I have a spreadsheet which contains a column of several thousands of database record serial numbers in the following format: ABC1234DE-YZ123456 (Sometimes there is an additional letter before the "-"). To complicate matters, this serial number is inside a text string of various different lengths. I have been able to extract the serial number using a MID(FIND()) formula.
The problem I am encountering is sometimes there are multiple serial numbers in the same text string, separated by a "/", and I need to be able to extract each serial number individually. Is this even possible, or do I have to keep manually extracting these combine serial numbers?
Unfortunately I am unable to reconfigure the source data to be more user friendly, so I have to work with what I'm given. I am pretty familiar with using formulas, but have no experience with VBA. Please help! Thank you.
