Dividing Letters And Numbers String

Jan 25, 2009

A given string of some letters (from three to five, six) is followed by a single number (1-4). Then it ends, or is followed by another such combination, up to a maximum of, let's say, four.

Example:
xxxx1
yyy3yyyy1
xyzxx1yxz4xzx1
xxx2xxx2xxx2xxx2

What I would like to do is to divide a given chain of characters into the smallest chains which contain only letters and one number. To the examples given above, I'd like to receive the following sets:

xxxx1
yyy3 and yyyy1
xyzxx1 and yxz4 and xzx1
... and so on

Is it somehow possible to do it with simple functions? Or is VB necessary (which sadly I don't know)?

Remove Numbers - Leave Letters In A String?

Mar 18, 2014

I would like to take the below strings and remove any numbers and just leave letters. Or extract the payee from the string. If at all possible, I'd prefer this in a formula.

Card Purchase WAL Wal-Mart Sup 320004 0532 WAL-SAMS CENTRAL LA
Card Purchase WAL-MART #0532 053201 308 N AIRLINE HWY CENTRAL LA
Card Purchase LEBLANC'S FOOD S 874301 209 S. AIRLINE HWY CENTRAL LA[code]....

Basically, (the first line above) I'd like to remove the words "Card Purchase" and any numbers...or preferably just leave "Wal-Mart Sup" instead of the full string. I'd like the product of the first line to match the product of the 2nd line.

Apr 22, 2014

I am in need of a formula that will separate a string of text. Specifically, I want to pull out the number values (including cents) from the rest of the text. This is how the text reads:

56.00

199.00 ELECTRONIC/ACH DEBIT
199.00

Wrong Letters Or Numbers In A Text String

Dec 1, 2006

So for a program I am writing, the user inputs a text string of 200+ alphabetic letters. Only 20 of the 26 alphabet can be in this input (excluding BJOUXZ). What I need to have a macro or function do is check to make sure none of these 6 alphabet letters are present in the string, and also check to make sure no numbers are present either.

Also, I would love for the input text to be converted to Uppercase for all letter as it does this check.

Separate Letters And Numbers In A String Into Separate Columns

Nov 20, 2012

I receive an extraction from AutoCAD that lists the electrical devices in a drawing. I don't have any problems extracting the letters. I have a problem extracting the device number and the device number extension.

The device label extraction is similar to this:
DCM1005-1
DCM1005-10
DCM1005A
MTR1005-1
MTR1005-10
MTR1005A

I want to create 3 columns from the device label: (I separated the column with commas)
A1, B1, C1, D1
DCM1005-1, DCM, 1005, 1
DCM1005-10, DCM, 1005, 10
DCM1005A, DCM, 1005, A
MTR1005-1, MTR, 1005, 1
MTR1005-10, MTR, 1005, 10
MTR1005A, MTR, 1005, A

Column Letters- VBA Command To Get The Letters

Nov 17, 2009

Is there a VBA command to get the letters, instead of the numbers, of the column of a selected cell?

I have to letter a list whihc means setting up a loop using character codes.

I may have to go into double letters so I am working on how I would set up the loop for if and when it gets past 90 and starts on double letters. so far the highest is the letter "U"

of course the easiest would be to pick up a column value as a letter

NT values do not get a number

A_____ _____NT###
B_____1_______C####
C_____2_______RMK###
D____ _______NT####

i am guessing the loop might involve some arithmetic test between the count and the character set 65-90. or maybe a mod thing.

Remove Letters And Zeros From String

Oct 20, 2011

I have a list of about 1,400 numbers ranging in different lengths. What I'm trying to accomplish with a formula is to remove the single letter at the end of each number (not all numbers have them) and in addition to removing all zeros at the beginning of the number (again not all numbers have them).

Here is an example...say I have the following 5 numbers:

8014554
45678456
87451245
0008014554b
0008014554c

And what I need my formula to do provide is the following results instead:

8014554
45678456
87451245
8014554
8014554

So far I have started with the following =LEFT(A1,LEN(A1)-1), but that will always remove the last character (number and letter).

String Extraction Where Two Letters Exist

Nov 13, 2007

I have a list of 3000 strings, all in seperate cells, in a column.

Within each string, are ( say 13 ) letters ( for convience) "A" through to "M" which are of interest to me

The 'letters' of interest occur either once or twice , or none within the individual strings. When a 'letter' of interest occurs within a string , putting a marker in a column on the same row is sufficient.

Using vba, I have extracted the cases where 2 'letters' exist within the strings, by using 3 nested FOR NEXT loops, with an IF test in the middle of

If (InStr(Cells(i, 2).Value, IndexLetter#1) > 0) and (InStr(Cells(i, 2).Value, IndexLetter#2) > 0)Then
and then put my marker in cells(i,3)

where : IndexLetter#1 is set in the outermost of the FOR NEXT loops as one of the 'letters' of interest, and similarly IndexLetter#2 is set on the next inner of the FOR NEXT loop . The inner most FOR NEXT loop ( i ) is the list of 3000 strings

I want to put a marker next to the string , when only ONE of the 'letters' is present in the string AND NONE OF THE OTHERS

Sum Cells Containing Numbers And Letters

Jul 8, 2014

=SUMPRODUCT((0&SUBSTITUTE(SUBSTITUTE(SUBSTITUTE(SUBSTITUTE(B5:S5,"T",""),"TP",""),"TPE",""),"P",""))+0) as my base.

Right now the formula will work with T, TP, and P; however as soon as I type TPE I get #value.

Either way you get the point of what I am trying to do, however my cells can contain any one of the following combinations:

T,TP,TPE
P,PE,
E

Formula Used With Numbers And Letters

Jan 23, 2014

I am a school teacher trying to adjust my tracking sheet to calculate pupils levels. I am looking for 2 potential formulas that will do the following.

1 - In cell AE I would like to generate a formula that will take the data entered in cells J:5, L:5, N:5, P:5, R:5, T:5, V:5, X:5, Z:5, AB:5 and AD:5 and give an average level.

2 - In cell AH is it possible to generate a formula that will calculate how many levels of progress the pupils are making - In other words I need Cell I to be calculated against cell J to see how much progress the pupils are making - for example if in cell I:5, a pupil is was given a 3a, and then in cell J:5 is given a 4b, they will have made 2 sub levels of progress. As well as this, can that progress then be averaged out across cells I:5, K:5, L:5, M:5, O:5, Q:5, S:5, U:5, W:5, Y:5, AA:5 and AC:5 to give an overall number of of levels of progress? An then..... can I colour co-ordinate the cell so that if the pupils are making 3 or more sub levels of progress it turns green, 2 sub levels orange and 1 sub level red?

Levels work like this

3c
3b
3a
4c
4b
4a
5c
5b
5a and so on

I tried =NOT(ISNUMBER(H6)) for Data Validation, but that didn't work.
