I can find first - in a cell by using following formula

=Find("-",A10)

how can i find the second and third?
 

Excel Facts

What is the shortcut key for Format Selection?
Ctrl+1 (the number one) will open the Format dialog for whatever is selected.
How high do you want to go? For the 2nd you can use

=FIND("-",A1,FIND("-",A1)+1)

but that would get longer for 3rd or 4th

For 3rd you could use this

=FIND("^^",SUBSTITUTE(A1,"-","^^",3))

change 3 to whatever instance you need
