I have a spreadsheet where column "A" concatenates an product name with
its product number. The product are within brackets, and, unfortunately, are of varying lengths. Herewith two examples: PRODUCT 123[R56011] PRODUCT 45678[5065] What I need to do is create a column "B" that only has the SKU number. This will allow me to use the VLOOKUP function to match data in other columns based on the unique SKU number with data in another sheet. Specifically, the column "B" data for the two examples above should look like: R56011 5065 I can't program on my own, but is there a command or function that will allow me to instruct excel to take only the characters between those brackets and put it in the adjacent cell in column B, regardless of the number of characters between the brackets? If anyone has advice, it'd be great! |
