Hello guys,

now I would need some helping hands with following UDF.

Code: 
Function ReNrAendern(ByVal strText As String) As String
    Dim strOld(0 To 11) As Variant
    Dim strNew As String
    
    Dim i As Integer
    
    strOld(0) = "RE "
    strOld(1) = "RE. "
    strOld(2) = "RE: "
    strOld(3) = "Re "
    strOld(4) = "Re. "
    strOld(5) = "Re: "
    strOld(6) = "Rg "
    strOld(7) = "Rg. "
    strOld(8) = "Rg: "
    strOld(9) = "RG "
    strOld(10) = "RG. "
    strOld(11) = "RG: "

    strNew = "RNR. "
    
    For i = LBound(strOld) To UBound(strOld)
        strText = Replace(strText, strOld(i), strNew)
    Next i
    
    ReNrAendern = strText
End Function

So how can I test this code, what strOld array is used when I step through the code using F8

The reason behind this is that mostly the function replace how it intend to but with one case it replace the strText not the way I want it.
So I was trying to step through the code but not really find what array is used if the strText contains one of the strOld within the strText.

Hope I did explain this good enough and someone can give me a hint on that.

I guess it should be a watch added or? But with the watch I still was not sure how to find when it was driggert.
Or how to look for it correctly.

Many thanks

About R2012 that can not be fixed with the array or?

Will the R2012 (I presume the 2012 part can change) always appear at the end of the text like your examples show?

Press Ctrl+` to show all formulas. Press it again to toggle back to numbers. The grave accent is often under the tilde on US keyboards.
Sorry guys I was not at the computer today so I will need to look into that and give you proper answers hopefully tomorrow.
Just wanted to let you know.
Many thanks

Try
Code: 
For i = LBound(strOld) to Ubound(StrOld)-1
    strText = Replace(strText, strOld(i), strOld(Ubound(strOld))
Next i

StrText = Replace(strText, strOld(UBound(strOld), strNew)

Hi, @mikerickson thank you also for your reply.

For i = LBound(strOld) to Ubound(StrOld)-1
strText = Replace(strText, strOld(i), strOld(Ubound(strOld))
Next i

StrText = Replace(strText, strOld(UBound(strOld), strNew)
Click to expand...

with this code it gives me a syntax error on both lines so I changed it to

Code: 
    For i = LBound(strOld) To UBound(strOld) - 1
    strText = Replace(strText, strOld(i), strOld(UBound(strOld))[COLOR=#ff0000])[/COLOR]
    Next i
that part should be right like that

but on this line

Code: 
strText = Replace(strText, [COLOR=#ff0000]strOld[/COLOR](UBound(strOld), strNew))

wront number of arguments or something like that..

so I did try to change it but no luck getting it right.

How would that need to be changed ?

Yes those numbers are Invoice Numbers and I like to get those Invoice Numbers out of the text so I can track which Invoice has been paid.

And customers always write those number in different format which makes things a little difficult.
That's why I like to change all those Invoce prefixes to a standart one so I can then extract those numbers easily to a different column.

Many thanks to all who are helping me to achive this :)

If I am not mistaken (and I do not believe I am), the above function can be replaced by this one (which also handles your R1234 problem as well)...
Code: 
[table="width: 500"]
[tr]
	[td]Function ReNrAendern(ByVal strText As String) As String
  Dim X As Long, Original As Variant, Replacement As Variant, Parts() As String
  Original = Array(".", ":", "/", "###", " : ", "RE NR")
  Replacement = Array(". ", ": ", "/ ", "### ", ": ", "RENR")
  For X = LBound(Original) To UBound(Original)
    strText = Application.Trim(Replace(strText, Original(X), Replacement(X), , , vbTextCompare))
  Next
  Parts = Split(strText)
  If Parts(UBound(Parts)) Like "*[A-Za-z]*#" Then
    For X = Len(Parts(UBound(Parts))) To 1 Step -1
      If Mid(Parts(UBound(Parts)), X, 1) Like "[!0-9]" Then Parts(UBound(Parts)) = "RNR " & Mid(Parts(UBound(Parts)), X + 1)
    Next
  Else
    If LCase(Parts(UBound(Parts) - 2)) & LCase(Parts(UBound(Parts) - 1)) Like "rechnungs*nr*" Then
      Parts(UBound(Parts) - 2) = ""
    End If
    Parts(UBound(Parts) - 1) = "RNR."
  End If
  ReNrAendern = Application.Trim(Join(Parts))
End Function[/td]
[/tr]
[/table]

Hi Rick,
many thanks for your reply..

Unless I did not make a mistake with the code there is a bug in this line
Code: 
    If LCase(Parts(UBound(Parts) - 2)) & LCase(Parts(UBound(Parts) - 1)) Like "rechnungs*nr*" Then

Index out of range or something like that

Thanks

Show me the text that was passed into the function when that error occurred.

Hi Rick,

"Privatentnahme"

So basically when there is no ReNrAendern..

I guess it will be with all text in that column if there is no ReNr

"Privatentnahme" is the entire text in the cell? If yes, does that mean you have cells without a RNR number in them (at the end of the text)?

yes that is right.

Not even at the end only the Number can be in between the text too.
