Challenge #128: Settle the Score

HardikJani

Hi....thanks for the challenge. Of all the challenges I have solved till now this was the most interesting. My approach was very primitive but I love looking at other solutions and learning. I first split everything to rows to get in one field. Then split the lower case and upper case letters. And used the summarise tool to get counts and multiplied by -1 to get the negatives. After I got everything togather I used cross tab to get the pivot and used multi row formula to get the final scores. I had to use one tool for each round here which is think should not be this complicated. Looking forward to getting to understand better solutions.

1. RegEx: Tokenise and split to rows

2. Formula:  REGEX_Match with optional case sensitive turned on

3. Crosstab: total column when aggregating values

This Challenge is a nightmare if someone don't know what tokenize is.


I tried regex to replace space b/w each character and couldn't succeed. Anyways, happy that I tried tokenize without any help.

 

I used regex as my formula was case sensitive

RegEx and Tokenize is useful!
