Spliting Numbers from a Text string
In my worksheet I have a series of cells containing a text string. I
Would like split the text up into individual cells. The "05" is a date. "PM" is a time code. Everything between "05" & "PM" is a complete title. All the rest after "PM" is seven numbers separrated by a space. day location 05 BARHRJANS REGULAR1 PM 16.00 16.00 1.00 2.00 0.00 11.83 19. 05 BARHYTRFGHKNS REGULAR2 PM 1.00 1.00 10.00 20.00 0.00 121.83 129. 05 BARHHUNNY44S REGULAR3 PM 110.00 10.00 10.00 2.00 0.00 11.83 119. 05 BARHR887-GUNNS REGULAR4 PM 0.00 0.00 1.00 2.00 0.00 11.83 19. The date code, "05" and time code "PM" never change in text length. But the title length and the number vary in length. =VALUE(MID(RIGHT(A1,LEN(A1)-SEARCH(" PM ",A1)-3), 1,SEARCH(".",RIGHT(A1,LEN(A1)-SEARCH(" PM ",A1)-3)))) will give me the 1st value of 16 if I use the time code "PM" to search with and then the decimal point "." Is there a better way? |
