Say for example in column C I have all emails which contain the same domain. This field is populated by a form.
I need a function to remove the #domain.com from the field every time a new record is inserted in the column.
pseudo code:
=REGEXREPLACE(<this-cell-value>,"#domain.com","")
assuming your data starts in row 2, in D2 try:
=ArrayFormula(iferror(regexextract(C2:C, "(.+)#")))
This should extract from col C everything that is before the #.
See if that works ?

I have a list of participants in column A. A full employee list in column B. I want to get the list of non-participants in column C. Basically 'B-A' but in list form.
'January' is the participants list:
try:
=FILTER(A:A; NOT(COUNTIF(B:B; A:A)))
It is always an added challenge to write formulas when we don't have access to actual date. But based on what I can see, try this formula in the top cell of any empty column:
=ArrayFormula({"My Header"; FILTER(R2:R,ISERROR(VLOOKUP(TRIM(R2:R),TRIM(T2:T),1,FALSE)))})
You can change "My Header" to something meaningful.
The next part means "FILTER in anything in the range R2:R that cannot be found [i.e., ISERROR(VLOOKUP(...))] in T2:T."
TRIM is used just to account for any accidental/stray spaces that may occur in either list, since that would result in no match if one or the other had extra space.
If this does not do what you expect, please share a link to a sample spreadsheet.
I have a spreadsheet where a user will fill out a form which then outputs onto a google sheet with a timestamp. This is then concatenated with their name to get an input ID.
I have column A with the input ID and column B with the name of the person who is supposed to be in the columnID.
For example:
Column A: 11/11/11Bob Smith
Column B: Bob Smith
I would like to highlight any cell in column A that does not contain the contents of column B. There is a large amount of content in column B that changes on a weekly basis so it would not be worth the time to go through and set conditional formatting for each cell.
try:
=NOT(REGEXMATCH(A1, TEXTJOIN("|", 1, B:B)))*(A1<>"")
You can add conditional formatting to a whole range.
If data in column A should contain text of column B of the same row, this can be done with:
=not(REGEXMATCH(A1, B1))
I have a Google sheet which generates an error in the following expression:
=query(Capacity!A5:FE135,"SELECT C,A WHERE "&SUBSTITUTE(ADDRESS(1,match(D2,Capacity!A1:FE1,0)+2,4),"1","")&" = '"&C2&"' AND "&SUBSTITUTE(ADDRESS(1,match(D2,Capacity!A1:FE1,0),4),"1","")&" = 1 ORDER BY C")
for a single, specific input value (a date) at D2.
Essentially, the purpose of the code is to find the column location of the date at D2 in a second sheet (Capacity) and put the values of that column in that sheet into column C in the current sheet, while also selecting only rows that match on a second column. When the date is set to a specific value, however, the expression will not evaluate.
On breaking this massive expression down into its component parts, it turns out the problem is caused by this expression:
=SUBSTITUTE(ADDRESS(1,match(D2,Capacity!A1:FE1,0)+2,4),"1","")
which, for the offending date, is returning column BY.
This means the expression being evaluated in Google Visualization API query language is:
SELECT C,A WHERE BY = '' AND BW = 1 ORDER BY C
but the query language sees BY as a reserved word, not a column, and barfs.
How can I escape the column name somehow to make it clear that it is to be considered a column name?
The way is to surround the offending portion with back-quotes (as I used to make text monospaced here):
=query(Capacity!A5:FE135,"SELECT C,A WHERE `"&SUBSTITUTE(ADDRESS(1,match(D2,Capacity!A1:FE1,0)+2,4),"1","")&"` = '"&C2&"' AND `"&SUBSTITUTE(ADDRESS(1,match(D2,Capacity!A1:FE1,0),4),"1","")&"` = 1 ORDER BY C")
so the query will look like
SELECT C,A WHERE `BY` = '' AND `BW` = 1 ORDER BY C
I assume this will help when the sheet grows so big that we're on column IF as well.
I'm trying to fuzzy match two columns in google sheets, i've tried numerous formulas but I think it's going to come down to a script to help out.
I have a column with product ID's e.g.
E20067
and then I have another sheet with another column which has image url's relating to this product code such as
http://wholesale.test.com/product/E20067/web_images/E20067.jpg
http://wholesale.test.com/product/E20067/high_res/E20067.jpg
http://wholesale.test.com/product/E20067/high_res/E20067-2.jpg
What I'm wanting to do is "fuzzy" match both of these columns for their product ID, and then create a new column for each match. So it would have the product ID then on the same row in multiple columns each product image URL - like the image below:
Is there a way to do this in google sheets using a script or a formula?
In Google sheets there are a few powerful 'regex' formulas.
Suppose, you have ID list in column A, and URL list in column B
Then use formula:
=REGEXEXTRACT(B1,JOIN("|",$A$1:$A$3))
It will match one of ID's. Drag the formula down to see the result as in picture above.

Old thread but, in case you find yourself here, search for my Google Sheets add-on called Flookup. It should do exactly what you want.
For this case, you can use this function:
Flookup (lookupValue, tableArray, lookupCol, indexNum, threshold, [rank], [range])
The parameter details are:
lookupValue: the value you're looking up
tableArray: the table you want to search
lookupCol: the column you want to search
indexNum: the column you want data to be returned from
threshold: the percentage similarity below which data shouldn't be returned
rank: the nth best match (i.e. if the first one isn't to your liking)
range: choose to return the percentage similarity or row number for each match
You can find out more at the official website (examples and such).
Please note that, whereas the OP appears to want the whole list of possible matches, Flookup will only return one result at a time.
Flookup can now return a list of all possible matches through its LRM mode.
Try the following. I am assuming the product codes are in Sheet1 and the URLs are in Sheet2. Both in column A:
=iferror(transpose(FILTER(Sheet2!$A$2:$A,Search("*"& A2 &"*",Sheet2!$A$2:$A))))
Copy down.
If you want to show the image instead of the url try:
=arrayformula(image(iferror(transpose(FILTER(Sheet2!$A$2:$A,Search("*"& A2 &"*",Sheet2!$A$2:$A))))))
In Rails, I am trying to fetch data from mongodb using LIKE query by providing regular expression but even though not getting the correct output.
Model : User
_id, name, display_name, age, address, nick_name
a1, Johny, Johny K, 12, New York, John
b1, James, James Waltor, 15, New York, James
c1, Joshua, Joshua T, 13, California, Josh
Now I have 3 set of records.
Query 1 : Search User having 'Jo' as keyword in initial name
User.where(name: /^jo/i)
Output - Only One record - instead of two.
Query 2 :- Match the text with all column values
User.where($where: /^jo/i)
Not getting the proper output.
Ok on the Query 1, can you output the documents. I believe one of your records in 'name' has a character in front of it such as white space. I just run the same query locally and it pulled multiple records back.
Try this:
User.where(name/(.*)jo(.*)/i).count and see what that returns. It should match 2. If that works, then you'll need to look at what is incorrect with the store value.
On Query 2, where have you seen this syntax. The $where is expecting a string of a js function to execute to match records. In your case to match any field within the document with an expression you would need to do a recursive function across each field in each document.
For Query 2 to match against all fields
One solution, although inefficient, is to do it within the Rails app instead of Mongodb query.
e.g.
User.all.select do | user | user.attributes.values.grep(/^jo/i).any? end
