Hi,
I have a column in a worksheet that contains some rule names (8 letter words) with their condition descriptions. I do not need those descriptions for the computations that i do in the workbook via a macro. I only need the 8 letter words which i need to pass to a function in my macro code. I have 19 such rules (all rule name are represented as 8 letter codes).
For example,
Rule1 - Desc1
Rule2 - Desc2
Rule3 - Desc3
...
The thing i'm puzzled about is if 2 or more rules out of these 19 (which generate records which i process) fire records in combination, i need to filter out those rule codes into a separate column and find out the rule code that is new (which i should do by checking the rule's date).
How can i extract the rule's 8 letter code(s) from the column and check whether the rule is new or not?
Sample (which i need to check)
Rule1 - Desc1; Rule2 - Desc2; ...
Thanks for any suggestions/help are welcome.
