I need to remove numbers from end of string if count of numbers(characters) > 8
I have used the below functions , but it remove all numbers from the string.
So, How this function can be modified to add a condition if count of numbers(characters) > 8
In advance, grateful for any helpful comments and answers.
Option Explicit
Function StripNumber(stdText As String)
Dim str As String, i As Integer
stdText = Trim(stdText)
For i = 1 To Len(stdText)
If Not IsNumeric(Mid(stdText, i, 1)) Then
str = str & Mid(stdText, i, 1)
End If
Next i
StripNumber = str ' * 1
End Function
Function Remove_Number(Text As String) As String
With CreateObject("VBScript.RegExp")
.Global = True
.Pattern = "[0-9]"
Remove_Number = .Replace(Text, "")
End With
End Function

You can use
\d{8,}(?=\.\w $)
\d{8,}(?=\.[^.] $)
Formula in B2
:
=LET(X,TEXTBEFORE(A2,".",-1),Y,TEXTAFTER(A2,X),Z,TEXTAFTER(CONCAT(".",IFERROR(--MID(X,SEQUENCE(LEN(X)),1),".")),".",-1),IF(LEN(Z)>8,SUBSTITUTE(A2,Z&Y,Y),A2))
Or, if there are no leading zeros in these numbers:
=LET(X,TEXTBEFORE(A2,".",-1),Y,TEXTAFTER(A2,X),Z,MAX(IFERROR(--MID(X,SEQUENCE(LEN(X)),LEN(X)),"")),IF(LEN(Z)>8,SUBSTITUTE(A2,Z&Y,Y),A2))
Or; a spilled array:
Formula in B2
:
=BYROW(A2:A6,LAMBDA(a,LET(X,TEXTBEFORE(a,".",-1),Y,TEXTAFTER(a,X),Z,TEXTAFTER(CONCAT(".",IFERROR(--MID(X,SEQUENCE(LEN(X)),1),".")),".",-1),IF(LEN(Z)>8,SUBSTITUTE(a,Z&Y,Y),a))))
Or:
=BYROW(A2:A6,LAMBDA(a,LET(X,TEXTBEFORE(a,".",-1),Y,TEXTAFTER(a,X),Z,MAX(IFERROR(--MID(X,SEQUENCE(LEN(X)),LEN(X)),"")),IF(LEN(Z)>8,SUBSTITUTE(a,Z&Y,Y),a))))
