What is =ROMAN(40) in Excel?
The Roman numeral for 40 is XL. Bill "MrExcel" Jelen's 40th book was called MrExcel XL.

Unfortunately, that is bringing back the numeric - 2005, and not the text. Any other thoughts?

If *not* the same format every time, this worked for me:
Book1
ABCD
12005JOHNSONGEORGEJOHNSONGEORGE
2135791SMITHTIMSMITHTIM
359JONESDONJONESDON
Sheet1


Formula in B1 is:
=MID(A1,FIND(" ",A1)+1,LEN(A1)-(FIND(" ",A1)-1))

and then just copied down.
