如何在Excel中的文本字符串中找到字符的第n个出现(位置)?

例如,单元格A1中有一个很长的句子,请参见以下屏幕截图。 现在,您需要从单元格A3中的文本字符串中找到字符“ c”的第1个出现位置。 当然,您可以一一计算字符,并获得准确的位置结果。 但是,这里我们将介绍一些简单的技巧,以从单元格中的文本字符串中查找特定字符的第n个出现或位置。


使用“查找”公式查找单元格中字符的第n个出现(位置)

有两个“查找”公式可以帮助您从单元格中的文本字符串中快速查找特定字符的第n个出现或位置。

下面的公式将向您显示如何在单元格A3中查找“ c”的第三次出现。

查找公式1

在空白单元格中,输入公式 = FIND(“ c”,A1,FIND(“ c”,A1)+2).

doc在文本字符串2中找到第n个位置

然后按 输入 键。 已显示第三个字母“ c”的位置。

备注:您可以根据需要更改公式中的2。 例如,如果要查找“ c”的第四个位置,可以将2更改为3。如果要找到“ c”的第一个位置,则将2更改为0。

找出公式2

在空白单元格中,输入公式 = FIND(CHAR(1),SUBSTITUTE(A1,“ c”,CHAR(1),3)),然后按 输入 键。

备注:公式中的“ 3”表示第三个“ c”,您可以根据需要进行更改。


计算单词在Excel单元格中出现的次数

通常,如果一个单词在一个需要计数的单元格中出现几次,则可以将它们一一计数。 但是,如果单词出现数百次,则手动计数很麻烦。 的 计算单词出现的次数 功能 Kutools for Excel's 公式助手 小组可以快速计算单词在单元格中出现的次数。 30 天内免费试用全部功能!

> 使用VBA查找单元格中字符的第n个出现位置(位置)

实际上,您可以应用VB宏轻松地在一个单元格中找到第n个出现或特定字符的位置。

步骤1:按住 ALT + F11 键,然后打开 Microsoft Visual Basic应用程序 窗口。

步骤2:点击 插页 > 模块,然后将以下宏粘贴到“模块窗口”中。

VBA:找到字符的第n个位置。

Function FindN(sFindWhat As String, _
sInputString As String, N As Integer) As Integer
Dim J As Integer
Application.Volatile
FindN = 0
For J = 1 To N
FindN = InStr(FindN + 1, sInputString, sFindWhat)
If FindN = 0 Then Exit For
Next
End Function

步骤3:现在,如果要查找单元格A1中第三个“ c”位置的确切位置,请输入公式 = FindN(“ c”,A1,3),然后按 输入 键。 然后它将立即返回特定单元格中的确切位置。

Your formula to find the Nth occurrence of a character in a string does not work. Using your example, adding 2 to the results of the imbedded find ensures a starting position for the initial find of a position beyond the 1st two c's but changing the +2 to +3 does not yield the position of the 4th "c", it simply starts the search one character deeper into the string and the result is still the 3rd "c". To find the 4th "c" the search must begin beyond the position of the 3rd "c". I look forward to your new solution.

Hello, David

Yes, as you said, the first formula does not work correctly, you can apply the second formula:
=FIND(CHAR(1),SUBSTITUTE(A2,"c",CHAR(1),2))

Note: The number "2" in the formula means the second "c", if you want to get the third, fourth "c", just change the number 2 to 3,4 as you need.
Please try, hope it can help you!

Find formula1 is imperfect. It will be a great help if it is removed. I have lost lot of time trying for 4th occurance of "a" in "vedanarayanan" Thanks.

To handle the exception of the formula, you can use same with if and iserro
=IF(ISERR(FIND("c",A1,FIND("c",A1)+2)),FIND("c",A1,FIND("c",A1)+0),FIND("c",A1,FIND("c",A1)+2))

"Substitute" lets you find the Nth occurrence of a term, so combine it with "find" as follows (where 5=5th occurrence):

=FIND(CHAR(1),SUBSTITUTE(A1,"c",CHAR(1),5))

Excellent! I am glad I scrolled up to review other comments after posting my own.

This is the correct answer! please replace this whole article with this one line of code.....

The first formula is completely useless and wrong but it works just correct for this example as the first and second "c"s are adjacent. The correct formula is:


For 2nd occurence -
=FIND("c",A1,FIND("c",A1)+1)

For 3rd occurence -
=FIND("c",A1,FIND("c",A1,FIND("c",A1)+1)+1) and so on...

Absolutely agree. The +2, or +3 etc.....entirely depends on the spacing between the n and (n+1) occurences of "c". Thus you would have to manually adjust for every cell if you were trying to copy this formula down a column for instance. Essentially the same as manually counting.


Ex. Let's try to find the 4th occurrence of "c" in cell A1 using the provided formula. Per the article we should use +3 in our nested FIND function to find the 4th occurrence.


Text in Cell A1:

"cab car abc cole cube"

Manually counting, the 4th occurrence is the "c" in cole in the character position of 13.


=FIND("c",A1,FIND("c",A1)+3)

The nested function, FIND("c",A1) will find the first occurrence of "c" in position 1.

Therefore,

FIND("c",A1)+3 = 1+3 = 4

Plugging that back into our formula,

=FIND("c",A1,FIND("c",A1)+3) = FIND("c",A1,1+3) = FIND("c",A1,4)

This new formula will look for the first occurrence of "c" beginning from character position 4. The 4th character in the string is the space just after cab.

Therefore, the formula will find the "c" in car and return the value of 5 for our formula. As we know from manually counting we are looking for 13 as the output.

The firs formula works correct in my version, in the note, it has explained how to find the third or forth or nth "c".

Note: You can change the 2 in the formula based on your needs. For example, if you want to find the fourth position of "c", you can change the 2 to 3. And if you want to find the first position of "c", you shuold change 2 to 0.

Try to find out the position of the second c with the first sentence of my above comment as the string using the first formula. You'll get to know how correct it is!

Hello all,

I have a text in an Excel cell " BY TRANSFER-NEFT*HDFC0000001*N08745987123546*J0032331*KUMAR--"

I need a function to extract just "N08745987123546"

Thanks

Hello, do you want to extract the numbers after No and the number of numbers are fixed? If so, you can use Kutools for Exccel's Extract text function, type No????to extract.

Formula 1 doesn't work on fourth, fifth, sixth etc. so (+3,4,5) will always show third position of letter "c" which is 19 second formula is working though.

Hello all, I have a text in an Excel cell "23 floyd lane, longville,KN 14564" I need a function to extract just "longville" Thanks

If you must use a function, try: =TRIM(MID(A1,SEARCH(",",A1)+1,SEARCH("!@#",SUBSTITUTE(A1,",","!@#",2))-SEARCH(",",A1)-1)) Otherwise, you might consider Data > Text to Columns > Delimited (using a comma as the separator).

Try this: =INDEX(SMALL(IF(MID(A1,MATCH(ROW(INDIRECT(1&":"&LEN(A1))),ROW(INDIRECT(1&":"&LEN(A1))),0),1)="c",MATCH(ROW(INDIRECT(1&":"&LEN(A1))),ROW(INDIRECT(1&":"&LEN(A1))),0),""),MATCH(ROW(INDIRECT(1&":"&LEN(A1)-LEN(SUBSTITUTE(A1,"c","")))),ROW(INDIRECT(1&":"&LEN(A1)-LEN(SUBSTITUTE(A1,"c","")))),0)),2) where "c" is the character required and 2 is the position. Note this is an array formula.

this is simpler: =INDEX(SMALL(IF(MID(A1,ROW(INDIRECT(1&":"&LEN(A1))),1)="c",ROW(INDIRECT(1&":"&LEN(A1))),""),ROW(INDIRECT(1&":"&LEN(A1)-LEN(SUBSTITUTE(A1,"c",""))))),2)
