I have cells that I would like the string after * parsed out into another
cell. My example of data looks like this. LOT 1 - 2ND WAVE P/N 120168715 * Precihole LOT 1.5 - 2ND WAVE P/N 101249134 * Dualong DEDS-MECH-02 P/N 500-100-005084 * Hudo DEDS-MECH-02 P/N 120158973 * Luaging So I would envision Precihole being in its own cell after the formula has run. And so on. |

select the column that has this data in it, then use the menu to choose
Data-Text to columns-delimited- and check Other and put in the asterisk Make sure there's an empty column to the right of this data "Clay" wrote: I have cells that I would like the string after * parsed out into another cell.

Try this, suppose the first example is in cell A1
=RIGHT(A1,LEN(A1)-FIND("*",A1)-1) "Clay" wrote: I have cells that I would like the string after * parsed out into another cell. My example of data looks like this.
