Greetings,

I have a column of text that has a "_" in the middle of the text.
This "_" is in different places in these cells. *I want to get all of
the text after these "_" and have it show up in the adjacent cells.

I took a look at Left, Right and Mid, but they don't seem to be able
to start with a character only a position.

Is there anyway to use a character to start character retrieval
instead of position?

Any help would be appreciated.

Hi Minitman,

This should do it for you.

MyString = ActiveCell.Value
PartString = Mid(MyString, InStr(MyString, "_") + 1, _
Len(MyString) - (InStr(MyString, "_")))

Hey Steven,

Thanks for the reply.

My mistake, I forgot to mention that I need a cell formula, not a vba
solution.

Thanks for trying.
