Excel-文字或数字公式

Question

I'm wondering if there's a shortcut to the following.

I have a product form that customers will fill out and I need the formula to format the part numbers they enter correctly. If it doesn't their entry doesn't match the products list.

Below are the variety of text/number/other variations... Excel Columns/ Rows Example

    101
7-2009
7-5601-RT
G-2121
5728B
PI-PIXES

I got all but the last one working with this formula: FORMULA1

=AND(SUMPRODUCT(--ISNUMBER(--MID(B40,ROW($1:$9996),1)))<LEN(B40),MIN(FIND({0,1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9},B40&"0123456789"))<=LEN(B40))

I also have to keep it in .xls format. Basically, I have one column that checks this above and it returns TRUE/FALSE.

I have another formula that checks for text: FORMULA2:

=IF(I40=FALSE,"NUMBER", "TEXT")

The final column TESTS FOR TEXT/NUMBER. FORMULA3:

=IF(J40 = "NUMBER", VALUE(B40), B40)

PI-PIXES is flagged as number because of the dash(hyphen).

Without any other option, I'm considering adding a third column to find TEXT with hyphens. I would then change FORMULA3 check if both if column 1 = TRUE+column 2 = TRUE and column 3 = TEXT but this is getting complicated and I'm wondering if there's a shortcut.

Answer 1

I think this does it:

=IF(SUBSTITUTE(B40,"-","")<>TEXT(B40,"@"),B40,IFERROR(VALUE(B40),B40))

If there are hyphens, it returns the B40 unchanged, eliminating dates. Otherwise, it handles it as a normal Value conversion with IFERROR.

This should work for older versions of Excel:

=IF(SUBSTITUTE(B40,"-","")<>TEXT(B40,"@"),B40,IF(ISERR(VALUE(B40)),B40,VALUE(B40)))

Or even this:

=IF(ISERR(FIND("-",B40)),IF(ISERR(VALUE(B40)),B40,VALUE(B40)),B40)
