In desperate need of some assistance with this!
Wasn't sure how to title this question...
SAMPLE SHEET - CLICK ME! :)
In SupportingSheet!H1 I have the following formula:
=ArrayFormula(if(G1:G<>"", IF(DASHBOARD!N2<>"", G1:G/DASHBOARD!$P$2-filter(DASHBOARD!O1:O100,REGEXMATCH(DASHBOARD!N1:N100,E1:E100)),G1:G/(DASHBOARD!$M$3)),))
The part I struggle with is:
G1:G/DASHBOARD!$P$2-filter(DASHBOARD!O1:O100,REGEXMATCH(DASHBOARD!N1:N100,E1:E100))
It needs to divide two numbers and then subtract another number. I can't seem to get this formula to pull the correct number.
It needs to check if the text in E1:E100 exist in DASHBOARD!N1:N100, if yes, pull the number from DASHBOARD!O1:O100.
For example, text in SupportingSheet!E1 can be found in DASHBOARD!N2, hence it needs to pull the number from DASHBOARD!O2.
Column SupportingSheet!J has the actual end result that a formula needs to produce.
It doesn't look like Regexmatch works as an Arrayformula and I am not sure how to go about it.
Please note, that text in SupportingSheet!E1:E is not always identical. Often it will have a random number of "space" at the end (long story...). That is why Regexmatch was a perfect option until I realised it didn't work.
Please let me know if further clarification is needed.
Below is an image of the random spaces (non-printable characters) at the end.
use:
=ARRAYFORMULA(IF(G1:G="",,IF(DASHBOARD!N2<>"",
IFNA(G1:G/DASHBOARD!$P$2-VLOOKUP(E1:E1000, DASHBOARD!N1:O100, 2, 0),
G1:G/DASHBOARD!$M$3))))

So I'm using Regexextract in GoogleSheet to find the value for a big amount of data. I have 2 problems I don't know to extract or what I did wrong. Feel free to point out my mistakes and help me with a solution.
Require: I need to extract the part number which format is ABCD#### or ABCD-#### which is is Upper character and numbers follow after, with or w/o "-" , for example KTA1763 or SPD-4124
# I use this formula: =Regexextract(A1,"([A-Z]+-?[0-9]*)") .FYI, the values I'm extracting, it could appear either at the beginning, middle or last.
1.First problem, I have the value as below:
REACH TECH 223/224 list document for KTD2026BEWE-TR
=> Extract result : REACH
[What I need: KTD2026]
2.I have the value as:
information for Part number KTA1550EDS-TR
=> Extract result: P
[What I need: KTA1550]
Please let me know which part in the formula should I fix to have the final expected result. Or how should I alter my formula for that matter, big thanks
go for:
=INDEX(IFNA(REGEXEXTRACT(A1:A, "[A-Z]+\d+")))
Try this in one cell.
=ArrayFormula(IF(A2:A="",,REGEXEXTRACT(REGEXEXTRACT(A2:A, ".+"®EXEXTRACT(A2:A, "[0-9]+")), ".+\s(.+)")))
I want to avoid duplicate code within excel formulas. Is there a method to repeat a certain code segment?
=IF(A1=1,(A1-B2-C3),(A1-B2-C3)+1)
This would be especially useful when it comes to more complex or longer sections. But: everything must be in ONE formula in ONE cell. Thanks! :-)
EDIT: This is my current code.
=IF(ISNUMBER(SEARCH(".amp",A2)),IFERROR(MID(A2,FIND("#",SUBSTITUTE(A2,"-","#",LEN(A2)-LEN(SUBSTITUTE(A2,"-",""))))+1,SEARCH(".html",A2)-FIND("#",SUBSTITUTE(A2,"-","#",LEN(A2)-LEN(SUBSTITUTE(A2,"-",""))))-5),""),IFERROR(MID(A2,FIND("#",SUBSTITUTE(A2,"-","#",LEN(A2)-LEN(SUBSTITUTE(A2,"-",""))))+1,SEARCH(".html",A2)-FIND("#",SUBSTITUTE(A2,"-","#",LEN(A2)-LEN(SUBSTITUTE(A2,"-",""))))-1),""))
It strips the long ID number out of any URL of a specific CMS. So
FIND("#",SUBSTITUTE(A2,"-","#",LEN(A2)-LEN(SUBSTITUTE(A2,"-","")))
is probably the part which occurs more than once and should be replaced for a code which does not be that duplicate-prone.
EXAMPLE: www.domain.com/path1/path2/this-is-an-article-123-dd-123456789.html --> 1234567890
EXAMPLE: www.domain.com/path1/path2/this-is-an-article-123-dd-1234567890.amp.html ->
1234567890
EXAMPLE: www.domain.com/path1/this-is-an-article-1234567890.html ->
1234567890
In google sheets, you could use REGEXEXTRACT to get what you want:
Formula in B1:
=REGEXEXTRACT(A1,"\d{8,}")
Place the complex common sub-expression in its own cell and refer to that cell.
EDIT#1:
As an alternative, you can use a Named Formula for the sub-expression:
Named Formula
So here is another way of finding the code in Excel:
Here is the formula in Cell B1 which needs to be confirmed by pressing Ctrl+Shift+Enter, then drag it down to apply across board:
{=FILTERXML("<data><a>"&SUBSTITUTE(MID(A1,LARGE(IF(MID(A1,ROW($A$1:INDEX($A:$A,LEN(A1))),1)="-",ROW($A$1:INDEX($A:$A,LEN(A1)))),1)+1,LEN(A1)),".","</a><a>")&"</a></data>","/data/a[1]")}
For the logic behind this formula you may give a read to this article: Extract Words with FILTERXML.
Cheers :)
Ps. it seems that GoogleSheet has out performed Excel in some area already.
I have multiple cells that I am attempting to extract a number from, and need help finding a regex alternative.
The cells range in the following formats:
asdfs. Seat#29 asfddsa
asdfsa. Seat#5d
asdfasN/A . Seat#22 as789fsd
Seat#111 words33
The closest that I came to a solution is:
=IFERROR(TRIM(MID([#DisplayName],FIND("#",[#DisplayName])+1,3)),"")
As you can see this will extract most of the numbers but for some it leaves a character at the end.
The only commonality is the # preceding the seat number. I am trying to extract only the seat number, no other numbers.
I cannot use VBA, this must be done using formulas. I have figured this out once before but stupidly pasted over the formulas with a values only paste.
This can be done utilizing a flash fill, but I was hoping for a more stable formula.
If you want just the numbers then use:
=--MID(A1,FIND("#",A1)+1,AGGREGATE(15,6,ROW(1:5)/(ISERROR(--MID(REPLACE(A1,1,FIND("#",A1),""),ROW(1:5),1))),1)-1)
If you want the letter also then:
=MID(A1,FIND("#",A1)+1,FIND(" ",REPLACE(A1,1,FIND("#",A1),""))-1)
If you do not need the letter following the seat number, you can use
.*#(\d+)
Edit for clarity: Excel does not have regex functions built in. You will either have to use a UDF (I can help with that if you'd like) or use a non-regex solution.
Here is a solution without VBA to extract all numbers inside the strings.

Sheet #3
The documentation for pattern matching for Google Sheets has not been helpful. I've been reading and searching for a while now and can't find this particular issue. Maybe I'm having a hard time finding the correct terms to search for but here is the problem:
I have several numbers (part numbers) that follow this format: ##-####
Categories can be defined by the part numbers, i.e. 50-03## would be one product category, and the remaining 2 digits are specific for a model.
I've been trying to run this:
=countif(E9:E13,"50-03[123][012]*")
(E9:E13 contains the part number formatted as text. If I format it any other way, the values show up screwed up because Google Sheets thinks I'm writing a date or trying to do arithmetic.)
This returns 0 every time, unless I were to change to:
=countif(E9:E13,"50-03*")
So it seems like wildcards work, but pattern matching does not?
As you identified and Wiktor mentioned COUNTIF only supports wildcards.
There are many ways to do what you want though, to name but 2
=ArrayFormula(SUM(--REGEXMATCH(E9:E13, "50-03[123][012]*")))
=COUNTA(FILTER(E9:E13, REGEXMATCH(E9:E13, "50-03[123][012]*")))
This is a really big hammer for a problem like yours, but you can use QUERY to do something like this:
=QUERY(E9:E13, "select count(E) where E matches '50-03[123][012]' label count(E) ''")
The label bit is to prevent QUERY from adding an automatic header to the count() column.
The nice thing about this approach is that you can pull in other columns, too. Say that over in column H, you have a number of orders for each part. Then, you can take two cells and show both the count of parts and the sum of orders:
=QUERY(E9:H13, "select count(E), sum(H) where E matches '50-03[123][012]' label count(E) '', sum(H) ''")
I routinely find this question on $searchEngine and fail to notice that I linked another question with a similar problem and other relevant answers.
I want to check if specific cell contain only numbers.
I know I should use RegExMatch but I get an error.
This is what I wrote : =if(RegExMatch(H2,[0-9]),"a","b")
I want it to say : write 'a' if H2 contains only numbers, 'b' otherwise.
Thank you
Try this:
=IF(ISNUMBER(H2,"A","B"))
or
=if(isna(REGEXEXTRACT(text(H2,"#"),"\d+")),"b","a")
One reason your match isn't working also - is that it in interpreting your numbers as text. the is number function is a bit more consistent, but if you really need to use regex, then you can see in the second formula where im making sure the that source text is matching against a string.
Your formula is right, simple you forget the double quotes at regexmatch function's regular_expression .
This is the right formula: =if(RegExMatch(B20,"[0-9]"),"a","b")
=REGEXREPLACE(“text”,”regex”,”replacement”)
It spits out the entire content but with the regular expression matched content replaced. =REGEXREPLACE(A2,[0-9],"a")
=REGEXREPLACE(A2,![0-9],"b")//not sure about not sign.
will fill a cell with the same text as A2, but with the 0-9 becoming an a!
