I have colum B with values:
0015-04D-SEAW
0015-ADLKM-SPOK
0015-D-CURR
0016-01N-BOIL
etc.
How can I remove all characters after second dash and the second dash itself as well, it should look like this:
0015-04D
0015-ADLKM
0015-D
0016-01N
Assuming B1 contains 0015-04D-SEAW
This would do : =IFERROR(MID(B1,1,FIND("-",B1,FIND("-",B1,1)+1)-1),B1)
Result : 0015-04D
One dirty solution would be to convert text to columns delimited by - and then to concatenate the first two columns separated by -

I have values in rows like below:
Https://abc/uvw/xyz
Https://def/klm/qew/asdas
Https://ghi/sdk/asda/as/aa/
Https://jkl/asd/vcx/asdsss/ssss/
Now i want the result to be like below
Https://abc/uvw/xyz
Https://def/klm/qew
Https://ghi/sdk/asda
Https://jkl/asd/vcx
So how to take result by skipping / for up to some count or is there any other way to get this done in excel. Is there any way to skip result of the RIGHT when it Finds 4 '/' in string?
You could use SUBSTITUTE to replace the nth / (in this case 5th) to a unique character and perform a LEFT based on that unique character obtained from FIND. I'll take CHAR(1) as the unique character:
=LEFT(A1,IFERROR(FIND(CHAR(1),SUBSTITUTE(A1,"/",CHAR(1),5))-1,LEN(A1)))
Another option would be to split on / using Text to Columns under the Data tab and join back only the columns you need.
I have Excel sheet which contains data similar to
Addresses
xyz,abc,olk
opn,opk,prt
we-ylj,tyf,uyfas
oiui,ytfy,tydry - We also work in bla,bla,bla
ytfyt,tyfyt,ghfyt
i-hgsd,gsdf-hgd,sdgh,- We also work in xxx,yy,zzz
ytsfgh,gfasdg,tydsfyt
I want to remove all substring which is next to the character "-" only if it's in the last position.
Result should be like
xyz,abc,olk
opn,opk,prt
we-ylj,tyf,uyfas
oiui,ytfy,tydry
ytfyt,tyfyt,ghfyt i-hgsd,gsdf-hgd,sdgh
ytsfgh,gfasdg,tydsfyt
I tried with =Substitute function but unable to replace data because of the last substring separated from "-" is not similar.
Going by your specifications, I would use two columns just so it's not a very long formula:
In B1:
=IFERROR(FIND(CHAR(1),SUBSTITUTE(A1,"-",CHAR(1),LEN(A1)-LEN(SUBSTITUTE(A1,"-",""))))-1,LEN(A1))
This gets the position of the last - or the full text length.
Then in C1:
=LEFT(A1,IF(FIND(",",A1)<B1,B1,LEN(A1)))
This checks if there's a , before the last -. If there is no ,, then the full text is taken.
EDIT: I only now noticed your edited comment. If it's just everything after - We, then I would use this:
=TRIM(LEFT(A1,IFERROR(FIND("- We",A1)-2,LEN(A1))))
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 ► 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
Tendulkar,Sachin Ramesh
"=CONCATENATE(MID(C7,FIND(",",C7)+1,8)," ",LEFT(C7,FIND(",",C7)-1))"
For the above string, I want it as "Sachin R Tendulkar". I had written the above formula and it is working fine. Is there any other way to make dynamically Like instead of counting the characters and specifying it in find function?
Thanks in advance.
So to find "Sachin", you can use: =mid(F17,find(",", F17,1)+1,len(F17)-find(" ",F17)) this finds the next number of letters after the comma until the space.
To find R, you can use: =mid(F17,find(" ",F17)+1,1) this finds the first letter of the name after the space. Finally, you use =left(F17,find(",",F17)-1) to find the first name up until the comma.
Then we can concatenate these three strings with spaces as follows:
=CONCATENATE(mid(F17,find(",", F17,1)+1,len(F17)-find(" ",F17))," ",MID(F17,find(" ",F17)+1,1)," ",left(F17,find(",",F17)-1))
I am trying to convert a single column of numbers in excel to multiple depending on the content.
e.g. Table 1 contains 1 column that contains 1 or more numbers between 1 and 11 separated with a comma. Table 2 should contain 11 columns with a 1 or a 0 depending on the numbers found in Table 1.
I am using the following formula at present:
=IF(ISNUMBER(SEARCH("1",A2)),1,0)
The next column contains the following:
=IF(ISNUMBER(SEARCH("2",A2)),1,0)
All the way to 11
=IF(ISNUMBER(SEARCH("11",A2)),1,0)
The problem with this however is that the code for finding references to 1 also find the references to 11. Is it possible to write a formula that can tell the difference so that if I have the following in Table 1:
2, 5, 11
It doesn't put a 1 in column 1 of Table 2?
Thanks.
Use, for list with just comma:
=IF(ISNUMBER(SEARCH(",1,", ","&A2&",")),1,0)
If list is separated with , (comma+space):
=IF(ISNUMBER(SEARCH(", 1,", ", "&A2&",")),1,0)
A version of LS_dev's answer that will cope with 0...n spaces before or after each comma is:
=IF(ISNUMBER(SEARCH(", 1 ,",", "&TRIM(SUBSTITUTE(A2,","," , "))&" ,")),1,0)
The SUBSTITUTE makes sure there's always at least one space before and after each comma and the TRIM replaces multiple spaces with one space, so the result of the TRIM function will have exactly one space before and after each comma.
How about using the SUBSTITUTE function to change all "11" to Roman numeral "XI" prior to doing your search:
=IF(ISNUMBER(SEARCH("1",SUBSTITUTE(A2, "11", "XI"))),1,0)
If you want to eliminate "11" case, but this is all based on hardcoded values, there should be a smarter solution.
=IF(ISNUMBER(SEARCH(AND("1",NOT("11")),A2)),1,0)
