Current text in C13: Down 174.69 (1.25%)
Desired Text in D13: 174.69 Desired Text in E13: 1.25 What formulas can I put in D13 and E13 to get the desired text? |
formula for separating parts of cells
In Cell B1: =FIND(" ",C13,1) find the first blank in your string
In Cell C1: =FIND(" ",C13,B1+1) find the next blank In Cell D13: =VALUE(MID(C13,B1+1,C1-B1-1)) extract between the two blanks In Cell E1: =FIND("(",C13) In Cell F1: =FIND(")",C13) In Cell E13: =VALUE(MID(C13,E1+1,F1-E1-1)) If you want to avoid the intermediate cells, feel free to replace their value with formulas in D13 and E13, something like: D13: = =VALUE(MID(C13,FIND(" ",C13,1)+1,FIND(" ",C13,FIND(" ",C13,1)+1)-FIND(" ",C13,1)-1)), but it is hardly undersandable and make sheet maintenance more difficult, in my humble opinion.

When I use that formula I get: 6513
I need the comma and the decimal. 6,513. "Toppers" wrote: =Left(B13,LEN(B13)-4) to remove last 3 digits +"," "Jamie" wrote: One more please.

formula for separating parts of cells
currently in cell E5 = MACPAC VER 10 PGMR *Keep Profile* Clarksville
how do i extract the last word in this cell? the legnth could vary which is why I tried using this formula. In fact I put the formula in my spreadsheet to see if I could it to extract anything and i got an error message. So now I just want to know how to alter the formula to extract either the last or third from the last word. in my spreadsheet: in cell B1 ==FIND(" ",E5,1) in cell C1 =FIND(" ",E5,B1+1) in cell D1 =VALUE(MID(E5,B1+1,C1-B1-1)) This is where I stopped because cell D1 returns error message #value.

Hi,
For the first word, try this =left(E5,search(" ",E5)-1). This assumes that there will be a space after the first word -- Regards, Ashish Mathur Microsoft Excel MVP www.ashishmathur.com "confused!!" wrote in message ... that worked wonderfully.

also let's assume (i) there is no space (ii) there is a space after the word

For relatively short text strings...
=TRIM(MID(SUBSTITUTE(E5," ",REPT(" ",999)),999*4-998,999*2)) In the formula above, the "4" is first word you want, the "2" is the number of words you want. So this would return "PGMR *Keep". confused!! wrote: that worked wonderfully. One more time how do I extract the first and second word only?
