Extract First & Last X Characters From Cells
Sep 28, 2006
Column A in Excel has loads of numbers all in this format 971-417. I need to have each of those two numbers in a separate cell from each other(and without the hyphen of course).
Column A Needs to be: Column A Column B
971-417 971 417
In short, I'm looking for a quick way to put each number in its own cell for hundreds of rows. Are there formulas I can use to do this or does it have to be done slowly, one at a time, stripping the information from one cell to another?

I would like to extract any numerals between the comma and colon. (Format is text)
Example: 8 Dec, 1:52PM (1 to show in another cell)
Format is always the same but date/day & hour may change. (Hence changing number of characters depending on day and time.)
Example: 11 Dec, 10:49AM (10 to show in another cell.)

In column M I have data that lists a number, then number of metres between brackets. For instance
Column M
11 (79m)
1 (5m)
22 (123m)
Basically what I want to do is to always return the number of metres without m, so the data between "(" and "m".
I tried to do this using the find and mid formulas, but I either haven't got it quite right. I'm only after a spreadsheet solution (not VBA).

Data in field A1 currently appears as below.
8/10
I want to extract everything to the right of the "/" in a new field.
The formula that I am using is =RIGHT(A1,FIND("/",A1)-1)
For some reason, I am only receiving a 0 in the new field and not the 10 that I expect.
What's odd is that the formula is working as intended on every other field except this one.

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.,

This is very similar to my previous post, which was solved. Now that I've extract the numbers, I need to extract the text for the specific work activities, for example 13Z or 9GGG. I'm assuming some variation on this formula:
=LOOKUP(9.99E+307,--MID(C4,MIN(FIND({1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9,0},C4&1234567890)),ROW(INDIRECT("1:"&LEN(C4)))))
is the solution, but I'm struggling with making the correct alterations.

I need a Excel 2007 formula that will extract a string of text that is seperated by characters.
Example:
in Cell (A1) I have the following
ALA 11 : [ MOBILE ] 36619 1/2 ... HOME ... JUNE 2009 / TODAY: $ 50000
End Result wanted:
Cell (A2) 11
Cell (A3) MOBILE
Cell (A4) 36619 1/2
Cell (A5) HOME
Cell (A6) JUNE 2009
Cell (A7) 50000

I have a problem that I just dont seem to have the brain power to solve right now. I have a list of websites and I need to extract all characters after the last / in the URL. URL example:.....
I have been using the find function in conjunction with LEN and RIGHT etc but the multiple instances of / is causing headaches for me. Also, the trailing string of characters that I want to extract can be both text or numeric and are of differing lenths.

I am trying to write a function that finds and breaks a cell about the first space.
Worksheet is:
=LEFT(name,FIND(" ",name)-1)
Have tried...
Function Firstname(name)
Dim Space As Integer
Set Space = .Find(" ", name)
Firstname = Left(name, Space)
End Function
and also...
Function Firstname(name)
firstname = left(name,find(" ",name)-1))
End Function

I am attempting to utilize the Mid, Left, and Right functions to parse out data returned in a single cell. There are twelve months of data returned with the "title" listed after. I would like to be able to FIND the title and return a specific number of characters of data to the LEFT not the right (as Mid seems to do).
EX.
Cell A1{ 1 2 4 5 3 5 TITLE1 1 2 3 6 7 4 5 TITLE2 3 4 5 2 4 5 TITLE 4 }
Cell A2{ 1 2 4 5 3 5 TITLE2 1 2 3 6 7 4 5 TITLE3 3 4 5 2 4 5 TITLE 4 }
I would like to be able to search each cell for the "TitleX" then parse data out to the left of that title (and if not found, return "").
There are too many different Titles to use IF statements and I cannot change that the data comes to the left of the title.

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.

How can I extract mid section of the string which is always 5 characters long and is always followed by a period "." ?

I'm working with a large list of items of varying length. A sample worksheet is attached. I need to do the following:
1) If the characters after the final forward slash from the right are of the pattern "tttxxx" (where "t" is text and "x" is a number/digit), then return all characters to the right of the final slash, including the slash itself:
Y:/Series/hun/hun109 ----> /hun109
2) if the characters after the final slash from the right are not of the pattern "tttxxx", then return all characters after the second slash from the right, including the slash:
Z:/Series/crd/crd409/editorial ----> /crd409/editorial
3) if there are less than 3 backslashes in the item, return a blank.

Having trouble with this one. Searches seem to bring up every other variation of extracting info from strings except this.
I have cells which contain alphanumeric strings as below and, using a formula, I want to extract everything from and including the last letter to give A 2-3, B 3 and C 3-4 in the examples below.
Sub-base A 2-3
Sub-base B 3

I can do this in Excel, but I don't seem to have a single example to hand of how, using VBA, to extract all characters up to but not including, the first space character in a cell.

Cell R2 contains this value: " Forecast Time: 240 Index A forecast = 9078.314". I want to extract the characters "9078.314" and put them in a different cell. The cell that it should be affected to depends on the characters "240". I believe I should use the MID() and VLOOKUP() functions but I get stuck at the very first step of extracting my data.

I have the following type of info in A1,A2,A3...
Code:
nameGaryage40cityPittsburgheight190
age30height150
ameLindacityMichigan
citySan Jose
ameHarryheight180age50
My goal is to get as close as possible to this,so it will be easier to sort and manage
Code:
nameGaryage40cityPittsburgheight190
nameLindaage30cityMichiganheight150
nameHarryage50citySan Joseheight180
I can't use the "" sign as delimiter to separate them into different columns because the age,city,name and height fields are in random positions on different cells.The good thing is person's name will always come after "name" string, age is alwals followed by "age" string, so it cannot be like nameheight40Michigan180
I think the following would be the easiest method(not for me tho).If on B1 I had a formula that said "find the string "name" and write anything after it until you reach the next "" character".On C1 field I could have a formula "find the string "age" and write anything after it until you reach the next "" character.On D1 I would have the same for "height" string,then on E1 for city string.
My question is somewhat similar to this one
Extract A String Between Two Characters
Formula which outputs the data between 3rd and 4th instances of the "_" character.Can we substitute "3rd and 4th" with a specific strings like "age" or "height" ?
Code:
=TRIM(LEFT(SUBSTITUTE(MID(A1,FIND("|",SUBSTITUTE(A1,"_","|",3))+1,LEN(A1)),"_",REPT(" ",LEN(A1))),LEN(A1)))

I want to use the SumIf function to sum cells when other cells begin with certain characters.
I've toyed with a few ideas of how this could work, but i don't know how to specify that the cells need to begin with certain characters. The cells that would be the criteria and the ones that would be summed come out of an Oracle database (and i have no control over the way they're pulled out - yet) so the beginning characters are connected to extremely unique information, so i dont want that to be included in the if part, for obvious reasons.

I have some text that I need to format, at the moment it looks like this:
[note name="Person A" label="0"[Person A's information]/note]
[note name="Person B" label="0"[Person B's information]/note]
etc
I would like to extract the Name (Person A) and the actual note itself (Person A's information) into two columns. I tried using "Text to Columns" as I have in the past, but there is a problem. Many of the information fields contain hundreds of characters, with the largest being ~2500 characters. The text to columns works does its job but cuts out a lot of data (anything over 255 characters).
I'm using MS Excel 2000
The text contained HTML codes, so they have not appeared correctly I have replaced with []

There are three questions in Comment boxes in the file. The bottom line is that the final item name in column F can only be 50 characters long including spaces. As I am entering the information in columns B,C & D it would be great to be able to see the numbers of spaces I have left to enter characters in column H without having to hit "Return" and leave the cell.
The first question may need a Macro so excuse me that it is included in the Formula section.

I have recently purchased a new GPS for my fishing boat. I am trying to transfer my old coordinates from one unit to the other. I am using a .csv file to achieve this. Can some kind please let me know (and possibly tell me) if there is way to insert characters and spaces in to multiple cells. I have over 800 individual coordinates to modify to the new gps and this would take a long time to achieve individually.
I need to replace this: 12.34.567 to this: 12 34.567 N
and this: -1.23456 to this: 001 23.456 W
