In using the FIND function, how can I make the it look at the second space in text that I'm extracting from? I'm trying to return the text after the second space in the orginal text.

Thanks

Customize Quick Access Toolbar. From All Commands, add Speak Cells or Speak Cells on Enter to QAT. Select cells. Press Speak Cells.
Something like this ?

=RIGHT(A1,LEN(A1)-FIND(" ",SUBSTITUTE(A1," ","",1))-1)


I'm using the SUBSTITUTE to replace the first space with nothing, and then, use the RIGHT function to extract the right portion of the text...

The FIND(..) function I posted in the previous post should give you (-1) the position of the second space in the string of A1, you can use that number to return the text you want.
