Is there a way to figure out when "m" is month and when it is minute in Excel's TEXT(...) function? For example, the simplest example is m/d (month/day) as opposed to m:s (minute:second). How is this disambiguated in Excel?
Reference: https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/office/text-function-20d5ac4d-7b94-49fd-bb38-93d29371225c

There is a note clarifying this the document Number format codes, at the start of the section Dates and times
Important: If you use the "m" or "mm" code immediately after the "h" or "hh" code (for hours) or immediately before the "ss" code (for seconds), Excel displays minutes instead of the month.

Is there a way to know...
imho : if m is alone OR is there with d or y, its month. ,if m is there with s or h, its minute.

What would be the cron expression for "nth second of every minute"?
For example, for every 5th second of every minute, the cron would run at 1:00:05, 1:01:05, 1:02:05 and so on.. 24x7.
I could not find any documentation for achieving this.
Thanks in advance!
This functionality is not available out of the box. What you could do is prepend your command with sleep, so it would be:
sleep 5 && /app/script.sh
Figured it out. The cron expression would be.
5 * 0 ? * *

I have list of 10000 words and I want to remove the "s" from end of each word.
Clocks
Bracket Clocks
Wall Clocks
Wardrobes
Does anyone know a formula to do this? Thank you.
This will remove the last character of the string if it's an "s" and leave it as-is otherwise:
=IF(RIGHT(C1,1)="s",LEFT(C1,LEN(C1)-1),C1)
Where your words are in column C.
Excel function, assuming data is in column C:
=LEFT(C1,LEN(C1)-1)

How to calculate the average of the 80 percentile to 100 percentile of a column, I try to use the averageif() functions, but it only support the condition ">1" instead of a formula condition >percentile(A1:A100,80)
Your formula is almost correct. Just some minor syntax issues. Try:
=AVERAGEIF(A1:A100,">"&PERCENTILE(A1:A100,80%))

I am beginner in Excel. I have a workbook in which the formula column is defined as
=+TEXT($A36,"mmm"), but even if I give =Text($A36,"mmm")
it is returning the Month.
What is the difference in using =+ and + in Excel?
Will it changes the functionality in any ways?
This is simply a legacy way of doing it. From Lotus 123 I believe. It makes absolutely no difference to the functionality.
There is no difference. It's the exact same thing.
It comes from an old syntax used in Lotus

I have a spreadsheet that looks like that:
I want to get the distinct sections, in fact the distinct first string from the section colume. I tried advanced filters however, this only gives me the whole string. Is there a excel formula to check the columes just for the first string?(Like here: bla, blub, bla1, bla2, blue)
I appreciate your answer!
In Excel, add a new column with:
=LEFT(B2,FIND(" ",B2))
that will give you the list of first words; after that you can use filters.
