Could you explain what these values represent and what manipulation
you're attempting to achieve with the formula?

It will be much easier to provide you with a working solution if we're
armed with that info.
This is for a soccer game report, in which the numbers before the slash
are the jersey number of the scorer, and the numbers after the slash
represent the time of the goal, expressed as a minute reference, e.g. 78
= 78th minute of the game.
The organization I work for has a terrible time in getting users to
input data correctly according to this format, so it was my task to see
if we can restrict users to entering data in this format or else the
cell would reject the input. I've found the closest thing to a solution
to be the data validation feature but I'm stuck on the code.
Recap, I've got the formula working for ##/##' and ###/###', but the
formula bar seems to cap off at a certain point, so I cannot add on the
formats ##/###' and ###/##'. I can easily rework the formula so that
any 2 of these formats is included, but not all 4.

Any reason for not using 2 input cells (ie player number in A5; time in B5)
? That would simplify your problem enormously. :)

Having seen the workbook, that was my suggestion too.
It seems the best option.
