If you are open to a VBA solution, the following macro will fill the column B as desired.
In the attached, click the button on Sheet1 to run the code.
The code is placed on Module1.
Sub FillPattern() Dim Rng As Range Dim Cel As Range Dim LR As Long Dim strNum As String Dim Num As Variant Dim ZeroCnt As Long Application.ScreenUpdating = False LR = Cells(Rows.Count, 1).End(xlUp).Row Set Rng = Range("A1:A" & LR) For Each Cel In Rng strNum = getNumber(Cel.Value) strNum = Left(strNum, Len(strNum) - 1) If Left(strNum, 1) = "R" Then Num = Replace(strNum, "R", "") Num = "0." & Num Cel.Offset(0, 1).NumberFormat = "0.00" Else ZeroCnt = Right(strNum, 1) Num = Left(strNum, Len(strNum) - 1) Num = Num & WorksheetFunction.Rept("0", ZeroCnt) & ".0" Cel.Offset(0, 1).NumberFormat = "0.0" End If Cel.Offset(0, 1).Value = Num Next Cel Application.ScreenUpdating = True End Sub Function getNumber(ByVal str As String) As String Dim strNum As String Dim Num As Long Dim Matches As Object With CreateObject("VBScript.RegExp") .Global = False .Pattern = "R?(\d+)[UV]" If .test(str) Then Set Matches = .Execute(str) getNumber = Matches(0) End If End With End Function
To implement this code to your original workbook, follow these steps...
- Open your file and press Alt+F11 to open the VB Editor.
- On VB Editor Ribbon--> Insert Tab --> Choose Module and then copy the above code and paste it into the opened code window.
- Close the VB Editor window.
- Save your Excel Workbook as Macro-Enabled Workbook,
- To insert a button, you may insert any Shape of your choice, edit it's text and right click on the inserted Shape and choose Assign Macro and select the macro "FillPattern" in the next Macro Window which would appear with the available macros in the workbook and then click ok to finish. So now you may click the inserted Shape to run your code.
- You may also run the code after pressing the Alf+F8 to open the Macro Window, selecting the macro from the list and clicking on the Run button.
