Problem description & analysis:
In an Excel worksheet, a cell contains a string made up of an ordered integer sequence. There are missing numbers, and the sequence is not continuous:
1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9,13,14,15,16,17,18,25,26,27,28,29,30,31,32
We want to find all continuous sub-sequences, write them in the form of intervals using the hyphen, and separate intervals with the comma.
1–9,13–18,25–32
Solution:
Use SPL XLL to do this:
As shown in the picture below:
Explanation:
split@pc splits a string into a sequence, during which the function automatically parses the data type and uses a comma as the separator. group@i creates a new group whenever the specified condition is met; ~[-1] represents the directly previous members of the current one, and m(-1) is the last member of a sequence.
