Try this:

=IF(LEN(A1)-LEN(SUBSTITUTE(A1,"+",""))<2,0,MID(A1,FIND("+",A1, FIND("+",A1)+1),10))

I have lots of entries that have the form "+6+2", "+4+3", "+5+1".
Is there any way to extract the second half, so the "+2", "+3", "+1" -
part ?
(Not all of the entries concerned are like that; somre simply read "+6",
"+3", "+2"; in that case the extraction should read "0")
Thanks in advance,
Gilbert
