Excelchat Expert 19/05/2018 - 08:03
I am trying with formula
Excelchat Expert 19/05/2018 - 08:04
I split the pattern to 1/ L + 2w+ 3w to 1 L 2W 3W
Excelchat Expert 19/05/2018 - 08:04
using mid formula
User 19/05/2018 - 08:05

Matching patterns is not possible using Formulae we have to Go with VBA only
Excelchat Expert 19/05/2018 - 08:20
Using for to loop through shooters
Excelchat Expert 19/05/2018 - 08:20
create 4 variables
User 19/05/2018 - 08:21
after splitting the pattern what you have done
Excelchat Expert 19/05/2018 - 08:21
Variable one variable as true if first pattern matches similarly make true other variable as true if consecutive matches
Excelchat Expert 19/05/2018 - 08:22
Finally make a condition such that if all the four variable becomes true
Excelchat Expert 19/05/2018 - 08:23
then use if condition to give a value like 1 or -7
Excelchat Expert 19/05/2018 - 08:23
Did you get it?
User 19/05/2018 - 08:24
nope
Excelchat Expert 19/05/2018 - 08:24
basically we have to code this logic in VBA
User 19/05/2018 - 08:25
ok, so are you working on it
Excelchat Expert 19/05/2018 - 08:25
with formula we can't do that
Excelchat Expert 19/05/2018 - 08:25
I can't work on VBA as this platform does not support VBA
User 19/05/2018 - 08:28
ok
Excelchat Expert 19/05/2018 - 08:28
please just use for loop logic in VBA it will resolve you issue
Excelchat Expert 19/05/2018 - 08:28
