Column Grouping values

JDong
8 - Asteroid

Hi All,

 

I have a column which is a formula field and combination of a string and float field.

 

The grouping based on Sl No does not work since the end field is a V_WString field.

 

Sl NoColumn
110 - 50 K
20
325042.08
333000
410 - 50 K
410 - 50 K
410 - 50 K
5[Null]
610 - 50 K
7[Null]
8No

 

Above is the table and please guide how to group based on the SlNo since it does not work.

 

Expected

 

Sl NoColumn
110 - 50 K
20
358042
410 - 50 K
5[Null]
610 - 50 K
7[Null]
8No

 

Thanks

@JDong  here is a solution to do what you asked, I used a regex to find the one containing text so taht I sum everything which is not text, hope it answered your problem!

Hi @Ladarthure @grazitti_sapna 

 

Thanks.

 

What if data is in this format "50 - 100 Tsd."  instead of "50-100 K" in the cell.

 

How would the Regex expression change ?

 

Please advise

@JDong it should still work if I am right! I am looking for any letter in the field

1 10
2 0
3 58042.08
4 30
5 [Null]

Hi @JDong,

 

here is the updated RegEx : REGEX_Match([Column], '.*[[:alpha:]]+.*')

 

if I translate it in english it means : 

  •  .*
    • 0 or more of any char type
  • [[:alpha:]]+
    • one or more letter
  • .* ending with 0 or more of any char
