In cell A1 contains a string, how do I get the number of position of the last numeric character from right to left (this value will be in cell B1).
Example: 12543AR3372C31WWW (In Cell A1)
4 (In Cell B1)
I am trying to work out how to get nth position of a character in a string. For example in this
Code:
kjishdfiuayigdscka
if I use the formula
Code:
=FIND("i",I$1),
it will give me answer 3. But I want the position of 3rd "i" in the string. The answer should be 12. How can I change this formula to get the correct result?
on the web I've found this formula, which returns the postion of the last occurrence of the character in cell B1 in the string in cell A1:
=MAX((MID(A1,ROW(INDIRECT("A1:A"&LEN(A1))),1)=B1)*ROW(INDIRECT("A1:A"&LEN(A1))))
How do I turn this into a VBA function?
Title should read: Finding the nth Occurrence of a character within a text string
I have a very long text string that is delimited by about 50 "/" to segment certain values within the text string. I want to be able to extract the text between the 33rd and 34th occurrence of "/". How to do this?
I have a few thousand products codes (i.e ABCD123BLA08 or SHU267BLA) They are non standardised in length or structure. I wish to pull out everything upto the end of the third numeric digit.( ie ABCD123 and SHU267) I cannot use left as they are all different lengths. Ideally i would serach for a non numeric char after the number then use left up to that point. Search can't do this, FIND can't do this.
Summary
ABCD123BLA08 would be ABCD123
SHU246BLU would be SHU246
I147ORT08-12 would be I147
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 have some cells with some spaces and then text where I want to find the position of the first letter. Do any of you know about any function I can use?
The example below contain 5 spaces and then my name. It should give me the answer 6.
" Magne"
Let's say we have a text string in the excel cell: 12.123.12.1
Is there any way to get the latest dot's position using excel's functions?
How to find and show position number? I try merged two function, but doesn't work

The report generated from our co. software in excel have negative figures suffixed as "-" for ex., payable shown as 21373533-
- The value is treated as text in excel
- How should i Bring the negative sign for this type of data as prefix
when there is huge data and also in a columnar manner.
Is it possible to find the location of different characters in a string (using VBA)? Normally I would use InStr of InStrRev option in VBA but my situation is a little more complicated.
The character I am looking for is not always the same, sometimes it is a , or a . or a : or a "blank" etc
I tried to do it like:
dim strChar as string
strChar = "[,.? /]"
SearchPosition = InStr ("cell location", strChar) (searchposition is the name of the function I am trying to make)
This works if I define only 1 character, this way it gives me a 0 as outcome
I have tried to change it to strChar = "[,]" or strChar = "[.]" or strChar = "[ ]" but this doesn't work.
I have a text string in a cell, something like:
000024AC1011.
I need to find a way to find the first nonzero character in the string, and what position it is in. For instance, in the above example, 2 is the first non-zero character, so the function would return 5, since the 2 is the fifth character into the string.
why this code only works till the first assignment?:
Dim pos As String
Sheets("Sheet1").Select
pos = Range("A1"). Find("John").Address
pos = Range("A1").Find("Mary").Address
pos = Range("A1").Find("Peter").Address
In the second assigment
pos = Range("A1").Find("Mary").Address
I get a "Object Variable or with block variable not set" error message.
I have been confronted with an issue that has bugged me: Now do I extract a part of the string according to lets say "markers"?
Here is what I mean:
I use the code below to get the bottom range of my tables:
Code:
blimit = Activecell.Address
I haven't had problems because my tables were small, then I would:
Code:
blimit = Right(blimit, 3)
If the table was small there was no problem, since lets say the Activecell.Address = "$C$123", resulting in blimit = 123.
My how do I extract a part of the string, knowing I have 2 "$" ? That way I would make a version of this that always works.
I cannot use FIND or any formulas I am aware of since they all start counting from Right to Left... I thought of using Replace() to get the first "$" and change it for something else like "-" then looking for the second "$". But Replace() basically changes both signs... making my idea... well obsolete...
I have a choice of 9 command buttons on a form that enter a short string of text into a textbox. Each button enters a different string into the textbox. The string is the prefix to a product serial number. Once the user has clicked the button & entered his preferred prefix I would like the cursor to be flashing after the last character ready for the user to manually type in the remainder of the product serial number. I'm guessing (with my limited ability) that I have to create a function to do this & then call the function when the button is clicked ?

Given 5 rows in column A, I have strings that has the word 'Qty' and some none. For any string that has the word 'Qty', I want the numeric value before it. For string that doesn't have the word 'Qty', I want it to be 1. My question is, how should I added the numeric string without a helper column?
Column A
Desired Qty to Take
some string name and ended with (4 Qty)
4
some string name without the word Qty
1

I am trying to create what should be a unique string.
I figured the easiest way to do this would be to use the value given by Now().
However I can't find out how to actually get the result of Now() as a number.
If on a spreadsheet I put in a cell: =Now() and then format that cell as 'General' it gives me the number I am trying to get programatically.
I tried:
IDMacro Out Put
X11891189
cdecde
CONFRCONFR
175175
D0101101
I ahve a sheet having two column one is "ID" and other is "Macro Out Put" as shown above , is that possible with VBA code that it give the same result as i shown above in column "Macro Out Put". for reference i also attch the file
say I have a string that looks like this
C:Documents and Settingsme[test 2-2006.xls]Sheet1
I want to extract the DATE prior to .xls. I can get to this:
C:Documents and Settingsme[test 2-2006
It is possible that the filename would have numbers in it prior to the date.
I'm trying to figure out a way to get to the last SPACE in the string.
I have the following data.
Column A is for ID and column B is for Notes.
I need find a formula that will extract the number that is highlighted in red and place it in column C. Would this be possible?
ID
INTERNAL NOTES

I'm looking for some VBA code that would look at a column of data, look at each cell value in that column and if the cell value starts with the letter 'G' and the 5th character in that cell is not 'Z' or 'X' I would like to highlight that cell. Example:G123-123 would be highlighted whereas G123Z-123 would not.

I'm trying to extract alphanumeric data before and after a numeric string. The numeric string is in the middle of a URL, which is a varying distance from the start and end.
