Is there a way of extracting all non alphanumeric characters from a single collumn?
After extraction, I just want strings with A to Z letters, 0 to 9 numbers, spaces and hiffens(-). All in lower case.
I have a rather difficult task to accomplish. What I need is to be able to extract an alphanumeric value from the string. It is a serial number of the equipment and it is always nine alphanumeric characters long. The problem is it can be anywhere in string. Example: “2156545 36 month lease NWL023568 Nancy Clay”. The serial number I need to extract is NWL023568.

There are thousands of rows to extract the alpha numeric values from.
I have a column of data that contains text such as 'as per A3', 'B4 requested' and 'as per F6 Mark' (these aren't cell references).
I'm trying to find a formula that will just strip out the 'A3', 'B4' and 'F6' element of the text. I've tried SEARCH with wildcards but it's not working, and can;t use the LEFT RIGHT or MID functions due to the inconsistent data.
I've got this problem: I need to separate around 40 alphanumerical entry in Column'A' to Columns'B','C','D','E'..
View 6 Replies View RelatedI have alphanumeric characters and I have to rank them. Previously these characters were only digits (Using Rank function) and now some alphabets mixed with them. What is the function to rank Alphanumeric characters? They are like:
1A2240E01
210003004U
216000001U
499630001
463630001
400650001
I need a macro to delete only the alphabets which are entered along with numbers. Ex: 300ML. BY running a macro i need to delete only the "ML" and the number 300 should remain the same.
Range is For Rows: Entire rows
For columns: F TO P
The cell values betwwen these ranges contains alphanumeric such as 20KG,300ML,200M ...etc
Hence i need a macro to delete the alpha charecters for the particular range.
I am using the Concatenate() function to join strings from A1 and B1.
The result goes into C1.
How do I remove all the punctuation too?
In other words, I want to keep ONLY the upper and lower case alphanumeric characters....

I am trying to remove all characters that aren't letters or numbers from a string. Is there any way to differentiate between a non-alphanumeric characters and alphanumeric characters? I'm thinking of something like "ISTEXT()" that I could use on one character at a time. Or are there any wildcards I could use in the Replace function?

View 9 Replies View RelatedI have a large column of text with multiple entries similar to this: PC3L-10600R-9-11-A0. I need to replace the "11" with a 13. However I have other instances where the 11 appears (PC3-12800E-11-11-D0 or PC3L-12800R-11-11-A0).
I have found that I can use SUBSTITUTION
{=SUBSTITUTE(A50,H50,I50,1) and =SUBSTITUTE(A61,H61,I61,2)}
to handle the specific instances but I'd like to have a way to combine this type of function logically in one command.
I have the following in Column A

I'm trying to sort by a column with one to four digit numbers, any of which may be followed by a single letter, i.e. 1,2,3 4A,5, 10,11A,75,101A,600,705,1010B,1011A.
I'd like them to sort in the above order. I am only able to have excel 2003 sort all of the numeric cells first, followed by the cells with the alpha character.
Having trouble with this one. Searches seem to bring up every other variation of extracting info from strings except this.
I have cells which contain alphanumeric strings as below and, using a formula, I want to extract everything from and including the last letter to give A 2-3, B 3 and C 3-4 in the examples below.
Sub-base A 2-3
Sub-base B 3
Paving C 3-4
i have 8 digit invoice numbers. Each 8 digit number starts with one of three 4 digit ID codes. Depending on the first 4 digits, I want a different "company" to show up.

I have a spreadsheet containing 2 columns. Column B contains a list of item numbers which are made up of either all numeric values or alpha numeric values. Column A will contain the vendor code which must be extracted from the item number in Column B based on the following criteria:
a. If the item # in Column B begins with the letters ZZZ and the next four (4) characters immediately following the ZZZ letters are ALL numeric, then the vendor code = the next four characters immediately following the ZZZ.
b. If the item # in Column B begins with the letters ZZZ and the next three (3) characters immediately following the ZZZ letters are alpha numeric, then the vendor code = the next three characters immediately following the ZZZ.
c. If the item # in Column B begins with the letters AMER, then the vendor code = AMER.
d. If the first four (4) characters in the item # in column B are all numeric values then the vendor code = the first four numeric characters from the item #.
e. If the first three (3) characters in the item # in Column B are alpha-numeric values, then the vendor code = the first three alpha numeric characters from the item # in Column B.
I tried writing the following formula and receive a #VALUE! error message:
=IF(AND(LEFT(B3="ZZZ",ISNUMBER(MID(B3,4,4)*1)=TRUE)),MID(B3,4,4),IF(AND(LEFT(B3="ZZZ",ISTEXT(MID(B3,4,3)))=TRUE),MID(B3,4,3),IF(LEFT(B3,4)="AMER","AMER",IF(ISNUMBER(LEFT(B3,4)*1)=TRUE,VALUE(LEFT(B3,4)),LEFT(B3,3)))))
I am trying to extract text from stings that appear in the following format XXX-XXX-XXX and XXX-XXX-XXX-XXX.
I have figured out how to extract the first and second sets of data, what I am stuck on is getting the third and (if present) fourth sections.
ive search the forums for this particular need and found somthing close but not what i need. i need to write a formula (not VBA) to extract a string of letters which can very in number out of a string of characters in a particular cell.
ex. cell A1= 00abcdefg00-000-00
cell A2 = abcdefg
i've tried different methods but can seem to come up with anything.
Is there a way either by VBA or manually (preferably both, if possible) to actually unite the X amount of numbers that are in a cell given the contents is alphanumeric? I'll give you the following examples to see if you can understand what I' referring to?
DATA output should be
asd67,h876 --------> 67876
2,3,ujdj5&34 -------> 23534
909k86m34 --------> 9098634
I have the data string below:
Career:25: 1-0-2 $13,765
I would like to extract the 1 between the : and - and as a seperate extraction would like te 2 between the - and the $ I have tried a few things but end up with the - as the length of the data changes
I import data from another program in order to evaluate it. Unfortunately, one of the fields I need contains copyright data, however, it has been very inconsistently entered into the database. For example, sometimes the data appears "c1999." or "-1999" or "" or "[1999]" or even "19?" and also sometimes "1999, 1990" and many other variations on that. I discovered the link in the excel help file about extracting numbers from alphanumeric strings, but my situation is still too variable for it to apply; that file didn't take into account that alphanumeric strings don't always lump numbers and letters together. I was able to correct a few things, but my command of excel isn't knowledgeable enough to really come up with something effective.
Some ideas I had that I don't know how to implement: is there a way to strip non-numerical characters from an alphanumeric string? (I've been doing some find/replaces to get rid of some of it, but that is obviously not very efficient when I have to repeat this process daily.) Perhaps then I could just detect the first 4 numbers of the string somehow. However, that doesn't solve the problem of when a wild card is used as in "199?" or "20?" etc.
Bottom line, I just need to grab the first four numbers that appear in the string (but NOT additional numbers that occur after a wild card or a space if the year was not completed in 4 numbers; in that case I'd just be happy with a null value).
I've been doing this with a formula so far. My only experience with macros has been in simply recording them, not actually writing them, but I'll give anything a try.
I need to automatically populate a column with an alphanumeric MFR0001 to MFR9999 and am currently using the formula below to add 1 to the start point (A1)...
A1=MFR0001
Formula in A2 =LEFT(C1,3)&(RIGHT(C1,4)+1)
This works perfectly if I start at MFR1000, but breaks and drops the 000 if I use it on the number I need to start with (MFR0001).
I have a directory folder with an active workbook and another workbook id like to copy data from. The Following macro opens up a file in the same directory, copies some data and pastes it in the active workbook. However with this code I have to specify the filename, 'Data.xlsm' in the example code. I would like it to copy data from the only other workbook in the current directory WITHOUT having to specify the name in the code, so just opening it up no matter what filename it has.
In addition I would like to extract the filename from the workbook im copying data from and paste it into the activewoorkbook in sheet 1 Cell A1. I had a look at getopenfilename function but cant seem to make it work for my purpose.

How to add this syntax with the listed code in excel file?
It looks for a numeric value then increments it of +1 based on the value found.
How would I modify this for it to look for an alphanumeric value first (EX.: 0A) then increment it alphabetically (Ex.: if 0A then the result would be 0B) and if the value searched is not alphanumeric it would then revert to the initial bit of code that searches for the numeric value?
Dim FndRw As Long, c As Range, LstRw As Long
Set c = Cells.Find(What:="No.", After:=Cells(1, 1), SearchOrder:=xlByRows, SearchDirection:=xlPrevious)
If Not c Is Nothing Then
FndRw = c.Row
If Len(Cells(FndRw + 1, "B")) Then

I create inventory cards and each needs a unique 4 character sequence number. Currently I have it set up with 4 cards per sheet. If I need to print more than 4 cards, the worksheet will print one sheet of 4, reset itself and increment the sequence number by 4 and continue this cycle until I've printed the number I need.
Currently I have it only using numbers. I start at 1000 and it increments, by 4, up to 9995. Once it reaches 9995 or higher, the increment resets to 1000 and starts over. The problem I am facing is I am now starting to get several cards that have the same "unique" sequence number. What I would like to do is change it from numerical sequencing to alphanumeric sequencing.
This is the code I currently use for the incrementing....
I have a few columns of letters (ranging from A to Z) - onyl one letter per cell. I need to be able to deduct them such that they result in a numeric difference (ie D-B=2, D-A=3). Is there any way this can be done in VBA? (The actual columns are in a word table, so would be great if there was a VBA way to do this, not an excel function).
