Check If 1st X Characters Are Numeric
Aug 10, 2007
In my column of text strings, I have a multiple format of strings make-up. Below is just one of them I have to check that the first 6 are digits from 0 to 9, and it is followed by a hypen. If condition is true, the first 6 digits is the output (ie. 345678).
345678-S
=IF(ISNUMBER(--(MID(A1, FIND("-",A1)-1,1))--(MID(A1,FIND("-",A1)-2,1))--(MID(A1,FIND("-",A1)-3,1))--(MID(A1,FIND("-",A1)-4,1))--(MID(A1,FIND("-",A1)-5,1))--(MID(A1,FIND("-",A1)-6,1))),LEFT(A1,FIND("-",A1)-1))
However, if I were to continue doing this for other strings, I would soon run out of characters limit that is allowed in a cell. I wonder whether a formulae such as below is valid? Any suggestion or help for a shorter formula is very much appreciated.
=IF(ISNUMBER(--(LEFT(A1,1+1+1+1+1+1))),LEFT(A1,6))

I have a column contains Postal Adress in more than 5000 rows. Column contains Door Number, Area, City and Zip code. I need to separate "Zip code" alone in next coulmn. Zip code (of India) will be in six digits like "600083" also some cases contain space in middle of zip code like "600 083" (after 3 digits). Is there any way to do this without doing cut & paste?

I have a column contains Telephone numbers with or without area code and country code for across the country (India). I need to extract the telephone numbers alone (neither area code nor country code). Telephone numbers will be 6 or 7 or 8 digits (not more than that). Is it possible to extract any set of numbers contain 6 or 7 or 8 digits continously? Some of the cases contains 2 contact numbers (2 set of 6 or 7 or 8 digit characters, between special characters will be there like slash, comma, space, hypen, etc.,
Here are some examples: ....

The macro I have select 2 columns and 2000 rows. I need a VBA code that will loop through each of these 4000 cells and remove all characters (replace them with blanks) that are not a number, a period or a decimal. Characters from other languages like Chinese, Japanese and Russian should also be removed.

I have something simple (i think) but i cant think it through. I have a range of cells that are populated by a link and so even though the value shows #,### It really shows #,###.########
I would like to trim everything after the decimal point without having to adjust format of the range since some cells are general format and others are Percentage format but they all suffer from .####### HOWEVER, the last digits are variable and never the exact same amount of characters.
for each cell in range("C4:J9")
if cell.value "" then
Trim(Left(cell,4))
end if
next cell

I am trying to write a formula that will recgonise either text or numicial value as the result is used with a match formula. In column C I have data as follows:
1400 SBY
1230 9985
ADO
I am using a =--RIGHT(C4,4) formula in column E to get the required data and then using my match formula to extract other data. How can I rewrite the above formula so that it can read either text or numbers that will allow my match formula to work.

I have a list of numbers in which I need to return the last 5 digits; the length of the string may vary.
However, if the last two digits of the number ends in a specific value then it should skip over the last two numbers and return the preceding 5 digits.
I have tried and have used the very basic Left, Right and Mid functions. My problem is I dont know how to code the formula to identify the last two digits and skip over them, if necessary.
I have provided an attached example.

I thought I had this solved but an inconsistency has shown up. I have a long list of chemical formulas that I want to format (partially) as subscript.
Basically what I need the macro to do is look at each character within a cell and check to see if it is numeric. If it is AND it follows a non-numeric character it should be formatted as subscript.
Examples
H2O the 2 should be subscript
H2SO4 the 2 and the 4 should be subscript
2CCl4 only the 4 should be subscript

The formula below was posted recently as a way to extract a numeric substring from somewhere in larger string. When I first saw this formula, how it "came up with the goods" and so I spent some time looking at parts of it to see what they did.
Although I've made some progress, I still don't fully understand it. Heres the formula, and below Ive detailed how far I've got:
=Iferror(lookup(9.99e+307,--mid(a1,min(find({1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9,0},a1&1234567890)),row(indirect("1:"&len(a1))))),0)
I hope my findings below are correct:
1. The formula is returning the first substring of contiguous numeric characters from the full string in Cell A1
2. 9.99e + 307 ensures that the search value won't be exceeded by the returned value.
3. The Mid function uses Min(Find( to get the character position of the first numeric in A1 (so MID then has its first 2 parameters). So far so good.
4. Now... I cant work out where MID parameter 3 (the substring length) comes from. I suspect its the row function, but can't see how as this isn't an array formula, and without CTRL+Shift+ Enter, I could only get Row to return 1 in my experiments (giving me only the first substring digit).
How does the formula return the correct number of numeric characters, (apparently) without counting them?

I have got 102 quantity of TextBoxes in my form.
Each field represents the number of "SALE QUANTITY" , "FREE GIVEN" , "RETURNED" products. We have got 34 PRODUCTS range. (34 x 3 fields = 102 textfields)
The name of the TextBox fields are as follows :
PR01S , PR01B , PR01K
PR02S , PR02B , PR02K
...
...
PR34S , PR34B , PR34K
All of the fields are required to be numeric data only. How can i check this fields to be numbers on the same time of the data input (or when jumping to the next field. There will be a message box mentioning that the field can only contain numbers + SetFocus to the wrong input field) ?
I dont want to write same code for each item, its too hard and long..
If i can solve this problem, then I will need help to enter the values from this fields to the worksheet because I must find a way to enter the values with a for next loop or something.. I dont want to do it one by one.
Here is how the form looks :
I dont know if there is a possibility to exclude the product to be entered in the worksheet if all 3 boxes are Zero (0) for that specific item.
Example : If all fields are "0" for item "Coke" then I dont want this products information entered in the excel worksheet.
0 Sale , 0 Free, 0 Return

If I have the following cells and values
A1 = 0
A2 = 0
A3 = ""
A4 = 0
I want a vba if statement that makes A5 = "Numeric.
If I have:
A1 = 0
A2 = 0
A3 = A
A4 = 0
I want A5 to = "Non Numeric"
Similarly if:
A1 = ""
A2 = ""
A3 = ""
A4 = ""
I want a5 to = "Non Numeric"
Is there a way to do this without looping through each cell in the range?

I have some code where I need to check if the first five char are numbers and not letters.
I have in a column for example
12345-someone is here
23456-someone else is here
someone is here too
I need to get all of the ones that have 5 digits and not pull in the other into a new list.
I have tried Left(CPHierAll. Cells(CPHierAllRow, 1),5) which will get me the fist 5 char. and then i need to check to make sure that they are all numbers and not char.
if Left(CPHierAll.Cells(CPHierAllRow, 1),5) = "#####" then
But this does not bring anything in.
I also tried if CPHierAll.Cells(CPHierAllRow, 1),5) = "#####" then
I have 3 column that i am checking for different thinks the first two work just find and seperate out on the check but the last one with the numbers is being a pain.

I have a column which cells are populated with codes like
BGW
3UG
WWU
1BR
UUBRG
WUBRG
7UUGGRRR
and so on. As you could see, we'll always have a number from 1 to 20 (or no number at all) followed by those letters (which can be only W,U,B,R or G). I'd like to know if there is a function to count the # of times a particular character occurs in a colum. In the above example, the "U" character appears 8 times. This would be nice to automate part of the filling process.
Just a little difference: since numbers always come before the letters, I need to treat a number sequence as a single value: 12GWW should not be seen as 1 then 2, but "twelve", like it was a single character. So, if I have this column...
URR
12WBBB
6UBG
12R
12WG
...then "12" appears 3 times. Nevertheless, B appears four times (3 on line 2 and 1 on line 3.)

I need to come up with a formula to verify that the last 3 characters of a text string match the 3 characters in the adjacent cell. So I am comparing in the example below Column B to Column A.
Ex:
A1 010 B1 3.010
A2 010 B2 1A.010
My spreadsheet is very large and I need to get this done without manually having to look at each.

If character or letter "A", or "B", and so on (until "J") is found both in Column A and Column B in a given row, then it is TRUE.
If no character or letter (from A to J) matches in both columns, then FALSE.
**Numbers are irrelevant.

I need a formula that will search the range D8-D100 to confirm that all cells within that range are either 11 characters in length or blank. I will use it inside of an error message that will look something like this:

I am trying to do is extract the volume size of products in 'ml'
from 10k plus products from a description field cell.
this description field could also contain the weight of the product in grams
so I cannot just do a search for a numeric string ,
it has to be associated with the milli-litres statement .
is is possible to do a sort of ' *ml ' search and then select and copy to another cell ???

I have a column of several thousand entries listed as numeric with a scientific symbol eg.
1.4mSv
19.53mSv/1mSv (some have a mix and or alpha/numeric range)
I want to convert them to the numeric value only. I'm extracting to a chart which is not recognising the alpha and throwing the data out. I tried find and replace, trying various options within the 'replace format' tab with no joy.

I have a few thousand products codes (i.e ABCD123BLA08 or SHU267BLA) They are non standardised in length or structure. I wish to pull out everything upto the end of the third numeric digit.( ie ABCD123 and SHU267) I cannot use left as they are all different lengths. Ideally i would serach for a non numeric char after the number then use left up to that point. Search can't do this, FIND can't do this.
Summary
ABCD123BLA08 would be ABCD123
SHU246BLU would be SHU246
I147ORT08-12 would be I147

I want to write an If Statement is a column next to each entry that denotes two options either Broker or Agent. Where the code is say 19352510 then Broker and where it is say C084111X AA then Agent.
Broker codes will never contain a letter. The Agent code will always start and finish with a letter.

8 digit should be "#### ####"
12 digit should be "###### ######"
13 digit should be "# ###### ######"
14 digit should be "# ## ##### ######"
