Find a word, then return that word plus word in front of it?

[Bullpen]

Hi everyone.

I need to find anytime a cell has the word 'floor' (not case sensitive) in it, then grab the word floor with the word before it.

For example: I have a cell that contains '1 Batesville Blvd./1st floor'. I need to be able to see if the cell has 'floor' in it (which this cell does) and then return '1st floor'.

Sometimes the cell may say ''1 Batesville Blvd./1st floor/120' and I need to be able to only pull the '1st floor' part. (the 120 refers to a room)

So far, all I have is

=IF(ISNUMBER(SEARCH("*floor*",A1)),"floor","")

which allows me to see if the cell has 'floor' in it.

Ideas? Thank you in advance for your help!!!

=IF(ISNUMBER(SEARCH("floor",A1)),REPLACE(LEFT(A1,SEARCH("floor",A1)+4),1,FIND("/",A1),""),"")
