Excel VBA /公式搜索列

Question

I need to search a column for 5-9 digit ID's that follow the term ^v_cusip= and are separated by commas. From first glance it seemed that the ID's were followed by ^v_sort_order so I tried:

=MID(A2,FIND("^v_cusip=",A2)+9,(FIND("^v_sort_order=",A2)-(FIND("^v_cusip=",A2)+9)))

However, what follows ^v_cusip= varies. Is there another formula or a VBA code I can use to search the rows? I cannot repeatedly use MID/FIND as there are thousands of rows with numerous variations of what can follow ^v_cusip= .

Thanks!

Answer 1

What does the rest of cell details look like? Is there only '=' sign in each row? If so, perhaps you could do a text to columns and use the '=' sign as the delimiter.

Once it's split should put the ID in a predictable column.

Answer 2

=LEFT(RIGHT(A2;LEN(A2)-FIND("^v_cusip=";A2)-8);FIND("^";RIGHT(A2;LEN(A2)-FIND("^v_cusip=";A2)-8))-1)

This will show only the part between ^v_cusip= and the next ^ character. You can further split the string by comma.
