Extract all text to right of last remaining dash in string

[Sean15]

Hello:

I want to extract all text to the right of the last remaining dash in a string.

Sheet1 lookup values in column F are:
2854261-160-587-P00791
758524-176-365-P00807.09

Sheet2 required values in range G2:G100 are:
P00791
P00807.09

In M2 sheet1 I have the following formula:
=INDEX(sheet2!$G$2:$G$100,MATCH(RIGHT(F2,FIND("-",F2)-1),sheet2!$E$2:$E$100,0))

Formula is returning required value P00791 for lookup value 2854261-160-587-P00791.
Formula is returning #N/A for lookup 758524-176-365-P00807.09.
It should have returned P00807.09

Could you help please?

Sean

hello:

There's a bit of miss information in post #1.

Sheet2 required values in range G2:G100 are:
Tom Jones
David Jones

Sheet2 lookup array in range E2:E100

P00791 P00807.09

Formula is returning required value Tom Jones for lookup value 2854261-160-587-P00791
Formula is returning #N/A for lookup 758524-176-365-P00807.09
It should have returned David Jones

Sorry for confusion

Try:
Sheet1

Book1
	F	G	H	I	J	K	L	M
1
2	2854261-160-587-P00791							Tom Jones
3	758524-176-365-P00807.09							David Jones
Sheet1

Cell Formulas
Range	Formula
M2:M3	M2	=INDEX(Sheet2!$G$2:$G$100,MATCH(RIGHT(Sheet1!F2,LEN(Sheet1!F2)-SEARCH("\",SUBSTITUTE(Sheet1!F2,"-","\",LEN(Sheet1!F2)-LEN(SUBSTITUTE(Sheet1!F2,"-",""))))),Sheet2!$E$2:$E$100))

Sheet2

Book1
	E	F	G
1
2	P00791		Tom Jones
3	P00807.09		David Jones
Sheet2

An alternative (with same Sheet2 as in post #3)

Sean15.xlsm
	F							M
1
2	2854261-160-587-P00791							Tom Jones
3	758524-176-365-P00807.09							David Jones
Sheet1

Cell Formulas
Range	Formula
M2:M3	M2	=VLOOKUP(TRIM(RIGHT(SUBSTITUTE(F2,"-",REPT(" ",30)),30)),Sheet2!E$2:G$100,3,0)

 

[Sean15]

Thank you very much. I have decided to use the shorter formula.

You're welcome. Glad we could help. Thanks for the follow-up.

It works for "P00791" with/without "-" prefix, or/and it is in middle of string, like:
XXX-XXX-P00791
XXX-XXX-P00791-YYY
XXX-XXXP00791
XXX-XXXP00791YYY

Book2
	F	G	H	I	J	K	L	M
2	2854261-160-587-P00791							Tom Jones
3	758524-176-365-P00807.09							David Jones
Sheet1

Cell Formulas
Range	Formula
M2:M3	M2	=LOOKUP(2,1/ISNUMBER(SEARCH(Sheet2!$E$2:$E$3,F2)),Sheet2!$G$2:$G$3)

Book2
	E	F	G
2	P00791		Tom Jones
3	P00807.09		David Jones
Sheet2

and it is in middle of string,

The question clearly stated (and included examples to show) that was not the case

extract all text to the right of the last remaining dash in a string

The question clearly stated (and included examples to show) that was not the case

I dont think so! Maybe he/she want to say with:

(1) statement:
"I want to extract all text to the right of the last remaining dash in a string."
It means "XXX-YYY-ZZZ" ===> "ZZZ"
Thats what your formula did (get strings after last "-")

And:
(2) statement:
"Sheet2 required values in range G2:G100 are:
P00791
P00807.09"

to said that text could be:
XXX-YYY-ZZZ
XXX-YYY-P00791

My solution is "general", reply to any scenarios.

I dont think so!

I could be wrong, but the post #5 comments and the fact that post #4 is marked as the accepted solution seems to confirm it for me.
