Contains digit regex

wonka1234

Hi,

 

I have a formula to tell me if a column contains a digit:

REGEX_Match([CODE], ".*\d+.*")

 

 

So i have codes such as "p3sf" so It contains digit. So it would be a true for codes with a digit. would be false for a code "abcd"

 

However I have 2 codes that shouldnt be "contained as a digit"

For example: salesforce.com - (00d300001g8w) should not be included in the contains digit. same with "invoice_consumer_ 962255191"

 

All but these codes of my are lower then 10 characters.

 

How can I alter my regex to exclude these 2 fields? 

 

Thanks.

@faiqz  Sorry your excel file does not work. Its more of a regex issue and identifying digits.

What is the cretiria here?

Why  salesforce.com - (00d300001g8w) can be as containing "digit"?

@faiqz 
Maybe you uploaded the different workflow? 😂

I think my regex is recognizing the bracketed digits , which is correct givne the current regex. However I need a way to exclude it/. I want to exclude the "CODE" > 10 characters(or anything other logic you can think of).. but I want to keep my  original regex as is for the determining digit or not as it seems to work good.

Thank you for the quick reply.
If we can exclude any text that having length of greater than 10, then maybe something like.
Hope I understand you correctly. 😁

Thanks. However my formula is already a bool type.

Can you make this into a true false type of statement?

We can use 0 and 1 for Boolean type data.
