Pete "Marcha" wrote in message ... Thank you Pete - very useful (copy/paste)... I just had to change the commas (,) with simmi collons (;) Now I would like to get no results if the 'Code' is not there yet - if the Member is new... There comes a #Value in Cell - and want nothing - just blank. Is that possible? "Pete_UK" wrote: Put this formula in J6: =MID(F6,FIND("[",F6),FIND("]",F6)-FIND("[",F6)+1) Hope this helps. Pete "Marcha" wrote in message ... I don't know how to search for this Function - but I'm sure I have seen it. I have a text-cell - and in that cell I want to retrieve a 'Code' that is placed within the cell. The 'Code' is between a [ and ] - like: [OT] 1 june. I want the [OT] to be written in another cell in the row. (Don't wanna remove it from the current cell - just copy it) I know I can get the posistion with FIND("[";F6) and FIND("]";F6) Now I just want to place it in J6 - something like: GetText(F6;1;3) - and the result would be [OT] in the cell F6 :D Thank you for easing a lot of minds :)- Hide quoted text - - Show quoted text - |
