Hi everyone, I have been troubled with this task in Excel. I have a cell with unstructured IDs. They are not seperated by a delimiter, or space, and I need to pick out every instance of G-ROBOTXXXXX (G-Robot followed by 5 characters)
example:
The cells vary in length, and are all over the place. Some cells have 2 instances of G-ROBOTXXXXX, some have 5, some have none. I want to be able to pull out all the instances and keep them in seperate cells if possible. I can do this manually, but there are hundreds of rows and will take me days.
I would appreciate any help or direction from you guys.
thanks in advance!
