TEXT: Vestian: Jim Cahn, Brad Anastasia LibreMax: Greg Lippmann, Fred Brettschneider, John Curran

Need: Jim Cahn, Brad Anastasia

so anything between the 1st : and "LibreMax"

thanks
 

Excel Facts

Format cells as date
Select range and press Ctrl+Shift+3 to format cells as date. (Shift 3 is the # sign which sort of looks like a small calendar).
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.
