Learn how to add a search bar with contains substring in Google sheet. We will also answer, how do you check if a string contains a substring in Google sheet and how do I sum a cell contains a substring in Google sheet. We'll also be addressing if there a contain function in Google sheet? And finally, how do I find cells containing string in Google Sheets?
Is there a contains function in Google Sheets? Yes in a round about ways. You will have to use this formula. =IF(REGEXMATCH(A1, "rabi"), 1, 0) Returns 1 if cell A1 contains substring "rabi"
Look these are the steps outlined on the video.
Here's how you can create a search tool in Google Sheet, similar to this.
Regular Search Bar 1) Highlight data set 2) Format ~ Conditional Formatting 3) Custom formula is 4) =$A4=$B$1 5) Done
Partial Match Search Bar 1) Highlight data set 2) Format ~ Conditional Formatting 3) Custom formula is 4) =IF(AND(REGEXMATCH($A4, $B$1),NOT(ISBLANK($B$1))), 1, 0) 5) Done
Let's break down the formula shown below =IF(AND(REGEXMATCH($A4, $B$1),NOT(ISBLANK($B$1))), 1, 0)
- REGEXMATCH($A4, $B$1) checks if the value in cell A4 matches the regular expression pattern in cell B1. It returns TRUE if there's a match and FALSE otherwise. - ISBLANK($B$1) checks if cell B1 is empty. It returns TRUE if the cell is empty and FALSE if it contains any value. - NOT(ISBLANK($B$1)) negates the result of ISBLANK($B$1). It returns TRUE if cell B1 is not empty and FALSE if it's empty. - AND(REGEXMATCH($A4, $B$1), NOT(ISBLANK($B$1))) checks if both conditions are true using the logical AND operator. It returns TRUE if both conditions are true and FALSE otherwise. - Finally, the IF function evaluates the result of the AND function. If the result is TRUE, it returns 1; otherwise, it returns 0.
