Default Breaking out data in a cell

Howdy,

I reckon you could use

=LEFT(A1,FIND("of",A1)-4)

to get the first set of digits and

=MID(A1,FIND("of",A1)+3,100)

to get the latter chunk, where A1 is the cell with the data you want
to parse.

cheers,
..o.

Hi folks,

I download a lot of stats via web queries. One set of stats includes 100 or
so cells in a single column with random data like "74th of 9354" without the
quotes. Can someone help me with a formula to break out the separate numbers
74 & 9354 in the columns to the right, so that I can average those 100 or so
cells?

Thanks for any help you can provide.

Bob
