Put this formula in J6:

=MID(F6,FIND("[",F6),FIND("]",F6)-FIND("[",F6)+1)

Hope this helps.

I don't know how to search for this Function - but I'm sure I have seen it.

I have a text-cell - and in that cell I want to retrieve a 'Code' that is
placed within the cell. The 'Code' is between a [ and ] - like: [OT] 1
june.
I want the [OT] to be written in another cell in the row. (Don't wanna
remove it from the current cell - just copy it)
I know I can get the posistion with FIND("[";F6) and FIND("]";F6)
Now I just want to place it in J6 - something like: GetText(F6;1;3) - and
the result would be [OT] in the cell F6 :D

Thank you for easing a lot of minds :)
