One of the cells in the active column is longer than 255 characters
Hi all, I'm a new user to Excel, and I'm trying to use flash fill to add data to an existing string down the column where the keys remain the same, but the values change e.g. FirstName='Jim' ...
Without the example of having played on 365, send it to you, maybe it also fits in 365 Excel.
Here are some examples:
You can solve it like this
= IF (group comparison! J4 = "++"; "The general final performance of the students in your school in 2010 (base year) is significantly higher than the performance of students in schools of the same type of school with a comparable social composition Average. "; IF (group comparison! J4 =" + ";" The general final performance of the students in your school in 2010 (base year) compared with the performance of students in schools of the same type of school with a comparable social composition above average. "; IF (group comparison! J4 =" Ø ";" The general final performance of the students in your school is in 2010 (base year) in comparison with the performance of students in schools of the same type of school with a comparable social Composition on average. "; IF (group comparison! J4 =" - ";" The general final performance of the students Your school is slightly below average in 2010 (base year) compared with the performance of students at schools of the same type of school with a comparable social composition. ";" The general final performance of the students at your school is in 2010 (base year ) Compared with the performance of pupils at schools of the same type of school with a comparable social composition, far below the average. "))))
The texts could be separated into separate cells, then a VLOOKUP is sufficient. Since most of the text is the same in all cases, you could insert these parts once and fill in the rest with IF.
For 2010-2016, as far as my knowledge allows, up to 1048 characters per cell can be inserted with this possibility.
