Find text within text
Ron,
That works great except I should have added another row as some of the
rows do not have the @ symbol. Here is an example of a row without the @
symbol: 05/08/2005 Seattle L 4-6 R. Franklin (R) W. Miller (R) -140/10u
-125 L/P
How would I change the formula? Thanks for your help.

Try something like this:
D1: =TRIM(MID(LEFT(A1,MIN(SEARCH({" W "," L "},A1&" W L
"))-2),SEARCH("@",A1)+2,255))
Notice the spaces before and after the W's and the L's
Copy that formula down as far as you need.
Does that help?

I would like cells D1:D4 to find the team in cells A1:A4 and enter that into
D1:D4. Any idea how to do this? Thanks.
