Search text string for ssn and copy to new column
I have lines of text containing various information. The SSN section appears
at different spots in the string but is always in the same format xxx-xx-xxxx. Can I use a formula (IF statement?) to search the strings to find the ssn and copy it into a separate column? The spacing between items, characters per item and string length always vary. Ex below. ADAM SMITH B xxx-xx-xxxx 04/2C 06/26/2006 25951 N 5988 |
