Hi Kevin
using two helper columns (to make the formulas not that complicated) try B1: =SUBSTITUTE(SUBSTITUTE(A1," ","#",LEN(A1)-LEN(SUBSTITUTE(A1," ",""))-2)," ","^",LEN(A1)-LEN(SUBSTITUTE(A1," ",""))-2) C1: =MID(B1,FIND("#",B1)+1,FIND("^",B1)-FIND("#",B1)-1) -- Regards Frank Kabel Frankfurt, Germany "Kevin Waite" schrieb im Newsbeitrag news:nHAcc.84942$JO3.44011@attbi_s04...
