Hi Bob,

Yes, that worked great! I was also asked if I could only populate the
center# when another cell was not null.

Address cell is: J6
Descr cell is: F18 - cell K18 should only show a value when this cell is
filled in
Center# is: K18

Could I use the ISBLANK function with the MID function to do this?

Thank you very much for your help!
Cathy

Hi Cathy,

Is this okay?

=MID(A20,FIND("# ",A20)+2,FIND(" ",A20,FIND("# ",A20)+2)-FIND("# ",A20)-2)

Hello,

I have a drop down list of names/addresses. Within this list is a center
number preceded by a "#". I'd to be able to pull the actual center# i.e.
3325 to populate into my cost center cell.

25TH STREET Center# 3325 (old 0325)
920 East 25th St
Baltimore MD 21218

Is this possible?

Thank you!
Cathy
