Strip Alpha Characters out of an Alphanumeric Dataset
 

I am looking for a macro to Strip Alpha Characters out of an
Alphanumeric Dataset and leave me with just the Alpha characters.


De954 becomes just De

Thanks in advance for your help!:confused:

Use the replace function

Replace 0 with nothing
then 1 with nothing
etc.

Function fAlphaOnly(sTest)
For i = 1 To Len(sTest)

If Not s Like "#" Then _

Strip Alpha Characters out of an Alphanumeric Dataset
 

Tom,
Thanks for the help. Here is more detail of what what I am trying to
do. I have an inventory listing that has each item and a date code.
Prior to the year 2000 a date code may start with a 9 to identify that
it was produced in 1999 and any following digits are month and day. In
2000, they changed the year identifier to Alph Characters. So "A" now
signifies it was produced in 2000, "B" in 2001, and so forth. I found a
macro to strip the Alpha character off, but I need one to strip off the
nemeric characters so I am calculate each items age. I can't use
replace because it will alter the ones that don't have an alpha
character see examples below.

Item Date Code
1 90112 =January 12, 1999
2 A0520 =May 20, 2000
3 B1215 =December 15, 2001
4 80925 =September 25, 1998

Do you want to strip the character off or do you want to create a valid date
from the information in the code.

Sub Tester5()
Dim cell As Range
Dim dtVal As Date
Dim sStr As String
For Each cell In Selection
If IsNumeric(Left(cell.Value, 1)) Then
sStr = Mid(cell.Value, 2, 2) & "/" & _
Right(cell.Value, 2) & "/" & "199" & Left(cell.Value, 1)
Else
sStr = Mid(cell.Value, 2, 2) & "/" & _
Right(cell.Value, 2) & "/" & "200"
sStr = sStr & (Asc(Left(cell.Value, 1)) - 65)
End If

dtVal = CDate(sStr)
Cells(cell.Row, "E").Value = Format(dtVal, "mmm dd, yyyy")

Next
End Sub



This give you the date. Tested with you codes in column A, placing the date
in column E.

It works fine for me with the test data you showed. But if Gord's does
what you wanted, then mine would not be useful. Mine actually builds the
dates as you described the codes.

Tom,

Thanks for the help, yours actually makes for less work. I figured out
my problem. I had some blanks and the macro didn't like them. Once i
corrected that issue is ran fine.

Thanks again,

Would something like this work? Sometimes these can be a hair slower, but I

Hi Greg. I was just throwing out some ideas. If you are using them on a
worksheet, you may want to separate the formulas into NumbersOnly and
LettersOnly. This might make the worksheet easier to read.
However, to answer your question, you would select B1:C1, type in
"=Letters_Numbers(A1)", and array enter the formula (Ctrl+Shift+Enter).
It would be similar to entering the Array formula like this...

Sub Demo()
[A1] = "AS154WEP7548WE"
[B1:C1].FormulaArray = "=Letters_Numbers(A1)"
End Sub


If you want in vba, you could use relative reference. Maybe something
like...

Sub Demo()
[A2] = "ABC123DEF456"
[B2:C2].FormulaArray = "=Letters_Numbers(RC[-1])"
End Sub

Just some ideas. HTH. :)
In certain speed tests, I found this to be a "little" slower. However, I
like em.
