Alright Excel friends, I had a problem that was solved that has just grown once more. I need to find and extract multiple strings from a text field. These strings consist of two letters followed by three numbers and possibly an extra letter. It could be XX000 or XX000X (e.g. AB123 or BA123Z). There are hundreds (thousands?) of rows of data I need to grab these strings from.

The current array formula I'm using (provided by a member here) is:
=IF(ISBLANK(S3),MID(R3,MATCH(TRUE,ISNUMBER(1*MID(R3,ROW(INDIRECT("1:"&LEN(Q3))),1)),0)-2,5),S3)


Sample data below:

[TABLE="class: cms_table, width: 500"]
<tbody>[TR]
[TD]Created[/TD]
[TD]Comment[/TD]
[TD]Desired Extraction[/TD]

[TD]6/3/2013[/TD]

[TD]MF055 AND AP162 AND BA223X[/TD]
[/TR]

[TD]More Text Before Numbers MT323 and this one is going to be really long to prove a point. :wink:[/TD]
[TD]MT323[/TD]
[/TR]
</tbody>[/TABLE]

Any ideas?

My original thread is here: http://www.mrexcel.com/forum/excel-...action-without-visual-basic-applications.html

Thanks to everyone who checks this out! :)

First of all, you guys are awesome. I really appreciate the help with this! My title may be a bit misleading. I'm trying to avoid the use of VBA, but it's not a dealbreaker if I need to use it. Also, a note on the text strings: the only format I'm finding is XX000 and/or XX000X. The formula or macro should ideally not extract strings that don't match exactly. For example, if there's also a string in there that says "CARS123456" I don't want it to extract "RS123" -- it's not the string I'm looking for.

Matt: Your solution is good. As I'm receiving more data, I'm noticing that the text strings (XX000) are not limited to a maximum of three. The comment field can have none, 1-3, or even more stuck in there. Your solution can scale to more (I'll just need to nest the formula in adjacent columns), but it may get messy.

Pup: Your formula that built on Matt's returns 3 copies of the first string in the cell. Not sure what I'm doing wrong.

Rick: Your solution is great! Unfortunately I'm getting a Subscript out of Range error when I run it on the line "NextAND = 1 + Len(ANDS(0))".

As far as the output goes, in retrospect rather than a bold "AND" (which seems silly to me now) it might be best to use a semicolon as the delimiter between extracted strings.

Again, thank you all for your help!

HI
With regards to the different errors, your receiving, is it possible to paste a large data sample, in that way we can probably sort out the issues between us 25 lines or so, or even upload a spreadsheet to dropbox (its free and paste the link like I did), for us to work from, I think I speak for all of us, we like to help and may well all have different approachs to your request, but I'm 99% confident that you will get a solution

...duh. Sorry, it's been a busy morning and I haven't had enough coffee!

That's getting closer! I love that it's a formula-based solution too and I can scale it to multiple columns. It is, however, extracting a lot of extraneous information that doesn't match the XX000 / XX000X string. Here's some sample data along with the results from your formula:

Jawnathin,

I'm sorry, but it's too complex (for me)
Too many numbers ...

:oops:

Good luck and all the best !

Rick: Your solution is great! Unfortunately I'm getting a Subscript out of Range error when I run it on the line "NextAND = 1 + Len(ANDS(0))".
Click to expand...
That is probably because your data is not in the cell range I assumed it would be in (you did not tell us where it is in your original message). So, where is your data... what column are they in and what row contains your first piece of data (I'll modify the code to adjust around it)?
