如何在Excel中的文本字符串中找到字符的第n個出現(位置)?

例如,單元格A1中有一個很長的句子,請參見以下屏幕截圖。 現在,您需要從單元格A3中的文本字符串中找到字符“ c”的第1個出現位置。 當然,您可以一一計算字符,並獲得準確的位置結果。 但是,這裡我們將介紹一些簡單的技巧,以從單元格中的文本字符串中查找特定字符的第n個出現或位置。


使用“查找”公式查找單元格中字符的第n個出現(位置)

有兩個“查找”公式可以幫助您從單元格中的文本字符串中快速查找特定字符的第n個出現或位置。

下面的公式將向您顯示如何在單元格A3中查找“ c”的第三次出現。

查找公式1

在空白單元格中,輸入公式 = FIND(“ c”,A1,FIND(“ c”,A1)+2).

doc在文本字符串2中找到第n個位置

然後按 Enter 鍵。 已顯示第三個字母“ c”的位置。

備註:您可以根據需要更改公式中的2。 例如,如果要查找“ c”的第四個位置,可以將2更改為3。如果要找到“ c”的第一個位置,則將2更改為0。

找出公式2

在空白單元格中,輸入公式 = FIND(CHAR(1),SUBSTITUTE(A1,“ c”,CHAR(1),3)),然後按 Enter 鍵。

備註:公式中的“ 3”表示第三個“ c”,您可以根據需要進行更改。


計算單詞在Excel單元格中出現的次數

通常,如果一個單詞在一個需要計數的單元格中出現幾次,則可以將它們一一計數。 但是,如果單詞出現數百次,則手動計數很麻煩。 的 計算單詞出現的次數 功能 Excel的Kutools's 公式助手 小組可以快速計算單詞在單元格中出現的次數。 30 天內免費試用全部功能!

> 使用VBA查找單元格中字符的第n個出現位置(位置)

實際上,您可以應用VB宏輕鬆地在一個單元格中找到第n個出現或特定字符的位置。

步驟1:按住 ALT + F11 鍵,然後打開 Microsoft Visual Basic for Applications 窗口。

步驟2:點擊 插入 > 模塊,然後將以下宏粘貼到“模塊窗口”中。

VBA:找到字符的第n個位置。

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

步驟3:現在,如果要查找單元格A1中第三個“ c”位置的確切位置,請輸入公式 = FindN(“ c”,A1,3),然後按 Enter 鍵。 然後它將立即返回特定單元格中的確切位置。

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)
