Extract X Number Of Characters Followed By Specific Character

May 23, 2008

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

My account strings are in 3 sections (but the third section isn't always used)

For example,
1.10210
1.22556.001
900101.56201
955261.54444.001
5566625.58886.957756

Pull/Extract Number Before Specific Character In Cells

Jun 10, 2008

What formula or function truncates a text field that is in the following consistent format:

number. name
ie. 3. Super Bella
and 150. Taoist

I wish to truncate the field so I have just the integer without the dot, space or word(s).

Tried Len, Left & Replace but they require a specific number of characters. Since the number can be 1 to 3 digits long, this doesn't work.

Delete Characters After Last Specific Character Occurence

Jun 11, 2008

I have one column with many numbers. Some have one dash and some have two.

Example:
123-123456-65
012-789546-1
98B12354-889

Is there a way that I can remove all characters after the last – (dash) in the number?
Example:

If number is 123-123456-65
Then 123-123456

If number is 98B12354-889
Then 98B12354

If someone could just lead me in a direction, I might be able to figure it out. However, my code is elementary and most of the time, I record macros and the play with the code until it does what I want.

Character Extraction: Extract The Characters "9078.314" And Put Them In A Different Cell

Feb 5, 2007

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.

Formula To Extract Undefined Number Of Names Following Specified Character

Apr 8, 2014

I need a formula which can pick out the names from string of text, each name follows "-->", the number of names in each cell differs and is undefined. The result needs to be posted into each column following these cells.

An example of a cell is below:

"W/L FIGHTER Str TD Sub Pass EVENT METHOD ROUND TIME

Loss -->--> Tom Aaron -- -- -- -- Strikeforce - Hen... U. DEC 3 5:00

-->--> Matt Ricehouse -- -- -- -- Dec. 4, 2010

Win -->--> Tom Aaron -- -- -- -- Strikeforce - Hea... SUB 1 0:56

-->--> Eric Steenberg -- -- -- -- May. 15, 2010 Guillotine Choke"

I have tried using text to columns but everything after the first line is not recognised (when I click finish anything after "TIME" is simply not there).

Example attached : UFCv1.xlsx

Formula To Extract All Characters After A Certain Number Of Forward Slashes From The Right?

Apr 9, 2014

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.

Function That Inputs A Certain Number Of A Specific Character

Mar 23, 2009

I need to make a list of Part Numbers in quotation marks. If a number of digits of a P/N is less than 13 a number of space characters has to be added to make the string 13 characters long.

We have example P/N:
1234567890123
12345678
123456

should become:
"1234567890123(no extra space characters should be filled-13chars)"
"12345678(5 extra space characters here)"
"123456(7 extra space characters)"

Is there a function that inputs a cerain number of a specific character ("space" in this example)?

Extract String Between Characters After Specific String

Dec 22, 2013

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:

Extract Text After Last Specified Character

Aug 15, 2007

I have a cell in my worksheet with a fully qualified filename like 'D:abcDefGHIJklxyz123.app

I would like to extract only the xyz123.app. Obviously, the number of characters is going to vary based on the filename. The find and search functions appear to locate the cell but not the substring in the text. The right and left appear to work based on number of characters and in my case these are varying. Also, there does not appear to be any function that can do a search a string from right to left.

Extract Nth Character Onwards

Dec 19, 2007

I have as an example two products. One called PORAW VC and the other PORAW WC30

I need to extract from the 7th character (in this case) to the end of the string. The string length always changes and to complicate matters some products dont have a space in their name.

eg PORTP060DUS ( here I want to extract just the 060DUS )
PORAW VC (Just need to extract VC)
PORAW WC30 (Just need to extract WC30)

I suppose this is some sort of dynamic extraction

Excel 2003 :: How To Remove Characters To The Right Of Last Occurrence Of Special Character

Mar 30, 2011

I have a column of text where I need to remove all the characters to the right of the last occurance of a special character.

I think a process like reading from right to left, look for the first occurance of the special character, and return the characters to the left of this position.

If I can determine the position of the last occurance of the special character, I could use the LEFT function.

The SEARCH function is close. It finds the position of the first occurance of text inside text but it reads from left to right. I need to read from right to left.

Another approach is to examine each character one by one from right to left. If the character is not the special character, delete it. When the character is the special character, delete it and stop the process.

There is no consistency in the text. The total lengths vary. The number of times the special character occurs in the text vary. The number of characters to the right or left of the last special character vary.

I much prefer not to have the solution be some VBA because I need to share it with others who are even less capable than I am. We are using Excel 2003.

Delete Rows With Specific Characters In A Specific Column

Dec 10, 2007

Currently I am using the Kickbutt VBA Find Function of Aaron, but I would like to have something that works more efficiently. What I currently do is (assuming all possible values for Column J are A - F):

Find_Range("A", Columns("J"), MatchCase:=True).EntireRow.Delete
Find_Range("B", Columns("J"), MatchCase:=True).EntireRow.Delete
Find_Range("C", Columns("J"), MatchCase:=True).EntireRow.Delete
Find_Range("D", Columns("J"), MatchCase:=True).EntireRow.Delete
Find_Range("E", Columns("J"), MatchCase:=True).EntireRow.Delete

although I just want some code that says: delete all rows except those that have "F" as content in Column J. I already tried something like:

Range("1:65536").Select
For Each cl In Range("J:J")
If cl.Text = "A" Or cl.Text = "B" Or cl.Text = "C" Or cl.Text = "D" Or cl.Text = "E" Then
Rows(cl.Row).Delete
End If
Next

but it also takes much to long. The major problem I think, is that the number of records is variable so I search the entire worksheet...

Extract Nth Word & Remove 1 Character

Jun 15, 2007

I have the function below from http://www.ozgrid.com/VBA/extract-words-function.htm
and have it working exactly as it's supposed to. Is it possible to adapt this to remove the last character of the text string, specifically the commas? My problem is that the raw data in one cell is like this (including commas) 0.333, 5.8874, 6.85423, 0.025. I separate each text string into separate cells but am left with the commas. I'm not using the "Data Text to Columns" option as I need the results in specific cells so they can then be used in calculations.

Function Get_Word(text_string As String, nth_word) As String
Dim lWordCount As Long
With Application.WorksheetFunction
lWordCount = Len(text_string) - Len(.Substitute(text_string, " ", "")) + 1
If IsNumeric(nth_word) Then
nth_word = nth_word - 1
Get_Word = Mid(Mid(Mid(.Substitute(text_string, " ", "^", nth_word), 1, 256), _
. Find("^", .Substitute(text_string, " ", "^", nth_word)), 256), 2, _
.Find(" ", Mid(Mid(.Substitute(text_string, " ", "^", nth_word), 1, 256), _ ............................

Extract 1st And 2nd Character Into Seperate Cells

Feb 8, 2008

I am attempting to make a macro for. It requires me to scan a column of cells worth of data (characters) for parts of what they contain and place those parts into a variable or string so that I can use an IF statement to place text in another cell.

I used to know someone who could do this via VBA, but I have been unable to reach him.

This sheet is fairly basic. The cells to be scanned are all in one column, they are all four digit numbers and I need to read the first two digits into separate variables.

Example: If the cell has "4101" in it, I want to be able to read the first digit "4" into one variable and the second digit "1" into another variable.

This way I can place text based on either one of those digits into the next cell over with an IF statement and can enclose it into a large loop to do the entire column.

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).

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.
