If I had a cell that has an address stated like this:

Number: 1921 Street name: Main st.

How do I remove the text "Number:" and the text "Street name:" and the space in between, so It just has the address: "1921 Main st."
I've been trying to use the split function in other cells, but this one has 2 colons so it's hard.


Thanks

Which Excel functions can ignore hidden rows?
The SUBTOTAL and AGGREGATE functions ignore hidden rows. AGGREGATE can also exclude error cells and more.
You could obviously run this against a range of values, not just cell A1.
VBA Code:
Sub macro_nerd()
With Range("A1")
    .Value = Replace(Replace(.Value, "Number: ", ""), "Street name: ", "")
End With
End Sub

You could just do a replace

VBA Code:
With Sheets("Sheet1")
    .Columns(1).Replace "Number: ", ""
    .Columns(1).Replace "Street name: ", ""
End With
