Inserting the “concatenation operator” (& or &” “&) among 230 Excel cells can be done in MS Word. This method is good enough if the task is not repetitive and if a Procedure is not available. (1) Arrange all the 230 cell-references (the text of which is to be merged in to one cell) in single column or single row in a Table in the merging order (use Excel worksheet and paste in Word). (2) Select the table and merge cells (Table Tools > Layout > Merge Cells) to get multi-line single-column Table with paragraph mark at the end of each line except last line. (3) Replaces all paragraph marks with commas (Editing > Replace; Find what = ^p and Replace with = ,). (4) Convert table to text to get content of each cell separated by a comma in a single paragraph. (5) Replaces all commas with concatenation-operator or operators, & or &” “& as required (Editing > Replace; Find what = , and Replace with = & or &” “&). (6) Prefix “=” to the paragraph. Required formula is ready in text form. Copy and paste in Excel; it becomes a formula. (7) The same result can be achieved in MS Excel also through Editing > Fill > Justify but with limitations. (a) Width of merged text that can be displayed is equal to the width of cell where Justify is applied. Superfluous text is written in cells below as separate text. (b) Numbers are to be converted to text (Formulas > Text > TEXT(Value, Format_text). I am an Excel user only and I am sorry for my earlier inappropriate suggestion.

Hi, if you use the text to column feature you can do this. highlight the column in question, click on text to column, step through the process. It will ask you what your delimiter is, if there is a space between the quantity and the measurement (115 gm) you can use the space as your delimiter. PS... add a column to the right of your data column just incase it does something wonky on you.

[quote]I need to convert text from value to sort a large data. please help. For Example 115 gm (this is in shown as text) I need only 115 in next column to sort. Please reply help in this regardsBy Ahmed[/quote] 897/5000 Hi, if the numbers inside the text string are in correlative form, try this, in the formula bar type B1 (if the data column is in A1): = MID (A1, MIN (IFERROR (FIND ({0; 1; 2; 3; 4; 5; 6; 7; 8; 9}, A1), "")), COUNT (1: $ 98), 1))) And then press Ctrl + Shift + Enter because it is a matrix formula, ie at the beginning and end of the formula will appear {y}. Note that I use the comma (,), but it is likely that you must use the semicolon (;) to create both the array of digits and to separate the arguments of the function. I apologize if there is something wrong with the translation from Spanish, if it gives you an error in case I copy the formula in that language: = EXTRACT (A1, MIN (IF YOU FIND ({0; 1; 2; 3; 4; 5; 6; 7; 8; 9}, A1) , FILA ($ 1: $ 98), 1))) Original by Moisés Ortíz (https://exceltotal.com/extraer-numeros-de-una-celda-en-excel/)
