Good 'moro!
I'm working on a project in which I have become stumped. I'm here in hope that what I'm trying to do is in fact possible. I'm trying to use a formula to search a cell in such a way that it will pick out the first word on the last line. Specifically, it will be the time stamp in the format of XX:XX:XX. I'll give you an understanding of how that cell will look:
[Time] [Name A]: [Text]
[Time] [Name B]: [Text]
[Time] [Name A]: [Text]
[Time] [Name B]: [Text]
I have been experimenting with some code but I have been unsuccessful with achieving the desired results. I've used
Is this an achievable goal? Just to make matters more complicated, I would also need to find the time from the second-to-last line separately too. One step at a time though, right?
Thanks in advance for any advice!

which is perfect for selecting the time from the first line. I have tried some other functions such as RIGHT, ISERR, TRIM and SUBSTITUTE without luck on the last line too.=LEFT(A2,FIND(" ",A2&" "))
