I have tried the formula below (from this forum) though am coming unstuck and it is not returning what I want. =RIGHT(R2,FIND("DUE ",R2&"DUE ")) The above formula gives me this result ... 26642 SITE: SOJ Shotover Jet HQ DUE 4/11/09 16:09 TIA ... -- Sue Compelling |

Hi,
Looking at this again it seems you may want the time also so if that's the case use this =TRIM(MID(R2,SEARCH("due",R2)+3,256)) Mike "Mike H" wrote: Hi Sue, try this =TRIM(MID(R2,SEARCH("due",R2)+3,9)) Mike "Sue Compelling" wrote: Hi I have cells that are populated by a data dump from a work management system and the text will always appear in a preformatted manner eg: VODAFONE P3 INC526642 SITE: SOJ Shotover Jet HQ DUE 4/11/09 16:09 I want to select the date only from this string - which will always appear after the word DUE ..

Its a bit lenghty; but should work for different date formats..
=--LEFT(SUBSTITUTE(MID(A1,SEARCH(" DUE ",A1&" DUE ")+5,255), " ",REPT(" ",255)),12) If this post helps click Yes --------------- Jacob Skaria "Sue Compelling" wrote: Hi I have cells that are populated by a data dump from a work management system and the text will always appear in a preformatted manner eg: VODAFONE P3 INC526642 SITE: SOJ Shotover Jet HQ DUE 4/11/09 16:09 I want to select the date only from this string - which will always appear after the word DUE ..

Hi,
Try this =INT(RIGHT(B14,LEN(B14)-SEARCH("Due",B14)-3)) Format the cell as date. -- Regards, Ashish Mathur Microsoft Excel MVP www.ashishmathur.com "Sue Compelling" wrote in message ...
