=RIGHT(A1,10) will pull out the 10 character product ID to a separate
column.

Then, highlight column A and do Edit Replace FindWhat: ///MPS-???-??
will delete that character group from the original column.

My entire database from QuickBooks combines the categories with the
products,
which is fine. I can get the text to look almost exactly how it needs to
be
to be uploaded to our e-commerce site; the only thing we need to do is
seperate the characters after the last /// in each cell for the entire
column
(which is the actual product ID). Here are a few samples:

SENSORS///Pressure & Vacuum///MPS-1 Basic///MPS-P1G-PC

SENSORS///Pressure & Vacuum///MPS-V2C-NC

The characters at the end are always the product id's which we need
seperated, and have the last "///" removed. So it will look like this:

SENSORS///Pressure & Vacuum///MPS-1 Basic (then in the next column)
MPS-P1G-PC

SENSORS///Pressure & Vacuum (then in the next column) MPS-V2C-NC

If I could just extract the the character after the last /// that would be
fine, I could then Text To Column the categories and put them back without
the last /// on the end. But if I could cut that out as well that would
save
me a step. With over 15K products this will save a massive amount of
time.
Thank you very much for any help.
