extracting data and text.
 

Dear All,

Greetings of the day!!!!!
I have an excel file with bulk of contents in following format.
Col A contains description, Colc Contains (Size inches to the corresponding
description)
Col D contains the Qty. to the corresponding Description.

I want to fetch form ColA i.e( Only Pipe and ELL as a text from entire
string.)
i.e if pipe is available in string then fetch it or if ELL is available in
same string then fetch it.
But in each string only either pipe will bet there or ELL will be there or
nothing.
Possibilty of finding the string is One( i.e either pipe or ELL not both in
same string.)

From column C the corersponding inches i want to fetch.
From column D the corersponding Qty. i want to fetch.

From All three columns appear contents respectively in ColE, COlF and Col G.

Basically this is for compilation of requisite data only.
Note:- The excel file is converted from Pdf file.

Please assist with any formula or macro or the logic you can share.

You could do this with formulas:
In E2
=IF(ISERR(FIND("pipe",A2)),IF(ISERR(FIND("ell",A2) ),"","ELL"),"PIPE")
in F2
=IF(E2="","",C2)
in G2
=IF(E2="","",D2)
and fill down the sheet. Then filter by non-blank in column E to see only
those items found.

Interesting points on extracting data, For extracting data i use
python for simple things,data extraction can be a time consuming
process
but for larger projects like documents, files, or the web i tried <a
href="http://www.extractingdata.com""extracting data from the web"</
a which worked great, they build quick custom screen scrapers,
extracting data, and data parsing programs
