Hi!!
I'm trying to break up a string into sub sections. Eg 1 cat, 2 dogs, 66 chickens... So far I have managed to get the first number out, but to get the dog count and the chicken count, I am finding it much more difficult - I think I'm trying to complicate it the way I'm achieving my results. Can anyone please help me? eg. cats Dogs1 Dogs2 Chicken 1 cat, 3 dogs, 60 chickens 1 1 cat, 3 3 ? 2 cats, 22 dogs, 12 chickens 2 2 cats, 22 22 ? 3 cats, 2 dogs, 8 chickens 3 3 cats, 2 2 ? 4 cats, 21 dogs, 0 chickens 4 4 cats, 21 21 ? 5 cats, 256 dogs 5 5 cats, 256 256 ? Cats formula: =LEFT(A3,FIND(" ca",A3)-1) Dogs formula - Dogs1: =LEFT(A3,FIND(" do",A3)-1) Dogs2: =RIGHT(C3,LEN(C3)-FIND(", ",C3)-1) Chicken formula: ? Is it possible to do one formula for each column? instead of breaking it up like I have it? TIA Lauren (sorry if my columns don't come out in columns...) |
