    Re: pull vowels in alpha order

    Why one vowel in C: please DO explain your logic.

    And wasn't there a macro posted recently that did something similar i.e. checking 3 consecutive vowels ?

    Re: pull vowels in alpha order

    Are the strings in column A always exactly 7 letters?
    In all your examples, the vowels in the original string are already in alpha order. Will that always be true?
    In your example results, why is there a space before the last vowel?

    Re: pull vowels in alpha order

    You can use this formula in B1, assuming your data starts in A1:

    =IF(ISNUMBER(SEARCH(MID(A1,1,1),"AEIOU")),MID(A1,1,1),"")&IF(ISNUMBER(SEARCH(MID(A1,2,1),"AEIOU")),MID(A1,2,1),"")&IF(ISNUMBER(SEARCH(MID(A1,3,1),"AEIOU")),MID(A1,3,1),"")&IF(ISNUMBER(SEARCH(MID(A1,4,1),"AEIOU")),MID(A1,4,1),"")&IF(ISNUMBER(SEARCH(MID(A1,5,1),"AEIOU")),MID(A1,5,1),"")&IF(ISNUMBER(SEARCH(MID(A1,6,1),"AEIOU")),MID(A1,6,1),"")&IF(ISNUMBER(SEARCH(MID(A1,7,1),"AEIOU")),MID(A1,7,1),"")

    It might be easier to understand what is happening if I split the formula manually:

    =IF(ISNUMBER(SEARCH(MID(A1,1,1),"AEIOU")),MID(A1,1,1),"")
    &IF(ISNUMBER(SEARCH(MID(A1,2,1),"AEIOU")),MID(A1,2,1),"")
    &IF(ISNUMBER(SEARCH(MID(A1,3,1),"AEIOU")),MID(A1,3,1),"")
    &IF(ISNUMBER(SEARCH(MID(A1,4,1),"AEIOU")),MID(A1,4,1),"")
    &IF(ISNUMBER(SEARCH(MID(A1,5,1),"AEIOU")),MID(A1,5,1),"")
    &IF(ISNUMBER(SEARCH(MID(A1,6,1),"AEIOU")),MID(A1,6,1),"")
    &IF(ISNUMBER(SEARCH(MID(A1,7,1),"AEIOU")),MID(A1,7,1),"")

    It just looks at each letter in turn to see if it is a vowel, and if so it adds it to a composite string.

    Hope this helps.

    Pete

    Re: pull vowels in alpha order

    Why not simple put all these very similar requests in one workbook OR put the the macros in PERSONAL.XLSB where they are available to any workbook.

    Re: pull vowels in alpha order

    It is much easier to remove consonants than searching.
