Can someone please advise, how can I extract a date from a cell which
contains a date and a text.

FEDERAL HOME LN BKS CONS BD 3%0 Callable 11/11/07@100

FEDERAL NATL MTG ASSN BNCHMRK 3

I would like to have one cell contain a date 11/11/07 if it is there else
"none callable is there's no date.

FEDERAL NATL MTG ASSN BNCHMRK 3

also, how can I have a cell display only company name and not the rest of
the text.

FEDERAL HOME LN BKS

FEDERAL NATL MTG ASSN

Thank you in advance for your help

Assuming that the date format is *always* the same: mm/dd/yy, *AND* there
are no other "/" within the string.

=IF(COUNT(FIND("/",A1)),--MID(A1,FIND("/",A1)-2,8),"none")

Format the cell as DATE

also, how can I have a cell display only company name and not the rest of
the text.

So what's the company name for this:

FEDERAL HOME LN BKS CONS BD 3%0 Callable 11/11/07@100

Good luck with that!

I don't think you're going to be able to extract the company name *unless*
there is some recognizable pattern.

With all the samples you posted the name is before either CONS or BNCHMRK.
Does that pattern exist in all of your entries?
