Pasting data following the last " " in a cell
I have a column which contains data separated by " " in two or more
locations within each cell. I need to paste the farthest right data into another cell. Example: Names Places Cities etc. I have searched the Posts her for an idea but nothing gets the desired result. I have even tried replacing " " with " " but there still are two or more of these. Any ideas would be greatly appreciated. -- Best wishes, Jim |

Sounds like you need the InStrRev() function. It finds the LAST instance of a
search string within a source string, but the return value is relative to the regular order. strC = "Names Places Cities" intRev = InStrRev(strC,"") strLast = Trim(Mid(strC,intRev + 1)) Range("D3").Value = strLast -- Hmm...they have the Internet on COMPUTERS now!

It works perfectly!
Thank you. This has been about to drive me more nuts than I already am. It just goes to show, no matter how much one thinks he has learned, the surface has only begun to be scratched. -- Best wishes, Jim "MDW" wrote: Sounds like you need the InStrRev() function.
