Extract Number Then Precedes Given Word In A Cell?
Dec 8, 2012
The structure of my data (in each cell) is: Alpha Jan 13 35.00 Grams. So it is a record of an item (alpha in this cell), date (Jan 13), and number of grams. I need to find every cell that has this kind of record in a large data set, and after every occurrence of "Grams" I want to extract the number of grams. In this case 35.00. Note the place numbers are not equal. For example in another cell the record could be "Beta March 20 350.00 Grams".
How do I code VBA to extract the data (text) from a cell at a certain position? For ex., if the cell contains this text: "My Name Is MB" I want to extract the text starting from position 4 so that the result is "Name Is MB"
I am trying to extract the first letter of each word in a string. The string can contain either a space or a "/" as a separator. e.g. blue green or blue/green. If there is no space or "/" in the string, I need to return the 1st 2 characters.
I'm using the following formula but it is returning #VALUE!
Lets suppose that in a drop down box I have the words : "I" "want" "to" "create" "a" " sentence".
Well what I would like to do is have each word as selected in the drop down box, placed in another cell creating a sentence.
If you picked the words in order the cell should read: I want to create a sentence or it could read any combination of these words depending in the order they were picked. So it could read: I sentence want to create a sentence if the words were selected in this order.

and I'd like to use a couple of formulas in the two columns to the right of this data 1st column:a formula to obtain the number of words in a cell 2nd column:a formula to extract the last n words from a cell (ex. the last 2 words)
so that the columns would have as their results 6 west unrulu 7 #1234 easrlr
I have a list of names in one column and in the next column I have a list of numbers. The names and numbers go together. In anohter cell I would like to extract the highest number and the name related to it. The list changes often.

How can i extract text and number from a cell .For example I have a series of data like 453x, 45y in Column "A". I want text in column "B" and numbers in "C" column. The cell has variable data with diffrent length.
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!)
I need to convert numbers to text in excel 2007. I have done it before in 2003, but can't seem to remember exactly what I used. I may have used some kind of conditional formatting, but not sure.
Here is an example of what I need.
If I type "7203" in a cell I want "Home Repairs" to appear. I have a list of words associated with a list of numbers and want to be able to type the number in a cell and have the word appear.

From XL, I'm trying to search a summary document for a keyword, then copy the paragraph containing the keyword to another document.
I want to be able to do this for a variable amount of paragraphs. Currently, the following code finds the keyword in summary.doc (once) and then copies it to test.doc It's a start. I can't seem to find a way to select and copy the paragraph (even once).
The keyword is always on line1 and the paragraph is always 4 lines....

How to write the function to extract the string of text after the last backslash () and before the period (.) (i.e. "123 & xyz in the above example"). The length of the path is inconsistent in the column; still the function should extract it.
I want to return the 7 letters of text that appears after the word Timer in cell A1. So cell A1 will be a sentence with the word Timer in it somewhere and I want to return the 7 characters after it appears.
Cell in excel containing large amount of text. Contains the following text one or more times (including the speech marks): "Provide Dwd/Dwl Number: DWD*****" What I need to do is extract all of the DWD values from this cell, load into an array and dump them into another cell. It's the extraction bit that I need to sort out. In my mind the way that the code should work is:
Find all instances of 'dwd' For each instance of 'dwd' check the next/proceding character.
if the character is a space, check the next one if the character is not a number or space, break and go to the next instance of 'dwd' if the character is a number add it and the next 5 characters to a temp variable (varTemp) loop take the value of varTemp, prepend it with 'dwd' and add it to the running list/array Loop Output the full list of DWDs
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), _ ............................
How would I modify the below code to extract all of this data from multiple files? I have about a 1000 files that I need to extract all of the data from to manipulate in Excel.
