Hi, So i am trying to create an Excel template were I can export data out of an ERP and paste it in an excel template to help extra the start and end dates. The first row shows you what im trying to pull out of the data from Paste Info column. For the most part there will always be ". . . ." before the start of the Start Date but after the End date could be different based on term. I have started with =RIGHT(Y2,(FIND("....",Y2,1)-6)) to tjust try some things but am getting stumped after this.

Thanks for Any help in advanced.
