I am trying to build a URL in a cell (google sheets) which will get some of its values from different cells. I have tried using all different ways I can think of like concatenate, Join, & etc but the problem is that the URL has some curly brackets and " as a requirement and that breaks the formula:
URL Example
https://katang.io/?t_pid=1&t_extra={"Source":"stackoverflow","Type":"email","Stategy":"banner"}
So I need "Source":"stackoverflow" to be dynamic
so for example "Source":"Get Value from Cell A1"
Any Help or guidance will be much appreciated
Things to note:
"" makes a literal " character in a string, so you'll have to double up every one.
The & is the concatenation operator in a formula, so you can use that to get values outside of your string.
Therefore, this formula should work:
="https://katang.io/?t_pid=1&t_extra={""Source"":"""&A1&""",""Type"":""email"",""Stategy"":""banner""}"

How can I pass a fuction which correct all domains to #mail.com. I know I have to use =RIGHT(,9) but when you reach the last error it does not apply
Try below formula-
=ArrayFormula(IF(A2:A="",,QUERY(SPLIT(SUBSTITUTE(SUBSTITUTE(A2:A,"mail","|"),"#",""),"|"),"select Col1",0)&"#mail.com"))
This should also work.
=INDEX(IF(LEN(A2:A),QUERY(SPLIT(SUBSTITUTE(SUBSTITUTE(A2:A,"mail","|"),"#",""),"|"),"select Col1")&"#mail.com",""))
Answer
The following formula should produce the results you desire. It assumes that the data you provide is in cells A2:A5 of your spreadsheet. If this is not the case, adjust the A2:A5 portion of the formula appropriately.
=ARRAYFORMULA(REGEXREPLACE(A2:A5,"[#|2].*","#mail.com"))
Explanation
This formula uses REGEXREPLACE to get rid of all rogue characters and replace them with #mail.com. The first argument of REGEXREPLACE is the string to be evaluated. In this case, that is the range from A2 through A5. The second argument is which characters to look for. In this case that is all characters (done using .*) that follow either an at-sign or a numeral two (done using [#|2]). The third argument is which new string to replace the found characters with. In this case that is #mail.com, the correct domain without typos.
The REGEXREPLACE is wrapped in =ARRAYFORMULA because normally REGEXREPLACE can only be used with a single cell rather than a range of cells.
Please note that this solution relies on the assumption you stated that "Everything before # or 2 is correct."
I'm struggling with writing the proper syntax for this formula in Google Sheets. In one sheet called Game Log, in the H column I have data that can be a range of names (1 - 10 names per row). I'm trying to construct a COUNTIF statement that would search for the name in all the rows for that column. There can be several other names in the same column so I need to use the wildcard * to find any occurrence of the name in each row. So for example, the current code below would count all occurrence of Adam in the rows.
=COUNTIF('Game Log'!H3:H102, "*Adam*")
What I would like to do is replace the hard codes "Adam" with a cell reference (in this case B2). Is it possible to combine that cell reference with the wild card? The know the code below doesn't work (as it would return text counting occurrences of B2), but is something like this possible?
=COUNTIF('Game Log'!H3:H102, "*B2*")
Have you tried something like this?
=COUNTIF('Game Log'!H3:H102, "*" & B2 & "*")
That ought to look for any string value, followed by the cell value, followed again by any string value. It's essentially just performing separate checks, in sequence, which allows you to search for different value types (in this case string wildcard + cell value + string wildcard).
I am trying to perform a text replacement over multiple cells. I'm sure I can do this using ARRAYFORMULA, but I'm not sure how to feed SUBSTITUTE with an array rather than a single value.
I have tried using =ARRAYFORMULA(SUBSTITUTE(A1:A, '&', '&')) but this gives a formula parse error.
What is the correct formula to use?
You need to use the double quotation marks " instead of the single quotation marks '
=ARRAYFORMULA(SUBSTITUTE(A1:A, "&", "&"))
im trying to mark matching URLs red.
I have two sheets with URL Data.
My custom Formula looks like this:
match(A2,indirect(Sheet2!A2:A),0)
wondering why there is an error if i use =match(A2,indirect(LostURLs!A2:A),0)
so with the additional =
Anyways both methods are not working and im wondering why?
Indirect excepts the first argument to be "a cell reference as string".
So please try
=match(A2,indirect("LostURLs!A2:A"),0)
and see if that works?
Note: depending on if you want the formatting for a single cell, a column or a row you may have to use a dollar sign in the first argument of the match() function
E.g: If you'd want to repeat the formatting for column A, you would have to use
=match($A2,indirect("LostURLs!A2:A"),0)
For row 2 that would be:
=match(A$2,indirect("LostURLs!A2:A"),0)
and for a single cell
=match($A$2,indirect("LostURLs!A2:A"),0)
NOTE: Depending on your locale, you may have to change the comma's to semi-colons.
perhaps try:
=MATCH(A2; INDIRECT("LostURLs!A2:A"); 0)
Here's my next challenge, and it's related to the previous one (found here: This works for one cell - now how can I apply it to a range?).
I've ended up with a godawful ugly formula for conditional formatting, and somehow (perhaps by dumb luck) it seems to work...
=OR(ARRAYFORMULA(IF(ISNUMBER(SEARCH($B$18,D7)),SIGN(SEARCH($B$18,D7)),IF(ISNUMBER(SEARCH(SPLIT($B$19,","),D7)),SEARCH(SPLIT($B$19,","),D7)))))
It returns true for any single target cell (D7 in this example), checking whether it contains either the string in B18 or one of two or more string values, separated by commas, in B19.
As with the previous scenario, I can't work out how to turn this into a formula (array formula?) which I can apply to a range (D3:D12) and count how many cells meet the criteria.
Or maybe the better question is, what would be the correct way to tackle this in preference to my Frankenstein's Monster of a kludged-up formula quoted above!
Any and all insights appreciated :)
Assuming the values in B19 are separated by a comma, followed by a space, try:
=sum(ArrayFormula(--(REGEXMATCH(D3:D12, B18&"|"&SUBSTITUTE(B19, ", ", "|")))))
If there is no space after the comma use "," instead of ", ".
If you want the match to be case-insensitive, try:
=sum(ArrayFormula(--(REGEXMATCH(D3:D12, "(?i)"&B18&"|"&SUBSTITUTE(B19, ", ", "|")))))
See if that works?
