Seperate the data from the Cell
I have few hundred data in column A. Each cell contain 2 to 3 words. I want
last word from cell in another cell. I have tried right(), left() functions but I'm not getting my desired output, because the length of last word is not uniform. Following example will clarify more. A B XXX YYY YYY XXXX YYYY YYYY XX YY YY XXX YYY YYY XXXX YYYY YYYY XX YY YY Column A is my existing data and column B is desired one. Please help.

=MID(A1,FIND("~",SUBSTITUTE(A1," ","~",LEN(A1)-LEN(SUBSTITUTE(A1,"
",""))))+1, 255) and copy down -- HTH RP (remove nothere from the email address if mailing direct) "Akhilesh Dalia" wrote in message ... I have few hundred data in column A.

It might be the NG screwing up my post. It should all be on one line, the
bit that spans 2 lines should have a space between the quotes, that is it should end with A1," ",""))))+1, 255) -- HTH RP (remove nothere from the email address if mailing direct) "Akhilesh Dalia" wrote in message ... Thanks Bob, but it is not working. I got following message in B1 #VALUE! Again your help is required.
