Default converting text in cell to a date time

you are correct
some of the other codes are as follows

7AP4 = 7AM PRACTICE WITH 4
103H2 = 10:3OAM HOME GAME VS. 2
73AG3 = 7:30 AM GAME @ 3
73HN1N = 7:30PM HOME GAME VS N1 IN NEWCASTLE

The last character always refers to location and if no alpha character then
default is default location A there are 5 locations with only 4 being
identified as 5 = blank

time can be up to 4 characters with default always being a PM time except as
follows

7A = 7am, 73A = 7:30 am, 8A = 8am, 9A = 9am, 10 = 10am as no PM on Saturdays
or Sundays same applies to 11. 103 = 10:30 am, 11 = 11am, 113= 11:30 am, 12
= 12pm, 123 = 12:30pm, 1 = 1pm, 13 = 1:30pm and so on

the next character in the code of which there is only 3, refers to the event
P = practice H = Home game G = Away game

the next character(s) refer to the team which go anything from 1-22 as well
as N1, N2, N3, O1 and O2

hence you 7 charater code 103GN1O which equates to 10:30 away game vs.
Newcastle 1 in Orono and the date at the top of the column tells ya the
date.. hope this helps..

Can you give a bit more detail about the 3-7 character text items.

I'm assuming you can have something like 1P4 meaning 01:00 a.m., but
how do you get up to 7 characters?

Is the "P" code always a one character or more? and how many codes are
there in this position.

Similarly with the "4" code. how many people are there? up to 99 or
more?

Finally what is "Courtice". Is this always the same or is this to be
derived from a Lookup table based on the who?

I have a range say A4:A200 in cell A3 is the date and in the range there is a
bunch of cells that have a 3 up to 7 character text that equate to a time,
event, who and where code. I need something that will take the code and put
that code in a oneliner

ie code is 11P4 one liner should read today's date the 11 = 11am the
P =practice and the 4 is who and because there no character after the 4 the
location is known as Courtice with each peice of info in the one liner going
in it's own seperate cell

any help on this would be appreciated
