The Store could be 1 digit, 2 or 3 long and I just want to strip:

10_A

out of this string, what the best way ? (formula)

Store_10_A_TEST_2011_PROJECT_SEC04_PLIST.xls

Could be 222_B..

Thanks!

Use Data, What-If Analysis, Goal Seek to find the correct input cell value to reach a desired result
If the strings are always like
Store_....

maybe

=MID(A1,7,SEARCH("#",SUBSTITUTE(A1,"_","#",3))-7)
