Excel Facts

Which Excel functions can ignore hidden rows?
The SUBTOTAL and AGGREGATE functions ignore hidden rows. AGGREGATE can also exclude error cells and more.
should be in XL Questions forum - not elegant but works

assuming Miller, Andre (PG-Den) in A1
in B1 enter
=MID(A1,FIND("-",A1)+1,LEN(A1)-(FIND("-",A1))-1)

will give Den

Copy formula down for other strings to get NY etc...
