I am trying to extract a character + number combination then turn it into a date.
For example: aa23 = 1/23/2001.
The difficult part is my data is sometimes presented as 11aa23y or LYAA23. The key pattern is always 2 letters followed by 2 numbers. I need to extract that, then convert it using a lookup.
I have searched and searched. I have a lot of experience with excel, but not too in depth so I may not be using the correct terminology in my search.
Any help is appreciated.
