Default Search in cell

Hi,

I have done a before and after to help

I have several columns of data. Column A is blank and I want to populate it
from column B but only when column B has "WI" as the first 2 characters.
If it does copy the contents from column from position 4 in the cell into
Column A. This column then needs to be populated down until the next WI is
found in column B.

Can you help?

BEFORE

Col A Col B Col C
WI: Ab23
John data
JIM data
WI: sd34

AFTER

Col A Col B Col C
Ab23 John data
Ab23 JIM data
sd34
