So i have a unique issue that i don't have the slightest clue how to solve. So in column C i need to seperate "Pirelli Scorpion A/S" , "Pirelli PZero Nero GT", "Lexani LXHT-106". Basically the first item is a size which we need to exclude xxx/xxRxx or xxx xxRxx and then followed by what i need: the description. followed by a load, speed, and style which need to be exluded. Unfortunately some of the things are irregular like line 30. what i need is "Azenis FK510"

i know this looks all over the place but here are some helpful notes:
  1. A/T, H/T, M/T, A/S are included in the descriptions i need
  2. The load/speed to exclude are located in rows E and F
  3. XL, BLK, SL, MO, NO, N0, MO on the ends or immediately after the size should be excluded.
I will link the excel sheet in case there is anything i missed that you can spot. Any help would be GREATLY appreciated.

When they said...
When they said you are going to "Excel at life", they meant you "will be doing Excel your whole life".
Try
=Left(Trim(Right(C2,Len(C2)-Len(D2))),Search(E2,Trim(Right(C2,Len(C2)-Len(D2))))

Your solution (column J) works for some of them, but i'm thinking this may be a VBA solution. example: on line 1 there is a +!, #Value is returned on ones where XL is in the front, etc. It does help clean up and make my job easier though <3 appreciated.
