How can I copy characters from a cell that follow a hypen
I have a cell that has data followed by a hyphen then more data.
EX 12345-ABC456123-more data I want to copy the first three characters that follow the hyphen so my cell looks like: EX ABC What formula will look to the original cell and remove all the info but keep the three characters I need? |
