Pull Number By Position From AlphaNumeric Text
Apr 10, 2008
I am having an issue with formatting a cell to 'general'. I have a macro that runs using a formula (i.e. =MID(A12, 18,5)) to extract certain characters from an external data source. I then use only the values of that formula. There then is another macro that compares that value to another value in another worksheet. The issue I am having is when the macro runs, the code is read as ActiveCell.Offset(0, 3).Value...but instead of returning the value in 'general' format, it returns it with what appears to be text (i.e. "75.50" instead of 75.5). This acts as a mismatch since the quotes appear.
I have attempted several things to correct, but even if I try to format-->general it maintains the quotes. The only way it changes is if I click within the cell...then it turns to general (i.e."75.00" becomes 75.5). I am not sure what is the issue.

The title of this thread is the best way I can describe what I wish to accomplish. You see, I have a column of information requests in an Excel spreadsheet, each of which his tagged with an alphanumeric request number, and I wish to sort and/or perform and min/max function on the request identification. However, each ID has a IDR in front of it - for instance, IDR000452 - and the letters make the system read the contents as text. Does anyone know of a formula I can use to create a new cell which contains only the numerical contents of the above example?

I have data on two spread sheets which I am trying to cross reference. On the 1st spread sheet I have a list of product codes e.g. 22886, On the 2nd Spread sheet I have a list of product titles which all include product codes within the text e.g. CHRISTMAS FANCY DRESS COSTUME - SANTA SPARKLE OUTFIT 22886 M
I need to insert a formula into the 1st spread sheet which will tell me if based on the product code it is present in the 2nd spread sheet. I have tried VLOOKUP and I think because I am trying to search for a code within a text string it keeps failing! All cells are general cells but the position of the code within the titles varies.

We use excel to organize salaries and contracts for my fantasy baseball league. I need an easy way to go through all the teams and subtract one year from each players contract. This is an example of a team.
The contracts are in the columns like this NG-3
I would like to change that to NG-2

Is it possible to increment / decrement cells using wild characters? I've found myself needing to increment values at different position, for e.g. :
ABC-###-FR05-AB
ABC-222-FR##-AB
C##445-KJ
where I would want to be incrementing # placeholders. It would help if I can give it a start number, and the increment amount (which can be different than 1).
What about possibly extending it a bit more to include two or more place holders at the same time as follows:
ABC##- FR*** (where # would have its own starting number and increment value, and * would have its own).

I want to be able to return a text string of either Trainee 1 or Trainee 2, (or default to other text) based on codes that are 4 digits (DD01, KKB1, KKB2, KKC2, GG03, etc, where starting with K and ending with 1 or 2 is the criteria for TR 1 or TR 2 . There are two many KK** items to list them all in an If statement and I can't seem to use a wildcard.
=IF (right(c1,1) = "1", "Trainee 1", B1)
gets me halfway there I think but of course doesn`t pick up Trainee 2 and also returns Trainee 1 when it sees DD01.

I have two formula i use to pull out the number from text in a cell (J2), the problem i am having is that it will only pull out numbers up to 99,999 and i now have numbers over a million in some case that i need to report on.
I have two way I have been doing this see below, how can i change them so they will pull the number over a million?
I am sure it easy but i have tried all sort and i can not get it to work...
=LOOKUP(100000,--MID(J2,MIN(FIND({0,1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9},J2&"0123456789")),ROW(INDIRECT("1:10"))))
OR
=LOOKUP(99^99,--("0"&MID(J2,MIN(SEARCH({0,1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9},J2&"0123456789")),ROW($1:$10000))))

I'm trying to pull a specific 10 digit number from a text string. The ID # is always 10 digits however sometimes there are dates in the data that need to be excluded as well as other numbers such as "I-9". The 10 digit number will always start with 1 or 8. Is there a macro or Formula to extract this data? Please find the example dataset below.
Edit: I should specify I want the "100118416" number from the first cell example or the "800011320" number from the 10th example.

I'm having a 6000+ records, (contacts DB) exported in Excel 2003 format from MS Outlook.
Except the "First" and "LastName", all other contact elements are in the field "Notes" (which is the BZ column according to the exported outlook layout) multiplied by 6469 (records in total)
Useful information are included !!!
I'll give an example of a record...
Column: BZ, Row: 543 says --> "2110000000-6989000000, 1TOK_TER:17-11-010(25 DAYS LESS),
KATERINA 25 (MANTAS KALNNNNN_HYPERTENSION)1000-150, W:95_105, , HR THE 16wks_US NEFRON OK,
NT OK_B EPIP OK(GOLF BALL)_KAMPILI ORIAKI(DIAITA)_DOPPLER OK, O+,TEST OK(TOX_), , , , , , "
Now, I want every time to take the part of the text says "TER:something..." (part of which is date, but not every time with the known format dd-mm-yyyy, as you see here is yyy, followed by something else, with parenthesis here and maybe more data) and copy it in a new cell..., e.g:CO Column, same Row...
Above and every field which by the way is formatted as General (and it is text mainly) are made by merging older excel fields where data laid here and there, that's why you see the commas...with the method of a module with the following code:
Function MyMerge(Rng As Range)
For Each Cell In Rng
Temp = Temp & Cell.Value & ", "
Next Cell
Temp = Mid(Temp, 1, Len(Temp) - 2)
MyMerge = Temp
End Function
Note1:Records with the above string (TER:dd-mm-yyy) are 771 from 6469.
Note2: As an alternative solution I can see an extraction of the TER:dd-mm-yyy string and the copy in a new place, like the:CO Column, same Row...

As the title says I was wanting to convert a date into an alphanumeric number.
After searching around for a long time the closest thread I could find was this one : [URL] ....
I would like to enter the date by dd/mm/yyyy and have it come out to an alphanumeric number.
The alphanumeric number for example would be C21501
Where "C" is the year starting from 2013. So in this case C would be 2015
Next two digits would be the week of that year. So 21 would be in the month of May
The following number would be the day of that week starting from Monday. So in this case 5 would be Friday.
The last two numbers would be the consecutive number for that day. For example two orders could be placed that same day so the first would be C21501 and the next would be C21502.

I would like to parse a part number.
ab24s-12-g4a
if there is a "-#-" in the string, that is the value I want. If the "-#-" is not present, I would like to take the first number. Currently, as written in your first example, I am getting the first number - excellent and thank you!
In the sku, the first digit reprepresents capacity. If a second number is present after the capacity portion of the sku (i.e. "-#-"), that means that they want to order it filled with less than capacity. For instance, a carton of eggs and they want 6 eggs instead of the max capacity of 12. (i.e. egg12-6-z2z). Numbers after the second octet (i.e. z2z) do not matter.
It would be a number only in the second octet. If there are characters with it, the equation should disregard it.
Here are the scenarios, and what the formula should accomplish
1) egg12 --> currently returns 12
2) egg12-6 --> would return 6
3) egg12-6-g2c --> would return 6
4) egg12-g2c --> would return 12

Have many rows of alphanumeric strings. 2-4 letters followed by a variety of numbers, some spaces, and some additional letters. What I need is to return the first number after the initial 2-4 letters, everything after that first digit is junk. Thus, I would like a formula that takes me from:
AB23400 12 -> 2
CET25800 1 -> 2
NYT67300 H01 -> 6
HSRF49900 1 -> 4

I need to automatically populate a column with an alphanumeric MFR0001 to MFR9999 and am currently using the formula below to add 1 to the start point (A1)...
A1=MFR0001
Formula in A2 =LEFT(C1,3)&(RIGHT(C1,4)+1)
This works perfectly if I start at MFR1000, but breaks and drops the 000 if I use it on the number I need to start with (MFR0001).

The list at the left is the data (A1:F1900) in the middle the table (is like a parking lot - place number), and in the right is the swap results, I mean if I put the table in front of the list, and want to know what place number 2 was before, I can see was in the position 7 in the table, next #6 was in 8 and so on, see the example:
Code:
2
6
25
31
37
50
1
2
3
4
5
6
[Code]...
when I go to swap the second line I mean 2-6-11-18-etc. the table has to move one cell down like this.
Code:
2
6
25
31
37
50
[Code]...
and for the next number, the same thing, the tabe go down one place and according from the new position swap the numbers.
The position talbe is on H:M from 1 to 500, I don't write H1:M500 because remember this table go down one row every time, and the results in O:T; well at least I don't find another way to explain.

I'm working on an attendance spreadsheet that shows the employee's absence using the format "X####", where X can be one of the following three values: S(for sick time), P(for personal time), and V(for vacation); "####" is the number of hours absent (can be from 0.25 to 8.0,measured in 15-minute increments, # can be either a digit from 0 to 9 or a decimal point, and there can be from 1 to 4 characters, but must be >0(I'm not worried about data validation yet).Examples are P8.0, V.5 (V0.5), S2.75,etc.
The spreadsheet is laid out such that each row represents an employee, and each column is a workday. After the employee's information are three columns labeled P,V, S. I'm trying to generate a formula that when applied to an employee's row, will display a running total of the absent hours based upon personal, vacation, or sick time taken. We'll call the range "CAL"(Short for calender)
To strip out the numeric characters on the right, I use the formula RIGHT(CAL, (LEN(CAL)-1)). To Determine which column the data should be summed in, I use the formula LEFT(CAL,1). Blank Cells are permitted, in fact most of the row will be blank. Now that I've figured out how to strip out the alpha from the numeric, how can I get the totals? I apologize for writing "War and Peace," but I wanted to be as concise as possible-

I need to extract just the text from cells which contain both letters and numbers. There can be one or two letters, followed by one, two or three numbers. (For info, these are chemical elements and their masses). So for instance,a cell could contain anything from the following B9, B11, S32, Ca44, Mo100, I129, Th226, U238 etc etc. I know I've seen this done before, but I can't find it now. It also has to be formula based, not using VBA.
