Extract Date From Long String?
May 15, 2012
I've got a string of text (that can vary in length) and contains a date (could be any month)..
I'm trying to extract the date from the string using VBA.
For example, the string may be:
"The following price of the service is effective until July 1, 2012 and may change whenever"
I need to first determine if the string has a date in it and then extract the date....
I did a search on mrexcel.com and found the following formula that will tell me if the text has a date (returns true/false)...however, i'm not sure how to use this in VBA nor how to find location of date....
=SUMPRODUCT(COUNTIF(B1,"*"&N73:N84&"*"))>0
B1 contains the text, N1:N12 contain the name of the months....

In a long string of characters and values, for example in B2:
Cos PGA 3.00 8.98 0.75 Cis TAK 1.00 2.99 0.25 Gsr PAM 14.00 41.92 0.82 Art GUN 3.00 8.98 0.18 Tlu NRG 9.00 26.95 0.33
I want to extract the second value after the specific string which is in in column headers C1, D1,E1...:
Art GUNCis TAKAxa MLPGsr PAMPen NMECos PGATlu NRGRot KGR
so for the example the result should be 8.98 in cell C2; 2.99 in cell D2; no value in E2; 41.92 in F2...
I attached a sheet with the table.

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.

What I want to do is extract the date only from a string of text in a cell and put it in the cell next to it. The date is not alway in the same position within the text string and although similiar, the text string can differ. There are around 6000 lines in the sheet, I've pasted 4 as an example below.
THE BIG COMPANY LTD 15312178 COLLECTION 14.12.09
The Small Company Ltd 19073864 COLLECTION
DATE 17/05/10 511438 511437 511436 ORD LE
The Medium Size Company 19080948 COLLECTING WEDS 26/05/10
The Very Good Company 19149554 COLL DATE:28.06.2010 175 PEA PARK ROAD Z7 9AB

- In column A, I have list of items that take up 700 cells (i.e. the text is in cells A1, A2... A700).
- I have applied conditional formatting to these 700 cells, so some of them are now highlight YELLOW based on a criteria (i.e. cells A3, A14, A422, A654 are yellow)
- I want to create a list of these yellow cells in column B.

I have in my cell a number, namely, 5260007005020024100055040300004110000000
What I would like to do is extract a set of digits from it,
Starting from the second 2, and shown here in the dots. I need all of the numbers in a separate cell, "52600070050200 .24100055.. 040300004110000000"
Hope this is clear. bearing in mind the number will remain as one so I would need to start at 14 then using LEN or something I'm not sure, extract the following 8 into another cell.

I have two lists. A1:A7000 has 7000 items and B1:B10000 has 10,000 items all in random order. List B includes all the items on list A, but with an additional 3000 items. How can I extract the 3000 items that are exclusively on list B? I would like to put these on a new list C1:C3000.

I have a very long string of characters inside one cell.
Now, I would like to divide this string into multiple rows and I know that next row should start after each 80 character. In other words, 81th character is a start of a new row.
How can I do that?

I'm trying to use application.match() but I'm running into a issue where I don't know if I'll be matching a string or long data type...
Here's the snippet of code:
Code:
' UNIT DATA
' Set Unit#
s1 = ActiveSheet.Pictures(Application.Caller).Name
iLen = Len(s1)
s1 = Mid(s1, 2, iLen - 2)
' Set Sel Ex Work Date
iCheck = Application.Match("MACHINE_NUMBER", Sheets("Allocation").Columns(1), 0)
[code]....
How can I get application.match to look for strings if s1 = "ABC123" or numbers if s1 = "123456"
I've tried dim variant and s1 + 0... But, haven't come up with a solution.

I am trying to automate a report writing spreadsheet in which the text never changes in the cell (up to and over 50 words long).
Is there any way in which the figures within that text could be linked to another cell and change accordingly.
For example: a particular cell might contain the following which never changes apart from the figures:
"the performance of the fund was (B5) followed by a change in the index of (B6)...........the performance of the irish stocks was (A19) etc etc."
I know something can be done in formatting but for very long text would this be impracticle?

I have some code which looks through a logfile, and creates new worksheets based on items found in a particular column. This is normally working fine. However, there is a particular case where the item in the column is too long - it is actually the path name of a particular file, and which exceeds 31 characters.
This is causing an error in VBA. Is there a way that the worksheet can be renamed if the character string is too long?

I have a spreadsheet that has a column of text that is always 10 characters long. There are 10 rows of text so there could be 100 text characters if all rows are filled. The rows usually will not all be filled. There will probably be blank rows between used rows. I have been able to capture the text and put it into one cell as one long text which is ok but I want to be able to break it up into the 10 character strings again, separated with a comma and space between each 10 characters.
This is the code I used to collect the 10 character text strings and put them all together as the variable "result". I used & ", " after ... Cells(r,17) which worked fine unless there was a blank row. If the row was blank it put in a comma and space anyway so I ended up with duplicate(triplicate) commas and spaces.
Private Sub test_Click()
result = ""
For r = 5 To 32 Step 3
'If Cells(r, 17) "" Then
result = result & Cells(r, 17)
Next r
Range("r5") = result
End Sub

I have a google earth KML file that I have converted to text, and through a bunch of manipulation have been able to pull a series of GPS coordinate strings into a single cell string. Unfortunately, the string data is beyond what excel 2007 can handle for a single cell. so my thought is to have excel pull each coordinate string into a separate cell with which i can then run a macro to develop a new KML dynamically. (changing multiple attributes based on a query to a database)
Each string of coords actually maps out a single region (path) on the KML, truth be told it is telecom rate center data, and each rate center will have numerous other variables applied to it depending on my company's voice network capability for a given rate center. Currently my only desire is to depict differently any rate centers that I'm able to deliver VOIP services to by showing them in a different color...but these change very often so it will support to be able to auto generate the map from time to time.
the raw data from the KML looks like this:
Code:
CLINTONVL
RATE_CNTRCLINTONVL
STATEPA]]>
ff000000
1
0
1
[Code] ..........
After doing my data import, i extracted via various manipulations, the rate center name (a common lookup value that stays constant across multiple databases), and the string of coordinates. this is where i run into trouble. i need to pull each coord into a separate cell assuming i won't run out of cells in the x coordinates to gather this data OR find a way to grab the data via another lookup to another document...not desireable.
I want my output to look like:
Code:
RC_NAMECOORDSLATAVoip?
ALIQUIPPA
80.334114,40.520974,0-80.327493,40.520023,0-80.323915,40.51957,0-80.31997800000001,
40.519933,0-80.316958,40.521221,0-80.314431,40.521445,0-80.314262,40.521332,0-80.31398,
40.521194,0-80.31315600000001,40.520832,0-80.313057,40.520794,0-80.312805,40.520641,
[Code] ........
First off, my import was jacked up by missing some comma's...this i can fix easily with the string importation and manipulation HOWEVER...i still run into the issue of string length OFTEN.

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 have a problems here. The problems is attached in the file. I wanna extract alpha/char from a string. Example: I wanna extract the words "(M)" with the bracket from the string "Toothbrush (M)" in column A. After extracting the (M) out, I wanna do a validation to compare the (M) in column B with another data in column C, if the (M) is same as the data called "Medium" in column c, the validation will return "Match" in the column d!

for some reason every number in excel is automatically formatting as long date. while i can go into the individual cells, columns, rows, sheets and change the format it always auto formats to date at the outset.

I have a long date and time text value in a cell such as "2013/10/02 07:43:39.39", where the fractions of a second are very important.
I can use cdate([text]) to convert the text string to a value, but only if i omit the seconds fraction: "2013/10/02 07:43:39".
Otherwise i get a type mismatch error.
Is there any way i can get the whole date/time string converted to a date value? The only way i can think to do it it at the moment is to convert the date/time, then divide the seconds fraction by 86400 and add the 2 values. Is there a better way?
Secondly, i have a large number of these date strings, typically >30k lines x 7 columns. Each string is preceded and trailed by a [space] character.
I can strip these extra spaces no problem. And, i can "loop" to perform it, again no problem. But it's going to take time to perform and i'd rather not if i can avoid it.

I have a string that follows this format: SAMSUNG CT797F-1
From this string I need to extract 797F only. Further complicating the problem is that its not always SAMSUNG it could be ABB CT797F-1 or KOMSATISU CT797F-1
I have implemented a function that can extract all the numbers, but can't think of how to extract 797F from the various different strings.

How to assign a variable of type Long to the below code.
1) Dim searchField as LOng
ActiveSheet.Range("N2").FormulaArray = "=MAX(IF($A$2:$A$200=""" & searchField & """,$C$2:C$200))"
2) ActiveSheet.Range("N2").FormulaArray = "=MAX(IF($A$2:$A$200= searchField,$C$2:C$200))"
1) code failed because I want the variable searchField to have a data type of LONG.
2) code failed because it seems like excel thought the search criteria is of same searchField.

I have successfully seperated the first part using MID (It's always 5 digits) but the second part has a varing length which then impacts on the third and fourth parts of the string.... Any ideas?
