Multiple Find and Replace in one function
I'm wondering how I can clean one column of text using multiple find
arguments. This is what I have so far: =MID(B3,1,FIND(" Corp.",B3,1)-1) In addition to " Corp." I want to remove " Inc.", " Co." and a couple other ones. Any help is much appreciated. |

Try this:
=SUBSTITUTE(SUBSTITUTE(SUBSTITUTE(A1," Corp. ","")," Inc. ","")," Co. ","") Note that Substitute is case sensitive. <spcorp.<sp will not match <spCorp.<sp Biff wrote in message ups.com...
