You'll notice the last 3 entries in the data set begin with "006", however, the alphabetic characters are at the end of the string. This poses a new question, I can account for the what the string begins with and what the string ends with, but I'm stuck on how to write the code to pull the information in-between. Below my "non-working" code is in as I have attempted to create a rule that accounts for these random outliers.

I need the 8 numeric values in-between... between the "006" & the "MSP","ATL", etc.

Select Case True
Case Left(mycell.Value, 3) = "006"
If IsNumeric(Right(mycell.Value, 8)) Then
mycell.Offset(, 16).Value = Right(mycell.Value, 8)
End If
Case Left(mycell.Value, 2) = "06"
If IsNumeric(Right(mycell.Value, 8)) Then
mycell.Offset(, 16).Value = Right(mycell.Value, 8)
Case Left(mycell.Value, 3) = "006"
If Not IsNumeric(Right(mycell.Value, 8)) Then
mycell.Value = Mid(mycell.Value, 3, 8)
End If
End Select


Ideas?

Will the fill handle fill 1, 2, 3?
Yes! Type 1 in a cell. Hold down Ctrl while you drag the fill handle.

I apologize. I looked for a "Delete thread Topic" button but I could not locate one. I wanted to delete this, but was (and still am) unaware of how.

Thanks. Won't happen again.
