Hello everyone,
I have this excel spreadsheet and one of the column contains notes. I want to be able to extract a specific text based on a common user.

Below is an example of what is on the notes column. These are all on one cell.

Test,Name1 10/18/2017 8:43:15 AM > FAXED
Test,Name2 11/1/2017 1:49:30 PM > this is for testing purposes only.
Test,Name1 2/20/2018 12:40:30 PM > this is for more testing.
Test,Name1 2/26/2018 10:26:51 AM > testing attached

Say if i want to extract the following: "Test,Name1 10/18/2017", "Test,Name1 2/20/2018", "Test,Name1 2/26/2018" from the notes, I need help on making the formula to extract them and save them on a new sheet. Any help is very much appreciated.

Thank you,
Jason
 
Glad I could help. Hopefully the code is straight forward and can be adapted to other situations you may have in the future. Take care.
