Return an Alpha based on number position in a word
I would like to return 4 letters in a word based on their number position in
the word. In B2:B366 I have DDMM and in C1 I have a 10 letter word ABCDEFGHIJ, where A = 1 and J = 10. In C2:C366 I would like to return the 4 letters from C1 that correspond to the numbers in B2:B366. Can I do this with a formula? If so, what would this formula look like? B1 = DDMM B2 = 0104 B3 = 0204 B4 = 0304 B5 = ..... C1 = ABCDEFGHIJ C2 = JAJD C3 = JBJD C4 = JCJD C5 = ..... Thx, Don |

Maybe...
C2, copied down: =MID("J"&$C$1,MID(B2,1,1)+1,1)&MID("J"&$C$1,MID(B2 ,2,1)+1,1)&MID("J"&$C$1 ,MID(B2,3,1)+1,1)&MID("J"&$C$1,MID(B2,4,1)+1,1) Hope this helps!

Maybe something like this:
C2: =MID($C$1,IF(--MID(B2,1,1)0,MID(B2,1,1),10),1)&MID($C$1,IF(--MID(B2,2,1)0,MID(B2,2,1),10),1)&MID($C$1,IF(--MID(B2,3,1)0,MID(B2,3,1),10),1)&MID($C$1,IF(--MID(B2,4,1)0,MID(B2,4,1),10),1) Note, though....if you move the "J" in C1 the beginning: C1: JABCDEFGHI Then C2 reduces to this: C2: =MID($C$1,--MID(B2,1,1)+1,1)&MID($C$1,--MID(B2,2,1)+1,1)&MID($C$1,--MID(B2,3,1)+1,1)&MID($C$1,--MID(B2,4,1)+1,1) Does that help? *********** Regards, Ron XL2002, WinXP-Pro "Don Anderson" wrote: I would like to return 4 letters in a word based on their number position in the word.

Just to add to Domenic's fine suggestion, if Column B is *true* XL dates,
formatted as 'ddmm', then you might try this: =MID("J"&$C$1,MID(TEXT(A2,"ddmm"),1,1)+1,1)&MID("J "&$C$1,MID(TEXT(A2,"ddmm") ,2,1)+1,1)&MID("J"&$C$1,MID(TEXT(A2,"ddmm"),3,1)+1 ,1)&MID("J"&$C$1,MID(TEXT( A2,"ddmm"),4,1)+1,1) -- HTH, RD --------------------------------------------------------------------------- Please keep all correspondence within the NewsGroup, so all may benefit ! --------------------------------------------------------------------------- "Domenic" wrote in message ...

Actually, if the "J" is moved to the beginning of the string in C1, the
formula can shrink even more, because the double minus signs are not necessary: Instead of (112 characters): C2: =MID($C$1,--MID(B2,1,1)+1,1)&MID($C$1,--MID(B2,2,1)+1,1)&MID($C$1,--MID(B2,3,1)+1,1)&MID($C$1,--MID(B2,4,1)+1,1) it could be this (104 characters): C2: =MID($C$1,MID(B2,1,1)+1,1)&MID($C$1,MID(B2,2,1)+1, 1)&MID($C$1,MID(B2,3,1)+1,1)&MID($C$1,MID(B2,4,1)+ 1,1) Does that help? *********** Regards, Ron XL2002, WinXP-Pro "Ron Coderre" wrote: Maybe something like this: C2: =MID($C$1,IF(--MID(B2,1,1)0,MID(B2,1,1),10),1)&MID($C$1,IF(--MID(B2,2,1)0,MID(B2,2,1),10),1)&MID($C$1,IF(--MID(B2,3,1)0,MID(B2,3,1),10),1)&MID($C$1,IF(--MID(B2,4,1)0,MID(B2,4,1),10),1) Note, though....if you move the "J" in C1 the beginning: C1: JABCDEFGHI Then C2 reduces to this: C2: =MID($C$1,--MID(B2,1,1)+1,1)&MID($C$1,--MID(B2,2,1)+1,1)&MID($C$1,--MID(B2,3,1)+1,1)&MID($C$1,--MID(B2,4,1)+1,1) Does that help? *********** Regards, Ron XL2002, WinXP-Pro "Don Anderson" wrote: I would like to return 4 letters in a word based on their number position in the word.

Sorry Don! I didn't realize that Column B contained true date values.
But I see RagDyer has modified the formula accordingly. Thanks RagDyer! :) Cheers! In article , "Don Anderson" wrote: Domenic, Unless I'm missing something.... C2=CHHJ C3=CHHJ C4=CHHA C5=CHHA Not... C2 = JAJD C3 = JBJD C4 = JCJD C5 = JDJD Thanks for your reply, Don |

Ragdyer,
That worked perfectly, since I did have B2:B366 formatted for a 'true' DDMM. Thank you, Don "Ragdyer" wrote in message ...

Domenic,
With Ragdyer's slight modification to your original formula, it worked perfectly. I should have been more clear that it was truely xl date format. As a test,I changed the ddmm to text and your solution worked as expected. Thanks for your help Don "Domenic" wrote in message ... Maybe...
