Locate Text String After First Space And Before Last Space
May 26, 2007
I have been working on different formulas to return the text string between the first and last space and have been unsuccessful. Is this possible?
I have tried several combos or Left and Right, I have been able to get the values after the first space, and the values before the last space, but not between the spaces.
String: Y60
~C CULT NUCLEUS 3X2 SPRING WST BK XL
Desired results: D60
CULT NUCLEUS 3X2 SPRING WST BK
i have used the RIGHT function to remove the 1L/1S and the 1L from the samples belows
the problem i have is when the 1L is in its cell there are 3 spaces before it how can i remove those spaces so that all the data is to the left of the cell
This formula finds the last space from the right and returns the values less the last space and whatever is to the right- =TRIM(IF(LEFT(Y25,2)="~C",REPLACE(LEFT(Y25,FIND("`",SUBSTITUTE(Y25," ","`",LEN(Y25)-LEN(SUBSTITUTE(Y25," ",""))))),1,FIND(" ",Y25),""),RIGHT(Y25,LEN(Y25)-FIND(" ",Y25))))
Results of a item of a whole size: LAKAI KOSTON SLCT INDY SHOE BK
However- I forgot I had added a criteria to convert records that have a fractional value from decimal to a fractional value and an extra space shows up. I need to alter the above formula to handle this additional condition, returning the value w/ out the second space and the size 10 shown below.

I have the following formula that works fine until someone uses the space bar to clear a cells contents
=COUNTA($D11:$AI11)
When the space bar is used to clear a cells contents the COUNTA statements includes the space in the count. How do I count the number of cells with content and exclude the space bar space in a cell?
there is AT() which finds the first occurrence of a string searching from the left like FIND() and SEARCH(), and RAT() which finds the first occurrence searching from the right-to-left.
A single column with names: John Doe Jane Marie Smith Dr. Alex R. Jones Bill
I need two columns that would look like: John.................Doe Jane Marie........Smith Dr. Alex R.........Jones Bill
I have a column called "Unit Size," which contains data such as 200 g, 0.32 g, 15 mL, 2 mg.
I need a macro to automatically insert a space between the numbers and the letters, for example, if someone types 10g it automatically converts it to 10 g.
The strings may be of different lengths, i.e. contain different numbers of decimal places or signficant figures.
On sheet one, in the column column C I have cells which have characters separated by a space character (For example cell C3 looks like this: "L C"; cell C12 looks like this: "S BF54FR"). There are only a few cells which have more than three characters. The characters are separated by a space character. I would like the macro to do the following: take out each on of the character in put in the same row next column. (For example if in column C has the value: "L C" then in the same row column D should have the value "L" and column E should have the value "C". Or if column C was "S BF54FR" then column D should have the value "S" and column E "BF54FR".
I'm looking for a way to extract the data after the first space in a string to after the first set of numbers (always 8 digits). The formula I'm using is not accurate since the number of words that appears between the first space to the first set of numbers changes.
I am interested in some sort of macro or formula that will strip all of the characters in a cell that come after that last space. My difficulty lies in that the string isn't a constant character count nor is the string always the same.

I have text string and would like two formulas to find, 1) the characters after the last space and 2)to find the number of characters after the last space.
I am trying to split a string into separate cells. I have managed to generate the formula for the description and first dlr value in the string but I am have trouble figuring out how to build functions for the rest of the string.
I have a list of phone numbers in which name of the person and phone numbers are joined together. I would like to separate the name and phone number. Is there any way to do that. Example: I have the text like George9898989898, now i want it to appear as George 9898989898.
I have copy some data from other program which when paste, it give as text value with few space at end of the text value ie 120@@@ (@represent spacing).
I try using text to column to delimited the space but it not working.
I have a text file, which is been imported to excel sheet. There are 2 fields in the text file. Each field has to be placed in one column. The first field has values with space. Due to this the first field is split into 2 fields and totally 3 columns are imported in the excel sheet. Have set .TextFileSpaceDelimiter=True so that it would split the 2 fields, but since the first field has space in it, it splits into 3 fields. Is their any alternate way to obtain the above?
I have a name field that contains last name comma first name space parenthesis text parenthesis space parenthesis text (may have a space or hyphen within then a final parenthesis).
Examples:
Smith, John (MD) (Family Practice) Brown, Alice (DO) (Oncology) White, Joseph (MD) (OB/GYN)
I need to remove everything after the degree so that it looks like this:
Smith, John (MD) Brown, Alice (DO) White, Joseph (MD)
I am entering large amounts of text into a text box uisng VBA code.
In VBE I need to line break the text using "space _" in order I can keep the text manageable on the screen. Problem is VBA is telling me there is a limit to the number of line breaks I can have in a sub, how I can solve this, ideally would like to paste a para of text at a time.
I download players names from the internet for a football program I have and then have a formula that separates their names from their numbers. The problem is that in the cell with the players name their is always a space before the name starts. How can I get rid of this space?
The current text I download comes from the internet as follows:
2 Tom Bellchambers 4 Jobe Watson 5 Brent Stanton 7 Leroy Jetta 9 Brendon Goddard 11 David Zaharakis 12 Stewart Crameri 15 Courtenay Dempsey
These are all in column A I have the following formula in column D:
The formula separates the names from the numbers but it leaves a space before the name starts such that in column D the first name woud be appear as:
Tom Bellchambers (or - ""Tom""Bellchambers) Jobe Watson
And so on. My computer tries to match up these names in another sheet but because there is a space before the name begins it doesn't register. I got the formula above from one of you geniuses a while back and have NFI what it really means but alter it slightly so it gets rid of that space at the start of the name.
Add a blank space after a specific text? I have many cells in a column that all begin with the same two letters followed by more text. Something like this:
I am try to get a space between the date and time but just can't get it. This code is entering the date and time in a textbox on a user form. I really don't need the Seconds at all.
This is what im getting in the text box. 11/23/20137:41:30 PM This is what I would like. 11/23/2013 7:41:30 PM
This is the code I am using.
Private Sub UserForm_Initialize() edate1.Value = Format(Date & Time, "mm/dd/yyyy") End Sub
