Hello, starting from this sheet with column A (title, responsibility, publisher) I would need a formula that extracts only the publisher in column C. I used this formula:

Rich (BB code):
= LEFT (MID (A2, FIND ("-", A2) +1, LEN (A2)), FIND (",", MID (A2, FIND ("-", A2) +1, LEN (A2))) ) -1)

but column C gives me the place of publication and the publisher. I would like instead only the publisher.

Many thanks!!
 

Excel Facts

Which came first: VisiCalc or Lotus 1-2-3?
Dan Bricklin and Bob Frankston debuted VisiCalc in 1979 as a Visible Calculator. Lotus 1-2-3 debuted in the early 1980's, from Mitch Kapor.
How about
Excel Formula:
=LET(a,REPLACE(A2,1,FIND("- ",A2)+1,""),LEFT(a,FIND(" ",a)-1))

Excel Formula:
=LET(a,REPLACE(A2,1,FIND("- ",A2)+1,""),LEFT(a,FIND(" ",a)-1))
Sorry, I haven't got Excel, is there a similar formula working on Google Sheets?
Thanks very much!

When asking questions for any spreadsheet other than Excel you need to make that clear. Also such questions should be posted in the General Discussion & Other Applications section of the board.

I have done that for you this time.

I apologize for not having pointed out. I tried your formula:

=SINISTRA(RIMPIAZZA(A2;1;TROVA("- ";A2)+1;"");TROVA(" ";RIMPIAZZA(A2;1;TROVA("- ";A2)+1;""))-1)

but it gives me the place of publication, not the publisher.

In that case what should be returned (and please don't say the publisher)?

In C2 should not return Bari (place of piublishing) but Laterza (publisher); in C3 should not return Roma but Cooper...

Ok, how about
Excel Formula:
=MID(REPLACE(A2,FIND(",",A2),LEN(A2),""),FIND(":",REPLACE(A2,FIND(",",A2),LEN(A2),""),FIND("-",REPLACE(A2,FIND(",",A2),LEN(A2),"")))+2,LEN(A2))

=MID(REPLACE(A2,FIND(",",A2),LEN(A2),""),FIND(":",REPLACE(A2,FIND(",",A2),LEN(A2),""),FIND("-",REPLACE(A2,FIND(",",A2),LEN(A2),"")))+2,LEN(A2))
Wao, great! Is this formula working on MS Excel too (I want to try it at work)?
Thanks again!!!
