Using google spreadsheets to display currency data, with USD as primary field for formula: =LEFT(V10*GoogleFinance("currency:USDEUR"),5)
I cannot figure out how to remove the the USD Symbol ($) from not show up for the additional currencies. It makes no sense to have the **$**xxx being displayed on non-USD data.
I have tried doing Format -> Numbers but none of those options resolve this issue.
The number formats are not working since the LEFT function is converting the value to text. Does this formula work instead:
=SUBSTITUTE(LEFT(V10*GoogleFinance("currency:USDEUR"),5),"$","")
Highlight the cells you want to change. Go to Format --> Number --> More Formats --> Custom number format. Highlight the "$" and delete it (delete the quotes and dollar sign both). Click apply. I have attached before and after pictures.

Hello stackoverflow i want to ask about how to remove those ,00000 (on screenshot above) im using multiple formula and "Format > Number > option" doesnt work for me
Thank you
You can use =ROUND() or =ROUNDDOWN() function to remove the decimal.
Your AVERAGEIF formula should look like this:
=ROUND(AVERAGEIF($B$13:$B;"Pragmatic Play";$E$13:$E))
OR
=ROUNDDOWN(AVERAGEIF($B$13:$B;"Pragmatic Play";$E$13:$E))
Example:

ROUND
ROUNDDOWN
For currency values you can also use =DOLLAR() (depending on spreadsheet's local setting) which allows you do determine the number of decimals:
=DOLLAR(AVERAGEIF($B$13:$B;"Pragmatic Play";$E$13:$E);2)&" (other things)"
I'm using the function importhtml() on my Google Sheets :
=IMPORTHTML("https://fbref.com/fr/comps/13/Statistiques-Ligue-1";"table";3)
The data are imported but some data are displayed "01.08" and the value is a date. The other values are ok if they contains big number like 1.93. How it's possible to change that and have only numbers and not displayed that value as a date ?
I try to change the format of the cell but the value became a number like 44455.
This is a screen of what I have
Just with the importHTML without any cell formatting
After I format the cell as brut text
How can I have the value as a number so to display 1.08 and not 01.08 ( for Google SHeets this is a date )
Thanks a lot in advance
Just add a fourth parameter, which stands for locale.
=IMPORTHTML("https://fbref.com/fr/comps/13/Statistiques-Ligue-1";"table";3;"en_US")
This solved the problem here, since it turns the decimal points into commas, not allowing GS to interpret it as date format.
I have an issue with the IMPORTXML function and then changing the currency in my portfolio tracker.
IMPORTXML (C3=IMPORTXML(B3,"//div[#class='priceValue___11gHJ']") takes the price of a cryptocurrency from coinmarketcap (B3=https://coinmarketcap.com/currencies/ethereum/ - this all works fine (would rather prefer to have the prices from coingecko, but cannot figure the IMPORTXML function for that website... - if anyone has some valuable input for this too, would be great).
However, the imported price in C3 has a dollar sign before the actual numbers, which mess up the GOOGLEFINANCE formulas in columns D (D3=C3GoogleFinance("CURRENCY:USDEUR")) and E (E3=C3GoogleFinance("CURRENCY:USDGBP")). Screenshot of the error attached. Error Message
Does anyone know how to fix this?
Much appreciated!

On cell C3 you could use:
=VALUE(SUBSTITUTE(IMPORTXML(B3,"//div[#class='priceValue___11gHJ']"),"$",""))
References:
SUBSTITUTE
VALUE
If I understand correctly, the problem is that the imported price in C3 has a dollar sign in front of the actual numbers, which breaks down further processing by formulas.
To solve the problem, you can wrap the formula in C3 in a MID() formula that returns a segment of a string. If we specify a position number equal to 2, starting from which the string segment will be extracted, then the dollar sign at position 1 will be ignored. The sign of the pound or the euro will also be ignored - any currency sign with a length of 1 symbol.
10 is the segment length with some margin. Please note if the end of string is reached before segment length characters are encountered, MID returns the characters from starting position to the end of string.
C3:
=MID(IMPORTXML(B3,"//div[#class='priceValue___11gHJ']"),2,10)
MID()
Here's a little workaround to import the prices from coingecko, and remove the $ simbol, of course:
=SUBSTITUTE(IMPORTXML("https://www.coingecko.com/en/coins/ethereum"; "//div[contains(#data-controller,'coins-information')]//span[contains(#data-coin-symbol,'eth')]");"$";"")
But, as you can imagine, if they change the html structure of the site, this will stop working.
Have fun!
I have a sheet containing my weekly schedule. Only school cells have a room number in it, so how do I format the cells to color only the ones that contain a number.
note: Actually, the room number is a number in range(A:E) followed by a three digits number in range(000:499). Ex.:(A433, B166, D254)
I tried: Text contains"(A:F)(000:444)" but it didn't work.
EDIT:
For some reason, "=REGEXMATCH(B2, "[A-F][0-9]{3}")" worked. Could anyone tell me why? I tried replacing B2 by B1, but then it didn't work. Does it have anything to do with the fact that B1 is a weekday, and so does not contain REGEXP(B1,"[A-F][0-9]{3}) returned false.
What seemed more logical to me was "=REGEXMATCH(B2:F22, "[A-F][0-9]{3}")" To apply this function in range B2 to F22. What am I missing here?
In order to match patterns, you'll need to use regular expressions. Since the standard Conditional Formatting options don't include regular expressions, you'll need to choose "Custom formula is" and then use REGEXMATCH, which returns a Boolean value.
If you really want to look for the specific room number format you mentioned, then you would use the formula:
=REGEXMATCH(A1, "[A-E][0-9]{3}")
But if you just want to look for any numbers, you can use
=REGEXMATCH(A1, "[0-9]+")
In both cases, the text you're checking is in cell A1
You might try Conditional Formatting with a custom formula rule of the type:
=if(isnumber(A1),1,regexmatch(A1,"\d"))
The above was an attempt to respond to:
Google spreadsheets conditional formatting if text contains numbers
A more particular fit for the stated room number style would be:
=REGEXMATCH(A1,"[A-F]\d\d\d")
where the first character is any of the first six letters of the alphabet, if capitalised, followed by three instances of any number.
Relative beginner to using formulas in excel/google sheets, and I'm having some trouble figuring out how I can use an array formula to compare cells in different rows but the same column in google sheets (in my case, how I can do =IF(A3=A2,dothis,elsedothis) as an array formula. I'd also be interested if anyone has a different solution other than array formula to autofill formulas in.
The specifics:
I have a list of participants who've done an experiment, and some of them have done it multiple times. With a long list of participants and multiple entries for some participants, it's difficult to see where one participant's info ends and the next begins. So what I want is to alternate the rows in gray and white shading based off of the participant's number (ie. all of 001's entries in gray, all of 002's entries in white, 003's in gray, and so on). To do this, I put in a column on the right using a formula that checks if the participant number in the row above it is the same and, if not, it adds one (I'd like to use this to get a participant count later on). This is what the dataset looks like, and I've included the formula on the right.
A B ... ... X
001 9/1/16 ... ... 1 (1)
001 10/1/16 ... ... 1 (=IF(A3=A2,X2,X2+1))
001 11/1/16 ... ... 1 (=IF(A4=A3,X3,X3+1))
002 9/2/16 ... ... 2 (=IF(A5=A4,X4,X4+1))
002 10/2/16 ... ... 2 (=IF(A6=A5,X5,X5+1))
003 10/5/16 ... ... 3 (=IF(A7=A6,X6,X6+1))
...
All this is working fine and dandy, but the problem is, when I enter a new row, it doesn't automatically fill in the formula, and so the shading doesn't adjust. I suppose I could redrag down the formula every time I enter in new participant info, but that's tedious and I'm not the only one using it, so it's going to get messed up pretty quickly. From what I looked up, arrayformula is what I should be using. But you have to refer to the column as a whole if you use arrayformula. Anyone have any ideas?
Assuming you got the conditional formatting covered, I believe the formula(s) you use can be turned into one single array formula so that the output auto-expands when new rows are added. Example:
={1; ArrayFormula(IF(LEN(A3:A), offset(A2,0,0,ROWS(A3:A),1) + IF(A3:A = offset(A2,0,0,ROWS(A3:A),1), 0, 1),))}
See if that would work for you?
NOTE: the custom formula in conditional formatting used in the spreadsheet is
=AND($X1<>"", ISODD($X1))
One way to achieve the desired result:
To alternate the rows in gray and white shading based on the participant's number do the following:
Under the Format Menu choose conditional formatting
Enteries for the Conditional format rules dialog
In apply to range select the range e.g. A2:A16 (it may include blank cells)
For Format cell if choose Custom formula is
Type =isodd(A2:A16) in the text box below
For Formatting style choose Custom
Choose gray color from the fill button
Finally hit Done
To get a participant count you can use the formula =countunique(A2:A16)
You can do this alltogether without an additional helper column at all, just using conditional formatting:
The custom function to add into the conditional formatting option is this:
=isodd($A:$A)=TRUE
At the end if you still want your participant count, you can use this:
=COUNTA(UNIQUE(A:A))
