How to extract only the number out from the description?
the number can be in left, middle, right..

I created a macro that opens a page as an excel sheet, grabs data from it, and inserts it into a cell.
My problem is that one of the cells has an abundance of data that I don't need.
The data that it puts into the cell looks like this: 0849940222,* Bill Myers ,* Thomas Nelson,*1997-10-02 The only thing I need is the first name that shows up.
The number at the beginning is always the same length, so I thought about using a trim function for that, but since names are not always the same length, how to do the other end. Maybe get the value for commas and delete everything before the first and after the second...I also don't know how to do that in VBA.
I have random comments in a column of cells of which I'm searching for a specific string of characters that may be contained in each cell. I want to pull 2 pieces of data from this specific string and place the data in 2 other cells in the same row.
Sample comments in cell 'N1':
..... blah, Appt: Friday; 12/4; night drop off. blah, blah....
Sample comments in cell 'N2' (and so on and so on):
.....blah, blah, Appt: Thurs; 12/3; 12:30PM. blah, ....
The specific string in the above examples will always begin with:
APPT:
Then the key elements found directly after the 'APPT:' are:
Thurs; 12/3; 12:30PM.
(which are the)
DAY; DATE; TIME.
These elements will be always separated by the semi-colon ';' and the string will always end with the period '.'
I need a pair of formulas to be in col 'J' & 'K' to extract the DATE and place it in column 'J' and the TIME and place in column 'K', both in each same rows.
So, from the 2 above samples I would need the following:
in Cells:
J1 - 12/4 ....... K1 - night drop off
J2 - 12/3 ....... K2 - 12:30PM
I've been trying to come up with a formula using a combination of FIND() & MID(),
I need a formula which would take the last number that appears in a column and place it in A1.
The column is D10 through to D44 and the last number can appear in any one of those cells.
I have over 7000 items with a unique 6 digit item number each. They are separated buy category numbers. So category 5 may have 30 item numbers in it. column A has 555555555666666666777777777. Column B has the item numbers. I have about 200 categories.
In the workbook I have separate sheets for each category.
I need to pull all the item numbers from category 5 to sheet tab 5, all cat 6 numbers to sheet tab 6 and so on.
I do know excel but never used code.

I have an inventory list (non-sequential) and I want to pull only the items with id codes that are with in 4 different ranges.
I would like to populate column A with the results, search paramiters are in Q3 and S3.
I can get it to work on a small scale but my inventory list is 10143 rows long.
I have a worksheet that is full of names (column A) and dollar amounts (column B). Many of the names are repeats.
How do I pull the largest dollar amount for each unique name in the worksheet?
Wondering if it is possible to generate a random 4 digit number based off an alphanumeric string?
Example;
Cell A1 has 123XVF1234
Cell A2 has 321AFW4321
In B1 I would like to have a 4-6 digit number that is generated based on the alphanumeric data in Cell A1 (and so on down the list). If that is possible, I would also need to be able to convert back the 4-6 digit number back to its original alphanumeric value
Example;
If B1 returns 643562 it would need to be able to be converted back to 123XVF1234
In sheet1 I have a simple database consisting of 5 columns of data
Column A : Name ie James Jones
Column B : payroll number ie 123456
Column C : shift times ie 1245-2124
Column D : job title ie floor
Column E : comments ie A/L or 0600-1500
what I would like is some code that will go down Column E and if a 'time string' ie 1300-2130 is found then copy this string and paste into corresponding value in column C. If a text string is found ie A/L or Sick or anything like this then ignore and move onto next cell, loop this until all cells in column E have been checked.
I have a set of data like below, I am trying to get a formula to look at a range i.e. May column and then select the highest number in that range but rather than returning the number returning the team name, is that possible? Not sure where to start...

I need to create a string of all the Acc Number but I dun not wan any repeat of the same Acc number in the String . The number of Acc number to be put in the string may varies sometimes. It may varies from 3 to 1000 or more . Is there a way to write a general formula to create such string?
View 4 Replies View RelatedI have a list of names in a single cell. They are all seperated by a comma, then a space. Example would be: John Smith, Steve Wilson, Wallace O Malley, etc. What formula could I use to pull out the names individually, starting from the farthest right?
View 2 Replies View RelatedFor this example, A1 is the given at 19.875 I am trying to get A2 to net a result of 19.5. A2 is to net that result by searching through cells B1:B14 and finding the nearest equal or lower number. If A1 is less than 13.5 a result of "error" should be generated in A2.
B1=13.5
B2=15.5
B3=17.5
B4=19.5

I am looking for a way to add the 123 plus 456 to get 579. I have had some ideas that almost work, but I cannot get rid of the ' .
View 11 Replies View RelatedIs there way in Excel VBA to check if a string contains a number, and then return TRUE or FALSE. Numbers can been anywhere in the string. See example below.
View 6 Replies View RelatedI 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.
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"

I'm trying to extract the number portion from the following string. I'm trying to use FIND to find the first digit between 1 and 2 so I used an "or" argument along with the code number, however it's not working here. What I really want to do is find any digit between 1 and 9 in the string, however I started with this formula for now. why this doesn't work and provide a better formula. I want to understand why this didn't work to understand the functions better. Text string is as follows "standard VAT rate: 20% (Jan 1984)". The formula I used in the following =MID(A253,FIND(OR(Char(49),CHAR(50)),A253),2) where A253 contains the string. Is it possible to use a logical argument within a find?
View 7 Replies View RelatedWe are trying to make either a macro or a function that will look through the contents of a cell, find the first NUMBER and then paste the results to another column. Below is an example of what may be in cell A1:
#BC7K,03/30/2007,0.00636,0.0069,0.00614,0.0062,0.0,0
We want only to find the FIRST NUMBER in this string, so the result should be 7.

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?
I have a list of English game results with the score and the soccers of the game.
E.g. : [Steinsson 34, Davies 41, Elmander 46; Fuller 91]
As you can see in the excel, what Im trying to do is to find the time i.e which is the numbers in the field and display them seperately onto the cells beside. So what i need is to Find and extract these numbers 34,41,46,91 and paste them just beside cell on the list.
I can use formula but i can only display 1 number, so i think this might require a VBA script.Thanks in advance guys..
I need to calculate the sum of digits in a numeric string. The function should keep on adding the digits of each result, till the final sum is a single digit. Please refer to the following example and result expected:-
Supposed the number entered in Cell A1 is 456789
Result 1 = 4+5+6+7+8+9 = 39
Result 2 = 3+9 = 12
Final Result required = 1+2 = 3
I have in a cell a text string and I want to add a number automatically in the following rows. With other words
Product01
Product02
Product03
Etc
Product is a constant
How will I do this I know I can type the numbers and CONCATENATE it with the text part but I am too lazy to type out all the numbers to 1000
I would like to parse a part number.

if there is a "-#-" in the string, that is the value I want. If the "-#-" is not present, I would like to take the first number. Currently, as written in your first example, I am getting the first number - excellent and thank you!
In the sku, the first digit reprepresents capacity. If a second number is present after the capacity portion of the sku (i.e. "-#-"), that means that they want to order it filled with less than capacity. For instance, a carton of eggs and they want 6 eggs instead of the max capacity of 12. (i.e. egg12-6-z2z). Numbers after the second octet (i.e. z2z) do not matter.
It would be a number only in the second octet. If there are characters with it, the equation should disregard it.
Here are the scenarios, and what the formula should accomplish
1) egg12 --> currently returns 12
2) egg12-6 --> would return 6
3) egg12-6-g2c --> would return 6
4) egg12-g2c --> would return 12
I have a list of customers and account numbers contained within a cell. I need a formula if possible that searches from the right of the cell and then returns the all the numbers. e.g.
Arsenal1234Required formula result 1234
Liverpool2456Required formula result2456
Chelsea100564Required formula result100564
I can not use text to columns as they data is not consistant. Also worth noting is that the customer numbers vary fro 1 digit to 9 digits long.
Have many rows of alphanumeric strings. 2-4 letters followed by a variety of numbers, some spaces, and some additional letters. What I need is to return the first number after the initial 2-4 letters, everything after that first digit is junk. Thus, I would like a formula that takes me from:
AB23400 12 -> 2
CET25800 1 -> 2
NYT67300 H01 -> 6
HSRF49900 1 -> 4
Examples of content of two cells are:
50.20283625183448da
1195.368480208458hr
where the right alpha characters always count two.
I need the left number as a Double and the right two characters as String (or ?) to compare with Array("mn","da","yr") etc to determine the index I don't know how to write the code.
I'm trying to pull a specific 10 digit number from a text string. The ID # is always 10 digits however sometimes there are dates in the data that need to be excluded as well as other numbers such as "I-9". The 10 digit number will always start with 1 or 8. Is there a macro or Formula to extract this data? Please find the example dataset below.
Edit: I should specify I want the "100118416" number from the first cell example or the "800011320" number from the 10th example.

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?...
where i can grab a number from a cell it would ALWAYS be the last string item..
for example if cell A1 has the following text:
04/02 Card Purchase 03/31 Google*1873060297 Cc@Google.Com CA Card 5036 $500.00
i want cell B1 to hold just the $500
this wold always be the case for everything im trying to do
