Truncating a text string
I would like to set up a formula that references a string in another cell but
truncates the beginning, middle, or end of it. The cell containing the data
always has five names separated by four commas, as shown below
Example:
A1 = Contains the text string "Simmons, Bogut, Magloire, Ford, Redd"
B1 = Want a formula that returns only the last two names in A1, "Ford, Redd"
C1 = Want a formula that returns only the first three names in A1, "Simmons,
Bogut, Magloire"
D1 = Want a formula that returns only the third name in A1, "Magloire"
Thank you for your help,
Bob
