I'm working in a database app that allows text formulas. There is a specific formula that will convert a number to text, but I want that text to match the format written on checks
ONE-HUNDRED-FIFTY-AND-5/100
Below is an example of the formula and the result. For some reason the output on the formula is only
AND-5/100
Any tips on what I need to do to make the rest of my formula work?
"Amount number" is the field in my database that I want to convert to text.
upper(regexReplace(numberToWords(extractRegex({Amount number},^.*(?=(\\.)))),\\s+,-)) AND extractRegex({Amount number},[^.]*$)/100
Output I'm getting is only AND X/100 the first part of the formula is not showing up.

I've got this string:
{"success":true,"lowest_price":"1,49€","volume":"1,132","median_price":"1,49€"}
Now I want the value for median_price being displayed in a cell. HHow can I achive this with Regex?
With regex101.com I've came to this solution:
(?<=median_price":")\d{0,4},\d{2}€
But this one does not seem to be working in LibreOffice calc.
I'd advise to discard the Euro-symbol at first since you'd probably want to retrieve a value to calculate with, a numeric value. Therefor try:
Formula in B1:
=--REGEX(A1;".*median_price"":""(\d+(?:,\d+)?)€.*";"$1")
The double unary will transform the result from the 1st capture group into a number. I then went ahead and formatted the cell to display currency (Ctrl+Shift+4).
Note: I went with a slightly different regular pattern. But go with whatever works for your data I supppose.
In desperate need of some assistance with this!
Wasn't sure how to title this question...
SAMPLE SHEET - CLICK ME! :)
In SupportingSheet!H1 I have the following formula:
=ArrayFormula(if(G1:G<>"", IF(DASHBOARD!N2<>"", G1:G/DASHBOARD!$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))))
I have a google spreadsheet that I am using as a quiz. The quiz takers select an option from a data validation drop down.
The cell below strips all but the first character =left(A2,1) which is a numeral value. Further below in the sheet is a cell that sums certain cells, For instance,
=Sum(A3,D3)
For some reason, the sum function does not recognize the cell as a purely numeral value, even with changing the format to number. Any ideas?
you can use SUMPRODUCT instead of SUM which is able to recognize numeric values even if they are disguised as a text string:
=SUMPRODUCT(A3:D3)
another way would be use regex like:
=ARRAYFORMULA(REGEXEXTRAXT(A3:D3, "(\d+)-")*1)
Given what is immediately above the values in Row3, that row might be redundant and the total calculated as:
=ArrayFormula(sum(0+left(A2:D2)))
I am trying to search for cells in a column containing a time in the format of 00:00 using the MATCH function. I have tried things similar to MATCH("??:??",A:A) and MATCH("?*:?*",A:A) with no luck. How can I form a regular expression of 2 digits, then a colon, then 2 digits?
Often times what is displayed to us in excel isn't the actual value. Time and Dates are one such time. Generally if you enter a time into excel 3:55 it will convert that automatically to excel's time format, which is a decimal number: 0.163194444444444, but it formats it automatically to "mm:ss" just like you entered it.
So... when you try to =MATCH() using a wildcard, you aren't going to find a hit since the value in the cell is actually that decimal number.
Instead you have to convert the value of the cells you are searching into a text format. You can do that with the =TEXT() formula. Assuming your data starts in A1 you can put in B1:
=Text(A1, "mm:ss")
Now the returned value from that formula still looks like the mm:ss format, but it's now text. The underlying value is actually 3:55. No funny business. You can now base your wild card search of "*:*" off of this column:
=Match("*:*", B1:B10, 0)
If you want to do this all in one formula you can use an Array formula (or CSE):
=Match("*:*", Text(A1:A10,"mm:ss"),0)
Using Ctrl+Shift+Enter (instead of Enter) when you enter the formula.
I've got a .xls file with a column of zip codes.
Since they are all 5 digit numbers, Open Office Calc is treating them as numbers. I want it to treat them as text.
I know I can do it by prepending an apostrophe to all the numeric fields. But I've got a couple dozen spreadsheets with a couple thousand zip codes.
I've tried selecting the column and doing Format - Cells - picking the Number tab and selecting Text. But that doesn't work and the Format Code is # instead of '
Is there a way to select a column of numeric data and automatically add a ' to the beginning of each field?
You could do it using VBA in a macro, which would be straightforward. Alternatively you can make a formula using BAHTTEXT (under text) which converts numbers to text. If that doesn't work you can use CONCATENATE and have a column of all apostrophes, and just join those two columns. Then just drag down the formula and you will have a new column of text.
