Extracting Multiple Numbers From Excel Cell Having Long Description?
Jun 12, 2014
I need to extract numbers from excel cells. For eg-
BAR TBG 04.00X02.25X26.50 1340 HRN SMLS SPEC. ES4.38694
^^^ This is one of the cells. I need to pull out 04.00, 2.25, 26.50, 1340 into different cells from one given cell.
I have tried using =MID() function, but I need to make changes into that formula everytime the position of first numeric letter changes while I go along a column. And I need to make changes into it as I go along the row.
It is taking me a lot of time in extracting numbers from one cell into different cells and I am afraid that I will spend the rest of my life getting this stuff done.

I am currently trying to import multiple 'long descriptions' onto Lightspeed product cards for display on an upcoming website. This is probably a very basic excel problem but I can't seem to find a simple solution online. Basically When I paste descriptions into a cell they break up into separate cells by line or paragraph break When I need them to stay together as one long description. Even if I have text qualifiers around the text they still only import one paragraph into lightspeed. Maybe that i am not saving it as the right file extension...

I would like to extract multiple numbers from a single cell. The cells contain -, /, and blank spaces are delimiters. An example is 4 - 3 1/4 and because of the way they use that number, it really means 4 inches and 3.25 fifths of an inch (3.25/5 inches) which is weird. I want to go through each cell and store the 4, 3, and 1/4 as variables so I can then manipulate to convert them to the proper inch value (I can perform the conversion code, I just need to know how to set those variables in the cell). And I would like it to automatically do it when a cell has been changed. formatting to maintain overall table width dimensions so if you know anything about that,
both cells are blank
4 - 3 1/4
cell value is enter in on the left
4 - 3 1/4
4.65
converted cell value appears on the left

I am trying to do is extract the volume size of products in 'ml'
from 10k plus products from a description field cell.
this description field could also contain the weight of the product in grams
so I cannot just do a search for a numeric string ,
it has to be associated with the milli-litres statement .
is is possible to do a sort of ' *ml ' search and then select and copy to another cell ???

I am trying to extract values from a text. I used macro to solve the problem. I was able to extract the numbers however i am trying not to extract all of the numbers in text. For example as you can see below, i am trying to get only 22.99 The only unique thing here can be $ sign i believe. I need to put a criteria that selects the number right after $ sign and extracts 5-6 decimals after that.
**work lamp/desk light led;orion8879 final price: $22.99 (store)**
this is the text in a cell and i only need 22.99 not 8879)

I'm doing the website for my company and things have to be entered into the site via spreadsheets. I have a list of numbers
e.g. 3652, 2845, 50925, 4809, 18392
that need to have the spaces removed in order for them to work.
e.g. 3652,2845,50925,4809,18392
There are over 500 cells with multiple numbers in each, so I don't want to do it one at a time, and rightly so, because Excel keeps changing the format and giving me something like
3.6*10^30 and loses all my commas.
Is there an easier way?

We are changing management systems here and in order to do so we need to provide the names and addresses of over 400 different people. Our current management system stores people's addresses as a whole for example; 32, Example Street, Town, County, Postcode.
I cant extract just the numbers because I only need the house number and not the postcode.
After searching several forums I thought I had solved it with this.
Cell A1 is the extracted address from current management system reading 32, Example Street, Town, County, IU13 8TY
Cell B1 is =LEFT(A1, SEARCH(" ",O15,1))
Cell C1 is =SUM(MID(0&B1,LARGE(ISNUMBER(--MID(B1,ROW(INDIRECT("1:"&LEN(B1))),1))*ROW(INDIRECT("1:"&LEN(B1))),ROW(INDIRECT("1:"&LEN(B1))))+1,1)*10^ROW(INDIRECT("1:"&LEN(B1)))/10)
That only gives me the number "3" though and I need 32.
Basically A1:A400 will be addresses as above and in cell B1:B400 I need just there house number at the start.

Column C is the tricky one. It comes from the bank and somewhere in there is a 4-digit tenant reference. I did a formula to try and isloate it and it worked on most but if you look at the very first row, there is a spurious 99 in there, so it didn't work. Is there a way of EXTRACTING the first four consecutive numbers and placing them in another cell?

Here is an example
Column A: Column B:
Row 1: Walmart 7886 1540.12 1540.12
Row 2: Walgreens 7886 37.95 ?
Row 3: Exxon Moble 7886 86.37 ?
I need to extract the number (regardless of the amount of characters) signified by the "." Another words, I need a formula that will give the the answers of the following in column "B"
1540.12
37.95
86.37
These are the amounts spent. It would be easier if there was a "$" but theres not... so I need to find the "." and give me the numbers associated with it.

The link to my file is: [URL] ........
I am using excel 2003.
My query goes like this:
I need to find out "total lifted quantity"(i.e. the sum of 'first state lifted quantity'+'second state lifted quantity'+'third state lifted quantity') for each "state" for each "size" and each "grade".
However when I am applying a pivot table (as seen in Sheet1) it is not giving data in lucid form. I don't want to split the data for three states in three different tables (as seen in Sheet 4).

My problem is I cannot copy from a Form Control drop down box, and I need to do this for ~10 drop down boxes in about 200 xls files. The files follow a template so the drop down button Inputs are uniform. Here is some more detail:
I’m building an Access Database so that our data (currently in many, many Excel Spreadsheets) can be efficiently queried. The old system was that when asset data was collected, the data would be entered into an Excel spreadsheet, using a Template. So for example:
Project A1234
Name
Main Street Pipe
High Street Pipe
Ref No.
12345
12346
Installation date
22/08/13
19/07/12
X Coordinate
55667
99212
Y Coordinate
77889
12364
We have hundreds of these files, but I managed to get all the files in one folder and Paste and Transpose the data from the relevant Cell Ranges in each file (using a VB sub) into ONE summary sheet. Success; or so I thought.
Unfortunately for one generation of the template (people changed them slightly every year), the template had people enter information into Drop Down Menus. Not a problem when they’re associated with a cell, but these were free floating Form Controls.. so you can’t actually click and copy from them, or call them in VB as you would a specific cell.. afaik.
So my issue is how can I extract the data from those Form Buttons? I’ll try and provide as much info as I can:
Firstly I tried to find some sort of identifier for each Form Button. The dropdowns are called Combo Boxes, (Developer tab > Insert > Combo Box (Form Control) ), and when you select them (by right clicking) and hit the View Code button in Developer Tab > Controls the following shows up in VB.
Sub DropDown44_Change()
End Sub
I’m guessing that the number is related to the button so that’s one useful thing, an identifier of sorts. There’s no actual code there though really from what I can see.. My problem is I have no idea how to extract from DropDown44!
The range of values in the drop down comes from a separate sheet where there’s just a list of the values. There aren’t any cells linked to the drop downs though. If I enter a cell in (Right Click) Format Control > Cell link: then it prints the number (e.g. 4) of the value in the range. So if the drop down options are “Monday”, “Tuesday”, “Wednesday”, “Thursday” and “Thursday” is selected, the linked cell says: “4”.
They didn’t link a cell, then I could call that cell in a VB sub and the job would be done. Unfortunately they didn’t, so I tried Recording a Macro and selecting the drop down form control.. That didn’t really work, except if I right clicked it, I got some more info from the macro VB:
ActiveSheet.Shapes.Range(Array("Drop Down 19")).Select
So is my drop down an Array? My understanding of an Array is that it’s a list of arguments.. all I get there is the name of the button. I am not experienced in VB so this is as far as I’ve got. Perhaps I can get a sub to select the button using the above line, but I need the info from it, i.e. which value is currently selected in the Drop Down.
(Using Excel 2010 but the .xls files are from ~2005)

I really don't know how easy or difficult it might be, but here it is:
I have something like this (example) :
--------------------------------------
| A | B | C | D |
--------------------------------------
1 | 15| W1 | | |
2 | 5| W2 | | |
3 | 7| W1 | | |
4 | 9| W3 | | |
5 | 21| W4 | | |
6 | 14| W2 | | |
--------------------------------------
I want to have the result of all the W1 in D1, All W2 in D2, All W3 in D3 and all W4 in D4 without having to create any additional SUMs somewhere else to discriminate and then get the result (e.g. =IF($B2="W2",$A2,0) and copying the formula all along the column, then =SUM(xx:xx) and get the result.)

I have values in a column of cells in the format (All numbers in a single cell)
34567,43510,'1'
44049,99820,'1'
11124,37373,'1'
etc
up to ten such entries may appear in each cell with an arbitrary number in each cell. They were entered using the ALT+Enter method. Is there an easy formula to extract each row (such as 44049,99820,'1') to use in a formula. If there are two entries I would like to write two separate rows like:
LINE 34567,43510,'1'
LINE 44049,99820,'1'
If a macro would be required I understand and could use that also.

I have about 70K rows of data. This is a pull from a CRM system and one of the columns contains Free text which may or may not contain a reference ID.
So basically, I need to be able to identify which (if any) of the 60 or so Reference ID appears somewhere in the text. It may be at the beginning, somewhere in the middle or at the end.
So i created two formulas:
=ISNUMBER(SEARCH("MEBIG3",$P:$P))
I created 60 or so of these columns, all with a different Reference ID (MEBIG3 being the ID in this instance). I put the Reference ID in the Cell 1 of each of the columns. I then got a True in the cells wherever I matched the Ref ID to in the description field.
I then created another column with this:
=IF(AO4=TRUE,$AO$1,IF(AP4=TRUE,$AP$1,IF(AQ4=TRUE,$AQ$1,IF(AR4=TRUE,$AR$1,IF(AS4=TRUE,$AS$1,
IF(AT4=TRUE,$AT$1,IF(AU4=TRUE,$AU$1,IF($AV$2=TRUE,AV3,IF($AW$2=TRUE,$AW$1,IF(AX4=TRUE,$AX$1,
IF(AY4=TRUE,$AY$1,IF(AZ4=TRUE,$AZ$1,IF(BA4=TRUE,$BA$1,IF(BB4=TRUE,$BB$1,IF(BC4=TRUE,$BC$1,
IF(BD4=TRUE,$BD$1,IF(BE4=TRUE,$BE$1,IF(BF4=TRUE,$BF$1,IF(BG4=TRUE,$BG$1,IF(BH4=TRUE,$BH$1,
[Code] ........
So wherever there was a True, it returned the Cell at the top of the column which has the Ref ID in it. I put a pivot table and it worked, but the problem is that Excel just can't really handle the number of calculations. The file keeps crashing and becoming corrupt (There are 70K rows, times 60 or so columns). Also I have actually run out of columns I can add in the nesting, I really need more.
Any way of doing the whole piece of analysis all in one Cell. So basically it says "If ADM1 appears anywhere in Column P return ADM1, If ADM2 appears anywhere in Column P return ADM2 and so on".

Is there a way either by VBA or manually (preferably both, if possible) to actually unite the X amount of numbers that are in a cell given the contents is alphanumeric? I'll give you the following examples to see if you can understand what I' referring to?
DATA output should be
asd67,h876 --------> 67876
2,3,ujdj5&34 -------> 23534
909k86m34 --------> 9098634

I have data stored in mixed cell that i need to extract to different cells.
Q/K code: AZVR Name: "AzVR" Ltd Nominal: 0.1 USD
R. Number: AZ3570011 Category: ABC
So i need each of AZVR, "AZVR" Ltd, 0.1, AZ3570011 and ABC in different cells. The characters could be in different lengths. Is there any formula that can find Q/K code in text then write characters after it until space or Name starts?

I import data from another program in order to evaluate it. Unfortunately, one of the fields I need contains copyright data, however, it has been very inconsistently entered into the database. For example, sometimes the data appears "c1999." or "-1999" or "" or "[1999]" or even "19?" and also sometimes "1999, 1990" and many other variations on that. I discovered the link in the excel help file about extracting numbers from alphanumeric strings, but my situation is still too variable for it to apply; that file didn't take into account that alphanumeric strings don't always lump numbers and letters together. I was able to correct a few things, but my command of excel isn't knowledgeable enough to really come up with something effective.
Some ideas I had that I don't know how to implement: is there a way to strip non-numerical characters from an alphanumeric string? (I've been doing some find/replaces to get rid of some of it, but that is obviously not very efficient when I have to repeat this process daily.) Perhaps then I could just detect the first 4 numbers of the string somehow. However, that doesn't solve the problem of when a wild card is used as in "199?" or "20?" etc.
Bottom line, I just need to grab the first four numbers that appear in the string (but NOT additional numbers that occur after a wild card or a space if the year was not completed in 4 numbers; in that case I'd just be happy with a null value).
I've been doing this with a formula so far. My only experience with macros has been in simply recording them, not actually writing them, but I'll give anything a try.

I have this text in excel in every cell, but I want to extract only certain data from within the cell eg:
Name: John Doe
Price min: $2000
Price max: $3000
Contact Number: 1800-600-400
E-Mail: john doe@somewhere.com
*** Please note that we are trying our best ***
I need to extract only the name, contact number and e-mail from withing these cells, or delete the info I don't need from all the cells. The text does appear exactly like this in the cell. see attached screenshot
This info was extracted from Outlook into a CSV format and this is the body of the mail only....

I am working on an inventory issue, we use a bar code scanner to read in inventory, and when we move inventory.
One of our inventory items has a number that is 20-numerical characters long, Excel seems to convert the last 5 characters to zeros (0).
An Example number would be: 89148000000286153971 Excel changes the number to: 89148000000286100000

I have an issue with long numbers (16 digits). To display them correctly in excel I formatted the cells as text. This part works fine, but now for some reason conditional formatting marks different numbers as duplicates.
In my case 3081281170122602 and 3081281170122601 are considered as duplicates by excel.

I have a mass of data which look something like this:
table removed
and I require the ranges of reference numbers to be listed in a column one above the other, which requires inserting new rows. I also need the date & description columns copied down into the newly inserted rows.
So basically for example I would want the top row to now read:
table removed
and then apply the same procedure to the other ranges below this.

I have a list full of different IDs with different version numbers (This format: AKH123.1).
I'm trying to clean the list - removing all duplicate IDs but leaving only the largest version number.
I managed to remove the last digit using LEN/VLOOKUP and removing duplicates, but leaving only the largest version number is too tricky for me. I've thought about trying something with LARGE but can't wrap my mind around it.
My thought process went like this: I want to find all occurrences of "AKH123" and return the largest one.
The list contains about 8000 entries and this would save en enormous amount of work.
Here is a tiny portion of the list:
AKH450.1
AKH451.1
AKH451.3
AKH451.4
AKH451.5
AKH451.6
AKH451.7
AKH451.8
AKH452.1
AKH453.3
AKH454.1
AKH455.1
AKH455.2
