Hi Casey

I'm glad you were wide awake. It was my typo that omitted the "." and left
it as a space. Obviously, without the decimal point in the first find, it
found the first space after the word and gave you a string of 255 spaces
after it.

I'm pleased you were able to work it out despite my error.

Regards

Roger Govier

Roger,
The formula just removed the first word or the .11. But I thought I
could see where you were going, so I changed the first Find() from
blank to "." (decimal point) and it did just what I needed. I don't
know if the website dropped the decimal point or If you just had a
typo. Anyway, many thanks, you just saved me hours of tedious work. I'm
pretty good with number manipulation but the text stuff I need to bone
up on. Thanks again Roger. Here is my corrected version of the
formula.

IF(NOT(ISERROR(FIND(".",A1))),MID(A1,FIND(" ",A1)+1,255),A1) :)
