Formula for duplicating info from one cell to another
I'd like information that I input into a cell to be automatically output into
another cell. So, for example, In one cell I input the following information: HWC65917 P Science / Health & Medical Sciences / Human Anatomy & Physiology / Human Systems / Immune/Lymphatic System / Diseases & Disorders / Other Lymphatic Disorders In the cell next to it I'd like it to automatically output Science / Health & Medical Sciences / Human Anatomy & Physiology / Human Systems / Immune/Lymphatic System / Diseases & Disorders / Other Lymphatic Disorders by excluding the HWC65917 P. Is this possible? Thanks. |

With the string in A1 and as shown in your example then this should work by
extracting everything after the second space =MID(A1,FIND(" ",A1,FIND(" ",A1,1)+1)-1,LEN(A1)) Mike "Timbo" wrote: I'd like information that I input into a cell to be automatically output into another cell.

Formula for duplicating info from one cell to another
Hey Mike H,
I'm not familiar with that particular use of a formula, so I have to plead ignorance here. Your formula almost worked, but included the P after the numerical code and before the word Science. I don't want the P.

Formula for duplicating info from one cell to another
I figure out how to get rid of the P (changed the -1 to a +1). However, I
have different sets of HWC#s with different amounts of digits, and some HWC#s don't have the P. Your formula only takes into account five digit HWC#. I have literally over 10,000 of these and I would like to automate this process a bit so I don't have to cut and paste every time. Here are some examples of different HWC#s: HWC65841 P Science / Health & Medical Sciences / Human Anatomy & Physiology / Human Systems / Excretory (Urinary) System / Diseases & Disorders / Bladder & Kidney Cancer HWC9318 Science / Health & Medical Sciences / Human Anatomy & Physiology / Human Systems / Excretory (Urinary) System HWC9591 P Science / Health & Medical Sciences / Human Anatomy & Physiology / Human Systems / Circulatory System / Reference / Images "Timbo" wrote: Hey Mike H, I'm not familiar with that particular use of a formula, so I have to plead ignorance here.

Actually, after having fooled with it for a while, I notice that any amount
of digits work. However, it is a string that doesn't have the P in it that becomes a problem. For example With you formula these two disparate digit strings work 1) HWC39758 P Science / Health & Medical Sciences / Anatomy & Physiology / Human Systems / Immune/Lymphatic System / Immune/Lymphatic System Basics & Overviews Science / Health & Medical Sciences / Anatomy & Physiology / Human Systems / Immune/Lymphatic System / Immune/Lymphatic System Basics & Overviews 2) HWC39 P Science / Health & Medical Sciences / Anatomy & Physiology / Human Systems / Immune/Lymphatic System / Reference Science / Health & Medical Sciences / Anatomy & Physiology / Human Systems / Immune/Lymphatic System / Reference However, when the P is excluded in a string, the results excludes the word Science HWC56331 Science / Health & Medical Sciences / Anatomy & Physiology / Human Systems / Integumentary System / Health & Medical Sciences / Anatomy & Physiology / Human Systems / Integumentary System How do I get around this?
