I have a DAT file with multiple lines and I want to search only on the first line.
For example, my DAT file contains this text:
Field1þField2þField3þField4þ
JohnþUKþStevenageþ9012þ
MerlitþUSAþBelAirþ56þ
I want to search how many fields I have (in this case, there are 4). If I search for þ, the search is executed across all rows and I get 12 for this example.
Select the first line in the file (SHIFT+END if your cursor is at start of file). You can then go to the Find dialog box and you should see an option to only search "Selected text".
Update: I'm using UltraEdit version 22.10.0.12

I've tried looking for an answer to this online for a few hours now, but I just can't work out how you'd describe it, or find an appropriate answer.
I have a spreadsheet where I'm wanting to pull out an ID in Column A into a separate tab, but only if it contains a certain phrase that's contained in Column E. In this separate tab, I then don't want there to be any gaps in between the IF statements.
So for example I want the next tab to pull through the Action ID if column E contains 'Client'. If it doesn't, it searches the next row and so on until it finds one that does contain 'Client'. Row 2 on the separate tab would then continue the search, but it wouldn't be filled with something if it doesn't find the word 'Client' - it instead would continue searching down until it found one that has the word in.
So for example - if the first ID that contains the right phrase is in Row 5, I want it to appear on the separate tab in Row 2, underneath the heading. Then, if the second ID with the correct phrase in column F is in Row 11 for example on the main tab, I then want it to be pulled through to Row 3 on the separate tab. And so on..
This will then allow me to do lookups for the rest of the values I want to input on the separate tab.
I've tried as many different IF statements as I can, but it's just not having it.
Any advice would be really appreciated.
You can use INDEX and AGGREGATE combination:
=IFERROR(INDEX($A$2:$A$6,AGGREGATE(15,6,1/($E$2:$E$6="Client")*ROW($E$2:$E$6)-1,ROW()-1)),"")
In Google Sheets you can use FILTER (docs) for that. Place it in the top cell of your column.
={
"Your Header";
IFNA(FILTER(A2:A, B2:B = "Client"))
}
If A2:A and B2:B are from other tab named My Tab it will be 'My Tab'!A2:A and 'My Tab'!B2:B.
When I import a csv file to Google spreadsheet a single quote get added in front of all numeric data.
How can I remove that ?
I using import option from file menu
Try this:
right-click the column letter (on columns with numbers)
press Ctrl+F to invoke Google Sheets Search
to the right of the search box, click the ⋮ vertical 3 dots button
to invoke the Find and replace window
in the Find box, put the ' single quote (no space after)
leave the Replace box empty
click the Replace all button (on the bottom)
That should do the trick
put a column in notepad ++ enter image description here
make replace, and return column to GD
For me "Find and Replace" didn't work since those single quotes are not found by it.
I could only get rid of the single quotes by formatting affected cells/column as an integer numeric one.
I'm a bit of a newbie at this, so hope to get some help.
I have a large spreadsheet where columns C and D each have a blank space before the data in each column. Can some one please explain me how to trim an entire column to remove starting spaces in LibreOffice of Google Spreadsheets
In LibreOffice:
1. Select the cells you want to change
2. Edit -> Find & Replace
3. Find: ^\s+
4. Replace:
5. Other Options - Regular expressions: ON
6. Other Options - Current selection only: ON
7. Click Replace All
In Google Sheets, I would do the following.
First, enter the formula =arrayformula(trim(C:D)) in some cell of the first row, for example E1. It will fill two columns (E and F) with trimmed values (removing spaces at the beginning and end of each string).
Then copy the contents of columns E-F and paste values only in C-D; this is done with Ctrl-Shift-V, or by selecting "paste special -> values only" from the context manu.
In LibreOffice you can trim all spaces (beginning and end) via the "text to column" function:
Data -> "Text to Column"
Then assure the column is not being split (e.g. select tab als separator, if no tabs are present) and select "Trim spaces"
I'm sure the other answer works, but if you just need to do it once, I have an easy option. Download Sublime Text or some other text editor. Look for spaces at the beginning of a string (using ("^ ") without quotes should do it), and erase them.
Text editors are really helpful for normalizing data like this when you don't need updates in the future.
I have an table in an MS Excel 2010. The table has two columns. The first column is a name of a person (Col A), the second column is the marks that the person secured in an exam (Col B).
I am applying conditional formatting. If I choose the following wizard
Home > Conditional Formatting > Format all cells based on their values
I can color the Col B on a 3-color scale. This is exactly what I want. However, I want it for the entire row and not only the cell in Col B. I want the name also to be formatted in the same color as the marks.
Anyone knows how to do this?
I have already looked around a bit. The following came close to did not solve the particular problem that I am trying to.
http://www.howtogeek.com/howto/45670/how-to-highlight-a-row-in-excel-using-conditional-formatting/
Conditional Formatting Rows Based on Date
You're probably going to have to use VBA code for this.
Right click the worksheet label and select 'View Code'
Inside the code window, paste in the following code:
Sub RunMe()
Dim xRng As Range, xCell As Range
With Me
Set xRng = .Range(.Cells(2, 2), .Cells(.Rows.Count, 2).End(xlUp))
' Change the first '2' above to reflect the starting row of your data
For Each xCell In xRng
xCell.Offset(0, -1).Interior.Color = xCell.DisplayFormat.Interior.Color
Next xCell
End With
End Sub
Now every time you run the macro (Alt-F8, select macro), column A will be formatted with the conditional formatting assigned to column B.
If you want this process to be automatic, change:
Sub RunMe()
to something like:
Private Sub Worksheet_Activate()
' This will run the macro whenever the worksheet is selected
or you could assign the code to a keyboard shortcut or a command button etc.
If you would like the code to run every time the file is opened, saved closed etc, add the code instead to the ThisWorkbook code window (although you'd have to alter the code slightly as 'Me' is referencing the particular worksheet in which the code is placed).
I am wondering if I can have "!Peter" option while filering on the first column of the first table example here?
I should be able to have all other options + !Peter ?
Thanks in advance,
Aparna
The demo you linked would not allow you to enter and search for !Peter because:
The first column (with "Peter" in it) is set up to use a select element.
You could enter !Peter in the second column, but it would not return any results because that column is set up to only return exact matches.
I set up this demo without either of those restrictions, and if you enter !Peter into either of the first two columns, the expected results will show.
Now, if you mean you want to change the select element options, then you should look at the documentation for the filter_selectSource option.
