Hi all. I am have a little trouble. I have a column in my data set that is formatted below:
MUS 5 - BULK - PAC
I need to pull only the text out in between the two dashes.
I think this is all the info you need but please let me know!
 

Excel Facts

Format cells as date
Select range and press Ctrl+Shift+3 to format cells as date. (Shift 3 is the # sign which sort of looks like a small calendar).
Sort by date Sort by votes
Try this:
Code: 
Trim(Mid([MyField],InStr([MyField],"-")+1,InStrRev([MyField],"-")-InStr([MyField],"-")-1))
where MyField is the name of your field.
