Extract DAta from text
 
Hi All

We sell a part that is based on size and has a part number named "CH##R##"
where the number after "CH" is the number of characters and the number after
"R" the number of rows.

These numbers can be 1 or 2 digits long.

I currently use a "vlookup" formula to extract the selling price from a
table, where I manually type in the number of characters and rows.

What I would also like to do is to be able to enter the part number and
extract the information from that.

Could someone show me how to do it ?

I've had a go but because the numbers can be one or two digits I'm having
problems.

Thanks

Dave

Hi,
Not sure what format you want, but if the part number is in E10,
This formula in a cell will return the digits that follow CH:
=IF(ISNUMBER(MID(E10,3,2)*1),MID(E10,3,2),MID(E10, 3,1))
and this next formula in another cell will return the digits that follow R
=IF(ISNUMBER(RIGHT(E10,2)*1),RIGHT(E10,2),RIGHT(E1 0,1))

Hope this is helpful
Regards - Dave.
