Detect frozen rows as headers

[Sandro_Brito]

Hey Guys,
I often use two rows for headers, where I use the first row as a header and the row below it to use for formulas, generally arrayformulas to apply to that column.

The problem I often have is when using inline lists, the formula row appears as an empty entry on top of the others in the inline list.

To fix this I often just apply a filter, normally to whatever row ID I am using and filter if it’s not empty. That works except if I want to apply any other filter.

Is there a way to ignore that row without using the filter so I can use the filter with a if then column?

Thank you

Take a look at this method. Maybe this would work for you.

Using ARRAYFORMULA()'s in Row 1 of your Spreadsheet

I can’t take credit for this tip but I just found out about this trick/tip by reading a post here. So the “Normal” way of using an ARRAYFORMULA function is to use it in row 2 of a given column. You just have to be careful not to accidentally deleted it, or have a user delete it. So the next idea was to put it in row 2 but not put any other data in the row and then hide or minimize that row. Basically your data for the non ARRAYFORMULA columns would start on row 3. Then I saw the post I’ll l…

@George_B has an excellent option, but I’ll throw in a second option as I’m big on 2 row headers as well. I add an IF statement that will check if a certain column in a row is empty. If it is, then I display a blank. Blank rows will not show in the inline list.

Arrayformula

Try this in column C2: =arrayformula(IF(LEN(A2:A) = 0, “”, “image url”)) You may need to use “;” instead of “,” depending on the country you live in.
