I was provided with this formula by a kind user by the name of jtakw:
=IF(ISNUMBER(RIGHT(F2,4)+0),RIGHT(F2,4)+0,"")

It separates postcodes in the same cells as city names into their own cells. Some of my records' postcodes also fall within columns E or G. How can I add these so they are included along with Column F?

Thanks in advance for advice.

How to change case of text in Excel?
Use =UPPER() for upper case, =LOWER() for lower case, and =PROPER() for proper case. PROPER won't capitalize second c in Mccartney
As long as only one cell has postcodes this will work

=IF(ISNUMBER(RIGHT(E2,4)+0),RIGHT(E2,4)+0,IF(ISNUMBER(RIGHT(F2,4)+0),RIGHT(F2,4)+0,IF(ISNUMBER(RIGHT(G2,4)+0),RIGHT(G2,4)+0,"")))

But keep in mind that once it finds a post code , it stops looking. So think about the order of precedence you want. In the formula above, it's Col E,F,G

Thank you so much. Yes, each row will only have a postcode in one cell so this would be perfect. I've finished for the day now but will give this a run tomorrow. Thanks again.

Hi MsCynic,

Didn't know you needed more columns checked, you never posted any follow up to your other thread.
Base on you original sample, you can do this:


Book1
EFGHI
2#### Papamoa Beach RoadPapamoa 31183118
3Papamoa Village Park###### Parton RoadPapamoa 31183118
4Bayswater Village###### Maranui StreetMount Maunganui 31163116

RangeFormula
I2=IFERROR(RIGHT(E2,4)+0,IFERROR(RIGHT(F2,4)+0,IFERROR(RIGHT(G2,4)+0,"")))


I2 formula copied down.

Thanks :) I thought I had posted a follow up question but when I went back to check it was not there. I wasn't sure if you were still around which is why I created a new thread - sorry for any confusion.
