Google sheets - Conditional Formatting "less than" not working properly when used on range - if-statement

t Hey guys, im getting mad about something really simple. Why does this plain conditional formatting light up the values 15 and 12? When applied only for cell D1 or F1 it works properly, I'm really clueless. Thank you for your advice!
Also my greetings got deleted everytime after saving the edit, I had to put a random letter in front so it got through, whats up with that random behaviour lol

instead of your:
=A1
use:
=$A1

Converting floating point value to string using gcvt(), but when there are no decimals the whole number printed out ends in a dot

Just hopefully a simple question about the gcvt() function.
Printing out buffer as a result of gcvt(32.000,10,buffer), results in "32."
Any way I can get rid of that annoying dot after the 32?
I don't think you can get gcvt to not do that - you can remove it afterward with
if ((p=strchr(buffer,'.'))
*p='\0';
As usual after posting took me 10 mins to figure out a solution....
gcvt is depreciated and I was set on using that because after hours of something not working this helped it work.
Anyway, the best way to do this is to use sprintf(buffer, "%f", float_value);
Literally does the same thing and no dot at the end!

Jelly script <j:if> comparison of two strings

All,
Simply, I need to compare two strings within a jelly script and if they are not the same, I want to update one string with the other value. Simply, I'd like something like this:
<j:if test="${currentTestName} != ${trTest_Name_Pass}">
<j:set var="currentTestName" value="${trTest_Name_Pass}"/>
</j:if>
I've tried various test conditions such as
<j:if test="!( ${currentTestName.equals('${trTest_Name_Pass}')} )">
<j:set var="currentTestName" value="${trTest_Name_Pass}"/>
</j:if>
and some other combinations, but I'm stymied to see how to compare the strings. I've done a fair amount of searching, but have not hit on a solution. Maybe Jelly does not support this. In any case, apologies if this has been addressed elsewhere, but I seemed to have missed it, if it was.
Thanks in advance for any thoughts. -- JC
You should fix the syntax of the Jelly if tag to:
<j:if test="${currentTestName != trTest_Name_Pass}">
Or to:
<j:if test="${!currentTestName.equals(trTest_Name_Pass)}">

TO_PURE_TEXT with cell referencing doesn't filter double quotes against documentation

I want to get a clean number from a string like "123.45". On using of =TO_PURE_TEXT(C10) it doesn't work for me,
against an example from the documentation. An absolute referencing doesn't help.
But, if i use no cell referencing, but direct input, like =TO_PURE_TEXT("123.45") the input is correct, as expected without quotes.
Is it a kind of bug, or do i really do something wrong? How can i get this work with the cell referencing?
all you need is:
=SUBSTITUTE(C10, """", )*1
or:
=REGEXREPLACE(C10, """", )*1
I can't speak to whether it's a bug. Does seem odd, but this should work for now:
=1*SUBSTITUTE(C10,CHAR(34),"")

openoffice calc use contents of a cell as the formula for another

I searched for this and couldn't find how to do it. I have a cell that has an equation like: ".25 + .33" which I want displayed exactly like that. In the cell next to it, I want it to give me the result of that equation, ie, to turn that into "=.25 - .33" and show the result. I know I could do it the other way around, typing the formula out, and then using =FORMULA() and REPLACE() to remove the '=' or even use macros. But that's not what I want in this case. Is there a way to do this? I tried looking at functions like =INDIRECT() but no joy.
Given the constraints you have chosen, in a word, No.

Delimiting columns very specifically

I've got a column (with many thousands of rows) which I'd like to delimit into multiple rows. I have some experience using regular expressions in Excel, and I have some experience using delimiters in excel, but this one is just a tad too hard..
Let me give you three example-lines:
- 23-12-05: For sale for 2000. 2010-09-09: Not found
- 25-11-09: For sale for 3400. Last date found: 2010-07-08
- 18-06-08: For sale for 5500. 21-07-09: Changed from 5500 to 4900. 16-09-09: Jumped from 4900 to 4700. 2010-02-04: Not found
Most other lines follow these structures. How can I create a new column based on just the first symbols before [COLON]; A second column based on the symbols between the first [COLON] and the first [DOT]. How can I continue to the last IF the text LAST DATE is not found? Finally: How can I use regex (or another way) to use the text 'NOT FOUND' to paste the last date into a new column?
Trust me, I have been at this for quite some time now (sigh). Any help is much appreciated!
you can actually use formulas for this.
Assuming the text is in A1,
B1: =LEFT(A1,FIND(":",A1)-1)
C1: =MID(A1,FIND(":",A1)+1,FIND(".",A1,FIND(":",A1))-FIND(":",A1))
D1: =MID(A1,FIND(".",A1,FIND(":",A1))+1,LEN(A1))
E1: =MID(A1,FIND("Not found",A1)-12,10)
(I'm assuming the date format does not change for the E1)
By the way, this also works for me, to get the last date in a cell:
=LOOKUP(9999999999999999,FIND("**-**-**",A1,ROW($1:$1024)))
Only problem here is: I haven't the slightest clue what exactly I am doing here.
For example, I'd like to use the same code to find the FIRST occurence of a date.
Can anyone explain this code to me? Why am I searching for a very high number? What is it in this code that makes that I find the last occurence? What does it mean that the 'starting number' is "row(1:1024)"?
Anybody knows?
