Extract all text after , in a cell

[Dan_D]

Hi all,

I'm trying to extract all the text in a cell which is on the right side of a comma (,)

Currently I am using this formula,

=RIGHT(C1,FIND(",",C1)-1)

However it sometimes is missing some of the data after the , and sometimes pulling a few characters before the ,

any suggestions on how to correct my formula please?

Thanks in advance.

Hi. Try

=TRIM(RIGHT(C1,LEN(C1)-FIND(",",C1)))

Hi VoG,

many thanks for your help, I have 2 questions for you please.

1- This copies the data but can it "take" the data (so it no longer exists in the original cell?
2. if the cell has more then 1 x , can it simply take the data after the last ,?

Thanks for your kind assistance.

Hi.

1. A formula cannot do that. You would need VBA.

2. Try

=TRIM(RIGHT(SUBSTITUTE(C1,",",REPT(" ",255)),255))

Hi VoG,

Many thanks for all your help. Instead of taking out the data I could adjust the formula to pull from the LEFT of the , as opposed to the right.

Try like this

Excel Workbook
	C	D	E
1	abc, defg,hijkl, mnop	mnop	abc, defg,hijkl,
Sheet1
