Extract words from cell that are exactly 10 characters long and contain number and letter

Question

I have a list of Lenovo products. I am looking for a way to extract their Product number from it.

The number may sit anywhere in the cell.
The number is 10 characters long, it always contains both numbers and letters and no special characters between them.
Sometimes the number is in brackets or has some special characters before or after (like - _ " < etc.).
I don't need them, I am looking for exactly 10 letters or digits and have at least 1 digit in it.
In the last line from the example there are two words with 10 characters - THINKCENTRE and 12Q6000AGE. THINKCENTRE doesn't contain a number, so it should be excluded.

Input	Desired result
LEGION T5 (90SV003WGE)	90SV003WGE
FLEX 5 (82R700BEGE) XKLUSIV	82R700BEGE
V17-IRU 83A2001NGE	83A2001NGE
LENOVO E16 G1 21JT000HGE_WIN 11	21JT000HGE
LENOVO THINKCENTRE M70T 12Q6000AGE I7-12	12Q6000AGE
IDEAPAD 3 17ALC6	0 or empty

I tried different formulas but it gives me various results. I managed to find a way to extract the longest word, but very often this number isn't the longest and/or includes a lot of characters for cleanup.

Answer 1

Starting assumptions:

• Substrings of 10 characters only;
• Substrings only contain characters [A-Z0-9]
• Contains at least one digit [0-9];
• Contains at least one character [A-Z].

DAF:

You could try to split your input on anything that isn't alphanumeric. That can be achieved with a double TEXTSPLIT() rather easy. Now you can check these substrings against your criteria using some boolean structure. For example:

Formula in B2:

=MAP(A2:A8,LAMBDA(s,LET(i,SEQUENCE(36)-1,r,TEXTSPLIT(s,TEXTSPLIT(s,BASE(i,36),,1)),TEXTJOIN(", ",,REPT(r,ISERR(-r)*(TEXTBEFORE(r&0,i)<>r)*(LEN(r)=10))))))

UDF:

You can also use an UDF applying some regular expression to extract the same as the above:

Public Function RegexMatch(s As String) As String

Static RE As Object: If RE Is Nothing Then Set RE = CreateObject("vbscript.regexp")

RE.Pattern = "(?:\b|_)(?!\d+\b|[A-Z]+\b)([A-Z\d]{10})(?:\b|_)"
RE.Global = True

Set REMatches = RE.Execute(s)
If REMatches.Count > 0 Then
    For Each Match In REMatches
        If RegexMatch = "" Then
            RegexMatch = Match.Submatches(0)
        Else
            RegexMatch = RegexMatch & ", " & Match.Submatches(0)
        End If
    Next
Else
    RegexMatch = vbNullString
End If

End Function

The pattern's explaination can be found here

You can invoke the UDF using: =RegexMatch(A2) or embedded in a MAP(A2:A8,LAMBDA(s,RegexMatch(s))) structure.
