OK. You could do two Replaces followed by a Text to Columns. For
instance,

1) replace all "%" with "^$^REPLACE_ME^$^" (or some other unique phrase)
2) replace all "EXCLUDES" with "%"
3) Data/Text to Columns, splitting at "%"
4) replace "^$^REPLACE_ME^$^" with "%"

I need to find a string of text within my cell and parse it there.
