问题
I've been searching up and down for an answer to this, but haven't found anything I can get to work. It may well be my lack of knowledge in the more "codey" aspects of Excel.
Anyway, this is my situation: In C2-C17, I have some text set up like this:[2] Name of job. The "[2]" indicates the hours we expect the assignment to take, the rest is the name of the assignment.
Now I need to calculate how many hours all this adds up to, so in B2-B17 (the numbers will change) I would like to extract the number between the brackets, in this case "2", so I can simply calculate and add them up.
How would I go about doing this? I've spent far too long at work by now, trying to find a solution that works for me.
Any help would be very much appreciated!
回答1:
Use the formulas: MID(cell,start_num, length) and FIND(text,cell)
So, the formula is:
=MID(B3, FIND("[",B3)+1, FIND("]",B3) - FIND("[",B3) - 1)
Which means: Extract the text from the cell B3, starting from the location of character "[" plus 1 in the same cell, and a total of chars calculates by: location of "]" - location of "[" minus one.

Copy to a new column, Find & Replace, Find what:
*[
Replace All. Find what:
]*
Replace All.
回答3:
There is a function to work with substrings: "MID"
The C3 cell have formula. We assume that string will always start from [ and then will be number of hours (1 digit).
Than I just expand to other cells froc C3 to F3
You can add substitute function to work with two digit numbers.
