Can any one help me with a formula or macro to analyze dimensions?
My column has many sizes listed, but I need to change it or mark in another column that it's too big fit in my area of 12.375x18.375.
For instance, I have these sizes below, they would be marked too big cause they don't fit:
18x18​
10x55​
20x2.5​
20x.75​
5x24
32x10​

I'm just doing a macro with a simple find & replace now, but I have about 50ish find/replaces and my list keeps growing:
Columns("K:K").Select​
Selection.Replace What:="18x18", Replacement:="TOO BIG", LookAt:=xlPart, _​
SearchOrder:=xlByRows, MatchCase:=False​

These sizes would be left alone or not noted as they would fit:
5.5x7​
11x17​
8.5x11​
2x18​
12x18​
18x12 (this would fit, cause it would be rotated to 12x18 fit my area)​

I think the logic would be:
if the number on either side of the "x" is greater than 18.375 then text "TOO BIG"
or​
if both numbers on either side of the "x" are greater than 12.375 then text "TOO BIG"

Any help would be appreciated...

Do you hate GETPIVOTDATA?
Prevent GETPIVOTDATA. Select inside a PivotTable. In the Analyze tab of the ribbon, open the dropown next to Options and turn it off
Here's a user-defined function (UDF) you can use just like a worksheet function after you install it.

320x2.5Too Big
420x.75Too Big

98.5x11OK
102x18OK
1112x18OK
1218x12OK

Code:
Function TooBigTest(S As String) As String
Dim V As Variant
If S = "" Then
    TooBigTest = ""
    Exit Function
End If
V = Split(S, "x")
If V(0) > 12.375 And V(1) > 18.375 Then
    TooBigTest = "Too Big"
    Exit Function
ElseIf V(0) > 18.375 Or V(1) > 18.375 Then
    TooBigTest = "Too Big"
    Exit Function
ElseIf V(0) > 12.375 And V(1) > 12.375 Then
    TooBigTest = "Too Big"
    Exit Function
End If
TooBigTest = "OK"
End Function

Thanks Joe! This worked Great!
I did tweak a little bit as the first as "if" statement wasn't needed, then to return the values if not "too big", so I can sort later:
Code:
Function TooBigTest(S As String) As StringDim V As Variant
If S = "" Then
    TooBigTest = ""
    Exit Function
End If
V = Split(S, "x")


If V(0) > 18.375 Or V(1) > 18.375 Then
    TooBigTest = "TOO BIG"
    Exit Function
ElseIf V(0) > 12.375 And V(1) > 12.375 Then
    TooBigTest = "TOO BIG"
    Exit Function
End If
TooBigTest = S
End Function

So my results on column B would be:

AB
3x53x5
5x75x7
32x10TOO BIG
8.5x118.5x11
12x1812x18
18x1218x12
13x13TOO BIG
13x213x2

Again, thanks a bunch, I really appreciate it!
