How can complex numbers be formatted in Google sheets? If for instance I have the following complex number in a cell, with both real and imaginary part too long for my needs,
=COMPLEX(1.23456789, 0.987654321)
which would be displayed as
1.23456789+0.987654321i
where is the format accessible so that it is displayed as in the following?
1.23+0.99i
this maybe:
=COMPLEX(ROUND(1.23456789,2), ROUND(0.987654321,2))

I am making a calculator in Google sheets and I would like to find a formula or script or something that will allow me to read the value of a certain square and add the formula "=sum(C5:C9)" or "=product(C5:C9)" or whichever depending on what the person puts in C4. Not sure if this is possible in google sheets (without custom code), but if it is, that would be great!
try:
=IF(C4="*"; PRODUCT(C5:C9); SUM(C5:C9))
When I use the same formula =VALUE(SUBSTITUTE(INDEX(SPLIT(A2,"€"),1),",".")) and the same input text 17,70 € in different sheets within the same Google sheet, I get different results. Why?

It's difficult to know for sure without seeing the sheets, but it's probably down to one of the values being formatted as a number and the other as text.
Alternatively, it might be a difference in the 'locale' setting if you have two different sheets.
I am trying to make this formula work for a mixture of text and numbers. It works for text that contain 4 numbers only. How can I manipule this to match specific words e.g Text Text 50 or even random 2020 text.
I need to hardcode the words into the formula or using INDIRECT cell reference.
The formula I got.
=ArrayFormula(IF(A:A="",,TRIM(IFERROR(REGEXEXTRACT(A:A,"^([øa-zA-Z-\/ ]+)"))&IFERROR(REGEXEXTRACT(A:A," [0-9]{4}")))))
I simpler terms I want the formula to extract these specific words as they are without trimming them. This formula works for other strings except ones that are a mixture of numbers and text.
I tried to edit my formula like this but I wasn't successful.
=ArrayFormula(IF(A:A="",,TRIM(IFERROR(REGEXEXTRACT(A:A,"^([[:Text Text 50:]][[:random 2020 text:]][øa-zA-Z-\/ ]+)"))&IFERROR(REGEXEXTRACT(A:A," [0-9]{4}")))))

If you enter the texts you are looking for in a separate column (say into E1:E3), you can use this formula:
=IFERROR(ArrayFormula(REGEXEXTRACT(A:A,JOIN("|",E1:E3))),"")
If you want hardcode, just use:
=IFERROR(ArrayFormula(REGEXEXTRACT(A:A,"AC Reggiana 1919|B93 Copenhagen|Etar 1924 Veliko T..")),"")
In Google Sheets, TEXT() can format numbers but I cannot find one for strings.
For example,
TEXT(012345678,"00-000-0000")
formats the number into
01-234-5678
I want to do a similar thing but with strings, like:
AABCDEEEF to AA-BCD-EEEF
I guess using several functions can yield the same result but I want to know if there is a simple method, like TEXT().
I believe your goal as follows.
You want to convert AABCDEEEF to AA-BCD-EEEF.
How about this sample formula?
Sample formula:
=ARRAYFORMULA(REGEXREPLACE(A1:A5,"(.{2})(.{3})(.{4})","$1-$2-$3"))
In this case, I used REGEXREPLACE.
When you want to use only one cell, please use REGEXREPLACE(A1,"(.{2})(.{3})(.{4})","$1-$2-$3")
Result:
Reference:
REGEXREPLACE
I have been looking for a solution to convert a database I have with HTML formatting in one of the columns to its "normal" text equivalency in google sheets. A lot of the solutions I've found dealt with writing programs to do this or using Excel, so they unfortunately didn't pertain well enough.
For example in one of my columns I have;
Fast (<i> This character deals damage before non-<b>Fast</b> characters in combat.</i>)
But I would like to be able to have a somewhat streamlined solution to convert the above to:
Fast (This character deals damage before non-Fast characters in combat.)
AFAIK, with Google Sheet API, you can only format text within a cell. As mentioned in documentation, conditional formatting lets you format cells so that their appearance changes dynamically according to the value they contain, or to values in other cells.
