Excel Formula for an alphanumeric text string in a cell

[xystential]

I'm not really even sure how to query this so I'll provide an example and then explain further:

JT005

JT005

BB005

BB005

BD010

These values are pulled in from an agent database. The structure is always a string of 5 characters- the first 2 are alphabetic and correspond to the person's initials and the third is a numerical differentiator for people with the same initials. So 2 people both having the initials JJ, one would be JJ0, the other JJ1. The last 2 digits correspond to commission percentages (05% or 10%). What I'm trying to do is create a formula that identifies each unique 3 letter/number identifier and then adds the last two digits for each and outputs a sum value in the same format. So, for instance, in the above scenario, the formula would see that JT0, BB0, and BD0 are unique. It would then output the sum of the last two digits of each in the same format so- JT010, BB010, and BD010. This formula would need to be robust to handle additions. By that, I mean as new 3 letter/number identifier are pulled in, the formula recognizes them and performs the operation on them.

Thanks to Anyone That Has a Solution

I am a little confused by your statement where you said "You have blocked the conversations...". When have I done that?

Rick I think that Dante meant he could not contact you via the message system, as you have it set so only certain members can start a conversation you.

Hi Rick Rothstein (Hero without cape):

You have blocked the conversations, I hope I am not inopportune, I just want to write you a few words:

I congratulate you for being one of the best experts on the forum, I really absorbed a huge amount of knowledge reviewing and analyzing your answers.
I appreciate all your interventions that you made in my answers to correct my mistakes.
This was a great experience in my life, but for personal reasons I am going to withdraw from the forum.

I wish you the best in Christmas for you and your loved ones and everyone have a great year 2021.

Receive an affectionate hug.
Dante Amor.

Oh, I didn't think of that. Yeah, you are probably right. I figured when the forum software was changed, it would allow all messages to be sent/received. I just checked and it was set to "People you follow" whatever that means. I changed it to "Members only" (only other choice was "Nobody") so I think messages can now be sent to me. Thanks for noting this as it never occurred to me the default under the new forum software would have been anything but "everybody can send a message to you". Maybe is it a good thing Dante had to use this open forum as others reading this thread (I see there was one already) will chime in and ask Dante not to leave. I really do think his offerings are valuable to the community and I would hate to see him leave.
