What can I do to find what text is between 2 spaces.

For example, I need to return OPTE in a cell that contains Anaheim OPTE C. Edwards.
 

Excel Facts

Select a hidden cell
Somehide hide payroll data in column G? Press F5. Type G1. Enter. Look in formula bar while you arrow down through G.
Try something like this...

=TRIM(MID(SUBSTITUTE(A1," ",REPT(" ", 100)),100,100))

Change the red 100 to 200 to get the 3rd word and to 300 to get the 4th word.
