Selecting only certain characters from a cell value?
 

Hi all,

In a cell value (loaded from a .cap file) i have the date, which
need to use for ensuring that (when i work out how to do it), my copie
range goes into the right sheet.

So, i have the date in 1 cell in this format:
Wed 17 Nov 2004 05:34P

Is there any VBA that could almost take apart the value, and extrac
the necessary data?

I was thinking something along the lines of removing the first
characters, keeping the next 11 and removing anything after that.

That would then leave me with 17 Nov 2004, which i would then use fo
the lookup fun thats ahead of me.

Any ideas, or advice?
Thank you so muc

Is there any VBA that could almost take apart the value, and extract
the necessary data?

I was thinking something along the lines of removing the first 4
characters, keeping the next 11 and removing anything after that.

That would then leave me with 17 Nov 2004, which i would then use for
the lookup fun thats ahead of me.

Any ideas, or advice?
Thank you so much

Can you use =MID(A1,5,11) in excel?

Hi,

use this formula in VBA:

date=cdate(mid("Wed 17 Nov 2004 05:34P ",4,len("Wed 17 Nov 2004
05:34P ")-4))

You will get date as result.

In case you want to convert it somehow else, explore type conversion
functions in VBA help.

Regards,
Ivan
