if match substr
my cells have unit in them... some MB , some KB, I want the mall to be a single unit so I can remove the uni and do math on it.
=IF(ISNUMBER(SEARCH("* MB",A1)),"dog","")

Find match index
=INDEX(D3:D8,MATCH("Product 4",A3:A8,1),1)
Find the index of the A column that matches "Product 4", Give that to "INDEX" , get the cell in the range "D3:D8", at index pos of the previous match.
Sum if match
Sum all the entries from B where the entries in A match A2.
=SUMIF('RAW DATA'!A2:A, "A2:A = A2", 'RAW DATA'!B2:B)
this also works:
=sum(filter(B2:B9, regexmatch(A2:A9, "STRING")))
Where STRING is the string in the column that should make it be included in the sum.
Conditional formatting on more than one value
This is an example of a "custom format".
The IF() is implied in the custom format formula:
So:
for =IF( A1 = "Paid" )
Becomes simply:
A1 = "Paid"
But what about "if this and that"?
AND ( A1 = "Paid" , B1 > 0 )
These are great ( google sheets )
regexp
=REGEXEXTRACT(D11,"^[0-9]+")
