Separate String Of Text Containing Letters And Numbers
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:
10.00 OVERDRAFT PROTECTION TRANSFER FEE
10.00
56.00 ELECTRONIC/ACH DEBIT
56.00
199.00 ELECTRONIC/ACH DEBIT
199.00
2,017.64 ELECTRONIC/ACH DEBIT
2,017.64
The data to the left is the data I am working with and the I want the results to read similar to the results on the right.
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
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.
Is there a way to separate text from numbers, (other than text to columns) My data is all different lengths, nothing consistent,plus I want to put the separated data in another column.
I have a list of over 15,000 alphanumeric figures (column A) that I need to parse out as follows (columns B-E) separating letters from numbers in sequence:
I've found several posts but none seem to peform this varying function:
EX12345678....Result in Col B: "EX" and Result in Col C: "12345678" RTZZ4567.......Result in Col B: "RTZZ" and Result in Col C: "4567"
The problem with the formulas I've got specifically define - pulling let's say LEFT, 2 characters.....when, I may need it to pull 2 or 3 or 4. I found something that's smart enough to look for ONLY ALPHA and strip those out and place them into one column. =LEFT(A1,MIN( FIND({0,1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9},A1&"0123456789"))-1)
* I need something that's smart enough to look for ONLY NUMERIC. no matter how long the string is...and place those in Column C (like I mention in the example at the top).
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.
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)?
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.
I have got to extract a series of mixed letters & numbers from a cell. The format of the data i need to extract is always [Letter][Letter][Number][Letter][Letter]][Letter][Number][Number]. The problem I've got is the notes field is not in a standard format as it can be anywhere in the cell.
The table below shows the notes cell & the Data I require.
Notes Required Data Fault number AB1ABC12 is complete AB1ABC12 BC2ABC12 status is unknown BC2ABC12 pending job ws1abc12 ws1abc12
I have text strings consisting of about 500 letters consisting of A, C, G and T. I need to switch A-->T, C-->G, G-->C and T-->A across the whole string. I've tried searching for methods and several techniques without success.
I'm trying to separate text from numbers into two separate cells...
Essentially, I would like the users to copy and paste data into Column A, as seen below. Then, hopefully by formula separate the text characters into Column B and the numbers into Column C.
Input: Output 1: Output 2:
Col A Col B Col C Wells 123 Wells 123 Wells 1234 Wells 1234 Wells Fargo 123 Wells Fargo 123 Wells Fargo 1234 Wells Fargo 1234 Wells Fargo Inc 123 Wells Fargo Inc 123 Wells Fargo Inc 1234 Wells Fargo Inc 1234
Ideally, I would like to do this with a formula...
Looking to extract a numeric value with two letters attached to it from text strings. The text strings vary. Below are the examples I'm looking to extract .51OZ from the first cell, 12CT from the second, and 30CT from the third.
BEANO AD A-G LIQ RS 0.51OZBEANO AD A-G TAB-CHW RS 12CTBEANO AD A-G TAB-CHW RS 30CT
I have a script to import all the data in a text file into an excel sheet. However, the data that is imported are in the first column of every row.
for e.g. 123454566788329929201012827192019128278111111111abc213123123123123
there is no comma nor / to separate the string of alphanumerics is there any vba script that i can incorporate to separate the first 3 digit in the first column then 5 digit in the second column then 7 digit in the 3rd columns and etc.
I have one column that has forename and surname information and I need to separate the surname into a separate column next to the forename.
Is there a formula for this?
I've tried the formula where you can request to move so many characters to the right, but it's difficult with all of the surnames being a different number of characters.
I need to get the string GE#### before each " class="button"> and copy it on a cell on the right. There are other links of this format [URL] ..... in the cell, but I am interested only the ones that have " class="button"> after it.
The length of the ID after GE can be 2, 3, 4 or 6 characters long. But I am ok with getting GE + 6 characters following it as that means I would get something like GE12" cl and I will delete the extra character by doing a find/replace.
I have a large sheet of data I'm trying to sort through. Each row of data has a column that contains a long string description. Each of these strings contains a three letter codes in all caps that I want to be able to pull out. I have a seperate sheet that has all of the possible three letter codes in one column. Is there a formula that can compare each string of text to this list of three letter codes and if it find a match put that code in a column on the original sheet?
Doc Number String Code
33333 This is an example string of text. An example three letter code would be HCB. The location of the code within the string varies. HCB
33332 This is an example string of text. An example three letter code would be CDQ. The location of the code within the string varies. CDQ
33331 This is an example string of text. An example three letter code would be RCA. The location of the code within the string varies. RCA
The 'Text to Column' function does not work because there is no fixed width and no deliminater. To add in a deliminater, like a "", is an option but there are thousands of cells to do this to.
As you can see, using LEFT, RIGHT and MID functions become tricky since the deliminater would be a "space" but there are often several "spaces" in the string of characters.
Is there a way to SEARCH or FIND the first number and let that be the deliminater?
I have text in column F that have numbers at the begining of the text. Unfortunately not all the number are of the same lenght. what is the way I can separate them from the text.
example:
87VADTREVINO GROUP79403HEITKAMP SWIFT7O554HEITKAMP SWIFT
I know I can use text to columns to do this. I have horse results listed in column A as follows 3.5L (i.e. 3.5 lengths), 4L and so on. Every number ends with an L. I want a formula in column O that just gives me the number as below:
I want to separate the text and numbers into two different cells. Basically, I have the entire drawing details in one cell and I need to split it up, e.g. I have:
