Hi,
I have to separate a range into alphabetical and numerical part before
and after ":". The problem is i can not use left("text",2) as the
length of string (range) varies....

Eg.

string "A1200:AB13000" --like to get--

lefttext = A, leftnumber = 1200, righttext=AB, rightnumber=13000


the length of string is not fix ....and this is a big problem for
me....might not for you :)

Please help me...or let me know where can i find the info....

Thanks a lot....

Hi

Data Text To Columns with semicolon as separator (and be sure there is a
free column as next to one with original data).

Dim sTest As String
Dim iFirstRow As Long
Dim iLastRow As Long
Dim sFirstCol As String
Dim sLastCol As String
Dim rng As Range

sTest = "A1200:AB13000"
Set rng = Range(sTest)
iFirstRow = rng.Row
iLastRow = rng.Rows.Count + iFirstRow - 1
sFirstCol = Replace(Left(sTest, InStr(sTest, ":") - 1), iFirstRow, "")
sLastCol = Replace(Replace(sTest, sFirstCol & iFirstRow & ":", ""),
iLastRow, "")

For a formula solution, you could download and install Longre's free
morefunc.xll add-in from http://xcell05.free.fr/

Then, with your data in A1,

B1: =REGEX.MID($A1,"[A-Z]+|\d+",COLUMNS($A:A))

Copy/drag across as far as required.
