Long story short, we have a list of products on our website in CSV. All the product variants are assigned a colour. To save dev time, we've got it set up so that the background-color is the same is the variant name. Eg. background-color: red.
I'm wanting to take our list of products and say highlight all the ones that already have valid HTML colors. I've been able to do this by doing the following:
=regexmatch(C1,"Indianred|Lightcoral|Salmon|Darksalmon|Lightsalmon|Crimson|Red|Firebrick|Darkred|Pink|Lightpink|Hotpink|Deeppink|Mediumvioletred|Palevioletred|Lightsalmon|Coral|Tomato|Orangered|Darkorange|Orange|Gold|Yellow|Lightyellow|Lemonchiffon|Lightgoldenrodyellow|Papayawhip|Moccasin|Peachpuff|Palegoldenrod|Khaki|Darkkhaki|Lavender|Thistle|Plum|Violet|Orchid|Fuchsia|Magenta|Mediumorchid|Mediumpurple|Rebeccapurple|Blueviolet|Darkviolet|Darkorchid|Darkmagenta|Purple|Indigo|Slateblue|Darkslateblue|Mediumslateblue|Greenyellow|Chartreuse|Lawngreen|Lime|Limegreen|Palegreen|Lightgreen|Mediumspringgreen|Springgreen|Mediumseagreen|Seagreen|Forestgreen|Green|Darkgreen|Yellowgreen|Olivedrab|Olive|Darkolivegreen|Mediumaquamarine|Darkseagreen|Lightseagreen|Darkcyan|Teal|Aqua|Cyan|Lightcyan|Paleturquoise|Aquamarine|Turquoise|Mediumturquoise|Darkturquoise|Cadetblue|Steelblue|Lightsteelblue|Powderblue|Lightblue|Skyblue|Lightskyblue|Deepskyblue|Dodgerblue|Cornflowerblue|Mediumslateblue|Royalblue|Blue|Mediumblue|Darkblue|Navy|Midnightblue|Cornsilk|Blanchedalmond|Bisque|Navajowhite|Wheat|Burlywood|Tan|Rosybrown|Sandybrown|Goldenrod|Darkgoldenrod|Peru|Chocolate|Saddlebrown|Sienna|Brown|Maroon|White|Snow|Honeydew|Mintcream|Azure|Aliceblue|Ghostwhite|Whitesmoke|Seashell|Beige|Oldlace|Floralwhite|Ivory|Antiquewhite|Linen|Lavenderblush|Mistyrose|Gainsboro|Lightgray|Silver|Darkgray|Gray|Dimgray|Lightslategray|Slategray|Darkslategray|Black")
However, that's not finding the exact match. For example, it's returned things like Black/ White as having a match, which obviously wouldn't work as a HTML color. It's also found things like 'Swedish Blue', presumably because it's found the Blue.
If your list is in the format as shown and you have another list, say in ColumnI, of valid HTML colours then select ColumnC and: Format > Conditional formatting..., Format cells if... Custom formula is and:
=match(trim(mid(C1,19,len(C1))),I:I,0)
with highlighting of choice and Done.

I have one table of data (A) with data values, and a second table (B) which serves as a key that categorises/groups those entries into categories.
I am trying to write a cell formula that will list the category that corresponds to the data value in (A).
Some of the entries in the data table are empty, i.e. have no input data.
Case in point:
A13 has an empty cell, according to table (B), I specifically want the blank cell to be categorised as "Other". At the moment the sheet thinks cells like these are "null" and not "blank" and therefore returns #N/A.
I have tried adding an IFERROR function, which works at this stage but does not suit the scenario where a new data entry is entered as that will initially show as "Other" too when it should be something else, so I want to avoid using:
=IFERROR(INDEX(D2:D13,MATCH(A2:A13,E2:E13,0)),"Other")
Current cell formula for col B:
=INDEX(D2:D13,MATCH(A2:A13,E2:E13,0))
Please can you help? I've found plenty of articles on how to ignore blank/empty cells, but nothing to include them.
Many thanks!

use ifna like:
=IFNA(INDEX(D2:D13, MATCH(A2:A13, E2:E13, 0)))
update:
=INDEX(IF(A2:A13="",,IFERROR(INDEX(D2:D13,MATCH(A2:A13,E2:E13,0)),"Other")))
I´m working on a project using XSL-FO to generate some PDF Files.
There are several tables with rating comparisons.
Some columns have short text and some have very long text.
Without the attribute keep-together.within-page or with keep-together.within-page='auto' the tables look very ugly because the columns break the text at the end of a page - no matter what.
So i decided to use keep-together.within-page='always' to achive a better look. If a row doesnt fit on a page, fop moves the row to a new page. beautiful.
Now the problem.
In some cases some texts are very long and the content is larger than one page. In this case i want the row to break onto 2 pages.
I was looking for something like keep-together.within-page='always if possible'
is it possible to achive this some how?
You are searching for:
keep-together.within-page='<number(1-9)>'
If you type in 'always' fop tries to fit it with any necessary method into one page. If you specify a number it is more like "I will try what I can, but if the text is to long, it will break anyways". The number you fill in, is more like a priority, in case you have many nested keep-togethers. That means that the value 1 will also do its job.
I am creating an excel sheet with following Data Validation drop down list.
NA
Done
(add some formula here)
Basically, i will be able to select either plain text "NA"/ "Done" from the dropdown list. But sometimes, I want the user to be able to calculate some values based on the cell respective to the row selected so, I want to have one formula as a choice inside the data validation dropdown list. Is this possible?
Data Validation List Source
When I click on Formulae option, it should execute the formula with respect to the cells in that Row
But currently, the formula that i put in doesn't execute, instead it will just show the whole formula in the cell when activated.
1)How can i make it so that when i select the formula from data validation list, it will execute it instead of filling up the cell with it?
2)How do i set the formula so that it will be using the cell from the current Row? (for example, if i am using the data validation List in N60, the formula should adapt itself to use the cell (let's say A60?).
I may not be able to help with the second part, but I was seeking an answer to the first and discovered a solution/workaround using Name Manager.
First, in Formula > Name Manager, create a new reference (the "refers to" will contain whatever formula you are wishing to ultimately display in the validation list. For this example, we use the formula reference "=IF($H54=..." and Name it "UniqueName"
Now, we go into Data Validation, Select List, and input the three items we want displayed in the list, with an equals sign preceding our newly named reference: ie. "NA,Done,=UniqueName"
Note: You can't start with the =UniqueName or validation will try to read it all as a formula and fail.
This method will allow the user to display "NA", "Done", or "=UniqueName" in the cell; if "=UniqueName" is selected, the cell itself will interpret this as a formula and execute it accordingly, displaying the results of "=IF($H54=...", or whateverelse you have designated to use as a named formula.
If it's too late for yours, I hope this helps someone else who may face a similar problem.
While I think I know what you're trying to say. Why don't you just use an IF formula to evaluate everything instead of selecting a drop down for every row manually. You already had it partially solved using IF. Just need to add the criteria for a "Done" and an "NA"
=if(A1="date","Done",if(A1<"date","NA",if(something else until you have all your catergories))
Just going to piggyback off of Mark's response.
If you really needed your named formula to be the first selection in the list, you can setup your list with a leading comma like so:
,=UniqueName,NA,Done
That worked out for my use, and there was no null item listed in the Data Validation drop down. Hope that helps!
I have a situation where I'm using the IEditorDataFilter interface within a custom UltraGrid editor control to automatically map values from a bound data source when they're displayed in the grid cells. In this case it's converting guid-based key values into user-friendly values, and it works well by displaying what I need in the cell, but retaining the GUID values as the 'value' behind the scenes.
My issue is what happens when I enable the built-in group by functionality and the user groups by a column using my editor. In that case the group by headers default to using the cell's value, which is the guid in my case, so I end up with headers like this:
Column A: 7F720CE8-123A-4A5D-95A7-6DC6EFFE5009 (10 items)
What I really want is the cell's display value to be used instead so it's something like this:
Column A: Item 1 (10 items)
What I've tried so far
Infragistics provides a couple mechanisms for modifying what's shown in group by rows:
GroupByRowDescriptionMask property of the grid (http://bit.ly/1g72t1b)
Manually set the row description via the InitializeGroupByRow event (http://bit.ly/1ix1CbK)
Option 1 doesn't appear to give me what I need because the cell's display value is not exposed in the set of tokens they provide. Option 2 looks promising but it's not clear to me how to get at the cell's display value. The event argument only appears to contain the cell's backing value, which in my case is the GUID.
Is there a proper approach for using the group by functionality when you're also using an IEditorDataFilter implementation to convert values?
This may be frowned upon, but I asked my question on the Infragistic forums as well, and a complete answer is available there (along with an example solution demonstrating the problem):
http://www.infragistics.com/community/forums/p/88541/439210.aspx
In short, I was applying my custom editors at the cell level, which made them unavailable when the rows were grouped together. A better approach would be to apply the editor at the column level, which would make the editor available at the time of grouping, and would provide the expected behavior.
We have a ColdFusion based site that involves a large number of 'document authors' that have little or no knowledge of HTML. The 'documents' they create are comprised of HTML stored in a table in the database. They use a CKEDITOR interface. The content that they create is output into specific area of the page. The document frequently has tons of technical terms that readers may not be familiar with that we would like to have tooltips automatically show up for.
I and the other programmer want to have some code insert 'tooltip' code into the page based on a list of words in a table on our SQL server. The 'dictionary' table in our database has a unique ID, the word/phrase we will look for and a corresponding definition that would be displayed in the tooltip.
For instance, one of the word/phrases we will be looking for is 'Scrum Master'. If it occurs in the document area, we need to insert code around the words to create a tooltip. To do that, we need to see if certain conditions exist. Are the words within an anchor tag? If yes, is there already a title value for the tag (title is used to contain the info to be displayed in a tooltip)? If a title tag exists, don't do anything. If the words are not in an anchor tag, then we would put anchor tags around the words along with the title that will contain the definition.
The tooltip code we use is via jQuery (http://jqueryui.com/tooltip/). It is quick and simple to use. We just need to figure out how to use it dynamically based on our dictionary table.
Do you have any suggestions of how to go about this?
I was hoping that jSoup might have a function that I could use, but that doesn't seem to be the right technology for what I want to do, but I could be wrong and I am happy to be corrected!
We have a large number of these documents and so manually inserting and maintaining the tooltip code is just not an option.
Update you content with something like:
strOut = ReplaceList(strIn, ValueList(qryTT.find), ValueList(qryTT.replace));
Since words are delimited by spaces, the qryTT.find needs to have spaces. The replace column is going to need to include some of the original content. You are going to have to be careful with words followed by a comma or a period too.
I would cache the results because I would expect it to be memory intensive.
