find and remove a string of a cell value with comma as delimiter
 

can anyone help me on this?
i have columns of data which has the format of (something1,something2,
something3, others)
the string "somthing1", "somthing2", "somthing3" are consistent, and
not all may appear at the same time, while the part "others" may vary.
I want to extract the "others" part, if the cell has
how can i do this in a macro?
i donot want to modify the original cell, but will store the "others"
in another sheet

If you goto
the top file menu
data=text to columns
then select what you want, this will do exactly what you are asking
