Hi,
I have a query which works partially:
Solved! Go to Solution.
@Kreg ,
Here is a slight modification:
Accepted/Failed = SWITCH(
TRUE(),
LEFT( [Type],8 ) = "https://", "Accepted",
LEFT( [Type], 1 ) IN {"1","2","3","4","5","6","7","8","9","0"}, "Accepted",
"Failed" )
Type Accepted/Failed
| https://tesla.com/345345 | Accepted |
| 345345 | Accepted |
| - | Failed |
| Not Applicable | Failed |
The limitation with this code is that it assumes if the first character is a digit, then the entire value is numeric. If your entries will consist of both numbers and letters, then further adjustments will have to be made.
Regards,
@Kreg ,
Looks like there are a few issues with your syntax. Please try this:
Accepted/Failed = SWITCH(
TRUE(),
LEFT( [Type],8) = "https://", "Accepted",
ISNUMBER( VALUE([Type] )) = TRUE(), "Accepted",
"Failed" )
I trust I interpreted your question correctly.
Regards,
You interpreted it very correctly but I missed that in some rows might be some string provided by the user like "-", "Not Applicable", etc. and when I used your query I got message:
"Cannot convert value '-' of type Text to type Number."
So lets say that everything those kind of input must be treated as Failed.
