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.

Thats IN really works and looks very smart. Thanks for that. It works for me.
