i have data in column A and i want extract to column B only the date from this data. Date start on diferent position.
ex:
col. A
1 text text 10.10.1998 text
2 text10.12.2001
3 10.12.2004
4 10.12.2005 text text
i want this result
col. B
1 10.10.1998
2 10.12.2001
3 10.12.2004
4 10.12.2005
i try solution from other thread, but it doesnt works for me.
I have this formula that extracts numbers from alphanumeric strings.
{=1*MID(A1,MATCH(TRUE,ISNUMBER(1*MID(A1,ROW($1:$100),1)),0),COUNT(1*MID(A1,ROW($1:$100),1)))}
However this extracts only the 1st instance of the numbers
In a string like 123avfbsdf4556.. it'll extract only 123.
My questions are the following:
1. Is there a way that i could get the result as 1234556
2. A way which refers to a cell where I put in a number and it'll extract those many number instances. In the above example, if I put the number as 1, it'll extract 123. If I put the number as 2, it'll extract 4556 and so on.
I guess this would require some modifications to the Match function so that it does not look at only the 1st instance.
In column E of row 1 I have one column with a long line of text containing information in that should be separated into cells for the following fields:
Year, make, model, drive, part, name, phone, text, email, location, notes, stream, date/time, disclaimer
Here is an example of the text in column E:
Year: 2001 Make: Nasa Model: big spaceship Drive:
Automatic 2 Wheel Drive Spaceship:
4 12.7 Liter ----------------------------- Part: Hood -----------------------------
[Code] .........
The data in each field can be different lengths, and I would like to take pieces of text out of Column E, and put it in other columns in the row.
Each field has its own column, and I would like to copy the data for that field from the column containing all data to its respective column.
=MID(E1,SEARCH("Year:",E1)+5,SEARCH("Make:",E1)-SEARCH("object",E1)+5)
The formula above was inspired by an "extract text between two strings" post, but will not work.
I tried to make a formula that would extract everything between the strings "Notes:" and "Team Stream:" or for example, so I could get the result "Thank you for using our excel forum! thesmartestpeopleever.com" or "Year" and "Make" so I could get the result "2001" if using the example above. I was not able to do it.
I have attached a sample photo and an excel file.
How do I separate/extract each columns data to the appropriate column?

I have a column of data in the following format:
Hardware (somethingsmall) otherinfo
Hardware ( somethingdisplaced)
Blackbox item (somethingelse) other info
Service(aservice)
etc
I need to extract the data within the brackets allowing for additional spaces for use in a second query which will search for each individual line item in turn.
For some reason the query does not like searching for the raw data in it's current format so I'm trying to extract the key information for searching instead.
I can do it in excel by:
(Assuming data is in cell V36)
'in colum x
=FIND("(",V36)
'in column y
=FIND(")",V36)
'in column z
=MID(V36,X36+1,Y36-(X36+2))
in column aa
=IF(LEFT(Z36,1)=" ", MID(Z36,2,20),Z36)
I have tried doing this cleverly in VBA and failed and then ended up trying to enter this code in the cells within the VBA code and do it that way but I'm having difficulty in doing this also.
Need to write a Macro to only extract numbers from text, characters and numbers fields. I would like the numbers to be extracted in column B, C & D. I am only interested in numbers that begins with 200's, 800's and 4500's. see the attached file.
View 3 Replies View RelatedI have the following issue. I have a list of strings. Each string contains certain characters that are exactly the same for all strings, some characters are different making the string longer (in some cases). What I need to do is extract some combination of characters from each string. The strings look like this:
AB & CDE & FG & I mmmm yyyy.HIJK
AB & CDE & FG & II mmmm yyyy.HIJK
The part "AB & CDE & FG & " (incl. spaces) is the same for each string. The next part contains a roman count from I to VII, causing the length of each string to vary. The "mmmm" part contains the current month spelled in full e.g. December. This part differs as well, for each string. The "yyyy" part contains the year in four digits, e.g. 2007. The part after the dot is the same for each string again.
What I need to do:
- is to extract the month and assign it to a new string
- extract the year and assign it to a new string
- extract the roman number, translate it to a normal number (II -> 2) and assign to a string (or integer).
In cell A1 i have a drop-down list.
In this list are the following:
London [S] (14/02/2013)
Rome [W] (23/10/2013)
Tokyo [W] (17/01/2014)
Berlin [A] (24/02/2014)
...and so on...
In cell B1 I would like to extract the currently selected city name and the [?] (e.g. "London [S]")
In cell C1 i would like to extract the currently selected date (e.g. (14/02/2013)
I've had a question which i can't solved cause of poor knowledge. Example of my issue: cel A1 are filled with a lotnumber like 107610618. as 107=year 2007 61=code of product 06=month 18=runnumber. in cel B1 i would like to have a few characters of that lotnumber visible. all that i want to show in cel B1 = month & year example 0607. Then when this is done in cel C1 i would like to convert this characters into june-07.

I get one report.xls workbook by FTP. This book contain date and time in cell A14 in sheet1. e.g. 30-04-2006 19:38:00
I need to have macro to extract only time and paste it to cell A56 in same sheet. How can I do that. The date format is 30-04-2006 19:38:00 and it may be 05/05/2006 7:15 am. Or it could be any type of date format. Please send me how can I work with different date and time format to extract the only time and paste to other cell.
An original text string entry appearing in an Excel cell would be:
"N7C Neuroprotective J5Z Antiviral, other M2Z Antiarthritic, other J5A Antiviral, anti-HIV"
I need to extract N7C, J5Z, M2Z and J5A from this string and list these alphanumeric values in separate cells adjacent to the original text string. The challenge is that these alphanumeric references may appear in different positions within the original string with no fixed value e.g. a "," separating them. The alphanumeric references may also be 3 or 4 characters in length and there may be different numbers of alphanumeric references in the original string.
Another example would be (very different from the first):
"T2Z Recombinant, other K5B Radio-chemoprotective J3Z Antibacterial, other D3A Vulnerary A10C Symptomatic antidiabetic K6Z Anticancer, other R8A Antiasthma B6A Septic shock treatment I1Z Immunostimulant, other S1Z Ophthalmological R8B Antiallergic, non-asthma M1A1 Anti-inflammatory"
You can see that in this further example "A10C" & "M1A1" are 4 character alphanumeric strings wheras the others feature 3 characters.
I am using Excel 2013. Anyway, the first issue is that I need to pull a date and a time period from text. So, for example, if I see something like Sunday Prime Time 7/6/14 8:37PM, I would want to pull ONLY the "7/6/14 8:37PM" out of it. Each text box could potentially be different, so it might not always be in the same format as "Sunday Prime Time 7/6/14 8:37PM" it might only show just the date and/or the time without all the extra text i.e. 7/6/14 8:37PM. Some of the cells will have text, others might only have just the time or even just the date and the time. The only thing that I am worrying about in each cell is extracting just the date and time. If this is too much to ask of excel, I would be ok with extracting ONLY the time - 8:37PM and not the date, but I would much rather be able to get both the time and date.
THEN, onto part two of my question. After I would pull the dates and times, I need to compare them with each other. So, when I have the same date with two separate times on that date, I need to write a formula to show if those times on that date are less than 30 minutes apart. So, if I have 6 times on 7/6/14, I need to know if any of them are less than 30 minutes apart.
I would need to have the formula say something like "Problem" if the times on 7/6/14 would be 5:30PM, 5:48PM, 7:00PM, 8:00PM, 8:15PM, and 9:00Pm for example. I would like to see the word "Problem" since 5:30PM and 5:48Pm is only 18 minutes apart, and "Problem" after 8:15PM since that is only 15 minutes past the 8:00PM which is obviously under 30 minutes. The times that are more than 30 minutes apart such as 7:00PM and 9:00PM for example are more than 30 minutes apart from any of the other times that were extracted.
Am trying to devise a formula that will allow me to extract a date (not stored in date format or recognizable by excel as such: "DEC1/09") and then manipulate it so that excel can recognize it and change it to a "1-Jan-01" form. Problem for me is that functions such as LEFT MID and RIGHT are very specific and sensitive obviously to any additional characters. some of my dates are preceded by "CAN BND 4.25/09"; "CANB BND 4.25/09"; "BC BND 4.25/09" and so on, you get the idea im sure that they are of differing lengths. The dates are equally strewn around as some (these are bond maturities) are 1st of the month while others may hold dates in the middle-end...15th, 30th, 31st etc.
is there a formula that will recognize the dates in the text strings regardless of string length and then a subsequent formula to manipulate the date to proper format?
i.e. "CAN BND 4.25/09 DEC1/09" and "CANB BND 4.25/07 JUN15/07"
Converted into: "01-Dec-09" and "15-Jun-07"
Not that the other parts of the string don't matter, already have macro that can recognize and rip bond coupons.
I am very comfortable with VBA but I usually avoid using formulas if at all possible (unfortunately, I have, formulas are unavoidable (by request).. so formulas it is)
I will try to explain
Column A is a list of dates (ever expanding)
Column B is a list of names ( multiple entries of various names but aligned with various dates)
Column H is a list of names (each possible name which can appear in column B, no duplicates)
Cell I1 = A Date
Cell J1 = A Date
(forming a date range)
Basically what I need to do is:
= COUNTIF(B:B,H2) - but only count it if it is withing the date range (>=I1 & <=J1)
I have tried wrapping it in an IF statement but I can't seem to get it to work.
I need to do a vlookup that takes a string from one cell and then tries to find that string (embedded in a larger string) in the table array
Essentially I imagine this involves the FIND function at some point.
Attached is an incredibly simplified example of what I'm looking for.
I have the following formula:
=CONCATENATE("EXP: ",TEXT(AK2," MM/DD/YY")," ","VP DATE ",TEXT(AL2," MM/DD/YY"))
But if both cells are empty I get : EXP: VP DATE
If only one is empty, i get EXP: 08/26/19 VP DATE or EXP: VP DATE 06/27/14
But I do not want EXP: or VP Date text to show if the content of the AK# or AL# is empty. I figured I will place something like If(ak#="","",
But it give me a "Too many arguments" error.

I have used this formula to extract the date portion, but I can't get this to then format as date. How do I convert this to the julian date, so I can then apply a date format?
=LEFT(G9,SEARCH("/",G9)+7)
(The day portion of this date always has a leading zero).
I have two questions regarding date format and hope you can provide input.
1) say 01/01/2010 displays as Jan-10 and i need a new column to state it as JAN. What function should i use to achieve it?
2) i need to state the difference between first day and last day of the month. What function should i use to achieve it?
I have an excel worksheet with about 10K rows of data in column A.
I have also another list of data, about 200 rows of data, in column G.

in column A
row 1: info@duende.com
row 2: rasko@silvester.com
row 3: supportonline@fabius.com
row 4: myhelp@friday.com
in column G:
row 1: help

I need rows 1, 3 and 4 in column A to be colored.
Is it possible to do the following with a formula in Excel...
I have a list of users with the dates they first logged into a system and the date they last logged in. I'm trying to group them together into segments so I can analyse them using a Pivot table and chart to see how often different groups are using the system, e.g. New customers in December, November, October, etc.
The trouble I am having is trying to convert the different human-readable text strings into a consistent number of weeks from today's date, e.g.
USER FIRST LOGGED IN LAST LOGGED IN
user 1 2 years 20 weeks 54 sec ago
user 2 44 min 7 sec 1 min 37 sec ago
user 3 49 weeks 2 days 17 min 3 sec ago
user 4 5 weeks 2 days 33 min 32 sec ago
user 5 38 min 9 sec 38 min 9 sec ago
user 6 5 weeks 3 days 1 hour 7 min ago
user 7 2 hours 17 min 2 hours 11 min ago
user 8 45 seconds ago 45 seconds ago
Is there a formula I can use to convert these human readble text strings into a number of weeks elapsed since today's date?
how would you do the following in excel 2007:
"SUM numbers within a cell based on unique strings in another cell".
For example, how would i use formula to SUM the following numbers (and only the numbers for david and sam only once), 700+454+50+40+2+129+16
700david
700 david
454john
50buch

I have two adjacent strings in a CSV file that I'm importing which were originally intended as a single piece of data. The format of the strings are:
5'-3 3/4" (Yes, it's a good old imperial length measurement)
Right now, I have (5'-3) in one cell, and (3/4") in the next.
I'd like to try to append the second string (3/4") to the first in a single cell. Is there any way for me to do that using VBA?
Once a week I recieve a data file from another department and their report shows the period starting as well as ending but in text format all in one cell.
How can I extract the two dates to show the srart date in one cell and the end date in another. The example that would arrive in cell A1 is:
Reporting Period: 01/01/2009 00:00 to 07/05/2009 23:59
The hours and minutes do not matter.
I'm just trying to view the results of this search, I don't need it to make changes to the cells on the bases of this search.
I'm using control + F to open the search box.
It only allows me to type in one single string, such as "Johnson". Problem is, it finds many rows that contain the name Johnson.
So I'd like to further add a number, such as 1.3338, which it can look for in any cell that's on the same ROW where it found Johnson.
It would then return, for example, Row number 81, which has a cell that contains Johnson and another cell that contains 1.3338.
i have in a cell a Text like this..
Chicago (TZGUG)
i tried a formula.. like this..
=LEFT(F3;LEN(F3)-1
to remove only ) ..
but how can i remove the ( too ..
and also Chicago
so the result in a cell would be TZGUG
