Return Number Before Alpha Character
Feb 12, 2008
I have an Excel file that quiries Google for driving distance (someone helped me with this.) It returns the correct miles but has some 'extra' characters. Example:
31.1&nb or 886&nbs
So the answer always has &nbs after the mileage. I tried the following function which works when there is a decimal but fails when there is not. =REPLACE(MID(E2,1,SEARCH("&",E2,1)-1),SEARCH(".",E2,1),1,","). Can this be done with a function or must it be VB script? Which is fine if it is.

I'm trying to have the macro limit the cell entry to 5 characters beginning with a "P" and the remaining 4 character being numeric. The problem I'm having is that it's not recognizing the requirement for the beginning "P" but only identifies if the length is less than 5 characters. Any idea how I can resolve this?
For PN2 = 43 To 72
If Not IsEmpty(Cells(PN2, 1)) And Left(Cells(PN2, 1), 1) "P" And Len (Cells(PN2, 1)) 5 Then
MsgBox ("The employee number must be 5 characters long begining with P (e.g. P0001), please change accordingly!")
Range(Cells(PN2, 1), Cells(PN2 + 2, 1)).ClearContents
Cells(PN2, 1).Select
End If
Next

I have a Macro that finds in Column F duplicates and adds an Alpha Character (A-Z) to the last right position in the filed.(1-12 Alpha/Numeric) .
It's set to check all rows until a specific number of rows are reached. The current code does this until intCount and intRow equals 1500. The number of rows vary in each file.

I have a log that I need to number starting in cell A1, as follows:
A-0001
A-0002
A-0003
etc.
I've put this formula in A2 to try an increment it by 1, but it just replicates the string in A1:
=LEFT(A1,3)&MID(A1,2,5)+1&RIGHT(A1,2)
with the proper syntax?...

How can you tell what a column number as referenced by the column alpha identifiers.
Ex: Column AN would equal what column no?

I have a column that's supposed to be an address, but somehow got the
company name mixed in at the beginning:
123 Main Street
One Park Place
Acme Company, Inc. 456 Easy Street
Alpha-Omega Dry Cleaning Four-Twenty Highway One
I can use the formula
=RIGHT(A1,(LEN(A1)-((MIN(SEARCH({0,1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9},A1&"0123456789")-1)))))
for stripping the text before an actual number
Acme Company, Inc. 456 Easy Street
to
456 Easy Street
BUT - I'm not sure how to strip before a text representation of a
number (one, two, three, etc)
Alpha-Omega Dry Cleaning Four-Twenty Highway One
to
Four-Twenty Highway One

My spreadsheet contains a tasklist. It is generally sorted by priority (number); each row also contains a task ID ("T0100"). When I add a new task I need to know the last used task ID so I can assign the next one.
I've tried various built in functions but each expects numbers.
How can I insert in a cell (or display in a msgbox) the maximum text value?
For example, Given the data below I'd like to have show "T0888".
PRI TASKID
0 T0123
0 T0199
0 T0101
1 T0888
1 T0105

Have a spreadsheet that contains a column of 3 digit numbers as well as 3 digit numbers with 2 trailing alpha characters.
Example:
376
377
421
376AB
376XY
377NC
421GQ
421EF
Need to sort by this column, but, with the parameter of sorting first by the numeric only, and then by numeric with alphas. So, the above list would look like this sorted properly:
376
376AB
376XY
377
377NC
421
421EF
421GQ

I received a request from a coworker regarding custom formatting some numbers in his spreadsheet. Those numbers are serial numbers of 20 characters long. Sometimes in my files I use this custom number formatting ###0 and its enough for the data I handle. But when I tried to use it in his spreadsheet, the following shows:
8456891070060510000
The cell must look like this: 08456891070060510302
The reason to have it like this is due to a Delivery Program requirement to deliver Set-top Units for repair. The Delivery Program do not recognize other format than the above. My coworker takes the data from a spreadsheet, and the spreadsheet needs a custom number format to display the correct number.
find a custom number format to be able to display as my coworker need it??

I'm looking for a VBA Macro that will do the following:
1. Count number of cells in a given row that contain special character "*"
2. If there is an asterisk in a given row, return the column header(s) contained in row 1 of the spreadsheet that correspond to each instance of cell(s) that contains the "*".
Is there a way to do this? I've attached an example of what I'm talking about, (Column A shows the desired result.)

I'm trying to determine if the last character of a cell is a number or not a number. So in a cell I may have a string like:
ZXC123
or
ZXC123A
If the last character is not a number I want the letter returned. So I thought I could use a formula like: =IF(NOT(ISNUMBER(RIGHT(D88,1))), RIGHT(D88,1),""). However for the string ZXC123 it still returns '3' so anyone have any ideas how I can do this?

I have a number of entries in column A.
The format is:
A1 B680192 Middle School
A2 Office Building Project
and so on;
I want to test if char.s 2 through 7 are numbers.
I can seperate one char at a time and use CODE function to check if the result is between 48 and 57.
I know how to split all six char.s at a time e.g. 680192, but I don't know how to test to see if it is a number?
ISNUMBER function doesn't work.
If I can do it with excel function, it would be better. If VBA has to be used, so be it.

I have a spreadsheet which I automatically generate using VBA. One of the columns lists account numbers. After the macro is complete, the account numbers are non-numeric and left justified. However if I select one of the account numbers by clicking on its cell, and then edit the account number in the formula window, it changes the cells property to numeric and right-justifies the cell.

Cell B23:687968307=ISTEXT(MID(RIGHT(B23,3),1,1))TRUE
Cell B24:C8796B07=ISTEXT(MID(RIGHT(B24,3),1,1))TRUE
I'm trying to test whether the third last character (3 and B) is a text or not.
As you can see, the reslts are both TRUE, but I'm expecting to see that the first one should be FALSE, as '3' is a number right?
Likewise, if I replace the formula with ISNUMBER instead of ISTEXT, the results are both FALSE, but shouldn't the first one be TRUE, again, because the '3' is a number?
Have I missed something in the formula, or is there a better way of expressing this formula?

I have a cell range that is passed as a String to a function, and within that function I need to extract only the Column letter. If it was just 1 letter it would be simple, but it may be 2, so does anybody know of a way of testing to see if the second character is a letter or a number?

They have a list of data numbers which are yy/#####/@@@@@ (2digit year/casenumber/alphanumeric code). Where some people have typed in the code wrong (6 or more digits in case number) we want to know is there a way of doing this.
Ideally I want something that says "If 9th character is a slash then yes, if not no" or "if 9th character is a number then yes, if not, no".
Example of data is (where we want third option highlighted as erroneous (6 not 5 numbers in middle)
09/56487/KFJT
09/42105/PLOUR3
09/002145/PLIFD
