VBA - Extract Value From A String

May 16, 2013

I have a string that follows this format: SAMSUNG CT797F-1

From this string I need to extract 797F only. Further complicating the problem is that its not always SAMSUNG it could be ABB CT797F-1 or KOMSATISU CT797F-1

I have implemented a function that can extract all the numbers, but can't think of how to extract 797F from the various different strings.

Extract String Between Characters After Specific String

Dec 22, 2013

I have the following type of info in A1,A2,A3...

Code:
nameGaryage40cityPittsburgheight190
age30height150
ameLindacityMichigan
citySan Jose
ameHarryheight180age50

My goal is to get as close as possible to this,so it will be easier to sort and manage

Code:
nameGaryage40cityPittsburgheight190
nameLindaage30cityMichiganheight150
nameHarryage50citySan Joseheight180

I can't use the "" sign as delimiter to separate them into different columns because the age,city,name and height fields are in random positions on different cells.The good thing is person's name will always come after "name" string, age is alwals followed by "age" string, so it cannot be like nameheight40Michigan180

I think the following would be the easiest method(not for me tho).If on B1 I had a formula that said "find the string "name" and write anything after it until you reach the next "" character".On C1 field I could have a formula "find the string "age" and write anything after it until you reach the next "" character.On D1 I would have the same for "height" string,then on E1 for city string.

My question is somewhat similar to this one
Extract A String Between Two Characters

Formula which outputs the data between 3rd and 4th instances of the "_" character.Can we substitute "3rd and 4th" with a specific strings like "age" or "height" ?

Code:
=TRIM(LEFT(SUBSTITUTE(MID(A1,FIND("|",SUBSTITUTE(A1,"_","|",3))+1,LEN(A1)),"_",REPT(" ",LEN(A1))),LEN(A1)))

Extract Data From A String

Sep 7, 2009

I have a string (as below - Call them A1:A4) which I would like to seperate into 4 columns (Call them B1:E4).

I have successfully seperated the first part using MID (It's always 5 digits) but the second part has a varing length which then impacts on the third and fourth parts of the string.... Any ideas?

87261 WIMBLEDON 10:08 10:10
87169 NEWMALDEN PASS 10:13
87171 SURBITON PASS 10:15
87177 HMPTNCTJN PASS 10:16

To add to this I am using the POCKET PC version of Excel which does not have all functions so at the moment I am limited to which functions I can use (Can you add functions to the PPC?).

Extract Text From String

Dec 10, 2007

I need to be able extract a string from within a longer string. The information I want will always start 5 chracters in and be bordered by an underscore either side, but could be of any length. For example in the following string, I would want to extract WF602.

DDR_WF602_____02_00_001_FLANGE_WR34_4_HOLE_PLAIN_CLEARANCE

I've been looking at the RegExp functions but can envisage problems with this as later parts of the string (WR34) have the same form as the part I need.

I can get rid of the first 4 characters using

Extract Particular Data From A String

Jun 29, 2012

I have a file which contains one field showing all of the changes to our data. It shows the Field Name followed by a colon: then the Before value followed by a line | then the After value. If multiple fields changed then they are separated by a semicolon;.

I am interest in extracting the Before and After values for changes to the MP.COST field only. Here are examples of the data:

A1 = "MP.COST :4.00|3.50;MP.FLAG :Y|N;"
A2 = "MP.COST :4.25|4.12500;"
A3 = "MP.CODE :125064|200009;MP.COST :4.79|4.66000;"

For A1 I want to pull back 4.00 and 3.50
For A2 I want to pull back 4.25 and 4.12500
For A3 I want to pull back 4.79 and 4.66000

These are all of the Before and After values associated to MP.COST.

Kow I can accomplish this either through an excel formula or piece of code?

Extract 2nd Number From A String

Feb 15, 2013

I wanted to return the second number in a string such as this:"0 of 0 jobs ... View all jobs"

The following worked perfectly:=MID(U3,FIND("f", U3)+1,LEN(U3)-FIND("f", U3)-23)

Until this line came up:"1 of 1 job ... View all jobs"

Obviously the "jobs" changed to "job" because of there being only 1, so the "-23" no longer worked. I need this to get the second number out of the string and it can change because the data is being refreshed from a website so it could easily change from one line to another.

Extract Address From String?

Mar 28, 2013

I have the following string of text and need to find a way to extract the address and city (separated)

Paste!A2 = 000-0000-0000 12-Mar-13 0.00 12-Mar-13 100.00- J Doe 1111 Excel Rd Vancouver BC 000.00 W
Paste!A3 = 000-0000-0000 12-Mar-13 0.00 12-Mar-13 100.00- J Doe 111-2222 Random Ave Calgary AB 000.00 W

The spaces separating the name address and City do change so i have not been successful using a simple Mid/right/left Find formula. Also the street addresses can include a unit # as shown in the text string above. I am honestly at a loss

End results would of course be:

G2 = 1111 Excel Rd
G3 = 111-2222 Random Ave
H2 = Vancouver BC
H3 = Calgary AB

Extract The Last Number From A String?

Jun 20, 2014

It's for listing items to eBay. Ink Toners to be precise, the macro I have creates everything I need for a listing with a few msg prompts and importing data from another sheet. Saves me hours of work. Each cartridge has a Black, Cyan, Magenta, Yellow. The macro works fine for cartridge sets that go under one name. E.g: Brother TN325 Black, TN325 Cyan, TN325 Yellow... etc.

I've run into an issue with some cartridges which have different names: HP C530a Black, C531a Cyan, C532a Yellow...

I set the macro up to deal with different number, by removing the last character of the "tonername" string "C530", then replacing it with "C531".. etc.

What I haven't factored in is the ones with an A on the end. I need a way to tell it to ignore the a if there is one.

To make it clear, I will be inputting the text: C530a From this, I need to create 3 more strings: C531a, c532a and C533a

Here's the snippet of code I'm using to achieve what I'm already doing.

Code:
Selection.Replace What:=A, Replacement:=Left(y, Len(y) - 1) & "1"
Selection.Replace What:=b, Replacement:=Left(y, Len(y) - 1) & "2"
Selection.Replace What:=c, Replacement:=Left(y, Len(y) - 1) & "3"

[Code]....

Extract Alphanumerics From String

Jul 26, 2007

I have many strings of arbitrarily length. Each string always
has one number (0-9) component and one alpha-character (A-Z) component.

The order of the components in the string is entirely random.

Sometimes numbers come first and sometimes letters/characters.

Also, the length of each separate component is also varies and
there is no fixed rule to how long it will be each time.

Examples are:

String: RGH45 Alpha: RGH Num: 45
String: 4589THF Alpha:THF Num: 4589
String: FGGFFF56464645464 Alpha:FGGFFF Num: 56464645464
String: sdgdfgdfg874645 Alpha:sdgdfgdfg Num: 874645
String: 54sfsdfdsf Alpha:sfsdfdsf Num: 54
String: s54654646 Alpha:s Num: 54654646

etc..

I want to have two strings. One called Alpha and One called Num
I want to have the alpha-character component to be extracted from the string
and set to Alpha and the numerical component to be extracted & set to Num.

How/what is the Excel Macro VB code to accomplish this from within the macro?

Extract Number From Text String?

Apr 28, 2014

Below is a sample of data I need to extract the 8 digit number:

WO_32092_56228491_575482-113476-WP55
WO_32092_56228491_115130-WP55

WO_17368_50885431-A-ADDMISSINGPOLE
WO_11021_52350485brock3377
In a spreadsheet, I had set up three columns where:

A: removed first three characters. WO_32092_56228491_115130-WP55 to 32092_56228491_115130-WP55
B: removed up to the _ . 32092_56228491_115130-WP55 to 56228491_115130-WP55
C: captured the first 8 characters left. 56228491_115130-WP55 to 56228491

I am pulling the data into Excel via an ODBC where there is thousands of rows of data. The three column process puts a tremendous strain on the processor.

Is there a formula that will extract the 8 character number without a three step process?
