Numeric precision in Microsoft Excel. As with other spreadsheets, Microsoft Excel works only to limited accuracy because it retains only a certain number of figures to describe numbers (it has limited precision). With some exceptions regarding erroneous values, infinities, and denormalized numbers, Excel calculates in double-precision floating ...
Comma-separated values. Comma-separated values (CSV) is a text file format that uses commas to separate values, and newlines to separate records. A CSV file stores tabular data (numbers and text) in plain text, where each line of the file typically represents one data record. Each record consists of the same number of fields, and these are ...
Data Interchange Format (.dif) is a text file format used to import/export single spreadsheets between spreadsheet programs. Applications that still support the DIF format are Collabora Online, Excel, [note 1] Gnumeric, and LibreOffice Calc. Historical applications that used to support it until they became end of life or no longer acknowledge ...
String-searching algorithm. In computer science, string-searching algorithms, sometimes called string-matching algorithms, are an important class of string algorithms that try to find a place where one or several strings (also called patterns) are found within a larger string or text. A basic example of string searching is when the pattern and ...
Approximate string matching. In computer science, approximate string matching (often colloquially referred to as fuzzy string searching) is the technique of finding strings that match a pattern approximately (rather than exactly). The problem of approximate string matching is typically divided into two sub-problems: finding approximate ...
Microsoft Excel is a spreadsheet editor developed by Microsoft for Windows, macOS, Android, iOS and iPadOS. It features calculation or computation capabilities, graphing tools, pivot tables, and a macro programming language called Visual Basic for Applications (VBA). Excel forms part of the Microsoft 365 suite of software.
A regular expression (shortened as regex or regexp), [1] sometimes referred to as rational expression, [2][3] is a sequence of characters that specifies a match pattern in text. Usually such patterns are used by string-searching algorithms for "find" or "find and replace" operations on strings, or for input validation.
The basic syntax (and use) of each function is as follows: { {#if: test string | value if true | value if false }} (selects one of two values based on whether the test string is true or false) { {#ifeq: string 1 | string 2 | value if equal | value if unequal }} (selects one of two values based on whether the two strings are equal—a numerical ...
