You can make it less complicated by using the RIGHT function instead of MID
(see my earlier suggestion).

You could place this formula to the direct right of the cell that you want
to parse. "CELL" = the cell address to the left of the formula where the
data
is stored.

=MID(CELL,FIND("*",CELL1)+1,LEN(CELL)-FIND("*",CELL,1))

Hope its not too complicated and that it helps. HpY :)

,I have SD03*10 in a cell and I want in a separate cell, just to have the
numbers after the *. Obviously with lots of data, the digits after the *
could be 1 to many characters so I cannot use the Left function.

Any help would be greatly appreciated so I don't waste any more time!
