I want to organize my Tech Doc by Subject and Post Date.
I am looking to extract the Last post date, but I cannot really use the right() function due to the date variable length. I need to create a loop thru all rows in Column A, FIND "Last post:", skip one character and copy the next 12 characters for the Last post date in Column B Column A contains one string of variable length. Post header text.... - 5 posts - 2 authors - Last post: Nov 21, 2008 Post Header text.... - 2 posts - 2 authors - Last post: Nov 25 ....... Sub PostDate() Set Sht =Sheets("Sheet1") Dim X as Long Dim LastRow as Long LastRow = sht.Cells(sht.Rows.Count,1).End(XlUp).Row For X = 1 to LastRow Cells(X,2).text = MID(FIND("Last post:",.....,12) ??? 'I need this syntax formatted as Date yyyy/mm/dd for sorting purpose. Next End Sub Help appreciated, J.P. |
