Google Spreadsheets Regex Case Insensitive (Regexreplace)

google-apps, google-sheets, regex

Solution

AFAIK, the only way to enable case-insensitive matching is JavaScript API in google docs.

Apparently, RE2 syntax does support the inline `(?i)` case-insensitive modifier:

=REGEXREPLACE("Test", "(?i)t", "")

An alternative that will work is using a Character class, adding both cases of the letter `T`..

=REGEXREPLACE("Test", "[Tt]", "")

Problem

I'm trying to create a case insensitive regex query in Google Spreadsheets with the regexreplace function. Is that possible? I've tried the \i flag and got a #REF error saying the expression was invalid: =regexreplace("Test","t\i","") gives an error when I would hope to get "es" as the final result. Is it possible? Is there a flag for case sensitivity in Google Spreadsheets? Thanks in advance!
