I am using Supermetrics to pull Facebook Ad Set Targeting data. But within the massive block of text that is generated, I need to filter it down to just the Excluded Custom Audience text.
This is one example of the Ad Set Targeting text:
{"age_max":65,"age_min":18,"app_install_state":"not_installed","**excluded_custom_audiences":[{"id":"6054936712957","name":"ios devices"},{"id":"6054936847157","name":"android devices"},{"id":"6131431891357","name":"People who used your app: OfferUp"},{"id":"6247466972157","name":"Exclusions.Android"},{"id":"6247467469757","name":"Exclusions.iOS"}]**,"geo_locations":{"countries":["US"],"location_types":["home","recent"]},"locales":[24,6],"targeting_optimization":"expansion_all","user_device":["Android_Smartphone","Android_Tablet"],"user_os":["Android"],"brand_safety_content_filter_levels":["FACEBOOK_STANDARD","AN_STANDARD"]}.
And I need to extract just the bolded text. Geo_location does not consistently follow Excluded_custom_audiences, so that can't be used.
Try the following:
=RegexExtract(A1,"""excluded_custom_audiences"":.*?]")
It translates to: extract everything (from A1) starting from "excluded_custom_audiences": up to the next occurence of ].
try:
=ARRAYFORMULA(REGEXREPLACE(SPLIT(FLATTEN(SPLIT(REGEXEXTRACT(A1,
"""excluded_custom_audiences"":\[(.*?)\]"), ",")), ":"), "\{|\}|""", ))

I'm trying to remove a piece of text (Perfomance) from a column in Google Spreadsheet that contains (XX Performance) XX is a number like 89. I'm using:
=REGEXREPLACE(D:D, " Performance "," - ")
But no love...
enter image description here
Try this Example Sheet
=ArrayFormula(IF(D2:D="",, REGEXEXTRACT(D2:D, "[0-9]+")))
You can use the expression \D+:
\D matches any character that's not a digit (equivalent to [^0-9])
+ matches the previous token between one and unlimited times, as many times as possible, giving back as needed
The formula will be like:
=REGEXREPLACE(D:D, "\D+","")
UPDATE
I did put it in another column otherwise it creates a circular dependency. The data is imported via API from another app.
Then you will need to create another sheet or use a hidden column to put that information and then use the regex on the column you want the final result.
So I have a document with 30k+ emails. The probleme is, during the export random characters appeared after the emails, something like name#email.com2019-10-10T0545152019-10-10T054515f or name#email.com00000000000700392019-11-28T070033f
My question is, how do i remove everything after ".com" or ".fr" in all the cells ?
You could try using REGEXREPLACE.
=REGEXREPLACE(A1,"\.com.*|\.fr.*", "")
Try
=REGEXEXTRACT(A1,".+\.com|.+\.fr")
Working from what other people added, you can get all emails from the column A and use regular expressions to get the values. Using ARRAYFORMULA you can do it in a single formula:
=ARRAYFORMULA(IF(A:A<>""; REGEXEXTRACT(A:A; ".+\.(?:com|fr)"); ""))
Rundown
ARRAYFORMULA allows to execute the formula to the entire column
REGEXEXTRACT extracts part of the string using regular expressions
IF conditional. In this case it's used to no execute when the cell is empty, preventing an error.

Supposing your raw-data email list were in A2:A, try this in, Row 2 of an otherwise empty column (e.g., B2):
=ArrayFormula(IF(A2:A="",,REGEXEXTRACT(A2:A,"^.+\.\D+")))
In plain English, this means "Extract everything up to the last dot found that is followed by some number of non-digits."
This should pull up to any suffix (e.g., .com, .co, .biz, .org, .ma.gov, etc.).
I have a cell that contains a number range, say 50-60 that I would like to apply custom number formatting to. Ideally, I'd like to be able to format that to output 50Hz-60Hz.
The syntax that works for a regular integer is #"Hz", but I can't find an in-built way to do this for dashed ranges, and I suspect it isn't possible.
Answer:
As you suspected, this isn't possible to do.
More Information:
As Tanaike has said in his above comment, the cell input 50-60 is a string - purely read as text as it contains the - character. Resultantly, Sheets does not have the functionality to use Number formatting to change the way this is displayed.
(Kind of) Workarounds:
Disclaimer: These suggestions are not perfect workarounds and depending on how the data in the cells is processed elsewhere in the sheet, these may not work. They do however provide solutions if you are looking to affect the UI only.
Workaround 1: Using a custom Number Format
You can use the format ##"Hz-"##"Hz" which will display 50Hz-60Hz for the example you give, if the input of the cell is 5060 rather than 50-60. You will however need to change the format to contain three # characters if the frequency range of the cell goes above 100:
##"Hz-"##"Hz" will make the number 5060 display as 50Hz-60Hz
###"Hz-"###"Hz" will make the number 120130 display as 120Hz-130Hz
####"Hz-"####"Hz" will make the number 14201430 display as 1420Hz-1430Hz
Workaround 2: Using an onEdit(e) Trigger
If inputting the - yourself is important, then you can use an onEdit() Apps Script trigger to change the format of the cell to include the Hz unit after-the-fact.
For this workaround, I will assume that the column your frequency ranges are in is column C.
From the Tools > Script editor menu item, you can create a function with the following code:
function onEdit(e) {
if (e.range.getColumn() != 3) {
return;
}
else {
var f = e.value.split("-");
e.range.setValue(f = f[0] + "Hz-" + f[1] + "Hz");
}
}
Make sure to change the value on the line if (e.range.getColumn() != 3) to be whichever column your frequency ranges are: this example uses the value 3 because the column is assumed to be column C, but column D would be 4, E would be 5, etc.
Save the script with the save icon, press the run button (►), and confirm the authentication of running the script.
This will automatically run whenever a value like 50-60 is inputted into column C, and will change to display 50Hz-60Hz instead.
Workaround 3: Using a Custom Function
Google Sheets allow you to write custom formulae that work in a similar way to the built in formulae like =SUM() or =COUNT().
Following the same steps as in workaround 2 to open the Script editor, create the following function:
function hertzify(f) {
f = f.split("-");
return f[0] + "Hz-" + f[1] + "Hz";
}
This does a similar thing as workaround 2, but instead of automatically changing the values of whatever is in a specific column, you call the function by entering the following formula in a cell:
=HERTZIFY("50-60")
This will change the cell's display value to 50Hz-60Hz like before.
You can also use this on other cells; for example if cell C3 has the text 120-130 and in cell D3 you input =HERTZIFY(C3), then D3 will display 120Hz-130Hz.
Feature Request:
As the above workarounds either process the cell data as if they are text or require the number to be formatted in a specific way, they might not be perfect workarounds for all situations.
In this case I suggest filing a feature request with Google for the ability to define a number format for a range of values in a specific cell.
You can do this by either following the Help > Report a problem menu item from the Google Sheets user interface, or make a feature request on Google's Issue Tracker asking to implement this as a feature. The link to the Issue Tracker is here

I'm trying to run this command
=QUERY( ImportRange( "1GPxWbG1B8WWXWgam-qJXstDCZ_TB0btQwTxwt9iaa8A" ,
"C_Detailed" ) , "select B where A = '"&Sheet3!$A$2&"'")
But I get an Error:
Unable to parse query string for Function QUERY parameter 2:
NO_COLUMNB
I also tried to call it as the column title (date), but it has no effect.
I can't use vlookup because I have to check the equality between dates.
As for it- how do I check equality between dates of format dd/mm/yyyy?
I have been reading multiple websites, and I have discovered that if you are using the new Google Sheets, you must use the entire link when you are calling for the URL in the first part of your formula. Also, you may want to make your spreadsheet so that people trying to help you can view the document. You can do this by going into sharing settings > advanced > Click Change (where it says specific people can access) > change to people anywhere on the web can find and view.
I have a column like this:
What devices will you be using?
iPad
Kindle & iPad
No Tablet
iPad
iPad & Windows
How do I count the amount of people that said iPad?
This formula does work for exact matches but not if it contains an additional value:
=(COUNTIF(A2:A51,"=iPad")/COUNTA(A2:A51))*1
Any Suggestions?
It will likely have been solved by now, but I ran accross this and figured to give my input
=COUNTIF(a2:a51;"*iPad*")
The important thing is that separating parameters in google docs is using a ; and not a ,
In case someone is still looking for the answer, this worked for me:
=COUNTIF(A2:A51, "*" & B1 & "*")
B1 containing the iPad string.
You should use
=COUNTIF(A2:A51, "*iPad*")/COUNTA(A2:A51)
Additionally, if you wanted to count more than one element, like iPads OR Kindles, you would use
=SUM(COUNTIF(A2:A51, {"*iPad*", "*kindle*"}))/COUNTA(A2:A51)
in the numerator.
Try using wildcards directly in the COUNTIF function :
=(COUNTIF(A2:A51,"=*iPad*")/COUNTA(A2:A51))*1
Wildcards worked for me when the string I was searching for could be entered manually. However, I wanted to store this string in another cell and refer to it. I couldn't figure out how to do this with wildcards so I ended up doing the following:
A1 is the cell containing my search string.
B and C are the columns within which I want to count the number of instances of A1, including within strings:
=COUNTIF(ARRAYFORMULA(ISNUMBER(SEARCH(A1, B:C))), TRUE)
I had similar problem however the various count solutions still wouldn't work even with wildcards of "*"& etc..... My problem was caused by &nbsb (hidden spaces) which is hidden in the background when copying eg data from a webpage. This prevents the find from working properly. Use:
=TRIM(SUBSTITUTE(A2, CHAR(160), " "))
or
=TRIM(SUBSTITUTE(A2,CHAR(160),CHAR(32)))
or similar to get rid of them.
Try just =COUNTIF(A2:A51,"iPad")
