Hi all,

I have a sheet with where a lot of cells have text in their cell that I need to split.
See the following:

As you can see a lot of cells have "(New) Mail Periodieken" (not all cells)
I want to split that part so I tried using the =right formula but many cells have different lengths.
Data text to columns didn't help me much either. Is there a way this can happen? I need everything after "Periodieken" in a different cell, and if it does not have that specific "(New) Mail Periodieken" part then it doesn't need to split.
Assume this is column A, row 1 to 20
I hope I gave enough information, if not let me know!
Thanks in advance,
Ram
 

Excel Facts

How to total the visible cells?
From the first blank cell below a filtered data set, press Alt+=. Instead of SUM, you will get SUBTOTAL(9,)
will this work for you?

=SUBSTITUTE(A1,"(New) Mail Periodieken ",,1)
