I have 7 criteria = TMO-1 through to TMO-7
I have two scenarios to search from.
i have either got a single excel with TMO-6, TMO-201, TMO-67,... etc (some have a lot of values)
or i have split the cell up so the values are all in individual cells such that [TMO-6][TMO-201][TMO-67] etc
I have tried two equations from each. for the first one (the preferred solution) i have tried:
=IF(IFERROR(SEARCH("TMO-1",AB8),0) > 0, "TMO-1",IF(IFERROR(SEARCH("TMO-2",AB8),0) > 0, "TMO-2", "false"))
the problem with that is it finds anything that starts with TMO-1, so will show true if TMO-12 is in the cell.
For option 2 i tried:
=IF(AB9:AR9=TMO-1, TMO-1, IF(AB9:AR9=TMO-2, TMO-2, IF(AB9:AR9=TMO-3, TMO-3,IF(AB9:AR9=TMO-4, TMO-4, IF(AB9:AR9=TMO-5, TMO-5, IF(AB9:AR9=TMO-6, TMO-6, IF(AB9:AR9=TMO-7, TMO-7, "N/A")))))))
and i get the error #spill
any ideas ?
Assuming:
ms365 (Hence the #SPILL error);
The option between concatenated values or seperated (hence AB8 against AB9:AR9);
All numbers are prepended with TMO-;
You are looking for the 1st match in sequence (1-7);
If no match is found, you want to return "Not Found".
First thing that came to mind is to just keep the comma-seperated data in AB8 and use a simple trick to concatenate the delimiters with the sequence:
=ISNUMBER(FIND("-"&SEQUENCE(7)&",",A1&","))
To put that in practice, try:
Formula in B1:
=IFERROR(MATCH("X",IF(ISNUMBER(FIND("-"&SEQUENCE(7)&",",A1&",")),"X"),0),"Not Found")
Other options:
=#IFERROR(SORT(FILTERXML("<t><s>"&SUBSTITUTE(A1,", ","</s><s>")&"</s></t>","//s[substring(.,5)<8]")),"Not Found")
Or, using the insider BETA-functions:
=LET(X,MIN(--DROP(TEXTSPLIT(A1,"-",", "),,1)),IF(X<8,"TMO-"&X,"Not Found"))
I have been working for several days on this and have researched everything looking for this answer. I'd appreciate any help you can give.
In Excel I am searching a string of text in column A:
Bought 1 HD Sep 3 2021 325.0 Call # 2.75
I am detecting the first word (in this case "Bought") and detecting the last word before "#" symbol (in this case "Call").
I am then detecting the price following the "#" symbol (in this case "2.75"). This number will go into column B (header "Open") or column C (header "Close") depending on the combination of words found:
Sold/Put=Close
Sold/Call=Open
Bought/Put=Open
Bought/Call=Close
Sold (by itself)=Open
Sold (by itself)=Close.
Bought 1 HD Sep 3 2021 325.0 Call # 2.75
The combination found in the above string is: "Bought Call". Therefore the number at the end ("2.75"), goes into "Open" column.
Here's another example:
Sold 4 AI Sep 17 2021 50.0 Put # 1.5
The combination found in the above string is: "Sold Put". Therefore the number at the end ("1.5") goes into "Close" column.
I am currently using this formula to determine if the string contains "Sold" and "Call" and get the desired number and it does work:
=IF(AND(
ISNUMBER(SEARCH({"Sold","Call"},A10))),
TRIM(MID(A10,SEARCH("#",A10)+LEN("#"),255))," ")
But, I don't know how to search for all the other possible combinations.
The point behind this is to be able to paste the transaction from the broker and have most of the entry process automated. I'm sure many will benefit from this as I've not found anything like this.
I'd appreciate any help and if possible, an explanation of the formula so I can better learn.
Thanks!
I think you have the right idea, but would just extend the IF statement.
Something like the below might work for you:
=IF(ISNUMBER(SEARCH("Call", $A1)),
IF(ISNUMBER(SEARCH({"Bought","Sold"}, $A1)),
NUMBERVALUE(RIGHT($A1, LEN($A1)-SEARCH("#", $A1))),""),
IF(ISNUMBER(SEARCH({"!!!","!!!","Bought","Sold"}, $A1)),
NUMBERVALUE(RIGHT($A1, LEN($A1)-SEARCH("#", $A1))),""))
Just enter in column B and drag down; columns B through E should fill as needed.
For example:
Note that the search for "!!!" is just random characters, it can be anything that you don't think has a good chance of appearing in the string.

(requires Office 365 compatible version Excel)
Main lookup
=LET(fn_1,MATCH("*"&$H$7:$H$12&"*",B4,0),fn_2,MATCH("*"&$I$7:$I$12&"*",B4,0),IFERROR(INDEX($J$7:$J$12,MATCH(1,IF($I$7:$I$12="",fn_1*ISNUMBER(fn_2),fn_1*fn_2),0)),))
EDIT:
Other Excel versions:
=IFERROR(INDEX($J$7:$J$12,MATCH(1,IF($I$7:$I$12="",MATCH("*"&$H$7:$H$12&"*",B4,0)*ISNUMBER(MATCH("*"&$I$7:$I$12&"*",B4,0)),MATCH("*"&$H$7:$H$12&"*",B4,0)*MATCH("*"&$I$7:$I$12&"*",B4,0)),0)),)
(all that falls away is the 'Let' formula, replacing fn_1 and fn_2 with respective functions in index formula within the let making first equation somewhat longer, but otherwise identical)
Example applications
Have provided 2 examples of how one might customize to insert numeric in one of the columns (the key part to this question is really how to do lookup in first instance, from thereon it's a matter of finetuning/taking appropriate action)...
Assuming calls/buys are "long" position and strike price go in first col (here, D), and puts/sales are "short" position with strike price going in 2nd col (here, E):
Long - insert strike price col D
=IF(LET(fn_1,MATCH("*"&$H$7:$H$12&"*",B4,0),fn_2,MATCH("*"&$I$7:$I$12&"*",B4,0),IFERROR(INDEX($K$7:$K$12,MATCH(1,IF($I$7:$I$12="",fn_1*ISNUMBER(fn_2),fn_1*fn_2),0)),))=1,MID(SUBSTITUTE(B4," ",""),SEARCH("#",SUBSTITUTE(B4," ",""))+1,LEN(SUBSTITUTE(B4," ",""))),"")
EDIT
Other Excel versions:
=IF(IFERROR(INDEX($K$7:$K$12,MATCH(1,IF($I$7:$I$12="",MATCH("*"&$H$7:$H$12&"*",B4,0)*ISNUMBER(MATCH("*"&$I$7:$I$12&"*",B4,0)),MATCH("*"&$H$7:$H$12&"*",B4,0)*MATCH("*"&$I$7:$I$12&"*",B4,0)),0)),)=1,MID(SUBSTITUTE(B4," ",""),SEARCH("#",SUBSTITUTE(B4," ",""))+1,LEN(SUBSTITUTE(B4," ",""))),"")
Short - insert strike price col E
=IF(LET(fn_1,MATCH("*"&$H$7:$H$12&"*",B4,0),fn_2,MATCH("*"&$I$7:$I$12&"*",B4,0),IFERROR(INDEX($K$7:$K$12,MATCH(1,IF($I$7:$I$12="",fn_1*ISNUMBER(fn_2),fn_1*fn_2),0)),))=2,MID(SUBSTITUTE(B4," ",""),SEARCH("#",SUBSTITUTE(B4," ",""))+1,LEN(SUBSTITUTE(B4," ",""))),"")
EDIT
Other Excel versions:
Follow same routine in previous Edits (remove Let, replace fn_1 & fn_2 with respective formulae...)
Note similarity in all 3 equations above: 2nd and 3rd contain 1st (effectively they just wrap a big old 'if' statement around 1st, use lookup_2 col (here, col K), and use mid/search to extract rate after the hashtag.
Assumes you don't have other hashtags in the sentence..
Customize as required.
This is a slightly more complicated issue than a simple =COUNTIF(rng,"*"&value&"*"), as found here.
I have a 2D array with cells containing data such as:
abc
def
abc def
ghi
abc,def,ghi
abcdef
ghi; def
..... and several other variations of this. I am trying to count exact matches of "abc", but I want the count to be inclusive of cells containing "abc def" and other like variations, however I can't just use the above simple COUNTIF formula since "abcdef" is not an acceptable match. The target string must stand alone or be separated from other text by an acceptable character in chars.
I think I've got this one 90% done, but the bit I need help with is combining all the possible acceptable variations of a target "name" into a flat range that I can then check my data source against for the COUNTIF. I've tried INDEX(r_1:r_8,idxRow,idxCol) and other familiar solutions that work on the sheet when referencing other ranges, but I'm new to using the =LET function. All of this works well when broken out into separate components on my spreadsheet, but I'm looking for a cleaner solution with =LET. See below for current formula:
=LET(rg, DataTable[[Q14_1]:[Q14_9]],
name, AU38,
chars, {" ",",",";"},
r, 8,
r_1, CONCATENATE(name,chars),
r_2, CONCATENATE(chars,name),
r_3, CONCATENATE(chars,name,chars),
r_4, CONCATENATE(name,chars,"*"),
r_5, CONCATENATE("*",chars,name),
r_6, CONCATENATE(chars,name,chars,"*"),
r_7, CONCATENATE("*",chars,name,chars),
r_8, CONCATENATE("*",chars,name,chars,"*"),
c, COUNTA(chars),
mSeq, SEQUENCE(r*c),
idxRow, 1+MOD(mSeq,r),
idxCol, INT((SEQUENCE(r*c)-1)/r)+1,
X, INDEX(**NeedHelpHere**,idxRow,idxCol),
SUM(COUNTIF(rg,name),COUNTIF(rg,X))
)
Give a try on below formula. If you have more delimiter like space, comma & others then you need to use more SUBSTITUTE() function.
=LET(x,FILTERXML("<t><s>"&SUBSTITUTE(SUBSTITUTE(A1:A7," ","</s><s>"),",","</s><s>")&"</s></t>","//s"),y,FILTER(x,x="abc"),SUM(--(y<>"")))
To learn about FILTERXML() please read this article from JvdV.
I've thought about this again and am posting a solution that fits my needs.
I don't need to index a single column of potential matches to then COUNTIF, I can just COUNTIF multiple times. Additionally, I was not taking into account different combinations of chars, I was only searching for the same chars on either side of the target (e.g. ",abc," when I should have also been looking for ",abc;"). Transposing the chars array on one side is a simple way of fixing this. It also turns out that "*"&target&"*" searches for "*target*" AND "target" (duh!), so I simplified further, removing duplicative possibilities.
My final formula is below, which counts the number of times target (by itself or surrounded by any acceptable chars) is present in a given rng:
=LET(rng, DataTable[Q14_1]:[Q14_9]]),
name, $A6,
chars, {" " , "," , ";"},
r_1, CONCATENATE(name,chars,"*"),
r_2, CONCATENATE("*",chars,name),
r_3, CONCATENATE("*",chars,name,TRANSPOSE(chars),"*"),
SUM(COUNTIF(rng,name),COUNTIF(rng,r_1),COUNTIF(rng,r_2),COUNTIF(rng,r_3))
)
This is an exmaple of the string, and it can be longer
1160752 Meranji Oil Sats -Mt(MA) (000600007056 0001), PE:Toolachee Gas Sats -Mt(MA) (000600007070 0003)GL: Contract Services (510000), COT: Network (N), CO: OM-A00009.0723,Oil Sats -Mt(MA) (000600007053 0003)
The result needs to be column1 600007056 column2 600007070 column3 600007053
I am working in Spotfire and creating calclated columns through transformations as I need the columns to join to other data sets
I have tried the below, but it is only picking up the 1st 600.. number not the others, and there can be an undefined amount of those.
Account is the column with the string
Mid([Account],
Find("(000",[Account]) + Len("(000"),
Find("0001)",[Account]) - Find("(000",[Account]) - Len("(000"))
Thank you!
Assuming my guess is correct, and the pattern to look for is:
9 numbers, starting with 6, preceded by 1 opening parenthesis and 3 zeros, followed by a space, 4 numbers and a closing parenthesis
you can grab individual occurrences by:
column1: RXExtract([Amount],'(?<=\\(000)6\\d{8}(?=\\s\\d{4}\\))',1)
column2: RXExtract([Amount],'(?<=\\(000)6\\d{8}(?=\\s\\d{4}\\))',2)
etc.
The tricky bit is to find how many columns to define, as you say there can be many. One way to know would be to first calculate a max number of occurrences like this:
maxn: Max((Len([Amount]) - Len(RXReplace([Amount],'(?<=\\(000)6\\d{8}(?=\\s\\d{4}\\))','','g'))) / 9)
still assuming the number of digits in each column to extract is 9. This compares the length of the original [Amount] to the one with the extracted patterns replaced by an empty string, divided by 9.
Then you know you can define up to maxn columns, the extra ones for the rows with fewer instances will be empty.
Note that Spotfire always wants two back-slash for escaping (I had to add more to the editor to make it render correctly, I hope I have not missed any).
This question relates to the Schematiq add-in for Microsoft Excel.
Using =tbl.Lookup(table, columnsToSearch, valuesToFind, resultColumn, [defaultValue]) the values in the valuesToFind column have a consistent 3 characters to the left and then varying characters after (e.g. 908-123456 or 908-321654 - i.e. 908 is always consistent)
How can I tell the function to lookup the value based on the first 3 characters only? The expected answer should be the sum of the results of the above, i.e. 500 + 300 = 800
tbl.Lookup() works by looking for an exact match - this helps ensure it's fast but in this case it means you need an extra step to calculate a column of lookup values, something like this:
A2: =tbl.CalculateColumn(A1, "code", "x => LEFT(x, 3)", "startOfCode")
This will give you a new column that you can use for the columnsToSearch argument, however tbl.Lookup() also looks for just one match - it doesn't know how to combine values together if there is more than one matching row in the table, so I think you also need one more step to group your table by the first 3 chars of the code, like this:
A3: =tbl.Group(A2, "startOfCode", "amount")
Because tbl.Group() adds values together by default, this will give you a table with a row for each distinct value of startOfCode and the subtotal of amount for each of those values. Finally, you can do the lookup exactly as you requested, which for your input table will return 800:
A4: =tbl.Lookup(A3, "startOfCode", "908", "amount")
