    Formula to extract 10 or 11 digit phone numbers from random complex test string

    Hello Experts,

    I a newbee in field of excel formula and need your help in a complex formula, where i need to extract phone numbers from a string of random text. This does not have a fix format for the string

    Example set off strings:

    Dring to data add9724516002
    add 08107936777
    8726169633 plz add. Me
    9767488106 mujhe bhi add karo dosto

    I have already tried many formulas but nothing seem to work. Formulas here dont seem to work perfectly -http://www.excelforum.com/excel-formulas-and-functions/1064845-extract-10-digit-number-only-from-text-string.html.

    Re: Formula to extract 10 or 11 digit phone numbers from random complex test string

    try:
    Formula: copy to clipboard
    Please Login or Register  to view this content.
    with Control+Shift+Enter
    it will extract ALL digits from the string.
    If there will be problem with Scientific notation try this one:
    Formula: copy to clipboard

    with CSE also.

    EDIT:
    or (just for fun ) you can try with simply UDF function:
    1. VBA code
    2.
    Formula: copy to clipboard

    it will extract 10 or 11 digits only (no more, no less)

    Or this regular formula...
    =LOOKUP(99^99,--("0"&MID(A1,MIN(SEARCH({0,1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9},A1&"0123456789")),ROW($1:$10000)))) Courtesy of:*Ron Coderre
