Excel Facts

Is there a shortcut key for strikethrough?
Ctrl+S is used for Save. Ctrl+5 is used for Strikethrough. Why Ctrl+5? When you use hashmarks to count |||| is 4, strike through to mean 5.
One way to do it...

=MID(REPLACE(A1,SEARCH("LibreMax:",A1)-1,999,""),FIND(":",A1)+2,99)

This would work:

Code:
=LEFT(RIGHT(A1,LEN(A1)-SEARCH(":",A1,1)-1),SEARCH(" LibreMax:",RIGHT(A1,LEN(A1)-SEARCH(":",A1,1)-1),1)-1)
Hope this helps,

Chris.

Hi

Do you need it done with formulas/code?
You could instead use Find/Replace directly.
