I am trying to write a formula where it will look for 8100, 8110, 8120, 8122, 8124, 8251, 8315, 8380 in one column (L) WHILE column (AA) needs to have either 0,1,2,3,4 then it should display "home". This is what I have so far
=IF(OR(L5="8100",L5="8110",L5="8120",L5="8122",L5="8124",L5="8251",L5="8315",L5="8380",AND(OR(AA5="0",AA5="1",AA5="2",AA5="3",AA5="4"),"HOME","NOT HOME"))
I need help implementing col (AA) with 0,1,2,3,4 filter.
so in the end for eg. if column (L) has 8100 AND col (AA) has 0 it should display "home", if it doesn't meet any one of those criteria it should display "not home". Hope my explanation makes sense any help is appreciated.
You need to move the AND to encompass both ORs, since AND is a standard function that requires two arguments. A formula like the following should work correctly:
=IF(AND(OR(L5="8100",L5="8110",L5="8120",L5="8122",L5="8124",L5="8251",L5="8315",L5="8380"),(OR(AA5="0",AA5="1",AA5="2",AA5="3",AA5="4"))),"HOME","NOT HOME").
Note that if you're working with numbers that aren't stored as text, you should remove the quotes, like so:
=IF(AND(OR(L5=8100,L5=8110,L5=8120,L5=8122,L5=8124,L5=8251,L5=8315,L5=8380),(OR(AA5=0,AA5=1,AA5=2,AA5=3,AA5=4))),"HOME","NOT HOME")
This should be possible to achieve with VLOOKUP.
Even better if that's the case look into the MATCH and INDEX combination: https://exceljet.net/articles/index-and-match

I'd need to split or extract only numbers made of 8 digits from a string in Google Sheets.
I've tried with SPLIT or REGEXREPLACE but I can't find a way to get only the numbers of that length, I only get all the numbers in the string!
For example I'm using
=SPLIT(lower(N2),"qwertyuiopasdfghjklzxcvbnm`-=[]\;' ,./!:##$%^&*()")
but I get all the numbers while I only need 8 digits numbers.
This may be a test value:
00150412632BBHBBLD 12458 32354 1312548896 ACT inv 62345471
I only need to extract "62345471" and nothing else!
Could you please help me out?
Many thanks!
Please use the following formula for a single cell.
Drag it down for more cells.
=INDEX(TRANSPOSE(QUERY(TRANSPOSE(IF(LEN(SPLIT(REGEXREPLACE(A2&" ","\D+"," ")," "))=8,
SPLIT(REGEXREPLACE(A2&" ","\D+"," ")," "),"")),"where Col1 is not null ",0)))
Functions used:
QUERY
INDEX
TRANSPOSE
IF
LEN
SPLIT
REGEXREPLACE
If you only need to do this for one cell (or you have your heart set on dragging the formula down into individual cells), use the following formula:
=REGEXEXTRACT(" "&N2&" ","\s(\d{8})\s")
However, I suspect you want to process the eight-digit number out of all cells running N2:N. If that is the case, clear whatever will be your results column (including any headers) and place the following in the top cell of that otherwise cleared results column:
=ArrayFormula({"Your Header"; IF(N2:N="",,IFERROR(REGEXEXTRACT(" "&N2:N&" ","\s(\d{8})\s")))})
Replace the header text Your Header with whatever you want your actual header text to be. The formula will show that header text and will return all results for all rows where N2:N is not null. Where no eight-digit number is found, null will be returned.
By prepending and appending a space to the N2:N raw strings before processing, spaces before and after string components can be used to determine where only eight digits exist together (as opposed to eight digits within a longer string of digits).
The only assumption here is that there are, in fact, spaces between string components. I did not assume that the eight-digit number will always be in a certain position (e.g., first, last) within the string.
Try this, take a look at Example sheet
=FILTER(TRANSPOSE(SPLIT(B2," ")),LEN(TRANSPOSE(SPLIT(B2," ")))=8)
Or this to get them all.
=JOIN(" ,",FILTER(TRANSPOSE(SPLIT(B2," ")),LEN(TRANSPOSE(SPLIT(B2," ")))=8))
Explanation
SPLIT with the dilimiter set to " " space TRANSPOSE and FILTER TRANSPOSE(SPLIT(B2," ") with the condition1 set to LEN(TRANSPOSE(SPLIT(B2," "))) is = 8
JOIN the outputed column whith " ," to gat all occurrences of number with a length of 8
Note: to get the numbers with the length of N just replace 8 in the FILTER function with a cell refrence.
Using this on a cell worked just fine for me:
(cell_with_data)=REGEXEXTRACT(A1,"[0-9]{8}$")
I have a ColumnA where each cell include multiple values separated by comma, eg:
Elvis Costello, Madonna
Bob, Elvis Presley, Morgan Stanley
Frank, Morgan Stanley, Madonna Ford,
Elvis Costello, Madonna Ford
And I want to identify which rows/cells that includes any of the exact terms in another sheet/column, eg
Elvis Presley
Madonna
And I found this simple solution using Regexmatch (the last solution on that page) Is there a way to REGEXMATCH from a range of cells from A1:A1000 for example?
Say you want to search for a match from a list of cities.
Put your list of cities in one tab.
Make them into lowercase for easier lookup since search terms are all in lowercase. You can do this by adding a new column and using the LOWER function.
Go back to your cell that has the list of search phrases.
In any blank cell out of the way (off to the side on the top row is a good place) put this formula: CITY LIST FORMULA: =TEXTJOIN("|",1,'vlookup city'!B$2:B$477) (if your tab is named 'vlookup city' and your cities are in column B of that tab)
Add a new column next to your search terms, or pick an existing one where you want to put your "match found" info.
In that new column, add this formula (if your data starts in row 4 and you put the City List formula in cell G3:) =REGEXMATCH(A4,G$4)
Fill the formula all the way down your list. You can double-click the little blue square in the bottom right corner of the cell, or grab-and-drag all the way to the bottom of the list.
Ba-ding! It will search for any one of those city names, anywhere in your search phrase.
If the search phrase contains at least one matching term, it will return "True."
You can then add extra features on your formula to make it return something else. For example: =IF(REGEXMATCH(A4,G$4), "match found", "no match found")
This is a super lightweight solution that won't slow your sheet down too much and is easy to use.
https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1XAIDB98r2CGu7hL3ISirErDPNlgT6lVt-TCG0qI1uTE/edit?usp=sharing
The problem is that the Regexmatch solution identifies "Elvis Costello" and "Madonna Ford" and I only want to identify cells/rows that includes the exact term to match, ie "Elvis Presley" and "Madonna", ie whatever is between the commas has to be an exact match with one of the search terms, not just partially right.
I hope it made sense:)
Thanks all!
I think I might have found the answer, still trying to double check if it's correct.
I added \b before and after. So in the example sheet re-posted in the quoted part of my question i changed the cell:
Cell B3:
=TEXTJOIN("|",1,'vlookup city'!B$2:B$476)
and added another cell like this:
Cell B2:
=concatenate("\b(",$B$3,")\b")
Still checking if all false flags are removed.
Thanks
I have a column of data in binary values and I would like to split each digit of the number in the column into different cells across a row. How would I go about doing so? I saw the split function, but could not get it to work. https://support.google.com/docs/answer/3094136?
One of my example inputs:
1000111110100101111011110
1000110000100101000010000
try with this (you just change A2 to your cell):
=transpose(arrayformula(mid(A2,row(A1:offset(A1,len(A2),0)),1)))
For some rows (I limited text length with 30 char, you can change it):
=transpose(ARRAYFORMULA(mid(transpose(query(arrayformula(if(isnumber(A1:A)=true ,text(A1:A,"0"),A1:A)),"Select Col1 where Col1<>''")),row(A1:A30),1)))
try:
=ARRAYFORMULA(REGEXEXTRACT(A1:A, REPT("(.)", LEN(A1:A))))
I have read the other questions regarding Vlookup. I have my formula, but it is not working. I have a column of Zip-Codes in column e. I want to look for a matching zip-code in column m and then replace it with the county in column n. Please can you help me? Here is the formula:
=VLOOKUP(E2:E7807,M2:N962,2,false).
I have also tried using just 1 cell (E2) at the beginning of the formula instead of a range (E2:E7807).
Try below in the first cell.
=VLOOKUP(E2,$M$2:$N$962,2,false)
and copy and paste this cell in all required range of cells.
I have a file with many rows. Each row has a column which may contain comma separated values. I need each row to be distinct (ie no comma separated values).
Here is an example row:
AB AB10,AB11,AB12,AB15,AB16,AB21,AB22,AB23,AB24,AB25,AB99 ABERDEEN Aberdeenshire
The columns are comma separated (Postcode area, Postcode districts, Post town, Former postal county).
So the above row would get turned into:
AB AB10 ABERDEEN Aberdeenshire
AB AB11 ABERDEEN Aberdeenshire
AB AB12 ABERDEEN Aberdeenshire
...
...
I tried the following but it didn't work...
(.+)\t(([0-9A-Z]+),)+\t(.+)\t(.+)
I agree that RegEx are not be the best way but this should work hopefully if that's all you have available to you. (Done repeatedly until there are no more matches)
Edit
Updated with the OP's final solution from the comments.
Find: (.+)\t([^,\s]+),([^\t]+)\t(.+)
Replace: \1\t\2\t\4\r\1\t\3\t\4
I agree with stakx that this doesn't sound like a good place for regexes.
I would write a small program instead which read each line, split the line into columns, split each relevant column into a list of values, and then iterated over all combinations of those, outputting a line each time.
Assuming it's only that one column which can have multiple tokens, it would basically look like this:
while not InputFile.EndOfFile:
line = InputFile.readline();
columns = line.split('\t'); //Assuming 1-based array, so indexes 1-4
col2values = columns[2].split(',');
for each value in col2values:
OutputFile.WriteLine(columns[1]+'\t'+value+'\t'+columns[3]+'\t'+columns[4]);
If multiple columns can have multiple values, simply put another loop inside the for each.
