When I use ="""" & TEXT("1468", "# ###") & """", "1 468" is returned. Perfect.
However, once 4 digits become 3 digits, I get an empty space at the beginning. " 468". Not perfect.
enter image description here
What text format can I use to avoid that empty space?
Just wrap the inner portion in TRIM( ):
="""" & TRIM(TEXT("468", "# ###")) & """"
TRIM removes superfluous leading, trailing and interposed space characters.

When I do "resize column → fit to data" then this action doesn't align the words as required. The words break into parts. For example, a cell has this content : "cash back maximum". Each word is in an individual line within that cell. So there are 3 lines. Something like this :
cash
back
maximum
But after I do "resize column - fit to data" the cell content becomes "cash back maximu m". The last letter "m" breaks apart and moves down & now there are 4 lines. Something like this :
cash
back
maximu
m
How do I avoid this? I want words to remain entact. "Maximum" shouldn't break into "maximu" & "m". Ofcourse I can manually adjust column width to make the word entact / whole again but I wish there was a quick automatic command or formula or shortcut to do this.
This should be what it currently looks like for you.
You can drag the cell "border" to increase the width, to allow all text to fit.
You can double click a "border" to get it to fit to the longest text.
I am trying to split this number that is in one cell of its own in I2: 0000320193-20-000096
However, when I use the formula '=split(I2, "-")', it gives me three cells with the following: "320193" , "20" , "96".
I need the zeroes behind each number to stay with each number, I just need the hyphens to be removed and each separate number to be in their own cells.
I have tried '=split(I2, "'-")'; however, this does not work either.
In addition, all the cells are formatted to be "plain text."
I can make it work if I use the "split by column" tool; however, it's tedious and removes the surrounding text to I2, which I need.
How can I change this formula to keep the zeroes in front of each number?
Thanks!
Try this:
=ARRAYFORMULA(SUBSTITUTE(SPLIT("'"&I2&"'", "-"), "'", ""))
This will append apostrophe in the beginning and end of cell I2 to avoid auto formatting and since SPLIT return an array, we need ARRAYFORMULA to apply the SUBSTITUTE to all array element.
Output:
References:
SUBSTITUTE
ARRAYFORMULA
SPLIT
try:
=INDEX(REGEXEXTRACT(SPLIT("'"&SUBSTITUTE(A1, "-", "'-'")&"'", "-"), "(.*)'"))
Use regexextract(), like this:
=regexextract(I2, "(\d+)-(\d+)-(\d+)")
I am inserting the following into cell A1 - generate a QR code from the text in both B1 and B2:
=image("https://chart.googleapis.com/chart?chs=150x150&cht=qr&chl=" & B1 & "%0A" & B2)
An example might be
B1= TAG
B2= 000000501
I am using a formula for other cells to add one to create an automatic number sequence based on the first value (e.g., B4=SUM(B2+1); B6=SUM(B4+1), etc.).
I would like the resultant QR scan to read "TAG000000501", but the leading zeros are not displayed (e.g., "TAG501". I know how to have the leading zeros displayed regularly by inserting an ' at the beginning of the number, or by changing the cell type to text or a special format with those six leading zeros. It seems the formula forces it to be a number in the API, which results in dropping the zeros.
Any ideas?
Thanks much for your time!
Try this:
=image("https://chart.googleapis.com/chart?chs=150x150&cht=qr&chl=" & CONCAT(B1;REPT("0";9-LEN(B2));B2))
Say...
cell 1 contains this text: 03400561, 1995-12-31
I need a way to split this cell into 2 raw text columns". i.e.
My expected/wanted output: cell 2 = 03400561 (as text) and cell 3 = 1995-12-31 (as text)
If I use the split function to do this (e.g. cell 2 = split(cell1,",")), it removes leading zero, and convert the yyyy-mm-dd text into a google date. I do not wish to have this conversion to take place. i.e. I just wanted straight and simple split a text, into columns of text (not numbers. not dates).
How do I do this out of the box? (I've tried google around but no luck). Is this even possible?
Side note: the "Data" => "Split text into columns" approach - no luck. It converts all numeric-like texts into numbers, and date-like texts into dates. I wish to have raw text throughout and no conversion like this to happen. How to do this?
Ugly as hell, but seems to work on your example. Basically enclose the separator with double quotation marks to force sheets into interpreting the data as text. Then remove them and use arrayformula() to cover all the columns:
=arrayformula(substitute(SPLIT(char(34)&substitute(U19,",",char(34)&","&char(34))&char(34),",",true,false),char(34),""))
CHAR(34) evaluates to double quotation (i.e. ") to signify text entry. Just be aware that the second variable includes a leading space (' 1995-12-31')
I want to remove white spaces present inside the array values
(I have scor=["1 "," 1"]). Here, first value has white space on right and second value has white space on left. How to remove those white spaces in neo4j?
The cyper has a rich set of functions for working with strings.
In your case, you need the trim function:
UNWIND ["1", "2 ", " 3", " 4 "] as e
RETURN trim(e)
