![]() First and foremost thank you for taking a look at this post. Any help will be greatly appreciated. I am a novice Excel user trying to learn more about it and am experimenting with statements and formulas and I have run into a snag for which I can't get around. In the following working formula =IF(ISERROR(MID('Raw Data'!A1,FIND(" ",'Raw Data'!A1)+4,100))," ",MID('Raw Data'!A1,FIND(" ",'Raw Data'!A1)+4,100)) I get a result of "THIS IS A TEST OF THE EMERGNECY BROADCAST SYSTEM 8PM.P3.IF THIS WERE AN ACTUAL EMERGENCY ........" for example. What I am trying to do is add to this formula so I get ""THIS IS A TEST OF THE EMERGNECY BROADCAST SYSTEM" only . In the text that follows "SYSTEM" the only value that does not change and will always stay the same is "P3" which I figure I can use to base my find function only and reemove all characters to the right of P3 and also 4 characters to the left of P3 and lastly removing the P3 itself. I have tried combination of TRIM and LEN and hve had no luck. This is a little over my head! Thanks once again for looking at this post and providing any help you may be able to offer. |
