Hi I was just wondering if I could use a formula to delete part of text in a
cell after a certain string of text appears within that cell where the number of characters before the certain text varies for example: Big Fat Cat-brown-2803 Small dog-brown-705 Large sheep-brown-106 Small cat-brown-1803 I was looking for a formula so that everything after "-brown" and "-brown" itself is is deleted. I can only think how to do this where there is a consistent number of characters before or after the phrase I want to delete, but unfortunately I don't have that luxury. Any advice would be greatly appreciated! |
