How To Remove First X Digits And Last Y Digits From A Cell
Sep 25, 2009
I am editing a wine database which contains a vast amount of data, one column has the wine name and sometimes the vintage year in the begining or at the end of the cell.
Sometimes the year is made of 2 digits (03, 05, ..) or 4 digits (1978, 2004, 2005, ...).
Is there a way to remove this vintage year form the string?
to make matters worse, there is often a single quote/apostrophe in front of the vintage year, which is driving me mad as 98% of the time it is one of these hidden ones that cannot be deleted using the find/replace function.
examples are like below:
De Wetshof Finesse/Lesca Cahrdonnay ‘07
De Wetshof Sauvignon Blanc ‘07
Lord Neethling Cabernet Franc 2002
Lord Neethling Pinotage ‘01
Bouchard Finlayson Tete de Cuvee Pinot Noir ‘07
Jacobsdal Pinotage 1994
Zondernaam Sauvignon Blanc 2007
2003 Tokara Red
1976 St Emilion
03 Tokara rose
Plasir de Merle Cabernet Sauvignon ‘05
I have been searching the Internet for the past 2 days without luck on how to delete the end of string vintage year.
I have had some luck with the left side, as in:
=IF(ISERROR(VALUE(LEFT(B2,SEARCH(" ",B2)-1))),B2,MID(B2,SEARCH(" ",B2)+1,LEN(B2)))
As I am not an expert with Excel, I have no idea on how to use VBA (every time I have tried even basic things, I failed) nor even sure how the above funtion works (found it on another site).
I thought I could acheive my goal in two steps, first removing the left side vintage and use this partial result with the RIGHT equivalent funtion, but it simply is not working!
Does anyone have an idea on how to help with this?
Ideally I would love to cut the vintage year, whether 2 or 4 digit, whether on right or left of cell and paste it in another cell, so to avoid manually doing it.
However, this is surely too complicated to do, so iwould settle with just deleting the vintage year and manually typing the vintage in another cell.

I have the following working great, but would like to see it refine a little, as the data vlookup is 6 digits, but i only needs the last 4 digits is enough for me to work, my question is how do i go about adding that to the following function i have implemented and working fine.
=IF(ISERROR(VLOOKUP(B4,' cmfs01home$peter[tracker data 4-25-14-a.xlsx]ControlSheet'!$B$2:$F$301,4,FALSE)),"",VLOOKUP(B4,' cmfs01home$peter[tracker data 4-25-14-a.xlsx]ControlSheet'!$B$2:$F$301,4,FALSE)

1. Remove the first 4 digits from each "Appeal ID"
2. Insert a new column (first column) called "Chapter"
3. Run a v-lookup down the new column against a file that is stored on my desktop. The v-lookup will cross check the Appeal ID against the file to identify the Chapter
4. Sort the data alphabetically by Chapter
5. Create seperate Excel files for each Chapter ...

I have a excel file, I need to remove the first two digits if they are certain numbers, such as 12. For example, if the number is 12987654, then I need remove 12, and it will be "987654" , but if it is not 12 in the first two digits, then keep it no change, for example if it is 345678, then keep it.
I barely work with Excel formulas, now I need connect the excel file with my Database table. I need to make the file matches the DB.

I know how to remove the first part of a text, but not the end. I have a very large amount of data in which the first column contains a product description and then the UPC code. I need to isolate the product name from the UPC code into 2 columns. I used =RIGHT(B2,14) to isolate the UPC, but since the length of the product name varies, I'm not sure how to isolate the product name. I have looked at using the TRIM and TRUNC functions without any luck. 'Text to columns' doesn't work because I have multiple spaces, 'Text to columns' would work if I could used 2 digits as the delimiter, but the function doesn't allow that.
Can someone please suggest a function or formula for this?
Here is an examples of how the text appears in the field. (Note: I only need to cut off the UPC code, I need the measure information to stay).
some really long product name 12 oz 5 bag 09-99999-99999
another shorter name 2 oz 09-99999-99998

I found a formula that would copy only the last 2 digits of a previous cell and put it in a new cell. For example below, I want the cells to the right of the below to be:
12345 45
26548 48
21854 54
211ae ae
I thought it was a =right or something.

These are source cells:
('sheet 1'!h14) 26.9% (246/914)
('sheet 1'!h15) 23.4% (314/914)
('sheet 2'!h14) 33.8% (212/577)
I want to insert ONLY the number after the left parentheses and before the slash into sheet 3 same cells and sheet 4 same cells
('sheet 3'!h14) 246
('sheet 3'!h15) 314
('sheet 4'!h14) 212
something like
='sheet 1'!h14(after (before /)...?

I have pasted over 1300 numbers in a list, all of which need to have 5 digits. However, when I pasted the 5 digit number (ie 00003) into the cell, it omits the leading 0's.
Is there any way to get these numbers back to having 5 digits....and if it omitted the 0's, can I put them back all in one fell swoop?

find a formula or function where i can remove the last 4 digits from cells. I have a spreadsheet where there was might have been concatenation do where 4 digits were added to the end of part numbers in a cell. I need to remove just the last 4 digits so that I can do matches later on. Each cell has a different number of characters and i just need to remove the last for Example 154758NE20 or NFD148574DE11. Need to remove the NE20 and DE11 respectively.

I need a function that can find a single digit in the cell containing the shifts worked. As an example, the cell may contain 1, 2, 3, 12, 13 or 23. I have tried using the FIND function, but so far I have not been able to make it work. I will continue to research the FIND function, but a function that would search a cell "containing" a specific digit would be ideal. If there is such a function out there.

Our software extract for our data base sucks and values do not align properly if all entries do not have tge exact same number of fields with data in them.
I have always done the alignment in excel manually. I can find where the data starts to misalign and would like to do this automatically.
There is an id number for each entry (row) that is 6 digits long. How can I search a row for a 6 digit number and return the address of that cell? i can use this address as a starting point and use the offset function to do so alignment from there.

I have a sheet with column A. This column A contains numbers from 1 number to 6 numbers.
So, one cell can have a '1' or a '999999' or any combination between them. Now this is the problem.
I want a formula that will fill those cells that don't contain a number up to 6 digits. So if a cell contains '254' I will like this formula to fill the cell like this: 000254.
This should happen with any number that don't have a number with six digits.
78 should be 000078, 78652 should be 078652 and so on.

I can't seem to find a way to find the max of only the last four digits of a cell, matching the first 8. As an example:
I have thousands of cells in a column like this, (and I can't add any columns to the sheet), and I have a cell with the first three digits and the second three digits. So, out of all these numbers, I want the MAX of ONLY the numbers with the first 8 digits of "800-123-". Also, the decimal on the end is how many times the number was called, and any the decimal and any number after it is to be ignored. The answer would be "800-123-0024", or "0024", I just need a faster way to find it without searching for it.
888-555-0099.2
800-123-0022.3
555-333-0474

I have a long list of 4 digit numbers:
e.g.
0234
2434
6566
4566
6785
But I only want the first 2 digits (I need the last two digits deleted). I don't want to just divide by 1000 as this will leve me with a decimal. The numbers are in text format as some of them begin with a 0. So it would be:
02
24
65
45
67

I would like to take the first three digits of column A and do a lookup of column B that would return the corresponding number from column C. For example, if I entered the formula for 103PH, the lookup would find the 103 in column B and return "2775.00" from column C...........
