Hi
I wonder if anyone could help me with a simple formula to copy all/or part of Cell (A) contents to cell (B). In column (A) I have several hundred rows containing random length alpha numeric text strings which may contain a comma. I would like a formula to copy all of the cell contents to to column (B) if there is NO comma in the string. However if there IS a comma in the string I wish to copy only that part of the string after the comma. i.e.

A B

abcdefg1,abcdefgh2 abcdefgh2

ababababababababa ababababababababa


I hope that makes sense and someone can help

many thanks

Difference between two dates
Secret function! Use =DATEDIF(A2,B2,"Y")&" years"&=DATEDIF(A2,B2,"YM")&" months"&=DATEDIF(A2,B2,"MD")&" days"
How about
=MID(A2,IFERROR(FIND(",",A2),0)+1,LEN(A2))
