I have cells enrties which can look like this:
Cell Entries: Desired Results Cars 6 6 Trucks 11 11 Bikes 4*3 12 Mowers 31*100 3100 They might have an * in them, or not. If there is not an asteric, i want to, in an adjacent cell, to have the value 6, as shown under "Desired results" for Cars, or, 3100 (31*100), as shown under Desired results for Mowers. If there is no asteric, the number can be from 1 to 3 digits long. If there is an asteric, the number to the left of it can be from 1 to 3 digits long, and the number to the right can be from 1-5 digits long. There will always be 10 spaces from the word to the number, so that for example, the Len of "Cars 6" is 15 (4 + 10 + 1), and the length of "Bikes 4*3" is 18 (5 + 10 + 3). I have been unscucessful in creating a formula that will give me the value, or, if "*", is present, perform the multiplication. Thanks, Tonso |
