'm trying to make the current column (most recent interaction date with client) display the max values (most recent dates) from ContactLog!b:b (dates of all recorded interactions), when the client name in ContactLog!A:A matches to the client name in current row column A.
After many days of trying, I've found several formulas to successfully achieve this result for the current cell only.
=MAXIFS(ContactLog!B:B, ContactLog!A:A, A:A)
=MAX(FILTER(ContactLog!B4:B, ContactLog!A4:A=VLOOKUP(A2, ContactLog!A4:B, 1, FALSE)))
=MAX(QUERY(ContactLog!A4:B, ""SELECT B WHERE A = '""&VLOOKUP(A2, ContactLog!A4:B, 1, FALSE)&""'"", 0))
=IF(COUNTIF(ContactLog!A:A, A2),MAX(FILTER(ContactLog!B:B, ContactLog!A:A = A2)),"")
But none of these seem to work with arrayformula, to spread to the entire column. I'd like this result to apply automatically to the entire column (wherever column A is not blank).
It's displaying the correct max value for the first cell (in which the formula is written), and I could drag the formula down, but not spreading automatically as an array.
I've tried using =match with =filter, but that keeps running into mismatched range row sizes. (I've previously solved that by using filter within a filter, but can't figure that out here).
[I have a similar issue for the nearby columns also, "most recent interaction method", and "reminders & goals". The formula there is:
=INDEX(ContactLog!C:C, MATCH(MAX(IF(ContactLog!A:A=A2, IF(ContactLog!B:B=MAX(IF(ContactLog!A:A=A2, ContactLog!B:B)), ROW(ContactLog!B:B)))), ROW(ContactLog!B:B), 0))
And
=IFERROR(CONCATENATE(JOIN(" • ",FILTER(ContactLog!D:D,ContactLog!A:A=A2, ContactLog!D:D<>"")),IF(INDEX(ContactLog!D:D,MAX(IF(ContactLog!A:A=A2,ROW(ContactLog!D:D))))="","","")),"")
They both work great, but I can't get them to work with arrayformula...]
What am I missing?
You can do something like this with BYROW, that allows you to expand your formula through the column and be calculated "row by row". Using your first option:
=BYROW(A:A, LAMBDA (each,IF(each="","",MAXIFS(ContactLog!B:B, ContactLog!A:A, each))))

Smartsheet function is UNPARSEABLE

On the Sheet Summary I'm trying to write a function that will track Past Due tasks below is the format :
=COUNTIF([Is Past Due?]:[Is Past Due?], "Yes")
The formula doesn't work as it says "UNPARSEABLE". Below is the Past Due column name
The UNPARSEABLE error in Smartsheet happens when, the formula has a problem which prevents it from being parsed and interpreted.
Example:
-misspelling
-incomplete operators
-using the wrong case for a column name
-using single quotes instead of double quotes
Maybe, you have to review the syntax of the function COUNTIF, and make sure to use acceptable operators, follow this link for more information about the function
---Syntax---
COUNTIF( range,criterion )
range
— The group of cells to count.
criterion
— The value that determines which cells in the range will be counted.
I hope this information can be useful for you.

How do I prevent users to use thousands separator in FileMaker Pro?

In FileMaker Pro, when using number field, the user can choose to use a thousand separator or not. For example, if I have a database with a field for the price of an item, the user can either enter 1,000 or 1000.
I am using my database to generate an XML file that needs to be uploaded. The thing is, that my XML scheme dictates that only a value of 1000 is allowed and not 1,000. Therefore, I want to either automatically remove the comma, or (my preference in this case) alert the user when trying to enter a value with a thousand separator.
What I tried is the following.
For the field, I am setting Validation options. For example:
Require Strict data type: Numeric Only
Validated by calculation: Position ( Self ; ","; 1 ; 1 ) = 0
Validated by calculation: Self = Substitue ( Self, ",", "")
Auto-enter calculation: Filter( Self ; "0123456789." )
Unfortunately, none of these work. As the field is defined as a number (and I want to keep it like this, as I am also performing calculations based on this number), the Position function and the Substitute function apparently ignore the thousand separator!
EDIT:
Note that I am generating my XML by concatenating a string, for example:
"<Products><Product><Name>" & Name & "</Name><Price>" & Price & "</Price></Product></Product>"
The reason is that what I am exporting is dependent on the values in my database. Therefore, I am not using the [File][Export records...] function.
Auto-enter calculation will work, but you need to uncheck the box "Do not replace existing value of field" (which is checked by default).
I'd suggest using the calculation GetAsNumber(self) as the auto-enter calc. If it should only contain integers, wrap that in a call to Int()
I am using my database to generate an XML file that needs to be uploaded. The thing is, that my XML scheme dictates that only a value of 1000 is allowed and not 1,000.
If this is only a problem when you export, why not handle it when exporting?
If you are exporting as XML using XSLT, you can add an instruction to
your stylesheet to remove the comma from all number fields;
Alternatively, you can export from a layout where the field is
formatted to display without the comma and select the Apply current's layout data formatting to exported data option when
exporting.
Added:
Perhaps I should have clarified. I am not using the export function to generate the XML as there is some logic involved in how the XML should be formatted (dependent on the data that I want to export). What I do instead is that I make a string where I combine XML-tags and actual values from the database.
IMHO, you're making a mistake by not taking advantage of the built-in XML/XSLT export option. Any imaginable logic can be implemented this way, without burdening your solution with the fragile task of creating a valid XML.
In any case, if you're using the field in a calculation, you can replace all references to it with:
GetAsNumber (YourField )
to get an unformatted, numeric-only, value.
Your question puzzles me. As far as I know, FileMaker does not store the thousands separator, but rather offers it only as a display option.
That's also why those functions can't find it.
Are you sure you are exporting the raw data and not a "formatted as layout" variant?

How to reach the end of a chain of cells

I have a file with two sheets:
sheet_A
A B
1 Mr. Joe USD
sheet_B
A B
1 =sheet_A.A1 ???
sheet_B.B1 shall show the value USD. I know i could get it easily with =sheet_A.B1 but I do not want that.
If I enter into sheet_B.B1 =ADDRESS(ROW();COLUMN()-1) I get the output $C$1 and with =INDIRECT(ADDRESS(ROW();COLUMN()-1)) Mr. Joe.
How can I "navigate" through a chain sheet_B.B1 - sheet_B.A1 - sheet_A.A1 - sheet_A.B1?
Edit 1
Maybe I need something like this
=OFFSET(FORMULA(ADDRESS(ROW();COLUMN()-1);0;1)#
sheet_B.B2 shall show the content of sheet_A.B2 in relation of the value in sheet_B.A1
Here are two possibilities. Either formula produces USD in sheet_B.B1.
=INDIRECT(ADDRESS(ROW();COLUMN();;;"sheet_A"))
=VLOOKUP(A1;$sheet_A.A1:B1;2)
Documentation: ADDRESS, VLOOKUP.
EDIT:
One more idea: The following produces the string "=sheet_A.A1", which could be parsed for the sheet name and cell address. Perhaps you would like to use it to refer to sheet_A.B1.
=FORMULA(INDIRECT(ADDRESS(ROW();COLUMN()-1)))
However, as I commented, there is probably an easier way for what you are trying to accomplish.
Documentation: FORMULA.
EDIT 2:
Here is the formula you requested. It uses REPLACE to remove = at the beginning of the string.
=OFFSET(INDIRECT(REPLACE(FORMULA(INDIRECT(ADDRESS(ROW();COLUMN()-1)));1;1;""));0;1)

How to convert "like each" into a functional form?

Let's say I have a column of a table whose data type is a character array. I want to pass in a functional select where clause, where the column is in a list of given strings. However, I cannot simply use (in; `col; myList) for reasons. Instead, I need to do the equivalent of:
max col like/: myList
which effectively gives the same result. However, I have tried to put this in functional form
(max; (like/:; `col; myList))
And I am getting a type error. Any ideas on how I could make this work?
A nice trick when dealing with this problem is using parse on a string of the select statement you want to functionalize. For example:
q)parse"select from t where max col like/: myList"
?
`t
,,(max;((/:;like);`col;`myList))
0b
()
Or specifically in your case you want the 3rd element of the result list (the where clause):
q)(parse"select from t where max col like/: myList")2
max ((/:;like);`col;`myList)
I even think using this pattern in your actual code can be a good idea, as functionalized statements like max ((/:;like);`col;`myList) can get pretty unreadable pretty quickly!
Hope that helps!
(any; ((/:;like); `col; enlist,myList))
it should be: (max;((/:;like);`col;`mylist))
