I have kind of string composed of numbers separated with /, for example:
/11/12/485/
/476/99/
/956/
I want to filter the string to get always the first number:
11
476
956
Any idea would be appreciated
This expression [\d]{1} will give you one occurence to each number, so you grab first and that's it.

I need to get the position of No 4111 in the above text string, As an excel beginner any help will be greatly appreciated. Thanks.
All of the Text Strings will have a 4 digit number like 4111 which i have to get the position for.
Have tried using this formula to get four digit number in another column, LOOKUP(10^15,MID(A1,ROW(INDIRECT("1:"&LEN(A1))),5)+0) but I am looking to get position instead.
I have tried using lookup but I could only go so far as a beginner.
Use the formula you provided =LOOKUP(10^15,MID(A1,ROW(INDIRECT("1:"&LEN(A1))),5)+0) to identify the number, and use FIND to get the position of the number.
Cell A1="20/11/2022 12:00:52 2 X 15.95 15.95 USD 57 5 689 5 689 1 4111 0 Amazing Lego Team"
=FIND(LOOKUP(10^15,MID(A1,ROW(INDIRECT("1:"&LEN(A1))),5)+0),A1)
=58
This looks to be in a space (or some other character) delimited text string. If you have a bunch of rows of data like this, use the Text to Columns feature on the Data tab. Use the Delimited option and then click the check box next to space (or other if it's something custom not in the available options) and Excel will split the data into columns for you.
For your string example, if you know that your 4 digit is started 58 char from the beginning of the string, use =MID(A1,58,4) A1 is the cell with your string.
MID function returns a specific number of characters from a text string, starting at the position you specify, based on the number of characters you specify.
=LET(t,TEXTSPLIT(A1,," "),
FIND(FILTER(t,(LEN(t)=4)*(ISNUMBER(--(t)))),A1))
It splits the string at every space and filters the result for being of length of 4 characters and not being an error if converted to number.
Trying to add formula to data validation that checks whether a string is either 6 numerical digits, or 6 numerical digits with hyphens or spaces. E.g.
123456
Or
12-34-56
Or
12 34 56
The string could also contain leading zeros.
The user should not be able to input a string that differs from the above formats, so
123-456
Or
1234567
....for example
Would prefer not to use VBA, but am struggling to make this into a data validation formula.
Any ideas would be appreciated
Try this:
=AND(SUBSTITUTE(SUBSTITUTE(A1," ",""),"-","")*1<=999999,SUBSTITUTE(SUBSTITUTE(A1," ",""),"-","")*1>=1,LEN(SUBSTITUTE(SUBSTITUTE(A1," ",""),"-",""))=6)
This formula removes hyphens and spaces, then checks if the number is 6 digits and that it falls between 1 and 999999. If there are any letters/symbols, the *1 part will cause an error.
Edit:
#JvdV id right. I misread your requirements. Here is my second attempt:
=AND(OR(ISNUMBER(MATCH("??-??-??",A1,0)),ISNUMBER(MATCH("?? ?? ??",A1,0)),AND(IFERROR(A1*1,0)<=999999,IFERROR(A1*1,0)>=1)),ISNUMBER(SUBSTITUTE(SUBSTITUTE(A1,"-","")," ","")*1))
Here is what it allows and doesn't allow:
I have a string that contain results of the the SUM that have dynamic length that look like:
12345678
I have to display it with space separators:
12 345 678 //in looger
How can I do this with Google Script?
Thank you in advance!
Just formatted it with .00 at the end to use RegEx ('.' is a reference point). Then just sliced last three characters. Not elegant, but it works.
sum.toFixed(2).replace(/\d(?=(\d{3})+\.)/g, '$& ').slice(0,-3)
I have here some text strings
"16cg-301 -request","16cg-3368 - for review","16cg-3684 - for process"
what i would like to do is to remove all the text and characters except the number and the letters "cg" and - which is within the reference code.
If the string you want to extract is always before the first space in the full string then you can use SEARCH and LEFT to extract your reference code:
=LEFT(A1,SEARCH(" ",A1)-1)
This formula would take 16cg-3368 from 16cg-3368 - for review.
I suggest using something like suggested here
How to use Regular Expressions (Regex) in Microsoft Excel both in-cell and loops
With a replace regex similar to this
[^\dcg]*
or a match regex like this
^([0-9cg- ]+).*
else you could also work with a strange formule similar to this

only works by now for less than 33 signs.
problem here will be that you will get unexpected behavior like this:
123cg-123 - Process => 123cg-123-c
after rereading , I think you should try an other approach than described in the question ;-)
If you want to return everything up to and including the last digit, then try:
=LEFT(A1,LOOKUP(2,1/ISNUMBER(-MID(A1,seq,1)),seq))
seq is a named formula: Formula â–º Define Name
Name: seq
Refers to: =ROW(INDEX($1:$65535,1,1):INDEX($1:$65535,255,1))
seq returns an array of sequential numbers from 1 to 255.
mid(a1,seq,1)
returns an array consisting of the individual characters in the string in A1. The leading minus sign converts the digits from strings to numbers.
The lookup function will then return the position of the last digit
I need help! Can someone please let me know how to return the characters after the nth character?
For example, the strings I have is "001 baseball" and "002 golf", I want my code to return baseball and golf, not the number part. Since the word after the number is not always the same length, I cannot use = Right(String, n)
Any help will be greatly appreciated
If your numbers are always 4 digits long:
=RIGHT(A1,LEN(A1)-5) //'0001 Baseball' returns Baseball
If the numbers are variable (i.e. could be more or less than 4 digits) then:
=RIGHT(A1,LEN(A1)-FIND(" ",A1,1)) //'123456 Baseball’ returns Baseball
Mid(strYourString, 4) (i.e. without the optional length argument) will return the substring starting from the 4th character and going to the end of the string.
Alternately, you could do a Text to Columns with space as the delimiter.
Since there is the [vba] tag, split is also easy:
str1 = "001 baseball"
str2 = Split(str1)
Then use str2(1).
Another formula option is to use REPLACE function to replace the first n characters with nothing, e.g. if n = 4
=REPLACE(A1,1,4,"")
