    Help extracting a particular string of text from a cell.

    hello, I am trying to extract "Monin Gourmet Flavorings" from the text string below and am having issues. This is the formula I am trying to use, but it is only extracting the first 12 characters. What should I change to correct this?

    Try it like this:

    =TRIM(MID(C2,SEARCH("-",C2)+1,SEARCH("(",C2)-SEARCH("-",C2)-1))
    Where there is a will there are many ways.
