Is there a way to format some of the words in a textbox differently in Microstrategy?
I never managed to do it, so I end up either putting several textboxes, or replacing it with a HTML container where I can format text the way I want.

in my original workbook i want to display some values from another sheet for multiple actions.. so i put drop down list for each actions. but when the actions increased i couldn't recognize each formulas. (all of them are import range) so that if i can name each formulas in the drop down then i can recognize fast which action to be performed. here a sample sheet is attached for a solution.. pls take a look. in the dropdown list i included (=a2+b2) instead of that if it displayed as addition in drop down list would be help ful. please take a look.
sorry for my english
Any type of help would be appreciated.

If I understand correctly, you want to have a dropdown list menu (from Data Validation) that displays the operation name, but when you click it, it displays just the result.
This is very hacky, but here's a way to create some "labels" in your criteria box:
=IF(;"ADDITION";A2+B2),
=IF(;"SUBTRACTION";A2-B2),
=IF(;"DIVISION";A2/B2),
=IF(;"MULTIPLICATION";A2*B2),
How?(!)
After kicking around some no-op ideas, I finally settled on this as the cleanest and most flexible approach. (By some freak coincidence, it also makes some semantic sense too.) It works because when the first argument to IF is omitted, it defaults to 0 -> FALSE. This effectively makes the second argument to IF a comment/no-op, and always just selects the formula.
Yes, the semicolons are intentional or the parser will think of the args as list items.
Productivity Tip/Footnotes
Sheets will remove any line breaks in your validation criteria, so the formula will be hard to read when you have to edit it. If you anticipate that you'll be adding a bunch of functions later, save the above block in a text file and edit that. Then you can copy+paste it into the validation field.
It will also always show up as "INVALID" because the value will of course never match the formula text.
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.

I am of the opinion that giving multiple hyperlink to a single string is not possible in MS word document. I don't have any knowledge of C# but I think after reading How insert multiple hyperlinks to one comment in MS WORD using C#? I just want to clarify weather multiple hyperlink to a single comment is possible or not.
For example I have a "string"
I want to give different hyperlinks like this
example.com/s
example.com/t
example.com/r
example.com/i
example.com/n
example.com/g
So that I get change to select where I want to go from that string.
In Word, a hyperlink is not a string, it's a field code. Field codes are special objects. It is, therefore, not possible to pass multiple hyperlink objects as part of a string. You can't even pass one hyperlink object as part of a string...
You can pass multiple hyperlink strings as a delimited string, then "split" the string into an array, loop the array to create multiple hyperlink objects.
If you want to open a hyperlink or hyperlinks from code, there is a FollowHyperlink method, as I recall (I'm on a mobile device at the moment, so can't double-check). You can pass a string to that.
I am trying to create a gadget for some people, where all they need to do is really copy the contents of a spreadsheet, then paste it in a textbox, which will in turn create a nice table for them to embed in their articles.
I managed to do everything, however Google docs, when copying and pasting data in a text editor, seems to get the size (width) of the tab delimiter wrong between values. So, instead of getting 4 spaces that is the default, i am getting 2 in some cases and so far i managed to find out that the reason is that some of the cells contain strings with spaces. For some reason, this seems to confuse Google docs, thus supplying wrong spacings, which in turn, ruin my script.
I know i can use comma separated values here, but the issue is we are trying to give people the ability to simply copy and paste. Look at the example output below:
School Name Location Type No. eligible pupils
In this example, School Name is one cell, Location is another, Type is another and No. eligible pupils is the last one. It is clear that the first cell does not have the necessary space on the right.
Any ideas? I thought about converting all blank spaces that take more than 1 space to commas, but this might lead to a situation users might actually use 2... which would not work again.
For some reason, it was the code editor that was actually not showing the tabs right. Using a regexp and another code editor (vim) showed that all of them were actual tabs. :)
My app has thousands (maybe millions?) of models, let's call them Paragraphs, that contain text. The primary use of that text is to display it on a webpage. Sometimes that text is searched over for various other reasons too.
Some of the words in some of these paragraphs have associated metadata, like formatting, hyperlinks or other data-attributes that have meaning for my javascript in the front end.
Right now, I'm just sticking the ultimate html tags straight into the text, so it ends up being stored like this:
<strong>Jimmy</strong> is walking his dog which is <span class="something" data-metadata_id="2343">brown</span>.
This works well for the primary purpose of displaying the text, but is very ugly when I want to search over my text, or do other processing on it. Is there a better way? Is there a gem that handles this sort of thing?
It makes sense to put both versions in your database: a display one and an index one. Disk is cheap. Especially if you're using Solr or similar (very recommended if you're doing string search), you can store (but not index) the HTML, and index (but not store) the plain text version, in two different fields of the same record.
