Extract Numbers from a String in Excel | Using Formula and VBA
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 5 сен 2024
- Want to extract the numeric part or the text part from a string in Excel? In this video, I will show you how to extract numbers from a text string in Excel (and vice-versa, extract text from a string in Excel).
The video covers the following topics:
-- Extract Numbers/Text from String in Excel (using TEXTJOIN)
-- Extract Numbers from String in Excel (using VBA)
-- Extract Text from a String in Excel (using VBA)
You can use any of the methods covered to separate text and numbers in Excel.
If you're using Excel 2016, you can use the new TEXTJOIN formula which makes it a lot easier to extract numbers from a string. The below formula extracts the numbers from a string in a cell in Excel:
=TEXTJOIN("",TRUE,IFERROR((MID(A2,ROW(INDIRECT("1:"&LEN(A2))),1)*1),""))
But if you're not using Excel 2016 (and using prior versions such as Excel 2013/2010/2007/2003), you need to use a longer and more complicated formula (you can find that formula here: trumpexcel.com...
And in case you are fine using VBA, you can easily create a custom User Defined Formula that takes the cell reference as the input and extracts the number part from a string. It's easy and neat with VBA.
Personally, I prefer using the VBA method to separate Numbers and Text in Excel as it only requires the work once and can be used over and over again.

This is genius!
Thank you - this is the ONLY formula that worked after hours of searching. Note to other users, CTRL-SHIFT-ENTER just adds =Arrayformula( to the formula which is ESSENTIAL for it to work. I was looking a set of prices big and small which are prefixed with odd symbols like ^~ instead of $,£ etc. Anyway it worked - phew. The old huge LEN formula worked on another set of data but not this one even though identical?! Happy to send you $5 if you get in touch.
Glad you found the video useful James :)
dame, these formula just so smart and awesome. and super useful. you are rock Thanks so much
The video was very useful
I am trying to synthesize daily discharge data from a river for the last 10 years and the raw data cell values all have letters at the end,,,,, THIS SAVED ME. THANK YOU.
Thank you so much i keep watching your videos all the time.
Guy, you are a GENIUS! Thank you so much!
This Video is very helpful for both VBA and Even the Excel Functions as well, Thanks for the Creator
Hey Sumit. You're the best!
great trick special VBA part, thanks!!
Great tutorial especially the VBA one. Amazing 👏
Thanks so much Bro! I used your VBA code in access to extract numbers with dots, adapted it very sligtly and it works soooo perfectly! You're a crack!
Good video. But this seems like a task for which Excel/Microsoft should create a specialized function. A user shouldn't have to create something so complex in order to achieve something fairly simple.
you are Awesome and thanks for free teaching
Thank you so much! Helped a lot.
Thanks a TON!! very simple and useful
thanks, wonderful VBA
Thank you Sumit, it helped me alot
Awesome bro... But to reach here need more practise for me...
Amazing, thanks for this, worked a treat
Hello Sir,
Thank you very much,
If cell has more then 25 character, which code need to use?
Thank you very much! Agree with Jared
Thanks !!! this video helped me a lot and saved my time
I'm subscribing off of this single experience! You are the shit. Let me see what else you have.
Great video I wish you would do one that sums all numbers in a cell even if the cell contains text values along with numbers. Another way is to use what you’ve shown is use one of your formulas then use substitute function in the next cell over and reference your cell with the formula and it would return the cell value not included in your formula result.
Thank you so much!!
This is great straight to the point, are you able do same thing on SQLite?
Oh my God...
Beautiful
Very osm Bansal sir
Keep sharing yur Knowledge with us.
Thanks a ton
brilliant i loved it
Now, with the new SEQUENCE function in Office 365, you can simplify the formula.
Instead of:
=TEXTJOIN("",TRUE,IFERROR(MID(A2,ROW(INDIRECT("1:"&LEN(A2))),1)*1,""))
You can write:
=TEXTJOIN("",TRUE,IFERROR(MID(A2,SEQUENCE(LEN(A2)),1)*1,""))
SEQUENCE(LEN(A2)) Creates the same array as does: ROW(INDIRECT("1:"&LEN(A2)))
1:22 i think it is not for number of rows but for the number of characters in the cell.
Thanks sir, very helpful video. But I want to know whether we can extract more than one word. You have taught to extract one word from the middle of a line, in this video, but I want to get more than one word from a line.
What part of the formula should be edited in order to include a decimal point so that I can distinguish between something like 125 and 1.25?
Hey Sumit, is there a way to start the Function without F( or Shift enter, because I want to aplly it to an entire column and not want to kick off every cell for itself? Thanks a bunch for your awesome video, so far you've been the onlz one to give me a solid solution!
Hello,
How should I change the VBA Function in order to separate number with decimals. For example : 12.5ml - - - > 12.5
Because with the given formula it is: 12.5ml - - >125
And one more comment, if I may:
your solution does extract the digits from the text, but the result is left-aligned, which means that it isn’t a number.
In order to convert the string into a “real” number, we can simply multiply the TEXTJOIN result by 1.
Here is my version, a bit more legible and shorter….
=TEXTJOIN(,1,IFERROR(MID(A2,SEQUENCE(LEN(A2)),1)*1," "))*1
Hi Sumit.. awesome video and lesson. Love that TEXTJOIN solution to extract text or numbers from a string.. been trying to come up with that for years. I've looked at your UDF tutorial and so was familiar with the UDF solutions. Had to chuckle.. I also forgot to declare i and Result and got a variable not found error. Good learning on this one. Keep them coming. Thanks and Thumbs up!
PS - For some reason, the download of the example file does not work.. when I click on it, I get a screen full of goofy characters and no download :(
I wish I could do on Mac. F9 to evaluate formula and shift return (Cmd+return on Mac) not working.I will try other way. But what if there is a decimal point, number not an integer?
great and very useful video sir.
further if we have 3;55;78;22; .... type text in a single cell. then how to add these numbers and get the result in a cell. pl help. thanks
While using this formula mentioned in numeric part in "Office 365", it displaying the result even when I have not used the key CSE.
I think, the CSE impact is not applicable in 365 version.
how to aumomate that in vba..?
So without click and drag, just when run the macro, the result is auto fill in other column..
Sorry maybe dumb question, but i really newbie in VBA

You did not write end if how did your code work please explain
hello! how can i extract numbers with criteria through macro? for example, i need to extract 10 digit number that starts with 5609 or 5881 etc and the output will go to the rows / each 10 digit number on the same row but separate numbers? thank you so much!
Hi sumit, Thanks for the video. But how can we tweak it around to get the set of numbers in the string. For example if the string is cost of 20 tickets is USD 100, how can we get the numeric out put as 20 100?
How you extract to see formula...
If it is a decimal number how we can extract
Thanks for the video,I have a question can we get information from online website and paste in excel ??for example i need lowest price in particular product from Flipkart on daily basis and paste it on my excel sheet. Please suggest
hi summit, i also work with excel 2016, but a stand-alone version. This version does not include functions
which the office365 version of excel 2016 offers! Is there a way to replace the textjoin function with something else?
regards from berlin, germany
colin
how call this function in all workbooks and worksheets new and old
My extract formula isn’t working. =RIGHT(A2,5) is there other settings I need to change? I keep getting error message
Great thank you! But this formula need the textjoin function. Could you please advice for excel 2010 or 2013?
It is very useful to me. Thank you very much!
Try the following formula, I got it from another web site. =SUMPRODUCT(MID(0&A1,LARGE(INDEX(ISNUMBER(--MID(A1,ROW($1:$50),1))*
ROW($1:$50),0),ROW($1:$25))+1,1)*10^ROW($1:$25)/10) and here is the web site link www.makeuseof.com/tag/extract-number-text-excel-function/
@@markthom6341 I also tried this but it didn't work. Alternative is to use this textjoin function in 'google sheets' which has all the latest Excel 2016 formulas.
this is best ....thanks
Awsome!!!
hi sir thanks for send useful excel vedio. I have a one question. we have everyday received data from pivot table . I want to send mail to my boss in every evenings. data received from SQL by table form .
can i use numeric part for another formula
?
Kindly copay and paste this formula for extract number in reply, bcz this is not working in my sheet
thanks for the video. can you advise me why it only works for a short length of a string?
for example, if the input is "the cost is USD 100", I get the correct answer "100".
however, if the input is "ww24rg67sst65768rq245th", the answer is #VALUE!.
thanks again.
I'm getting an error message: "Compile error: Expected: list seperator or )". I don't know what's wrong with my code, since it's written exactly like yours :/
bro he missed end if
I do not understand how someone would know this....
Sir, I request you to please make a formula in which I can extract two or three words from the middle of the line of a cell in Excel. I have made different formulas for both, but I am not able to form a formula by mixing them both. I am sharing both those formulas with you. You are requested to mix these two and make a formula so that I can extract two or three or four words from a line in a cell. Please Please
(To extract one word from mid of line)
=Trim(MID(SUBSTITUTE(B6," ",REPT(" ",LEN(B6))),(C6-1)*LEN(B6)+1,LEN(B6)))
(To extract 2 or 3 word from the starting of the line)
=TRIM(LEFT(B1,FIND("~",SUBSTITUTE(B1," ","~",A1)&"~")))
Teach me VBA in detail please
how many of you are here after may june 2019 IT p4
hi can you please support me with a formula! i have a string "Toys 12: tre1 24 lvp" ( could you please support with a formula to get only numbers in separate cell each number (exaple in cell 1 to be number 12; in cell 2 to be number 1 and in cell 3 to be number 24
Great please send me code visual code
Maybe this will help somebody:
Example: extractstring(A2,11111)
Function extractstring(myCell As Range, stringtype As String)
Dim myString As String
Dim myReplacementCharacter As String
Dim myCharactersArray() As Variant
Dim iCharacter As Variant
Dim myString1 As String
Dim myReplacementCharacter1 As String
Dim myCharactersArray1() As Variant
Dim length As Integer
Dim startpoint As Integer
Dim result As String
Dim stringtype1 As String
stringtype1 = "/" & stringtype & "/"
length = Len(stringtype)
myString = myCell.Value
myCharactersArray = Array("A", "B", "C", "D", "E", "F", "G", "H", "I", "J", "K", "L", "M", "N", "O", "P", "Q", "R", "S", "T", "U", "V", "W", "X", "Y", "Z", " ", ":", ",", "a", "b", "c", "d", "e", "f", "g", "h", "i", "j", "k", "l", "m", "n", "o", "p", "q", "r", "s", "t", "u", "v", "w", "x", "y", "z", "-")
myReplacementCharacter = "/"
For Each iCharacter In myCharactersArray
myString = Replace(Expression:=myString, Find:=iCharacter, Replace:=myReplacementCharacter)
Next iCharacter
myString1 = myString
myCharactersArray1 = Array("0", "2", "3", "4", "5", "6", "7", "8", "9")
myReplacementCharacter1 = "1"
For Each iCharacter In myCharactersArray1
myString1 = Replace(Expression:=myString1, Find:=iCharacter, Replace:=myReplacementCharacter1)
Next iCharacter
myString2 = "/" & myString1 & "/"
startpoint = Application.WorksheetFunction.Find(stringtype1, myString2)
result = Mid(myCell, startpoint, length)
extractstring = result
End Function
Extremely helpful. Thank you very much!
