Excel Facts

VLOOKUP to Left?
Use =VLOOKUP(A2,CHOOSE({1,2},$Z$1:$Z$99,$Y$1:$Y$99),2,False) to lookup Y values to left of Z values.

Wow Perfect..

but how if the SITE NO. was deference, i mean not only 1111/12345/54321...

Example :

B2389/234N894/345879G/CH72/PX161 ??

You'll need to provide various samples of All possible text strings, and I'll see if I can come up with something, no guarantees.

ok noted jtakw, but maybe if with below example can be more complex...

Mr. jtakw..
It's Possible to add various below samples to Above Formula ?

I need to see various samples of the Entire String, Not just bits and pieces of it.

Without such, it's Impossible to even try to come up with a formula.
