Description Bruno 2019-04-17 11:44:45 UTC
For conditional texts it would be great to have a Find function to know if a text is a variable's subtext. For example, I could write a =find(",";my_variable) OR find("and";my_variable) formula to know whether use plural.

Bruno, can you give us more detail use case for it?
Comment 2 andreas_k 2019-06-07 10:38:31 UTC
would be nice to have something like you know from text editors like VSCode autocomplete variables and commands.
