I'm trying to create a spreadsheet using Google Sheets.
One of the columns is for longitude values.
Another column is for lattitude values.
However, when I paste either longitude or latitude values into fields, the numeric strings are truncated.
Obviously sheets doesn't take long strings by default.
How can I configure Google Sheets to accept long numeric strings?
you can format it as Plain text and when you need to do math with it you just multiply the text string by 1 co convert it into a numeric value

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 need help on differentiating Integers and Float values in Google Sheets. We are using Google Sheets API for collecting Spreadsheet's data.
When we have 2 columns containing integer values and float values respectively. The API returns their datatype as numberValue. I have attached image for reference below.
API response of a row with 1st column as Integer and 2nd column as Float
It will be very helpful for us if there is any way to differentiate integers and floats.
Thanks.

Please suggest any work around for this ?
Thanks in advance

Select all the cells which are numbers and change the format to numbers (Use the format menu to format as Number). Keep in mind the Spreadsheet settings and locale for the setting of decimal separator (comma or point).
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..")),"")
I have a couple of queries running in Google Sheets via Supermetrics.
These all have a column with the date ('2020-05-26') and a numeric column Cost ('3450')
Sometimes in rerunning these queries one of the rows does not show a date format, but a date formatted as number, e.g. '43976' for 2020-05-25. I am importing the sheets in Big Query, but when importing the date column as a date format, I get an error whenever there is one row formatted as a number.
I tried using an arrayformula in Google Sheets to overcome the formatting issue there, but that does not work since you cannot import a column with aan array formula in Google sheets.
I tried importing the column as a string, that works. Now however, I need to make sure all rows are recognised as a date. I used the following formula to change the string into a date, but again that one row formatted as '43976' will block the whole query.
How do I convert a string column, with both values formatted as a date "2020-05-25" and values formatted as a number '43976' to a date column? Thanks for your help!
Hereby a screenshot; however, the formatting is overwritten by the supermetrics query that is run daily, so just changing the formatting in the column here won't help (it will fix it for this day, but not going forward) - I've tried that already..
