On Column B I have list of different types of descriptions and on column C , D & E I wanted few details from column B (descriptions) as per below example. So where ever the description starts with intelnumr I need a VBA code to pick below details as per below example. For the ones which does not start intelnumbr it should be blank on column C, D & E.
And on column C, D & E if it is already updated with any value VBA code should skip that line and fill only for blank cells on column C,D & E.


[TABLE="width: 0"]
<tbody>[TR]
[TD]Column B
[/TD]
[TD]Column C
[/TD]
[TD]Column D
[/TD]
[TD]Column E
[/TD]

</tbody>[/TABLE]

Below are few lines which I have.
When the VBA is executed check for intelnumr on descriptions and update required value on column C,D& E if these columns already have a value inputted it should ignore and go to next line. And this data will increase everyday

You didn't fully answer..
1. ... can you guarantee that there isn't more than one 9-digit number in the original cell?


3. Is the number to go into column E always the last thing in the cell? ............... (& the only 6 digit number in the cell)?

Excel Facts

What did Pito Salas invent?
Pito Salas, working for Lotus, popularized what would become to be pivot tables. It was released as Lotus Improv in 1989.
Hi Sir,

1. ... can you guarantee that there isn't more than one 9-digit number in the original cell? - yes confirm it will always be 9 digit number on original cell


3. Is the number to go into column E always the last thing in the cell? ............... (& the only6 digit number in the cell)? - on column E it will be ending with last 6 digit number

- yes confirm it will always be 9 digit number on original cell
That seems to be still telling me that it will be a 9-digit number. It doesn't seem to be telling me if there could be other 9-digit numbers in the same cell. Like this, for example

intelnumr ID G32164317 - AB ver 569865489 ex 2.652 SV 0.65 - 052289169 - TILDA BASMATIwir - 201652

Perhaps you missed post #6 - some of the data has no "-" at all before the number to be extracted, :)
Yes, I missed. :laugh:

This should cover this case, also:
Code:
Sub splitData()
    Application.ScreenUpdating = False
    Dim LastRow As Long
    LastRow = Cells.Find("*", SearchOrder:=xlByRows, SearchDirection:=xlPrevious).Row
    Dim rng As Range
    Dim splitRng As Variant
    For Each rng In Range("B1:B" & LastRow)
        If Left(rng, 12) = "intelnumr ID" And WorksheetFunction.CountA(Range("C" & rng.Row & ":E" & rng.Row)) <> 3 Then
            splitRng = Split(rng, " - ")
            Range("C" & rng.Row) = Mid(rng, 14, 9)
            If Not IsNumeric(splitRng(2)) Then
                Range("D" & rng.Row) = Right$(splitRng(1), 9)
            Else
                Range("D" & rng.Row) = splitRng(2)
            End If
            Range("E" & rng.Row) = Right(rng, 6)
        End If
    Next rng
    Application.ScreenUpdating = True
End Sub

However, exceluser9 should be public a file with all cases.

Hi,

In the same cell there is only one 9 digit number like below. there wil not be another 9 digit number like you mentioned above.
intelnumr ID G32164317 - AB ver 569865489 ex 2.652 SV 0.65 - TILDA BASMATIwir - 201652

Hi Gibra,

the below code work fine with out any issue thank you very much:)

Thank Every one who helped me on this

Sub splitData()
Application.ScreenUpdating = False
Dim LastRow As Long
LastRow = Cells.Find("*", SearchOrder:=xlByRows, SearchDirection:=xlPrevious).Row
Dim rng As Range
Dim splitRng As Variant
For Each rng In Range("B1:B" & LastRow)
If Left(rng, 12) = "intelnumr ID" And WorksheetFunction.CountA(Range("C" & rng.Row & ":E" & rng.Row)) <> 3 Then
splitRng = Split(rng, " - ")
Range("C" & rng.Row) = Mid(rng, 14, 9)
If Not IsNumeric(splitRng(2)) Then
Range("D" & rng.Row) = Right$(splitRng(1), 9)
Else
Range("D" & rng.Row) = splitRng(2)
End If
Range("E" & rng.Row) = Right(rng, 6)
End If
Next rng
Application.ScreenUpdating = True
End Sub

For the record, or in case you are interested, this would be my variation, avoiding splits altogether.

Rich (BB code):
Sub Split_Data()
  Dim c As Range

  Application.ScreenUpdating = False
    For Each c In Range("B1", Range("B" & Rows.Count).End(xlUp))
        If Left(LCase(c.Value), 12) = "intelnumr id" Then
          If c.Resize(, 4).SpecialCells(xlConstants).Cells.Count < 4 Then
            c.Offset(, 1).Value = Mid(c.Value, 14, 9)
            c.Offset(, 2).Value = Right(Left(c.Value, InStrRev(c.Value, " - ", Len(c.Value) - 10)), 9)
            c.Offset(, 3).Value = Right(c.Value, 6)
          End If
        End If
    Next c
  Application.ScreenUpdating = True
End Sub


Again, in case you are interested, all the red lines below in gibra's code I believe could be replaced by this single line
Rich (BB code):
Range("D" & rng.Row) = Right$(splitRng(UBound(splitRng) - 2), 9)
Code:
Sub splitData()
    Application.ScreenUpdating = False
    Dim LastRow As Long
    LastRow = Cells.Find("*", SearchOrder:=xlByRows, SearchDirection:=xlPrevious).Row
    Dim rng As Range
    Dim splitRng As Variant
    For Each rng In Range("B1:B" & LastRow)
        If Left(rng, 12) = "intelnumr ID" And WorksheetFunction.CountA(Range("C" & rng.Row & ":E" & rng.Row)) <> 3 Then
            splitRng = Split(rng, " - ")
            Range("C" & rng.Row) = Mid(rng, 14, 9)
           [COLOR="#FF0000"][B] If Not IsNumeric(splitRng(2)) Then
                Range("D" & rng.Row) = Right$(splitRng(1), 9)
            Else
                Range("D" & rng.Row) = splitRng(2)
            End If[/B][/COLOR]
            Range("E" & rng.Row) = Right(rng, 6)
        End If
    Next rng
    Application.ScreenUpdating = True
End Sub

Hi Peter,

Thank you very much, actually i got stuck again with Gibra 's code which is if there is no 8 digit number on the main description the macro stops but the code which you gave it work fine but if there is not 8 digit number in middle of descriptions it pick the 8 digit number from beinging example below. it pick the first one 32276083.

can it not be blank if there is no 8digit number in the middle ?


intelnumr ID G32276083 - PGTGKS 3-STEP MGDRGS MEGL 2.79>2 SV 0.79 PGTGKS MEGL KIT MGDRGS 303G - 201731

... if there is no 8 digit number on the main description ....
Hmm, do you remember me posting..

We really need to know all the variations if a suitable solution is to be found without wasting a lot of time developing suggestions that later turn out to be no good. ;)
So here we are, after a day and a half and nearly 20 posts, including nearly 40 examples of text starting with "intelnumr ID", all of which were followed by the letter "G" and then 8 digits. Only now we learn that other things can happen. :(

Please show us a good representative variety of what can occur after the "intelnumr ID" and explain what the expected results are for each.

Hi Peter
Thanks so much for your help and sry if I'm troubling.

Your code looks fine and it works as expected but only challenge is if 9 digit number isn't available in the cell it picks G32276083 which has the number which has a alphabet and it will start with G and it should remain blank in this case. There can be only one 9 digit number in a cell.

Please could you help
