I'm looking how to change the delimiter from a comma to a forward slash to be able to create a link in google maps with multiple lat long values. Between every lat long set of coordinates needs to be a / in order to create the link. As you can see in the results below, the last set of coordinates is separated by a comma.. I thought of Substitute for this but I can't figure out how to keep the commas where they need to be?
Current: HYPERLINK(SUBSTITUTE(CONCATENATE("https://www.google.com/maps/dir/",HERE(),"/",[Lat Long],"/",
[Related Stops][Lat Long])," ",""),"Map Link")
Results: https://www.google.com/maps/dir/41.891633,-107.881736/41.897073,-107.930549,41.946416,-107.986634
I'm open to other ways of creating the link, this is just how far I got so far..
Solved! Go to Solution.
Could you mention your desired format with an example how it should look?
Would you like a backward slash "/" between individual lat , long values as well?
Edit: Please try below.
Please create a VC called say [LatLong_New] in the "Stops" table with an expression something like SUBSTITUTE([Lat Long],",","|")
Then the hyperlink expression can be something like
HYPERLINK(SUBSTITUTE(SUBSTITUTE(CONCATENATE("https://www.google.com/maps/dir/",SUBSTITUTE(HERE(),",","|"),",",SUBSTITUTE([Lat long],",","|"),",",
[Related Stops][Latlong_New]),",","/"),"|",",") ,"Map Link")
Please try below
You seem to be having a column called [Lat Long] in the child table "Stops". In that table please create another VC (text type) called say [LatLong_With_Slash] with an expression something like CONCATENATE([Lat Long], "/")
Then the hyperlink expression can be something like
HYPERLINK(CONCATENATE("https://www.google.com/maps/dir/",HERE(),"/",[Lat Long],"/",
[Related Stops][LatLong_With_Slash]) ,"Map Link")
I think that is a step in the right direction, however, Appsheet will still insert a comma in-between the values which will mess-up the link..
I also tried an enum list with a forward slash as the delimiter and an app formula to populate, however it still inserts the commas..
