I'm using the tabulator package to try to turn a Google Spreadsheet into a readable/ filterable/ searchable table for a website.
The spreadsheet we are trying to format has fields with a large amount of text (some paragraphs and some bullet-points).
The tabulator package by default does not wrap text within each cell. The entire paragraph of text appears as a single line which runs on horizontally.
Is there a way to limit the width of the table, and to wrap text within each cell?
You need to use the textarea formatter on a column if you want the text to wrap in the cell
in the column definition for the cell
{title:"Long Text Column", field:"longtext", formatter:"textarea"},
The Formatting Documentation includes descriptions and examples of all the built-in formatters.
There are numerous ways to layout the columns, to either fit the data they contain or fit the table. the Layout Documentation includes detailed explanations and examples of the ways to layout the table.
If you are looking to set the width in px on a specific column, this can be done using the width property in the column definition:
{title:"Long Text Column", field:"longtext", formatter:"textarea", width:100},

How can I draw a chart as shown using MS Excel 2016? My sample data is
I have tried conditional formatting using MOD(ROW(),2) to highlight even and odd rows then print them in overlapping manner, but things turned messy. There will be two striped bars, one for each column.
Found at last. I need to select each column and from the format option, colour icon , substitute the solid colour with textured colour by selecting the base colour and texture type. Repeat for every column. Never explored beyond the default values in excel so far. Still need to learn a lot. 😅
I am attempting to pivot some data using Excel; however, the text (non-numeric) values are being converted to zero (0). The format of the cells of the entire worksheet are in Text; I have tried other formats including all cells as General, and a variety of combinations involving both formats. The actual values (including both text and numeric) are visible when selecting the little down arrow that appears to the right of Value when the mouse-pointer hovers over it in the Fields Section to the right of the main field.
What must I do to get the text values to appear?
If there is no more than one value for each Group/Column pair, and if you have Excel 2010 or later, you can use Get & Transform or Power Query to Pivot the Name column and chose the Do Not Aggregatge option.
If you have multiple entries for each Group/Column pair, you will need a different solution.
I have an excel file that contains 6 different sheets and every sheet contains some cells that there's text value inside them.
Now, I want to draw a chart that shows how many times a string was revealed in a larger string.
As much as I could find in google search, excel will draw charts based on numeric values,
So, I need to know is there a way that draw a chart based on text with my criteria?
Thanks in advance
UPDATE :
Assume that I have values like this:
And I need to know how many times a string appeared in B cells for every program.
And What if program name was in another sheet and string col was in someone else.?
No, Excel cannot chart anything based on text. You need numbers. In order to get these numbers you can apply different techniques, like formulas or VBA to analyse the text and produce the respective numbers. If you need more detail, provide more detail about your data.
Edit after question update: Consider this screenshot
the formula in C2 is
=ISNUMBER(SEARCH($G$1,B2))*1
The table in columns F and G is a pivot table with "Program" dragged to the rows area and "found" dragged to the values area and set to sum. This table can be used for charting.
If the program and the string are in two different sheets, you can still use formulas to construct a data source for the pivot table.
Is there a way to filter Excel tables similar to how Access queries can filter fields with OR operators?
E.g. I have the following table:
I want to list all items with the Messis aspect. In Access, one would make a query with Messis OR Messis OR Messis.. each in the following line or with OR in between. I would like to do something similar in Excel...
If I understand your question correctly, you want to find the row(s) where text X appears in any one of several columns. To do this, consider adding a column that is the concatenation of each column. Then use the column filter to select rows that contain text X.
An example:
For Column 6:

Alternate answer
If, on the other hand, you want the OR statement for a single column, you can use the OR feature of the AutoFilter. If that doesn't appeal to you, you can use add a range outside of the table that includes has the text of a column in its first cell. Put the possible text options in the cells immediately below. Here's a picture:
Then, with the cursor in your table, click on Data, Advanced and complete the dialog box as shown.
Click on OK to see:
I have a data table, and this corresponding pivot table:
For each row in the pivot table, I'd like to know which field the row label refers to. So for the highlighted orange cell C17, I would like to return "First Name" (as you can see by hovering over cell A17).
I have some constraints that mean I need to use the pivot table in compact form. It would be easy if I could just use an outline or tabular layout, but I'm restricted to using a single column for my row labels.
Any ideas please? I'm happy to take solutions using either VBA or built-in Excel functions. Thanks!
In the highlighted cell, use the following formula: =IF(ISNA(MATCH(A17,$A$2:$A$7,0)),$B$1,$A$1)
This will work unless the Last Name also is a First Name that appears in your list.
