Extract specific value using SEARCH FORMULA
 

Hi,

Below is text and underneath is a formula to extract a number (53625) from
Text after "PMT DET". Since this number is broken down between two rows, it
is not extracting the value as desire and gives "#value! error. How can fix
the formula?

thanks in advance.

If the length of the text will be less than 256 characters, you could download
and install Longre's free and easily distributable morefunc.xll add-in from
http://xcell05.free.fr

and then use this Regular Expression formula:

=IF(REGEX.COMP(A1,"WIRE TYPE:WIRE"),
REGEX.SUBSTITUTE(REGEX.MID(A1,"(?<=PMT DET:)[\d\n]+"),"\n"),"")

If your text string might be longer than 255 characters, then you can use this
VBA UDF.

To enter the UDF, <alt-F11 opens the VB Editor.
Ensure your project is highlighted in the Project Explorer window, then
Insert/Module and paste the code below into the window that opens.

To use the UDF, in some cell enter the formula:

=PMTDET(cell_ref,"WIRE TYPE:WIRE")

The formula will return the number that exists after the string "PMT DET:" and
ignore any "new line" characters.

If your format is different, the regex might need to be changed a bit to
accomodate.

--------------------------------------------------
Option Explicit

Function PMTDET(str As String, RecType As String) As String
Dim objRegExp As Object
Set objRegExp = CreateObject("VBScript.RegExp")

Dim colMatches As Object
Const sPattern As String = "(PMT DET:)([\d\n]+)"

With objRegExp
.IgnoreCase = False
.Global = True
.Pattern = RecType

If .Test(str) = True Then
.Pattern = sPattern
If .Test(str) = True Then
Set colMatches = .Execute(str)
PMTDET = colMatches(0).submatches(1)
PMTDET = Replace(PMTDET, Chr(10), "")
End If
End If

End With

End Function
