extracting car plate from cell
I have to extract car plate from bank reference column. there are more than 10000 lines per month. The position of the car plate in the string varies. The car plate has min of 5 and max 10 alphabet+ ...
Can you provide more specific information on how the car plate and the rest of values/strings are seen on these cells. Maybe an example would be useful!
Understanding the specific rules that the strings on these cells follow will help us help you in the most efficient way.
For instance, you could instruct that the car plate is always preceded by "X" sequence/number of values. Or, that the car plate is always at the end of the string. Or, that the car plate is always between two specific numbers... There can be many rules, but make sure they always apply (to all 10000 lines).

Above are two sample. Most of the references have the similar pattern.
