Each item of data is a set of words
The words are separated by a space. In some of your examples, you need the last word in the set to be encapsulated by single quotes. In other examples, you need the last two words to be encapsulated. How can the formula determine which result to produce?? -- Gary''s Student - gsnu200908 "Gotroots" wrote: I have a list of plant names that need a single quote inserted at the appropriate location as the examples show.

Are you saying there is no formula however complex will determine this?

Describe how a computer program would know why this is correct:
Symphoricarpos x doorenbosii 'Mother of Pearl' instead of: Symphoricarpos x doorenbosii Mother 'of Pearl' or this: Symphoricarpos x doorenbosii Mother of 'Pearl' Gotroots wrote: Are you saying there is no formula however complex will determine this?

Ok, point taken.
How about then first separating the text that needs to be enclosed in single quotes. Apart from the initial capitalization of a plant name where a capitalization begins would be the point where the separation would begin. Here is an example Symphoricarpos x doorenbosii Mother of Pearl Mother of Pearl Once separated Mother of Pearl (the value) would perhaps then be more easily enclosed in single quotes.

That helps. Try this array formula (commit with CTRL+SHIFT+ENTER):
=LEFT(A1,MATCH(1,(CODE(MID(A1,ROW($2:$99),1))64)* (CODE(MID(A1,ROW($2:$99),1))<91),0))&"'"& MID(A1,MATCH(1,(CODE(MID(A1,ROW($2:$99),1))64)* (CODE(MID(A1,ROW($2:$99),1))<91),0)+1,LEN(A1))&"'" Probably not optimized very well, but it seems to work.
