Delete first and last item for each cell in the same column for two sheets

[abdo meghari]

Hi guys,
I would macro to delete the first and last item for each cell in column J for two sheets.
the first item always contains space after it and last item always contains space before it . also will contain many letters for first and last item.

the same thing for second sheet
thanks

 

[abdo meghari]

OMG Peter!
the code is fantastic !
I tested
1- it won't update for brand is already deleted items.
2-it updates for new brand if I want to add without repeat deleting for brand is already deleted items.
3- it's not just contains 4 parts I see to deal with 5,6,7.. parts.
just last thin may you change this line

 For Each Sh In aSheets

by using two specific sheets,please?
thank you so much.

 

[abdo meghari]

thank you so much Alex for your help & support .

 

[Alex Blakenburg]

 For Each Sh In aSheets

by using two specific sheets,please?
thank you so much.

The line For Each Sh In aSheets
Needs to be read in the context of aSheets = Split("PURCHASING|SELLING", "|")
It will only update the sheets named in this pipe delimited list and that is currently only the "two specific sheets" you have mentioned.

 

[abdo meghari]

sorry Alex I misread the whole code.
thank you so much guys.

 

[Peter_SSs]

thank you so much guys.

You're welcome. Glad it worked for you.

I did post that code in a bit of a rush and it has a couple of things in it that are not actually needed (but will not do any harm) as they were just there for me when testing the code. The cleaned up code would be:

Sub Fix_Brand()
  Dim RX As Object
  Dim a As Variant, aSheets As Variant, Sh As Variant
  Dim i As Long
  
  aSheets = Split("PURCHASING|SELLING", "|")
  Set RX = CreateObject("VBScript.RegExp")
  RX.Pattern = "(^[^0-9]+ )(.*?)( [^ ]+ ?$)"
  For Each Sh In aSheets
    With Sheets(Sh)
      With .Range("J2", .Range("J" & Rows.Count).End(xlUp))
        a = .Value
        For i = 1 To UBound(a)
          a(i, 1) = RX.Replace(a(i, 1), "$2")
        Next i
        .Value = a
      End With
    End With
  Next Sh
End Sub

Hi,Peter again
Can you modify code by deletion the whole items except the second item, please?
every cell contains three or four or five six items ....,then just keep the second item like this

Try this version.

Sub Second_Brand_Only()
  Dim aSheets As Variant, Sh As Variant
  
  aSheets = Split("PURCHASING|SELLING", "|")
  For Each Sh In aSheets
    With Sheets(Sh).Range("J2", Sheets(Sh).Range("J" & Rows.Count).End(xlUp))
      .TextToColumns DataType:=xlDelimited, ConsecutiveDelimiter:=True, Space:=True, Other:=False, _
        FieldInfo:=Array(Array(1, 9), Array(2, 1), Array(3, 9), Array(4, 9), Array(5, 9), Array(6, 9), Array(7, 9), Array(8, 9))
    End With
  Next Sh
End Sub

 

[Peter_SSs]

Another option to try would be

Sub Second_Brand_Only_v2()
  Dim aSheets As Variant, Sh As Variant
  
  aSheets = Split("PURCHASING|SELLING", "|")
  For Each Sh In aSheets
    With Sheets(Sh).Range("J2", Sheets(Sh).Range("J" & Rows.Count).End(xlUp))
      .Value = Evaluate("trim(mid(substitute(trim(" & .Address(External:=True) & "),"" "",REPT("" "",100)),100,100))")
    End With
  Next Sh
End Sub

 

[abdo meghari]

Awesome !
can you fix error in this line

.TextToColumns DataType:=xlDelimited, ConsecutiveDelimiter:=True, Space:=True, Other:=False, _
        FieldInfo:=Array(Array(1, 9), Array(2, 1), Array(3, 9), Array(4, 9), Array(5, 9), Array(6, 9), Array(7, 9), Array(8, 9))

when run the macro if there is no items except one item after running from the first time like pop msg
"there are no items to delete them" and exit sub.

 

[Peter_SSs]

Try

Sub Second_Brand_Only_v3()
  Dim aSheets As Variant, Sh As Variant
  
  aSheets = Split("PURCHASING|SELLING", "|")
  For Each Sh In aSheets
    With Sheets(Sh).Range("J2", Sheets(Sh).Range("J" & Rows.Count).End(xlUp))
      .Value = Evaluate(Replace("if(isnumber(find("" "",trim(#))),trim(mid(substitute(trim(#),"" "",REPT("" "",100)),100,100)),#)", "#", .Address(External:=True)))
    End With
  Next Sh
End Sub
