Extracting Certain Data within a cell

[jenrique.cerda]

Hi, I´ve got a problem here.

I have a column where cells are classified as No-35 2N ,etc. The NO- is fixed and the only thing that is variable here is the weeknumber in this case the 35 is the week number. The 2N stands for second notice, if there is a third notice I would put No-35 3N etc. If there is no notice I would put No-35 or if I notified another week it would be No-36...

I have a column with lots of week numbers; 2N, 3N, 4N, 5N, etc. Is there a way in which I can extract only the weeknumber from the cell???

In a No-37 3N I´d like to have only the 37 as a value.

In advance for your help thanks.

Welcome to the Board!

How's this:

=MID(A1,4,2)

Hope that helps,

Smitty

If the data is in cell A1 try

=MID(A1,4,2)+0

Weeks less than ten...formatted as<ul>[*]No-01, No-02 or [*]No-1, No-2?[/list]Heya, Smitty!

Excellent, thanks to you all guys down from Monterrey, Mexico.

Just one more thing, is there a way to do this in Visual Basic?

Favor lea me pregunta porque puede ser que falla para las primeras nueve semanas si el formato no es de dos dígitos.

You can use practically (well exactly really) the same formula in VBA as Smitty has posted for the worksheet.

How exactly do you want this to work in VBA?

By the way another non-formula option might be to use Data>Text to columns... with - and space as delimiters.

Ok I understand you now, and the first weeks are in the two digit forms too Greg.

Thanks agian and have a nice weekend.
