ADHoc Information Retrieval - tesseract

I want to extract the total bill from image receipts. I could extract the entire data present in the image but now I am struck with the problem of extracting only the information that I need.
This is the image that I have.
I am pasting the extracted information from the image
m cm lnnk 3mm: :33; no 1 z m
x Visut all! ms“; (or nulnunn mfn an an: nan.
Sub Iota] 19.56
TOTAL 19.56
VISA 1956

Yogurt Sunda: a dish of Frozen Yogurt.
or a Vanma rozen Vugurt Done.
From this data I just want to extract the total bill. To get this I found out that I could use Ad Hoc Normalization (Adhoc retrieval). Can someone provide any insights on Adhoc retrieval. If there are any other option to extract the data from the image please let me do so. I am using tesseract to extract this information. Sometimes it is no giving the proper output. I could use some help in improvising the output given by the tesseract.

Why do you need ad hoc retrieval in this case? Since you are getting the OCR result from the receipt, you can simply perform a regular text search for the item appearing next to "TOTAL".
There are algorithms for image text search, but this seems like overkill for such a straightforward application unless there is a good reason to do so.

How to find the column of the number that you're looking for?

After I watched a video about finding back a number with random numbers (Video link, if you want to know), I tried to make a sheets program for it. When I was trying to find out how much does it take to get back to a number, I have no idea on which function to use. In order to find how much "tries" to get back to a number. I tried =FIND and =HLOOKUP and it failed because it has multiple same numbers.
Example:
[1 needs 3 tries to get back to 1, so the result should be 3. Same thing with 2, but it needs 17 tries.
Here's the link of the google sheet
try something like this:
=IFERROR(IF($B7=INDEX($B$7:$B, MATCH(B7, ROW($A$7:$A)-(ROW($A$7)-1), 0)),,
INDEX($B$7:$B, MATCH(B7, ROW($A$7:$A)-(ROW($A$7)-1), 0))))

How can I round up MyBB View count format

Am Using MyBB for my forum,
My post view always display as e.g 31344, 211313
How can I round it up to something like 31k, 21k
And when it reach million or billions it should be 31M, 21B
You Get The Idea?, please how can I fixed that
Remember am using MyBB
For that, you need to edit the function my_number_format in stats.php file in global directory.
It responsibility is to parse the number in a given format.

Scanning invoices using OCR in swift

I am currently working on scanning invoices with OCR scanning. All invoices use the "OCRB" font, and have the same formatting.
The bottom of a sample invoice looks like this
This is what the user needs to scan.
I have tried many different libraries to detect what I want. But most libraries doesn't give me the correct result. The best result came from Firebase ML Vision text recognition.
But the resulting output I get is this:
I can calculate if the values are correct, except for the amount, presented in the middle. In this case it's presented as "3557 00" but if the user moves the camera a bit further to the right, the result I get is "557 00". Since both MLKit and other libraries cuts around the word, I have no idea if the full sum is presented or not.
If I would get a single space before the word, I could get that there is a full "word", in this case a sum.
Anyone has any ideas of how what library to use to get the best result?

Google Sheets - Retrieve "A:File1" to "A:File2" where "Sheetname:File1" = "B:File2" if "C:File2" is between "E" and "F" in "File1"

Sorry for the somewhat long title, but I was told to be as specific as possible. :D
My problem will require some explantion.
So, I have 2 spreadsheets files ("Konverteringstabeller" and "Tee Posen").
In "Tee Posen" I have a sheet named "Scores MIK" (golf scorecard and my name).
In "Konverteringstabeller" I have sheets with conversion tables for multiple golf courses, but if one works, all should.
What I need is to find out what course handicap I would get if my golf handicap is "HCP 26,0" (as shown in File 2 Picture), and in this case that result should be 29 (not visible), but you should get the point.
(example: golf hcp 10 would result in course hcp 11, because 10 is between 9,9-10,7)
While I have been able to find the right result, it has only been in the "Konverteringstabeller" spreadsheet file and that is not the place I need it.
I want to have it written in E6 in the "Scores MIK" sheet in File 2.
I should mention that in "Scores MIK : File 2", cell C2 (Ikast Golf Klub) has data validation so I can easily change between the different courses in the "Konverteringstabeller" file once I add more.
What I have been messing with is something with vlookup and importrange with concatenate in it, but I can't figure out how to do it, so I ask for your help.
And I am by no means skilled in the art of Spreadsheets, so I would very much appreciate a detailed explanation.
Picture - Scores MIK (File 2)
Picture - Ikast Golf Klub (File 1)
Thanks in advance!

OK so a couple notes - One is that to join a static cell where you keep the sheet name but allow it to chance you should add '$' around it, also if the rows for B8-E70 will always be the same position on the various sheets you also need to add $ around those as well.
here is an example of the whole formula
=IFERROR(ARRAYFORMULA(VLOOKUP(E5:E25;IMPORTRANGE("spreadsheet key";"'"&C2&"'!$B$8:$E$70");4;TRUE)))
And lastly - using the "&" operator to concatenate is better at least in my opinion because concatenate sometimes does not work as well with array formula - plus I find it personally quicker and easier to use that having wrap yet another function around my stuff.

how to create normal distribution by using matlab

for information..
i have some about machine maintenance schedule...for recondition and overhaul machine..
from the schedule there are information of when each machine happened to recond and overhaul. has actual date and due date of machine for recond or overhaul in every year.
as example
machine 1
actual date---2/1 (Recond)
due date------12/1
actual date---14/1 (Recond)
due date------24/1
actual date---24/1 (Overhaul)
due date------3/2
actual date---18/2 (recond)
due date------1/3
so..can you help me how to convert this data to normal distribution graph by using matlab..
because i want to compare each machine behavior..
thanks a lot..
i hope you can answer me as soon as possible
I am not quite sure what you want to do, but here are some possible answers to your question:
If you want to generate random data that follows a "normal distribution", use:
data = mean_value + (randn(1,N) * standard_deviation)
If you want to parse out data from the "logfile text" you mentioned, you could try:
line = [d1,m1,d2,m2] = sscanf(line, 'actual date---%d/%d (Recond) due date------%d/%d');
This will parse out the day/month values from the text.
