Hi,
I'm looking for a formula or something to help me to split a certain word in a cell or to return a certain word.
My example is:
Sandnesveien 19 M1020
M1020 Sandnesveien 19
I need to have the Mxxx in a different cell, which formula can I use to split it? In some cells the Mxxx is before the text and in some it is after.
Can someone help me?
Thanks in advance
This maybe (based solely on your very small sample dataset):
=MID(A1,SEARCH("M*",A1),5)

you can use Text2Columns then Concatenate() (if neccessary)
Wow, thanks Ali! It worked perfectly
Have a lovely day!
Great! Glad to have helped.
If that takes care of your original question, please select Thread Tools from the menu link above and mark this thread as SOLVED. Thanks.
If the pattern is ALWAYS M plus 4 digits:
="M"&LOOKUP(2,1/(MMULT(0+(ISNUMBER(-MID(" "&A2,ROW(INDIRECT("1:"&LEN(A2)))+{0,1,2,3,4,5},1))+0={0,1,1,1,1,0}),{1;1;1;1;1;1})=6),MID(A2,ROW(INDIRECT("1:"&LEN(A2))),4))
Ali's will fail if there is an M earlier in the string. Mine will fail if there's another 4 digit number in the string.

None of us get paid for helping you... we do this for fun. So DON'T FORGET to say "Thank You" to all who have freely given some of their time to help YOU
Try it with:
Mandnesveien 19 M1020
That's why I said this, Glenn:
... based solely on your very small sample dataset ...
My sampleset was a bit to small. I see now that my case have different samples, so Ali's suggestion only worked for the two I have shown.
What if my sampleset was like this:
Kanalarmen 08 Bilfinger
Kanalarmen 10 Simex
Kanalarmen 12 M1117
Kanalsletta 02 (Golftower)
I would only want the formula to return Mxxx or 0.
Thanks!
Kind regards
Thalia
Try this:
=IFERROR(MID(A1,SEARCH("M*",A1),5),0)
See post 6.
Thanks Glenn and Ali.
I use Microsoft Excel in Norwegian, and tried your formula Glenn, but it was a bit hard to translate it to norwegian formulas.
But I'll try again. ;-)
maybe :
="M"&SLÅ.OPP(2;1/(MMULT(0+(ERTALL(-DELTEKST(" "&A2;RAD(INDIREKTE("1:"&LENGDE(A2)))+{0;1;2;3;4;5};1))+0={0;1;1;1;1;0});{1;1;1;1;1;1})=6);DELTEKST(A2;RAD(INDIREKTE("1:"&LENGDE(A2)));4))
but I think this should be --DELTEKST
I didn't test formula but double unary changing text number to real number
My Norwegian excel will not read {0;1;2;3;4;5} it seems. Any other suggestions here? :-)Originally Posted by sandy666
