Extract 2, 3, 4 or 5-digit number from string
Jim, If the text string is in cell D6 - try this. =IF(ISERROR(SEARCH("categoryid=",D6)),"",MID(D6,SE ARCH("categoryid=",D6)+11,LEN(D6)-SEARCH("categoryid=",D6)+11)) This function assumes that the numbers are on the end of the text string. if there is a constant text ending - such as ".com" or something, simply subtract the length of that string ending from the mid function. -- barrfly Excel User - Energy markets ------------------------------------------------------------------------ barrfly's Profile: http://www.excelforum.com/member.php...fo&userid=4141 View this thread: http://www.excelforum.com/showthread...hreadid=376856 |
