Hi, i need to extract a group of text from a cell, and sum them together. before i begin, i would like to clrify that, I am not an Excel pro user like accountant. I'm using it as a data link between AUTOCAD and EXCEL. so, please bear with me.
A B c
1 YES 1800/ 900/ 1200 X 500 3900
2 NO 600/ 100/ 300/ 20 X 15 0
YES and NO is in column A (row 1 and 2 respectively). while the number is in column B. and the sum will appear in column C next to each row. i'm looking for a formula to extract 1800, 900, and 1200 to sum it up into 3900 (1800+900+1200), and it only extract and sum it when the column A says "YES", and will not do the sum when A says "NO".
sorry, the sample text arrangement went wrong.
ignore the A,B,C above the sample and 1,2 on the left
Hi!
You can extract numbers from text using substring functions with these formulas:
=--LEFT(B1,SEARCH("/",B1)-1)
=--MID(B1,SEARCH("/",B1)+1,SEARCH("/",B1,SEARCH("/",B1)+1)-1-SEARCH("/",B1))
=--MID(B1,SEARCH("/",B1,SEARCH("/",B1)+1)+1,SEARCH("X",B1)-1-SEARCH("/",B1,SEARCH("/",B1)+1))
Write the condition using the IF function:
=IF(A1="YES",=--LEFT(B1,SEARCH("/",B1)-1),"")
General formula for three numbers with condition:
=IF(A1="YES",LEFT(B1,SEARCH("/",B1)-1)+ MID(B1,SEARCH("/",B1)+1, SEARCH("/",B1,SEARCH("/",B1)+1)-1-SEARCH("/",B1))+ MID(B1,SEARCH("/",B1,SEARCH("/",B1)+1)+1, SEARCH("X",B1)-1- SEARCH("/",B1,SEARCH("/",B1)+1)),"")
i see. Thanks for your help. i will need some times to explore what you shared with me. looking at the formula you gave, is killing my brain. lol. will get back to you how it goes.
Thanks again for sharing
sorry, the sample text arrangement went wrong.
YES 1800/ 900/ 1200 X 500 = 3900
NO 600/ 100/ 300/ 20 X 15 = 0
Hey i have some problem.
My job is to extract number from a cell. A cell has 4 digits of randomly generated number (ABCD). So i want to automatically extract number A into one cell, B into one cell and the rest. and sometimes i need to extract 2 number from the same cell. is there a clean way to do it?
Hi!
To extract the first digit from a number, use the LEFT function.
LEFT(A1,1)
To extract the second digit use the MID function.
MID(A1,2,1)
Also, use MID to extract the third and all other digits.
MID(A1,3,20)
Look for the example formulas here: Excel substring functions to extract text from cell.
These functions extract a digits as text. To convert it to a number, use these guidelines: Turn text into number with mathematic operations.
I hope it’ll be helpful.
Hi I hope you could help me!
I have some prices i need to extract...
?XIAOMI?
?Redmi 9A 32GB/2R 399.900 A,G??
?Redmi 10 64GB 744.900 B??
?Redmi 10 128GB 839.900 G??
?Poco X3 128GB/8R 949.900 G,A ??
?Poco X3 Pro 128GB/6R 909.900 N??
My question is... Is there a clean and simple way to only obtain the prices from this cellphones For example telling a formula to look for more than 4 consecutive numbers and extract them.
Look at this...
Redmi 9A 32GB/2R 399.900 A,G??
When I use a formula to look for only numbers it extracts 9322399900
I need something capable of skiping small number secuences and search for numbers bigger than (9A) (32GB) (2R) in this case 399000
I know that I can search for common characters like ($) $399000 to use text to columns.
But I have a wide range of providers that dont use any particular sign for me to use.
Hello Simon,
The only solution I can think of is using regular expressions. For this, you will need to add a custom RegExpExtract function to your workbook - the code and the detailed instructions are on the above-linked page.
As for the regex pattern, I don't think searching for 4 consecutive numbers will work in your case, because the prices in your sample strings have a thousands separator (period). So, you can use the below regex to match a substring consisting of 1-3 digits, followed by a period (.), followed by 3 digits.
Pattern: \b\d{1,3}\.\d{3}\b
The above pattern will work for numbers ranging from 1.000 to 999.999. If your real dataset has a wider range of numbers, you'll have to adjust the pattern.
Thanks a lot I have never heard of that so I will study about regex and tell you how it goes for me.
It worked perfectly. Could you please help me adjust the pattern for millions. I tried to interpret your formula but i couldn´t understand which is the key to increment to millions
I got some examples

There are like 15 stores sending prices over WhatsApp I would love to understand how to adjust the pattern in the most efficient way. I don´t have any problem cleaning the data before using the Regex Formula. I mean replacing... ( . , ’ ) all the characters between my prices.
Hello!
Try a regular expression like this:
(\d+.\d+.\d+)(?!.*\d)
Hope this is what you need.
Hello!
To extract a group of numbers from a text, I recommend using a regular expression. You can find the examples and detailed instructions here: How to extract substrings in Excel using regular expressions.
Try this regex: "(\d+.\d+)(?!.*\d)"
I hope I answered your question. If something is still unclear, please feel free to ask.
Thanks a lot I have never heard of that so I will study about regex and tell you how it goes for me.
Thanks a lot. Both of your formulas worked great. Its amazing. I post some examples to Svetlana
Because some of my prices are in Millions and i was not able to interpret the formula to make it take into account bigger numbers. My knowledge of excel and english is very limited but I´m thankfull of your help. I´ve been doing this process the large way for about 2 years.
I could clean all of my data to have numbers without any signs. Example:
iPhone 13 128GB 5000000
iPhone 13 Pro 246GB 4500000
iPhone 12 Pro Max 512GB 3650000
Thanks in advance to all of you for your great work!
Hi Simon,
In case your prices have various delimiters like in the sample below, then cleaning the data before using the Regex formula is indeed the most effective way. As you said, first you remove all the characters between the prices (. , ’ ). And then, extract a number containing 4 or more digits using this simple regex:
\d{4,}

Hi!
Read the first paragraph of this article carefully. There is an answer to your question.
How to match the last five numbers of the 10 figure number or string
Hello!
To get the last 5 numbers, use the RIGHT function as described in this article.
I'm trying to extract number and the text attached to it, lets say I have a list of items with different sizes as 200ml & 300ml, I want to extract 200ml 300ml from the cell, and also remove it from the source cell, is there any way with or without your tool to do this?
Thank you very much!
Hi!
I cannot guess what is written in your data. Therefore, I can not offer a solution. Use the SEARCH function to find values.
Perhaps something like this:
=IF(ISNUMBER(SEARCH("200ml",A1)),"200ml","")
You can only remove some of the text from a cell using a VBA macro.
What went wrong here?

Hi!
I can't guess what your problem is.
ROW(INDIRECT( "1:"&LEN(A2)+1)) seems to not be evaluating to a sequence, just the number 1 (1.00 to be precise). But I don't know why. On another machine, this formula worked.
Hi!
See the difference between Excel versions and program settings.
I would like to make a formula that can Extract the individual numbers from the example below. The numbers will change on either side of the x. My goal is to extract the single digits and place them in their own sell. The example below will be located in one cell group together again the digits will change depending on information.
Example one .75 x 2 x 31
Example two. 4 x 89 x 107
.75 x 2 x 31 >>>> 0.75 2 31
4 x 89 x 107 >>>> 4 89 107
Replace (SpaceXSpace) with (Single ot Multiple Space/s).
Hello!
You must split the text string at the "x" delimiter. Read the guidelines in this article.
I Textjoin row of cells. Only one contains date and time. Other cells, if NOT blank, contains text including numbers NOT dates.
Textjoin works but date and time is now in serial format.
How to convert that serial format within the Textjoin Output back to date and time?

Hi, I'm amazed by Sir Alexander's superb excel skills. I'm just trying out my luck here hopefully sir can solve my problem. I would like to extract only the number '5' and '21'. I wonder it is possible. Thank you.
Hello!
Press CTRL + H. In the "Find what" field, write (*). Do not write anything in the "Replace with" field. Click "Replace".
Then use the formula from this article and comments. For example:
=TEXTJOIN("",TRUE,IFERROR(MID(A2,ROW(INDIRECT("1:"&LEN(A2))),1)*1,""))
I hope I answered your question.
Hi,
I have a spreadsheet of thousands in the following format
1. zvsnsnshs 2020DDE542134
2. sgenemene2020SHB6721
3. reenmennee 2020RTY409
I want to extract 2020DDE542134 in 1, 2020SHB6721 in 2 and 2020RTY409 in 3
2020 is followed by three letters but the number of digits thereafter vary.
Please assist.
Hello!
The formula below will do the trick for you:
=MID(A1,SEARCH("2020",A1,1),100)
I hope it’ll be helpful.
Thank you for this amazing formula!
=SUMPRODUCT(MID(0&A2, LARGE(INDEX(ISNUMBER(--MID(A2, ROW(INDIRECT("1:"&LEN(A2))), 1)) * ROW(INDIRECT("1:"&LEN(A2))), 0), ROW(INDIRECT("1:"&LEN(A2))))+1, 1) * 10^ROW(INDIRECT("1:"&LEN(A2)))/10)
It works almost perfectly, however I would like to separate the different number sets with a space.
e.g.
returned value with formula: 5468751013
desired return value: 546875 1 0 13 (number sets vary)
Regards
Donald
Hello!
If you want to extract groups of numbers from the text and separate them with a space, use this formula:
=SUBSTITUTE(TRIM(CONCAT(IF(ISNUMBER(--MID(A2,ROW($1:$94),1)),MID(A2,ROW($1:$94),1)," ")))," "," ")
Hope this is what you need.
Wow! That worked perfectly!
Greatly appreciate this support!
BR_GID/908764_JK2

Hi,
I have a spreadsheet of a couple of thousand lot plans in the format of
103SP122202
10SP133260
1RP43701
They are always numbers followed by letters followed by numbers.
I am looking for a formula to return all the numbers before the first letter and place in a column
103
10
1
Then a formula to return all the letters, and the numbers after the letters to place in another column
SP122202
SP133260
1RP43701
how would i achieve this?
Hello!
Write your value in cell A1. To extract the text, write the formula in B1.
=SUBSTITUTE((CONCAT(IF(NOT(ISNUMBER(--MID(A1,ROW($1:$94),1))), MID(A1,ROW($1:$94),1),"")))," ","")
To extract the first number, write the formula in C1.
=LEFT(A1,SEARCH(B1,A1,1)-1)
To extract the second number, write the formula in D1.
=RIGHT(A1,LEN(A1)-SEARCH(B1,A1,1)-1)
I hope I answered your question. If something is still unclear, please feel free to ask.
Hi Alexander,
Thank you very much for replying with a solution, it works very well.
Is it possible to alter =RIGHT(A1,LEN(A1)-SEARCH(B1,A1,1)-1) to keep SP122202 together in a cell and not separated?
Regards
Andrew
Hi,
Please try the following formula:
=B1&RIGHT(A1,LEN(A1)-SEARCH(B1,A1,1)-1)
or
=RIGHT(A1,LEN(A1)-SEARCH(B1,A1,1)+1)
Hi,
The second formula worked perfectly,
Thank you very much.

Hi Team,
I want below number to be extract from below given sentence.
Q. 1 : "GL CASH DIPOSITED DONE BY ONE DATE IS 05/10/2020 02771600241 [AccountID: 123456767"
I want the answer should be "02771600241"
Q2: CASH DEPOSITED IN TRANSACTION ID - 02801900536 [AccountID: 1257895333 Account Name: Cas
I want the answer should be " 02801900536 "
Hi,
If I got you right, the formula below will help you with your task:
=TRIM(RIGHT(SUBSTITUTE(TRIM(RIGHT(SUBSTITUTE(LEFT(A1,SEARCH(" [",A1,1)),"-",REPT(" ",20)),20))," ",REPT(" ",20)),20))
What if I have multiple potential phone numbers in a free-form field and want them to extract, but be separated by a delimiter? Working from a DB extract where the most useful phone numbers are entered free-form with other miscellaneous tidbits like this:
UserName 1234567890 Location 0987654321 OtherInfo
OtherInfo 1234567890 Location
M 1234567890 C 0987654321
Location 1234567890 0987654321
While your formula works great for extracting the numbers, it's resulting in strings like this now 12345678900987654321, which I would then need to split back up. Not all #s are 10 digits. Some have only 7 and others are international.
Hello!
You have not written what result you want to get. Therefore, I can only recommend this article - Custom Excel number format.
If something is still unclear, please feel free to ask.
Hi,
I have used your formula above for extracting numbers from the left of a string [=LEFT(C738,SUM(LEN(C738)-LEN(SUBSTITUTE(C738,{"0","1","2","3","4","5","6","7","8","9"},""))))] but it is not returning the expected result:
* String - 198503_NA_ST17 9UQ
* Expected result - 198503
* Actual result - 198503_NA
If you could give me any indication as to where I have gone wrong it would be very much appreciated.
Kind regards,
Matt
Hello!
Please try the following formula:
=LEFT(A2,MATCH(FALSE,ISNUMBER(--MID(A2,ROW($1:$94),1)),0)-1)
Hope this is what you need.
Hi Alexander,
Thanks for your help but unfortunately that is returning #N/A.
I changed the cell reference to C113 to suit where I am extracting the data from (I am extracting it into cell A113) and changed ROW references to $5:$475 as those are the rows my full data set sits in.
Have I gone wrong somewhere making those changes? I tried it without changing the ROW references but it still returns #N/A.
Thanks again for your help.
Matt
Hi,
No need to change absolute references.
=LEFT(C113,MATCH(FALSE,ISNUMBER(--MID(C113,ROW($1:$94),1)),0)-1)
If you are using Excel 2019 and below, enter this formula as an array formula. In Excel 365, you can type as usual using the Enter key.

Hi, I used the formula to extract number from beginning of strings :
=LEFT(A2,SUM(LEN(A2)-LEN(SUBSTITUTE(A2,{"0","1","2","3","4","5","6","7","8","9"},""))))
to extract
2A 1234521
it was supposed to extract 2, but instead it extract
2A 12345
Why is that? Please help.
Hi Shay,
To extract a number only from the beginning, please use this formula:
=LEFT(A2, MATCH(FALSE, ISNUMBER(MID(A2, ROW(INDIRECT( "1:"&LEN(A2)+1)), 1) *1), 0) -1)
Hello,
I would like to extract the phone numbers from this cell.
7. UZOUKWU, PRINCE ROYCE 0803 743 5119-MUM/0803 275 9140-DAD
I have a long spreadsheet of names & the positioning of the phone numbers are not in the same place.
However I will separate these phone numbers in 2 cells.
Hello!
If the phone number always has the same number of digits, you can try these formulas:
=MID(A1,SEARCH("-",A1,1)-13,13)
=MID(A1,SEARCH("-",A1,SEARCH("-",A1,1)+1)-13,13)
I hope I answered your question. If something is still unclear, please feel free to ask.
The first one worked, for the first phone numbers and the 2nd pulled the 2nd phone number.
Thank you so much.
Hi alexander,

FOR 3RD ROW I WANT 841427
FOR 4TH ROW I WANT 441122
Please let me know the formula
Hello!
You are using commas as word separators. You can extract the penultimate word using the formula —
=TRIM(MID(A1,FIND("*",SUBSTITUTE(A1,",","*",LEN(A1)-1 -LEN(SUBSTITUTE(A1,",",""))),1)+1, FIND("*",SUBSTITUTE(A1,",","*",LEN(A1)- LEN(SUBSTITUTE(A1,",",""))),1)- FIND("*",SUBSTITUTE(A1,",","*",LEN(A1)-1 -LEN(SUBSTITUTE(A1,",",""))),1)-1))
Hope this is what you need.

Working Fine.
=CONCAT(IF(ISNUMBER(--MID(A4,ROW($1:$93),1)),MID(A4,ROW($1:$93),1),""))
Using the formula
1orrange&2apple = 12 ( Answer getting now)
I need the answer as
1orrange&2apple = 3 ( it suppose to add up the numbers)
Hello!
Replace CONCAT function with SUM:
=SUM((IF(ISNUMBER(--MID(A4,ROW($1:$93),1)),--MID(A4,ROW($1:$93),1),"")))
Hope this is what you need.

Dear Expert Users
Please help anybody for get area from 250x350 that is written in one cell
and area should be 87500.
Hello!
Unfortunately, you can only turn text into a formula in Excel using macros. This cannot be done using formulas.
I have read well on how to extract numbers from the beginning of a text string.
However, even if there are additional numbers in the middle of the text string, I want to extract only the characters at the beginning in addition to the additional numbers. In other words, if you have a number in the middle of a text string (if the number ends and there is another number after the letter), you want the result to remain unchanged, but the formula provided does not. Is there a possible formula?
Like below
25600aaa bbb/25*35*46cm

Hello Kevin!
If I understand your task correctly, the following formula should work for you
=INDEX(A1:A5,MATCH("*"&LARGE( --RIGHT(A1:A5,LEN(A1:A5) - FIND("-",A1:A5)),1),A1:A5,0))
If there is anything else I can help you with, please let me know.
Thanks for the formulas (But I had trouble get them working. Here is why)
In some countries, Sweden among them, the "," character is a decimal delimiter. There for "SEARCH({0,1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9},A2)" results in an error. So for us we have to use another character in the syntax, ";". So here is what worked for me:
SEARCH({0;1;2;3;4;5;6;7;8;9},A2)
Hope above saves some time for others!
if character is more then 10 and less then 1000 which formula use
This formula does not give the decimal values i.e 5.25, 7.3 and more. Kindly help me out on this.
Formula ,
IF(SUM(LEN(A2)-LEN(SUBSTITUTE(A2, {"0","1","2","3","4","5","6","7","8","9"}, "")))>0, SUMPRODUCT(MID(0&A2, LARGE(INDEX(ISNUMBER(--MID(A2,ROW(INDIRECT("$1:$"&LEN(A2))),1))* ROW(INDIRECT("$1:$"&LEN(A2))),0), ROW(INDIRECT("$1:$"&LEN(A2))))+1,1) * 10^ROW(INDIRECT("$1:$"&LEN(A2)))/10),"")
=LOOKUP(9.9E+307,--LEFT(MID(A2,MIN(FIND({1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9,0}, $A2&"1023456789")),999),ROW(INDIRECT("1:999"))))
Not sure how to extract check no’s. From a text string having more that one set of numbers - see example below:
Brad James Company - Check - 23897 / invoice # 456755 issued Sept 1
Any suggestions are greatly appreciated - the line above is a sample of the excel items and after the check number shown there a number of invoice numbers in the text string.
Thanks , Fred
If this is the data :
My Assumption is that all your data has "/" after the check number.
First :
Find the nth place of that "/" in that string using this formula :
=+FIND("/",D2)
Brad James Company - Check - 23897 / invoice # 456755 issued Sept 1
Output = 36
then,
use this formula =+MID(D2,C2-7,7)
here D2 is the input data which you have & C2 refers to the output of find formula i.e)36
then the output will be "23987".
Hope this helps! :)

Hi There,
Please help me to get extracted the number from a string. There is a string "(CAN_39F Inc. - 35722)" and I want to get only "35722" instead of "3935722". I have used the formula given above but I get all the number written in the string. That formula is very helpful in getting number from strings like "(Meraki Group - 36785)" (extracted number "36785") but fails for strings where number is written middle of the string or start and I want only those number which are written in last after hyphen (-).
Kindly help me to get this sorted out.
That would be very helpful.
Rahul:
If the data is always formatted as shown in your example, the simplest way to extract the digits after the hyphen is:
=RIGHT(A2,5) where the data is in A2. You can change the number of digits from 5 to another string length.
