Splitting text in one cell and combine in a new cell
I have a text value that looks like: "FRJ.P.RJ123456(0)". I want it to to
take only the "RJ123456" piece and put it into another cell. I have tried to use the Custom feature in formatting the cell to look like "AAA.B.CCCCCCCC.DDD" And then try to use TEXT(a1,"CCCCCCCC"). But the contents in the new cell is always the whole text from Cell A1 and not just the piece I want. |
