Default Substitute function

I'd like to get rid of "DES:MERCH SETL" and "CO".
COMPANY CO


I assume you want to retain the "CO" in COMPANY.

Try this (all on one line):

=TRIM(SUBSTITUTE(SUBSTITUTE(A1
," DES:MERCH SETL ","")," CO ",""))

Can anyone help me to find out how to use substitute function? Here is my
example:

Description: BANKCARD DES:MERCH SETL ID:1xxxxxxxxxxx,INDN:ABC COMPANY
CO ID:1AAAAAAAAA CCD

I'd like to get rid of "DES:MERCH SETL" and "CO". Here is my formula
=TRIM(SUBSTITUTE(SUBSTITUE(B6,"DES:MERCH SETL","","CO",""))

Any susgessions? Thanks.
