Extract Car Number Plates From Text
Oct 10, 2012
I have a considerable amount of long text data in column A( thousands rows) and I need to extract all the car number plates in each cell of the near columns ( B,C,D..as many as necessary - one result per cell; the car number plates mainly match one of these formats :
BC06UTA ( two letters/two digits/three letters), BC068UTA( two letters/ three digits/three letters) CA7845XC ( letter,letter/4digits/letter/letter), B042068 ( letter/six digits), BC042968 ( two letters/six digits), CAA001 ( three letters/three digits) and AK1234AB ( two letters/four digits/two letters).
The number of the possible results is variable from 1 to 10
I would need also to have the possibility to edit the "matching car number plate format" if other formats will be identified (letters/digits/letters)
Basically each car number plate starts with a space and ends a space .

Below is a sample of data I need to extract the 8 digit number:
WO_32092_56228491_575482-113476-WP55
WO_32092_56228491_115130-WP55
WO_32092_56228491_115116-115118/115117-WP55
WO_32092_56228491_291881-318903-WP55
WO_259_56748761
WO_13895_52245652COUNTYRDN-30
WO_17368_51421730-A-ADDPOLEINFIELD
WO_17368_50885431-A-ADDMISSINGPOLE
WO_11021_52350485brock3377
In a spreadsheet, I had set up three columns where:
A: removed first three characters. WO_32092_56228491_115130-WP55 to 32092_56228491_115130-WP55
B: removed up to the _ . 32092_56228491_115130-WP55 to 56228491_115130-WP55
C: captured the first 8 characters left. 56228491_115130-WP55 to 56228491
I am pulling the data into Excel via an ODBC where there is thousands of rows of data. The three column process puts a tremendous strain on the processor.
Is there a formula that will extract the 8 character number without a three step process?

I have a several hundred rows of data that are telephone line type, number and user name all concatenated. This is the way the data arrives. I need to extract the number and user name into 2 separate columns - I do not need the phone type. Is there a formula that can identify numbers within text. I can't use Text to Columns as the leading telephone line type varies and I don't want to use VBA to do the work. There are at least 10 different line types, example of some:
SPECTRUM TIPT 0740357052 LUNCH ROOM
SPECTRUM ANALOGUE 0744076642 J BROWN
EXCHANGE LINE (PSTN/PSTN) 0742031346 HAYES SUB
FAXSTREAM DUET 0742003232 NORTH SUBSTATION
M/BANK (Spectrum) 0740318578 MB TO 4429
P PHONE (TELSTRA) 0744074159 B WILLIAMS
WITHIN ANALOGUE 0784625967 I MAKIT
the following phones start witn an "N"
PRIVATE LINE (PAPL) N7035896P ROTHMANS SUBSTATION
PRIVATE LINE (VGDL) VOICE LINK N7563069P P BLACK
PRIVATE LINE 2 WIRE PREMIUM (PAPL) N70079 FITZGIBBON G
PRIVATE LINE 4 WIRE PREMIUM (PAPL) N70335 SUBS SSKLB
Can this be done or will I have to resort to code.

I have an extract from a call logging system; one of the columns is a description of the call (this column is extracted in Text format). Within some of the descriptions is a reference number which I need to extract (sadly this number isn't kept in its own field) - is there any way to determine whether a cell has numbers in it, and if so is there a way to pull them out into a seperate column? (preferably using a formula as I'm no good at VBA!)

Imagine that I have this list of thousands of customers, who are listed in column B in the format "customer no+space+customer name".
Now I want to extract ONLY the customer no from the text string in column B and insert it as number value in column A on the same row.
Would have been easy with "Left" command, but as the customer numbers have variable length, I have a problem.

I have a set of task descriptions that I am attempting to trend on. Some of these (Column B) have the customer's name added to the description; others do not. I need to be able to make a list of task names (ColumnA), removing the name from the text string.
The formula I am using is [=LEFT(B3,FIND("for",B3)-2)].
The problem I am having is when the description does not contain the "for" built into the formula, I get "VALUE" error. What adjustment can I make to the formula to pull over the Description if the "for" does not appear in the text string?

An original text string entry appearing in an Excel cell would be:
"N7C Neuroprotective J5Z Antiviral, other M2Z Antiarthritic, other J5A Antiviral, anti-HIV"
I need to extract N7C, J5Z, M2Z and J5A from this string and list these alphanumeric values in separate cells adjacent to the original text string. The challenge is that these alphanumeric references may appear in different positions within the original string with no fixed value e.g. a "," separating them. The alphanumeric references may also be 3 or 4 characters in length and there may be different numbers of alphanumeric references in the original string.
Another example would be (very different from the first):
"T2Z Recombinant, other K5B Radio-chemoprotective J3Z Antibacterial, other D3A Vulnerary A10C Symptomatic antidiabetic K6Z Anticancer, other R8A Antiasthma B6A Septic shock treatment I1Z Immunostimulant, other S1Z Ophthalmological R8B Antiallergic, non-asthma M1A1 Anti-inflammatory"
You can see that in this further example "A10C" & "M1A1" are 4 character alphanumeric strings wheras the others feature 3 characters.

I had VBA run a third-party program ("HYD") using data listed in my spreadsheet. HYD produces a textfile and I want to extract a number from that log (line 58, columns 6-10 to be exact).
I started with
Open "C:TempHYDLOG.TXT" For Input As #1
but I don't know how to have it skip down to line 58 or which function to use to extract the number I want. I've read through tons of help files and forums but none of them treat anything as simple as scrolling down to specific lines.
The entire subroutine up to that point is as follows: ....

I'm working on an inventory spreadsheet that includes a user form to gather the data, inputs that into a new row and then I can't get the formula that counts the total inventory to include the newly inserted information.
Code:
Private Sub AddToInvButton_Click()
Range("C9").Value = Me.BrandText.Text
Range("D9").Value = Me.StyleText.Text
Range("E9").Value = Me.VitolaText.Text
Range("G9").Value = Me.RemainingNum.Text
[Code]...
I know the last Range statement and MyCount are off, but that's my stab at it to try and show you what I want it to do. I want it to count the number of rows between G8 and the end and use that number to modify the cell that has the simple =sum(G8:G-whatever the last number is minus 1 - since the very last row is the one where the sum formula is)

I wanted to return the second number in a string such as this:"0 of 0 jobs ... View all jobs"
The following worked perfectly:=MID(U3,FIND("f", U3)+1,LEN(U3)-FIND("f", U3)-23)
Until this line came up:"1 of 1 job ... View all jobs"
Obviously the "jobs" changed to "job" because of there being only 1, so the "-23" no longer worked. I need this to get the second number out of the string and it can change because the data is being refreshed from a website so it could easily change from one line to another.

It's for listing items to eBay. Ink Toners to be precise, the macro I have creates everything I need for a listing with a few msg prompts and importing data from another sheet. Saves me hours of work. Each cartridge has a Black, Cyan, Magenta, Yellow. The macro works fine for cartridge sets that go under one name. E.g: Brother TN325 Black, TN325 Cyan, TN325 Yellow... etc.
I've run into an issue with some cartridges which have different names: HP C530a Black, C531a Cyan, C532a Yellow...
I set the macro up to deal with different number, by removing the last character of the "tonername" string "C530", then replacing it with "C531".. etc.
What I haven't factored in is the ones with an A on the end. I need a way to tell it to ignore the a if there is one.
To make it clear, I will be inputting the text: C530a From this, I need to create 3 more strings: C531a, c532a and C533a
Here's the snippet of code I'm using to achieve what I'm already doing.
Code:
Selection.Replace What:=A, Replacement:=Left(y, Len(y) - 1) & "1"
Selection.Replace What:=b, Replacement:=Left(y, Len(y) - 1) & "2"
Selection.Replace What:=c, Replacement:=Left(y, Len(y) - 1) & "3"
[Code]....

I would like to know if its possible to extract just the even/odd pairs from a number.
Exp. I have the number 123 in cell A1, and would like to extract the even/odd pair, which in this case would be 13, the cell A2. I would like to be able to do this without the use of "Isodd" or "iseven" functions.

I would like to parse a part number.
ab24s-12-g4a
if there is a "-#-" in the string, that is the value I want. If the "-#-" is not present, I would like to take the first number. Currently, as written in your first example, I am getting the first number - excellent and thank you!
In the sku, the first digit reprepresents capacity. If a second number is present after the capacity portion of the sku (i.e. "-#-"), that means that they want to order it filled with less than capacity. For instance, a carton of eggs and they want 6 eggs instead of the max capacity of 12. (i.e. egg12-6-z2z). Numbers after the second octet (i.e. z2z) do not matter.
It would be a number only in the second octet. If there are characters with it, the equation should disregard it.
Here are the scenarios, and what the formula should accomplish
1) egg12 --> currently returns 12
2) egg12-6 --> would return 6
3) egg12-6-g2c --> would return 6
4) egg12-g2c --> would return 12

Have many rows of alphanumeric strings. 2-4 letters followed by a variety of numbers, some spaces, and some additional letters. What I need is to return the first number after the initial 2-4 letters, everything after that first digit is junk. Thus, I would like a formula that takes me from:
AB23400 12 -> 2
CET25800 1 -> 2
NYT67300 H01 -> 6
HSRF49900 1 -> 4

I have a spread sheet with some data strings in Column E.
In Column A I want to extract a series of number from within the data in column E.
Example data in Column E
C:cleanedsystems1021_update_log_2-12-2012.csv
C:cleanedsystems42_update_mail_log_2-12-2012.csv
I created a formula in column A "=MID(E2,20,4)". I drag this down the column and I get the following results
1021
42_u
The first result is fine but the problem is the second result. Because I am looking at fixed length I am often getting something other than the file number which I seek.
Is there a way to do a formula that will go to my starting positions (this is a constant starting point) and then look for the numbers before the first "_" as a stopping point? The maximum will always be 4 digit numbers but the problem is there are 1-3 digit numbers as well.

I need to extract a set of 5 numbers from a string of characters. The number set I need is always 5 digits long, always starts with a 1, and always begins after a period. But the number I need can occur in different parts of the string:
In each example below I would want to extract only the 10572 portion.
5194003.10572.N
5194003.10572.R
5194003.1.0010785.10572
7500008.N.5999900.10572
Additionally (if possible) if the cell is blank I don't want anything to show up, and if the string begins with a letter then I don't want anything to show up either.
