Hi!
I have a question and was hoping someone would be kind enough to help me. I am trying to select some text within a field separated by tags like: [tag1] I have tried this formula: =MID(LEFT(D1,FIND("#", SUBSTITUTE(D1,"[","#",4))-1), FIND("[External",D1)+1, 255) And it works great, except that some of the text is separated with a carriage return after [tag1]. i.e. Instead of [tag1]Blah blah blah I have: [tag1] Blah blah blah Ultimately, the best way to get this is to pull the text between [tag1] and [tag2]. How would I go about doing this? If it's not possible, how can I adapt my equation to accomodate the carriage returns? Thank you so much for any help! |
