Extracting text from a cell

[Partsguy100]

I have a long description in my item master and want to extract the first string after the number 205 in the description. I understand the logic by following other examples but can't get it to work.


Here is the long description that is essentially a big text box. I formatted the text to at least have the numbers on the left side, but even that is hit and miss as the wrap text formatting must be selected.

I get a #VALUE ! error when I used this formula

When I copy/paste what you posted in Message #8 , the formula I posted worked fine, so there must be something about you data that got "lost" when you posted it. Can you post a copy of the workbook where my formula fails to DropBox so I can look at your real data and try and trace where the problem is?
