I am working with Google Sheets. I want to build a custom function that adds 5 cells together. This code worked just fine:
function addData(a,b,c,d,e){
return a+b+c+d+e
}
When I put the values: 80,80,80,80,80...I appropriately get 400.
The problem happens when one of the cells in empty. When I have the values:
___,80,80,80,80 I get 80808080
80,___,80,80,80 I get 808080
80,80,___,80,80 I get 16080
80,80,80,___,80 I get 24080
80,80,80,80,___ I get 320 <--- correct answer
The function appears to add correctly until it hits an empty cell and then just tacks on the remaining values instead of continuing to add them.
I am very new to JavaScripting so I really do not know where to begin my research. Any help would be greatly appreciated. I asked this question before but I feel like this is more concise as to what I am trying to accomplish.
you get different results because each column has different format
try to convert string type to integer
or let script like that and change the column format to number
function addData(a,b,c,d,e){
return parseInt(a)+parseInt(b) +parseInt(c) +parseInt(d) +parseInt(e)
}

I'm currently interested in building a custom function/formula in Google Spreadsheet where the function will intake a cell and return a value that is related to a specific text in a list.
As you can see in the screenshot, which is a demo that I drafted to give a better idea of what I'm trying to accomplish, column A contains a list of items that has random texts. In the texts, there are some keywords that I would like to identify into different categories.
Column B is just a demo of how I envision to use my custom function that I want to create. Column C is the expected result that I would get by using the custom function.
Column E is the list of keywords that I would like the custom function to search for in cells and Column F is the category that I would like the custom function to return once it finds the relevant keyword in a text.
Thank you!
I tried searching for this topic, but I only came across how to set up an array formula to achieve what I want to do. If there was any post about this, I would really appreciate if you could just link it in the comment.
Given your scenario, you can try with this formula:
=FILTER(F:F,INDEX(REGEXMATCH(A2,"(?i)"&E:E)),E:E<>"")
If you wish to have it for the whole row:
=BYROW(A2:A,LAMBDA(each,IF(each="","",FILTER(F:F,INDEX(REGEXMATCH(each,"(?i)"&E:E)),E:E<>""))))
If you could have more than one result, you can add JOIN:
=BYROW(A2:A,LAMBDA(each,IF(each="","",JOIN(", ",FILTER(F:F,INDEX(REGEXMATCH(each,"(?i)"&E:E)),E:E<>"")))))
Im sorry I dont even know how to correctly phrase this question.
The line of code I need to edit is this;
sheet.getRange(targetcell).setValue('=INDEX(QUERY(IMPORTHTML("http://www.futbin.com/consumables/Position%20Change","table",2),"select Col2"),1)');
However instead of row 1, I want to use the value from cell G1. So, something like this;
sheet.getRange(targetcell).setValue('=INDEX(QUERY(IMPORTHTML("http://www.futbin.com/consumables/Position%20Change","table",2),"select Col2"),G1)');
However, this throws an error.
Could anyone advise how I can use the value in G1 instead of it being fixed?
Thank you.
Try .setFormula instead of .setValue ...
sheet.getRange(targetcell).setFormula('=INDEX(QUERY(IMPORTHTML("http://www.futbin.com/consumables/Position%20Change","table",2),"select Col2"),G1)');
If there were a column G from the table that results from that IMPORTHTML function then you would use this:
sheet.getRange(targetcell).setValue('=INDEX(QUERY(IMPORTHTML("http://www.futbin.com/consumables/Position%20Change","table",2),"select Col7"),1)');
Because G is column 7
However, there is only 3 columns from that IMPORTHTML. You can check this by entering the formular into a Google Sheet:
=IMPORTHTML("http://www.futbin.com/consumables/Position%20Change","table",2)
I suggest playing around with your formula in SHeets and once you've got what you want, go back into AppsScript.
I'm trying to use a function to get the hexadecimal code of the cell background and concatenate it with the text contained in the same cell.
i.e. in sht1.cell(A1) I type "Hello" with red background, I would have in sht2.cell(A1) the following text: "[#FF0000]Hello"
I was trying this:
function getHexValue(range) {
return SpreadsheetApp.getActiveSheet().getRange(range).getBackground();
}
but it doesn't always work, especially if I share the file. I tried to setup some triggers using edit, change or open events but id keeps not updating
this is what i tried to do.
Any suggestion?
If I type: =gethexvalue("A5") I get the color code, if I type the formula to another cell or another sheet and I update the values or reload the sheet it doesn't work.
In your formula =gethexvalue("A5"), "A5" is text, not a dynamic range.
Read How to pass a range into a custom function in Google Spreadsheets? for a full discussion and 11 different answers. This is itself a possible duplicate of passing cell references to spreadsheet functions.
This =getHexValue(ADDRESS(ROW(A1), COLUMN(A1)))&A1 is dynamic. It will return:
"#ff0000Hello"
. If you want the hex in Uppercase, then use UPPER with getHexvalue.
I want my spreadsheet user to be able to choose between two different options for an array formula. I have tried to put it in an IF statement but I can't get it to work. I do not want to cut and paste it down the column because I want it to be applies when a new row is added. I don't really know what I'm doing but I've been fiddling with it for a couple of hours now. Here is the code I currently have:
=IF($B$6="alternating days",ARRAYFORMULA(IF(ISBLANK(indirect("OVERVIEW!$A" & row())),IF($C2:C="l","l","d"),IF($C2:C="l","d","l"))),IF($B$6="weekdays/weekends",ARRAYFORMULA(IF(ISBLANK(indirect("OVERVIEW!$A" & row())),IF($C2:C="l","l","d"),IF(OR(WEEKDAY
(indirect("OVERVIEW!$A" & row()))=1,WEEKDAY(indirect("OVERVIEW!$A" & row()))=7),"l","d"))),"none"))
It's a long formula so please scroll along.
I attempted to have the ARRAYFORMULA at the beginning but it wouldn't let me reference just $B$6.
Thanks for any help you can provide.
I recommend something like this:
=ARRAYFORMULA(IF($B$6="alternating days",if(isodd(row(indirect("C4:C"&counta(OVERVIEW!A3:A)+3))),"l","d"),IF($B$6="weekdays/weekends",ARRAYFORMULA(IF(WEEKDAY(OVERVIEW!A3:A)=1,"d",if(WEEKDAY(OVERVIEW!A3:A)=7,"d","l"))))))
If the days are alternating, use odd rows to alternate the letter, otherwise just combine 2 IF statements to determine if it is a weekday or not.
Currently the data in field is coming like this 9646.88 and my requirement is
Remove decimal places and add comma for thousands e.g. 9,646
=IIF((RTRIM(Fields!COMPANY_NAME.Value))="VACANT","",Fields!BASE_RENT_PM.Value)
Please help, I am a newbie in SSRS.
Go to Properties pane when you select the textbox.
Then put this on Format property
#,0;(#,0)
Using Common Functions such as Text and Conversion functions shown in Expression window will give you the desired result.
For e.g,
Format(Int(9646.88), "#,###") // try "#,##0" which returns 0 if less than 1
where Int(9646.88) returns the integer portion of the number 9646 and Format(9646,"#,###") returns a string formatted according to instructions contained in a format String expression "#,###" which is a thousand seperator. Thus, it will give you "9,646".
So, in your case, try this,
=IIF(RTRIM(Fields!COMPANY_NAME.Value)="VACANT", "", Format(Int(Fields!BASE_RENT_PM.Value),"#,###"))
Note:
Format(9646.88, "#,###") will return a rounded result 9,647 and
Format("VACANT", "#,###") returns just "#,###",
none of which may not be your desired result.
Have your Tried this?
=FORMAT(IIF((RTRIM(Fields!COMPANY_NAME.Value))="VACANT","",Fields!BASE_RENT_PM.Value),"#,###")
Should solve your issue.
Kind Regards
To add comma for thousands, you need to change your expression.
If you need output as 9,646 then try below.
=IIF(RTRIM(Fields!COMPANY_NAME.Value)="VACANT","",Format(Convert.ToInt32(Int(Fields!BASE_RENT_PM.Value),"#,0;(#,0)")))
OR
=IIF(RTRIM(Fields!COMPANY_NAME.Value)="VACANT","",Format(CInt(Int(Fields!BASE_RENT_PM.Value),"#,0;(#,0)")))
Updated Answer:
As you want to handle null values as well I would suggest below way to achieve your goal.
Set Textbox visibility with below expression.
=IIF(ISNOTHING(Fields!BASE_RENT_PM.Value),True,False)
So if null value is there then it will show blank in the ssrs report.
