I have values I need to search for within another sheet (4 columns), the fourth column's cells containing strings of text. I need a formula that is able to search for and count how many times the value shows up in the other sheet, even within a string of text. Preferably I'd like it find the exact match of the text. Sometimes a cell will be 'abcd' and it will count 'abcd1.'
=COUNTIF(Sheet2!A:D, A30)
So far this only gets me the amount of times the value shows up when on its own in a cell, but not within the string of text. I believe there will also be some concatenating involved for some of the values. Suggestions?
try:
=COUNTIF(Sheet2!A:D, "*"&A30&"*")
or:
=INDEX(SUM(IFERROR(REGEXMATCH(Sheet2!A:D&"", ".*"&A30&".*")*1, 0)))

I'd like to include an image into a mail merged word document based on the presence of a single value in a column which contains several values.
e.g. if the cell contains the value BOB insert image, if it contains any other value then do nothing.
Most of the {INCLUDEPICTURE} functionality seems built around including a different image based on a filename matching a cell value.
{INCLUDEPICTURE} "MERGEFIELD Selection_identifier).png"\*
MERGEFORMAT \d }
Works provided I translate selection_identifer in the spreadsheet itself, but there has to be a better way. There seems to be little information about this particular usecase online.
If you are only using a single image and it does not vary between merges, you should probably just use
{ IF "{ MERGEFIELD Selection_identifier }" = "BOB" "<the_image>" }
where <the_image> is a copy of the actual image, sized how you want, pasted between those quotation marks. In that case, there would be no need for an INCLUDEPICTURE field or a reference to an external image file.
As usual, all the {} have to be the special field code brace pairs that you can insert on Windows Desktop Word using Carl-F9 or similar.
I'm trying to change the value of nulls to something else that can be used to filter. This data comes from a QVD file. The field that contains nulls, contains nulls due to no action taken on those items ( they will eventually change to something else once an action has been taken). I found this link which was very informative but i tried multiple solutions from the document to no avail.
What i don't quite understand is that whenever i make a new field (in the script or as an expression) the formula does not propagate in the records that are null, it shows " - ". For instance, the expression isNull(ActionTaken) will return false in a field that that not null, but only " - " in fields that are null. If i export the table to Excel, the " - " is exported, i copy this cell to a text analyzer i the UTF-8 encoded is \x2D\x0A\x0A, i'm not sure if that's an artifact of the export process.
I also tried using the NullAsValue statement but no luck. Using a combination of Len & Trim = 0 will return the same result as above. This is only one table, no other tables are involved.
Thanks in advance.
I had a similar case few years ago where the field looked empty but actually it was filled with a character which just looked empty. Trimming the field also didnt worked as expected in this case, because the character code was different
What I can suggest you is to check if the character number, returned for the empty value, is actually an empty string. You can use the ord to check the character number for the empty values. Once you have the number then you can use this number to replace it with whatever you want (for example empty string)
I have a field with multiple words in it. I want to separate the words onto different lines rather than have them separated by spaces.
So for example “Not Great”, I want to put “Not” on 1st line and “Great” on 2nd line, like so:
Not
Great
There could be words with “/” character in between i.e. “Great / Good” where I want to put everything after 1st word in 2nd line and everything after “/” in 3rd line i.e.
Great
/
Good
Basically, whenever there is space, I want split that string into multiple lines. How do I do that in SSRS?
Ok, you want the string broken up into different lines.
Do you mean on separate lines within the same tablix cell?
Thats straightfoward see
http://www.kodyaz.com/articles/reporting-services-add-line-break-between-words-custom-code.aspx
If you mean to split the string so the words are on different Tablix cells one approach would be to use a sub report on a list.
Set the list data set to the original data set containing the multiple word string, pass the string to the sub report as a parameter.
On the sub report pass the parameter to a data set that splits the string into individual lines.
Losts of suggestions for how to do that here
Turning a Comma Separated string into individual rows
Simply replace the space with a carriage return and line feed:
=Replace(Fields!SomeWords.Value, " ", vbCrLf)
=Fields!SomeFields.Value.Replace(Space(1), vbCrLf)
My Word interop application needs to get content out of a cell of a table in a word document. The problem is, that the formatting for some items seems broken. For example the last item of a list does not have the list style applyied. Headings are only normal text etc.
The same happens if you create a table, create a list in the table and try to copy / paste the list to somewhere else.
Has anyone else had this problem and maybe found a solution? Is there any way to trick word into giving the correct formatting?
Thanks in advance
Example code
Range range = cell.range;
range.MoveEnd(WdUnits.wdCharacter, -1);
...
range.FormattedText.copy()
The range includes the end-of-cell marker which should not be exported. I just noticed, when not altering the range, list are correctly formatted but the whole cell is exported as a table, which is bad because i want to import the content into another document (where this would nest tables infinitly)

In Crystal Reports 2008, I need to have an accurate count of all of the lines that have been displayed in a sub report.
I'm using a shared variable and incrementing as needed when lines display. The only problem I'm having now is when a field wraps. We are not using a fixed width font, so going by field length does not solve the issue, as 'i' is not as wide as 'w' and so on.
Is there a way to find out if the data in a field will be wrapped, and if so how many lines it wraps to, or is there a way to find out what the height of the section that the field is in (or the field itself) has grown too?
Or, is there an even better way to count how many lines have actually displayed on the sub report?
No, there is no way to do what you describe.
If you used a fixed-width font, you could then do some math based based on "it wraps at X characters" do if length of string is 100, then it went 2 lines, etc.
