Regex Expression with Conditional formatting in a Google Sheet with tracts - regex

So I have to do some conditional formatting for a google spread sheet. Essentially I need to ensure that of a set of data, all of the census tracts that exist in the county need. I want to use conditional formatting to automatically highlight all of the tracts that is in the data set that don't exist in the county. I have a long chain of regex that is not working right now but it contains the data set of tracts that exist in the county. Any suggestions for better solutions would be great.

This does not seem like a good use of regex. You should embed that list somewhere in the spreadsheet and then in your conditional formula use a vlookup inside an isna to deliver a true/false whether it is in the list.
Unfortunately, Google Sheets does not allow the conditional formula to reference off-sheet ranges, so you'll have to keep both lists on the same sheet.

Workarounds to handle merged table cells in M2Doc

In my document, I need to generate a table that has merged cells.
simple example
As M2Doc does not support the merge of cells, I have tried two workarounds.
Workaround 1
It consists in creating nested tables inside the second column. I have played with the borders to hide the fact that it is a nested table.
M2Doc template of workaround 1
Unfortunately Word does not handle nested table correctly, as there is no way to garantee the constant width of cells. Which results in columns that don't have a constant width.
illustration of inconsistent column width
Workaround 2
My second workaround was to generate excel tables outside M2Doc, with Python4Capella. And in my M2Doc template, I create references towards the generated tables.
This second workaround would work well if I did not have to display XHTML descriptions in my table. So far, I can only get the markup code in Excel and I have no means to interpret it.
Any idea of how I could implement my table including merged cells with the current capabilities of M2Doc? For example with a dedicated Java service that I would develop? If so, any hint about how this service could be implemented is highly welcome. And so is any idea of strategy!
Thank you
It is possible to create a Java service to merge cells for instance this service.
Also you have Excel services to insert a table from an .xlsx file.
With Python for capella you will have to parse the XHTML from your description to use OpenPyXL formating.
And maybe an other idea could be to use MS Excel itself to do the conversion via a macro or some cell format option.

Filtering google sheets column to show cells ending with one of several values

I need to filter column A to see which cells end with values like .com/,.org/,.co.uk/, etc
Instead of filtering by "text ends with" dozens or hundreds of times, is there a way to combine all of these into one custom formula?
try this custom formula for:
filter view
conditional formatting
data validation
=REGEXMATCH(A1, ".com/$|.org/$|.co.uk/$")

How to use REGEX patterns to return day of the week if a date is entered?

I am trying to create something that will populate the day of the week in one cell based on a date entered in another, BUT in Master Data Services. I know I will need to do this in a business rule and apply it to the attributes. I am wondering if this can be don using REGEX patterns or any other clever method. So, for example if I have a column with 12/21/2016 in it, I want the next column to say "Wednesday". Thanks!
The simplest way would be using sql and use a calculated column or directly in a view. I'm not that familiar with MDS so there might be a better solution (or not even possible).
alter table mytable add weekday as DATENAME(dw,fieldname) persisted
Do never try to do your own date/time functions, you will fail

SAS Enterprise Miner split Dataset by binary variable

I am using the SAS Enterprise Miner 13.2.
I have a SAS table as a data source. In this table i have a binary variable D_TYP ( "I" and "P" ) and other categorical variables.
I want to split the data by D_TYP so i got two tables. One with all "I" and the other with "P". The problem i don’t know how.
I have been looking in the taskbar and i tried Filter and Data Partition. I can probably use SAS Code to split the Data but i think there is an other way with the taks.
You could use two filter nodes to do the job, with one filtering out I and the another filtering out P. The resulted data set should only consist of one type of the binary variable. In case you are not familiar with the filter node, click on the option Class Variable at properties panel and apply User specified filter. You have to manually select the group by clicking on its corresponding bar.

How to update OpenOffice Calc sheets with new formulas and formats?

I have created a spreadsheet in OpenOffice Calc that has multiple sheets for each month of the year. The sheet has some specific formulas and data laid out in several months.
Is there any easy way to go about modifying a formula and having it transfer across all the sheets?
Or if the format changes, is there a way to merge sheets through some type of macro or something?
If your data is laid out in a very regular way, you may be able to copy+paste the modified formula to each sheet and have it adjust the cell references correctly.
However, for this type of flexibility (being able to make a change in one location and have it reflected in how all existing data is displayed) a database is generally required. OpenOffice has a database component Base, and information from Base can easily be imported to Calc if you have specific spreadsheet requirements. The learning curve for Base is fairly long, but might be worthwhile if you handle this kind of data frequently.
A formula in the same place on several sheets need only be updated once provided the relevant sheets are grouped together first (click their tabs with Ctrl depressed - and don't forget to ungroup them when appropriate!). Fill applied to A1 of a group of sheets will colour A1 in each of those sheets.
The Consolidate feature (under Data) might be of interest.
